Xavier Institute Renovation ❨ OPEN TO ALL ❩
Date & Time: Takes place from September 1st until September 15th—roughly 2 weeks!
Location: This building, which is a few major city blocks away from the Initiative Hold and only slightly tucked away behind some flora.
Characters: Everyone who's interested!
Summary: After Charles' post here, he's recruited everyone that he can to help refurbish this building that he received permission to kind of "take over" from the Initiative. Using all of their combined skills, they willbecome Captain Planet! restore this building into a functioning school!
Warnings: None!
Charles had wondered to himself whether or not it would take a great deal of convincing to get the Initiative to agree to his building of a school. He was surprised at their level of lenience, but they themselves had admitted that it was due only to the amount of work he'd been doing for them in exchange. With the established requirements that Charles continue to assist the Initiative in their archiving work, they agreed to help finance his institute and allow him free reign of this abandoned school building—however, they offered only two inspections and short classifications with which to make the building safe for renovation, and then vehemently left the rest of it to him.
Not minding one bit about that, Charles had the utmost confidence in those that he'd recruited both to help refurbish and to help teach. It was enough to bring him more optimism, in fact, in this horror of a world where he'd begun to believe there could be no such thing. Plenty of individuals with plenty of splendid and certainly outstanding powers had offered their assistance, and now Charles waited. With Adam's help, he'd managed to locate and successfully navigate the Private Messaging system on the network—and he'd sent a message to everyone who'd showed interest two days ago with their whereabouts and their plans.
Address enclosed, Charles now had himself seated on a—thankfully dusted—chair at a desk near the entrance of the school building. He was writing up his own itinerary, as well as preparing a book to keep track of those who'd come to help in the interest of said compensation. Each individual would be greeted with a friendly grin and hearty handshake, and Charles would jot down their name and tell them where they could begin.
❨ NOTE: The way this is set up is meant to be kind of like our mission logs, so everyone can reply to the comments on this entry with their own open posts to tag into based on what they want their character to be doing! Also, if you just want to make your own open post without the guidance of one of the comments left, or in reference to this overall post, that is perfectly fine too! Just leave your comment to the entry directly, in that case. ❩

Hello, this is Charles Xavier. I've received word that the building has been deemed safe for refurbishment and renovation, and clearance has been granted to me by the Initiative. Work will begin on September 1st, and shall carry on as long as it is necessary. There will be food and refreshments available during the renovation, and as much compensation for your time as I am able to offer will be given.
Thank you again for your support, and I hope to see you there.

Then he's changing subjects alongside her. "As long as it is not fire engine red, perhaps... that could suit it,"

Charles shakes his head. "Not awkward at all," he says, though he had yet to consider it. He nods, smiles. "I will make a point to set something up—small elevators, perhaps? It shouldn't be hard, especially if I speak with Tony about the possibility!
Ah, and that is wonderful! I can show you to the dining area,"

"You can do lifts! Like they have for stages, they're pretty simple. No top, and the fourth side is one big swinging door, but they're easy to figure out and install right next to the main stairs."
She mainly likes the idea of being able to watch people while using a necessary means of travel.
"Lead away, Captain!" She gestured grandly for Charles to take point, grinning again. Her sandwiches were nothing to write home about, but they'd been something she'd done herself. Wasn't that something to be proud of? They were edible, and didn't look half bad!

"I am surprised, a bit, by the turn out! There are enough people here to feed so many; ah, and everything's been done in a timely fashion. Honestly, I had worried about the potential enthusiasm... but so far, it's been perfect," he's saying this as he leads her to an almost-croweded-but-not-quite cafeteria scenario, sliding his hands into his pockets as he steps through the propped-open doors.

Is she missing something prematurely? Once homework rolls around, Collette's sure she'll be less than impressed, but for right now this seems like the thing to do.
"There was no reason to be pessimistic! People want some kind of normal no matter where they're at. Plus, natural curiosity is a pretty good motivator."
