[video+]

[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.

Oh, believe me. Back home I was much more the odd one out when I was just getting by on my brain and technology.

[She pauses, head tipping curiously.]

Are you finding a lot of powered people here, then?
modelsixtythree: (ready)

How so? If you don't mind my asking.

[She can't quite fight back a soft laugh at that.]

Yeah, I get it. There's a lot out there that feels like it should make sense within a rational framework but just...doesn't. I wish I could say you get used to it. Maybe you just stop being surprised.
modelsixtythree: (fascinating tell me more)

I don't know about that. [Her smile is wry but genuine.] It's possible to expect the worst and still want to make things better.
