[ 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.

It's been very hard. Food around here in general... Let's just say, it's a good thing we got easy access to the Porter. The only really good food around here is Cuban.

Is that your favorite or are you just defaulting to 'not the worst'?

[hostage]

It's the closest thing I can get to Mexican, and nowhere around here does Mexican as good as they did back home.

Whereabouts are you originally from?

[hostage]

Albuquerque. So, like, not really anyplace cooler than this.

I'm not sure Manhattan qualifies as 'cooler' than here either, not with the amount of times it's been attacked by supervillains, aliens, and everybody else in the past.

At least you're... uh... never bored?
