*suddenly in camp, a young man in a wheelchair making an off-handed comment -- almost as if he had been talking to someone -- in a rather posh British accent*

So... not 1962, then...

((ETA @ 4:45AM EST: HOLY SHIT I'M GOING TO BED will pick up old and new threads over the course of the coming days!))

[Today's free-roaming demonic companions: a mind-reading noodledog and a cheerfully homicidal demonloli]

No, definitely not.

[mind_over_metal]

So I'm-

*pauses. frowns a bit, as though he'd just seen something puzzling.*

...sorry. But so I'm gathering. Where exactly...?

[lol_intertubes]

[glances quizzically at you for a moment, wondering at your expression]

You're somewhere in the midwestern United States in the year 2011. I'm not sure anyone aside from the Director and her allies knows our exact location.

[mind_over_metal]

*expression? what expression? I am so blandly polite right now.*

And by "allies" you mean...?

[lol_intertubes]

[So you're saying I imagined that slight frown?]

Her fiance, her brother, and... however the, er, "noobspeaker" is related to her.

[mind_over_metal]

*imagined. yes. completely imagined. don't get me wrong, an active imagination is a good thing in a person, but ah. yes. you were imagining things. on my face.*

..."noobspeaker."

[lol_intertubes]

[keywords seem rather appropriate here]

"Noobspeaker."

There are two people who normally speak to us over the public address system; they're usually referred to as Loudspeaker and noobspeaker. Loudspeaker is actually the Director's brother Michael; however, as far as I remember, we've never gotten a name to place with, er, "noobspeaker."

[mind_over_metal]

Quite the family affair. Is everything here so very shrouded in mystery?

[lol_intertubes]

Unfortunately, yes.

[mind_over_metal]

Well, gives a person something to do, I suppose.

*offers his hand*

I'm Charles Xavier.

[lol_intertubes]

[has gotten much more used to handshakes]

Kuzunoha Raidou. It's nice to meet you.

[mind_over_metal]

*and Chareles's is very friendly*

Likewise.

You're from, ah, Japan?

[lol_intertubes]

[...although particularly effusive handshakes still surprise him somewhat]

Er, yes.

[mind_over_metal]

How was it that you ended up here, then?

[lol_intertubes]

I'm still not entirely sure; one moment I was in Japan following my employer's trail, and the next moment I was - well, not here, but in camp's former location. I suspect some form of magic was involved.

[mind_over_metal]

Are you very familiar with... magic?
