[Video] - Another X-Team?!
[Alric seems a bit more troubled--or at least more serious--than usual (which might be alarming to people who think he's impossibly serious normally). He smiles, politely, but his manner is a little more stern and pensive, something other members of the kendo club would likely have noticed. He pauses a second after turning on the video, before speaking.]
Fellow students. I have been thinking seriously about forming a team for some time. Since the beginning of the semester, I felt I had the luxury of focusing, above all, on protocol--deciding on the ideal foundation and mission statement for this team, before extending invitations.
[A brief pause--perhaps to gather his thoughts or perhaps rhetorical.]
However.
Recent events have lent a far greater urgency to the matter. So. My intention is to establish a team prepared for purposes of intervention. Ours is, plainly, a dangerous world, due to individuals with ill intent, be they mutant or otherwise. Given Professor Xavier's blessing, of course, I believe it would be in keeping both with my own oaths, and with the intent of the Institute, to form a team dedicated to representing the best that mutant citizens have to offer society. I believe there is much we can offer--to protect, with respect for the law, those who we can, and to offer our aid where possible. Perhaps, if we are able to do so with a measure of aptitude and wisdom, we may be able to help turn the tide of fear preemptively.
Such a team would need to be prepared for combat, if necessary, capable of fast response and deployment as needed, and, ideally, able to provide relief and protection to those in harm's way. Coordination with local authorities and regular patrolling may be vital, as well. Our training would prioritize those objectives. I would be glad to hear from any who are interested and do not have prior commitments, and am open to additional suggestions.
Mr. Hijikata: I've spoken to you about my intentions, before, in brief. I would be honored if, given these details, you still wish to support this endeavor.

Re: [In Person]
"...for the moment... I mean only to say that it has been an... intense encounter--for the both of us, I believe. It might be best to take a breather, so to speak."
He smiled a little.
"I don't mean to avoid you, I assure you of that, but rather to suggest that we speak again in a calmer, more rested state of mind, and perhaps with a little new perspective."
Re: [In Person]
he gave a small nod, wordlessly. The other... Alric... he said he would not avoid him, but... Kiyoshi had said similar, and he hadn't seen his roommate since... that day....
He closed his unintentionally expressive eyes.
Re: [In Person]
"Ah... at any rate, apologies, again, for the... inauspicious beginnings. Hopefully we'll be rectifying that. Have a good night, Tiamaris."
He smiled a touch more jovially, nodded in almost courtly manner, and moved to step out. Among other things, whether Tiamaris needed to at the moment or not, Alric needed to get his bearings a bit. Lending a hand with the cleaning up downstairs might help, there. Doing something helpful and physical in the way of manual labor or community service could be excellent internal atonement for bollocksing up a social situation.
