People who use dangerous methods, at the very least. If they're using that kind of power just to establish this school and bring people here, it seems... decent enough, on the surface.
But the wording in that acceptance letter is another thing entirely, and to be working with that level of power... it's one hell of a thing to pull off.
There's only so much we can do. Searching the place hasn't turned anything up, no one else has any leads... we'll just have to keep an eye out and see if anything changes. Surely something has to happen.

My name is Lucretia, though- I'd prefer you not make it public.
[It makes him curious, a little, about her reasons, but boy does he know what it's like to be cagey and need to hide. So he's interested and curious in what she knows and what she can do, but he doesn't plan to ask too many questions.]
I'll do the same, if that's how you'd prefer to do things.
[he gets a little nod, there.]
Everyone else I've met here knows me as the Director. I'd say I do a little more than just-- dabbling in the arcane, though without my abilities, there's... a somewhat more restricted list of ways I can actually help.

Sounds pretty dangerous. Which makes me think we are dealing with some very dangerous people.

[hopefully, they won't need magic to get the hell out of here.]
It might be a... fairly new sort of experience, but I do think we'll manage. One way or another.
