Long Overdue Explanations

Up until recently maintained as a museum, the childhood home of the Braddock family has been pressed into service as additional housing and classroom space for the Institute. Additionally, the increased demands have led to the main ballroom being converted into a cafeteria for both the Institute and those University students on a meal plan. Student reactions have been mixed, and reports of paranormal activity are as of yet unsubstantiated.

Professor Sackville, for once, was early for XI's history class, looking quite nervous, but otherwise resigned to his fate.

Brigid sat down, and gave the professor a sheepish wave.

Kay sits down next to her, still wondering if they're going to be yelled at finally.

"You don't suppose you are the only two who are going to show up, do you?" he half-grinned.

"Right, then.

After, erm, last week's...incident, I understand that there have been a number of...rumors flying around about me and my activities.

That, and I got torn a proverbial new asshole by the headmistress about being secretive.

So, I thought we'd put away the textbooks for today, as I tried to clear...erm...tried to make things a little less...opaque.

Erm.....sorry, I'm not very good at this."

He was clearly uncomfortable, and loosened his tie.

"What was in the crate?" Kay gathers her courage and blurts out the question most prominently on her mind.

This is a canopic jar. Can anyone tell me what one of these are?"

"...I'm going to call that close enough.

This particular one is in the shape of Imseti, the god of the South, and contains what is, by now, only the remains of what once was a liver. It is part of a complete set, the rest of which were also among the items in the box, and very, very illegal to import into England, as I believe they consider it looting."
