Is this thing- [The feed starts to show a teenage girl staring down at the feed. Her bottom lip is between her teeth, before she lets out a little huff, sending strands of white and brown hair fluttering away from her face.] Okay. [A slight drawl to that, as a gloved hand pushes her hair back behind her ear.] I've seen and heard some crazy things, but Ah gotta admit, this? I think this takes the blue ribbon.

[Not to mention the fact that she still feels like she wants to puke her guts out.] Ah get what was said by those people that I spoke with. I'm not stupid, but... Well, I mean, it's a bit hard to accept this. That guide- [The tone of her voice really says it all about the guide. But, if what it says is true... It is a lot to take in, and a lot that really doesn't seem right or real.

Of course that leads to a lot of other questions, such as who, and why, and how.] Is it true though? Any of it? Twin planets and space travel- We ain't even gone beyond the moon yet!

[And that part she hesitates on.] Or, or is this just someone's idea of a stupid joke. [A stupid joke.] 'cause it's not funny, if it is.

But Ah guess I should say hello, 'cause I'm here for now, wherever here actually is. Name's Rogue. And, don't suppose anyone knows of Xavier's Institute...?

I assume people who know these things are working on it.

[Because Rogue's got high school level academics, and that didn't include anything aout space travel.]

They are. The rest of us will just have to live until they figure it out.

Guess that makes sense... Anything pressing I should know? You know, don't drink the water, or beware the feral dogs...

[culver]

I think the water is okay and I have not seen any feral dogs.
They just really want us all to have jobs.

That's... [A little strange? Or is it?] Better than being locked in jail for being an illegal alien.

Why would be be illegal? They're the ones who brought us here.

Most places you gotta apply for a passport or something. A green card... Can't say I did anything like that.

[Although a look of mirth does cross her face.]

[culver]

Neither did I. I have never heard of that kind of thing though.

[justonetouch]

We learned about it in school, although that was a few years ago.

What was going to school like?

Oh. [It's been so long since she was in the one she was thinking about...] I didn't end up at Xavier's until I was a teen. Before that, it was kinda... boring? I mean, there were some cool things to learn, and Ah had friends. I liked art class, and literature wasn't bad, save they made you write these essays or memorize poems. Lookin' back on it, I do appreciate it more than I did when I was in it.

[When she was normal...] Xavier's... [Her lips twitch.] It was something else.

[culver]

Because he teaches people how to use their powers?

[justonetouch]

That... But it's not just that. It- I guess you can say it is a place where you feel accepted, no matter what you are.

That sounds nice.

[justonetouch]

It is, an' I am eternally grateful for the Professor.
