WHO: Zaccheus Odd and the magic faculty.
WHAT: The mysterious necromancer welcomes his students to their new home!
WHERE: The Recreation Room, first floor of the Magic Faculty Dorm
WHEN: Sunday, February 1st at noon.
The residential halls of the magic faculty were an exercise in antique beauty. From the outside, the building looked, for all intents and purposes, like a elaborate Victorian manor house: soaring crenellations on pointed towers, high arched black eaves, gabled windows, ornate wrought-iron trellises. The hallways were all composed of hardwood floors and walls, with dark velvet curtains at each window. The walls were decorated with the occasional tapestry of majestic, mythical creatures, or magicians from by-gone days — an illustration of the Morrigan and her hounds scowled at newcomers at the entrance. Everything sounded slightly muffled in these hallways, as if the walls themselves absorbed noise with their solemnity. And in fact, the walls gave off a curious humming noise if you stayed too close, resting your ear against one; hair would start to stand slightly on end, and there was the faint smell of spilled gasoline. |
