In the club

[x-celsis.livejournal.com]

Fellow staff, I thought I'd better inform you; there's going to be a little induction ceremony for the Hellfire Club at Selene's place upstate on the weekend. Shinobi and Manuel will both be exercising their familial rights to membership at this ceremony, and in order to keep them on the straight and narrow, they'll both be participating in my White Court, rather than in the Black Court of their fathers.

Some of you may have your reservations about the club, I'm sure, and I share your concerns, of course. It was a member of this club that destroyed my own school. It was another member who abducted me from my home and tortured and abused me. It is exactly because of men like these that I have chosen to remain with the club throughout this. That way, we can still play these people at their own games, and hopefully ensure that the Hellfire Club is no longer a threat.

If any of you have concerns, I'll be happy to discuss them with you, either here or in person. You should also know, a few members of the staff and the student body will be joining us at the party, though invitations are restricted. Shinobi and Manuel will both bring guests, as will I, and I'm working to secure a few extra invitations, so that a few more faculty can attend. Marie, your name was mentioned, and Jake, I thought you might like to accompany me for the evening.

It's not every day that you find a mutant with a physical explanation. Marie-Ange's test results finally finished before I left and when I got back Henry and I studied them.

We've come to the conclusion that while she sleeps, her brain goes through something very similar to an epilepsy attack and psychotic break in order to handle and transfer the visions. Essentially her brain turns to "mush".

She can channel it through tarot cards, currently, which result in migraines since she's forcing her powers.

I also discovered that an increase in saratonine makes the aftermath more bearable. Changing the brain chemestry seems to make it easier to receive and transmit the visions to where she can understand and comprehend them better.

I believe that given time and practise, her body will adapt. I do not believe she will ever go back to a normal sleeping habit again, but hopefully with time, she'll be able to derive her own schedule that makes her comfortable.

She danced, so I believe she was pleased with the end results. *grins*
