con attempt 001: what in fresh hell. [voice]

[zombiefree]

--sting, testing. Come in, Tallahassee, you giant goon. This is really cute, but we probably shouldn't be messing with Bill's crap. Respect for the dead, and all that. I'm also creeped out you managed to get this on me without waking up. Wait, wait, wait. Is this supposed to work like some kinda tracking device? I must say, I'm offended. Asshole

[ Have some rather aghast staring. For a moment. While Charles attempts to be proper. ]

Language.

An interesting name. It is nice to meet you, Wichita.

You are from a time much further in the future than I, that is for sure. [ He's used to this from the City, but still, it's shocking enough. Such words! Such slang! ]

[zombiefree]

It's the name of my hometown. But everyone calls me it, so. Yeah.

Zombie Apocalypse, circa 2009. You?

video;

[grooviestmutant]

Quite interesting. It is a pleasure to meet you.

[ The world's longest pause here. ]

Zombie apocalypse? [ This is making less and less sense for Charles. :c ]

The pleasure's all mine, Charles Xavier.

Mad Cow diseased turned to Mad Human disease and that's basically where I'm at right now. Trying not to get sick.

I hope you don't mind my questioning but, ah, we are speaking of... reanimated human corpses?

video;

[zombiefree]

No, nah, not technically. We just call them zombies cause they act like reanimated human corpses. Bloodlust and anger and rotting flesh, the whole nine. They're still alive though, just sick. [Again with the suddenly kinda serious tone, because that's what made it all... not fun. They were still alive, just sick.]

[ Well, color Charles entirely horrified -- and fascinated. Oh, so fascinated. He stares at her curiously for a long time, letting all of these words sink in before he replies. ]

An epidemic?

video;

[zombiefree]

I guess, yeah. World-wide. There's no cure or anything so it's sort of wiped everything out.

[grooviestmutant]

[ That horrified expression is still on his features and he's staring quite a bit, before he sighs. He might as well've popped a monocle from his face. ]

Hm. Frightening. Though the implications are fascinating.

video;

[zombiefree]

I guess.

... Are you a doctor, or just really into devastating, incurable viruses?

[grooviestmutant]

[ Charles cannot help but laugh at that, and he suddenly looks rather embarrassed. He's hardly introduced himself, and here he's getting his jollies from the pain and suffering of others. 8|... ]

Ah, no, I am--a professor, of genetics.

[zombiefree]

Guess that makes some sense, then. [His laugh makes her smile a bit, and alright, fine, she'll stop messing with Charles the Genetics Professor. There was no use in leaving a sour impression with people that might come in handy later.] Well, it looks like we're clear of it here, what with all the... non-zombies walking around. Which is weird, but, I can't complain. I'll let you know if anyone starts showing signs, though.

[grooviestmutant]

To be honest, I'd rather like that. Who knows what could happen in this place.

It -- has the air of something much more volatile than it seems.

video;

[zombiefree]

Seems pretty normal to me.

... Minus the kidnapping thing.

[Teasing him? Wichita? What? -- yes, yes she is.]

video;

[grooviestmutant]

[ Charles puffs his cheeks for a moment in displeasure and narrows his eyes at her, before he's laughing. ] Yes, well.

If I am stating the obvious, I'm quite sorry.
