[lehnsherr]

[he's lost track of time since his arrival. bar the few, brief conversations he's had on the network during his breaks from standing watch over charles' pod, he hasn't spoken to many people yet. he hasn't seen a need to. not while he's still trying to work out what to do next. he knows that charles would be disappointed in him if he knew how little he'd done so far. that he'd spent all this time mourning the loss of someone that hadn't actually belonged to him for years. or was that just months now? he doesn't know anymore.

but regardless, he's forced himself to leave again. this time, for good. until he knows just how to get charles out of the pod, he knows he can't go back. not to mention that already, there's already another problem he needs to deal with.

more than one, really.]

If there are any others here who know a man named Erik Lehnsherr (or Magneto) in their home worlds, now is the time to mention it.

[yes, it's text only right now. no, that isn't changing for any of you yet. sorry?

okay, hold on. you're getting that other question too. the sooner he gets the answers he needs, the better.]

Are there any people here familiar with the technology used to contain those trapped aboard the ship?

I need a way to open one of the pods without harming the person inside.

[and then on to those...other issues.]

[locked to xaviers]

I apologise for my absence since my arrival. There was something that needed to be take care of first.

Charles, if your offer of somewhere to stay still stands, I think I'd welcome it right now.

[and then reluctantly tagged on-]

Thank you.

[Ah hah. So that just proves he's just the same as the other Magneto, doesn't it. Good. That means this is familiar territory.]

I'll make those realizations on my own, thanks.

And just make sure it stays that way.

[lehnsherr]

Just don't forget what I've said.

[and then that's it. pushing the point any further is only going to make things worse, so he doesn't see a reason to try just now.

it doesn't mean pietro's in the clear yet though.]

[cantcatchme]

Or you what I've said.

[Yeah, he doesn't have a leg to stand on, but it feels good to pretend he can back up the posturing. And hey, this Erik doesn't know his power yet. That's as good a bluff as any.]
