"You should try the phone," urged Bacon, trying unsuccessfully to keep a poker face.

“Can I see it?” Isidore crossed over and held her hand out for it.

“I suppose so.” His voice, as well, is strong  - very wizardy sounding. Olvax sits down. “Novem. You work here, I assume. I’ve heard about this place; it’s intriguing.” 

He nods. He pulls out a book, the title saying The Book of Forbidden Knowledge, Vol. 1. "Does this interest you?"

“I have no clue-“

“… but I don’t like the sound of that.”

"Enter. The. Testing. Area. Please" The doors rumble expectantly. 

A TV glitches up in a corner and begins playing some news story about some deprived game people play in which children kill each other for entertainment.

Marewill sighed, leaving Mark, and went into the testing room.

A man with a dagger flipping around in his hands grins as the doors slam shut. "Oh my, Modoloth feeling generous today, I see. quite the pretty woman" then a voice crackles over the intercom. "Vice, no" and the man looks up, sad. "Damn"

Yeah don’t worry about reading all of it

You know how I am about reading everything

“It depends. Why is it forbidden, and is it actual archmagic? I’m not looking to burn through my life practicing another school when I already have saurolurgy.”

yeah, I just assumed you were going with Marewill.

Novem raises an eyebrow. "Saurology you say? Explain. I don't think I've heard of this type of magic. I am quite curious"

*immediate change of subject because the book is literally just a science book* you made an assumption, and Novem is running with it.

“Allow me to demonstrate.” Olvax unwraps a tiny bit of scaled hide from his staff. Using arcane gestures and a few magic sounding words, Olvax makes the hide fold itself, then change shape and texture, inflating into a small brown lizard (a brown anole, which are those impossible to catch Florida lizards). The anole stands still, does a flip, then charges off at incredible speed, shimmying up the desk’s leg. “I can do larger ones, but that takes more hide and more life.”

Novem raises an eyebrow, opens his book, looks through it, then says "That was anole, right? oh, and what did you mean by 'more life'?"

“Have you not studied wizardry? It takes life force - how else would you power it?” The anole looks at the pages, trying to get a chance to read some of it. “But yes, that is an anole.”

"I am not a typical wizard. I study the areas of knowledge that many consider to be... heretical or wrong to study." a colorful toucan comes to fly over to Novem's shoulder. "Such as death and the existence of God." the toucan cries out, looking at the anole. "and you? what instances of magical knowledge do you specialize in?"

“Heretical? I can’t think of any forbidden schools, just ones that aren’t very useful. Of course, all that could mean is that they’re very thoroughly forbidden. Necromancy is fine; I wouldn’t use it myself, but if you’re a scholar it’s a wonderful art. As for my specific study, I’ve been mostly trying to find new reptiles. I discovered an interesting one in a desert; it can shoot blood from its eyes. Why, I have no idea, but such an ability could be helpful to a saurolurgist.”  The anol appears completely unafraid, presumably because Olvax is controlling it.

Novem laughs bitterly. "Your school must be very much more tolerant of different subjects. I often have to do my studies in secret lest I be killed for my work."

with you? gimme a sec

The man called Vice stares at Marewill quietly. "Well, girl? I'm no good at conversation, you are gonna have to ask me something. I would much rather tear you apart where you stand and drink of your blood, but I am not allowed to do so" he licks his lips at the thought.
