The X-men run missions and work together with the NYPD, striving to maintain a peaceful balance between humans and mutants. When it comes to a fight, they won't back down from protecting those who need their help.
Haven presents itself as a humanitarian organization for activists, leaders, and high society, yet mutants are the secret leaders working to protect and serve their kind. Behind the scenes they bring their goals into reality.
From the time when mutants became known to the world, SUPER was founded as a black-ops division of the CIA in an attempt to classify, observe, and learn more about this new and rising threat.
The Syndicate works to help bring mutantkind to the forefront of the world. They work from the shadows, a beacon of hope for mutants, but a bane to mankind. With their guiding hand, humanity will finally find extinction.
Since the existence of mutants was first revealed in the nineties, the world has become a changed place. Whether they're genetic misfits or the next stage in humanity's evolution, there's no denying their growing numbers, especially in hubs like New York City. The NYPD has a division devoted to mutant related crimes. Super-powered vigilantes help to maintain the peace. Those who style themselves as Homo Superior work to tear society apart for rebuilding in their own image.

He sighed releafed because it seems that staying there wasn't really a problem. "Well that's good at least that's one worry less for me then. and yeah a small tour would be nice. I already got the impression that this place is much bigger then it seems." He watched him looking something up before he walked over whit a key asking if he was ready.
"Yeah I'm ready. I haven't brought over much but ill make sure to move my stuff over here after everything is set." He takes a step back letting you guide the way. "After you ." He smiled lightly obviously interested to see this mansion now decently.

>> "Yeah I'm ready. I haven't brought over much but ill make sure to move my stuff over here after everything is set."
Shin nodded. “I’ll make sure to clear you with mansion security, so next time you come to the gates, you can just give them your name and they’ll buzz you in.” He liked that about the mansion. Security was tight, but it could be discrete.
As for the tour, Shin considered where to start. There were the grounds outside, the library, the classrooms, the living areas, and all the other important things. He started by leading Brian out of the office, and to the kitchen. Along the way, he gestured towards a dining room. “That’s the dining room.” He stated in passing. “And this is the kitchen. It’s stocked by the mansion. You can take what you need, and eat here. Usually, we’ve got a pretty good selection.” He nodded to the fridge.
The kitchen was fairly modern, with clean-looking countertops, appliances, and a table or two for eating. In front of the sink, a countertop island area stood for working of food preparation. At the table, two mansion students sat, conversing. One wore a red t-shirt and blue jeans. The other wore a pink Hello Kitty T-shirt, and a smile. She hid the smile behind a cup of coffee as the boy in the red shirt said something funny.
Shin turned away from the couple, and lead the way back into the hall. “What would you like to see next? We’ve got a library, classrooms, living areas, a pool…” He counted on his fingers as he listed things off. Shin would need more fingers to list it all.
He nodded as he was told about the security measures but then again probably they would need it because not everybody was happy whit mutants. Pleased to hear about those security measures he walked along whit you towards the dining area. Amused he watched the two students talk to each other. This place would be a very interesting gathering spot for dreams. He almost couldn't wait to spend his first night here and take a discrete look around. Young people always had a amusing creative imagination that often resulted in interesting results.
After finishing looking trough the modern kitchen he turned back to shin. "Well the living areas would be nice too see ..." suddenly he blinked surprised hearing that they also had a pool somewhere "do they really have a pool here ? Well this place must be even bigger then i first taught." He smirked as he realised the small vision of the Mansion that he saw in a dream of one of the inhabitants here was only a small part of this pretty big complex. As he followed the man to the living areas he wondered. "What kind of classes do they organise here actually. I am doubting if i should get a job or study further." He smiles as he actually had a idea what he wanted to do.

