[The video feed here is set up very much like he's filming an orientation video; he knows little else other than strict formality here, but...when it comes to his school, he would say he finds the professionalism appropriate.]
The purpose for this is twofold, so I suppose I'll just get started.
Over the last few weeks of getting settled into this environment, learning its...well "intricacies" is a small word for it, perhaps eccentricities is better, I believe now more than ever that we need some tangible return to normalcy. I would like to have the school-- [and with the video feed he links something that looks very much like an old-school brochure, (which will very much omit the whole "subbasement" part of the post (and is not icly-literal).).] --up and running within the month. We have the faculties and facilities for a number of traditional subjects: literature, biology, philosophy, physical education [though it might sound like he means something very different by this] and a few other outliers, but we are still very much in need of some help in the history and mathematics departments. (Though I'll take more esoteric lessons under advisement).
[He pauses then, and his demeanor shifts entirely, shifting from cold to amiably warm like he's flipped a switch.]
As for the second point, and no less salient: it is my understanding that I am not the only one of my kind here, and that we are not, perhaps, the only ones particularly gifted. For those of you who may not identify as mutants, I would love the opportunity to speak with you about the nature of your powers.
[He pauses to consider that request for a moment, and follows up with an addendum:]
If any of you are comfortable doing so.

[ And then after a pause: ] In any case, I agree. There's too much here we're all unaware of in some capacity, I believe. It's always something.
no subject
Mm, it's impossible to be prepared if you don't know the rules. Sciences, I think, dictate the 'rules' of a particular place, maybe moreso than politics. And the arts... well, they tell you something about the heart and soul of it.
no subject
But I couldn't agree more. Politics are only as useful as understanding all sides of them, but those "rules" are...well, a different sort of important, I suppose, but they don't matter much in the face of lacking physics.
no subject
[But she laughs at the image of politicians arguing while floating in zero gravity, because that's the first thing that comes to mind after that statement.] It's true. A meteor doesn't care how persuasive you are-- but that's not to say it doesn't have its value. Persuasion, I mean.

[There is a healthy amount of sarcasm there, of course. And for a moment Elizabeth actually feels... comfortable?]
So. Is this the interview, or are you expecting something a little more formal from me later on?
no subject
(And if that bites him later, then so be it. Faith in people first.) ]
Unless, of course, you wanted a tedious, lengthy formal affair. Far be it from me to take that from you.
no subject
[Maybe she can love it again.]
I suppose I have to figure out how to be a teacher now.
no subject
OH MY GOD I'M SO SORRY, just discovered this already written tag I never hit post on WHUPS
I suppose I'm halfway there, then. I'm at least willing to do what I can.

[ It's ridiculous, of course. Absurd in the place of awkwardness, and he'll take all of that he can get too. ]
