[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.

[ Raven watches Charles smile and she shakes her head for a moment. It's exhausting but wonderful at the same time - this is her and Charles, this is how things had been before, and it feels comfortable for a moment. It makes her feel a little more at home. ]

I'm glad to see you have some confidence.

[ She's not going to give in or suggest that Charles could possibly understand what she has seen or experienced; they're from two very different worlds now. She's not the little girl that had been tucked under his wing anymore; she's grown up, she's stronger, she's a little bit better. ]

I'll do my best. I'll see what they want here, and if it's the same as they want back in Westchester then...

[ She shrugs. ]