It was always either ‘pool’ or ‘library’ that got people to pause. That, or ‘basketball court’, ‘danger room’, and ‘garden’. The mansion certainly had a lot to boast about. “Yeah. There’s a pool around back. Good during the Summer.” Shin replied casually, as he lead the way to the living quarters. “There’s also a basketball court and a garden.”
As they reached the top of the stairs, Shin glanced back at Brian’s question. What kind of classes did they have?
“The mansion teaches grades all the way up to the final level in high school. We have some skilled math and science teachers, as well as a language instructor, and every other class you’d expect a normal school to have.” He replied. “If you’re wanting to further your education, I’d suggest college. It’s certainly worthwhile.”
Shin paused, and gestured to the hallways. There was a center one, a right, and a left. "The center one's for adults. The others are for younger guys and gals. There's a curfew for them." Shin stated. He walked down the center one, stopping in front of one of the doors. He turned, and held out a key for Brian. "This one's your room. It's fairly empty right now. Feel free to add your own personal touches. Just don't tear down any walls." He looked Brian in the eye. "Some people do that."
Brian nodded as he took his time to look outside every time they passed a window. It seems that this place was WAY bigger then he had taught before, a private library, a pool sport courts and a giant garden on top of that. He would have his work if he wanted to explore everything in this place.
He nods as he hears about the classes in the place. "I think i might go study psychology. It actually wasn't really my first choice but i actually picked up a interest for it since dreams can tell a lot about people. Maybe later i can do something where i can put my powers to good use. Everybody wants to have nice dreams and a good night of sleep. I know at first hand how much dreams can affect people." He shrugs he looked around noticing 3 hallways on top of the stairs. "But i guess i better first find a job so that i don't instantly get into money trouble after arriving here."
Holding out his hand he got the key from the door they where standing in front of. "Thanks, and don't worry I'm not planning on doing any major redecorating of that kind. I like to keep things simple." Looking back up sincerely in the other man's eyes believing him instantly when he told him that others teared down walls before.

Shin listened as Brian mused about what he might pursue. “Psychology is cool,” he nodded. Shin’s mind latched onto the other thing he’d said. “And wait. What? You… make people sleep, and control dreams?” He looked at Brian again. He’d skimmed the power description, but he hadn’t actually realized what Brian could do until he’d stated as much first-hand. Shin scratched the back of his neck. “I… uh… I’ve been having trouble sleeping, now that you mention it… a nice dream might be… nice.”
He let go of the keys, and nodded at Brian. He didn’t seem like the type to renovate mansions with wings.
He laughed as he heard the request chuckling a bit "Nice dreams are always nice indeed." He opened the door and took a look around the empty room nodding appreciating "This seems perfect... Better then i hoped for actually." He closed the door again pocketing his keys. "Well since your giving me a tour and all it would only be nice to repay the favour to you. And since giving nice dreams is what i do i don't see why i shouldn't do it. "He puts his hand in his pockets digging up a notebook and started to write something down before looking up "A memo to myself." He smiles a bit as he explains himself "I get sleepy rather quickly because of my powers, that's why i write down what i may not forget. Shin was your name wasn't it ? Well how about when you want to go to sleep you come to me and ill make sure that you have a good nights rest. How does that sounds ?"

"That sounds nice," Shin replied lightly. He smiled. A moment passed. Shin looked down the hall as someone ran by. "So, did you want to get the rest of the tour, or did you want to settle in here?" Shin asked Brian. "There's still a lot that could be shown."
He shrugs "I still need to bring some stuff over later on today then so i have time eneuh to finish this tour first. So whats next on the list." Smiling he walks away after closing his room again and looked up at you. He finished noting things down and slid his note book back into one of his pockets of his jackets. "Lead the way."

Shin smiled, and lead the way down a hall. "The library." The library was a good place to start. With its three stories of books, and all the space for reading and relaxing, it was one of Shin's favorites. The pair came out on a mezzanine overlooking a lower level. Shin gestured at all the bookcases below.
"The library," He announced. "Three stories full of books. We have it all. So, what kind of books do you like?"
Brian smiled as he looked in after passing trough the hall and nodded impressed as he announced that they where inside the libary. Looking around he surprised himself at the amouth of books that where all shown there until Shin asked him what he liked to read. "Well I do read a lot and even tough i like more ... seriouse books now and then i prefer fictional story's... from the fantasy theme ... For somebody whit my kind of ability's those books can be pretty inspiring" He smiled as he stopped looking down and turned his attention back to you.

Fantasy. Interesting. "I'm more into science fiction, myself. Seeing possible futures, and reading about all the different social conventions... it's interesting. Anywho, I guess I can show you the kitchen and living room next?" Shin shrugged,
He led Brian to the kitchen, then the dining room. The tour continued. Finally, Shin had shown Brian most of the mansion's insides, and the gardens and basketball courts out back. He stopped in front of Brian's room, and smiled. "Guess that's everything. Good luck in the mansion. Later."
Shin turned, and walked down the hall, leaving Brian to himself.
((OOC: I'm wrapping up the tour, so we don't take ages exploring the mansion. Thanks for the thread. It was fun. ))
After the tour he smiled "Yeah this place looks great and im sure ill find my place here. And feel free to drop by whenever you have some dream or sleep troubles im sure i can help you out." Grinning he took his keys before walking out. He would get his stuf and settle in as soon as possible.
