[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.]

[Crisis! She can't read! Her eyes widen in panic--and then she blinks. Fortunately she is a very clever girl.] Um...

[The screen blurs as she jumps down and first shows the communicator around the room--a rather posh hotel room, if small, and littered with drawings and paintings in various stages of completion. More blurring as she heads for the door.]

[She has to put the communicator down and use both hands, but she gets the door open and scoops up the communicator. She starts showing around the communicator again, revealing shots of the hallway walls and the door numbers. Third floor.]

I'm here!

Okay, I'll be right there. [And Raven switches off the communicator to head out of Charles's room and find her.

For some reason - meaning because the Barge has put a dampner on her powers - she's feeling a little run down, but it's nothing she can't deal with, so a few minutes later, she's entering the third floor hallway and looking around for the little girl.]

Mischa?

[She stays in the room with the door open, and only peeks out when she hears the call.]

Hi Miss Raven! [She toddles out carrying the communicator and Hannibal's key. Pushing the door closed, she fumbles with the key and drops it.] Oops.

[Raven smiles and walks over to her, again wondering what a kid this young is doing here without anyone keeping an eye on her.]

Hi. [She stoops down to pick up the key and hands it over, staying down more at the little girl's level for the time being so she isn't towering over her.] You want to try to find some lunch?

[She focuses very hard and manages to get the key into the lock and turned. Then slips the key into a pocket of her jumper.]

Yes please, Miss Raven. I'm very hungry.

Alright, come on. There's got to be a kitchen around here somewhere. [She stands up and offers Mischa her hand.] Where are you from, Mischa?

[She takes Raven's hand a little shyly, and toddles along with her.]

My Papa's lands. Our house is Lecter Castle. There's a big forest. But the tanks broke a lot of the trees.

[She's pretty sure the kitchens and dining hall are on the first floor, so she starts heading back towards the stairwell. If she's wrong, they can always ask someone for directions, or ask Erik or something.]

Tanks? [That immediately catches her attention, and she glances down at Mischa with concern.]

Yes. The bad men came in tanks and...um...um...

[what are those things that fly? She makes a flying gesture with her free hand.]

Airplanes? [What on Earth is going on back where you're from. :|]

Airplanes. They're bad. They fall on people.

Yeah. [She opens the door to the stairwell and steps inside, waiting for Mischa to follow before closing it. And changing the subject to something less horrific and sad. :c] You live in a castle?

It is a great wooden castle in the woods--Lecter Castle! We have deer and bunnies and birdies in the woods.

My brother's going to save me, you know.

I know he will. [Hopefully, don't let her down, person she doesn't know at all.] What's your brother like?

Hannibal is very very smart. He protects me. He's going to be the Count. Except he's old now. I think he's a Doctor.

That's good. He probably helps a lot of people.

I don't understand the kind of doctor. But he draws a lot too. [Her tummy rumbles and she blinks down at it.]

I think we're almost there. [And once again she opens the door and holds it open for Mischa, glancing down the hallway to see if she's right.] What are your favorite kind of berries?

I smell chicken! They have chicken! [She almost darts ahead, but realizes that would be a bad girl thing and keeps Raven's hand.]

I like strawberries. They're messy but I like them anyway.
