Greetings

[x_medusa]

My sister informed me that new residents of the mansion are expected to introduce themselves on this journal system. Greetings to all, I am Medusalith Amaquelin of Attilan, but most people call me Medusa. And, fitting enough, my power has to do with control of my hair. That is what occurs when a mutant with the gift of precognition tells your parents what your abilities will be prior to your birth.

I will be attending Columbia University in the fall, which I have just realized means that courses begin this Tuesday. Are there any other individuals who live here that will be attending Columbia?

Crystal has told me a lot about Xavier's and all the residents, so I am curious to see how her descriptions will match up with my experiences.

Is your local precognitive always that accurate? That is quite an esoteric prediction to make. I presume that you do not have snakes for hair, but just simply control of it?

And I have almost forgotten an introduction. I am Marie-Ange Colbert, and I am the local precognitive. I am no longer a student in residence, however, as I graduated.. but I would be.. I believe someone, perhaps Forge put it as "The spooky French chick with more clothes than sanity."

Hello, Medusa. Welcome to the madhouse. Before your sister uses that particular greeting as proof that we're all crazy here, I'll just tell you it's something of a tradition for me to welcome people that way.

I'm Lorna. Your sister thinks I'm the devil. I promise that I'm really just a minor imp if anything.

I think Kitty was our sole Columbia student and she was offered a transfer out to California about a month back.

Welcome to Xavier's, Medusa. I'm David Haller. You picked a good time to come in -- I think we're between excitement right now. I hope you enjoy your stay.

Another redhead, hurray!

Hi, I'm Terry, the Irish one. I'll be going to Pace when classes start.

Hello, Medusa. I'm Scott Summers, the headmaster. I'm also in the last of the pre-term rush at the moment, so I'm spending a lot of time in the office this weekend. If you'd like to stop by at some point, I'd be happy to tell you a little more about the school and answer any questions you might have.

Hello Medusa, I am Julio. I am glad to finally meet you. Your sister has told me a lot about you.

Yo! Sup?

I'm Clarice and I don't actually live here anymore (I live in the dorms at the University of Maryland) but it's home anyways. I'm also around a lot on evenings, weekends and whenever I get bored.

What kind of a nut are you?

Oh WOW!

HI!

My name's Mondo! I am very happy to be saying hello!

Your sister is a wonderful person! She's said so much about you! I feel like I already know you!

Do you like spam?

Good morning! Or afternoon, by the looks. Gah, where'd the day go?

Any way, I'd be Amanda. I met your sister and she seemed like a good sort. I'm not actually enrolled at Columbia, but I do use the library there a lot, and my former tutor used to teach there, so if you needed someone to show you around the place, I'd be happy to help. We could meet up after work - I'm one of the Snow Valley Memorial Research Centre crew.

Good afternoon and welcome. My name is Amara Aquilla and I hail from Nova Roma, Brazil. I am sorry that I did not greet you sooner. This journal system takes some getting used to and I am not in the habit of reading it every day, nor am I in the habit of using it as a form of communication. I feel much more comfortable speaking face-to-face.

Nevertheless, welcome, and I hope to meet you soon, maybe once you've settled in.

I always feel vaguely stilted and awkward replying to these. I'm not really sure why.

Anyhow. My name is Doug Ramsey. I work at the Snow Valley Memorial Center here in the city, along with several other former students and faculty, like Amanda. I still come back to the mansion on a fairly regular basis (if nothing else, it's fun to harass Forge), though, so you'll likely see me around.

Oops, this is a bit late. I was just catching up.

I'm Rahne Sinclair; I'm from Kinross-shire in Scotland, and another of the surprising number of redheads. :) If you see a wolf about, that's also me.

'Tis Westchester University for me, not Columbia so you'll not be seeing me in lessons, but I'll be about here quite a lot. I'm working for Elpis now, and I help some in the infirmary and in the kitchen when I can.
