So, you may have already seen what Yvette posted about the whole "curse" thing- which incidentally I never believed in. But I've attached the video that Angel took of a kid from the South Salem School who can turn invisible and has been causing trouble on set. We caught him last night and we used some awesome teamwork in the process. I'll provide you with a full account of things if you want, but that's really not the point I'm trying to get at.

He, Joe, was never was out to harm anyone- or at least not intentionally- the pranks were just sort of meant to annoy, at least I think. In any event, we talked it over and I was wondering what you wanted to do about it. He's an okay kid- just a dorky, invisible perv who could use some support- and probably a good shrink too.

Sincerely,
-Julian Keller

Julian,

Congratulations on catching the gremlin. I would actually be quite interested in hearing the specifics once the play is wrapped and you and your classmates have the time.

As for Joe, it is not up to us to make any immediate decisions about the boy, and certainly not without first getting in touch with his parents and getting a better sense of the situation. I do agree that the idea of counseling should be brought up to him and his family -- invisibility seems a power that, by its nature, would encourage secrecy and a degree of isolation, not to mention incur an incredible amount of temptation. Leaving a teenager to find his own way to cope with such a mutation on his own would almost certainly mean trouble further down the line. Would it be possible for you to put Joe in contact with the school or point one of us in his direction?

Again, well done, both with this and the play itself. I am looking forward to tomorrow night.

Sincerely,
Jean-Paul Beaubier
