 [ Rocking forward onto his toes, nimble fingers snag a book from one of the shelves and draw it down to tuck under his arm. It was easiest, most days, to find Professor Xavier in the library or in his office. As of late, more so the library, picking up new bits of information for the students and welcoming any questions that might need answering. If nothing else he was a friendly man, albeit a tad arrogant at times. A few steps to the side and down another aisle he pauses as he slides a chess stratagem book he plucked secondly from the shelf over the much heavier mathematical biology book. Wrapping his arms securely about the set he makes his way down toward the public computers. He had a simple little note to put up before he decided to slink back to his office and spend the evening reading; ]


Dear TAC 101 & BIO 101 Students;

While I have always been one to appriciate creativity in most forms, I find that writing a section into your essay of 'why it should get an A' is more detrimental than anything otherwise to your grade. I'm not going to point anyone out specifically, but those few know who you are. I simply didn't count the section toward your overall word count and have sent the essays back to your inbox. 

Other than that everyone seems to be doing rather well, I'll see you in class.

Professor Charles Xavier


[ OOC: You can bugger him on BBS or anywhere from the library to his office. Also, hi! ]

his office

[erosion-sucks.livejournal.com]

[Toph at least has the decency to knock on the door]

Lovely--

[butwedonot.livejournal.com]

Come in--! [ He folds his book on the desk, head lifting and turned toward the office door. ] It's unlocked. [ He doesn't seem surprised to see her (when does he seems surprised to see anyone, really?) and neatly folds his hands on the desk. ]

What can I do for you young miss?

[erosion-sucks.livejournal.com]

[Door is shoved open]

It's Toph. I need to talk to you about class.

[She's just standing off to the side, not looking at him]

[butwedonot.livejournal.com]

Alright, well you're welcome to have a seat. [ He gestures toward the chair with a soft smile. ] What can I do you for?

[erosion-sucks.livejournal.com]

[Toph comes closer, but doesn't actually sit. She's a little short and can't have her feet on the ground]

Is there any way you can use less writing? I can't exactly read, and I actually like tactics and stuff.

his office!

[alwaysanarcher.livejournal.com]

[Ever since she read the PM, Cissie figured it might be a good idea to head over to Professor's office and see how he's doing. Well that, and she's struggling a little with a concept from last week.

So she tentatively knocks on his door:] Instructor Xavier? Is now a good time?

:D!

[butwedonot.livejournal.com]

[ He lifts his head form his stack of papers and smiles, [ Almost anytime is a good time, provided I'm not sleeping. [ A light chuckle, the humor behind his words apparent before he gestures for her to have a seat. ]

What can I help you with?

[alwaysanarcher.livejournal.com]

[Oh excellent! Cissie can't help feeling relieved as she walks in and stops just before his desk. Gently setting her textbook down, she points to the chapter they'd last been learning.]

Just something from the lecture last week? In Bio 101? [She smiles nervously.] I'm afraid I didn't quite understand it enough to do the homework just yet.

[butwedonot.livejournal.com]

Oh, alright. [ He scoots his chair a little closer so he can peer down to where she's pointed before he removes his own book, it's much larger and filled with notes and things. He just wants to be as efficient as possible, ]

Independent assortment looks much more complex in text than it actually is. Basically, what it's saying is that,allele pairs separate independently during the formation of gametes. Therefore, traits are transmitted to offspring independently of one another. So, you can get one trait from something and another from something else-- genetically. That they're all independent in nature.

[alwaysanarcher.livejournal.com]

[Maybe she should actually annotate in the book... That might be more helpful. Cissie patiently listens to the explanation again before nodding.]

Oh! [She can't help letting out a little squeal of delight, especially she'd spent too long trying to dissect that mentally:] That makes so much more sense! Thank you, Professor!

... Ah, right. I know you just got back in and all that, so I hope you don't mind this. [She rummages through her bag and offers him a chocolate chip cookie tightly sealed in a ziploc bag. It's not the greatest of presentations, but a gift's a gift?] Unless you know, you're allergic to chocolate or something.

slams into charles' office, no fucks given

[swagneto]

[ Because Erik is totally an irresponsible teacher and doesn't care much for whether not his students pass (read: he's going to flunk them anyway), Charles' message only serves to provide him amusement and a reminder to check on his friend.

He catches Charles' in his office, reading a chess stratagem book of all things. Erik figures Charles has already sensed his presence and spoke up. ]

Still reeling from the loss I handed you the last time we played?

:O!

