I’m having some adjustments made to her nexus, since she clearly needs more practice with light leaping!
INCIDENT: Checkup House Call to Havenfield
DETAILS:
Apparently Sophie leaped home from the Forbidden Cities with her consciousness wrapped around an alicorn (of course she did), and Grady wanted to make sure she’s okay.
SYMPTOMS/INJURIES:
Sophie claimed she was fine—and her tests seemed normal. But I get the feeling she’s hiding something from me. She also clearly hasn’t been sleeping.
TREATMENT:
None. I tried to convince her to take a mild sedative before bed or drink some slumberberry tea, but she refused.
NOTES:
I understand her aversion to sedatives after what she went through—but she seriously needs some sleep. Wish I could think of something to suggest…
INCIDENT: Emergency House Call to Everglen
DETAILS:
Sophie and Alden were sent to by the Council, and things did not go well.
SYMPTOMS/INJURIES:
Sophie faded again during the leap home—while wearing a nexus (!!!). Thankfully, it wasn’t as severe this time—but it still worries me. She also had burns on her hands, and a few bruises and scrapes. And she admitted that she’s been getting headaches (which she should’ve told me about earlier!). But she seemed more worried about Alden.
TREATMENT:
More of my special limbium-free Fade Fuel. I also treated her burns with a bottle of Youth, some balms, and a silk wrap. And I recommended weekly checkups for all of the other symptoms she’s apparently been hiding. We’ll see if she cooperates.
NOTES:
I’m making her wear an extra nexus, since I have no idea what’s going on.
ADDITIONAL NOTES:
Given where Sophie was, I can’t say I’m surprised that the Council made me edit this record. But I’m also going to add that they were irresponsible for sending an innocent kid (who’s been through enough) to a horrible place like that!
INCIDENT: Emergency House Call to Everglen
DETAILS:
Alden’s mind is… I can’t bring myself to write it yet.
SYMPTOMS/INJURIES:
Sophie looked like she was about to have an emotional meltdown.
TREATMENT:
Gave her a mood enhancer—a pretty strong one.
NOTES:
I would’ve given her a sedative for later, but she’s still very against them.
INCIDENT: Fourth Healing Center Visit
DETAILS:
Sophie came here on her lunch break—and it wasn’t even an emergency!
SYMPTOMS/INJURIES:
Sore muscles from alicorn riding, plus exhaustion.
TREATMENT:
Gave her some Achey-Break for the pain, and decided to check her mind for guilt—which knocked her unconscious (should’ve known a Sophie visit wouldn’t be easy). Nothing looked wrong in my tests, so I gave her a broad-range elixir and made her stay with me for the rest of school so I could monitor.
NOTES:
I’m feeling a little bad for hanging her picture and joking about calling this the “Foster Center.” She is holding the record for near-death experiences, but… I think she’s really struggling with what happened to Alden. (And I can’t blame her for that.) I also think she’s more worried about the headaches than she’s admitting. I just don’t understand why my tests don’t show anything wrong.
INCIDENT: Fifth Healing Center Visit
DETAILS:
Sophie’s inflicting session with Councillor Bronte didn’t go as planned (or that’s what Bronte told me to write—I get the feeling this was exactly what he wanted to happen. And he’s lucky I didn’t punch him in the mouth!).
SYMPTOMS/INJURIES:
Sophie claimed she felt fine, since Grady gave her an elixir the Dizznees made for her. (I’ll have to find out what they put in it.) But Master Leto and Sandor wanted me to check her.
TREATMENT:
Made her drink a bottle of Youth and gave her a broad-range elixir. Wish I could do more, but her tests still look normal.
NOTES:
I wanted her to stay and get some rest for her lunch break, but Keefe was there, and we ended up telling him about Alden so… that was rough.
INCIDENT: Emergency House Call to Havenfield
DETAILS:
Turns out alicorns can teleport—and I would laugh about how today’s adventure is something that would only happen to Sophie, but Sophie had to light leap Silveny home, and…
SYMPTOMS/INJURIES:
SHE FADED. AGAIN! WITH TWO NEXUSES—AND REALLY STRONG CONCENTRATION.
TREATMENT:
She took more of my limbium-free Fade Fuel. But I still can’t find anything wrong, so I also gave her a vial to wear (she’s getting quite the necklace collection…) and told her to take a dose every time she leaps, no matter what.
NOTES:
I DON’T UNDERSTAND WHAT’S GOING ON!!
INCIDENT: Sixth Healing Center Visit
DETAILS:
The Hall of Illumination isn’t exactly a dangerous place, but leave it to Sophie to still end up unconscious.
SYMPTOMS/INJURIES:
Couldn’t find anything physically wrong, but since the mirror that knocked Sophie out was the Lodestar, I tried flashing light in her eyes, and… now we know what the problem is. (Sorta…) She said the light felt like it was
