Ishachus Lucias Sabina: He drops his hand. "There is nothing about her that I can detect."

Matt Savage: *Nods gently* Okay, something has spooked her though *He shifts the girl into an easier to carry position* Alice... Think for me sweetie, what's after ya?

Alice Newcomb: "It's invisible," she whispers, looking nervously around the park.

Ishachus Lucias Sabina: His hand moves through the air again, and he asks a question in Latin.

Ishachus Lucias Sabina: 8,10,4,

Ishachus Lucias Sabina: "She has no magic affecting her whatsoever," he confirms.

Matt Savage: *Nods a little giving her a peck on the forehead* We'll find it if it is. Then we'll stop it. Promise.

Alice Newcomb: "It mustn't find me."

Matt Savage: *Nods his head lightly, then grunts a little as he supports her with one had for a momnent fishing some prayer beads from his pocket, then rolling them between his fingers, closing his eyes slowly*

Matt Savage: 4,8,

Matt Savage: 3,2,

Matt Savage: ((Throws out a basic correspondence 1 ping to see if anything is there that doesn't have a physical correlation when he looks))

Alice Newcomb: "We shouldn't stay out here in the open."

Alice Newcomb: *squirming to be put down*

Matt Savage: *Frowns gently* Nothing here *He murmurs as he slips them away, then looks to her.* Nothing here at all babe *Then he looks to Alice* You wanna take her back to yours? Got any mind readers?

Ishachus Lucias Sabina: ((*puts on a dress*))

Alice Newcomb: ((I knew Isaac was a transvestite!))

Ishachus Lucias Sabina: ((Since Karlos I've been unable to get the switchers outta my head))

Matt Savage: ((Dum dum DUM! that second one should be Isha... sowwy))

Matt Savage: ((I found the thought of Matt calling Isha babe more disturbing..))

Ishachus Lucias Sabina: He observes them both, then tugs a coin from one pocket and a lighter from the other, flicking the lighter on and holding the metal over it.

Alice Newcomb: Her eyes can the horizon looking for who knows what, then flicker quickly towards the lighter.

Alice Newcomb: (can=scan)

Matt Savage: *Keeps the girl cradled close as he looks around as well, begining to think it's nothing, but not taking that chance*

Alice Newcomb: Squirms again, wanting to be set down.

Kelton Michaels: The Deacon's face appears in the flame Isha creates, calm and pleasant as always. "Ishachus. What can I help you with?"

Matt Savage: *Blinks in suprise at that* Woah... that's... cool

Alice Newcomb: "Hi Mr. Michaels." What's he doing in the Ice Man's lighter?

Ishachus Lucias Sabina: He glances to Matt, then to his Deacon. "I request permission to bring one to the Covenant who is not of the Order."

Matt Savage: *Grunts alittle as he keeps the squirming girl close* Alice... calm down okay? We'll protect you, promise.

Alice Newcomb: "I can't... run... with you holding me... so tight."

Kelton Michaels: He nods a little. "I see. Who is this individual?"

Ishachus Lucias Sabina: "His name is Matt Savage. He is of the Akashic Brotherhood. I have verified this to be true."

Matt Savage: *Nods a little* Yeah babe, but I run faster than you, so I'll carry you okay?

Alice Newcomb: Looks suddenly over her shoulder, blinking rapidly.

Kelton Michaels: He considers a moment, and then nods. "Permission Granted. He is, of course, in your charge while inside the Covenant."

Matt Savage: *Looks int eh direction Alice is, tightening his arms to stop her fleeing* Stay with me Alice. Please?

Ishachus Lucias Sabina: He nods slightly. "Of course, Deacon." He releases the tab of the lighter, cutting out the flame, since the coin's starting to combat the ice from his fingers and actually hurt. He pockets the lighter and palms the coin between both hands to cool it down before pocketing that also.

Alice Newcomb: "I think we should go,"

Ishachus Lucias Sabina: "We are leaving." Probably says it to Alice. He turns and strides back toward that stolen car.

Alice Newcomb: Tries to tug Matt into motion, since he isn't letting go of her.

