Congratulations. How do you feel?

Voice

[tooksteps]

Much improved now that my access seems to be fully restored.

Voice

[ctu_savior]

That's good. Then I guess there's no reason you can't go back to work. You sure you're up to it?

Voice

[tooksteps]

Oh, yes. I have been extremely bored.

Although... the authorities do want me to go to school, they claim I am too young not to.

Voice

[ctu_savior]

I think you should. There are things you can learn there that you can't learn electronically. It will help you adapt.

Voice

[tooksteps]

[There's a pause - she is not amused.]

I see.

Voice

[ctu_savior]

You don't agree.

Voice

[tooksteps]

I am not human, I do not understand this persistence towards making me act as though I am.

Voice

[ctu_savior]

You're not a program anymore, either. Acting as though you are won't help, but the people at Xavier's might be able to.

I know you've already been programmed with all the information ordinary students learn. You wouldn't be asked to do anything beneath your capabilities.

Voice

[tooksteps]

I do not approve of this idea.

Voice

[ctu_savior]

It won't cut into your work schedule, if that's what you're worried about. These people specialize in helping students deal with powers and changes that they never wanted. They could do things for you that I can't.

Voice

[tooksteps]

I am to presume that you are going to insist?

Voice

[ctu_savior]

I'm going to insist that you give it a try. If it doesn't work for you, then it doesn't work. I might have authority over you legally and as your superior, but you're not a child and I'm not going to treat you like one.

[ooc: Do you want to do this school thing?]

Voice

[tooksteps]

Very well. I will... try.

[ooc: I was planning on it, she'll have a post up in a day or so, looking at the school.]

Thank you.
