Public post to all students

[x-juggernaut.livejournal.com]

All right, you sorry little grabasstic pieces of maggot vomit, Mister Marko is about to give a little pop quiz. Who can tell me how old this house is? I'll make it easy for you: built in 1880, with the East and West wings added in 1922. The state of New York declared it a historic structure back in 1982, if anyone bothers to read the bronze plaque out by the gate.

So when I hear about a leak in the attic, and I go up to see that someone's been tramping around on the roof, it gets me to thinking someone's not paying attention to the nice little talk I gave about off-limits areas. And before you little worms blame it on migrating birds, unless the pigeons have started leaving cigarette butts in the rain gutters, no one's going to be fooled.

I don't give a damn if you spoiled little whiners "need your space" or want somewhere to go pout and cry because you miss your mommies. Most of you wretches are here because you're a danger to society unless you get off your crying little asses and learn some discipline and self-control. The easiest part of that, which most of you get when you're not blowing up the woodline, is to not cause property damage. Some of you can crush rocks without thinking - so START thinking.

It's called respect. You don't have to have it for me, and more than a handful of you sure as hell don't seem to have much for Xavier or the teachers - but you will have respect for this house that you're living in.

Anyone who's got a problem or would like to show off and pretend to be a badass and get mouthy, you can find me.

Tromping around on the roof? I don't know who's been tromping around but I did happen to sit on the porch roof for a bit -- perfectly sound structure by the way and the porch at home never suffered for me planting my backside on it once in a while. I do believe the exact area of my contact with the roof was less than three feet by three feet and given my weight, tromping is really not on my agenda.

And as for your opinions of us, Mr. Marko, I suggest that you are welcome to take them up with me personally before you spew the same insults that we hear on the streets or from our parents at us. We are here to avoid precisely what you are engendering, and that is a hostile, negative environment. I don't give a damn if you're Professor Xavier's long-lost brother, you have no right to address anyone here in that manner.

Most of the people here *are* children, Mr. Marko, and some of those children will be reading what you post. And I believe that any of us here have every damn right to miss what we've lost. I'm sorry if our pain is interfering with your blatantly obvious repression, but I guess you'll just suck it up. How Professor Xavier was talked into hiring someone with absolutely no shred of compassion or even the remotest capacity for effective dialogue, I have no idea. If he desires for us to follow in your footsteps, though, I'm positive that there's a teaching position open with your name on it, something like "Compensating for Unresolved Trauma and Personal Loss by Means of Hostility and Abusive Behaviour".

Trust me, I will be forwarding this post to Professor Xavier, just in case he may have happened to miss it. I can take your crap but you are deliberately making this place into an unsafe environment for the students. I will be specifically requesting that you moderate your behaviour so that you achieve your goals through some means other than abusive language and outright bullying.

I do not think I've met you yet, but I must say that it is relieving to know that there is at least one other person here who actually has a brain.

Well, there's one mystery solved. Apparently the existence of some rather expensive benches, or some of the sitting rooms in the mansion, or anything else just isn't good enough for you, you've got to be a rebel. You're right on one score - you *are* children, and children who don't know enough to do what the hell they're told to boot. If you're one of those who thinks that they're owed a perfect life, and bitch and whine when life hands you shit - then you've got a hell of a lot of growing up to do.

If you think you need to be protected, then learn to damn well protect yourself. And that means learning to control yourself, and if that's too tactless and rough for you - too damn bad. Way of the world, little girl. Outside these walls, it's a hostile, negative world. You may hate it, you may fear it, but unless you're planning to hide here forever, you'd better learn to deal with it.

And to repeat for the record, I ain't got the slightest shred of interest in teaching a damn thing to a one of you. What I do is my own business, and I don't recall asking for your opinion on it.

Perfect life? Mr. Marko, you'd better educate yourself before you start talking out of your ass that way. I have a great deal of control, Mr. Marko. You'd know if I didn't. I've been outside these walls, I've lived on the roads, I've been months in the winter without knowing where my food or shelter was coming from. I've begged for my bread. I've been in military custody, I've been in jail, I've been Erik Lenscher's unwilling guest and his bitch. I've got no home to go to and the military wants me back so they can strap me down to their tables again. I've been out there. I've been shot, I've been set on fire, I've been beaten. I'm not hiding here. I'm here because it's a good place for me to set my back when I face the world. You're not too tactless and rough for me, Mr. Marko, but if that's who you are then this isn't the place for you. This is sacred ground in a world that hates people like the students here, and I won't see you piss on that. You make this place unsafe with your words and your attitude, and I will call you on it, and I will do something about it.

Oh, excuse me. You're in control, don't need anyone, no, not you. It definitely sounds like you can take anything that big bad world has to throw at you.

So those gloves are just a fashion accessory, huh? I hear everyone with a great deal of control wears them these days.

Did I say I didn't need anyone? I don't think so. I need people, and that's why I'm here. There's no shame in needing companionship and safetly. Control, though, I do have, more now than ever.

I wear my gloves out of respect for others, Mr. Marko; you know, that thing you assume I don't have. My skin makes people afraid around me, and I don't blame them. I will be happy to take them off where you're concerned, though God knows I don't relish having you and all your repressed issues in my head for the rest of my life. I've got better men than you trapped in my skull. You'd be in some good company. Perhaps some insight into you would help me develop some compassion for your obviously wounded psyche.