Matt Savage: *Nods a little* Right with ya *He comments as he turns to follow Isha keeping Alice pinned to him* Fiesty women *He murmurs ruefully*

Ishachus Lucias Sabina: That doesn't get so much as a ghost of a smile from him. He simply returns to the car and gets in, starting the engine and pulling away once Matt and Alice are aboard.

Alice Newcomb: Gets in the back with Matt, climbing onto her knees to look out the back window as they drive off. "Faster, Isaac!"

Matt Savage: *Hops in the back and nods rubbing her back a little as he looks to Isha* Any rules I should know before I get there?

Ishachus Lucias Sabina: ((To le bat-queens))

Matt Savage: ((Otay))

Alice Newcomb: ((Hops to Queens))

 

FOUR ELEMENTS

Ishachus Lucias Sabina: "Do not perform Magick unless you have permission to do so. Do not reveal the location of the Covenant to anyone. Ever."

Alice Newcomb: Reaches for the door handle.

Matt Savage: *Drags Alice's arms away from the doorwrapping her up in his arms again* Alice, behave *He mutters, then nods to the rear view mirror* No problem.

Ishachus Lucias Sabina: He nods. "It is not for me to tell you whether you may ever return. You must assume not unless the Deacons advise you otherwise." He drives like a bastard.

Alice Newcomb: "We're here," she mumbles, scowling as Matt grabs her.

Matt Savage: *Nods* Again no problem, just want Alice to be safe, then I'll go if that's easier.

Ishachus Lucias Sabina: He nods. "Your body is about to suffer. Can you prepare it against extreme cold?"

Matt Savage: *Nods quickly* Sure I can take the edge off. *He closes his eyes starting a cycle of four breathing routine as he keeps his arms locked, holding his wrists. Not easy, but it's all he can do*

Matt Savage: 8,7,

Matt Savage: 8,6,

Ishachus Lucias Sabina: He elbows the childproof central locking as they slow at a junction.

Matt Savage: ((Why yes, yes he can!))

Alice Newcomb: She normally doesn't mind Matt being touchy feelie, but he's making it...*squirms*...hard....*squirms*... to move. "YOU'RE SQUISHING ME!"

Ishachus Lucias Sabina: ((Apparently so!))

Ishachus Lucias Sabina: Eventually screeches to a halt in some arse end of nowhere a few miles from La Guardia, and emerges from the car.

Matt Savage: *Sighs softly* I'm sorry sweetie. I am *Then he breaths a sigh of relief as they stop, letting her go now she can't leap from a moving car*

Ishachus Lucias Sabina: "Miss Newcome, take Mr. Savage's hand. You know the procedure."

Alice Newcomb: Scrambles out of the car, and scowls at Matt, holding out her hand for him to take.

Matt Savage: *Slips out of the car shaking his head a little as he takes her hand, muttering softly to himself*

Ishachus Lucias Sabina: He leads them to an alley, then begins chanting calmly, moving his hands through the air in concert.

Ishachus Lucias Sabina: 6,10,8,

Ishachus Lucias Sabina: 10,10,7,

Ishachus Lucias Sabina: 7,8,3,

Alice Newcomb: Stops to stare at the ground.

Ishachus Lucias Sabina: After a few moments of this, he stops, and takes Matt's free hand, rendering them all blind.

Matt Savage: *Blinks a little, then grunts and falls silent reasoning he's been blinded so he can't tell people where it is he just follows Isha along, tugging Alice along behind him*

Alice Newcomb: 4,3,1,9,6,2,6,9,

Alice Newcomb: Her hand tightens around Matt's then relaxes some. They should be safe in the dark, right?

Alice Newcomb: She has that cat with its head in a bag reasoning. If you can't see it, it can't see you.

Ishachus Lucias Sabina: He leads them flawlessly, advising who to put what foot where when the curbs come and go. And then it gets complicated. Lots of inch-by-inch instructions. Where to step. Where to duck. When to turn. How far in centimetres to move. Stop, start, stop, start, for what feels like hours but is only a couple of minutes. Then the blackness fades to a mere darkness, revealing the huge mansion before them, and the dyson-sphere-like shell all around.

