[The communicator is set a certain distance away, revealing Jocelyn in her wheelchair, hands folded in her lap.]

Hello. For those I haven't met, I'm Dr. Jocelyn Xavier, and I've something of an offer.

Before I arrived here, I worked with traumatised people – those who experienced war, torture, abduction, abuse. I helped them come to terms with their pain and work through it.

[She leans forward slightly, speaking intently.]

There is no shame in needing help. Goodness knows I've needed it myself.

[As she settles back...]

I thought there may be others among us who did as well, so I thought I would offer. I've doctorates in psychology and psychiatry, and several years of practical experience.

[The slightest hesitation, ingrained and instinctive.]

In the interest of full disclosure, I am a telepath. I do not, however, like to probe minds without permission. Whether you would like it to be part of your sessions is entirely up to your discretion.

[ So there's this girl chilling out on some rock outside right now. She ventured out a little to try to get an idea of where she is, but... ]

As unlikely as this is, I have to ask- Did I timeslide in my sleep? [ She looks around warily at the landscape. She looks a little confused, but mostly annoyed as she addresses the video again. ] Not that I can without a time device of some sort, but this looks like the places I grew up in.

[ A pause. ]

Or did Bete Noire get a remodel while I was away? [ Because that's the only other option here really.

Behind her a large dog pops up to nuzzle at her, making her nearly fall and drop the communicator as she tries to shove it off a bit. Just enough so that she doesn't fall before she's reaching out to hug the big ball of fur. ] I'm leaning towards nuclear apocalypse in Bete Noire that somehow The Dog survived right now.

Anyone want to give me the real details? Thanks.

[Well, this would mark the first time this Charles had used his device to actually try to broadcast to the others trapped here with him.

For the most part he's been down in the Vault of Knowledge and yes, he's been down there for days upon days reading.

It is just recently that he's surfaced to get clean, find a little bit of food, though that had not been a priority with him and poke around a bit. Today, his curiosity had taken him out of the old city and off on a bit of a look about.

Translation, he's gotten himself hopelessly lost.

So the video. It clicks on, to show a Charles Xavier who looks a bit bedraggled with a leaf or two in his hair and caught on his sweater but otherwise he seems just perplexed rather than frightened or dismayed. The foliage appears dense around him but there is the definite sound of fresh running water in the background, most likely the Silver River.

He'll keep this short and to the point.]

Ah, I apologize for this, embarrassing really but I rather fear I have gone and gotten myself lost.

Does anyone know if the rivers lead back to the Old City?

[He'd try to get back to the Old City by following your thoughts but he is close enough to the dome that the non distinct hum of the minds within, combined with the din of thoughts coming from the Old City itself, are throwing him off.]

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-]

[locked to shepard]

Thank you.

lehnsherr

[it's automatic now; to make a call out that's meant only for a certain telepaths mind. a yell of tell me you're back. tell me you can hear me. please, before it's gone completely. his mind wiping blank in a way that only a person who spent half their lives around telepaths would know how to do

now, he turns his attention to his network device. it's different to his last one, but similar enough that he has no trouble navigating his way through it. the draw of the ship is too strong for him to leave the area yet. so when the video cuts in, the metal hull, gleaming in the sun, is all too clear]

Glory. If this is your doing, congratulations. You got me.

[his face may look familiar, but there are differences there. his hair is slightly longer, styled differently. he seems more relaxed than his other self. even his voice differs slightly. the undercurrents of german are less pronounced. but it's still clear that he's spent a lot of time speaking another language entirely. (hebrew, to those who can tell).]

We've already discussed this, so if you wouldn't mind, I have work to do.

[he adds a ping here to the few people he cares about; to hope summers, snape, caffrey. even givens gets a message sent through. but they're all bouncing back, and that leaves him...confused. annoyed. angry]

Will someone tell me what's going on here? Is this the city playing tricks again, or...

[there's some muttering under his breath then; hebrew now. if anyone listens closely enough, they may register the word ha-satan amongst it all. yes, he's talking about that satan]

I want answers. Now.

ooc; to you pesky telepaths: you're welcome to pick up on that first message. he knows how to project his thoughts well enough to make it rise above the usual surface thoughts people have. he just can't direct it to one person :|b

calmyourmind

Has anyone from outside ever seen the inside of the domes? Do we know how many people are inside them?

[If someone could get out, then there had to be a way in. Charles was sure of that. Nem had said 'slipped through the cracks' and now he was wondering if that might not be more literal than he had originally thought. He should have gone and had a chat with Ezekiel but the poor boy looked so weak and ill, perhaps it was time to try and find some answers of his own.]

//Private - Erik//

What would you say to a bit of exploring, my friend?

radars

This fog is really quite pervasive, isn't it? Seems as though it's been here forever. In your lungs every time you breathe. Hulking and lingering and always there, even if you don't think about it. Off there in the distance, worrying everyone, as it's where we've come from, and that makes it quite important. I'm fairly sure its name is Salvation. Isn't that interesting? I wonder what it's Salvation from.

Speaking of, we could probably use some salvation from the fog. How long has it been here? I've forgotten. It's very hard to hold onto details in the fog, and it's very hard to hold onto sights. It's like all the buildings have grown farther apart.

Where is everyone? Have you noticed there's an awful lot of fog?

radars

[ Locked to Erik Lensherr ]

I don't suppose I have a right to ask for this, given how I've treated you since we've both awakened.

But. Do you think we could wipe the slate clean?

[ Locked to Shepard ]

Should we speak?

[ Telepathic broadcast / significantly later ]

ooc ; If you'd like your character to feel this, assume they get slammed by it; if you would rather them not, assume that Charles' mind skipped over theirs somehow and only hit a portion of the population.

[ Early afternoon on Thursday, particularly psychically susceptible people might suddenly feel an agonizing, splitting pain down the center of their skull. Psychic overload, if any of them have experienced it before, drowning in a stream of information too much for one person to handle.

Brief impressions: the ship, no, the other ship, go back for them, four more, woke them up, the first, the first.

The contact cuts off as abruptly as it was made. ]

radars

[ In reference to this ooc post: Charles is still broadcasting feelings of hope/encouragement/keep calm and carry on. This post may be used for all psychics who want to attempt to telepathically respond to the feelings, and reach out towards the source.

Please note the date when you tag; this broadcasting has been going on for almost a week now, and has been steadily and slowly/subtly declining in strength. By today, it's barely noticeable; by tomorrow, it will be gone. ]

These collars, from the ... Outer Authorities, is it?

What is their function, exactly? Does anyone know how they're made?

Or. How they can be removed?

[ Locked to Edmund (NPC), also open to Raven ]

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. ]
