For anyone who found themselves on the receiving end of mysterious events that had no explanation, the cause was my Inmate, Merope Gaunt. She didn't harm anyone intentionally. I had the Admiral return her magic to her as a necessary step on her path to graduation, and I didn't anticipate the control problems that would follow. My apologies to anyone who was injured. If you have issues, problems, or concerns, please take them up with me, as it was my decision to return her magic that ultimately lead to what happened. Her magic is now limited until she can learn how to control it.

[Filtered to Lua and Dracula, separately]

Merope informed me that she used a Memory Charm on you. You were her friend, and she panicked. She didn't want you to remember what was happening. I don't know what the extent of the damage was, because Merope was not in control of her magic at the time the charm was cast. If you're forgetting things, this is the reason. I'm sorry that this happened before I figured out what was going on.

[Filtered to Amanda and Narvin, together]

Merope has informed me that she performed a Memory Charm on your Inmates. She wanted to make them forget, because they were her friends and she couldn't stop what was happening. Uncontrolled Memory Charms have very little chance of being reversed. I wouldn't even try to do so, because the risk of doing more damage is far greater than the chance of a successful reversal. I've informed Lua and Dracula. If there's anything more you want me to do, please let me know.

How can you be certain it was her? Mysterious events that have no explanation happen quite frequently here.

For instance: I constantly find myself beginning the washing with a pair of socks, and completing it with only a single sock. And there's simply nowhere they could have gone to.

She intentionally fucked with my inmate's mind and there's no way to fix it?

That's worse than death. Having memories stolen is worse than death and you're being this goddamn calm about it?! Don't you give a fuck about what she did to Lua, or are you just that fuckin' willing to coddle the bitch you've been assigned to?!

Do something to punish her, or I'll kill the stupid cunt!

...oh.

This may sound incredibly strange, but I think I owe her thanks. The memories I lost were burdensome to me to a great extreme.

Certainly I am not angry at her; she was clearly having some kind of attack. But I'm...a bit worried. She is so timid normally. I do not want her thinking that I am angry with her and fleeing me.

I'd like to offer my assistance in helping her learn control. I've had students with similar issues before, and had a fair share of my own, back when my mutant ability began developing.

I had noticed my inmate showing signs of memory alteration. When I suggested that it might be possible to reverse it with time and expert psychic help, he seemed utterly uninterested in the prospect. Luckily she picked a rare person who appears not to feel violated by such mental tampering.

Do keep your inmate out of other people's minds from now on.

...that explains it. She'd seemed so worried around me, and I didn't know why. I'd found her but I thought it was her first day or something and that's why she was so scared and angry.

Accidents happen. You didn't know this would happen.

Is it possible that the pink TARDIS is her doing?

[He's more curious than upset, as he's almost gotten used to it.]

Control problems.

[strangehistorian]

Events without explanation are very common here, I think

How do we start?
