Yes, Charles, I've sensed it too--it seems to be trying to make contact, almost, but I can't quite--[frowns and peers at a spot just past Xavier's head]

It seems you are making a closer connection than I am, Emma. There may be a chance that, whatever it is, it needs our help - ensuring the safety of the school should be our priority, but if we can make peaceful contact, then we ought to. Have you been able to determine any more specific intention on its part?

[a_whiter_shade]

I wouldn't go so far as to say intention, not at the moment. It's all a bit--I hesitate to use the word "eldritch," but it seems a far cry from the other intelligent lifeforms we've encountered as of late, human beings reluctantly included. [sighs] I shall keep my eyes peeled, however, and my mind wide open.

[really he just came because AAAH IT'S THE PROFESSOR CAN'T SAY NO even though this is all like way out of his league]

[Xigbar arrives much as he usually does, although he stays on the ground proper when he arrives.]

Maybe it's something imposing on the school?

[ceilingsniper]

In the school, or in one of the kids?

[Kakashi's starting to think that continuing to work for SHIELD would have been more restful. Once this is all over, he's definitely taking a couple of personal days to read porn relax. He stands with his arms crossed in front of him, leaning up against a wall]

While I'm all in favour of peace, whatever this being is, it's sent abilities like Karrin Murphy's danger sense into overdrive. Even if the goal is to make peaceful contact, we shouldn't forget that it's got potential to pose a serious threat.

[Leaning casually against a nearby window frame.] Speak softly and carry a big stick, you mean.

[copies_you]

More or less. Hope for the best, expect the worst.

[symmachy]

Good plan. But what is the worst, then?
