"I'll be at the club by 10."

*Witches always have wards around their house. Otherwise they'd attract ghosts like moths to a flame.*

The wind grows stronger as the pair starts flying towards the university, slowing them down.

Helena curses at the wind and wraps her body in telekinetic force, cutting back the drag some and regaining some speed. When she arrived at the university she made a beeline for the Library, figuring Ginny would still be there.

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Ginny is in the library, so deep in her research that she doesn't even notice Jasmine and Helena coming.

 

[Courage Wolf]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Helene walks over and shouts "BOO!" really, really loud. "We think it could be a student or faculty member here, so we need to start looking."

 

[Hentaispider]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Ginny jumps up a little. "Oh, it's just you. Who are you talking about?"

 

[Courage Wolf]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

"The instigator of our current headaches! It makes sense, someone getting a little overly curious about something foolish, probably yanked something from that infernal reality warping Necronomicon and decided it would just be the best worst idea of the century. Or worse, its a staff member or professor who's just gone batshit. We found that summoning ritual at an old manor and a freshly slain sacrifice."

 

[Hentaispider]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

"Did you already call the police?"

 

[Courage Wolf]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

"Nope! because I'm a scatter brain and forgot, I should probably do that......." Helena scampers off to find a phone and feeds them a lame story about being dared to go into the manor by her friends and finding the grissly scene, adding a few sobs for good measure and promptly hanging up the phone before running back. "Done!"

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

When Helena comes back, Jasmine is making drawings of some of the symbols they found from the scene. "Oh, Helena. Can you try to find Heretage and ask him for a list of everyone powerful enough to have done it?"

 

[Courage Wolf]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

"On it! though, odds are he'll show up here before i can find him. Again." helena runs off to go find the professor, heading straight for his office first.

 

[Hentaispider]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Heretage is in his office, working on some papers, apparently. "Hmm? Oh, come in. Helena, was it? You're working with Ginny, right?"

 

[Courage Wolf]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

"Yes, and we found something. A corpse and what appeared to be a calling ritual outlined in the Necronomicon for summoning something. It looked like this." Helena's memory, although not entirely perfect, was still pretty damn good, and she did her best to draw a copy of the ritual sigils on a piece of paper for the professor. "The book was unhelpful on exactly what the Ritual was used to actually call, but there was no mistaking what it was. We think that one of the students or faculty is behind this and we would like a list of everyone powerful enough to your knowledge to pull this off please"

 

[Hentaispider]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

"Hmm. Let's see." Heretage pulls out a keyboard and types a few commands. A few minutes later, a printer spits out a paper with a dozen names on it. Heretage hands it over. "These are the twelve most powerful magic users here, in order of power."

The second name on the list is Willow Reed and the third Jason Heretage. Helena can't recognize the other names.

 

[Courage Wolf]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Helena reads the first few names on the list and pales, really hoping it wasn't Willow... thanking the professor for his assistance, Helena headed back to the library to find Jasmine. "This is the list of the 12 most powerful magic users here, Willow being second and the professors son being third, I don't know who's at the top. But I need to go talk to Willow, and the other names need to be checked, What time is it, I've lost track..."

 

[Hentaispider]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Ginny looks at her wrist. "I think it's about lunch time. Let's go. After that, we'll try to check the list starting from the top."

 

[Courage Wolf]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

"Alright" Helena is fidgety, not really wanting to think about the possibility of it being Willow, she liked Willow. *Jasmine, when I go to meet Willow at the club, do me a favor and follow discreetly, stay hidden and see if you can figure anything out, i don't want to believe it, but the possibility is there.* heading to the cafeteria Helena didn't have anything to eat, the current situation weighing heavily on her mind, poking at her food as if it contained the mysteries of the universe and that the incessant prodding would reveal them to her...

 

[Hentaispider]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

*Sure. If that's what you think is best.*

Ginny and Jasmine seem to be enjoying their meals, at least, though the fare doesn't look very good. Through a window Helena can see a police car arriving to the building, with two serious looking men stepping out before disappearing from the view, presumably inside the building.

 

[Courage Wolf]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Helena waits for Ginny and Jasmine to finish their meals before they got started on the list. "So, how do we go about finding number one? I've never heard of him, should we go find the Dean, or just start poking around by asking other students?"

 

[Hentaispider]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

"We have his name. A simple detection spell will do the trick." Pushing her plate over, Jasmine starts draws several symbols in the air and whispers the name. She smiles. "A protection spell, but not a very good one." Standing up, Jasmine starts walking towards the stairs. "This way."

 

[Courage Wolf]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Helena follows, vowing to learn that spell as well, it seemed jasmine was always a useful source of nifty tricks. It was starting to irk her a little, but she could only guess it came with experience like so many other things, heck, reading the necronomicon like she had had given Helena a few insights into magical theory herself that she would have to try at one point or another.