[butwedonot.livejournal.com]

[ His head lifts once he's marked his spot in the book with that light blue bookmark, a gift from a student of his. A small amused smile crossing his lips, obviously unfazed by Erik's entrance or his comment. ]

Reeling? Hardly, but I figure there's always room to learn more, don't you think, Erik?

[swagneto]

I'd say it depends on what you have yet to learn.

[ Without waiting for Charles to invite him in, he takes a seat opposite him, settling into the seat rather comfortably. ]

I hope you're not babying your students too much.

[butwedonot.livejournal.com]

[ He scoffs, just faintly as he intertwines his fingers and settles them atop his closed book. ]

I'm not babying them, I'm encouraging them-- something you might want to look into, Erik. Positive reinforcement works wonders in comparison to negative.

[hawkette]

[Kate had been watching Charles ever since he entered the library. She couldn't imagine how many Charles Xavier's there were in the world, but at the same time it didn't resemble any of the pictures of Xavier she'd ever seen. Several times she wanted to march right up to him and ask, but she couldn't figure out what she actually would ask. "Are you really Charles Xavier?" was a stupid question. Of course he was. "Are you my Charles Xavier?" was an equally stupid question. Charles didn't belong to her or anyone. "Are you the guy who used to lead the X-Men?" was admittedly less offensive then "When did you get your hair back?" but she would never allow herself to ask something like that.

So for now she just sits there, trying not to stare.]

[butwedonot.livejournal.com]

[ It doesn't take him long to notice, especially when she's thinking so loudly and in his direction. Not that it's her fault, really, but Charles couldn't block out insistent thoughts for long. Folding the books in his arms he approaches with a soft, but curious smile. ]

Can I help you Miss Bishop? [ Gently he lowers his books onto the edge of the table-- mostly because they're heavy and he doesn't feel like holding them up through what might turn to be a longer conversation than his passing question. ]

[hawkette]

[Oh damn it! Stupid, how could she forget he was a telepath? Well, it was definitely some form of the Charles Xavier from her world.]

Oh my god I'm so sorry.

[butwedonot.livejournal.com]

No need to be sorry. [ He offered a soft smile as he slid into a chair across from her. ] I don't mind your curiosity, but you were thinking rather loudly, so I thought perhaps I could say hello.

derp library

[ofherfate.livejournal.com]

[With her arms full of books Padmé is distracted by one of the students speaking rather loudly with one of the librarians. Her hip accidentally smacks into the edge of a desk and - oops - there go her books, toppling to the floor near Charles.

Padmé sucks in on a sharp breath at the initial stab of pain but appears more concerned for the books, pressing a hand to the sore area at her hip and lowering down to retrieve them.]

Blast... [A soft mutter to herself as she rubs at her hip with one hand and reaches for the books one by one with the other. The titles mostly involve politics and biology.]

herp

[butwedonot.livejournal.com]

[ He glances down at the inital bump just in time to see books taking flight. He leans back a bit in surprise before he processes what has happened and a light chuckle passes his lips. He leans down and gently grasps one or two, settling them on the edge of the table before grabbing another set before they've both effectively picked up her pile of books. ] Are you alright? [ It had sounded unpleasant if nothing else, and he hoped for her sake it sounded worse than it felt-- there was nothing worse than having a bruise in an inconvenient place.

His thumb brushes the spine of one of the books and he looks admittedly curious. ] Got quite a few biology texts, I must say I'm surprised-- I didn't think anyone else checked them out.

hyuck hyuck

[ofherfate.livejournal.com]

Oh-- thank you. I hope none of them hit you on the way down. [Padmé rises with a book in hand. She then nods and gives him a small smile.] I'm all right, yes.

[Sucks that the edge hit at the side of her hip against the hipbone, but she ignores it. She's dealt with far worse bumps and bruises.]

From time to time I'll come into the library and borrow what I can. The other texts are mainly for study material as well as my courses.

loool

[butwedonot.livejournal.com]

Oh, no-- no impacts. [ He chuckles as he watches her gather herself and her things. ]

Ah, and what are you educating yourself to be? [ Not that it was much of his business, but he was always curious about the students and their goals, especially ones with texts that so closely related to his own interests. ]

BBS

[notaferry.livejournal.com]

...are your students really trying for that?

- Instructor Botan

[butwedonot.livejournal.com]

Just a few-- they're quite clever, I'll give them that. I figure a friendly warning couldn't do any harm, so long as they're learning the text.

-CFX

[notaferry.livejournal.com]

Well, there is that. As long as they learn, it's hard to fault their methods.
