Back home Ah work at a school. [In between averting Earth shattering disasters and fighting the good fight for equality, which sadly involves actual fighting. But that is not the point of this.] We teach all the basics, but we also cater to a very special group of people, mutants. Folks born with powers that set them apart on the evolutionary charts. A lot of those people don't really know what ta do with the gifts they're born with, or how ta control them.

That was mah area of focus. Ah've been teachin' young mutants how ta get a handle on their gifts for a long while. Ah'm able ta do it a lot more effectively than most, because Ah can share their power for a while, get an idea of what they're livin' with, and how it works. How it's supposed ta work.

And Ah know we've got some folks here that have powers like that. Gifts they don't quite know how ta work completely. Ah'd like ta offer mah help. Ah know we've got a little school here for further education, so Ah'm wonderin' if Ah might take up a teachin' spot for this sort of thing.

It'd be a one on one learnin' basis. Anyone interested, we could work out days and times for lessons.

Anyway, it's an idea.

[Private to Arthas, later]

Hey Ah'm keepin' a slot open for ya on mah sign up sheet.

[patheticvillain]

Yeah, I actually.

That would be awesome.

[la_belle_rogue]

Wonderful. How 'bout ya tell me a little about what ya can do?

[patheticvillain]

Transformation. Anything into anything. That's kind of the cliffs notes.

. . . You ever seen anything like that?

Private

[to_dust]

My gifts are common to my species, but-- could you still help me?

Private

[la_belle_rogue]

Of course! It'd be mah pleasure.

[to_dust]

I'm usually moderately telepathic, but it seems that here I'm only very mildly telepathic. My social chameleonism is still exactly where I left it, unfortunately. I...pick things up from people.

[codename_duchess]

Teach yourself how to answer your goddamn texts!

[la_belle_rogue]

Only if ya learn patience, Sterling.

[codename_duchess]

I was totally patient! I waited ten minutes before I started the game!

[hearrrtofgold]

What kind of abilities are we talking? Anything?

private

[la_belle_rogue]

Pretty much. Sky's usually the limit.

private

[hearrrtofgold]

No, seriously. Most people can't control their Troubles where I'm from.

[warisart]

"Share?"

[la_belle_rogue]

Ah can borrow abilities from other people through touch. It actually drains powers rather than copying them. The transfer doesn't last forever though.

[warisart]

Other humans.

[surfaceshine]

So your area of expertise is self-control, huh?

[Someone's smirking, and not without affection.]

[la_belle_rogue]

[She shrugs playfully nonchalant.]

Everythin' in moderation.

[wedonot]

Jean and I were discussing starting a sort of support group for those who were struggling with their powers. Would you be at all interested in combining the ideas?

[la_belle_rogue]

Of course, Charles! Ah didn't get where Ah am workin' on mah own. It follows that other people would need the same.

Private

[darknessb4me]

I know how to use my magic. [Better than you do, woman >:| ]

Private

[la_belle_rogue]

[That is totally debatable. c: ]

Ah was thinkin' more along the lines of psychic blocks.

The teaching annexe will provide a specialized space if you request it; the admiral will give you a key.

Good luck.

[la_belle_rogue]

Thanks honey. Ah'll remember that.

[fireincarnate]

I know Charles has said, but - we're definitely ready to help.

[Private]

...Did you ever - have you ever used mine?

[la_belle_rogue]

Ah'm all for help.

[Private]

And it might be sooner than later. Not really sure yet, but Ah may have a psychic lookin' for help here too. And other telepaths are usually better teachers than a temporary one.

[At the question, she hesitates. What an awkward part of her own history. And messy and confusing. And talking about things that haven't happened for Jean yet is a little touchy. But this wouldn't be too awful to talk about.]

Yes and no. Ah've done it before while ya had the Phoenix Force inside of ya, but Ah was also possessed at the time. Ah'm not sure if Ah'm the one who was able ta handle it or she was. It was a real blurry line.
