They lived for the students in this room who represented the future and hope for a better one. The work to make a world not just tolerant of mutants but celebrating them no doubt seemed impossible somedays. Many of the senior staff worked tirelessly when not in the school to push forward mutant rights. People like Hank McCoy who served as a ambassador for mutant kind. The professor during the breaks often left the school as well to speak at locations all around the world.<br/><br/>All for their species….<br/><br/>These children, they were the hope and bright future of the X-Men and mutant kind. Teaching here was beyond a regular teaching job. The stakes were higher because of the species involved. The goal was to make them functioning bright stars not so much to make them a super hero team. Hence why there was no mention of the X-Men inside of the students packets. For the many who came here just to BE an X-Men they would find themselves severely disappointed. Ninety Five percent of the student body wouldn’t be on the team.<br/><br/>With everyone in attendance the lights dimmed and the doors closed. The start of term was herald by Professor McCoy taking a step forward and loudly clearing his throat. No microphones were used and or needed. The two primary speakers had their own special “range”.<br/><br/>“Thank you all for entering promptly,” Beast said his voice loud and booming. “Many of you are return students but those that aren’t… welcome to the school! More importantly welcome to our little family here. In many ways this is more than a normal school. The eyes of the world are always on us, while it is our job to keep you from that as much as possible we ask our students to put their best foot forward as well.”<br/><br/>He paused his yellow cat like eyes scanning the crowds before he spoke again.<br/><br/>“The world is changing with the recent attack in New York City,” Beast reminded them all. “A threat has come from the stars and for once the world is talking about that instead of us. Use this time children, use this time to learn and grow and find yourself. I’ll leave the rest of the speech to our founder and our leader… Professor Charles Xavier!”<br/><br/><br/><br/><hr/><br/><br/><br/><div class="floatright">(https://hips.hearstapps.com/digitalspyuk.cdnds.net/16/19/1463047534-james-mcavoy-charles-xavier-x-men-apocalypse.jpg?resize=480:*)</div><strong>Character Name:</strong>Charles Xavier<br/><strong>Date/Time:</strong>September 23rd 10:00 Am<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Auditorium<br/><strong>Wearing:</strong>Pictured Above<br/><strong>Tagged:</strong>All<br/><strong>Warnings:</strong><br/><br/><br/><br/>He stepped back clapping as Piotr pushed the professor forward. The bald headed man smiled giving them all a soft look. He connected to all of their minds establishing himself as a friend in their collective physce. When he spoke it sounded as if he was talking out loud, in reality he talked through their minds.<br/><br/>“Hello children,” He said in a mental voice shaking with confidence and acceptance. “Many of you know me, but for those who don’t my name is Charles Xavier. Long ago I discovered my mutation, I discovered what had made me unique and what I could do that no one else could. Like everyone in this room I once feared my powers, I once couldn’t control them, and I once had to learn their place in my life. A place like this, a safe place where I could do this didn’t exist back then. When I realized this I set out to make that so. I created this school for that purpose to give you all the chance many of your senior staff didn’t.”<br/><br/>He paused letting that hang in all of their minds before speaking again.<br/><br/>“You are home and you are safe. You have a place here, a place and a chance. Many of you who were on the streets I ask you now to put your walls behind you. Those of you who came from homes where you were bullied for being different I ask you to put those walls away to. For the few that were accepted and loved I ask you to open your mind to the hardships your peers went through. Only together as a species can we achieve mutant peace.”<br/><br/>He smiled at them all.<br/><br/>“Not a normal start of term speech I know! Now that the big stuff is out of the way however it’s time to get to know each other and celebrate. A end of summer/start of term grill has been set up outside for students and staff to get to know each other and interact. Tomorrow we’ll begin the process of sorting students into classes and getting their courses chosen….”<br/><br/>“For now though welcome to the X- School!”<br/><br/><br/><br/><hr/><br/><br/><br/><br/><div align="center">(https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/xmenmovies/images/e/ec/X-Mansion_%28DP2%29.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/350?cb=20180807173732)</div><br/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;">Start Of Term Summer Grill!</span></div><br/><br/>The grilling was going on up on the large wrap around patio that encircled the mansion. The pool was open for those bold enough to go get their bathing suits. Benches were placed around the grass and their was music playing from floating speakers. The night was cool, and there wasn’t a gnat or bug in sight.<br/><br/>Piotr took to the grill, beginning the long process of trying to cook enough food for the entire student body. Professor X stood on the deck taking in the summer air and there for students who wanted to see him. The rest of the teaching staff was given the go ahead to go mingle with the students.
