Phoenix has posed:\<br\>It's another busy day at Xavier's and they are really in need of new teachers. Jean had heard of the mutant Copycat, and after Xavier located her with cerebro, she was co tasted for an interview and invitation to join, both the Xmen and the school as a teacher. While Jean would leave it up to Scott to handle her Xmen recruitment, she was to tackle hiring her as a new teacher, if she fit the bill.\<br\>\<br\>After contacting Vanessa, Jeans waits patiently in her office to meet her in person. While she waits she looks through Vanessa's file, reviewing her information. A large jug of iced tea and glasses sit on a tray on her desk.
Copycat has posed:\<br\>Vanessa Carlysle Knocks slowly as she opens the door and peeks in her outfit is risky to say the least but her white hair, blue skin and those red eye's tend to be a give away that the person your dealing with is a mutant . but she comes in and give a carful hi . She walks in " Your jean right? " her voice is rather rich and velvet like that rubs your skin " Your in charge of teachers for the kids? " .
Phoenix has posed:\<br\>Jean Grey looks up from her papers, smiling and nodding at Vanessa. "You are Vanessa, I presume?" She climbs to her feet, greeting her at the door with an offer of a handshake. "A pleasure to meet you. I am Jean, we chatted briefly on the phone. Welcome to Xavier's. Please, have a seat, can I offer you some iced tea?" she waves towards the pitcher on the desk before stepping back to her desk.
Copycat has posed:\<br\>Vanessa Carlysle Smiles and shakes the hand back " Thanks yeah I guess " She smiles sititng down with a almost feral grace as she sits and crosses those long blue legs of hers. She brushes some white hair from her face " I wanna say thank you .. Its " She sighs " It's nice not having to hide in my room when I wanna relax and feel normal " .
Phoenix has posed:\<br\>Jean Grey smiles warmly at Vanessa, easing back in her chair. "I am sorry to hear that, Vanessa, however rest assured that this is a safe place and you are welcome to stay here as long as you like. However, I will have to ask you to change your attire. As this position will involve a lot of interaction with minors, our teachers are required to set an example for the younger generation. I trust that you have some more..Tasteful clothing packed?"
Copycat has posed:\<br\>Vanessa Carlysle Looks down " What's wrong with these clothes ? " she cocks her head before she nods ' Of course, she seems so sit there as you watch her outfit change. The skirt gets longer the top just closes up, a she looks over ' Is that better? " She asks, having switched the clothing just by thinking about it .
Phoenix has posed:\<br\>Jean Grey arches a brow, duly impressed by her shifting ability, and smiles, nodding. "Indeed. Much appreciated. I should have known your shapeshifting abilities extended to your clothing as well. Let's see.." she scans her file briefly, thoughtfully, "Looks like you can shift your form to duplicate other forms down to the genetic level, is that correct?"
Copycat has posed:\<br\>Vanessa Carlysle Nods as she smiles " here let me show you ' She changes her hair gets red and in moments she's basicly Jean looking at Herself as she then leans on her hand <I Copy everything> she sends to jean telepathicly <Longer I'm around somebody the more I can copy > . She quickly shifts back though " But it wears me out not to be myself for too long.. My powers are new i'm still learning "
Phoenix has posed:\<br\>Jean Grey blinks, rubbing her temples. "Oh, I see..That's..Quite impressive. Good to know." she smiles, maybe a bit uneasily, "It hardly needs to be said, but I must say it anyway. Powers must never be used to trick others, to impersonate or to control others. We are here to learn to better control our powers, not manipulate others." it's not a warning, just a caveat. "Just keep that in mind when learning and experimenting with your own, that's all I ask."
Copycat has posed:\<br\>Vanessa Carlysle Lifts an eyebrow and gives that already been burned by that speach before " Sure " She leans back in her chair looking alot less that she was before as if reverting to something else . "I'm not a danger don't worry "
Phoenix has posed:\<br\>Jean Grey smiles warmly at her, reassuringly, "It's alright, you've done nothing wrong. I just wanted to put that out there to let you know that it is a general rule. As teachers we myst uphold a certain standard, and act as role models for students. That's all. So what else can you do..Do you have any specific skills?"
Copycat has posed:\<br\>Vanessa Carlysle Sighs " None that I think you want.. I don't think you want me teaching your kids how to survive on the streets ". She looks around " I didn't exactly grow up with a silver spoon. " She says yep, she's a little miffed But she is clearly trying to think for a bit then she remembers something " I'm a good cook, I used to work in a bar and restaurant".
Phoenix has posed:\<br\>Jean Grey hmms and nods thoughtfully, taking some notes. "That's perfectly alright, not all mutants are teachers and not all mutants are Xmen. You are not required to be teach but it is certainly an asset." she arches a thoughtful brow at the mention of work in the food industry. "Oh, hmm. That's interesting. We do have one good cook, but he does not teach cooking. We could always use a cooking instructor. Do you have any questions for me so far?"
Copycat has posed:\<br\>Vanessa Carlysle shakes her head " I like kids I really do " Is all she says " They need to be protected and shown how to survive in this world 'she looks at her " I'd rather the know how to surive than be thrown to the wolves like we were "
Phoenix has posed:\<br\>Jean Grey hmms, rubbing her chin thoughtfully, "You mentioned you have survival skills of sorts. Care to elaborate?" she studies the other woman thoughtfully as she says that, seemingly sizing her up still.
Copycat has posed:\<br\>Vanessa Carlysle Blinks " well I was a hooker " she kinda leaves it there " also been a stripper but if your talking wilderness I learned some starting fires and making shelters kinda stuff , also good with a knife making traps and stuff "
Phoenix has posed:\<br\>Jean Grey grimaces a bit, "I see, that's..Some variety, however I am sure you know how to take care of yourself. That's good. Perhaps just focus on the wilderness survival however. Of course you will receive some basic self defence training but I suspect you already know how to defend yourself to some degree. Scott can go over any questions you might have about wishing to join the Xmen. In the meantime welcome aboard." she hands sone papers across the desk along with a pen, "Just need you to sign these and then I can give you a tour and a dorm."
