[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]

I have. [That was a trip. He will not be illustrating his silent freak out or his follow up amazement. THIS IS STILL A PRISON.] Maybe we' just very far away.

[Private]

It's not an ability, it's a part of me! Talk to your employer, Charles. Tell him this isn't acceptable. [He does not. Actually. Expect anything to come from this. :c]

That doesn't explain why we can breathe. Unless there's something on the ship producing atmosphere and containing it.

[Private]

I will, Erik, but I can't promise you we'll get the results you're hoping for. [Well. At least you're being realistic. :c]

You find that more difficult than 'we've been brought together with people from other worlds?' [Come on now Charles. :|]

[Private]

[Fuck you fuck the Admiral fuck everything. :c] I won't be a prisoner again.

I didn't say I found it more difficult, it's just another scientific impossibility we're being asked to accept.

[Private]

It isn't going to be the same, Erik. [Because he knows what you're equating this to. :c] These people mean well, and they don't understand where you're coming from.

The Reich meant well too, Charles, and look what happened.

This isn't the same situation.

Of course not. Here they'd rather convince me that I'm dead.

But you aren't. Teleporting off the beach shouldn't have killed you, Azazel brought others with him plenty of times without it affecting them.

I know that. [Don't change the subject. >|]

[Sigh.] Has anyone told you about the supernatural events, yet?

These 'floods' I've read about?

Yes. They sound - [Awful, interesting, why is there no scientific explanation for any of this.] Strange.

We're not the only ones with abilities. [He isn't sure mutant is the correct term for some of the people he's seen thus far, but.]

You're putting things lightly again, Charles.

I'm aware. [Not telling you who he's been talking to, though. :V]

[WELL HE'S ASKING ANYWAY SO.] Who have you spoken to?

Several people. [Stop prying >|]

[Damn it Erik HE'S JUST CURIOUS, HE'S NOT EXPECTING YOU'RE ALREADY PLANNING TO ESCAPE.] Such as?

[WELL HE IS OKAY] It's an enclosed place, Charles. Look around. There aren't many people I won't meet.

[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. :\]

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

Exactly my point.

Then I don't think you have to be afraid of my suddenly ignoring your existence.

Good. [He considers reemphasizing that he does really want to help him, but. If he doesn't realize that, telling him again isn't going to help anything, so. :\]

[Probably a good idea to avoid that. :c] I suppose this is where I say I'll see you around. [All the irony in his voice. All of it. :c]

If you ever need anything... [Right next door. :c]

I'll keep you in mind. [WAS THAT A JOKE maybe a small one. He's letting his lips quirk wryly before reaching out to shut his feed. So much to think about. :c]
