Joy of joys

Well, we've got at least some basic info about our new charge after a night of testing. She's seemingly an electrokinetic, capable of both projection and, interestingly, absorption and storage. Yes, like a battery. Possibly it's even uncontrolled absorption, although it will take more extensive testing and practice to be sure.

The really fun bit, though, is that this little hellion's apparently been attempting to control her mutation through self medication. Scott, your shoes died as a result of what would probably be an overdose of sleeping pills in anyone else combined with alcohol, and her blood work came back showing remnants of some nastier stuff yet. It's hard to tell, though, since needing "fairly extensive help with her English" doesn't even cover it, near as I can tell. We'll have to do placement tests, but given her level of spoken English I suspect she's also functionally illiterate,

Amelia and I are going to be keeping her down here for at least a week, possibly longer to help with what I can only assume is going to be some nasty withdrawal and to do some more testing about her powers - if she's entirely lacking in control we may need to come up with a solution similar to Alex's power containment suit.

The only highlight I've got is that there's no real reason to keep her from having visitors, and getting her exposed to her new peers is the best way to help with the language problem right now, I think. Somebody want to make a post out where the kids can see it, inviting them to come meet their new classmate?
