[Private to Tony, backdated to the end of the flood]

I'm afraid I'm going to need my wheelchair back, Mr. Stark.

[Private to Morgana, present dated]

Are you alright?

[Private to Erik, present dated]

I'd like to speak with you, please. [He doesn't sound angry or disappointed or too depressed, really, he just wants to talk to you re: his encounter with Wanda during dat flood. :|]

[Public, present dated]

[Charles has holed himself up in his room with a couple books for a while, because man, that flood was intense and he needs a break from everyone. :| But he's had some time to wind down and feels like saying something, so, good afternoon, everyone.] I've always enjoyed watching people try to put science in perspective to things that are a bit easier for most people to wrap their mind around. It grounds it, and does make it a bit more approachable for those with only a casual interest in the subject.

Because while I could bore you all for hours with scientific jargon, it never hurts to have a few interesting factoids on hand to catch people's interest instead of just letting them drift off to sleep in the back of the classroom wishing they were still enjoying their lunch period.

For example, while there are differences in the total number of cells in a human body, the number should be around 100,000 billion, and if the entire DNA from all nuclei in the human body were to be arranged lengthwise, it would measure around 180,000 million kilometers. The DNA length would thus be a thousand times greater than the distance between the Earth and the Sun.

It's interesting to think about, that within each of us, there's something that - in theory, obviously - could stretch that far. [He's quiet for a moment, almost a little distracted or maybe considering switching off the feed before continuing.] If anyone has some interesting facts they'd be in the mood for sharing about their own world, I'd appreciate it. It doesn't have to be about science if there's something they'd rather discuss.
wecanavenge: (There's an angel on my shoulder)

[There are a lot of things they aren't quite saying, aren't there? Erik just nods at that, and let's the silence stretch.]

How was she?
wecanavenge: (You can't feel the heat until you hold)

Re: [Private]

[personal profile] wecanavenge 2012-07-29 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
I know. [And he falls silent for a moment, frustrated.] She won't let me help. It's as if, no matter how many times we discuss it, she only sees him when she looks at me.
wecanavenge: (You're entitled to that opinion)

[Private]

[personal profile] wecanavenge 2012-07-29 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
[That gets a bark of a laugh that isn't really amused. Good call going for Raven instead of Shaw though, srsly. :c]

I suppose. [But he's still frustrated.]
wecanavenge: (Once there was something like peace)

[Private]

[personal profile] wecanavenge 2012-07-29 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
I didn't. [A shrug.] At first, at least. It was too insane - I can't have a daughter, not that age.

But after Sanitarium Island...[He trails off, because Charles knew his history there as well as he does. Memories of actually HAVING a daughter changed things.]
wecanavenge: (Because I still am and I still do)

[Erik just shakes his head sharply, eyes fixed on something in the middle-distance, like he's not really seeing anything a round him. And he isn't; he's focusing on the past, instead.]

No. After we escaped - there was a moment, when I thought Magda and I would have a life--

[But he'd been so consumed by his rage and his need for revenge, and she hadn't been like him. She couldn't even understand what it was to be like him: a freak. A mutant. And he couldn't stay with her.]
wecanavenge: (I'm formulating a plan. You won't like i)

[Private]

[personal profile] wecanavenge 2012-07-29 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
No. [He's thought about it, but. It's a little frightening okay. He isn't sure he wants to know, but at the same time...well.] Do you know? [Whether he asked or checked, Erik doesn't really care.]
wecanavenge: (I suppose you have a point)

[Private]

[personal profile] wecanavenge 2012-07-29 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
Bare minimum, really. Apparently if we ever run into a mutant named Apocalypse, we're to stay well back.
wecanavenge: (mutant and proud)

[Private]

[personal profile] wecanavenge 2012-07-29 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
Chaos and destruction. There weren't very many details.
wecanavenge: (It dosen't look that way to me)

[Private]

[personal profile] wecanavenge 2012-07-29 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
[A sharp laugh.] I'm quite certain I hate them.
wecanavenge: (yes Raven it's Magneto are you happy)

[Private]

[personal profile] wecanavenge 2012-07-29 03:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[He's silent for a moment, because yes - the Erik of Wanda's world was an asshole and he wants to be nothing like him. And the Magneto from Pyro's world hadn't accomplished anything, in all the time he'd had.

Erik didn't intend to sit back for fifty years, if he ever got out of here.]


We will.
wecanavenge: (The fuck is happening here)

[Private]

[personal profile] wecanavenge 2012-07-29 11:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[Welp. News to him.]

What?
wecanavenge: (And like a single domino)

[Private]

[personal profile] wecanavenge 2012-07-30 06:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Do you even know who?
