[Hank has been put in charge for the weekend and by god he is going to do things right. He's updating here from his desk at the school.]

It is my regret to inform our students at the Xavier Institute that classes will be cancelled until this current crisis is averted. It simply wouldn't do to have our offsite teachers [Well, with the exception of

[couldbeavoided]

Oh dear.

that's okay! we will tag at your pace :D

[bluepurrymuffin]

Are you alright, Bob? How've you been managing throughout this ordeal?

\o/

[couldbeavoided]

It's not too bad. I've been staying off the ground.

[bluepurrymuffin]

I only ask because you sounded troubled.

[couldbeavoided]

Not troubled, per se. I just wish there was more that could be done about it all, you know?

[bluepurrymuffin]

Ah, I can certainly relate to the feeling. We seem to be cornered in a defensive position, merely reacting to the crisis and doing what we can to minimize the damage.

Actually ending it? Well, I'm afraid that's quite out of my hands, at least.

[couldbeavoided]

Out of everyone else's too, it seems like.

[bluepurrymuffin]

There are a couple of more magically inclined Cityzens seeking a solution, but that's hardly my field.

[couldbeavoided]

Mine either. [ Said with mild annoyance. ] But it's good that someone's working on something.

[bluepurrymuffin]

Yes, it is.

Have you been keeping busy enough?

[couldbeavoided]

I don't know if it's enough. But I'm trying.

[bluepurrymuffin]

I'm certain that whatever effort you have to give will be enough.

Should you feel the need for a break, you're welcome to stop by the Institute. I'll treat you to lunch.

[couldbeavoided]

Oh, thank you. I should treat you, though; I don't need to eat.

[bluepurrymuffin]

Ah, yes. My mistake.

A cup of tea and pleasant conversation, then? Rarely a case of need with that one, but usually good to have on occasion either way.

[couldbeavoided]

Tea works. But I can pay.

[bluepurrymuffin]

Of course not, Bob, you'd be my guest! I simply won't hear it. Surely, you can let someone else put you first for a change?