Matt Savage: *Follows along dogedly, actually fidning this a little exhilarating as he finds his touch of sense becoming a little more important as he tages along. Finally he blinks curiously at the building, nodding a little, but saying nothing, knowing he's barely even a guest here*

Ishachus Lucias Sabina: He removes his cold, cold hand from Matt's, glancing to him. "You remain well?"

Alice Newcomb: Stands there rubbing her head where she bumped it on something.

Matt Savage: *Nods a little as he blinks to Isha* I'm good. Barely felt it *He shrugs and flexs his fingers lightly* No harm *He keeps Alice's hand in his*

Ishachus Lucias Sabina: He nods, and moves toward the mansion, striding up the steps and pushing the front doors open.

Alice Newcomb: "They can't find us here," she says in a conspiratorial tone, glancing all around as they head inside.

Matt Savage: *Nods gently as they move along* Exactly, you're safe now okay? All's okay.

Lawrence Castlewaye: Hard grey eyes, set in a somewhat rough-hewn face. Dark hair is cut short, just enough to be brushed back. Darker skin, weatherbeaten, but still, no fat on his face, or his body either, both still athletic and trim. He's not overly broad, in fact, slight around the shoulders, but well-muscled arms and wrists as thick as his elbows. For this place, he dresses more practically, with heavy trousers, steel-toed shoes and opennecked shirt and jacket. Over thirty, probably just over forty.

Ishachus Lucias Sabina: He closes the doors once they're in

Lawrence Castlewaye: A book in hand, a small pair of glasses worn, as he moves out of the library. Glancing up to the entrants, and snapping the book closed, moving towards them with a smile that fades as soon as it's there

Ishachus Lucias Sabina: He glances to Lawrence as he approaches. "Your Apprentice is in need of your assistance."

Matt Savage: *Releases Alice when they're in, stepping to the side and keeping silent giving Lawrence a little nod*

Alice Newcomb: "They didn't get us," she announces, as she sees her pater approaching.

Lawrence Castlewaye: "What's she done now?" It's an even voice, and a rather bland look to her. Compared to Ishachus, a bastion of normality

Ishachus Lucias Sabina: "She has become paranoid."

Alice Newcomb: The girl is a mess. Uncharacteristically dirty, nails torn and bloodied, scraped and ragged looking.

Matt Savage: *Flexs his fingers a little, resisiting his urge to comfort the girl as he just shuffles his weight from foot to foot*

Lawrence Castlewaye: "It's a usual stage" Rather calmly, and another of those fading smiles "Alice, come here a moment, will you?"

Alice Newcomb: Scowls at Isaac. "I have not!"

Alice Newcomb: Rolls her lips and gives Lawrence a delirious look, as she inches a little closer to him. "What?"

Lawrence Castlewaye: His smile is calm, even, and he extends a hand, the wrists massive, towards her. His voice, calm and authorative "Ask me something, that I've told you before. Just ask me."

Alice Newcomb: Slips her hand into his, just because... well, the hand is there. Blinks in confusion. "Stop lowering your guard?" How many times has he said that during fencing practice?

Ishachus Lucias Sabina: He rolls his eyes and beckons them all to follow, heading up the stairs and banging, once, on the Deacon's door.

Lawrence Castlewaye: He smiles a touch "Excellent." A small nod across to Ash, closing his hand carefully about hers. Just a firm grip "Now, Alice, you remember I've spoken to you on conflict. How it drives us, and winnows out what is unneeded?" Definately a lecturer

Matt Savage: *Folds his hands in front of him to avoid touching anything as he stays at the back of the group. Following along discreetly*

Alice Newcomb: Nods vaguely and looks at the ceiling, wondering where that bat she caught the other day got off to.

Lawrence Castlewaye: He follows Ish, keeping her eyes on Alice. And speaking "Pay attention to me when I speak, apprentice. Please."

Ishachus Lucias Sabina: He waits patiently at the door.

Alice Newcomb: "Huh?" Blinking at her pater. Maybe the snake ate it.

