Hi, Mr Xavier! How are you settling in? It’s Ellie of the Many Names.

I might have something for you that will help you get around town. My dad has a hover chair he isn’t using and I spoke to him to see if you could have it while you’re here. He said as long as you’re okay with it, he is. Just let me know!

Re: Text: 04/30 - evening

[greatswellofpity]

Hello, my darling! I'm settling in quite well, thank you for asking.

I'm afraid I don't quite follow. What is this hover chair?

[Yes, he knows what it sounds like, but he's from the Seventies. Humor him.]

Re: Text: 04/30 - evening

[onze]

Good! I’m glad.

It’s like your chair but it hovers. No wheels. Easier on steps.

Re: Text: 04/30 - evening

[greatswellofpity]

That's quite remarkable! I'd be quite curious to see this chair, if your father wouldn't be opposed.

This is an exceptionally generous offer on your part, Ellie. I can't thank you enough for this, darling.

[In the middle of this.]

Professor, do you have any kids, like actually your kids. Not... well you know what I mean.

Re: video -- 05/04

[greatswellofpity]

Yes, Alex, I understand what you mean—and the answer to the question is that no, I have never fathered any children that I am aware of.

Re: video -- 05/04

[actiii_scenei]

Thank you for the confirmation Professor!

Thanks again for finding me. And giving my dad that hug.

Too much magic or not enough? Hard to say. But this is definitely weird.

Jij bent het licht en ik zal volgen
Je laat me mijn schaduw verliezen
 Jij bent de zon
De gloeiende kroon
 En je blijft me verbranden met al je liefde
Jij bent de schittering in de duisternis van mijn wereld
Je neemt me mee, je bent de magie in mijn aderen
Dit moet liefde zijn

Everything beneath
The layer of ice
Lives still in cold water


XX.

It's already started,
This bad taste
The woods the woods the woods and then
These headaches


XXIII.

These new behaviors worry me
She'd kill us if she had the chance
Thirty boxes, made of bone
Flying through the crossroads
Landing on the fork
Between heaven and hell

Oh my God.

Where did these come from?

Re: 5/21

[intrinsicrandom]

I was working on some tech and this came out instead.

5/20

[acorning]

I am Groot? [Hi there Charles. Are you busy? Groot needs to talk to you about something.]

Re: 5/20

[greatswellofpity]

I’m never too busy for my favorite young artist.

What can I help you with, my boy?

[acorning]

I am Groot. [Knock knock. This is a conversation that he kind of wants to have face to face. It's important to him.

When he is let in, Groot will hop up into Charles's lap with another picture for him to hang up.]

I am Groot. [So this whole Black Door thing. It's got him worried. He was able to protect the smaller humans in the artificial wombs when there was a monster attack, but this is so much bigger. Scarier. He has people that he cares about that he wants to help protect. People like Charles. David, his Dad.

He stands up, puffing out his little chest.] I am Groot! [So it's time he grows! They're getting together what he needs, but it also means because he has to put down roots he's going to be stuck in one place for about a week and he doesn't want Charles to worry.]

I am Groot? [He also kind of hopes that he'll visit him?]

Video ;; 5/22

[urbosasfury]

Hello, Charles. My name is Urbosa. I was wondering if you'd be willing to let me teach a self defense course at the school. I understand it's not exactly a typical class, but with threats out there such as Black Door, I honestly would feel a bit better if I were able to instill at least basic self defense of my people in the people of town who would be willing, children included, of course.

[There's a soft smile]

If you'd like to meet in person to talk about this more, I'm free whenever you have the time, except for times where I need to join the team out for hunting.

Re: Video ;; 5/22

[greatswellofpity]

Pleasure to meet you, Urbosa! I do say, that's a splendid idea, but it is one that must be approached carefully.

Very briefly, could you tell me a bit about your background in combat training?

Re: Video ;; 5/22

[urbosasfury]

Most simply put, I’m the chieftain of my people back home. Fighting is part of our survival. I personally fight with a sword and shield, typically in the same garb I’m in at the moment.

[The more she thinks about it though...]

Hm. Sorry, explaining my specific combat training is a bit difficult. It’s easier to show... am I correct in thinking you can look into others minds?

[Thats an invitation, of course. She’s thinking about her training sessions, genuine combat, that time she called out evil ninjas before they could get the jump on her and Zelda, etc.]

[onze]

Do you mind accompanying me on another trip to the In Between? It's to contact my uncle, the guy leaving all those weird messages. I tried already and it went badly. But I think if you're there, it might go better.

Re: audio:

[greatswellofpity]

Of course, darling. Let me know when, and I'll be there. I've been wanting to speak to the man myself, Harry's told me a bit about him.

6/22 - video

[whatitfeelslike]

[Yeah yeah, he knows. Don't say it old friend.]

Tell me you're okay, because we really need you right now.

Re: 6/22 - video

[greatswellofpity]

[... not a word, old friend. Just a brief look of surprise, then worry before he focuses on the request at hand.]

Of course, Logan. I’m at the clinic right this moment, but I’ll do what I can—not to fret, I’m unharmed. It’s...

[It’s irrational and childish, the way his voice fractures and dies, like saying Lydia’s name aloud might somehow tempt fate to push her closer to the edge... but he tries again and he still can’t make himself say it. He can only meet Logan’s eyes through the Fed with unabashed fear and pain.]

... it’s not me. But I digress—what can I do?

[whatitfeelslike]

[It doesn't exactly take a telepath to figure out who Charles is worried about and Logan gets it. He'd be worried about Frost too.]

One of the domes turned people dark and now they're dangerous. Barry Allen is leading a few people trying to get them locked down before they do something that can't be undone. Can you help him track them down?

[Flash has got enough people. Logan can remove himself from that fight.] Tell me where she is, Charles.

Text 7/15 - Late Night

[wantadistraction]

So whose great idea was it to say that we don't need to spend EVERY night together?

Re: Text 7/15 - Late Night

[greatswellofpity]

Damned if I know. Something about personal space or maturity or requiring actual sleep instead of shagging the night away.

All stodgy rubbish if you ask me. Whomever said it is a bloody idiot.

[Charles. Charles was the one that said it. It was Charles.]

[wantadistraction]

I think there was some idiot agreeing and saying something about not rushing too quickly into things.

I take it back.

Also I enjoyed ‘shagging’ all night.
