[ A knock on his head, polite request. ]

[heavymetals]

[ How nice of him. ]

Charles. What is it?

[thetruefocus]

I wanted to let you know that our theory was correct and other mutants have arrived. Logan, but two others, Scott and Rogue. I believe you already know about Raven.

Logan is the one we knew, but the other two have only met the older you.

Just so he knows ICly!

[thetruefocus]

[ A polite knock on his head and this time Charles comes in without waiting. ]

I'm informing you that Raven is gone, returned to where she is from, no doubt. I've searched everywhere for her and there is no question.

[ Charles is deeply upset about it and already drinking, but there's nothing to be done. ]

[heavymetals]

[ Literally having just gotten his body back to normal days ago— it really seems this place won't let them catch a break.

He could say 'I'm sorry', but it feels like it would be empty of meaning and feeling both, so instead: ]

Do you want me there or would you rather be alone?

[thetruefocus]

Alone, thank you.

after talking to charles⟢

[carmesi]

you told charles about me.

( ...and because she's not actually upset about it, but figures it won't translate to text properly, she adds: )

i'm not angry about it.

[heavymetals]

We spoke of you, yes.

[ And since she follows that by reassuring him she's not mad, he figures that Charles must have told her at least some of the context of their conversation. ]

I trust Charles implicitly, and there's nothing I would not share with him. Nevertheless, that may have led to me sharing more about you than you might have been comfortable with. I'm sorry.

[carmesi]

i said i'm not angry about it.

( because the apology is unnecessary from him, she thinks. )

he called you a leader in the mutant community.
very important of you.

there are many of you here ?

[thetruefocus]

[ A knock on his head, but he doesn't wait for permission these days.]

I met John. He told me I have an evil biological sister.

[heavymetals]

[ Just give him a moment here, he needs to digest that information. ]

I'm sorry, what?

[ The emphasis on 'biological' helps, just so Erik knows it's not Raven. ]

[thetruefocus]

A twin sister and apparently depending on the timeline we kill each other in the womb.

Hi.
Do you wanna go get lunch sometime?

[heavymetals]

Hello, Laura.

Of course, whenever you like. I can move my work around as needed. Do you have a place in mind?

[valle]

I might know a place.
How do you feel about noodles?

text⟢

[carmesi]

can i ask you two questions ?

a minute later

[carmesi]

that one doesn't count.

[heavymetals]

[ He was about to tease her about it, so good thing she adds that disclaimer. ]

Hello, Wanda. Go on.

telepathic knock

[thetruefocus]

I'm going to tell Scott.

[heavymetals]

I should probably prepare myself for the next time we meet, then.

Will you let me know how it goes?

[thetruefocus]

No this is the one thing I'm going to keep from you. [ Sarcasm. Lovingly.]

start of february˖

( wanda had complained to the manager of the motel, and the response she got was 'wait 6-7 days for the repairman' and 'you could always go somewhere else'. as usual, the attitude is never quite the most proactive. she doesn't want to go anywhere else, though, because she stubbornly wants to be close to sunday (but not too close) for her own comfort. alternatively, she could always ask on the forum for help, or...

she could text erik. she pauses pressing the down button on her phone when she reaches his contact. he did say he'd be there for her, and wanda — well, his presence would be a balm under the current circumstances.

super casually, )

hello (˶˃⤙˂˶)
i have a question for you. do you know someone who can fix windows?

[heavymetals]

[ When Erik told her that he'd be here for whatever she might need, the sentiment definitely extended to this. So of course that her message is more than welcome, and he doesn't take much time at all in texting back. ]

Hello, Wanda.

I should be able to help. What happened to your window?

[ It'd be helpful to know if he's dealing with broken glass, of if it's an issue with the locks or the frame. ]

[thetruefocus]

Ororo's gone.

[heavymetals]

I didn't know. I'm sorry.

Can I do anything?

[ Not related to Ororo's departure, necessarily. He just knows how much of a toll it takes on Charles to lose people. It's not been the first time in this place either. ]
