Introduction

[x-adrienne.livejournal.com]

Happy monday morning to all!

I've had a busy weekend getting settled in and preparing my classroom and lesson plans so I haven't been incredibly sociable, but I wanted to introduce myself to all before classes begin. I am Adrienne Frost (yes, I am Emma's younger sister, but we're not close, so please don't come to me asking for any gossip about Emma's childhood) and I'll be teaching math here at the school as a replacement for the series of substitutes who have been holding down the fort since your Bobby Drake left.

I created modeling and fashion design company 64 Square nearly ten years ago (a little note to any students who want extra credit- wear my label) but I've scaled back my responsibilities to the company to be here and improve young minds.

I am also a very avid chess player, and face-to-face matches have always appealed to me more than online games so if anyone wants to take on the challenge of playing me, email me or drop by my office. I have a beautiful lotus set in hand-carved camel bone I was able to procure from the Prime Minister of India that needs some breaking in.

Greetings then, Ms. Frost. Glad to have you on board, at least in part because if they went through another substitute in that math class, I was afraid the Professor was going to be knocking on my door asking for a favor.

And you'll find a few interesting chessplayers here as well. The Professor and I both play, Scott's a fair hand, and Doug Ramsey over at Snow Valley isn't horrible.

What do you teach, Mr. Forge?

Thank you for the information on possible chess challengers. We'll have to set up a match some time in the near future.

Teach? Oh, that's a laugh. No, I am employed on staff here as the in-house mechanic and security specialist. I'm also pursuing my Bachelor's at the ESU Business School. I've seen 64 Square mentioned in some of the quarterlies as a good example of a rapid-rise company in a competitive field, although with the industry being what it is, it must take a lot of savvy to keep on top of things.

I predict there's likely to be some mutual brain-picking in the future here.

Hello, Ms. Frost. I am Yvette and I will be one of your students this afternoon. It is good to have the new teacher who will not have to learn the names of the students every week!

Thanks for introducing yourself, Yvette. I always appreciate it when students make the effort to stand out from the rest of their class.

[x-penance.livejournal.com]

Oh! I was not trying to be standing out, I was just making to be friendly.

Welcome to the school, Ms. Frost. I teach gymnastics, German, and occasionally dance - and while it has been some little time, I did used to enjoy games of chess against my priest.

[x-adrienne.livejournal.com]

Gymnastics and dance? This school funds gymnastics and dance? In that case I'll have to remember to ask for modeling class next. Runway 101, I believe I'll call it.

I've always wondered- are priests not allowed to cheat in chess? Are they even allowed to win? Doesn't that go against humility or something like that?

Welcome to Xavier's, Ms. Frost. I'm Nathan - I run the NGO in the boathouse.

And I work at it, when I'm not studying or teaching self-defense.

Elpis, is it?

I send you money, correct? I get my charities confused sometimes...

CAMEL? The animal?
Like, for serious? camels?
That's kind of, well, gross.

Oh, right. The intro.
Kyle Gibney, and you're safe
from having me in classes.

But that's a good thing.
I suck so hard at the math.
Just like a Hoover.

Maybe the vacuum,
Maybe J. Edgar Hoover.
Likely not Herbert.

...Kyle, are you okay?

[x-adrienne.livejournal.com]

Well, it's not Camel the cigarettes...

Kyle, I almost wish I taught literature because you'd definitely be getting a gold star from me for those last two Haikus.

Greetings, Ms. Frost. I am Marius Laverne, and despite the name I regard myself as a fortunate individual. I have since graduated and as such have absolutely no justification for remaining at Xavier's beyond the rendering of certain janitorial services, which I have the vague impression was at one point intended to teach me humility. Currently I have been spending rather more time mooching about the campus of uni, but I am theoretically in residence.

On another note: a personal label, eh? I foresee an imminant interest from certain other residents. No worries, for they shall be easily identifiable by, respectively, delicate purple tint and hair which would once have been appropriately recognized as a fierce deity and worshipped accordingly. (I, of course, am spared retaliation by dint of a blood relation. Probably.)

[x-m.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't count on it, mate.

[x-adrienne.livejournal.com]

This place seems to have some sort of hold over people so that they don't leave after they graduate, doesn't it? Does the school have some sort of mutation that makes it do that?

I don't know who you're talking about with your hair cracks, but I'll be sure to stay alert for the people you mention.

You're not as blonde as I thought you would be,
and for you I hold no great enmity.
My name would be Jean Grey-Summers, you see,
doctor and teacher and activist, three
grand professions. Ever busy am I,
pleasure to meet you, farewell and good bye.

[x-adrienne.livejournal.com]

Uh...

Nice to meet you, too. You seem very... inventive. Trying to outdo the haiku guy?

I'm not in your class, but my name is Jane. I am mostly fine though I've broken my brain. Welcome to the mansion, I'm sure you'll have fun. It's a really great place, just ask anyone.

Sweet Christ, another one speaking in verse...
I'm starting to think this isn't such a great place, if you people speak in verse all the time.

Hello. I am Manuel. I know your sister very well, or knew her at one point. I eagerly await her return.

[x-adrienne.livejournal.com]

Well, that makes one of us. On all counts.

Welcome to the madhouse, Adrienne. I'm Lorna Dane, for the next couple of weeks I'm the executive chef, and the teacher of self-defense, philosophy and geology. I have no idea what all the rhyming is about.

[x-adrienne.livejournal.com]

I'm glad the rhyming isn't a normal occurance, at least. Why only a couple weeks?
