[OPEN]
Who: Charles Xavier & you.
What: Open post. Feel free to throw your characters at him.
Where: Mog Hill & Mafaton or somewhere in the central area of the city that your character is likely to bump into him.
When: Veerdi afternoon and evening.
Notes: None.
Warnings: None.
With no afternoon appointments and no one needing his immediate help at the Glory Shada (he is a counselor, after all, and they tend to keep more regular hours), Charles decides to slip away from work early in order to window shop around the city. It's mostly to look at furniture and other essential household items, although bookshops and strange trinkets inevitably end up catching his eye. Every so often he can be seen in shops, snapping pictures on his CiD, enquiring after prices and how long someone will be able to keep a reservation. Occasionally he'll wander into a cafe for coffee or tea on the go, more to warm up on a chilly Ruundary than anything else.
While walking, he lets his mind idle around, picking up and sifting through passing thoughts as he goes. Despite some friendly warnings to be cautious and his own recent encounters with the unforeseen forces of Baedal, he really can't help himself at times.

That wave of guilt doesn't slip by him, and he asks (mildly) "Would you mind telling me a little bit about your world? I'd be willing to do likewise, or if it makes you uncomfortable, we can skip the subject entirely." He looks thoughtfully at his cup for a moment, before further explaining, "I spoke to an interesting man on my first day here, although I haven't seen him about since. He was a mathematician who dealt with probability theory. Ever since then, I can't help but wonder if there's some sort of rhyme or reason behind why we're chosen to be brought here. I'm not willing to believe it's some sort of cosmological accident."

"I don't mind, it's one of the things I like to ask people and I've been wondering the same," About if there's a reason they're here. She takes a sip of her coffee as she decides what to say, not because she's trying to hide anything, it's just hard to pick what's relevant, "My world is pretty normal, just... Earth, from the early 21st Century, but we've got superheroes. That seems to be the big difference; other people I've talked to only know of superheroes 'cause of comic books, if they know of them at all."
She can't decide whether she feels sorry for the worlds without superheroes or if she should be jealous. On one hand, there are probably a lot less messes to deal with but... she can't imagine living in a world without Superman.

He was a fan, okay. Not that he's had much time to dwell on pop culture; he was out gathering mutants and forming a team to prevent World War III. And speaking of which, "Superheroes?" That piques his interest. "Super powered, or...?"

This is why Steph shouldn't time travel.
"Yeah, we've got aliens, meta-humans, people with magic, people with devices that give them assorted powers, um..." she's mentally sorting through the people she knows as she tries to make sure she's got everything - Supergirl, Black Canary, Klarion, Stargirl and then she thinks of Cassie and adds, "Oh, and gods. Plus there's just regular people who dress up in costume and go fight crime."
She manages to sound so mocking for someone who does the same thing.

Charles looks...slightly astonished by that rather long and varied list. But it also puts him at ease enough to mention, "I think my world may be heading down that path. At least where people with extraordinary abilities are concerned. It's not like that right now, but I've met people from various alternate futures."
no subject
"It seems to be a fairly common theme, I've met people from a few different worls who have their variation of metahumans, which lends some credence to the idea we might have been brought to Baedal for a reason," If they're supposed to do something here,it makes sense they'd bring more powered people. She'd have kidnapped the entire JLA. She's also absently wondering if the percentage population of Xenian's here is bigger than the metahuman population back home, "I guess it just differs how the rest of the world reacts to them."
