[ The video comes to life with awkward fiddling, catching glimpses of a dimly lit bedroom and what looks like blank canvases leaning against a paled, paneled wall before she gets her omni set where she'd like. She steps into view and takes a seat on the floor, close enough to the camera to make out the bags beneath her eyes. She fidgets, suddenly unsure of what she's even doing. ]
Last month, right? That was fun. [ Her grin is more of a grimace and she rolls her eyes to emphasize the sarcasm that drips from her lips. It had not been fun, not one lick, but it had been painfully eye-opening. She licks her lips. ] Made me realize some things, though. Namely that I need a teacher of some sort, specifically for... [ She hesitates. She's not sure what to call them because she's never given them a label before. ] Psychic powers, I guess?
It’s not blood-related or anything. It’s complicated and personal but I’ve always had them. I just couldn’t use them. [ To put it very, very simply. ] And when I say psychic powers I’m talking telekinesis and prophetic nightmares. Things like that. [ There's more but those are harder to say out loud. ]
I don’t have much control over them. [ In a lot of ways, she’s scared of them. They’re not the reason Alessa was brought to the attention of the Order, that was just her birth and Dahlia's refusal to name a father, but they’d made it so much worse. ] I don’t really use them consciously. They just. Happen. Usually when I’m afraid or angry or overwhelmed. [ Which seems like it's going to happen a lot here. ]
And I need control over them. Not just because they’d be useful but so I don’t hurt someone on accident. [ It's so she can hurt people on purpose.
She leans forward to turn off the video but seems to realize something and adds: ] Oh, and my name's Sharon Da Silva. If there's someone that can help, I'd... really appreciate it.
[ And off the feed goes. ]

I'm not a psychic and my power wasn't something that I was born with, but I think I can help you channel it. I've sort of spent most of my life studying magic tied with prophetic visions and greater awareness and learning how to control it or even manipulate it, so... I don't know, if you're looking for greater control over your powers I can show you some of the practices that helped me.
Plus blood magic might be able to help.

Hey, Adaine. I'd like that. I'm kind of open to trying everything right now. If it doesn't help, well... [ She shrugs her shoulders. ] I'm not really out anything.
But this is a good chance for me to learn how other people deal with their powers. [ Even if it doesn't help, she might be able to adopt some of the practices with adjustment to fit her needs. ]

I can meet you over at the School of Mutter? That's generally where I stay. That or the orphanage. There's facilities there for this kind of thing.
