Greetings and a request

Greetings and a request.
(I do believe I have this figured out - at least partly. The "update journal" page is a little difficult to misinterpret.)
Greetings to staff and students. Thank you to everyone I've met so far for helping me to settle in. You can find me in room 324 and if my door is slightly open, please take that as a sign that company is welcome.
As some have already noticed, I have brought my companion animal with me. Her name is Delphine and she is a purebred Siamese cat (if I've done the icon choice correctly, this post should be accompanied by a small picture of her). Delphine is allowed to go outside the house but I must ask that people refrain from giving her treats, at least those that would normally make a cat happy.
Delphine has a genetic disorder that makes her very ill when she eats animal protein. If you give her anything with animal proteins in it (including dairy products), the least that will happen is that she will promptly be sick on your shoes. At worst, she will need an emergency trip to the vet. She does, however, adore grapes, almonds, cheerios (anything she can chase around the floor, really), and bits of banana. For those of you with small friends, Delphine has the good sense not to attempt to eat small animals and, should one get into her mouth, she will spit it out and be most offended. She gets on well with other animals, in general.
Unfortunately, Delphine makes up for her inability to hunt small animals by stalking laundry and pens. Her favourite "prey" are bundled socks, though she will settle for underthings if she cannot get those. She is also an inveterate thief of pens, preferably your last one. Her "hunting" is not limited to those items but those are the most popular victims. I apologize in advance for this, I simply can't train her out of it. She's so proud of herself when she brings home her "kills". I will attempt to return these things as promptly as possible.

Uh, well, yes. I apologise for the abrupt greeting earlier. I was busy with a student project, I've been working on.
Welcome to the School, Jean-Peal. My name is Elisabeth Braddock, Betsy for short and I was am a teacher at Xavier's Institute. I truly hope you and Delphine enjoy your stay here with us.
If you need help with anything, I'm down the hall in Room 313. I'll be here all day, mostly.
Oh, and if you manage to find any photographs of myself lying about. Don't mind them, it would seem that my photoalbum has exploded. It's a common occurence around these parts, lately.

(I was wondering about those. Well, whoever took the one I found in the fridge downstairs while putting away the soy milk I just picked up definitely has a good eye for light and shadow... among other things. If you'd like it back, drop by any time.)
Nice to meet you, Betsy. You did look preoccupied yesterday, no offense taken. Hopefully we'll get to meet properly later.

Lorna has an icon for that line. I'd start finding something big and nonferrous to use as a shield. :)

Thank you, Angelo. I do hope Ms. Dane doesn't chastize you too much for stealing her catch-phrase.

But I suppose too late to be fashionable, unlike Shinobi. :)
I'm Doug Ramsey, resident mutant decoder ring. I'm also dating your French TA, and if you should need any help in languages more esoteric than French, I'm probably your guy, though Nathan speaks an astonishing number as well.
And on the "wishing nobody had heard of you" front, unfortunately that doesn't seem likely. I don't know that I'm as big of a fan as Shinobi, but I've definitely heard of you. :) At least you're in good company, what with Ms. Braddock, Alison, and Shinobi. Heck, even Sarah's got fan sites now.

Nice to meet you, Doug. I'll keep the languages in mind. I understand that it's any language, not just ones you've seen before, right?
I noticed that I was in good company, yes. I even recognized Ms. Morlocke. I do try and keep up with my pop culture, it's too amusing to neglect.

Welcome to the school Mr. Beaubier! My name is Piotr Rasputin and I teach Art and Russian to the students as well as go on missions with the X-Men and act as the Professor's bodyguard.
Unfortunatly, I do not have any pets to share stories with, but I do love cats. Judging from your picture, she looks to be a beautiful cat.
