video || something of an announcement?

[When the video initializes, those who've been around a while may well recognize the little green face on the screen. It's difficult to determine her expression, but her overly-cheerful voice when she speaks suggests she might be a bit...apprehensive.]

Good morning, everyone! I hope you're all enjoying the cooler weather! My, but it's been some time, hasn't it? I've heard one of you is looking to reopen the Academy! So industrious!

[It almost seems as though she's stalling.]

I've just returned from a journey and I would love to catch up with you all. I was...searching for something we've lost, but regrettably I did not find...it. I did not.

(OOC: The NPC will be responding as needed, but you're also welcome to thread among yourselves, even after you've gotten some information from her, and you will get information from her, if you ask the right questions :D)

Then you can relate to the instinct, but it’s nice to meet a fellow teacher.

[ Because it was actually good to know about that, even if he wasn’t considered social with his fellow professors at the clock tower. Considering the Academy and their hopes for it... She might be good for answers about that as well. But for now, her vague response gets priority. ]

Both… Can you describe what happened, then? I apologize if it’s a difficult subject, but it would be good to know what it is you dealt with specifically.

It sounds rather uncertain. I’m guessing that time progressed differently between here and that other place. [ That sounds about right for other realities, after all. There were stories sometimes about people returning from the Reverse Side where he was from being rather oddly timed… ] Regardless of the length of time, some particular habits are hard to break, I think.

Ah, so between the cryst’s disappearance and those creatures, it made it difficult for you to successfully locate and bring it back. If you were the only one to be fed upon, you’d probably have been a beacon for them. [ He hummed, thinking about the creatures. ] Lucky for you that you were able to get away from them?

Is there the possibility of bringing a team more accustomed to combat with you next time?

When you put it like that… [ He thinks back on a conversation he had with Harry and has to ask. ] I don’t know much about the cryst beyond what’s been said… But if it keeps giving you the slip, and you say it has a habit of ‘not wanting’ to be found… Would it be wrong to guess it has some form of sentience?

[ Or… Some kind of artificial intelligence system born of magic, perhaps, not unlike some he’s come across. Something to make it try to preserve its own safety or stay out of people’s hands after what happened. ]

The headmaster, hm? Too bad they never worked out the specific before the incidents, still… It’s good to know that we weren’t wrong to consider the possibility. [ It gives him more to think about, knowing that it has some level of sentience. ] From what I’ve heard, there hasn’t been much found since that time either, and he doesn’t appear to be around to ask?

I’ve been working on digging around the records room at the Academy, though, if I happen on anything interesting mixed in that might have survived, I’ll share.
