001 [Video]

[Of course, the first thing Alex does is drop his comm, but there's at least a flash of yellow before it hits the pavement and turns off again. Still, it's not long before he manages to halfway figure out how to kind of turn it on. There's a long shot of the MAC as Alex presses the phone to his ear.]

Uh, hello?

Oh my God, Alex?

Re: video;

Professor?

[Turning the comm over, trying to figure out where the sound is coming from. Have a nice view of a concrete building! ]

[ Charles can't help but laugh for a short moment. ] There is ah-- a small light, on the front, where the camera is.

I cannot believe you're here.

Re: video;

[destroyedstatue]

[Okay, find the light. Hey that's a lot easier than all the fumbling he's been doing. The camera centers on Alex, but he looks nine different levels of confused.]

Thanks. [Awkward shuffle.] I didn't think I'd end up here either. [This is the complete opposite of Cuba.]

Alex. You are outside of the MAC building?

[destroyedstatue]

[More flipping of the comm as Alex presses it back to his ear. Wait, didn't Erik leave the beach with--- Hmm.]

Yeah. [Kind of at a loss for words, too.]

Stay where you are. Charles and I will come find you. [no charles you don't have a choice. not that you aren't thinking the same thing right now anyway.]

Re: video;

[destroyedstatue]

Yeah, sure. [Pause as he tries flipping the communicator around again. This thing is too confusing.]

You know where we are?

permavid!

[firebent]

Which thing? The comm.. thing or the dimension thing?

same here!

[destroyedstatue]

The [shakes the comm moving the picture back and forth] this thing.

[firebent]

[ oh god Zuko sure hates his comm, he'll just wait until the screen stops shaking. ]

We all get one when we're ported here. I still don't know how it works.

[destroyedstatue]

[Alex does indeed stop shaking the comm, but the camera is focused on a wall instead of the blonde.]

I can't figure it out either. There's a guy that should be here. Beast. He's kind of good with technology.

permavid.

[spadassin]

[... oh gods. he's so much younger, but she still recognizes him--it'd be impossible for her not to. she takes a while to actually post something, but once she does, she keeps her voice calm and cool, and her expression smooth. no need to freak out on someone who... obviously won't know her sob.]

You mean Hank McCoy, I assume?

Re: permavid.

[destroyedstatue]

[Fiddling with the comm and the camera focuses on his face for a couple seconds before he tries pressing it to his ear.]

Yeah. Bigfoot. He might know how to work with this thing.

[spadassin]

[purses her lips, trying not to smile.]

You don't have to do that. I'm sure you can hear me just fine.

You'll have to go to the Institute.

[destroyedstatue]

[Alex pulls the comm away from his ear and the camera focuses on his face again for a few seconds.]

I'm not getting locked up again. [Because the Institute isn't exactly the best turn-of-phrase for someone who is used to prison.]

[ After a tiny bit of creepering on other people's responses. ]

Alex Summers, is it?

permavid from Alex

[destroyedstatue]

[Startled furrow of his eyebrows. Okay someone who knows him but he doesn't know them. This is starting to get weird.]

...Yeah?

he will video too, then... somewhat warily! but yes.

[in_likeflynn]

Sorry. I guessed correctly, that is all.

I come from another world that is somewhat similar to yours, at least as far as many of the people are concerned.

I am Kurt Wagner.

Aw poor Kurt. :c

[destroyedstatue]

[Also Kurt did you know you're blue? Alex is kind of just staring for a couple seconds before he snaps out of it.]

Uh, Alex Summers. [And gestures toward himself.]

...well you already know that.
