So... not 1962, then...

Far from it.

[mind_over_metal]

Not as far as it could be, considering, but...

*yes, I'm staring because you feel very, very weird*

[pandoraboxed]

For some people, it could be.

[looks straight back at] . . . what?

[mind_over_metal]

Nothing, it's nothing.

How far is this for you?

[pandoraboxed]

Not much farther than I was before coming here. Then again, it doesn't matter much to me.

[mind_over_metal]

...I see. Is it far for most people, though?

[pandoraboxed]

There are more people from vastly different worlds here that makes it difficult to determine that.

[mind_over_metal]

But, in other words, you're saying that anywhere is fair game.

[pandoraboxed]

That's right.

[mind_over_metal]

How interesting.

*holds out his hand*

I'm Charles Xavier.

[pandoraboxed]

I suppose it is.

. . . [takes it] Kirigi.

[mind_over_metal]

*shakes his hand with a smile*

A pleasure to meet you. So how has your experience here been, Kirigi?

[pandoraboxed]

. . . [sighs] It's not easy trying to gauge that, but overall, it's been. Nearly acceptable.

[mind_over_metal]

So, could be worse.

[pandoraboxed]

It differs from people to people, I think.

[mind_over_metal]

Doesn't it always.
