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.

Really? My experiences usually say otherwise when it comes to telepathy, but people need any help they can get.

well i mean

you're the first person i've seen offering something similar to therapy and god knows most people here probably need it

I have noticed that.

But I have an edge when it comes to therapy.

do tell

I believe I already did. Plus, I can change the nature of a disorder.

in the same "i can't explain it but it just works" way?

There isn't a real science when I go into someone's head.

well obviously but i assumed it would fall into the gray area between "not scientific" and "idk how it works at all"

[ Hm. Good question. ]

I could show it, but I probably can't explain it. Every person's mind is different. Unique.

really? it's all the same circuitry

Yes, but the mind itself, the way a person thinks or feels is still very unique to them.

seems pretty optimistic to me

In what sense?

the "whole everyone is unique and special!" thing you have going on

i don't think most people are either of those things

Well I have an advantage when it comes to people and the mind.

But I've never met two minds that are alike. Hence my perspective on the matter.
