[ The PORTAL clicks on to show the ceiling of one of the many housing rooms through out the city. There is a rustle then a muffled curse in a British accent, before a hand closes around the PORTAL and pulls it up from the floor. After some crazy camera angles, the face of one Charles Xavier can be found looking at the screen. Complete with a simple

First things first - are you okay? Secondly, welcome to Promenade, city of dreams which means that you...whoever you are, are able to dream whatever you need into being.

[Or for the most part. Dreaming up nukes whilst drunk sadly did not materialise.]

I'm quite alright. The injury was some time ago. [ Because you know, seven weeks is "some time ago." ]

As in I just need to think it and it appears.

[Seven weeks is a lifetime ago.] Great.

Exactly, just like magic.

[Helpful demonstration - god he's going to get fat if he keeps this up - via a box of mysteriously appearing donuts.]

I've got some files I can send your way if you want to read up on what we've gathered so far.

[ His eyebrows raise. That's new. ]

If they contain more information than what I can gather from the minds of the people striding around on the streets, then I would appreciate it.

[Death's smiling, albeit masked, face pops up on his PORTAL.] Make it yourself.

This place, Promenade, is a dream world. Therefore, you can create yourself a wheelchair. Whatever color, size, and seat softness you'd like. You can make almost anything here.

I am very informed of this being a dream world. [ Mind reading is awesome. ]

Given that, it's amazing how the Queen and King keep everyone in line. The more dangerous the dreamer is, the more dangerous their dreams are going to be.

Then if you knew, why haven't you tried it yet? Don't trust your own dreams?

Some of the more dangerous dreams don't come into being. If you dream of an atomic bomb, it won't manifest.

There are many factors one must consider when they are in a dream that has it's foundations created by someone else.

I'm sure that creates some unhappy residents.

Do you need help?! Oh, right, of course you- I mean, I'll look for one!

[ He gives her a smile. ] I'm fine, I assure you. The injury healed some weeks ago.

[rightdownrighta]

I see... Still, it's-

[The PORTAL falls as there's a quick yelp as she trips over a wheelchair that was not there a moment ago.]

[ He blinks, leaning forward a bit. As if it'll get him a better angle or something. ]

Are you alright, Mei?

[saeptuose]

[ So many people showing up lately. Geez. She's not sure if this is good or not. ]

A wheelchair?

[arethebettermen]

It is just as the name implies. A chair with wheels.

[saeptuose]

[ Lifts a brow. Uuuuh... ]

What do you need that for?

[arethebettermen]

I have lost the use of my legs... and everything below the waist.

Wheel chair? I can do you a favor and look for one. I know there's some hospitals and clinics around.

[arethebettermen]

It makes me wonder what a dream world would need a hospital for, but, thank you for your offer.

Things here aren't as easy as they seem.

If the world is manipulated by the whims of the mind, then one merely would need to believe they are fine and they, in theory, would heal again.
