Magician's Operation for Magic and Maladies

Spook looked up at the adviser and blinked. An image of a young, middle-eastern man appeared in the minds of those gathered nearby, accompanied by a heavily-accented voice. <My name is Felitz, but you may call me Spook now. My favorite hobby was playing football, but now I no longer have the energy for it. I am here at the hospital because of a magical accident caused by my former employer.> The young man in the mental image changed into Spook's form now, a plump, black cat with amber eyes, then disappeared from view.

Spook started at the sudden voice from the entrance to the room. He was usually aware when people approached, but the room had a quiet, drowsy feel, much like a library, and it seemed he had dozed off. As the teacher, or so he assumed, made his way to the front of the room, Spook looked back at the other newcomers. Most people would be somewhat surprised to see a living puppet, but it certainly wasn't the strangest thing Spook had seen in this hospital. The cat was more interested in the human girl with the blindfold. She moved strangely, advancing only when someone was speaking. Perhaps some form of echolocation, but without the clicking noise bats and dolphins made. He leapt lightly down from the windowsill and crossed to a chair on the front row. He didn't want to get in trouble with their new teacher. Not yet, anyway.

Sorry, guys. The power's been out since Saturday, and looks to be down for at least a few more days. My posts will be sporadic at best.

Do you need me to post something, or are we waiting for arowne?

Spook was enjoying himself here at the hospital. His malady was less painful than most, and he received a large amount of extra attention from the staff and nurses. He was given a small room with a large window and a soft carpet to nap on, and there was always plenty to eat. It was almost better than at home. There was not much information available about the new NEST program. At least, none of the staff he often communicated with knew what it was. He was slightly curious about it, and today would be the day to find out. The summonses arrived in the form of a fancy invitation, handwritten by what appeared to be a fountain pen. The stationery smelled slightly of lavender and old leather, with a hint of something that made Spook's stomach crawl. He made his way to room A3-214 in his usual roundabout way, stopping every 20 feet or so to visit a nurse or patient. He wasn't worried about getting sick; one of the benefits of working for a magician is amazing health coverage. Spook was immune to most of the common physical diseases, and he was in a hospital, in case something more serious did affect him. The room, once he arrived, was empty. The few tables and chairs seemed to be haphazardly spread across the room, with their only organization in that they were mostly contained to the left side of the room. There was plenty of open space on the right half, Spook assumed that would be used for activities in the future. As he made his way to the front of the room, he noted the lack of wear on the chairs and tables. A large whiteboard at the front of the room gave him a greeting in blue letters. It politely asked him to take a seat and wait for their mysterious host, as well as to avoid trouble with the other students. Not deigning to sit in one of the provided chairs, Spook jumped lightly onto a windowsill near the front of the room to wait in the sunlight.

Thank you. When do we start?

Magician's Operation for Magic and Maladies

Appearance: Name: Spook (Felitz) Age: 24 Species: Familiar Ability(-s): Telepathy: Lacking the ability to verbally communicate with humans, familiars use telepathy to send images, feelings, or in some cases even direct language to others around them. Transformation: Felitz had the ability to transform from his human form to that of a cat. Mystic Focus: Familiars are used to focus the energy of a witch, magician, wizard, etc. when performing spells. A familiar typically lacks any kind of magical energy themselves, but can help control and strengthen the spells cast by someone else. Personality: Felitz is very cautious, and doesn't trust strangers. It is difficult for him to form a bond with someone he has recently met, and even then will only share information he feels is relevant. He prefers to stay on the sidelines during a competition or fight, and will sacrifice gory and recognition in exchange for anonymity. Malady: Irrevocably transformed into his alternate self. Applicable Bio: Felitz grew up as the 6th son of a well-off businessman, and was the odd one out among his brothers. When they were participating in an activity, Felitz would always be the one keeping score or holding the camera. When he was old enough to leave home, he apprenticed to an elderly magician living in the area. They worked well together, and Felitz found that he liked and trusted the old man. The young man agreed to be the magician's familiar; a companion to help focus the magician's power. However, after a spell misfired and trapped Felitz in his familiar form, the magician skipped town, leaving the problem unsolved.

This sounds interesting. Let me know if it advances beyond an interest check.
