( When Charles appears on the video screen, he looks happier than ever. Well, happier than... is standard practise, for this place, and especially given his recent interpersonal shenanigans. Still, he's smiling. )

Hello, everyone. I've rather a large request—I will understand if the need does not suit you—but I do hope that you'll hear me out.

I would like to establish a school, here in Exsilium. It would be for everyone, of all ages. I've received permission, and salary funding, from the Initiative, to gather both teachers and students to... ah, well. ( Charles' expression shifts to an apologetic one. ) To help me refurbish this building and make it a proper educational institution.

In the interest of full disclosure, I will let you all know that I've acquired an old building. It's not in the best of shape, and will need to be fixed up—that is where you come in. Soon, I will need teachers; students, too. But for now—for now, all I need is some volunteers to turn this place into a functional establishment.

( Charles presses a button on his netbook, and this picture appears. )

Your help would be incredibly appreciated.

Thank you very much.

that's really the sort of thing you should give more definitive answers to, because i got the idea of it but now i just have all these /ideas about/ it and ideas lead to pestering again pretty quick

I'm not sleeping with you, Tony.

[Yet. She's not opposed to the idea in principle at least until I update her past AvX.]

[fe_male]

are you going to go all girl on me about it. take you out to dinner, fancy meal, save you from a supervillain, come back home and play innocent while you let me in because it's cold out, john hughes, john hughes, john hughes, &c.

pick you up at eight?

[myownbestfriend]

Oh, Tony. I'm not playing hard to get. I am hard to get.

[fe_male]

hard things are my specialty

[myownbestfriend]

Sometimes I wonder why I put up with you.

[fe_male]

because you're rare and hard to get and I love chasing rare and hard to get things

[myownbestfriend]

How often do you catch them?

[fe_male]

ubiquitiously

[myownbestfriend]

Ah, well. It's a rare streak that goes unbroken.

[fe_male]

yeah see that's not the kind of rare thing i'm interested in collecting
