Hello

[xp_bevatron]

I have been remiss in introducing myself, as M. Forge actually was able to create an electromagnetically shielded laptop for me yesterday, but it was a Friday, and I felt that I was required to take in the local clubbing scene.

I see that M. Summers has already announced my arrival. As he said, I am Jean-Phillipe Colbert, and I have come here to gain control over my mutant power. I imagine that those of you who have seen me in the halls can no doubt guess the nature of my power and why I could not use a normal computer to introduce myself on the journals.

I am electrogenetic, that is, I create bioelectricity much like an eel. In fact, I am given to understand that the electricity comes from glands very similar to those in eels. Which I suppose sounds rather disgusting, in thinking about it.

I understand from reading the journals that a portion of the student body is currently in Japan, so I look forward to meeting those of you I have not already met when you return.

Well, I suppose you have finally gotten exactly what you ever wanted.

[x-bevatron.livejournal.com]

I was wondering how long it would take before my cousin said something pleasant to me.

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

I am so very hurt. Perhaps I shall go write bad poetry in my room with the lights off.

[x-bevatron.livejournal.com]

Well, yes, if you try to write anything with the lights off, of course it will be bad.

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

I am so glad we understand each other.

[x-bevatron.livejournal.com]

That was not at all the impression I got from this exchange.

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

I would think that a aspiring poet would have grasped the concept of sarcasm by now.

[x-bevatron.livejournal.com]

Oh, is that what you call it? Thank you ever so much for clearing that up.

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

Very good. Would you like to have a nap with your blankie and then do fingerpainting and blocks next?

[x-bevatron.livejournal.com]

Only if you will bring me some milk and cookies.

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

I am sure you can find all the milk and cookies you want in the kitchen.

... I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that Colbert family reunions must have been a lot of fun.

Hello, Jean-Phillipe. I would be Nathan. And don't worry, we've seen much weirder things than eel-glands around here.

Hello.

Yes, I have gotten that impression from reading some of the past journal entries.

Hello. It is nice to meet you. My name is Yvette. I think we will be arriving home from Japan soon? There is the airport at the moment, and the free wireless for the computer.

Mr. Summers was warning us that your power makes it dangerous to be touching you. I am having the same problem - my skin is very sharp, and it will cut people if they touch me without the powers that protect them. Just for the warning, you see.

[x-bevatron.livejournal.com]

Hello, Yvette. It is very nice to meet you, at least on the journals. I hope to meet you in person when you return to the mansion.

I promise I shall be careful of your powers. Thank you for the warning.

[x-penance.livejournal.com]

There was the accident with someone who was not knowing, so I make sure now. Not everyone has the fast healing power. :(

[x-bevatron.livejournal.com]

Accidents are not good, no. I had an accident with my powers myself, so I understand. I do not have the fast healing, so I promise to be careful.

Ah, it looks as if you've finally gotten yourself onto the system. My apologies for not showing you how to get set up on the network in person, I tend to have occasional bad reactions to uncontrolled electric or magnetic mutations. I'll stop by at some point and make an introduction, or feel free to drop in when I'm in my office (it's the one right next to the Professor's study). But for the moment, I believe I am needing to deal with a very hung over roommate...

[xp_daytripper]

Hung over? That's not like Ange on a work night...

[x-bevatron.livejournal.com]

I look forward to it. My thanks again for the laptop. I have not been able to use a laptop since my manifestation, and it had left me feeling rather cut off.

I hope that your roommate is feeling better. Hangovers are never good. Thankfully, one benefit of my powers is it apparently takes rather more alcohol to get drunk these days.

Hello! I'm Monet and you really must come up and visit at some point, if you get some free time. If only because you seem to be one of the few civilized people around here.

Either that or we must go clubbing.

I completely missed your post in here. I'm Jay. Sorry. I'm prone to log off the computer for days on end and do a major catch up.
