[ The A.C.E. camera feed is set up so that when it flickers to life--best effort converted technology that it is--it's a steady front-on angle. This is #seriousstuff, he doesn't want this to be construed any other way. ]

First off, I believe I need to extend an apology to all of you for having been somewhat lacking in faculty at being faculty. Excuses be what they may--and I know the past several months have been a distraction, to say the least--I recognize that they do only extend so far.

That all said, with some very enthusiastic support, I think we may just be ready to get this school on its feet properly.

And yes, kids, I did say school.

[ It's said with a smile, but he knows the excuses are coming. Better to cut that off at the quick, right? ]

To those of you who expressed interest previously, please consider this your formal follow-up invitation. We need all the help we can get.


[ ooc: There is an ATTACHMENT to the video post. This spreadsheet should include separate pages for classes, student sign-ups, and clubs (if you're inclined to extra-curriculars). Feel free to slot yourself in how you want, add a new line if you want to double up on a subject/deal with a variant of, or add a subject I missed.

ooc, p.s.: I will have a school mingle log to condense top-levels/log posts/etc. up later this week. ]

Not as much as you may think, Kurt. Every choice you make changes something, small as it may be.

Well, when put into that sense ... I meant there aren't any mutants that can go around changing timelines.

At least, not any I've met? [Yeah, because that's what they really need here.]

[welcomeprofessor]

Again, I think you might be surprised.

[ After all: Logan exists. Unless that really had been as fake as it had sounded, once upon a time. ]

In any case, I think it's high time we worried about what we can do, rather than the hypothetical, hm?

[ They'll cross the bridge of "literal time manipulation" as mutation if they come to it. Right now, he has different priorities. ]

[shadowblends]

[His dark brow furrows, blue lips pursing in thought.] Do you know of such a mutant, Professor?

[Because if so, he'd like to hear about it.]

True ... [The curiosity might kill him by then. Not really, but you know.] I suppose I can be patient. Until we discuss such a topic, ja, let's focus on that instead.

[welcomeprofessor]

A mutation?

[ He pauses to think back on that with the ghost of a laugh. ]

No, not quite. Do I know of a mutant who's managed it? Different story entirely.

[shadowblends]

[There's a brief moment of silence. If the ACE had been on video, Charles would've been able to see him gaping like a fish out of water, but that's not the case.

He clears his throat.] Sounds like a story I'll have to ask about one of these days.

Before I forget, are there any classes that might need teacher's aids?

[welcomeprofessor]

None of mine at present, though I suppose it couldn't hurt to ask around. I'll let you know, Kurt, thank you for the offer.

[shadowblends]

You're welcome, Professor. Keep me updated!
