[Its been a couple of weeks but oh does he recall the feeling of waking up.]

Mr. Morgan? Hello, I'm Charles Xavier. I'm afraid I haven't heard of anyone named Debra Morgan being here with us but ah as for where you are, its a planet known as Coruscant.

[darklydreamndex]

[Sorry, what.]

...Planet. I'm on a different planet.

[excessivehubris]

Ah, yes I'm afraid that would be the case.

You're on Coruscant, one of the central planets to the Galactic Republic and ... wait, I'm getting ahead of myself. If you look about your room, you should see a robot sort of thing staring at you in a vaguely creepy manner. Its called a 'droid' and if you ask it, it will produce clothes for you.

[Because finding out you've been drawn into an intergalactic war is just that much easier if you have pants on.]

[darklydreamndex]

...

You're right. It is being vaguely creepy as it stares at me.

[Hold on a moment while Dexter wrangles clothes out of the thing, and quickly throws them on.]

Alright, now that that's taken care of... [I really need to get a new set of knives. I don't think this Revan guy was nice enough to grab them out of my trunk.] ...you said 'Galactic Republic? So, people can go from planet to planet here?

[excessivehubris]

[Knives? Charles blinks as that thought came across clearly and he puzzles it a little, even as he focuses on Dexter's verbal question.]

I am lead to believe that they can, yes. Though I have not traveled beyond this planet since I arrived, though that was only a few weeks ago.

My name is Charles Xavier, Mr. Morgan and though the circumstances are a bit unconventional, its a pleasure to meet you.

[darklydreamndex]

[Dexter is completely unaware of Xavier's abilities, of course, and so his thoughts continue on unimpeded.]

So you were just taken from your place not long ago - it was Earth, right? Normal Earth?

[With the Miami Metro Police Department. And pulled pork sandwiches. And serial killers that happen to be my long lost brother.]

Ah, pleasure to meet you. Sorry I can't shake your hand through this thing.

[excessivehubris]

[Only decades of schooling his features not to react to what he hears keeps Charles from arching his eyebrows at the comments coming from this man's mind. Serial killer sibling? This might require some further investigation. Finding no resistance, Dexter's mind responding to him as a normal human, Charles starts to peek a little deeper.]

Yes, normal ... well, normal for me anyway, Earth. Circa 1962 to be exact. Your own year would be?

[darklydreamndex]

[And Charles will find some interesting things lurking along the outer skirts of Dexter's consciousness. Including thoughts of his last kill - Little Chino strapped to his kill table - the need for the location of a new hardware store, an air conditioner, and blood slides. A routine.]

2006, for me. Is there anyone else from your Earth here?

[excessivehubris]

[And this would mark the second round of murders he's bumped into today, which Charles has got to figure to be some sort of record. Its not just the murder he gets but a flash of the impression that this is a meted out justice and he's got to draw back for a moment to get his own internal bearings.]

I'm sorry is there ... oh, anyone from ... ah, yes actually. I've been lucky in that regard, to have a few people here from my dimension and timeline. Though I believe there are quite a few Outworlders here who come from points closer to 2006 than 1962.

[darklydreamndex]

[Dexter was about to respond, but he catches Xavier's almost pained look and he arches a brow.]

Is there something wrong? You look like you have a headache or something.

[excessivehubris]

Still getting used to living on a planet that's one big city. [He covers smoothly, again, used to the little white fibs now and again.] You'll find it takes a little adjustment period.

[darklydreamndex]

Ah, yes. I think I might just have to take a look around this place. I doubt it will be anything like Miami.

[excessivehubris]

[That makes Charles chuckle.]

No, no, you're unlikely to find any pulled pork sandwiches here.

[Wait, that hadn't been spoken had it? Charles keeps his face impassive as inwardly he curses his slip. Dealing with Bellatrix really has thrown him for a loop today.]

However, there are wonderful sights to see and I highly recommend the Corellian brandy. You'll find an adequate map on your datapad but it might be a good idea to get a local guide, so to speak, at least for your first foray out. Its good to know which species not to stare at least you tick them off.
