[The camera clicks on to a screen half-covered by a couple fingers, and the faint click-click of some of the buttons on the phone being fiddled with. Raven can be seen, looking up at the ceiling as she listens to the porters 'Welcome to the City' greeting and toying with the phone it had told her to pick up. She's in 'blonde' mode, dressed in a

Erik... Lensherr?

[blue_and_proud]

[She nods, considering the fact that it did voice instead of video. Hmm.]

Yes. Tall, brown hair, tiny bit of a German accent? Well, not all the time.

[microwavemutant]

He's not here, I'm fairly certain.

[blue_and_proud]

[She wilts faintly on the screen but catches herself, eyes flicking away as she thinks.]

What about Charles Xavier? He's my brother, is he here?

[microwavemutant]

No. He isn't here either. [A pause.] I'm sorry if this seems nosy, but how do you know them?

[blue_and_proud]

Charles's is my brother, I said. And Erik is...a friend.

[microwavemutant]

Right. [Longer pause.] Um, who else were you looking for? Which others?

[blue_and_proud]

[She's not really sure she should be spouting names but what other choice does she have?]

Hank McCoy? Alex Summers, maybe?

[microwavemutant]

Hank is here. Alex is gone, but he was here before.

[blue_and_proud]

Hank is here?

[Oh wow she looks so relieved. She doesn't even manage to hide it. And Alex being here but gone, well...that's reassuring, at least? People go home!]

How did he leave? I need to get back.

[microwavemutant]

Yes, Hank's here. He teaches at the school...

Alex left when the porter sent him back. That's the only way back, unfortunately. [She's not mentioning the death thing now though.]

[blue_and_proud]

Right. Charles's school...

[She almost sounds amused as she says that. It's going to take some getting used to. She pushes aside the fact that she's stuck here. For now.]

How can I reach him? Hank, I mean.

[microwavemutant]

He may be listening on the Network. If not, you could just go to Xavier's. He's there a lot.

[blue_and_proud]

Right, okay. I should do that anyway.

[And finally she has a moment to focus on the person she is talking to, really.]

Who are you?

[microwavemutant]

My name is Angelica. I'm a teacher at the school.

[blue_and_proud]

Oh. Nice to meet you.

So you know Charles?
