WHO: Charles Xavier, Charles!clone and You!
WHERE: A bit of everywhere.
WHEN: July
WHAT: Meetings, powers training, random encounters, clone-a-rama.
WARNINGS: TBA, Charles clone is likely to use telepathy without IC consent. Here is my telepathy permission post if you want to opt out of that.

MEET CHARLES

a. home, still at Nonah
Charles lives in Nonah, in individual housing with Erik, Jean and Wanda. It's a two story building but with no stairs at the front and no thresholds that would make it hard to navigate with a wheelchair. If he has invited you into his home, he'll be waiting with a pot of tea and a tin of cookies. But if you're a chance visitor, he will welcome you just as warmly.

He's gathering his bearings finally and actually made a home for himself in the bedroom that used to be his, claimed some space around the house by piles of books often forgotten onto the tables and good scotch in a reachable cupboard in the kitchen. He's no longer red as a lobster what was going on after the beach episode of Swear-ins and Erik finally convinced him to have a haircut. Gone is the mullet and back is the 60's floppy hair-do. You might even catch him wearing a t-shirt, maybe with an X-men logo on it or a silly slogan, he got a few of those from Fanport.

Let's have a cup of tea or a game of chess, or just good conversation.

b. powers training at the danger room / Maria-Francis Foundation
The Maria-Francis Foundation building resides in ~~Nonah~~ De Chima. In the basement there is a wide space that Erik has been working with all month to get up and running as a powers training centre. The building is modern and tall, and Charles has taken a habit of waiting the people he's made appointments with at the front lobby.

He's excited to get the actual training started, get those hours in and grind some practice into people who have contacted him.

If you're not here for powers training, you can find him in the office, going through the Foundation's paperwork. You're damn right he's snooping on his own business. What of it?

c. interview, wherever seems convenient
Perhaps you're meeting him in a cafe or a park, he'll even agree to go the beach if that's convenient for you. What he's interested in is learning about what you have to say after all. Charles is very curious about what has aspired in this world before his time and how to put the details together into a cohesive picture in his mind.

He's quick to greet you with a smile and a warm handshake. Please, sit down. Would you like a cup of tea or coffee first? Do you mind if he makes some quick notes while you're discussing?

d. wildcard
Would you like something else? Perhaps run into him in the library or find him feeding pigeons one fine morning in the park? Maybe he was supposed to come to you? Are you having a dinner out? Are you one of the people he keeps an eye on and something is going awfully wrong? He would find a way to contact you. Throw me a bone, I'll run with it.

MEET THE CLONE

e. random encounter
Charles, the clone, looks and sounds exactly like the original but he doesn't have the stylish wheelchair with big X-symbols on the wheels. A big giveaway? Maybe not. His flippant attitude is probably the big neon sign that you weren't expecting. Wherever you meet - cafe, library, school, even the Foundation building - he's going to greet you with a sunny smile and a warm handshake, introduce himself if necessary and especially if you're a pretty brunette, he will flirt playfully while falling short with playing the caring and concerned game that Charles excels at.

He's going to be a little bit impatient, unlikely to avoid using his gifts even if you ask him to and multitasking to the max. Good luck catching all of his attention at any given time. But he's new to his powers, and easily overwhelmed.

f. for those he's interacted with before
As time goes by, he will start targeting Charles' friends and family. He'll find them at their work places or stage a random meeting elsewhere. Once or twice he'll even wander into the house in Nonah. You might find him at the kitchen having a cup of tea and leafing a genetics book, or perhaps wandering around, looking at pictures and fingering everything with curiosity. Or rolling into your workplace with a sunny smile and a suggestion to grab an early lunch.

g. wildcard
Something else you had in your mind? I'm an open book, come at me, bruh!

[ The clone doesn't sense anything off. Because he doesn't have the feelers that the real professor Xavier has. He just gives a mechanical smile at her, one that doesn't reach his eyes at all. ]

Oh, well. I guess you have been. [ Again, not caring. Something that Charles would never do. ]

I am fantastic, dear. A little bit bored, perhaps. It seems like a quiet place. How about yourself?

[ Ok? That sort of gets her to blink a little but she quickly dismisses it as he continues on, fingers tapping against the side of her water bottle. ]

Yeah, it takes a bit of getting use to but I mean... it's a lot easier to do when you have people you know here.

[ Trust your instinct, baby girl. This is not your papa. ]

Oh, that is right. [ He sounds a bit surprised by this thought. ] I suppose we do have quite a bit of fun together, don't we?

Have you been training your abilities?

[ Somehow, that comes across almost... curious and Jean stares to the professor as she sits there with him at the table. It's then that she gently attempts to nudge at his mind, to try and see if she's able to slip into his thoughts as they so often have a habit of doing with one another. ]

You mean like in the danger room kind of training?

[ She hasn't really touched... that side of her power since coming here- since everything with Apocalypse ended. ]

[ There's a shield in place, the clone doesn't seem to even notice Jean's nudging. Honestly, this is something he just doesn't understand, how trust is build between two telepaths. ]

I suppose. I imagine there's quite a bit that you could be doing with your powers. [ Charles understands why she's hesitant and even scared of her own powers. The clone definitely doesn't. ]

[ The fact that there's a shield in place is a little, shall we say, concerning to Jean given how close she and the professor are and how he's never really had one in place around her before.

Rather than mention it, she simply stares to him, curious, wondering, trying to piece together why he might be resisting. ]

Well it's not like they're there to just do whatever with.

Are they not? [ The clone seems a little mischievous asking this. He misses the point where Charles often comes off playful, he just seems like he would enjoy a little bit of horseplay. ]

They're yours, aren't they?

They are but they can cause a lot of damage if I'm not careful with them.

[ It's at that she gives another nudge to his mind but much more forceful this time, curious, wanting to see if he continues to resist or if he's even aware that he's doing so. ]

I want to help people with them, not become a danger.

Ah, of course. But if you don't use them, how can you train them and be sure they're not a danger? [ Dreadful how much sense that makes, though. Charles is telling this same thing to so many other people.

He also ignores her nudging completely. Solid as a wall. ]

[ The fact that he's ignoring her nudging is something that causes her to pause- causes her to wonder just why he's doing such a thing without having to really say it out loud to him.

Teeth dragging over her lower lip, she glances off to the side then. Something... doesn't seem right about this. Maybe... maybe she should talk to Erik about this. ]

Using them somewhere safe, sure. But not just wherever and whenever. It's not... really responsible to.

Right, of course. Being safe is the priority.

[ The clone almost rolls his eyes but manages to stop that at the last moment. His words definitely do not sound very genuine at all. ]
