Apparation to The Sanctuary had been a breeze. The new patients had all appeared with a resounding crack, echoed loudly by the cracks indicating the two guides who had arrived along with them. The guides had escorted the duo in through the short, prim picket fence that surrounded the large, three story, red brick building. The lawn was short and large, with the distance from fence to front door extending just a bit over three hundred feet. There were few trees, but they were large and well maintained, with flower beds beneath them, though there were no flowers thanks to the sudden change in temperature that the fall season brought along with it. The cobble-stone path that led up to the large double-doors of the entrance to The Sanctuary was tred lightly, with one guide moving forward to wave a hand at the doors, indicating their arrival.
The two, large wooden doors would open automatically for the new occupants, the first smell eveloping them was a whiff of lilacs and lavender. But the large, high-ceiling foyer wasn't their destination, though the plush benches looked comfortable and the art on the walls was warm and welcoming. No. It was the large glass doors of the Processing Center that were the ultimate destination, and once the duo had been ushered inside by the helping hands of the two maids waiting just inside the front door (who were also gracious enough to take their bags), their paperwork would begin. Sheet after sheet, it was all filled out, they were given long, slim journals and special quills that would write as they dictated, then they were adorned with silver bracelets, each bearing the name of the individual patient as well as their room number, with the woman calmly explaining that the bracelets would keep them from being able to perform any magic while under this roof. Then their wands were collected, placed into individual boxes which were charmed closed, then placed into a larger box on the floor.
A list of rules and regulations were handed to each of them, explaining the 10 pm and 11 pm curfews, that they were to be indoors by ten in the evening or they would be locked outside, and that they needed to be in their bedrooms by eleven, or they would be locked out of their rooms. It explained that their bedroom doors would unlock at five in the morning and that the doors leading outside would unlock promptly at seven. Breakfast would be served every day, at seven am and would last until eight, lunch from one to two in the afternoon, and dinner from seven pm until eight pm. Those were the only times that meals would be offered, and if the meals were missed or the patients were hungry for something additional, they would have to make the food themselves in the kitchen. The rules continued on, but they wouldn't have long to read them at the moment, because they were being ushered back out of the Processing Center and into the main building. The woman leading them announced that the rooms with a One in them were on the first floor, and the rooms with a Two in them were in the second floor. They were told that a map could be found within the pages of their journals, at the end, as well as another copy of the Rules and Regulations, in case something happened to theirs. She explained briefly, and in parting, that the journals were all linked and that if they wanted to keep people from seeing their entries, they would have to mark them 'Private', which thanks to the magic in the journals, would lock the entry up tight so that no one would be able to read it.
With that, the woman was turning and heading back into the Processing Center, to prepare for the next group of arrivals. The guides, as well, were turning to leave through the large double-doors of the building, leaving the two new patients alone in the large, seemingly empty building.
