Foley's classroom/office<br/><strong>When:</strong>study time<br/><strong>Wearing:</strong>As pictured<br/><hr/>The door opens to admit the Headmaster. He closes it gently behind him and concentrates for a moment; everyone with any psychic sensitivity can feel that he's reinforced the wards on this room temporarily. He glances around, sees that no one has taken Rev. Foley's chair behind the desk, and starts to sit down in it, but then changes his mind and pulls it out from behind the desk, closer to the group, before sitting in it. (Rev. Foley normally does the same thing, minus the hesitation; it's the custodians who put it back behind the desk all the time.)<br/><br/>"I suppose you're wondering why I called you all here," he says, smiling briefly before turning sober again. "Not to this meeting, but to the school. I went to some trouble to gather you together in a place where you could learn and practice. None of you are here by coincidence.<br/><br/>"Penn said that William has already given you some information. Good. I've been waiting for the right time, and worrying that I might miss my cue, but this is pretty clear.<br/><br/>"Penn also said that the three of you who left were unwilling to pledge to an unspecified task that William was going to levy on you all. That's not good. They're part of this whether they like it or not. I'll have to talk to them very soon, but you six deserve not to have to wait until then.<br/><br/>"I'll tell you everything I can think of that might be important or useful to you that isn't the personal confidence of someone not in this room, but I need to prioritize. What should I talk about first? Questions?"
