Case 3

Who: Sherlock, open
Where: All over Campus
When: various points in January
What: test-running abilities and general




A. A Dog reflects the family

As been known, off and on, a black hound had been seen on campus since August - a few might have realized the beast was the same person as a certain Vampire named Arthur Bell - or Sherlock Holmes as the faculty now knows him as.

Curiously, the hound is now seen with a cute little bowtie around his neck, as he trots and bounds across the snow, behaving very much like an ordinary canine - even deigning himself to play if prompted, to better imitate convincing mannerisms.

B. Taking Flight

Ravens are not a rare sight, flitting from tree to eaves to windowsills, cackling, and cawing with nary a 'Nevermore' to be uttered. An observant eye may notice a Raven that seems a little too curious about the going on of things happening inside public rooms of the academy and that sometimes it stops to stretch it's wings a little too much, or excessively preening.

What a queer bird...

[Oh? Sherlock is the first vampire that Emille has met, but she doesn't feel terrified by him. No, she's more intrigued than anything. This mysterious man is now even more mysterious.]

A vampire, you say? You admit it with no hesitation. I appreciate that you are straight-forward, Sir Holmes. [But "straight-forward" rarely means "completely honest." She was sure that he, just like everyone else, was hiding something. Or many things. Especially if he is interested in the world of secret and hidden knowledge, as it seems.]

[Emille points behind her, towards the room she was in when he had arrived.] That room is my office. If you ever need assistance, do not hesitate to contact me. I take great joy in aiding others with their research, and late hours usually do not bother me.

...That is, if you would ever require assistance in the first place. I am sure that your job leaves you very capable.

That is certainly a fair reason, Mister Holmes. [Now she's going to have to look into who on the faculty is a vampire. Oh well, she'll meet them all soon enough.]

[A nod, and what could be considered a very slight smile.] Our proficiencies lie within the same realm, then. I confess that I know little about magic myself, and still have very much to learn. Thankfully, it seems that I am in the correct place to do so.

If you wish, please make use of any of the equipment in here as the need arises. [Emille's sure he's already been doing that, but as the new Head, she figures it's only proper to say it "officially."] Also, my offer for assistance always stands. If you ever find a bit of spare time and want to contribute to a project, please see me and I will be glad to let you jump in.
