[The video clicks on, and Erik is sitting at his desk, looking calm, but angry. He might start shouting, he might have a reasonable debate. It's hard to tell. He folds his hands on the desk top, and leans toward the camera.]

My name is Erik Lensherr. [Reasonable debate it seems, but there's a challenge in his face, his eyes, his voice as he goes on:] I am a mutant. I am a Jew. [He pauses for a fraction of an instant, like he's daring anyone to say anything. The instant passes, and his jaw tightens.]

I will not be remaining in your prison. You will release me, or we'll have a problem, you and I. Is that clear?

[He reaches off to the side, out of frame, and when his hands come back into view, he's lowering his helmet onto his head. (Still silver, he didn't have time to make it fabulous.)] And Charles? I hope you don't plan to spend your time here blending in. [Guilty spite. Sorry bro. :c]

Have you seen what a telepath can do?

[So lies and meaningless gestures. Nothing to fear there, so long as they can't completely remove his mutation. The names get filed away for later recruitment.]

Has working alone been successful here?

[wecanavenge]

No, you're more. Don't group yourself with people who are below you.

[wecanavenge]

When?

[wecanavenge]

You're wearing my patience.

[yeahscience]

So that's a "yeah," then.

[ichoosefight]

Good. Maybe once we get that nonsense out of the way we'll find your funny bone.

[captain_jtkirk]

2260.

Oh, I know that other people are beneath me, I may still be technically human, but I am aware of that.

[Private] why do you hate me when I show you nothing but love

[wedonot]

[DAMN IT ERIK. :\

Alright, he's just kind of doing a mental sigh and trying not to roll his eyes.] Yes, it is. And I'd prefer it if we didn't have to resort to pretending the other doesn't exist.

[We can still be on the same side here. :\]

On reflection, I don't believe it ever will. If I had the full extent of my abilities, perhaps...but the extent of the wardens' control would be difficult to overcome nonetheless.

So that will be the stuck here forever route.

[yourunichase]

Two and a half years. More than. And I was an inmate for eighteen months.

[creatingalegacy]

Two years, give or take.

[surfaceshine]

Sure. [With how bright that answer is, it could only be called a chirp. =/]

I just wanted to see what all the fuss was about. Nice hat.

[Private] BecauseI have deep rooted issues

[wecanavenge]

That would be hard to do, with you living next door.

[wecanavenge]

And in two years, they've turned a self-proclaimed murderer and torturer into a better person.

You'll see why I don't believe any of this.

[wecanavenge]

Rehabilitation happens very quickly here. [NOT BUYING WHAT YOU'RE SELLING.]

[wecanavenge]

That's a 'yeah.'

I've found recently that you can accomplish more with like minded individuals than you can by yourself. [And how it falls apart when you realize you're of very different minds, but.]

I've only found eight floors of cabins. There can't be many people here, ultimately.

[Video | Private]

[wecanavenge]

Then don't let them pity you.

[wecanavenge]

[WHAT THE FUCK.] And you don't know what a mutant is?

[CHARLES IF YOU WON I SWEAR TO GOD.....]

Private

[wecanavenge]

That doesn't fit into my plans.

One hundred and sixty at full capacity, which we haven't yet reached. Wardens tend to outnumber inmates at any given time.

[wecanavenge]

[Aaaand Erik is clicking off. No patience for annoying blondes, sorry Steph. :c]
