[Charles is in a restaurant somewhere, sitting, seemingly alone, the tie to his sweater-vest a bit loose. He has a straight-face but if you can tell, he appears peeved, even a little angry. His voice is dry, very, very dry. He is looking straight into the NV and not blinking.]

Does anyone else think perhaps a school especially for newcomer

Just can't leave the school behind, huh Professor?

Re: [Video]

[goodshepherd_x]

I was going to try, dear, but not like this.

[thelittlestbub]

The Mothers thing? Honestly, they're kinda tame. But then, ya know, Bastion, the FoH... My perspective's a bit skewed.

I'm totally not going to be Scooter for the newcomer kids though. You can't make me. [She sticks her tongue out at the Professor, playfully. Hey look, Jubilee's personality is almost back!]

...

I suppose my fear is the larger scale of what they stand for, and the mere idea that anyone would deny anything to children just...rips my heart out.

[Yeah so you can take it away and destroy her again *glares at* >_> ]

[He sighs and manages a rough smile.] No one was going to force you.

I see you saw the news this morning.

I have floor plans on my desk, to use the "common areas" of the new building as classrooms, if needed.

indeed.

[goodshepherd_x]

Thank you. I wouldn't have pressed it, otherwise. But...I cannot allow this insanity.

I cannot think of another appropriate course of action.

Re: indeed.

[makes_asteroids]

It's something I was think of before you aware.

And I can thing of a few others, but they involve sending Newcomer children to schools with armed guards.

excellent english, erik

[He rubs his temple and sighs...not that anyone can see the motion.]

Why does this follow us everywhere.

[Voice]

[hellsing_heir]

Some may like the idea, especially if they arrive here alone.

[Much like she had.]

Re: [Voice]

[goodshepherd_x]

I hope I can do something to help.

[Voice]

[hellsing_heir]

Maybe you should consult with the the people who run the Newcomer Fund? I bet they would be willing to help.

Re: [Voice]

[goodshepherd_x]

...Where do I find them, exactly?

[burningfowl]

If the part about it being especially for newcomers was removed, I'd agree, yoi. It might be for a good cause, but others would simply see it as newcomers agreeing with this idea of segregation.

Re: [voice]

[goodshepherd_x]

My thought was more safety than segregation. Of course, anyone would be allowed. We'd do a bit of a security screening on both sides, of course.

[Thinking we might need a space outside the apartments being build for this school, depending how this goes...

[voice]

[burningfowl]

That sounds more like a good idea. Safety's a good thing for children to have if they aren't capable of protecting themselves, yoi.

[If he had any spare cash, he'd totally donate to the cause. He likes kids.]

Re: [voice]

[goodshepherd_x]

For now I am thinking I can offer a safe place for children to come and stay, and learn, and train their powers, and the like, in their free-time and whenever they do not feel safe.

[voice]

[azarathmetrion]

Yes. But that might also make it a target.

Re: [voice]

[goodshepherd_x]

[He actually laughs at this.]

My dear, you must get to know me and my friends. We ran a school for mutants back home, in a world of hatred-consumed humans without powers.

[voice]

[azarathmetrion]

But this time, the others have powers.

Re: [voice]

[goodshepherd_x]

Yet they still hate us. [He hates the fact that this pretty much means 'Magneto was Right.']
