This is Charles Xavier, one of the ships Interpersonal Relationships Officers.
I'm clearly not available at the moment. I'll answer as soon as I'm able.

shipment with note;

[a_shadow]

[ Once Tex learns that Charles is planning to start a school, she packages the following from her Pak-disc and has it sent to his residence:

• 10 learning tablets with licenses for a full library of textbooks on various topics, from elementary through secondary school levels
  
• Tempura paint in 36 colors, 23 canvases, 10 paint brush sets, 10 boxes of 96 colored pencils, 10 sets of 16 pastel chalks, and an assload of sketch paper (all of these items show light use)
  
• A full practice archery set

Accompanying this shipment is the following note: ]

I heard you were starting a school. This stuff is from the Moira's school. I hope it comes in handy.

soon after his network post; text; display says it's from Jane Shepard

Does your school have anyone familiar with biotics?

[Oh. Oh someone is getting a bottle of wine as soon as he can pull it off. And by the he means find good vintages. Because quality is important okay?]

[notthemaniwas]

I'm afraid not, for the moment. Though I keep hope that I may see more members of the school staff at some point. I can study up on it though if it is pressing.

[petridish]

I've heard it's similar to telekinesis if you have anyone who can do that.

((ooc: I forgot to include an item on the original list—Tex also sent ten battle balls in the shipment.))

[notthemaniwas]

We do, one person. She is still a student but I'm sure she'd be a great help either way.

[petridish]

The last person who worked with me didn't have biotics at all, just trained with a partner who did, so student or not she'll be better.

Do I enrol with you or just go straight to her?

[notthemaniwas]

I'm sure she will be.

You're welcome to join us at the school if you like but I would recommend contacting Jean before approaching her. I would hate to drop this into her lap without warning or agreement.

[petridish]

Does Jean have a last name? And do I tell her you sent me?

[notthemaniwas]

Jean Grey and by all means. I imagine she might be more comfortable if you do, rather than having someone randomly contacting her.

[petridish]

Thank you.

Might see you at the school.

[notthemaniwas]

I hope you'll at least visit.

[petridish]

[This invitation without a confirmed teacher or anything catches her off guard.]

Why?

[notthemaniwas]

Everyone who has some kind of ability, it evolves, grows, differently. It's a wonderful experience to meet new people who have abilities and see how they work. And sometimes, seeing that can help other students.

[petridish]

[It's a good thing she doesn't have a concept of nerdiness, because otherwise this would be the nerdiest thing she's heard.]

How would it help?

[Though the abruptness could come across as sarcastic, it's a genuine question.]

[notthemaniwas]

[She wouldn't be wrong. He's definitely a nerd.]

Seeing how someone else is controlling their abilities can sometimes give ideas on how to control you own.
