[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.

no subject
They deserve more than I can give them, likely, but I'll settle for a good start.
no subject
[He doesn't want them to turn out to be violent soldiers in the service of some tyrant. That's what inevitably happens, in his experience.]
no subject
[ Charles, on the other hand, has never seen it in such explicit terms. Hardships unnumbered, yes. And memories of horrors that are unspeakable enough. But losing a class of young adults to Vietnam had been devastating enough. He can't imagine worse. He doesn't want to imagine worse. ]