Alice Newcomb: "I saw a hippogryph yesterday. But I couldn't catch it."

Alice Newcomb: "But instead of bird parts, it had bat parts. And instead of horse parts, it had lion parts."

Lawrence Castlewaye: "Sounds fascinating" Nodding a little, speaking evenlyu. Leading her to the Deacon's office "What else have you seen?"

Kelton Michaels: "Enter," comes the voice from behind the door.

Matt Savage: *ROcks back and forth on his heels a little, his brow furrowing at Alice's apparent madness at the moment. But he's well aware his opinion would be less than valued here. If he has one at all*

Alice Newcomb: "Maybe it wasn't a hippogryph at all," she murmurs, then shudders. "Bugs. Lots and lots of bugs." Lowers her voice to a conspiratorial tone. "Did you know cockroaches can talk?"

Ishachus Lucias Sabina: He finally pushes the door open, holding it open for all. "Deacon," he says.

Kelton Michaels: He looks up from his desk and the thick book on it, and nods, rising with some effort. "Ishachus, Alice...and Mr. Savage, I assume. Welcome, one and all." A warm smile, as he leans forward, palms resting on the desk's surface.

Alice Newcomb: Doh! She's back in the principals office! "I didn't put that snake under the toaster!" she swears. "I don't know where it came from."

Ishachus Lucias Sabina: "Miss Newcomb is insane." He closes the door.

Matt Savage: *Nods his head lightly as he steps in* Nice to meet Ya *He offers as he steps in*

Alice Newcomb: "I am not!" Scowling darkly at Isaac.

Lawrence Castlewaye: "About the snake, at least, she's not" Calmly

Ishachus Lucias Sabina: He stands at ease by the door.

Matt Savage: *Moves to the door as well, trying to look as inconpicous as he can*

Kelton Michaels: A raised eyebrow, as he offers up the seats in front of the desk. "Everyone, please, sit down." He eases himself back into his chair. "Now. Before I get to the matter of Alice's sanity, may I ask the relevance of Mr. Savage's involvement in this matter?"

Ishachus Lucias Sabina: "Mr. Savage is Involved with Miss Newcomb." Oh yes. The Capital I in Involved.

Lawrence Castlewaye: He moves in, keeping Alice by himself, and rests back comfortably in the chair, keeping the book on his lap

Alice Newcomb: Why is everyone holding on to her? She drags a chair closer to Law's and plops into it.

Matt Savage: *Blushes just a touch as he shrugs, he ain't gonna be denying it*

Alice Newcomb: Cranes around in her chair to give Matt a delirious smile when Isaac mentions him.

Kelton Michaels: "I see." He nods. "Understood. Now...on what basis do you call Alice's sanity into question?"

Matt Savage: *Can't help but smile back to the girl giving her a little wink, then straightening his face quickly*

Ishachus Lucias Sabina: He snorts. "She's bugfuck, sir."

Alice Newcomb: Oh, that's a good question! She eyes Isaac. They told her she wasn't crazy when she came here. It's not fair for Isaac to start saying she is.

Lawrence Castlewaye: "Not the most apt of descriptions with regard to my apprentice" Quietly said, glancing between them "But the reasons, first?"

Kelton Michaels: "Ishachus." His voice is calm, though perhaps a hint of disapproving. "I did not ask for a reiteration of your assesment. I asked for evidence that she is not sane."

Ishachus Lucias Sabina: "She is insistent that invisible beings pursue her. I find no evidence of any such thing. She maintains that they pursue us all. She is either losing her grip, or taking drugs."

Alice Newcomb: "No, no, I stopped taking them," she swears. "I even got in trouble, cuz I failed my blood test." Frowning. She hadn't seen Dad that pissed in a long time.

Lawrence Castlewaye: "When did you take them, Alice? And have you taken anything else odd, since I began tutoring you?"

Kelton Michaels: He nods. "Has anyone performed a scan using Ars Manium to ensure she is not seeing things which truly are there?"

Alice Newcomb: "I didn't take anything," she swears.

Ishachus Lucias Sabina: "That is why I have brought her to you," he says flatly.

