[Ladies and gentlemen... Professor Charles Xavier. In a wheelchair. Courtesy of his little fall on the stairs of the clothier's tower. He does not look amused.]
Panicking over this situation will get us absolutely nowhere. You all must calm down, and remember one very important fact.
These are, quite simply, squash. Pumpkins. Granted, I ( Read more... )

[As he'd found out when he'd removed his brother's pumpkin, and why he currently can't bring himself to remove any of the ones he knows, despite what they're saying. But then he's distracted, noticing the wheelchair.]
Are you okay?
[His voice sounds a bit different, slightly distorted, courtesy of the fact that he's in his ice form at the moment.]
Reply
[He catches that distortion. And it makes him raise an eyebrow.]
Yes? What do you -- oh. Well. A minor mishap on the stairs. It's quite all right. Or it will be.
Reply
[To put it mildly.]
Oh. Good, that's - I'm glad you're okay.

... Are you all right, Bobby? You seem fairly more distressed than I'd expected.

[Aside from making them all go a little crazy, anyway.]
I, um. I moved my brother's pumpkin. I wasn't expecting what happened. But it wasn't really him, I know that. Just kind of a shock.
[He doesn't really want to talk about the rest of what's bothering him, or why finding his brother's pumpkin had been so complicated. So instead, there's a pause as he switches over to video, and then gives a bit of a wave in his ice form.]
If I sound different, uh, this is probably way.

[He nods.]
Understandable. I'm sorry to hear that...
[But then his eyebrows shoot up to his hairline. He looks... fascinated.]
Your entire body is... You never mentioned you were capable of that.
Reply
[And then he smiles at Charles's raised eyebrows. That'd been pretty much exactly what he was hoping for, actually. Bobby'd much rather talk about abilities than - well, anything else going on at the moment.]
This bit is a lot newer than the rest. I'm still not used to including it in my explanation. Well, that, and it's kind of fun to surprise people with.

[Sarcasm? Yes sir.]
I can certainly see why. Tell me -- do you feel any sort of sensation? Touch, heat, cold? Things of that nature?
Reply
[The sarcasm makes him smile, and it widens at his question.]
Not cold. I don't really feel cold even normally, but in this form I don't feel it at all. Heat, though, yeah, I can feel that if it's hot enough.
[Like flames.]
And I can feel touch a little, but it's really muted. The world's a lot more distant in this form.

[His chin goes to his hand. This is his thinking face.]
That's very fascinating. You don't feel cold at all? Even when your body is flesh, not ice?
Reply
[Of course, that would require knowing who was behind this. And actually being able to get to them. But that's beside the point.]
I do a bit. Like, if I'm holding an ice cube, I can feel that it's colder than the air around it. I can kind of - sense the amount of cold, or heat, that things give off. But it doesn't bother me. I've never really been cold, even if I'm outside in the snow in just a tanktop, or something.

That may come in handy some day. Considering this place seems to lack any form of heating unit, short of fire.
Reply
[And he smiles a bit at that.]
Yeah, I've noticed that. If we do end up getting something like winter, anyway, it'll definitely come in handy.
Reply
I'm sorry, what do you mean, 'if we get winter'?

The weather's a bit - weird here. The whole time I've been here, it hasn't changed at all. Same weather, every day. Except for a few days in August, when there was a sudden snowstorm, that was quickly gone.
