Who: Erik Lehnsherr & anyone
Broadcast: Fleetwide video, unintentional
Action: The Marsiva
When: 26th Feb
[When the feed begins, Erik is already awake. Awake, but not yet moving from the bed. He's holding himself in the kind of intense stillness that preludes a burst of activity. And it comes shortly after, as he rolls swiftly to his feet and surveys the deck. This isn't the mansion, that much is clear. Nor is it part of any realm he's been in that he can tell. His brow furrows as he glares daggers into a featureless wall. While there is nothing of particular interest about it - it's just a wall - he seems to be observing something he finds off-putting about it.
He shakes his head abruptly, a quick jerk of the chin.] No. [With nothing further to say than that, he turns and stalks out of frame, with only a cursory glance at the communicator left behind.
Ten minutes pass, the feed holding on a truly exciting shot of that empty bed and floor.
But soon enough he re-enters the frame, wearing an expression somewhere between frustrated and resigned. This time, he does notice the communicator. After a considering pause, he walks over, reaching out ... and turns it with a finger, pointing the camera at the wall. His voice rings out clearly a moment later.]
If someone is watching, I'd appreciate an explanation. I haven't got much patience for these kinds of games anymore.

He really did.
[ But she's not going to go into too much detail; she's not sure how much Charles would want her to share just as much as she isn't sure that Blade wants to hear anything of it from her, not from his reserved response. ]
That's incredible. It's not even magic, is it, it's just you.

It's as much a part of me as sight and strength. That is what we are, as mutants.
...it is strange though, to hear about other worlds like this. [About Charles's role in another world, where he (maybe?) wasn't present.] I have my own experience with them, but neither were the one you mentioned.

[ That's an old wound she's trying to ignore, and moving on to talk about the Drabwurld is a far nicer topic. ]
The Drabwurld was just a fairytale land, really, with magic and faeries and imps. Charles did really well there, he got his legs back and he survived and fought just as hard as everyone else. That's the place I miss most and when I'm done here, whateve Atroma wants, I want to go back there.

Well, it doesn't sound like anyone's reached that point so far.

[He'll be damned if he's going to be marooned in some other universe forever. Whether there's conditions for 'winning' or not this time, he will find a way.]

Well, thank you for the information. You've given me a lot to think about. [Much of it unrelated to the situation at hand.]

[With that, he shuts off the feed.]
