With a grim resolve, he turns away from both the window and the body and turns his attention to the throw rug on the floor. With a nonchalant kick, he pushes it aside, revealing a trap door

The eager young woman in front of her wants only to know if her upcoming marriage is fated to go well, a common enough question. Indeed, Madam Xanadu is pleased at what the cards tell her -- a long life for both, three children, and ... and ... nothing. They're just cards. There's nothing there.

The first thing Felix Faust notices is that his wards -- the ones that keep the Society from being detected by mystic forces -- are blinking out, one by one. The second thing he notices is that his circulation is slowing, and that he's short of breath. Desperately, he rushes from his bed to the mirror in the bathroom. What he sees is an old man's face staring back at him -- the man he'd be if he'd not used magic to ward off the years. Arthritis creeps into his hands and joints, and a sharp pain in his chest knocks him to the ground.

She was still shaken after the visit from The First when the disruption hit. It wasn't so much that she felt it...more like everything in Shadowcrest suddenly went nuts. Let's just say it was not a very safe place to be for that moment.

There's a little *phtt* sound, and Corrine Bertrand disappears.

It's some moments later when she returns, staring at her hands.

Erm.
