Oh babe, you seem really tense.

I'll be offering a few off-campus yoga classes, if you want to stop by sometime. It could really help make you feel better.

[yournotjigsaw]

.....Hey.

...[doubletake] Yoga? I uh-

That's the bending and flexing...shi-stuff. Right? With windchimes?

[Derp. GIRL. DERP.]

[plzpookie]

Windchimes aren't totally necessary. But yeah, it's the "bending and flexing shi-stuff".

[Smirks] It helps relieve tension, and babe, looks like you could use it. Give it a thought, okay? I'm Maureen Johnson.

[yournotjigsaw]

....Maureen Johnson?

[Recognition dawns]

Aren't you the one who staged that sing-a-long in central park? The one that had all the cops from the Mutant Officer's Action League attended right until the mounted cops broke you guys up?

[He sound a bit in awe]

[ushiwaka_laka]

... Yeah, bonjour~!

[yournotjigsaw]

...Uh...Bon-journo.

You're French?

[ushiwaka_laka]

Nope, Caucasian-Japanese.

[yournotjigsaw]

[OOP.]

....Right. Sorry.

[He winces] thanks for the welcome.

[notalfredjones]

It's not disrespect to call us mutants. There are far worse terms people use.

Nice to meet you though I suppose? [laughs] I don't think we'd have a problem with your language.

[yournotjigsaw]

....It's gonna take a few days to break that habit. I just sat through a seminar on mutant-human relations back home.

That'd be a fucking relief to say mutant again.

[He frowns] Superior's orders. I gotta watch my fucking tongue.

[notalfredjones]

Doing a good job of that aren't you? [amused chuckle]

You'll get the hang of it, eh?

[yournotjigsaw]

...I guess not.

[Sheepish] I really did mean to make a good impression.

[a_whiter_shade]

First and foremost, watch your language. We have some very young children in our student body. Secondly, your thinly disguised distrust of mutants does not endear you to me. Tread carefully.

[yournotjigsaw]

First. Yes Ma'am. [He is nothing if not polite].

Secondly. It's not mistrust. Ma'am. It's blatent...

[He has to consider this.]

I have seen too much of what people do to one another to trust humanity.

Any...kind of humanity.

[a_whiter_shade]

You do realize who you are speaking with, yes? I have seen what evil lurks in the hearts of men. Nevertheless, I endeavor to treat my fellow creatures with some measure of respect, and you will kindly do the same--particularly when dealing with a minority group on the verge of disenfranchisement. Are we understood?

[yournotjigsaw]

[Eric's temper gets the better of him in all of these cases.]

.....You're Emma Frost. Look Lady, I know who you are and what you do. LISTEN, I'm not the bad guy here. I came here to try and offer you guys some respect because I DO care. I'm anti-registration. I voted against X-gene testing IN the police union for chrissake! I-

[He stops] ... ten. nine..eight-

[He breathes. Calm again]

Look. .....okay maybe I was out of line but the holier then thou attitude doesn't help your case. You guys aren't the only people suffering.

[Peers]

Ah, you're a police officer? It's very nice to meet you, Detective Matthews, sir!

Re: [Video]

[yournotjigsaw]

[Eric is completely thrown.]

.... Thanks kiddo. Nice to meet you too.

Re: [Video]

[phytokinesis]

Thank you! Oh-- my name is Fletcher Tringham. If I see anyone committing any crimes I'll be sure to tell you!

Re: [Video]

[yournotjigsaw]

[Eric sounds pleasant, like a father]

Thank you Fletcher. Or you can call 911 and some of my friends-but I'll make sure to come.
