[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.]

[Ssssssssssssssssigh.] It's complicated.

Apparently. [:\]

... Why is there a wheelchair in his room?

[....Get out of the room, Raven, get out now.]

Stop asking questions, Raven. Have you seen the deck yet?

[SO SUBTLE. Also that helmet looks fine the way it is, don't spray paint it magenta.]

No.

[SO SUBTLE he doesn't care. ...And it makes me sad that he has to be talked out of that. :c]

Meet me there.

[It makes everyone sad, look what you've done, Erik.

But alright, Raven leaves Charles's room and heads for the deck, once again blonde and not blue even though swapping back and forth is taking more out of her than it should, and she just feels a little... lethargic. But the deck is still really impressive and kind of startling, and once she can tear her eyes away from the open space around them looks around for Erik.]

[He's waiting by the rail, faintly disappointed that she's hiding again. Well more than faintly, but he hasn't convinced her yet, when she's from.] Here, [he calls, waiting.]

[She turns towards him and after hesitating a moment - between the helmet and the wheelchair and he's an inmate here, she almost isn't sure this is the same man she knows back home - walks over to him, smiling a little shyly.]

Hi.

Hello. [He looks at her, taking in the blond hair and blue eyes that she's so fond of, that he probably won't admit to disliking so much because it reminds him of Nuremberg. Instead of commenting, he reaches out to push some of that blond over her shoulder, arching an eyebrow. Disapproval, Raven, feel it. But also hey he's playing with your hair, so.]

[Raven blushes a little, flattered by the attention and a little embarrassed and uncertain at the same time, because she knows what Erik's opinion of her 'normal' appearance is, and he's the first person who hasn't been freaked out by what she really looks like. Well, except Charles, sort of, but he didn't count.]

I like your helmet. [It's a little teasing, but not quite as much as it could be.]

It's very useful. [What he is not about making fashion statements, okay, it's not how he rolls.] Why do you insist on walking around like this?

[She frowns a little.] I told you.

I'll ask until you stop wasting energy trying to look like something else. 'Mutant and proud,' wasn't it?
