[Video Post, 7:30 AM] Intro time!

[diabhal_beag]

You know what the great part is about having a normal job? Having to wake up at the same time every morning. I love it. And for those of you using speech-to-text for whatever reason, that was sarcasm.

Anyways. Guess I'd better reintroduce myself for those who didn't know me before. I'm Carlyn Caimbeulach. Yes, I've been an X-Man a few times. Had some work with S.H.I.E.L.D. for a while, thus why I haven't been around. Got semi-ceremoniously fired around the time one of my higher-ups, dunno who, decided they'd rather have me at the school after the... Incident last week.

Add in two hours of brain-checking to make sure I'm not a plant or anything, three hours of reestablishing my room down in the faculty lairs, and then sleep, and I get to come back to my job of librarian without knowing how it's changed.

So, first, can someone catch me up on that? And second, where'd the coffee machine in the faculty break room go? I really hope they didn't get one of those bloody cup-thingies, those make so much waste.

I shall have to keep you busy, then.

I didn't? I have the ability to project psionic energy as bolts of force and forcefields.

[That she did. Koa seems to be in control of her ability now.]

[diabhal_beag]

That's... A pretty good power to have, with a lot of what goes on.

Not that I'm useless, just... Not a straight combatant.

[knowledgeandshadow]

Ah, but you could possibly prevent a fight from starting in the first place.

[diabhal_beag]

Unless it's Sentinels or similar.

The Phoenix incident... It's good you weren't here for that.

[knowledgeandshadow]

[She sighs a little at that.]

I'm inclined to agree.

[diabhal_beag]

... It's a fun power and all, but I also have to be really careful about it. Morals, for one. Plus not remembering my teenage years. And...

[knowledgeandshadow]

Hmm... I've been meaning to ask you, why do you seem to look so young?

[diabhal_beag]

A proprietary combination of facial treatments, exercise, and getting five years drained off my age by the Phoenix. ... Mostly the last one.

[knowledgeandshadow]

That doesn't sound so terrible...

[diabhal_beag]

Did you know New York state law has absolutely no idea how to handle age draining effects from a legal standpoint? I'm really lucky the attack occurred when it did, or I'd possibly legally have been a minor for a couple months after years of not being one, which could've created one of the biggest child support legal kerfluffles in the history of the US. Plus it made getting into bars really difficult. I eventually just got an ID with my wings out to prove my age.

[knowledgeandshadow]

To be fair, it's not a condition that anyone could really expect. Though, I hope you havn't had to deal with too much incompetence.

As if being a mutant wasn't difficult enough...

[diabhal_beag]

Well, I handled it in the end. But yeah. It was a weird few years. Then again, with this school, weird years are pretty normal.
