Who: Charles Xavier + You
Broadcast: Video
Action: SS Heron
When: Right now!
[ The video starts with Charles sitting on his wheelchair, his hands neatly folded on his lap. He rubs faint circles on his legs for a few seconds, the only real sign of tension. ]
Hello. My names is Charles Xavier. I am a geneticist graduated from Oxford. I -- [ ran ] -- run a school in Westchester for the Gifted. Mutants. People with abilities. My focus is the training and control of abilities we do not always fully understand, abilities that are gifts but can often run amok.
[ He pauses, catching his second wind before continuing on, poised. ]
I am also a telepath with a full set of abilities in aiding the mind and extremely . . . proficient. I do not read minds without permission, because honestly, I really don't care.
[ Charles pauses again, wondering if he should say more and dismisses it. People can ask him if they need details - which they will. ]
If anyone would like to make use of my abilities and skills, they are certainly most welcome to. Confidentiality, of course, is key and you need not make anything public if you do not wish to. If you have any questions for me, the floor is open for you.

Re: video
Honestly, my powers have a lot of applications. You could say I'm an extremely effective therapist. Things like amnesia, neurosis, mental disorders are fairly easy to navigate. Of course, it depends on the mind itself.

Thank you.

I thought you were kind of uncomfortable with people knowing all that.
Re: video
I am. But if I'm going to advocate for my school, I need to set an example.
[ The number of requests, for help have only grown and Charles couldn't - wouldn't deny people a chance of getting the help they need. ]

[ Charles. That sort of ability Eris has only ever seen in the hands of a God; for a mortal to have it, subject to all those whims and desires and delicious regrets. That's just fun waiting to happen. ]
But reading minds isn't all you do, is it?
[ If he thinks the strange voice knowing, he isn't mistaken or paranoid. Eris does know, more than he'd like. ]

No, it is not. But I made my intentions clear.

One of my teammates back home said that trying to keep her mind entirely to herself was like keeping her hands balled into fists constantly. Another woman I knew well with less tradional psionic powers didn't have that problem. Which is it for you?
Re: Video; private
It's like being on an island. My power - more than anyone else's - is about connection. I can connect to every living being on the planet. Their pain is my pain. Their loss is my loss. There's no . . . distinction. No lines drawn.
I don't know if I was meant to be alone in my head. I never can be, not really. But the silence, that emptiness is always there.

Thank you for the offer. I've spoken with Wanda and she's quite eager to meet someone else with a similar power.
She's also asked me to join you two, if you don't mind. If it will make you feel more comfortable, I am willing to let my mind be open be open for the exercise; I have nothing to hide.
Re: video; private
Certainly. You don't have to if you don't want to.

If you don't mind me asking, just curious, but if you don't always fully understand the ability, do you have a general idea of how to safely learn to control an ability?
[Because he's found ignoring it and pretending abilities don't exist being the best way to deal with it.
