DRAFT 5 [Video]

[pushtheboundaries]

[The video opens up to...a floor. You can tell it's a floor because while it's originally just a black screen, it's picked up a moment later and-]

Whups-

Is it working?

[The camera shifts, showing Callaghan and Kotetsu - the latter fumbling with it. They are also upside down.]

I think so, but-

Pretty sure you've got it backwards, there.

Oh crap, right. Sorry. [Cue Kotetsu flipping it up as Callaghan hides a faint smile, glancing at him as Kotetsu gets them both in-frame. They look to be in an office of some sort, some papers set up on a desk behind them along with books and the like.] This right?

Mhm.

Cool. Okay! I'm Kotetsu Kaburagi-

-and I'm Robert Callaghan. [He looks back at the camera.] It's my pleasure to inform you all that we've finally completed a few changes for the campus. Many of you know the place as 'Xavier's School for imPorts', set outside of Heropa. [He tilts his head] We'll now be known as the Heropa Organization for imPort Education, shorthand HOPE. [And that gets a proud quirk of lips.] We'll also now be offering some college-level classes for our more advanced students, in addition to our powers training [A brief pause while he tilts his head towards Kotetsu, who grins] and general education curriculum. As always, you're welcome to stay in the dorms or commute as you'd like.

With that said, we're looking to make use of the dorms. [He grows a little more serious] Some of you are unRegistered, like me, for whatever reasons. Regardless of those reasons, if you're finding it difficult to get by without the aid that's offered for those who do Register, we'd like to offer you a place to stay while you get your feet under you. This offer's open to anyone, regardless of age, so long as you behave yourselves and at least make an effort to make your way. If you need some advisement with where to go or what to do, we're willing to support you however we can and you can help around the school if you're having issues finding employment.

And on that subject, we're always looking for more faculty, or even staff for the non-teaching positions. If you're interested in any of this - attendance, employment, or lodging - we'd be happy to speak with you.

[[OOC; tl;dr Xavier's School for imPorts > Heropa Organization for imPort Education. Some college level classes offered. Unregistered can hang out there if you help around the place and/or just need a place to stay for a bit. Nothing really stopping Registered from doing it but you already get free shit why you need]

[timecapture]

Sweet! I wonder if I could get a transfer for some of my courses.

[video]

[pushtheboundaries]

I don't doubt it.

[video]

[timecapture]

Then count me in! I missed that place.

And you. How have you been, Professor Callaghan?

[video]

[pushtheboundaries]

Well, we'll be happy to have you back! I've been well, if busy. What about yourself?

so old he's still got the cross in front of his name, wow callaghan!

[akito]

Oi, older geezer, keep the cat-haters off my floor.

[ annnd give him a sec bc akito is telling him something i m p o r t a n t. ]


And the dog haters, too.

I NEED TO FOLLOW UP WITH THE MODS FACEPALM

[pushtheboundaries]

Bird-haters only, then?

[akito]

[ that gives them both pause because wtf why would people hate birds. like, apart from getting shit on your windshield. ]

Tch. Yeah, whatever. If they annoy us we can just turn into a bird to fuck with them.

[earnedmystripes]

We'll add it to the application.

[there's no application

also what do u mean u weren't talking to him, shh with ur logical words.]

[akito]

Well, if you wanna be considered older than the other geezer that's fine with me.

Screw applications, just do fucking background checks.

[ he doesn't know there aren't any apps, but... he also doesn't care, because applications are stupid and people lie on them all the time ok. ]

[monge]

...schools sure are more complicated than I first thought, zura.

video

[pushtheboundaries]

It doesn't have to be if you don't want it to be. I don't think it'll be much trouble for you, at any rate.

video

[monge]

Oh, that's good, I was getting dizzy just thinking about it, zura.

...But...um...i-if I did wanna...ah, learn more things, zura...?

video

[earnedmystripes]

Aaah, it's not that complicated. Which part are you confused about? We'll help.

video

[monge]

[Someone willingly wants to answer his questions? He's...not used to that.]

O-Oh, um, thank you, zura! I got a whole bunch of questions, so I'll try to only ask the one's that are really confusing, zura...

[He clears his throat. Okay! Question number one:]

Like...why do you need a collage to go to school, zura?

[video]

[dachizone]

Ah! I forgot about the school here! [Scrambling to get everything more centered and 'official looking']

Hey! My name is Gentarou Kisaragi. I know it's late in the year but I would like to enroll. I'm pretty close to graduating high school back home and, even if it's not at my own school right now, I want to be able to graduate like how it should be done!

[video]

[pushtheboundaries]

No trouble at all, Gentarou, we have a fairly adaptive schedule. A few placement tess and we should be able to get you back on track.

Re: [video]

[dachizone]

Really? That's it? Great!

[video]

[earnedmystripes]

Sure, we'd be glad to have you!

[just gonna...leave the admin-y part to Cal over there...]

Are you interested in the power stuff too, or just the regular high school part?

Re: [video]

[dachizone]

Eh? Power stuff? I can use them in school?

Video

[dun_moch]

It's quite pleasing to see that the school continues to evolve while remaining a sanctuary for our community. I take comfort knowing that imPorts like you are working hard to bring hope to us all.

[He thinks he's hilarious.]

[pushtheboundaries]

[dammit, Dooku, you actually made him snicker. Puns.]

We can but try.

[dun_moch]

[Success.]

Successfully, from what I have seen. Am I correct in assuming your offer extends to the new 'metahumans' in our cities? I can think of a few who might benefit from your supports.

[Video]

[driftsintobuffetline]

Another change I'd suggest is getting yourself a tech support team, or at least an A/V club, because, god, guys... [Shakes head at you both.]

That said, if you have openings for teaching in your science department:
My name is Dr. Newton Gottlieb-Geiszler. I'm a graduate of and former professor at MIT with degrees and experience in herpetology, xenobiology and bioengineering, among other fields. I worked for a time here as a biotech department head at Starktech. Attached, you'll find my CV. I would prefer to teach at a honors/AP or college level. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.

[A CV/resume is attached following this message, along with a cover letter. For anyone who thinks of Newt as ridiculous and immature (and he is), you'll nevertheless find the letter is surprisingly and distinctly professional and well-written and the CV is extensive. The man has 6-doctorates to his name, attended MIT as a student starting circa 2004, has experience in multiple fields, has several patents to his name (including something dubbed the "milking machine" - which "extracts xenobiological chemicals for specialized classification"), and multiple honors.]

[Video] HOW DID I MISS THIS

[pushtheboundaries]

Not a bad idea. [Though he's certainly capable of doing it on his own, but poor Kotetsu.

And either way, Newton moves forward without missing a beat, visibly catching Callaghan's interest.]

I'll take a look at it, but you have quite the history, there. [Just named, though he'll be fairly impressed with the resume once he gets a chance to read it over.]

I DO NOT KNOW BUT IT'S OK

[driftsintobuffetline]

Attended MIT by fourteen--[shrug]--I have had a long time to build up a history.
