So, I'm off to Europe next week. There's a few issues right now on my past that I need to clear up, and I want to look closer into the death of Wisdom's father and a little box of poisoned bon-bons sent by Manuel's father. There's something too conveinant in the timing, and I want to do a little digging. If you need me, the normal cell/e-mail will be ready. I shouldn't be gone more than a few days.

Oh, Marie-Ange and Amanda helped save ten or twenty thousand lives in New Orleans last. Whatever mutant version of a gold star this place has should be given to them. Juyst a suggestion.

As soon as I find out who's fucking around with this e-mail, I swear. I know this thing you can do with piano wire, two mice, and a bottle of ginger beer...

I just got off the phone with Tante Mattie, the houghoun that helped you, Marie-Ange, back in November. She's called in a favour, and I'm leaving for New Orleans next week. When I spoke with her, so agreed to meet with you to try and work on the loa that's tainting your Sight. Even offered to teach you a little. Amanda, she's extended the same offer to you. Not for the Sight, but for your magic.

Now, a note of warning. We'll likely be down there for a couple of weeks. Tante Mattie is not the type of person to suffer fools gladly. If you go down there and waste her time, the response will not be pleasent. She's a stone cold bitch most of the time, and most people would rather cut off something important than cross her. If you both take her up on the offer, be ready to bite your tongues and duck your heads, if you want to keep them.

Let me know who I should say is coming.

Right, I know what's happened. Or at least what's happening. Bear with me on this.

Marie-Ange's spirit has been tainted by the loa of Sousson-Pannan. In voudon culture, the 'gods' are represented by their loa, which can travel the earth, and manifest either in someone, or seperately. Whether this sounds like merde or not, I have seen the magic work. According to Tante, Marie-Ange's spirit hasn't come all the way back, instead dancing with Baron Samedi, the god of sexual passions, revelery, and the cemetary. But her sight is coming through Sousson-Pannan.

In normal terms, I think it means that she's seen something that's knocked her Sight out of whack, and left it open. Sousson-Pannan represents death, petrufication, evil. Pretty nasty type. If her Sight has been effected by it, that might explain why she's not seeing anything but death.

I've... made a bargain with a houngan named Tante Mattie. She says that she can cleanse the taint. But this things always have a hidden cost, Nathan. Let me know what you want to do.

Marie-Ange is in the middle of a breakdown. There's nothing physically wrong with her that I can tell. Mind you, the idea of returning to the medical bay nearly caused her to rabbit out the window and leg it to another country. Apparently she's been seeing deaths on everyone. Horrible futures. She's hullucenating directly into her tarot cards.

For whatever reason, I don't seem to set her off. Guess the fact that I don't seem to have a future to pre-cogs is coming in handy. She screams everytime Cain comes up the stairs. Look, I'm going to keep her up in the boathouse until this can get figured out.

I'm sure everyone is going to have a nice big laugh at this, but I think she's been cursed. Seriously. I know a hougdoun back in New Orleans that is an expert on curses. Whatever we do, we better do it quick.
