Nice of the Admiral to renovate the library, greenhouses and pool, but leave us to deal with an invasion of ninjas. It's not like I've been expecting much, with the way you all talk about him and his potential policy of stripping us of our powers without warning, but it does seem a bit counterproductive.

Not that I'm complaining about the changes, mind. I'd just love to get a look into what he's actually thinking.

[Private to Gaeta]

Felix Gaeta? Charles Xavier. We should probably find somewhere to talk.

[Private to Valmont]

Valmont? Charles Xavier. We, ah, spoke briefly, while Shendu was in charge. Are you alright?

[hourglass_twin]

Isn't it obvious what he's thinking? We are entertainment, and the ninjas were quite the show.

[wedonot]

I suppose they were. Still seems a bit silly, to allow someone else to try taking control of your ship for a few days.

[shortsightedlove]

I wonder what would happen if people didn't take care of the problem themselves and left it to him instead. Maybe everyone should have just stayed in their cabins. I imagine he has quite enough of the ship being being taken over.

[wedonot]

He didn't seem all that bothered by it. If he was, I assume the situation would have been resolved much faster.

[shortsightedlove]

I assume there were no danger yet. He would be a fool if he risked anyone actually getting to the bridge again, though.

[ichoosefight]

Maybe he's thinking of starting a career in interior design.

[wedonot]

Again?

[wedonot]

Then he should hand over the job to someone who's actually focused on the well being of his crew members.

[ichoosefight]

He should have done that ages ago.

[wedonot]

Well, obviously.

[ichoosefight]

All I know is, he'd better not make-over my room.

[shortsightedlove]

It happened last year. For a few months actually, although we, of course, only found out during October. I was among those who found him and... I doubt he wishes to repeat the experience. Even the Admiral can't be that mad.

[wedonot]

I would hope not. You found him?

[wedonot]

I was under the impression he left those more or less alone.

[shortsightedlove]

With some others, yes.

[ichoosefight]

With wardens, usually. I've heard of inmates whose rooms weren't what they were expecting.

[hourglass_twin]

But did Shendu ever truly have control of the Admiral's ship? As far as we were concerned he did, but as far as the Admiral was concerned, he still steered the ship, controlled the halls and corridors, could change the very structure at a whim. I'm sure to him, no change in who had control of the ship had ever happened.

[Private, Audio]

[itstopped]

[The audio switches on, but there's a moment of silence before he speaks.]

...Yes, of course. My cabin or yours?

[Private, Audio]

[wedonot]

Do you have a preference?

[wedonot]

That's unfortunate. Do they get a chance to change them?

[wedonot]

Do you remember anything about him?

[Private, Audio]

[itstopped]

Not especially.

Mine isn't very... welcoming, though. [Translation: he hates the fuck out of it. :c]

[wedonot]

Thus why I said he tried.

[Private, Audio]

[wedonot]

[He can read between the lines on that one. :V]

Level five, room eleven. The door's unlocked.

[Private, Audio] -> [Spam!]

[itstopped]

[Another second of hesitation.] ...Yes. I'm just down the hall from you, actually. [And after getting freaked the hell out by Narvin, he's made sure to know who his neighbors are!]

I'll be there soon.

[And true to his word, he's at Charles's door maybe ten minutes later. He knocks once before opening it.] Dr. Xavier?
