Okay, this so-called "water main" incident in the Offensive Magics building is highly suspect, and I've decided to act on it. The problem is, I don't have the resources to

Yeah. If you could do the puppet strings on some inanimate object, (like a tray) holding up a camera, that'd be really useful. Nothing to start yet-- I'd say just practice doing it from as far away as you can, until someone volunteers a camera.

Thanks for your help!

Regarding Number 1: I would love to meet this person. I'm getting more interested in the interface between magic and computing. I'm not sure yet if that's going to dovetail with my university plans or cause me to diverge from them. At any rate, I can probably cough up some cash. You don't want to know from where. Not my parents though.

I'll slip contact information under your door shortly.

Small animals, squirrels potentially excepted, aren't affected. Delilah got through at least two sets of wards.

However, there may be more than two sets.

Interesting. Someone with nature magic might be able to piggy-back on a rodent of some sort. Not my realm of magic, unfortunately.

[polymagic_ash]

So there was the squirrel ward, any idea what the other one was?

[smashingrequiem]

I believe I mentioned it before.

First was the one that reminded you (or Strongly Suggested) that You Had Somewhere Else to Be. Probably to get people to avoid coming near in the first place.

Then it was the squirrel ward.

I don't think that did what you wanted it to do, but I could of course be mistaken.

I have a camera I could donate. If it gets turned into an actual squirrel, well, there are ways of getting rid of that kind of evidence.

[smashingrequiem]

There are many ways to get rid of evidence, dear miss, as I'm sure our esteemed professor might be aware.

Just remember, where I'm from, squirrels are good eating. :)