Kelton Michaels: He nods to Ishachus. "Understood." He turns his eyes to Alice. "Is there anything in this room, right now, that you can see, Alice?"

Matt Savage: *Fidgets a little to himself as he watches the proceedings*

Alice Newcomb: Glances around... "Uhh, books?"

Ishachus Lucias Sabina: "Miss Newcomb believes they cannot get us here."

Kelton Michaels: A small smile. "Anything besides Lawrence, Ishachus, Matt, myself, and my usual office decorations."

Lawrence Castlewaye: "She's showing a sense of security, then" Calmly, responding to Ish "Alice, the people following you. What do they look like?"

Alice Newcomb: Her eyes flash towards the corner. There's that damned snake! Then quickly away. "Uhhh, nothing," she says hurriedly.

Ishachus Lucias Sabina: "Invisible," he intones dully.

Alice Newcomb: Law> "I don't know. They're invisible."

Alice Newcomb: Nodding at Ish.

Lawrence Castlewaye: "Very well. How do you know they're following?"

Kelton Michaels: He glances over, where her eyes went, to the corner, frowning a little bit.

Matt Savage: *Just watches the verbal tennis match silently*

Alice Newcomb: "I can feel them," she whispers, carefully pretending the red corn snake is not in Kelton's office.

Kelton Michaels -> Alice Newcomb: Ummm...IS the snake in Kelton's office?

Lawrence Castlewaye: Another slow nod, running a hand over his hair "Alright. When did you start feeling them, Alice?"

Alice Newcomb -> Kelton Michaels: ((Yeah, the snake is real. *c*))

Alice Newcomb: "The day after Ice.. ummm... Ishachus, uncursed me."

Kelton Michaels: A sigh, as he spots the snake, and he repeats a phrase in Enochian, three times, almost in a chant.

Lawrence Castlewaye: Just a glance between the two "I hadn't heard about this"

Kelton Michaels: 6,9,3,2,4,

Kelton Michaels: ((Per+Awarness))

Matt Savage: 7,9,5,

Ishachus Lucias Sabina: He scowls slightly, admitting grudgingly "Miss Randelle unleashed a curse upon innocent bystanders recently. Your Apprentice and Mr. Savage were both affected, along with an unknown number of Sleepers."

Alice Newcomb: 10,9,9,9,8,9,8,7,

Ishachus Lucias Sabina: 5,8,8,5,

Kelton Michaels: ((Holy SHIT))

Lawrence Castlewaye: 4,3,2,8,

Ishachus Lucias Sabina: ((DUDE!))

Alice Newcomb: "Don't hurt him!" she says suddenly, jumping out of her chair and racing over to grab the snake.

Lawrence Castlewaye: "And you didn't, Isachus, think to inform me that my apprentice had been attacked by another member of the Order?"

Alice Newcomb: ((Will be able to forecast the weather for a week. *G*))

Kelton Michaels: Lawrence feels magic; Isha and Matt can narrow it down to the room, as opposed to elsewhere in the Chantry.

Matt Savage: ((By the sounds of things she probably thinks she can anyway at the moment))

Kelton Michaels -> Alice Newcomb: It came from Kelton, was Life/Correspondance magic. Has an Agonized, Introverted feel. She knows instinctively that all he did was freeze the snake in stasis, harmlessly.

Ishachus Lucias Sabina: "Miss Randelle is the Apprentice of another."

Kelton Michaels: "He's not hurt, Alice. Merely frozen so he would not escape when we went to retrieve him." His eyes flick to Ishachus. "Abbey cursed Alice, Mr. Savage, and Sleepers? What were the circumstances around this?"

Alice Newcomb: Slips the snake inside her shirt, where it will be safe, then returns to her seat.

Alice Newcomb: "Abbey..." Blinks. "The albino woman?"

Ishachus Lucias Sabina: He gestures for Matt to relay the tale.

Matt Savage: *Tenses his jaw a little at the mention of the curse, but it's hardly the time or place so he remains stoically silent*

Lawrence Castlewaye: "Even so" He nods, listening now

Matt Savage: *Blinks slightly* Oh... Ummm, some skinhead guy was getting leary at her. Alice asked her if she worked at the carnival as she's an albino... So she decided to zap everyone. *He shrugs his shoulders slightly* No one went for her or anything.

