While both Ms. Voss and Mr. Gladstone seem surprised by the request, both agree to the student interview! On the scheduled day of the interview, however, Ms. Voss apologetically informs them that something important has come up for Luther and that he'll be in Portland for the next few days. She is still willing to answer their questions, though.

With regard to Merry's question about Thom Noble, Ms. Voss clearly recognizes the name and she frowns thoughtfully before shaking her head. As far as she knows, Thom Noble never entered the Shadow World. She asks them why they would ask that? (We'll do a second response here depending on the answer!)

( OOC, this approach sounds fine to us! Whoever gets picked to interview Mr. Gladstone can submit their questions or not since he'll be canceling. :o Thanks! )

Thank you!!! I think the interview will get pushed to next week since I ended up real busy, but here's the followup to Voss:

Both Flint and Merry readily explain everything they know/saw in the Shadow World that prompted this question. They identified the "shade" in the castle (Thom Noble), and there was another shade in the circus (Jordan James). The Jordan James shade "died" in the same manner as another (unidentified) figure in the castle, i.e. after the defeat of the "boss", they cried out in pain and turned into ash. They're wondering why these townspeople are appearing in the Shadow World, and why Thom Noble and Jordan James seemed to have a direct connection to the areas that were collapsed.

That's fine! Whatever timing is best for you all is fine with us. You can handwave them asking/getting approval/doing the interview whenever it's convenient for you. Just let us know when you have questions ready!

Listening to Flint and Merry explain the situation about the 'shades', Ms. Voss' brow creases and she seems increasingly uncertain. Looking on with the Supports, she'd seen some of this but the details are new to her and seem to leave her with a lot of questions too. She confesses that she doesn't know what it means and that they never had experiences like that when she was young. They almost never actually entered the Shadow World and they never encountered anything like the cathedral. This is all new to her as well. She says that she'll talk to Luther and the Velvet Room denizens to see if they can offer any insights or if, together, they can put these pieces together. But she isn't optimistic. She thanks them for telling her this, though!
