Professor Magpie

open
Deferred: Agreed Amount

The pragmatic head of the Cryptozoology department at Esus University, and one of the few people qualified to teach the subject at length. She loves teaching, and has a particular soft spot for Edmund Groves, due to his great enthusiasm for Cryptids in general. She knows her stuff, and encourages her students to ask questions and be engaged during her lectures.

Imagine a younger version of Maggie Smith's portrayal of Minerva McGonagall from the "Harry Potter" movies. She loves to teach - but she doesn't shy away from the grim realities that are presented in her lessons.

Any UK English accent is allowed, but the most important thing is that she sounds knowledgeable and dignified. She needs to sound like a university professor - so keep that in mind in your recording.

The sides they read from:

  • Yes, well… Good afternoon to you as well, Mr. Greenwood. There’s no need to shake my hand quite so forcefully, thank you very much. Please find your seat, we’ll be beginning the lecture shortly.

  • It varies immensely from cryptid to cryptid. Later in the semester, we’ll be covering “The Whys of the Whats” for that very question. In many cases, we can only puzzle out their desires after they’ve had their way with a place, an object, or in this case, a person.

  • My hope is that many of you will remain in this field purely as academics. Not because you are incapable of more, but because it is a far, far more dangerous world than you know. And to live in that world, you must be equally dangerous, and more.