Kelton Michaels: "And that's everything that occurred?" His polite way of asking for more detail.

Alice Newcomb: "And that woman with baldilocks did call her a pocket pussy."

Matt Savage: *Nods slightly* Yeah she walked off, me and Alice went on some rides. Luckily it was spotted early, bad luck and free running coulda been a messy mix *He shrugs it off again*

Lawrence Castlewaye: He smiles, ever so faintly "Who is Abbey's pater, then?"

Alice Newcomb: Turns a pleading look on Matt hoping he won't mention her verbal attack on Baldilocks.

Matt Savage: *Nods a little* She gave as good as she got.

Alice Newcomb: "I wrecked my motorcyle probably because of her." Scowling.

Matt Savage: *Winces a little as he looks to Alice* Ya okay?

Alice Newcomb: Nods at Matt. "Just some scratches."

Matt Savage: *Smiles gently at her* Good.

Kelton Michaels: "I will handle the situation, Lawrence." He says it smoothly. "Obviously, responsibly use of magic is something that her teaching is seriously lacking in. I shall impress upon her pater and her both the need for such."

Ishachus Lucias Sabina: He grunts. "Good luck. Sir," he adds.

Lawrence Castlewaye: "As you wish, Deacon." Then turning to Alice "What else, Alice?"

Alice Newcomb: *Peeks inside her shirt to make sure the snake is all right.*

Alice Newcomb: Looks up quickly at Law. "Huh? What else what?"

Lawrence Castlewaye: "What else has been happening?"

Kelton Michaels: The snake is still frozen. He nods to Lawrence, and looks to Alice. "Alice, I would like to scan you to ensure you are quite all right."

Ishachus Lucias Sabina: He scowls at Law.

Alice Newcomb: "Oookay," she says a little uncertainly.

Matt Savage: *Steps over quickly to put a hand on her shoulder* It's okay sweetie. Just trying to help *Then he steps back so not to effect the scan*

Alice Newcomb: Law> "Just... normal stuff. My parents are kind of mad at me right now, cuz I'm hardly ever home. Dad might not get me the apartment." Glancing at Matt.

Matt Savage: *Nods a little* We'll sort something out *He murmurs*

Kelton Michaels: He stands up, grabbing his cane, and limps around the desk, coming up to Alice and smiling. "Relax, Alice. This will not be painful."

Alice Newcomb: Nods, scoot back a little further in her chair and tilts her head back, pale blue eyes focused on Kelton.

Ishachus Lucias Sabina: "If anyone had risked the life of my Apprentice, and of Sleepers, for such a foolish, selfish action, I would kill them. You, however, Tytalus, I would at least expect Certamen in defence of your Apprentice." He turns on his heel and stalks out, leaving Matt to his own devices.

Ishachus Lucias Sabina: ((Sorry for the one-post exit. Can't wait any longer for MC to post. Really have to go to bed *hugs*))

Lawrence Castlewaye: He smiles a touch after Ishachus, and glances to the Deacon "He has a point. And believe me, after this is done and my apprentice safe, I wish to discuss this. My first concern, though, is Alice"

Kelton Michaels: He turns, opening a small box on this desk, and dips his finger inside. It comes out grey, covered in ash. He begins tracing an intricate pentacle in the air in front of Alice's face. Once he's done with the first pentacle, he starts on another one, oriented slightly different, tracings different as well. Then, a third one.

Alice Newcomb: Her eyes slip towards Ish then back to Law, before going up again to watch what Kelton is doing.

Alice Newcomb: Turns her head watching Kelton draw in the air.

Alice Newcomb: ((Night Troo))

Matt Savage: *Nods a little as he watches, still shifting his weight around, unable to stop moving at the best of times, let alone when nervous*

Kelton Michaels: He doesn't respond to Lawrence initially, focusing on working his Arts. ((Life/Spirit/Mind Scan on alice; spending 2 Quit, and 1 WP))

Alice Newcomb: "You said I wasn't crazy," she whispers up to Kelton, sounding worried.

