Ninety-Second Case.

[crane_not_crow]

It appears that Miss Sweet has gone missing. When I entered my office this morning, I found the lid to her terrarium slightly ajar, and she was nowhere to be found. No doubt she is exploring areas of the castle which she has never seen before, but I'd very much like her to return

[oh... he noticed.]

Wow! She's seeing the world now!

[crane_not_crow]

Yes. However, it's her first time out of my classroom. I'm worried she may leave the castle.

[lovelycassie]

Maybe Mrs. Norris could- no.

Well, I'm sure she'll turn up.

[crane_not_crow]

I'll be keeping an eye out.

[beansprout]

Miss Sweet? What kind of animal is she?

[crane_not_crow]

She's a red-kneed tarantula.

[beansprout]

A tarantula?

How big do you mean when you say "quite large"?

[crane_not_crow]

I've been feeding her well, so I would say about as large as my palm.

[beanie_everyday]

[TERROR! I mean...lower-case terror.]

I'll look out for it, Professor.

[crane_not_crow]

Good. The more eyes there are, the better chance we'll have at finding her.

[beanie_everyday]

Right, um. Good luck.

[crane_not_crow]

Thank you, Mister Jenkins.

How have you been feeling lately?

[yanderedere]

Could you not simply summon her back to you? An... accio spell might leave her a bit disoriented, but she would return safely to you. I think.

[crane_not_crow]

I wouldn't dare put her in a situation like that. There's no way to tell what could happen to her in transit.

[dofaye]

I'll keep an eye out, professor, although since I'm usually outdoors these days I doubt I'll be of much help. Who would be enough of a fool to let a large spider lose?

[crane_not_crow]

Hopefully, no one, unless they're looking for reasons to agitate me.

[dofaye]

You don't think there's a possibility of her escaping by herself, do you?

[He'd really rather it be a misbehaving student...]

[crane_not_crow]

It's impossible. The lid is in such a way it can only be opened if lifted from the outside.
