A gentleman will walk but never run
WHO: Charles Xavier & OPEN
WHERE: De Chima & Nonah (I’m open for other locations, just shoot me a PM)
WHEN: Various points during May
WHAT: Some specific scenes set in May but also some open prompts for the month of May. I’m also up for setting up a prompt if you want something specific!
WARNINGS: None of note but will update if necessary
Meeting with Lord Aral Vorkosigan in De Chima sometime after May 11th
[ As discussed when they met earlier in the week Charles and Lord Vorkosigan had been in contact to settle on a time and place for a more quiet meeting in which to continue their conversation.
Timing had worked out for an evening meet up at a restaurant close to StarkTech. The restaurant had good reviews and in particular that the setting was conducive to things like business talks or just talk talks.
Charles had made it a point to get out of the office on time, so he could secure a good table before too much of an evening rush crowd had arrived. Ordering himself a glass of soda water with a twist of lime, he otherwise left the menus sitting politely on the table as he waited for Aral. ]
Meeting with Hermann and Newt at their apartment in De Chima
[ While there had been a bit of strife in trying to make schedules work between the three of them, Charles was certainly looking forward to this meeting. Hermann and Newt had amused him during their conversation over the network and both men promised to be absolutely brilliant in their fields of research as well. He was looking forward to talking with them, not only about their personal situation with Newt’s power, but also their work; if the opportunity arose.
For now, he was rolling into their apartment building after having stopped off to pick up a bottle of wine. What? One did not go over to the abode of another without a proper offering, even if Charles didn’t drink anymore.
Navigating his chair into the lift, he punched in the appropriate floor and waited for the elevator to deliver him. He’d gotten better about navigating elevators and his chair and it was with little effort that he backed out of the lift and rolled down the hallway to the appropriate door. Reaching up, he rapped smartly and waiting for whomever would answer. ]
StarkTech building 3am-ish for Erik and or Tony
[ Most nights, Charles tended to stay late at work.
This was partly due to being a hopeless workaholic, partly due to the matters weighing on his mind and also due to not wanting to go home to a quiet house. So he haunted the halls of StarkTech, got to know the names of all the janitorial and security staff and stayed up late working.
Some of it was proper work, focused on innovative ideas in the field of biophysics and genetics which he then passed on to Tony for placement and production. Also known as Charles’ contributions to the Stark coffers. Some work was on the Foundation’s projects, still mostly ground work with the governments of allied countries and the US, making forward progress, step by step. Slow but progress at least.
In the late hours, though, Charles spent time on more personal projects. He was still working to draft the schematics for Cerebro and when he took a break from that detailed work (seriously the physics were almost beyond him, even with Hank’s help) he spent time working on his powers. He’d slip off to as high a floor as his clearance would allow, find an office with a wide bank of windows and settle in to stretch and train his mind.
Sometimes he’d lose hours to either Cerebro or his own training, only to surface and realize he had enough time to go home, shower and change, before having to come back and start a new day. ]
Nonah – Out and About & Open
[ Every now and then Charles did spend an entire day in Nonah taking care of basic household chores. It was an exciting life of grocery shopping, laundry and evicting rotten vegetables from the refrigerator, though he had gotten better about that last one.
Sometimes he called for a cab but if the weather was good he simply rolled to the local store and back, enjoying the exercise and the chance to enjoy the city. Every so often he’d get side tracked by a local yard sale, where he would mostly be on the lookout for books but now and then a small bookcase would catch his eye.
Today being one of those days.
So it was quite possible to come across him as he navigated his chair along a sidewalk with a two shelve bookcase balanced across his lap. Well, technically it was balanced across the arms of his chair but every so often he had to stop, re-position it and then continue.
The things this man did for a love of books. ]
Nonah – The Gym & Open
[ In the end Charles had chosen a gym that had a state of the art therapy pool with the bars and equipment necessary for him to safely get in and out of the water on his own; or at least with minimal supervision. The heated pool had been an added benefit, no doubt and that it was designed with a resistance current helped as well.
Working with a native doctor and a coach at the gym, Charles had designed a set of routines, so he didn’t have to follow the exact same exercises each session but covered the basis for good health and to strengthen his ability to manage on his own. The one constant in all the routines was time in the pool, which was where he could almost always be found, pursuing various aquatic exercises, some a little more ridiculous looking than others.
And no, he did not sport a Speedo for any of this. Proper swim trunks were required. ]

no subject
He did listen to both men, glancing between them as they spoke before sitting back with a pensive, worried expression on his face. ]
I understand what you're saying. [ He began. ] But you're still speaking from a position of assumptions.
[ And perhaps from the position of making an attempt with the element of surprise on their side, as Charles had to acknowledge his own approach, if it failed, might expose their hand. ]
I respect that attempting a peaceful approach and failing would expose our intentions and perhaps provide the Porter with a ... heads up that imPorts were trying to get information from her. I also respect that she and LACKEY from the sound of it are quite alien in their perspective.
But they are still sentient and deserve to be approached as reasonable beings, not summarily hacked. That approach will push her onto the defensive and do you honestly believe you can come from a position where you could over power her if she retaliates?
[ The question was genuine, not rhetorical. ]
