Class 3 - [Voice/Action]
[ Voice; ]
[ Raven starts out the post reading from something rather than speaking casually. ]
"To Homo neanderthalensis, his mutant cousin, Homo sapiens, was an aberration. Peaceful cohabitation if ever it existed, was short-lived. Records show, without exception, that the arrival of the mutated human species in any region was followed by the immediate extinction of their less-evolved kin."
I went to the library for a cookbook and instead I get this. My brother's thesis that he submitted to Oxford to get his doctorate. It's a real boring read but I figure it might be something scientists here might be interested in. It's about genetic mutation in... in humans.
[ Her voice is a bit tight as she trails off for a moment before continuing. ]
Hell, even if you need a something to get you to sleep and not dream about anything it's pretty useful. It's called Theories on Genetic Mutation by Charles Xavier.
[ Action ]
[ After making her post to the network Raven goes on a few errands to keep herself distracted from the tug of homesickness in the pit of her stomach. The reminder that it's been months and she hasn't seen a single face from home. She stops at both the bakery and grocery store to pick up some groceries.
Later on the evening she'll be at HQ, not working for once but sitting at the bar. She isn't in the mood to dance but staying in her apartment alone isn't working for her at the moment. She'll be nursing a few drinks inside before finally giving up and sitting outside. ]

[ She'd gotten enough responses about to make her figure that was his purpose. People knew Charles, they always did it seemed. ]

Ignore the fuzzy icon above.]Now that sounds like something he would do. Even in my time... he's taking in people who need help. [But that leaves more unanswered questions. Like... is she a mutant?] So you and him must go way back...
[He tries searching his memory, but he can't think of anyone she could be. Then again, he knows virtually nothing about his family and his old friends being Magneto.]
[Action]
And you called him Professor, right? He's always had a thing for teaching people.
[Action]
You're right about that. That thing for teaching people isn't going anywhere. He's gonna be like - The Teacher. Especially when it comes to mutantkind.
[Action]
...So that means you're- [ She bites down the word freak. She's the freak, Kurt probably has some harmless mutation. ] Different. Like him.
[Action]
[Action]
[Action]
That sounds like the way to go. [He rubs at his wrist near his image inducer.] I guess I should tell you... what kind of mutant, huh?
[Action]
[ She was supposed to be past this. Erik had understood even if Charles and Hank wanted to hide. ]

[That decides it. So he reaches for his image inducer.]
I'm sorry... This just might be a shock.
[And he turns it off.]
[Action]
Ta-da?

Then the image of him flickers into something else and she takes a step back before she can help it. Not because of what he looks like but who he looks like. ]
[Action]
Azazel-
[Action]
Or maybe the fear is like what he would have originally expected. But the name definitely isn't. He starts to lean towards her for comfort but he stops himself.]
I'm- No, it's... I'm Kurt. I'm still Kurt.
[Action]
You just look like him. He was red but... a lot like you. [ The memory still hurts because all those men died. Darwin died. ] Except he was bad, really bad.
[Action]
hey that last one was kevin bacon]I'm sorry to hear that. [Something about that sends a chill down his spine.] He sounds like... real bad company. It's never really helped me that I look like a devil...
[Action]
[ She forces a smile because Kurt doesn't deserve those associations in her head. ]
And you don't look like a devil to me. You're too... fluffy.
[Action]
Thanks, Raven. That means a lot. I try to be a fuzzball more than anything else.

[ She releases a breath and the first thing to change are eyes from blue to yellow with her odd speckled black pupil. Then her skin ripples as her scales reabsorb the skin and return to her true skin color. ]
[Action]
This is the real me, no masks.
