[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.]

Because he's not my friend. He was my professor.

[youronlyfriend]

Your professor?

[burnitdown]

Former professor I should say. It's been a while since I've actually gone to his school. [He pauses.] Oh, right. You're from back then.

Guess he's not a teacher yet, huh?

[youronlyfriend]

Not really, no. [Does training to go beat up Shaw and his henchmen count? :|a]

What kind of school is it?

[burnitdown]

[Yeah, I'd say that counts :)]

The official title is "Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. Higher Learning" or something. I always thought it was a bit much. Didn't really care to call it that, but man was it programmed into our heads.

How well do you know your brother? [As in, are you aware he's a mutant? As much as John doesn't mind sharing, he's still wary of giving too much away.]

[youronlyfriend]

Pretty well. [She's definitely sensing that secret question there.]

What can you do?

[burnitdown]

My specialty is fire. [A smirk.]

[youronlyfriend]

Your specialty? [Come on, John, you can do better than that.]

[burnitdown]

I can manipulate fire.

[Well, Magneto said to say incognito. Kind of hard though when you first arrive and start threatening people, but still. Eh, oh well. She's aware of mutants, so he'll give.]

[Raven just kind of smirks herself before starting to show off a bit herself. The change is a little bit slower than what John's probably used to, both because she's younger and because the Barge is dampening her abilities, but in a few seconds, Raven's shifted her appearance entirely to look like Charles, who keeps smirking at the camera.]

That's cool.

[Private]

[burnitdown]

[Cool. She can shapeshift. Wait a minute.

Her name is Raven. She can shapeshift. Raven. Shapeshift. Oh my god.]

Mystique?

[Private]

[youronlyfriend]

[And she switches back to her blonde form again, looking at Pyro with surprise.]

Yeah? How did you know that?

[Private]

[burnitdown]

[There's a long silence before John speaks up. No freaking way.] I know you. Know your future self. Like I know your future brother.
