[ Someone's just given her first class of the day. The white-board behind Verity is wreathed in high-school physics ("What is a Vector? A quantity that displays both magnitude (numerical size) and direction...") used to teach the kids who are now enjoying a short break in between lessons (and yelling like freight trains outside). Setting down the video so she can wipe the previous writing off, if you know her then you might notice a little effort having been put into her appearance with an actual teacher-y skirt and heels. No joggers! She showered!! Amazing.

Tucking ruffled pink hair behind an ear, she pushes her glasses back up and flashes a smile. Little awkward, but. ]


Hi, my name's Verity Willis.

If you're a student at Xavier's School for Imports, this is a quick PSA that I'll be your new student counsellor from now on — it's been rehiring, obviously, and won't be closing, or so I've been told. Should you need to talk then come and find me, you don't need an appointment! I also teach Physics and Data Programming, so if you want an intro to either of those make sure you attend class over the next few weeks. When you can't find me in the classrooms or labs, come by the offices and one of the other teachers will give my phone a call.

[ About to sign off with a smile, she remembers to flatly add, ] Oh, and if you're going to lie about why you haven't done your homework? Don't. You'll get double just like the brave soul from the Tenth Grade yesterday.

I'd hate to be seen as ostentatious, naturally. And that's not even talking about the castle. [Said with a wide grin. Almost like he's joking.

Except he sounds completely serious.]

A polygraph? You can sense when someone's lying? What a useful power. [Also, potentially troublesome. He'll have to make a note to not lie around her.

Which is annoying, because he's such a damn good liar.]
But you can tell, then, that I wasn't kidding about the castle.

Oh, I assure you; it was anything but useless. [Telling the truth.] It wasn't so much 'built,' per se-- it was an authentic castle from Scotland, Castle Wyvern, that I had disassembled and reconstructed brick by brick on the top of the Manhattan skyscraper.

[Because he wanted to see if an ancient prophecy was true. Not that he's going to tell her that.] It was a beautiful old castle, but the locals considered it cursed. They were happy to see it gone, and I thought it'd be striking on the top of the tower.

[Not a lie. All of that is true. But that's not why he did it.]

[Interesting. Either she can't tell that that wasn't the whole truth, or she doesn't give anything away. If the former... he'll just have to remember to tell half-truths around her.] I'll make it explicitly clear to the architects that they're to work around it.

[And he's really good at it too.] I'd love to, Verity. Are you in De Chima often?
