My tailor is coming by if anyone needs their outfits for the gala altered; he works very quickly, so don't be shy. He's seeing Ambrose right when he arrives, but afterwards he should be free, and I can probably coax him into coming tomorrow too if you have investigation plans tonight that conflict.

Speaking of, is everyone enjoying their little undercover adventures? I know we'll have a formal debrief, but I'm sure you all already have some fun stories.

The rich people in Phoenix are somehow worse than the rich people in New York.

We fixed that.

[Emma]

Well the kids are pretty amused by the explosion, so that's nice.

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

Ah, well, better explode something else. As long as fixing it is within the budget.

[Kitty]

That's something. And you're all managing them alright with so many of us gone?

[passingthru KITTY PRYDE]

The budget is extremely generous, so I think at least two.

[Emma]
Yeah.
[...] Scoot's picking up like a million classes, but I'll take some of them away. Now you don't worry too much.

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

If you pick one without expensive equipment in it you might even be able to manage three.

[Kitty]

[...]

Thank you.

Once the gala is over and I'm back I'm ready to get to work on consciousness splitting.

[passingthru KITTY PRYDE]

On the other hand, cleaning up all that sounds tiring. Better keep it two.

[Emma]
I'll keep my eyes out.
Good. That's why I wanted to stay. I hope to get some more of this down by the time you get back.

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

You can make the children do it.

[Kitty]

Hopefully we'll have some information soon and we can head back. This is less fun than I The people here are exhausting.

I imagine there's only so far we can get before we actually go to one of the alternate realities, but it will be good to get as much done as possible.

Kitty/Emma

[passingthru KITTY PRYDE]

I bet. Can't imagine the party scene in Arizona is actually that hopping.

You're right. And probably we shouldn't go reality-hopping solo.
At least not yet.

Kitty/Emma

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

It is more than you'd think. It's less elevated than New York, though.

No, before we know what we're doing, and while Ambrose is willing to help us, we should be sensible about the whole thing.

Are you all ready for the gala?

Kitty/Emma

[passingthru KITTY PRYDE]

So not up to Frost standards, anyway.

Emma I will be so real I haven’t thought about the gala in days. I’ll be ready, though. Maybe it’ll be a good place to endear ourselves to Ambrose even more so he won’t mind all my questions.

Kitty/Emma

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

I don't mind a little bit of roughing it. I'll survive.

Darling, having the gala is the perfect opportunity to shove yet another thing into your brain so you can't think about anything that's bothering you. I can't believe you're squandering this.

I'm positive we can manage some endearment points with Ambrose.

Kitty/Emma

[passingthru KITTY PRYDE]

You're right. I'll book a thousand grooming appointments in the next two days to dissociate.
[...] But I'd rather pretend like all my work is doing something.

We can. And even if he doesn't have all the answers, either, he's the door to some of them, at least.

Kitty/Emma

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

You can come buy drugs with me if your mind starts wandering to more serious or depressing things. [...] Thank you, for working as hard as you are. [...] I'd be having a harder time if you weren't.

Yes, being on good terms with him will make things easier in the long run. And I suppose he does have troubles of his own that he could use help with.

Kitty/Emma

[passingthru KITTY PRYDE]

[...] Anytime. It's for me, too. And him. I'll spare everyone from watching me try to buy drugs, though. [...] Actually, though. Will you do me an illegal favor?

If that's what it takes to bargain, I'll solve every single one.

Kitty/Emma

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

I know, but I want to make sure you know how much I appreciate it. And always, darling. What do you need?

His life is going to be so in order.

Kitty/Emma

[passingthru KITTY PRYDE]

I know.
Thank you.
[...]Now quick, insult me or something.

But also. If you find any (clean) Kick. Can you keep one? I'm not gonna do it [...] unless I have to cross dimensions quickly again. In an emergency. And since that's one that very well may happen again I'll feel better knowing it's near.

Kitty/Emma

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

Your hair was very frizzy last I saw you, and not in a cute way.

[...] I already have one squirreled away for similar reasons. We're both so pragmatic.

Kitty/Emma

[passingthru KITTY PRYDE]

Well yours looked a little greasy.

Oh. Nice. [...] I can't recommend it for recreation purposes but it's a good tool.

Kitty/Emma

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

Untrue and unkind.

I'll admit that I'm curious, but also now is not the time for me to be doing reckless things.

Re: Kitty/Emma

[passingthru KITTY PRYDE]

Maybe one of those things.

Well if you need a high-sitter, I'd be happy to. Intangibly. If that would even matter.

Kitty/Emma

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

You're in trouble when I get home.

Very sweet of you. We'll see if it comes to that. Or if curiosity gets the better of me.

Kitty/Emma

[passingthru KITTY PRYDE]

Oh no.

Okay, well. Don't do it alone or you'll start talking to your own shadow.
