I find myself in need of a bit of walking-around money. May we talk about trades?

[ Locked to Erik, also open to Raven ]

You're not the Erik I know. I'm not the Charles you know. We can leave it at that.

[ Open ]

My name is Charles Xavier. I am one of the awakened, from the ship. As far as I know, we are all from different times, and perhaps from different universes as well, and none of us knows how we came to be asleep on an unfamiliar spacecraft.

Has anyone a theory to present?

And one more thing. This may seem like an odd question, but... is there a large population center, nearby? I don't mean under the dome.

[ ooc note: Charles is talking about Israel's mind, which feels to him like a large population center even though it isn't. ]

Comments

[radars]

You're rather persistent, asking about this.

[eternaliyah]

There are too many vast mysteries around us right now.

It's sort of soothing, having a small one to poke at.

[This is a totally legit motive, okay.]

[radars]

What if I'm just delusional?

[eternaliyah]

Maybe you are.

It's the sort of detail worth knowing about a person, for one thing, even if it seems like a non-destruction delusion at the moment.

[radars]

Mm.

I do truly want to get to the bottom of this. It feels important. If you learn anything that could explain this...

[eternaliyah]

I'll keep you in mind.

[He definitely will.]

[lehnsherr]

Then unless it's regarding a way off of this world, I'll keep my distance.

[No, he's not taking the easy route. What are you talking about?]

[diziet_sma]

Number of people, perhaps? Or some point in time?

I wasn't thinking ally so much as finding out what he knows. I don't know what we could gain from it, if it's even worth it, but why would we end up here with him an not the Lehnsherr from our own timeline?

Or-- Or what if we show up? The Charles and Raven that he knows, where does that leave us?


I guess I'm just asking if you think we should leave him alone entirely, or if you wouldn't mind me talking to him again? [Someone's still stuck in the mindset that if this was the Erik from their world, he might not want her running to make conversation.]

[radars]

Very well.

[original_fine]

I'm actually wondering why you think it's an odd question.

[radars]

Then the next step is to find the significance of the date.

What name would you go by?

[video; locked]

[radars]

No... I have a friend who is equally unwilling to have certain talents made public, if you will. She and I found -- well, it looks like it was once a house, anyhow.

[diziet_sma]

Diziet Sma. Sorry; my manners seem to have taken a beating since I got here.

[radars]

Perhaps because the Lensherr from our timeline would cause a great deal of trouble. This one seems a bit... I can't believe I'm saying this, but he seems as though he's calmer. Not so overt.

Be careful. That's all.

[radars]

Oh -- I thought that might have been a greeting of some sort. Do you go by the full name?

[diziet_sma]

[A laugh.] Diziet is fine. And yourself?

[radars]

Just Charles.

[diziet_sma]

Charles, then. Pleased to meet you.

[waspromisedcake]

You're quick to make friends.

[There goes another of Wing's theories. He looks a bit...crestfallen, the pinions of his shoulder engines flattening.]

I wonder why they took two from your world. Are you special?

[lehnsherr]

[It isn't what he wants to do, but he goes ahead and disconnects there. This isn't the Charles he knows, which means that technically, he can't be trusted any more than anyone else on this planet can.]

[radars]

And you.

I think I'll need to spend a few days securing resources. I've never started from absolute zero in a completely unknown place before -- but once that's done, I plan on doing some exploring.

[video; locked]

[radars]

She's from my world.

It could be that we were just quick to awaken.
