[The feed clicks on to reveal a blonde teenager instead of Charles, who straightens the camera out once she realizes it's working and smiles maybe a little nervously at it, mostly because all of this is really, really weird and she's not really sure what to expect.

Also these journals are way more advanced than things from 1962, so there's that fun little hurdle too.]

Um, hi! I'm Raven, I guess I'm here for my brother, Charles?

[She sounds maybe a little unsure, but she's skimmed through the network a tiny bit and this seems like the sort of thing people would post about, so she's just going to go with it.]

I don't really know what he's doing on a prison ship. I mean, the work you guys do sounds nice and everything, but I'd never really thought of him going into psychiatry on a space ship. [Which just tops the weird charts, in her book if we're really being serious here.] He's too much of an old fart to do anything that interesting. [Teasing.]

Anyway, I don't know how long I'm going to be here, but if anyone's looking for him, I can probably take a message.

[ooc: Replies will be coming from

youronlyfriend. Raven's from before shit gets real in Cuba, but after they've moved into the X-Mansion. Her enhanced speed/strength/stamina has been dampened by the Barge and she can only keep up her normal blonde morph for any substantial period of time, otherwise she's blue. She'll probably switch to voice if the dampening affect kicks in and she loses the morph.]

[Have a surprisingly gentle looking woman with her long brown hair hanging loose-trying unsuccessfully to figure out the buttons.]

Who knows why brothers do anything am I right? Is your brother a psychiatrist?

No, he's a professor. Or I guess he will be, once he has a classroom and some people to teach. [Do we count the training them how to use their powers and stuff as teaching/classrooms? It's not exactly lecturing about genetics, which was what he was supposed to be doing so. Raven's just going with that.]

Oh! A professor! [excitement? Yeah. She likes teachers and teaching.] What does he teach?

Genetics and human evolution, I guess. Once he actually gets a job.

The economy's apparently complete and utter shit for university jobs. [commiserating.]

High School teaching's wide open though. I know, I mean. [and have a delicate laugh] that's what I do.

That's cool. What do you teach?

High School English in New York City.

[pause]I never had a head for science. That was my brother.

[Her face sets in a disapproving look for a moment before she shakes it off.] What do you do?

[Said somewhere between self depreciating and actually trying to joke about it:] Waitressing. Are you here for your brother?

Hey don't knock it. My brother was a waiter. [beat] at least that's what he'll tell you when in reality he worked for Macdonalds.

[And there is another disapproving look.] yes. He's an inmate. and a moron.

[Oh. What do you even say to that. :c]

I'm sorry.

Why?

[She shakes her head] It's...complicated.

[And having the sense that she ruined something, Angelina rubs at her head] ...It's not like it's your fault.

[and then there's a little lost sound, a squeak.] Or mine.So! We move on. Do you like being a waitress?

Not really. I don't really know what else I'd do, though.

[Being a government agent had seemed kind of cool before she realized how everyone still treated her like a freak. And before Darwin and all those agents had died because of Shaw. Also they're not exactly great about hiring women, so.]

Do whatever makes YOU happy.

[long pause] I mean I don't suggest teaching unless people really like kids or have a high tolerance for strenuous keeping up with people's bullshit, but "doing what makes you happy" is a good answer because if you're happy-you have everything you need.

[What she leaves out is that if you're happy and you have everything you need then you will be less inclined to take from others. At least that's what she's found.]

Yeah, I mean, I guess I'll figure something out.

Hey. Your brother's a teacher. I mean that's a good role model right?

[she laughs.] I'm sorry, It gets hard to slip out of teaching mode. I tend to treat everybody like one of my high school kids.

It's okay, I'm just not sure I'd make a great teacher.
