[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]

Best of luck with the 'making demands' thing. Hasn't worked out yet. For anyone.

[Glance off to the side. That's all he needs to say. No need to keep this video open. EXCEPT... he can't keep his mouth shut sometimes.]

Alright, I have to ask. The fuck is up with the helmet?

[wecanavenge]

It protects me from telepaths. [Like duh, the most obvious thing in the world.]

And that depends on what demands have been made. [And by who. :V]

[likeaprofessional]

... Uh huh. Well that's the strangest thing I've heard this week. [This kinda thing is totally normal by now, nbd.]

Not really. They're all the same to the Admiral. [Pause.] You might get a cookie. If that.

[wecanavenge]

Is that some kind of joke? [He's the opposite of laughing. :c ALL THE GRRR.]

[likeaprofessional]

Which part? The cookie thing? Yeah, it sure as fuck is a joke. The Admiral's kind of humor. Har-dee fucking har. You'll get to used to it.

Or go insane trying. Just how things are around here.

[wecanavenge]

And which are you? [Insane seems like a distinct possibility. :|]
