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.

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

It is. I know we're all naturally very good-looking, but this is for charity.

[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.

[passingthru KITTY PRYDE]

This sounds like we're saying the same thing.

[passingthru KITTY PRYDE]

Closed-mouth kissing's required? What kind of weird party is this?

[wingspanned warren worthington iii 🪽 angel]

I can't tell if you're going to volunteer or not.

[passingthru KITTY PRYDE]

Yeah, I haven't decided yet.

[wingspanned warren worthington iii 🪽 angel]

I'll let you finish arguing with Emma before I ask again.

[wingspanned warren worthington iii 🪽 angel]

Dressing up for a good cause isn't too much to ask.

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

A joke, darling. I don't want those sorts of billionaires showing up. They're very annoying.

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

Exactly. I don't think there will be much of a fight, honestly, but I want to lay out expectations.

You'll be auctioning yourself, of course?

[wingspanned warren worthington iii 🪽 angel]

Better to not catch them off guard.

Of course. I wouldn't suggest such a thing if I wasn't willing to do it myself. Although I assume you already have a date.

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

I'm very considerate, as you know.

You and I are very different. And yes, but charity and all that. We'll see how it shakes out.

[passingthru KITTY PRYDE]

There's more than one kind of billionaire?

[passingthru KITTY PRYDE]

You might be waiting a while.

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

There are so many kinds, and I imagine you'll meet at least a small selection at this. I'll point them out to you. It can be a fun little game when you're up for auction.

[wingspanned warren worthington iii 🪽 angel]

I've heard people say so.

I could present you as a package deal. Depends on how open minded Scott is.

[wingspanned warren worthington iii 🪽 angel]

Luckily I'm very patient (and entertained by anyone who can give Emma a hard time).

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

Just because I'm selective with who I'm considerate to doesn't mean I'm not.

I couldn't do that to poor Scott.

[wingspanned warren worthington iii 🪽 angel]

It's an exclusive club, I understand.

Certainly not when it's so new.

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

It makes everyone feel very special.

I like him enough to try to be nice to him sometimes, believe it or not. Plus I want him all to myself.

[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.
