I13DT: Magic Medicine

by **Sean Hall** » Wed Mar 12, 2014 10:04 pm

Sean walked into the medical center with a small satchel of things just in case he needed them and looked around for Nailah.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Mar 12, 2014 10:38 pm

Nailah is at the front desk, talking to one of the nurses. When she sees Sean she excuses herself and walks over to him.

"She's in the room down the hall."

by **Sean Hall** » Wed Mar 12, 2014 10:44 pm

"Alright," Sean said and gestures for Nailah to lead the way. "Are you wanting to be in the room while I do this?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Mar 12, 2014 10:54 pm

"Unless you'd prefer me not to. I feel responsible for what happened to her."

by **Sean Hall** » Wed Mar 12, 2014 11:00 pm

"Feel free then," Sean said, "Be good to have back up if things go awry."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Mar 12, 2014 11:46 pm

"Let's hope they don't." she says, leading him down the hallway and to Persephone's room. Knocking gently she steps inside.

by **Sean Hall** » Wed Mar 12, 2014 11:53 pm

"Doesn't hurt to be prepared," Sean said before following Nailah into Persephone's room and looking around.

by **Narrator** » Thu Mar 13, 2014 12:13 am

Persephone lay just about the same place Nailah had last seen her, staring up at the roof, blankly.

She didn't look particularly healthy.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Thu Mar 13, 2014 12:31 am

Nailah pulls up one of the chairs and sits down next to the bed, placing her hand on the girl's shoulder. "She's not been doing all that well. She's just fading away."

by **Sean Hall** » Thu Mar 13, 2014 12:32 pm

"Sounds like she's become disconnected," Sean said after following Nailah to Persephone's bed.

Sean places a hand on Persephone's forehead and says something quietly as he attempts to ascertain the status of her spirit.

Strained, at best. There was damage there, but she had a fairly strong spirit to begin with. Those with a weaker one may have been dead from the damage.

by **Sean Hall** » Fri Mar 14, 2014 12:28 pm

Sean reached out to her spirit, strained as it was, with his magic. Trying to find out if there was something a path to communicate directly with her.

by **Narrator** » Fri Mar 14, 2014 3:21 pm

WIth enough effort, Sean might be able to make communication.

In fact, there seemed to be TWO paths accessible, if he so chose.

by **Sean Hall** » Fri Mar 14, 2014 3:26 pm

Discretion is the better part of valor, right?

With that thought Sean tried to investigate the beginning of the two paths, so at least he wouldn't be going in completely blind just mostly.

by **Narrator** » Fri Mar 14, 2014 4:26 pm

The two paths were equally 'worn', as it were. The first was a rougher road, and the second was smoother, more preferable.

by **Sean Hall** » Fri Mar 14, 2014 4:43 pm

Easiest path is never the best one...

Sean started speaking a new ritual and in the real world he drew a symbol onto Persephone's head. He projected his avatar down the rougher road

by **Narrator** » Fri Mar 14, 2014 5:13 pm

Rocking, alone in the corner in a beat-up trailer, sat a little girl. She was wearing torn clothing, and had a very noticeable black eye.

by **Sean Hall** » Fri Mar 14, 2014 5:16 pm

"Persephone?" Sean asked looking at the little girl. His own projected form looked essentially the same as he did, but with glowing eyes.

by **Narrator** » Fri Mar 14, 2014 7:55 pm

The girl skittered back some, but shook her head. "Lucy."

by **Sean Hall** » Fri Mar 14, 2014 8:23 pm

"I just want to talk, so I'll stay over here, Lucy," Sean said, "Do you know where I can find Persephone?"

by **Narrator** » Fri Mar 14, 2014 11:55 pm

"Mommy says she's not real."

by **Sean Hall** » Sat Mar 15, 2014 12:40 pm

"Oh, and what do you think?" Sean asked.

by **Narrator** » Sat Mar 15, 2014 2:17 pm

"I think what mummy and daddy tell me to..."

by **Sean Hall** » Sun Mar 16, 2014 2:06 pm

"Well, Mommy and Daddy aren't here," Sean said, "So you can think whatever you want, Lucy."

by **Narrator** » Sun Mar 16, 2014 2:14 pm

"No. They'll know."

by **Sean Hall** » Sun Mar 16, 2014 2:26 pm

"How will they know?" Sean asked. "And if they do find out I can protect you."

by **Narrator** » Sun Mar 16, 2014 2:39 pm

"They just know.

An' I shouldn't even be talking to you..."

by **Sean Hall** » Sun Mar 16, 2014 3:44 pm

"Why is that?" Sean asked

by **Narrator** » Sun Mar 16, 2014 3:49 pm

"Daddy doesn't like me talking to strangers."

by **Sean Hall** » Sun Mar 16, 2014 3:55 pm

"Well, we can change that, Lucy. My name is Sean Hall," Sean said, "I'm a student at Xaviers University, an apprentice of Oshtur, offspring of magic, and was once marked by Chthon."

Sean smiled softly

"I'm also from Birmingham, England by way of the outer estates of the city."

by **Narrator** » Sun Mar 16, 2014 8:09 pm

"Daddy says people from Xaviers sin against God."

by **Sean Hall** » Mon Mar 17, 2014 6:03 pm

"why does he say that, Lucy?" Sean asked.

by **Narrator** » Tue Mar 18, 2014 12:40 am

"Because you're not real people. You're mew...mute ants."

by **Sean Hall** » Tue Mar 18, 2014 11:21 am

"Well, I'm not a mutant," Sean said, "I don't have the X-Gene like most of the students at Xaviers do."

by **Narrator** » Tue Mar 18, 2014 12:39 pm

"But you said you're from Xaviers."

by **Sean Hall** » Tue Mar 18, 2014 2:05 pm

"I did," Sean said, "But I'm also not a mutant."

by **Narrator** » Tue Mar 18, 2014 2:23 pm

"What do you mean?"

by **Sean Hall** » Tue Mar 18, 2014 5:30 pm

"My case is complicated," Sean said, "But the simplest explanation is that I'm a wizard not a mutant."

by **Narrator** » Tue Mar 18, 2014 5:56 pm

"Daddy says there's no such thing."

by **Sean Hall** » Tue Mar 18, 2014 6:49 pm

"Magic is quite real," Sean said reaching into his pocket and pulling out a piece of paper. "Do you want to see some magic?"
