I'm sure you've all heard rumors, but yes, there is going to be a charity event for Phoenix. This is technically a Worthington-Frost collaboration, but it would be an excellent show of solidarity if the X-Men would make an appearance. It'll draw more attendees, more press, and therefore more money to help Phoenix recover.

But... furthermore... Emma and I had this fun idea. Very lighthearted, just to catch a few more eyes (and billionaires). We'll auction off special tickets where one of you is part of the package as their "date". All you'd have to do is escort a wealthy philanthropist for a few hours, and all that money goes to the city and some charities that are working with at-risk young mutants. Volunteers only, of course, but it'd be a nice gesture.

If this sounds like I'm guilt tripping you into participating, it's because I am.

I need everyone who is willing to auction off their time to look very hot.

[wingspanned warren worthington iii 🪽 angel]

It's just smart marketing.

Emma

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

Does this mean we need to go shopping?

[passingthru KITTY PRYDE]

You want to pimp us out to billionaires?

[wingspanned warren worthington iii 🪽 angel]

That's a colorful way to phrase it.

I was trying to frame it as using your celebrity to trick them into spending more.

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

Don't be dramatic, there's no open-mouth kissing required.

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

I'll consider it.

But you should know I respond better to appeals to my ego than appeals to my better nature.

[wingspanned warren worthington iii 🪽 angel]

Oh, right, let me try again.

You're going to be the talk of the town, everyone is going to want to hear your side of the story. And I know you're capable of playing whoever chooses you like, well, a piano.

Your ego has been appeased?

(I already agreed days ago. My ego is very easily swayed.)

[morestars morestars]

pass. but good luck with all that.

[wingspanned warren worthington iii 🪽 angel]

You're far too young. Even if you wanted to, I wouldn't have allowed it.

[shake_it_off Paige Guthrie 🌻 Husk]

Sounds like this thing is going to be pretty fancy?

[wingspanned warren worthington iii 🪽 angel]

Yes, but don't worry. I left your birthday present on your desk.

[hotfrosty bobby drake ❄️ has a perfect attendance rate.]

Will working "freshly divorced" into my intro be a selling point or a red flag?

[wingspanned warren worthington iii 🪽 angel]

What happened to Barry?

[hits_different sam guthrie 💥 cannonball]

and we thought fighting supervillains would be what gave our momma a heart attack.

[wingspanned warren worthington iii 🪽 angel]

You're not eligible for the auction either, because if your mother sees it I'm afraid she'll pull out all my feathers.

[shake_it_off Paige Guthrie 🌻 Husk]

You're not charming enough to get auctioned at least.

[allhell magik 🖤 illyana rasputin]

can i take them wherever i want

[wingspanned warren worthington iii 🪽 angel]

[.....]

If you warn them first, yes.

[wildlike laura kinney (wolverine)]

they should sign a waiver.

[wingspanned warren worthington iii 🪽 angel]

It's [...] part of the legal process, but maybe I'll get my lawyers to expand on it.

[seeingred scott summers ⊗ cyclops]

Some of us would make public relations for the X-Men worse.

[blindcut remy lebeau 🃏 gambit]

All you gotta do is stand there and look pretty. Can't manage that?

[glovedup rogue]

We doing private bets on who raises the most with their lil smiles n wiles?

[wingspanned warren worthington iii 🪽 angel]

If you decide to run a secret betting ring on which of your friends is worth the most, I won't interfere.
