How do I wind up doing this?

So I have a new "duckling". How do I do this to myself? Oh, wait, it was like kicking a puppy to turn the kid down.

Okay, something more coherent. There will be a newbie coming to the mansion during the next week, once his papers get sorted out. For those of us who were there during Frankenberry Cat time, it's a new Julio Richter. Makes earthquakes. This one is a lot more... earnest? He was raised thinking he had magic, but hey, it turns out it's a mutant power, so he's coming here for training. Enjoy.

I'd apologise for being a bit flaky right now, but I just channelled a whole lot of magic out of a dozen bruja and into Topaz, so I won't.
