Decisions, Decsions
New York had everything - shopping, entertainment and two of the finest educational institutions in the entire country, NYU and Columbia. Charlotte had settled into the embassy, gotten used to the city but now...now it was time to make a game plan. She couldnt just keep sleeping until noon and playing Lego Harry Potter on the Wii until the creases from the apholstry on the chair made it painful to keep sitting. She was almost 18, her father had provided one of the finest educations on the planet. College was a natural next step...and if they went off the quota system, she was a shoo in since she was fairly sure there were no other kids that would put "Genoshan" down as their nationality.

SO she flipped a coin. NYU today, Columbia on Tuesday - application in by the end of the month and she could start auditing classes in January on temporary admission. It was a good plan...dthough the tour of the dorm was making her double think that...was it supposed to smell this much of urine...? She wrinkled her nose but kept following the dorm moniter that was showing her the building.

	"It's the same reson I left home. At some point, they're going to have to come to terms with the fact that I'm not a mutant. and there are a lot of them out there that....that wont accept that. Co-existance isn't an option, that's the whole schtick." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"That's not necessarily true, Charlotte. My father was a rabid hater of humanity. Even after his initial tryst with my mother he was contemptuous. It took time, but eventually he grew to see her as an equal, even worthy of love, though he'd never admit it out loud." He sighs. "I don't pretend that it's close to your own situation, but I believe it's proof that it's not impossible."

	He smiles. "They currently live together as husband in wife, in practice if not in fact. They argue frequently..and frequently have intercourse so loud it can be heard outside." Sengai's face is a little red. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"TMI there, buddy..." But she smiled, heading int the library and following her nose to the coffee cart. "I just figure I'll take a few generals...see if anything inspires...because so far, I'm getting real close to just being a bum." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

She smiled a little, taking her coffee and handing him his chai tea. "I just....want to contribute. But I don't even know what I want to study yet...I liked science and chemistry but I dont know if I liked it enough to do it the rest of my life...I was thinking politics, that would be natural...but I dont want to spend my life around people who you can never trust."

"Who says that this has to be the year you decide? It seems too young to make such a life-altering decision before seeing what things are like first. I mean I imagine you'd want to see what life is like in the sciences or politics before committing to such a path." His tone turns a little playful. "In my opinion politics may not be for you. You speak your mind too much."

	She gave him an amused look knowing he didn't intend it the way it sounded. "I was thinking...maybe....school teacher..? My father said it'd be a complete waste..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"...I can't seperate the two. I'm just glad that we're out of the days of political marriages and doweries.." She said it dryly..but she was only half joking. "I want to make him happy Sengai..he gave me everything I could ever want..it's the least I can do." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Question: How would being a teacher be a waste? You'd essentially be educating the next generation of Genoshans. I'd assume that'd be a strong use of prop..ways to tell the young ones of his message." He hoped he hadn't said too much of "propaganda". He'd seen film clicks from Genosha portraying the man as some kind of saint or even a god. Sengai personally found them distasteful and unworthy of a man like Magneto, but he didn't want to offend Charlotte.
