Twenty-Three [Video]

[Anyone even vaguely familiar with the library at the Xavier Institute will recognise it immediately, save for one difference; there aren't any books. Instead, there are hundreds and hundreds of cats all over the place, all black with white stripes or splotches. The camera pans around to reveal kittens and cats on every possible surface of the library - on the shelves, the stepladder, the chairs and tables, the returns desk. The camera finishes on Vivi, who has two kittens balancing on him and several more cats exploring. One of them tries to bat the communicator away, but Vivi holds it still.]

Um... if anyone here is allergic to cats, I'd suggest not coming to the Xavier Institute library today. I'm... not sure what's happened, but all the books have turned into cats.

[He picks up a cat and moves it closer to the camera; the image blurs for a bit before refocusing, and the black stripes on its coat turn out to be text. Vivi puts that cat on the floor, in time to catch another one with a children's book cover on its fur dash past.]

If anyone sees any black and white cats with text on their fur - or cats with pictures on them - could they return them to the library please? Or maybe hold onto them until whatever turned them into cats goes away and makes them turn into books again?

[Private to Dr. McCoy]
I think the library's going to need cleaning after this...

There wasn't any magic [--unless you counted her ability to morph as magic, but that was actually rooted in advanced alien technology--] where I came from, so I've been pretty amazed to hear about it.

[Then:] Useful magic? [There's a short pause, and the only audio sound is the thud of her shoes against the sidewalk for a few seconds]

Did you get into fights often, back home?

[It's weird. His answer was almost a complete mirror of her own story, back home--she'd seen combat too, she'd had friends to look out for her as they all fought in the same war. Her own powers had been basically tailored to combat.

And so maybe it's why she decides to answer the way she does, in a quieter voice:]
I understand how that is. Back home, we had to fight too.

Was there a war going on where you lived?
