Right, ah, the first order of the day, I suppose, is to introduce myself. We've had rather a lot of new people show up in the last two weeks and I'm afraid I've had my head a bit buried in the sand. Hello, everyone, my name is Charles Xavier; it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance.

The second order is-- ah. Hm.

I might require a moment...

Of course, Raimi. Would you like to meet?

[BRB, FRETTING.]

[fuckinghubble]

Yeah, I would -- if it isn't too much trouble.

[/being marginally more neurotic than usual lately... which isn't saying much because Raimi is always neurotic]

Nonsense, my friend, it's never any trouble at all. Drop by my residence when you have a moment, and we can discuss whatever you wish, yes?

A telepath, huh? Here I'd been hoping for a different reason about those funny looks you give me.

[He might be more bothered about this, but he's guessing - or hoping - that the power doesn't cross the organic/inorganic barrier.]

And what reason would that be, Officer?

[The most European.]

-- Actually, no. Honestly, if I didn't know better, I'd think there was more to you than meets the eye.

Humans can read minds? I wasn't aware that was a skilled held by your kind. I am known as The Signless. Greetings.

It's by no means an ability innate to all of humanity, I promise you. And-- the Signless? Is that a name or a title, if you don't mind my asking?

[redancestor]

It is a title. I do not have a name thanks to my unique situation back home.

[selfgovernance]

Oh? Do you mind if I ask what that might be?

[eighttotwelve]

I would have never guessed.

[selfgovernance]

In that case, might I interest you in some gambling?

[eighttotwelve]

Something in mind?

[selfgovernance]

Do you have any idea how difficult it is to dredge up a chess, backgammon or go partner when people are aware that you're a telepath?

[his tone is so light and cheerful. SO FAR NO ONE'S GIVEN HIM A HEADACHE OVER IT...]

[selfgovernance]

... Honestly, I'm a little surprised at everyone's reactions.

[Ratchet gets a fond smile.]

How've you been, my friend? I've not seen you in some time. Keeping out of trouble, I hope?

[selfgovernance]

I was expecting hostility, to be perfectly honest. It must have slipped my mind that telepathy is no doubt the least of the remarkable abilities here. And, ah, no, it's not common. Though it may be at one point in the future.

Oh? Have you found anything of note?
