[the video flicks on to a scruffy-looking man. some of you may have seen him around the edges of the campus or at meal times, but he hasn’t been here long. he frowns at the screen for a moment before speaking, his accent from the deep South.]

A’right, so I guess I’m s’posed to uh, advertise for the new class, or somethin’.

[he pauses, not quite sure what’s the best way to go about this. It’s all very new and unfamiliar to him and he looks pretty uncomfortable.]

I’m addin’ a survival course ‘n a defense class for anyone who wants it. It’s gonna be afternoons ‘n Saturdays. So… yeah.

[he looks as if he’s going to shut off the device and then hesitates. oh yeah, they don’t know him, he’s new around here. But if he’s going to teach he supposes they should have a name at the very least. still, this whole teaching thing is really weird to wrap his head around.]

Name’s Daryl by the way. Daryl Dixon.

Boss-man asked what I could teach. S'what I got.

Re: [Video]

[killadeadman]

And s'what boss-man gets. Does that mean you're another stray that the boss-man adopted?

[There's no joking bite in that.]

Guess that's one way to put it. He take on charity cases a lot?

Re: [Video]

[killadeadman]

Heh, go outside and take a gander sometime. You'll need fingers, toes, and other appendages to count the kids that crawled out of a sewer and all the fac that knows handguns better than the books they're teachin' out of.

He doesn't take on charity cases; Charlie bought the entiiiire hospital.

[slow nod. that makes a lot of sense how they found him, but it doesn't make daryl feel any better.]

What 'bout you? Guessin' you weren't no pity party.

[that said, just looking at Gangrel gives one the idea he wasn't too straightlaced either]

Re: [Video]

[killadeadman]

You know, I never got the hang of that Southern double negative thing. Are you or aren't you asking if I'm a sad sack?

[Nah, he knows. He just feels like being a pain.]

Re: [Video]

[faithaintdoneshit]

[oh yes go ahead, make fun of the uneducated hunter. that's a great idea. the corners of his mouth turn down more and his voice gets a little rougher.]

Wasn't askin' a damn thing.

Re: [Video]

[killadeadman]

Well fine; be that way. Make me take a stab in the dark. I'm guessing that you're guessin' I'm not a pity party, and you'd be right. Charlie happens to be that crazy rich guy that adopts every animal in the shelter, whether you ask for it or not. Verdict's still out on whether he left us his property or not.

Re: [Video]

[faithaintdoneshit]

Huh.

[a pause. he thinks about it, and makes a note to have a talk with the professor at some point, probably not a very nice one.]

So what d'ya do here?

Re: [Video]

[killadeadman]

Me? Nothing important. Mostly clean up after all the other animals. Even a blind fool can see I'm not meant for teaching.

And you don't look much better at it than me. You here for the merry little heroics band?

Re: [Video]

[faithaintdoneshit]

[have a snort]

Hell no. I don't give a damn what they're doin'. Barely even heard of 'em 'fore I came here.

Re: [Video]

[killadeadman]

Well, now that's an accomplishment. This place gets into a whooole mess of trouble regularly. The last decade's been merciless to Xavier's do-gooders.

Re: [Video]

[faithaintdoneshit]

[living in backwoods Georgia leads to really not caring much about the state of the world.... but now Daryl's wondering what he's gotten himself into]

...What kinda trouble?

Re: [Video]

[killadeadman]

Huh, fresh enough meat that you missed the crazy mutant wanna-be colony storming the grounds to try and get an ex-X-man's corpse or something? That was last month.

Then there was the time giant robots rained from the sky and torched the place, what, four? Five years ago?

Mass violence is at least seasonal here. It's brutal.

Re: [Video]

[faithaintdoneshit]

[well someone here probably should have researched better before hauling ass up to ny. but good job, you definitely got his feathers ruffled.]

Shit. Then why the hell are y'all still here? Those assholes know where to find ya.

((ooc: ahh sorry for late tag ): had some rl shit come up with my work))
