University of Union. It is not quite 5am. This is no time for civilized human beings to be awake. This is a time for everyone to be asleep and oblivious to the world.
So why is someone yelling out in the dorm halls?
"Come ON you sluggabeds! Are you going to sleep the whole day away? It's almost five! Who's up for a morning jog? Air out those lungs, you know? Too much dust in here for healthy living!"
79 year old men should not be this energetic.

Yes, Union is in ruins. Yes, Ridcully knows a variety of magical spells, some of which might be able to help clear debris. But he's being stubborn about it.
"It's not that I CAN'T move the rubble. Of course I can! It's about my dignity as a mage! If people expect us to just roll up our sleeves like common craftsmen the minute something goes wrong then they'll start seeing magic as normal. THEN where would we be? Where does it stop? Magicking stains off the walls? You've got to draw the line somewhere and I'm drawing it here! Anyways, you seem to have the situation well in hand, and I am an old man. You youngsters can go run around and work up a sweat. It'll be good for you."
[C]
"My door is always open."
Is what Ridcully always told people, but this was not the case. The door to his study was closed, and while it wasn't locked, one should definitely knock before opening it if the arrowheads sticking slightly out of the wood were any indication.
Still, for whatever reason, you need to speak to the head of the Magical Studies department at the good ol' UU.
