You Call This A Gate?

Up until recently maintained as a museum, the childhood home of the Braddock family has been pressed into service as classroom space for the University. Additionally, the increased demands have led to the main ballroom being converted into a cafeteria for University students on a meal plan. The old library has been bolstered with college textbooks.

Diego covertly gave Bear a look that said, "Can you believe this lady"?

As they entered the administration building, the woman finally seems to find something she approves of. "Very nice, very nice." She clicks her pen and writes something in black ink.

She returned a wink Diego's way.

"I was starting to lose hope after seeing the grounds." She wanders around the entryway, looking at things while the administration receptionist looks on with a questioning look. Finally the receptionist turns that look on Diego and Bear.

The receptionist calls up to the Headmistress' office, "Miss Minimida, there's some students in the foyer with a visitor they believe you need to meet."

After a couple minutes Ashlie, wearing a white business suit, steps out from further in the building.

"Yes?" she addresses the gathered people. She was beginning to question why she even had a receptionist. Maybe she should build another body for herself to load into every time somebody strolled in through the gates asking for her.

The young woman scrutinizes her for a moment. "Greetings," she says, giving a slight bow and masking a puzzled look. "I am Gemmalara Allesandra Bellis Dewberry," she says, producing a business card with that name on it in silver ink. Under the name it says, 'Personal Assistant'. "I am here to make preparations for the arrival of the Acting Lady of the Lake."

"Right." she says a bit dubiously, taking the business card. "I'm Ashlie Minamida, the headmistress. Student arrivals are usually coordinated through the front office." she says, glancing over at the receptionist who just kind of shrugs at her.

"Well, her ladyship is a returning student," Gemmalara says, "Although her position has significantly improved since she was last here. At least it has improved for the time being. I have been assigned to her staff by the Grey Lords to make sure that her needs are seen to appropriately."

Gemmalara rubs the bridge of her nose and mutters something, but when she looks up, her features are schooled back into their officious politeness. "You are sure there is no other way around this? I will sleep on the floor if I must. I have little choice in the matter about remaining with her."

The bridge of the nose is rubbed again and Ashlie's almost positive she can hear something about 'shoving a foot of salt-crusted cold iron through someone's nether regions," but Gemmalara's quickly back to politeness. "It seems I have little choice then. If you will have someone provide me with the necessary forms, I will enroll."

Gemmalara stares at the devices for a moment, as if trying to comprehend it. Then she reaches out with one hand to take it. Within a few seconds, Ashlie can detect the device's distress but immediately after that, the screen turns into a series of wonderful rainbow colors before going blank with an electric zapping noise and tiny wisps of smoke out of the ports. "It would appear that your magic conflicts with mine," she says, sheepsihly offering the now-broken tablet back to Ashlie.

Ashlie blinks at the tablet but doesn't make any motion to actually take it, just staring at the smoking remains of technology.

"If you could hand that to her, please." she finally says, indicating the receptionist. "I will print you a physical copy of the list."
