[Video] Friday, late morning
[The network is lucky. It missed out on one panicky teenager bouncing around and screaming as the spaceship shouted at him and alarms blared. The feed opens with alarms still blaring, but at least there's no more voices coming from the ship, and Todd is a little calmer, though he still looks pretty freaked out.]
Okay, so. I, uh, I think I got myself locked in. The doors won't open and somebody was goin' on about a lockdown. And there's some kinda weapon er somethin' in here.
[He shuffles nervously, looking around, then adds plaintively,]
Help?

What did you do?
[he'll just be off looking for the nearest telepath to guide his way now. :|]
threadjack? :D
Erik.
it's like you read my- wait :|
[show, not tell. he knows how much quicker it'll be to let jocelyn guide the way herself.]

[no, you're not allowed to reference any time it hasn't involved an xavier okay.
it's easier this time not to react to the intrusion as he welcomes the information she provides him with. he's already well on his way to reaching the ship, his abilities propelling him forward far quicker than his own two feet ever could.]
no subject
I haven't even finished the first list yet, and you want me to start another?
no subject
Surely that shouldn't take you too long, Professor.
no subject
I'll need to cross-reference with my other selves.
[That really shouldn't be so easy to say.
Then, more soberly...]
You'll want to approach the ship carefully, Erik. I'm not entirely certain what Todd did, but it might well be weaponised.

So Todd's face is a little defensive on top of nervous when he responds.]
I was just explorin' the ship, that's all! And this one thing in a box went all powered on, an' then somebody started talkin', an' all the doors shut! I didn't do nothin' wrong!
no subject
It's all right, Todd. These things happen. We're going to get you out.
I'm going to look into your mind, all right? Just so I know exactly where you are.

Wait there and don't touch anything. We'll get you out of there soon.
no subject
Okay. A'right. Don't touch anything, you got it.
[ ... and he'll try, of course. It lasts a couple minutes, but that'll be about it. At least he doesn't set anything else off in the process?]
no subject
but as it stands, the comments don't come. instead, he just continues on his way to the ship, the only sound coming from his feed being the rush of air as he pushes himself to move as quickly as he can.]
no subject
Yeah, that not touching anything thing doesn't last long at all, but at least Erik can't see it, exactly.]
no subject
a thump of his hand against the front of it is toad's only warning before he's pressing against the door, his hold against the alien metal being next to useless. but the power running through the lock is a whole other story as it starts to spark, the alarms seemingly growing louder as the lock is forced to disengage and let the door crash open.]

[Watchers, apparently, will forever and always be endowed with the ability to make him insane, even if they're odd children he hasn't really convinced yet, let alone sworn in.]
no subject
What I need is somebody to get those doors to open up again. An' this room to stop flashin' lights at me!
no subject
[Ugh, transportation spells along with establishing location? He won't be good for much else for a while.]
You're aboard the... ship?
no subject
[Todd pauses and glances aside, looking even more nervous.]
... think he's kinda mad, though.
no subject
[He suspects "kinda mad" happens to Todd a lot.]
Best of luck?
no subject
[Too bad Thero isn't going to come, too. Maybe if there was another person around, Magneto-but-not wouldn't get too obviously mad and, like, cage him up in metal or something.]
