The disturbing disturbs.

[x_empath]

I see we are repopulating the mansion, considering the group that went missing and assumed dead. Oh yes, people do talk however their high strung emotions speak volumes lately. I do not suppose it would have been considered priority to start a safety course for the younger generations? It seems self defense is not effective enough.

All kinds of productive, Manuel...

[x-empath.livejournal.com]

Merely concerned.

[x-wallflower-.livejournal.com]

Manuel? What are you doing? You know better then this. I'd have thought being an empath would give you insight into what not to say in order to not hurt people.

Those that have gone missing, they're our friends. For some people they're even more. Please don't do this, okay? It hurts people. You don't want to hurt people, do you?

I am pointing out a priority that I feel should be a priority. Do not mistaken it for anything else.

[x-wasp.livejournal.com]

OK, seriously? They have a program, and it wasn't any of the kids who went missing. Also, for some stuff it doesn't matter how prepared you are or how well you can fight. So... I'm not really seeing what your point is here.

[x-wallflower-.livejournal.com]

There's better ways to do that. For somebody who can read emotions, you seem pretty bad at diplomacy.

The younger students are being trained to take care of themselves. It's not something that can be rushed, or they'll miss things.

And frankly, I'd much rather see them enjoying themselves and being teenagers while they can be then walking around here like it's the end of the world and they're only moments from death.

You've lived here a long time, barring unforeseen absenses. I'd think you of all people would know that the teachers and Professor Xavier know what they're doing.

Um... are you on drugs or something? What are you even talking about here?

[x-empath.livejournal.com]

The heads understand, so I need not explain further.

[x-wasp.livejournal.com]

Uh... sure. Whatever you say.

[x-sway.livejournal.com]

Somehow I doubt this comment is going to do much to settle the emotions of those involved. However true you feel the sentiment is, the phrasing is in poor taste, Manuel.

[x-empath.livejournal.com]

Thank you for being the third to point that out. Naturally, this does not sway any of my responses.

[x-sway.livejournal.com]

Of course not. That would indicate having significant level of empathy with the others who would be hurt by this. Truly, my surprise is less with the content of your message than with the lack of finesse with which it was delivered.

[x-volcanic.livejournal.com]

There are some things you just can't prepare people for! And having new people around is never a bad thing!

[x-empath.livejournal.com]

You can prepare them for the worse. There are people here who _have_ endured terrible things. I do believe that can be put to some good.

[x-volcanic.livejournal.com]

I don't think anyone... isn't not prepared? Or at least aware that is can happen! But not all of us are X-Men. Or have powers with particularly disasterous results.

[x-gambit.livejournal.com]

I think you should stick to being highly concerned about your own personal safety, and let other people worry about everyone else's, homme.

[x-prism.livejournal.com]

Safety course? The only safe option is sending everyone home. They can't protect us, obviously.

[x-penance.livejournal.com]

Home is not safe for all of us, and some of the students do not have the home to go to, Karolina.

[x-prism.livejournal.com]

Yes, but I do.

[x-wasp.livejournal.com]

A lot of the stuff that happened recently didn't even happen at the school, though.

[x-prism.livejournal.com]

You think it was total random coincidence that two staff members, a former student and...who ever the Pete guy is were attacked and murdered? Nothing to do with the school at all? That's idiotic.

[x-copycat.livejournal.com]

As has been pointed out, it wasn't the kids who were attacked. As should also have been pointed out, one of those missing is an FBI agent and I'm fairly certain whatever "safety" course we could provide wouldn't be as extensive as the training of an FBI agent. Things happen no matter how well equipped you are to deal with a situation. Morale is down because it's the holidays and people who are deeply cared about may be dead, definitely are missing and were definitely put through a lot of pain when they were attacked.

The only problem I see here is that you can't deal with the emotions you're picking up on, not that they exist in the first place.

Diaf.

yesterday.

can you BE more tactless Mannie? Actually...never mind, I know you can.

[x-empath.livejournal.com]

Merely 'opening a cane of worms' and see whatever sprouts. Yes? There seems to be a lot of pent up, negative energy. Despite the tone, I was being sincere.

[x-blink.livejournal.com]

...eat worms.
