Wed the 17th - Headmistress' Office - Cue up the CCR

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Mon Dec 01, 2014 5:20 pm

Steph waited down the hall from Sam's office for Theresa to arrive.

by **Theresa McMasters** » Mon Dec 01, 2014 6:14 pm

Theresa showed up, as promised, and wearing something more appropriate to talking to the Headmistress. "Ready when you are," she said to Steph.

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Mon Dec 01, 2014 6:25 pm

Steph sighed as she pushed herself up from the chair she'd been sitting in.

"Ready as I'll ever be. I like that top."

Walking down the hall she stopped in front of the Headmistress' door and knocked.

"I only pull it out for special occasions. Dates and such."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Dec 01, 2014 6:29 pm

"You can come in Miss Kaltiera, Miss McMasters."

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Mon Dec 01, 2014 6:30 pm

"Good morning," she said, walking in and taking a seat at Sam's desk if Theresa sat.

"We had...an incident last night."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Dec 01, 2014 6:36 pm

"So the infirmary tells me."

by **Theresa McMasters** » Mon Dec 01, 2014 6:37 pm

Theresa settled into one of the chairs, letting Steph take the lead since this was her idea after all.

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Mon Dec 01, 2014 6:42 pm

"Assuming here, that you're aware of Hannah Murphy's lycanthropy, and that its not a mutation, but instead a curse...and as it's the full moon, she changed last night..."

Stephanie recounted every detail of the story as best as she could, letting Theresa chime in if need be.

"...long story short, I'm afraid that both Brigid and Theresa may now be infected...cursed...whatever you wish to call it. While that's concerning in and of itself, I'm also a bit concerned about the younger Murphy, who seems to be...possessed by that creature...Haag."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Dec 01, 2014 6:44 pm

"Do you still have the odd objects her younger sister somehow got her hands on? I'd like Doctor Weaver to look them over."

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Mon Dec 01, 2014 6:47 pm

"I do. They're locked in my office. I'll bring them up after we're done."

"Not sure if this is a psychic issue or a magic issue, which is why I wanted to get your expertise. Also wasn't sure how much we should inform Brigid's family..."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Dec 01, 2014 6:50 pm

"I rather think that when dealing with the 'Lord of the Hidden Jungle' we perhaps might want some certainty before we go raising his blood pressure."

"We have a difficult situation here. Most of those who were infected with Miss Murphy originally were able to be cured, but the strain in her seems to have mutated to be resistant."

by **Theresa McMasters** » Mon Dec 01, 2014 6:58 pm

"I'm a little more concerned personally by the situation with the smaller Murphy. Whatever that was, it was capable of convincing her to shoot her own sister *in the eye* with silver arrows."

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Mon Dec 01, 2014 7:00 pm

"I'm concerned with that too. The thing mentioned that it was able to control her because when she's phasing she's not quite on the same level of reality.

"And I can't say I ever recall Murphy ever becoming the size of a Fiat, nor losing as much control as she did last night."

Steph rubbed her eyes. "I also don't know how to address the rumor mill that's already churning. The last thing we need is more people snooping around and potentially getting infected should all three of them turn tonight."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Dec 01, 2014 7:03 pm

"So her sister was injured as well?"

by **Theresa McMasters** » Mon Dec 01, 2014 7:07 pm

"Only if you count falling out of a tree while super dense, and I don't," Theresa said. Her personal feelings might be clouding her judgment a little.

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Mon Dec 01, 2014 7:14 pm

"I'm concerned about her mental health what with her being possessed by some damned ghost or spirit or psychic entity...but physically I believe she's fine."

She huffed. "I hate magic and psychics. No offense."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Dec 01, 2014 7:16 pm

"I'm mostly referring to your suspicion that she's infected as well."

by **Theresa McMasters** » Mon Dec 01, 2014 7:18 pm

"I think she was referring to Big Murphy, Brigid, and myself, Miss McManus."

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Mon Dec 01, 2014 7:46 pm

"Theresa's right. I meant Hannah, not Jean-Louise."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Dec 01, 2014 7:54 pm

"So I assume you're making safety arrangements already?"

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Mon Dec 01, 2014 8:29 pm

"As far as being with them while there's a chance they may shift, absolutely. We're also meeting later today to discuss...some shifting basics, just in case. Given what happened last night, I'm not totally sold on the idea of doing this right on the grounds again, but I'm not sure where else to go on short notice."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Dec 01, 2014 8:43 pm

"So you're not feeling optimistic about using the Danger Room?"

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Mon Dec 01, 2014 8:48 pm

"Well. On short notice it was still booked up for part of the evening. With your override, I'm sure we could use the room and likely contain things a bit better."

She paused for a moment.

"Though there's the potential for some damage to the room if everyone turns into what Murphy turned into last night..."

by **Theresa McMasters** » Mon Dec 01, 2014 8:58 pm

"Yeah, she was eating fire. I'm not sure what she'd do to the hard light in the Danger Room."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Dec 01, 2014 9:01 pm

"The alternative seems to be no containment, unless you're certain you can hold the attention of all three of them."

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Mon Dec 01, 2014 9:05 pm

Steph nodded thoughtfully.

"Seems would be our best choice then...lock down the DR, and maybe keep some of the teams on alert. I...she ate the campfire. The entire thing. I couldn't possibly hold the attention of everyone."

by **Theresa McMasters** » Mon Dec 01, 2014 9:23 pm

"There are worse places to spend a night than the Danger Room."

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Mon Dec 01, 2014 9:29 pm

"I've got the perfect simulation," she said, breaking into a small smile.

"Okay. I feel a bit better now getting some of this sorted... thank you Ms. McManus."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Dec 01, 2014 9:31 pm

"Anytime. If it turns out they're not shifting though, and there's any question as to how lucid Miss Murphy is, I want them out of there. No sense in turning a hypothetical into a certainty, aye?"

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Mon Dec 01, 2014 9:33 pm

"They'll be out whether they want to be or not," she said glancing at Theresa.

by **Theresa McMasters** » Mon Dec 01, 2014 9:34 pm

Theresa looked like she wanted to object, but wasn't going to do it with the Headmistress sitting there. "Sure, whatever." She did, however, glare a bit at Stephanie.

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Dec 01, 2014 9:37 pm

"Just a precaution, Miss McMasters."

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Mon Dec 01, 2014 9:38 pm

Stephanie caught the glare and just barely caught herself before growling at Theresa.

by **Theresa McMasters** » Mon Dec 01, 2014 9:41 pm

"The only reason we're even having to go through this exercise is that I wasn't able to focus one-on-one with Murphy. I had her reigned in until Brigid came in brandishing a stick."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Dec 01, 2014 9:42 pm

"Am I pointing fingers here?"

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Mon Dec 01, 2014 9:44 pm

"Sorry...it was a long night. I think we're all on edge here a bit."

by **Theresa McMasters** » Mon Dec 01, 2014 9:46 pm

"I'm sorry, Headmistress. Steph's right."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Dec 01, 2014 9:47 pm

"I'm sure there'll be plenty of... together time after the moon has waned."

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Mon Dec 01, 2014 9:53 pm

"Yes," she said, exhaling to stay calm.

"You'll definitely want a training outfit or something you're not fond of to wear tonight."
