Special announcement

[x-avier.livejournal.com]

This Saturday, at 8:00 AM, we will be opening our doors to Trish Tilby, whom many of you have seen on CNN, and a small camera crew. Ms. Tilby will be compiling a video documentary about the school and its mission, in order to counteract, at least in part, the negative press mutants have received in the recent past. I ask all of you to be on your best behavior while our guests are here, and to help clean and order the campus this week so that we may present our best face to the public. The crew will be arriving early in order to set up and prepare, and shooting will likely take all day.

If any of you should wish to appear in the documentary, I have release forms for you to sign, and I will be contacting your parents, where appropriate, for their permission as well. Ms. Tilby has requested that a few students and staff volunteer for short interviews; I am promised that they will be friendly and nonconfrontational, that Ms. Tilby's intent is to present a portrait of our school, not to go digging through its bowels. Interviews require a more elaborate release form, and it would be a courtesy if I could have those back to her by Thursday, or Friday at the very latest.

The documentary is scheduled to air on CNN sometime in the latter half of next week, and I encourage you all to watch it, even if you do not choose to participate.

Thank you.

I'll help get the school ready for the filming, but I'd rather not be anywhere near the camera crew while they're here, if that's OK. Are there parts of the school that will be off-limits to them, where I can hide stay during the filming?

Well, since I'm already known as "that crazy Scottish doctor who does things with mutants", I'll be happy to volunteer.

Not me. The big THEY are probably still looking for me after I got out of that poke and prod of theirs.

I'll volunteer for an interview. Anyone who I was worried about knowing I was a mutant already knows so I don't have to worry about that being a problem.

... Trish Trilby?

Right. Well, I'm nothing if not an interesting newsbite, right? And it's not like I haven't done this kind of thing before.

Count me in.

Hey, I'll do it if you need another volunteer. :D

I'd be willing to do an interview too, I guess, assuming my parents will let me.

[x-crowdofone.livejournal.com]

Sounds like fun. I'll do one.

I guess.

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

I can, if it is allright.

Maybe an international voice would be helpful?

[x-colossus.livejournal.com]

I would love to represent the school.

Count me out. 8 AM on a Saturday? I'll be sleeping in my room anyway.

If you need an extra interviewee, or someone to hang around in background shots, I guess I could do it. I'm sure you could find people more photogenic and articulate than me, though.

I hope you will excuse me if I do not participate. I don't particularly enjoy cameras. Or Western journalism, for that matter.
