Dear Mansion,

I’m not sure what is supposed to go into these things, but I was told I should introduce myself, so here it goes. Hi, I’m Nicholas Gleason, recent transplant from Wisconsin.

I usually like to keep to myself, so if you don’t see my running around much, I’m probably in my room, but don’t worry about me, I like to keep things as quiet as possible. I’m not very good around people, so don’t worry if I seem a bit on edge around you.

And if I could ask you guys and gals a quick favor, if you guys could not sneak up on me the next few weeks or anything it would be greatly appreciated. I’m a bit jumpy after a few things that happened recently.

But I look forward to working with you all this coming school year, and hope you all have a great summer. And if anyone knows of a local place that I could get some cheap clothing, I’d greatly appreciate a heads up.

Regards,
Nicholas Gleason

Welcome to the school, Nicholas. My name is Jean-Paul Beaubier, and I will be one of your teachers once the semester starts up again. I hope you settle in well -- I warn you, the people here can be relentlessly kind.

I am afraid I will not be much help on the clothing front. Perhaps one of the mademoiselles can provide more assistance?

THAT's what I was smelling all day. I mean, besides smelling a new person, dude, you're about as wound up as a room fulla clocks. Powers-reasons or Circumstances-reasons?

I can drive you over to the Goodwill and show you the thrift stores - there's a couple that are pretty mutant-friendly, since some of us (me) go through clothes like crazy (I put my goddamn claws through TWO goddamn pairs of jeans this week.) There's a stash of sweatpants and t-shirts if you're really at a loss for anything to wear in the meantime - but I don't think anyone with half a sense of anything wants to spend the rest of forever in grey sweatpants?

Hello, Nicholas. It is good to be meeting you. My name is Yvette and I will be one of your classmates next school year. I understand the quiet part - if you are wanting the company that is not too loud, I am recovering from the being hurt recently and can tell you about the school and such.

Hey there, Nicholas Gleason! I'm Janet van Dyne, college student (although it's summer now, which means VACATION!!!) and one of the RAs here. I think you'll find it easier to be around people here than it is in a lot of other places.

Bonjour. I am Jean-Phillipe Colbert. Not to be confused with Monsieur Beaubier. Which is possible given that I am going to be acting as his teaching assistant. In any event, welcome.

Welcome to the mansion, Nick. I'm Julian and I'll see you around the suite.