Kelton Michaels: 3,5,8,10,2,

Alice Newcomb -> Kelton Michaels: She has all sorts of chemicals in her system, antipsychotic drugs, lithium, things that take weeks flush normally. Her brain chemistry is totally screwed. She's having delusions brought on by withdrawal primarily from risperidone.

Kelton Michaels -> Alice Newcomb: ((5 succ; 1 to affect another pattern, so 4 to scan her Mind, Life, and Spirit Patterns. I assume he finds her withdrawal, and how it's affecting her mind? :) ))

Kelton Michaels -> Alice Newcomb: ((Got it.))

Kelton Michaels: ((Per+Aware, of course))

Alice Newcomb -> Kelton Michaels: ((Sorry that should have been Clozapine, not riperidone.))

Lawrence Castlewaye: 4,3,7,3,

Alice Newcomb: 10,10,3,8,5,2,10,6,

Alice Newcomb: It's not like it isn't pretty obvious, who's doing the magic.

Alice Newcomb -> Kelton Michaels: ((oh, without matter, I guess he wouldn't detect the specific drug anyway, just her body's response to it.))

Kelton Michaels: ((Waiting on Awareness roll from Matt))

Alice Newcomb: ((Doesn't bother rerolling the 1's. *c* Damn the dice bot is luving on me tonight!))

Matt Savage: ((*chuckles* okay, but he's really happy to assume Kelton's doing magic))

Alice Newcomb: ((Err 10's))

Matt Savage: 3,4,7,

Kelton Michaels: ((yes, but you can conceivably pick up his Resonance, which will be useful later. *G*))

Kelton Michaels: ((Or not)) Again, Lawrence just feels Magic being worked somewhere...hmm, wonder where? Matt feels the same. Alice gets all the information; who, what he's doing, and again, the same Resonance.

Matt Savage: ((*grins* Not with three dice...))

Kelton Michaels: 6,5,2,6,2,7,

Kelton Michaels: A bit of a smile, as the effect fades. "You aren't insane, Alice. Your body is getting used to living without your medications, and it's having an expected adverse effect on you. This is fixable. It is not your sanity, merely a natural reaction to being off your drugs."

Matt Savage: *Blinks at that, then erupts into a broad smile as he nods his head firmly to himself*

Lawrence Castlewaye: He nods, satisfied "With your permission, Deacon, I'll make sure the effects end soon - nothing strange, simply physical exertion to speed her metabolism" Then a glance to Alice "If your father does refuse to buy you the apartment, it might be for the best. I will offer you a room above the Fencing School, to be nearer to your schoolwork."

Alice Newcomb: "My parents said if I failed another blood test, they'd send me back to the hospital."

Matt Savage: *Quirks an eyebrow slightly at Lawrence at that offer, his lips quirking a touch*

Alice Newcomb: Doh! He'd be watching her all the time! It'll be like living at home!

Matt Savage: *Shrugs* You can crash in my spare room when ya need anyway Alice.

Alice Newcomb: "Thanks Matt."

Kelton Michaels: A look to Lawrence. "I can always simply flush the drugs from her system. The withdrawals will be more difficult...but if done properly, that can be fixed, as well."

Lawrence Castlewaye: He taps his lips, and smiles slightly "You know the stance of Tytalus on the easy road, Deacon. I'm sure Alice will cope. How long would the withdrawl last?"

Alice Newcomb: Looks uncomfortable at the thought of being 'flushed'.

Kelton Michaels: "I would have to know the drug that is causing it, specifically, and find out, to answer that. I don't imagine withdrawals that cause delusions are something we want to do anything but resolve as quickly as possible, though."

Matt Savage: *Nods a little to himself* Ummm so would you like me to go now? *He asks quietly* As you got it all under control?

Lawrence Castlewaye: "I'd like a word later, please" Holding a finger to Savage, then a nod to Kelton "As you wish, Deacon. Alice, the name of the drug?"

Alice Newcomb: "I was taking lithium, clozapine, venlafaxine, risperidone and diazepam."

