[A friendly chuckle.]

If you think New York is bad, you should see Tokyo.

It's nice to meet you, Detective Matthews. Call me Tsuzuki. I'm the dance instructor here at the school.

[yournotjigsaw]

.... I can only imagine. No city's like New York tho- I mean if you had to have one it'd probably be Tokyo but the apple gets special crazy. [/self-centered New Yorker-ness.]

....Pleasure Mr. Tsuzuki. Uh...Call me Eric I guess. Dance?

Dance superpowers?

[purplepieeater]

Just Tsuzuki. No need to tack on the 'mister.'

Partnered dances, mostly ballroom. You know, waltz, foxtrot, tango.

[yournotjigsaw]

...Tsuzuki.

[he stumbles for a second]

Gotcha. [he grins] I'm impressed. None of that bumping and grinding shit the kids like huh? Good. for. you..

Well, it's... nice to meet you Detective. I'm Xavier's Chief of Security, so if... there's anything we can do for you just give me a call.

Will do. Will do.

I uh...actually since I have your ear I'll ask. You guys institute any policies about going into town? I'm lost something fierce. This department makes Twin Peaks look like the big city and uh...

I don't know. You guys even in our jurisdiction?

[fairerthandeath]

The institute is a little... special. I'm sure you're aware of that. We have various policies in place, curfews, permissions... But students are sometimes a little difficult to keep complete control of when they're... special. Besides, the institute regularly attracts its own special breed of bad guys. Mostly I think we're a little... beyond jurisdiction since we're used to having our own problems.

Uh huh.

I'll buy that up to a point. If fire and brimestone rain down on the school that's your deal. I can understand the need to maintain that sort of security and I'm fine with that.

What has your policy been regarding dealing with the town? Just in case people do attack it...trying to get at the school?

....Help me out here man. My superior told me to come up here, explain that 911's a tool you guys should use if needed and laughed as he sent me out of the office. I'm not out to make a warm-and-friendly statement. Just lookin' to do my job.

I would like. In advance. To apologize to my puppet being a tool. He will grow out of this. I promise. ^^;

[knowyourfears]

We don't bite.

[evertosoar]

I dunno, we've got wolves and dragons.

[knowyourfears]

[... WELL THEN.]

"Some of us might bite you, but we've probably had all our shots," doesn't quite sound the same though.

[evertosoar]

I think it sounds better.

[cafedeinfierno]

Ha...! Looks like another product of big-city living. Hop on the boat with me, amigo.

Of course, working a school has its own excitements.

[yournotjigsaw]

Yep. First LA then New York city...

.....I've never worked 'round one like this man. I mean half the stuff on the news..

[cafedeinfierno]

A fellow traveler from the City of Angels as well!

Oh, things are always much less interesting than the media likes to tell you. The average newspaper is like a kindergartner at a Disney parade-- too many colors, too little facts.

[yournotjigsaw]

...No shit?

[The relief in his voice is palpable] My ex-wife booked it out west awhile ago.

....So uh...what am I supposed to believe?

[evertosoar]

Yup, mutant school. Welcome to Salem.

Don't harbor what?

[yournotjigsaw]

The name's ironic. I'll say that much Fuc-Fudgin' irony.

.....[looks right and left]

Serial Killers.

But that's a once in a life time thing son, and I'm new..

[evertosoar]

I think we did once. [IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO TELL IF HE'S JOKING OR NOT 8D] Well maybe he was more of a mass murderer...

[yournotjigsaw]

. . .

Really?

[EPIC SKEPTICAL MOMENT]
