Dalomock?? AHEM!
Anyway, Mikanna does eventually show up. Unfortunately, the kitchen staff had already begun to clear away breakfast by then, so she had to make do with slimy fried eggs and stale bread. She just ate it anyway, and said nothing. [OOC: As much as I would like to comment here, I have been forbidden from interjecting emotional responses for characters, so I'm being a good little DM, and settling for just torturing her with slimy eggs.] After breakfast, you go and see what the new notice says, and you arrive just as it is being posted. It says:
"
WANTED 5-10 pupils to go on an expedition to Mugwort's Meadow, and the surrounding area, in search of a semester's worth of laboratory supplies for my "Potions and Herbs" class. CAUTION -- there have been reports of heavy humanoid activity in this area, so extreme care is recommended, and hazard pay is available. Applicants should see me immediately! - /s/ Professor Frogbottom"
Professor Herschel "Hoppy" Frogbottom is one of the younger professors, and he seems to have the best understanding of all professors here of the almost irrepressible need of most students to kick back, cut loose, and just generally live it up sometimes. While at first, this seems to be nothing more than an errand to gather salad makings, your knowledge of "Prof Hoppy," and the overly cautious policies of the faculty in general, lead you to believe that there is a high probability of some serious action occurring before this errand of yard work is completed.