Matt Savage: *Shrugs a little* Yeah that Ice guy has my number

Alice Newcomb: They apparently thought she was a pretty serious case with that heavy a drug load.

Kelton Michaels: 8,6,7,7,8,2,

Alice Newcomb: ((Wooo! Go Kelton!))

Kelton Michaels: The good natured Deacon actually scowls at the mention of the drugs. "It's surely the risperidone. I would have a discussion with your doctor, if circumstances were different. It's not even established to be safe to use on those under 18. And under no circumstances should clozapine be used in combination with Lithium. Not to mention the Valium..." He stares at Alice, furious...not with her, but with her doctor. "Is the idiot trying to kill you?"

Kelton Michaels: Apprarently, the good Deacon has some experience with prescription drugs.

Alice Newcomb: Blinks up at Kelton. "I don't know," she whispers.

Matt Savage: ((I'm gonna have to vanish soon, gone 02:30 and I have work ;) evil thing ))

Alice Newcomb: ((Alice will give Law Matt's phone number))

Kelton Michaels: "You have potential to launch a serious malpractice lawsuit against your doctor, Alice. Under no circumstances are you to continue taking your medications. I will speak to your parents myself about it." He leans heavily on his cane, anger alone keeping him from wincing in pain. He's been standing for far too long, but he doesn't seem to recognize it. His eyes turn to Lawrence. "We will divest the drugs from her system immediately."

Lawrence Castlewaye: He nods slightly, standing "Then I'll leave you to it, Deacon. Alice, come and speak with me later" Holding the library book "I've a few forms to read on, concerning this latest event. Good day" A nod to all, and the door.

Matt Savage: *Shrugs a little, then nods* Thank you all for helping her *He says to the room in general then moves to Alice and crouches* Take care okay. I'll see ya soon

Alice Newcomb: Her eyes go wide when he says he's going to speak with her parents. "They don't know about... us..."

Alice Newcomb: She gives Matt a quick hug and whispers, "I'll call you."

Alice Newcomb: Nods to Law. "I will."

Matt Savage: *Hugs her back and nods* I'll always find ya *Then he stands and departs quickly*

Matt Savage: ((Thanks for the RP all))

Alice Newcomb: ((Good night Matt-p))

Kelton Michaels: His expression softens a little. "Alice, I am a scientist, with a Doctorate and teaching degree from Harvard. I taught there for many years. I can speak to your parents without causing you difficulty."

Alice Newcomb: Nods, but she still looks worried.

Kelton Michaels: ((And I have to go, so you mind if I summarize the flushing of the drugs in her system?))

Alice Newcomb: ((Summarizing is fine))

Kelton Michaels: ((He does a Life 3/Matter 2 effect to make her body flush out the drugs in her system. Enochian to lower difficulty; 2 Quint spend to make sure maximum lowest diff. 5 rolls))

Kelton Michaels: 4,7,6,10,5,2,

Kelton Michaels: 8,9,9,2,9,

Kelton Michaels: 3,7,7,9,3,

Kelton Michaels: 6,1,2,5,7,

Kelton Michaels: 2,3,1,6,2,

Kelton Michaels: ((Last roll, +1 diff))

Kelton Michaels: 8,1,8,5,6,

Kelton Michaels: ((So, with 12 successes, that's more then enough to flush them; the extra successes make it completely painless for her. *S*))

Alice Newcomb: She sweats and vomits through the entire ritual. Law no doubt would be pleased to learn it was an unpleasant experience.

Alice Newcomb: ((Ohh... dlp the discomfort post then. *L* Law will be disappointed.))

Alice Newcomb: The hardest thing was holding her bladder through the entire process. It wasn't so bad. But she feels really weird afterwards. It's been 4 years since she's been 'clean'.

Kelton Michaels: And then, he sends her off to get some rest. And goes to get some himself. :)

Alice Newcomb: Puts the snake back in its box in her room, where it will no doubt escape again.

Alice Newcomb: ((Thanks for the fun, nighty night.

Kelton Michaels: ((Night, hon. *Hugs*))
