TWENTY ONE ✖ VOICE
[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.

[Private]
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.]
[Private]
His next question is gentle and cautious, because man seriously do you even want to know. :|] Have you asked her who her mother is?
[Private]
[Private]
[Private]
[Private]

[Private]
[And again he hesitates, because he almost wants to confide in him that sometimes he's entirely overwhelmed by the idea of what they were supposed to do. There were so many possible futures and all of them seemed distinctly bad, and he'd just been a irresponsible ass working to get his doctorate less than a year ago. He'd never anticipated things working out like this.
But it's strange being vulnerable around Erik, and he doesn't like it, so he holds himself back from now.] I'm still not sure how I feel about the sneak previews of our potential futures we've been getting.
[Private]
[Private]
[Private]
Erik didn't intend to sit back for fifty years, if he ever got out of here.]
We will.
[Private]
I hope so. I can't say I've liked anything I've heard. [Ever, at all, which is sort of making the I want to go home difficult to cope with in terms of ahaha our lives are so fucking terrible.] John informed me in his world, one of my future students kills me.
[Private]
What?
[Private]
I didn't want to ask for more details.
[Private]
[Private]
[Private]
I trust you'll at least keep that name in mind.
[Private]
If she ever does turn up here, she might not be the same person. We can't anticipate the worst of everyone the way Wanda's been doing with us.
[Private]
[Private]
I'll be careful.
[Private]
I suppose that'll have to be good enough.
[Private]
If I could promise you things won't go terribly wrong, I would.
[Private]
Let's not get carried away.
