Is anyone going to explain who the hell dropped in Xavier's Institute but forgot to bring along - what, literally any mutant?

( most people might start with a hello. julian just starts with a finger pointing back at the manor off behind him. )

Or, fine, anyone but Jean. ( because he's only half counting her as is. )

Mutant? ...For research?

[He looks a little worried about that idea...]

[vexant]

No. Mutants. Evolved humans.

No research allowed outside of Beast's lab and shit kind of mutant institute.

[The girl in the video instantly perks up. Sorry, she's in the middle of eating an entire plate of pancakes in one sitting at the diner, but she can't not respond.]

I'm a mutant.

[... But she should probably help him out a little more:]

There were many more mutants before; a lot of them left.

[vexant]

( abandoning a job without finishing it is just like most the original x-men crew, so julian isn't surprised.

still an asshole move though. )

Yeah? You don't look like any mutant I know. ( laura's a common name, and it's - been a minute, since he's seen her. ) But it's not like I hang out with the kindergarten classes anyway.

[ There's a redheaded teen trying to get a better view of the school. No one would explain what's happened to the school to him. ]

Someone brought the whole school here?? Is everyone all right?

[vexant]

School's empty, Jay. It's just you, me, and -

( laura, shoving her face full of pancakes. he'll get back to that later. )

The tike. There's no more sign of a fight than there usually is around school, so I doubt everyone was offed in the process of bringing it here.

What does the Institute do to make it so important to need a particular kind of person to inhabit it?

[vexant]

What's it to you?

[codicies]

Sounds to me like the school belongs to you now.

[vexant]

It's got the Danger Room fully equipped, if you want to fuck around.

what is the

problem
with having
no
mutants
??

[No mutants is good. No mutants means no Chaos corruption or heresy.]

[ He's figured out video, and he's sticking with it. Whatever happened to Myspace? ]

I can't tell if you mean that as a genuine question or not.

[ Jay looks cautious, but this is probably more polite than whatever Julian is about to say. ]

yo what the fuck???

what a stupid, bullshit question
do you want to die?

un: LethalProtector | voice

[decodex]

Yeah, on the subject of institutes…

Is anyone here getting an education? Like, anyone? Did every child essentially drop out of school upon arrival?

[vexant]

That's what happens when you get dragged into saving the world.

[hasitsthorns]

Storm was here when I first showed up, but- She disappeared a couple of months after.

I think she was the one who brought it here. We even had a pool party there.

[ Gods, that seems so long ago now. ]

[vexant]

Then she fucked off to leave us to deal with it. Fantastic.

If it helps, I think it's more like a copy of the place? They didn't literally warp the building here.

[vexant]

Considering this one blew up a while ago, I'd kinda figured as much.

Not Here.

[levindicated]

[a profoundly deep, gravelly voice comes on after the sound of a long exhale.]

Well.There used to be a whole lot of them, near as I can tell. Where they ultimately went… I wish I knew.

Ororo was here one day, then gone the next.

[vexant]

She'll come back. She wouldn't just leave all this crap here. Especially with Jean still around.

un: blackcat | video

[catsclaws]

Xavier's is here?

[ And Jean? But no other mutants, it sounds like. She smiles at an amusing thought. ]

Normally, they wouldn't let me in there. Maybe I can finally look around.

[vexant]

I'm right here. You realize that, yeah? What makes you think I'm going to let you in?

waayyy late. Audio!

[miniroth]

[EVENTUALLY, maybe a good hour after all this went and exploded. Whoever this is he sounds .. older than he is by a fair bit actually, and extremely hesitant.

It's pretty obvious it's a sensitive subject, by how it's gone in all of these messages til now.]

In the context being used here, just to be sure, 'mutants' are ... naturally evolved with abilities and strengths the average person would call superhuman? They're not designed that way?

[vexant]

( since when did it become his job to educate people? man. )

Mutants are born with the X-gene, which occurs naturally, yeah. You're thinking of mutates. Mutates were exposed to something to give them superhuman capabilities.
