Silent Auction Brunch

An exclusive brunch is held in Phoenix for those donating to the charity event next week. The food is gourmet, and the mimosas are bottomless. The attendees are those who purchased the (expensive) tickets in advance and have been invited to meet some of the X-Men.

It's not terribly formal, but it reeks of money. Fresh flowers adorn the walls, and the general public can only wait outside and wonder. Kitty Pryde arrives a bit late and security nearly turns them away, not believing that they're an X-Man at first.

Meanwhile, a silver-tongued stranger convinced security that they're the plus one of Remy LeBeau. Do they humor the plucky civilian, or send them on their way?

The date auction is silent, with portraits of the participants on display. It's partially held online as well, so that the general public can (theoretically) participate. The overall mood is light and humorous, not taking the "date" thing too seriously, but there's a trio of mimosa-drunk old ladies who are being a little too... enthusiastic. They're a big fan of [VOLUNTEER C].

(This takes place on 5/24, Saturday)

VIBE CHECK: Manuel

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

Manuel is matching Emma's energy. Around their guests, he's putting on a charming and personable front, reading their emotions and tailoring his behavior appropriately. He's a perfect host. Otherwise, though, he's sticking close to Emma and giving their friends and teammates the cold shoulder. Especially Scott and Kurt. Sorry, Kurt. If anyone catches him completely alone, though, he just seems tired.
