Foley as soon as she and Maddy arrive in his office and the door is closed and locked.<br/><br/>A quick briefing later, Dr. Balthazar opens a cabinet and fetches a large, oddly-faceted black tourmaline, which he places on a golden stand on his desk. He beckons Maddy and Rev. Foley to pull up chairs so that all three of them can touch the stone at the same time. "Link us," he says to Rev. Foley.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Assuming Maddy allows Rev. Foley to link with her empathically</div><div class="spoiler_body">It seems the stone isn't magical in itself; it's more like an authentication device. The combination of a spell that only Dr. Balthazar knows, and possession of the stone, allows one to override the wards on the school building. Rev. Foley and Maddy can sense every psychic presence in the school.<br/><br/>Min-joon is in the east dorm tower, probably in his own room. His aura is in turmoil, madly flickering with colors of aggression, anxiety, fear and pain, and riven with jagged black spikes emanating from some dark nucleus inside Min-joon's mind and soul. Maddy can feel the perplexity of both Rev. Foley and Dr. Balthazar at the sight; neither of them has ever seen anything like this. The three psychics can see four other powerful presences approaching Min-joon: Maple, William and Morgan from one direction, Ken from the other.<br/><br/>Boosted by the two adults, Maddy could easily reach out and touch any of the people she sees, opening a psychic contact. Of course, they aren't expecting one, and a conflict might result—especially with William, who isn't in Advanced Spirituality and is less likely than the others to recognize the "feel" of Maddy's and Rev. Foley's minds.<br/><br/>She could also reach out and touch Min-joon. Rev. Foley and Dr. Balthazar are both readying magical and psychic wards against whatever it is that's inhabiting and/or empowering Min-joon. With them protecting her, she could probably mind-wrestle with him with some degree of safety. It would be good to have a specific objective in mind before doing so, of course.</div></div><br class="clear"/><hr/><br/><div class="floatleft">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/a/ac/ParkMin-joon1.png)</div><strong>Character:</strong>Park Min-joon<br/><strong>Who:</strong>Maple, William, Morgan, Ken<br/><strong>Where:</strong>Outside 908 East Tower (Min-joon's dorm room)<br/><strong>When:</strong>Start of 4th Arrangement<br/><strong>Wearing:</strong>As pictured<br/><hr/>Ken arrives from the north at the same time that Maple, Morgan and William arrive from the south.
