John walks up to the front entrance of the school and knocks on the glass door, which seems to be rather locked at the moment. A few moments pass before the forbidding metal blinds rise from a nearby window and the head of a rather mean-looking ginger man pokes out of a nearby window. The man sizes John up for a second, but says nothing, only honoring the visitor with the most aloof of questioning gazes. John supposes it's time to introduce himself.
"Good evening, sir. I'm with the Office of the Inspector General of the Health and Safety Department. I'm here for the scheduled inspection of your kitchen, water and heating. Shall we begin?"The man, who John presumes to be the watchman, merely yawns for a second before retorting with a simple
"No, you definitely aren't. Fuck off," before disappearing back into the building, shutting the blinds and seemingly locking the window as well, judging by the locks in place over there.

Halesey and
Larry appropriately take the Prioress' answer as a hint that it might be time to leave.
"Well, okay, but I for one will be relieved that there is a bastion of perspective and introspection in a time where living dinosaurs can fall from the sky. Let us go, Derek. We have to find some other honorable means of raising enough cash for me to be able to impress Nancy tonight."And thus they leave the nunnery, leaving behind all of their gentlemen's literature for the nuns' perusal and study. After all, if you can't entrust a nun with your porn, can you entrust anybody? The two walk away in silence until they are well away from the place, at which point Larry realizes that he hasn't tried something incredibly brilliant yet - combining spells!
"Oh man, I can breathe porn and summon hats. What if I do them both together?"He concentrates on the twin joys of good porn and fine hats and, upon getting Halesey's approval on the fact that it's totally something he should do, lets off the united spell!
[Larry's affinity roll: 5+1]
Instantly, a whole lot of gentlemen's literature begins to stream rapidly from his mouth, filling up the road in front of him in ways roads were never meant to be filled up. No hats appear, however, aside from on the covers of the magazines themselves - he doesn't think gods actually wear bowler hats unless they're really weird, and these look otherwise legit to him.
Impressed by the glory of combined magic, Halesey tries a combination of his own - hairy mafiosi and indestructible beans, truly a match made in heaven.
[Halesey's affinity roll: 1-->3]
As his mind is filled with promising images of the glory that awaits, he completely forgets to think of any specifications for what the spell should manifest as, and where. So it is not that much of a surprise when he suddenly notices a man-sized bean covered in rather slimy hair floating around him. What's strange is that it seems to have a gun in its hand and a very mean expression on its face. It appears to be directed at him.
