Hello, everyone. Been a while, hasn't it?

[Charles' tone is perfectly genial, and altogether cheerful. Christmas is, after all, his favourite time of year.]I, ah, I'm aware that not all of you celebrate Christmas, or even know what it is (in which case I'd be happy to explain, you need only ask), but there's a little poem I'd like to share with ( Read more... )

[guess who's got two thumbs and looks terse.]

Erik, a word?

[and, later, another message encrypted to Sollux and very definitely encrypted AWAY from the first recipient.]

Ah-- Sollux, I've a favour to ask, if you would be so kind?

Right, ah, the first order of the day, I suppose, is to introduce myself. We've had rather a lot of new people show up in the last two weeks and I'm afraid I've had my head a bit buried in the sand. Hello, everyone, my name is Charles Xavier; it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance.

[Enter telepath. Who looks like he hasn't slept properly since this entire event started. Of course his appearance is still relatively kempt, professorial tweed and neatly combed hair, the fingers of his right hand hovering in perpetuity in the vicinity of his temple.]The barracks in Zone 03 are presently free of any trace of this Plague, should ( Read more... )

So, ah.

[clearing his throat professorially. Wow there is no real forethought existing here, but nevertheless he plunges onward with aplomb and a little waggle of his fingers, familiar to those that are aware of his HERE THERE BE TELEPATHY pontification.]Though I by no means have a desire to be forward, as it were, I'm curious to know if there's ( Read more... )

[If someone had told him that very morning that he was going to, at some point in the day, step into an Asimov novel, Charles would have just shaken his head at the whimsicality of it all and carried on his merry way.
