[ newly arrived in camp is a man wearing a helmet. it's the middle of summer and the helmet is made out of metal. he may appear slightly overheated but is valiantly ignoring this.

perhaps you can convince him to take it off. ]

Professor, is that really him?

[mind_over_metal]

In the same sense and context that I'm really me, me.

[needsahandjob]

This is so weird.

[if Charles is listening at all, Julian is actually more perturbed at the DEAD FRIEND. sorry dude.]

[mind_over_metal]

*THAT'S OKAY it's good to have something else also going on NOT THAT I'M SAYING IT'S GOOD THAT YOUR FRIEND DIED because it's not, it just- yes.*

It truly is. More of us seem to just keep on coming here.

[needsahandjob]

No kidding, and it's never anyone you expect.

[mind_over_metal]

*nods his head toward the mutant with the red wings*

You know him?

[needsahandjob]

That's Jay Guthrie. We were classmates.

[mind_over_metal]

...I'm sorry, Julian.

[needsahandjob]

It's just not fair!

[mind_over_metal]

No, it isn't. As is often the case. Which leaves it to us to make it so, as best we can.

What is the time difference between the two of you?

[needsahandjob]

A while or so. He died right when things started to get really messed up.

[mind_over_metal]

*very gently*

What do you plan to tell him?

[needsahandjob]

What he needs to do to save his life. He won't die. I won't let it happen.

[mind_over_metal]

*nods*

Are you able to tell me what happened to him?

[needsahandjob]

They rip his wings off and then kill him.

[mind_over_metal]

And who is "they"?
