Easter fun at the Redbright Institute (Scavenger Hunt!)
Spring is in the air and the Redbright Institute is hosting a weekend of Easter-themed family fun. The event is held outdoors on the Redbright grounds and includes an Easter egg trail, five-a-side football, croquet, arts and crafts, and a cake sale. Plus, a stall for refreshments selling tea and coffee for the adults and fruit juice for the kids. It's all decidedly kid-friendly and not magical at all. Expect to see lots of excitable children running around.
Of course, there is one event for the grown-ups: the much anticipated scavenger hunt! Teams sign up on the morning of 14th April and must solve all the clues by the event's close in order to win the grand prize.
Instructions for the Scavenger Hunt
• There are five clues to solve. You will receive each clue one at a time. Each clue leads to the location of the next clue.
• The answer to the clues is always either a person or a location (or sometimes both at once). To find the next clue, you must search the location or ask the person the clue points to. The answers are not all located in the Redbright Institute, which means your characters will be racing across London to try and find all the clues.
• Except for the first clue which you are given directly at reception when you sign up, every clue is wrapped up with a red ribbon. The ribbon itself has no significance, it just tells your characters that they've found the actual clue rather than a random object.
• You can ask for help up to three times. Help is provided by Mogget, who as you all know is very friendly. You need to tell him the clue you're struggling with before he can help you, so make sure you do that in your first tag to avoid wasting time.
• Everything above is ICly explained to your characters when they sign up so they know what to do. They also know about the time limit.
• When you think you know the answer to the clue, post ICly with your character searching that location or approaching a character and highlight that part of your tag in bold like this. This will allow me to quickly and easily see that you've answered a clue so that I can reply to either give you the next one or let you know to try again.
• Every character that participates will receive an Easter egg and a bonus two activity points!
• You have until 23:59 Sunday 16th April (GMT+1) to solve all the clues! If you manage to solve them all in the time limit and reach your end goal, the characters in the winning team(s) will receive an awesome prize and an extra bonus four activity points. If you don't solve them in the time limit, your team won't win the prize.
• One more tip: If you think you know the answer, go straight to that location or person in the first couple of tags! You can dally around for as many tags as you want, but that will waste time and make it less likely that you'll get through all five clues within the time limit.
[The scavenger hunt is closed to those characters who signed up, but the rest of this event is open to everyone! Feel free to mingle. If you have any questions about the event, please ask here.]

Oh, he'll find some kind of use for it.

At the explanation, she nods though. That, at least, she can find uses for.
"This is going to look so out of place in my apartment..." Amused as much as anything, but still. She tens to keep a fairly spartan environment. This is going to stand out.

It's unlikely that the rabbit could trap someone's arm, since the spell was designed for inanimate objects. It isn't something they've tested.

His face scrunches up briefly at Sylvia's answer, but it's all right. He almost looks believable when he shrugs and tells her, "Yeah, no, 'course not. Totally won't try it." The today part is left unsaid... because he's gonna do it. Without a doubt. It's for science, okay. "I'm gonna go show off my fuckin' bunny," he announces before giving the two of them a wave and slipping away.
He'll be around for a while longer if he's needed again, but yeah. Definitely gotta parade his rabbit around a little first.

"Well. He had a good time."

Maybe Natasha has a less serious side too, somewhere beneath that professional demeanour.
no subject
She tips her head and gives an almost self-deprecating smile.
"Not sure if that's who I expected to meet or not."
no subject
Sylvia smiles back. "I liked his enthusiasm. He certainly has a memorable name. Who is he, anyway?"
A prospective student? Somehow she doubts that. She doesn't think he's one of their current students. If he was, she would have definitely seen him before.

Around a vampire, at least. The two factions aren't known for working well together. But here they are.
