WESTCHESTER, NEW YORK: XAVIER MANSION

You are seated in the library in one of the large chairs, perusing a large book. The History and Development of Human Genetics. Fascinating stuff, you could read this all day if you had to but there's other things to be taken care of today. You do have a house full of young mutants that need training after all.

The CHESS BOARD is in front of you. To your left is a DECANTER of scotch on the sideboard table.

Exits are EAST to the kitchen, WEST to the foyer, and SOUTH through the french doors leading outside.

What do you want to do?

Somehow you manage to make it to your feet and to the kitchen without falling down.

XAVIER MANSION: KITCHEN

The kitchen is large and spacious for a mansion this size. Nearby, ALEX is having a large triple decker sandwich. At least you think it's ALEX, right now he looks like a blurry mess thanks to the scotch you have consumed. ALEX gives you a confused look as you try to stay upright.

The FLOOR rushes up to meet you and you say hello back as it smacks you in the face. You contemplate the FLOOR for a few seconds, wondering why this particular shade of yellow and red was chosen. Unfortunately for you though, the red is not part of the floor tiling, it's BLOOD from hitting your NOSE against the FLOOR. [HP 18/20] Ow.

ALEX hurries over and freaks out over the BLOOD, not knowing what to do.

>Get up. Tell Alex that you're fine. Get an ice pack or something.

You struggle to a sitting position and calmly tell ALEX that you are fine. Of course, it doesn't come out entirely coherent due to you being smashed to the gills but you're fairly certain you at least got ALEX'S name right.

ALEX is still freaking out, which isn't good considering how volatile his ability is.
Do you...

>Telepathically tell him to calm down
>Manipulate him to fall asleep
>Duck before his powers activate and slice you in two

Your hand moves quickly, putting two fingers to the side of your head as you reach for Alex's mind and give him a telepathic message.

No, wait, Alex! Calm down. I'm alright.

The voice in his head surprises him enough and he does calm down, not wanting to slice you in two accidentally. Whew, that was close!

Exits are WEST back to the library and EAST to the foyer.

You have a bloody nose and are very drunk.

You manage to drag yourself off the floor and stumble towards the foyer. Your nose drips blood all the way there.

XAVIER MANSION: FOYER

This is the front room before the rest of the house. There's a TELEPHONE here on a small table, presumably for the butler to reach the rest of the house, had there been a butler. There's also a TISSUE BOX.

Exists are NORTH out the front doors and WEST back to the kitchen. There is also a staircase going UP to the bedrooms.
