What's Up?
Time to head off! Emma Frost has arranged a luxurious vacation for the team and today's the day.

Early on Friday morning, everyone is up and dressed and heading out the door for an 8AM flight on a private jet. While they aren't able to leave their troubles completely behind them, the weekend ahead promises the opportunity to experience something different from the everyday, unwind in lavish (if gaudy) surroundings, have a good time making bad decisions, and perhaps even return to New York with a clearer head.

Thousands of miles later, the group departs the jet and hops into a limousine that takes them through the heart of the city. While the weather is cool, the sky is clear and the city shines under the desert sun. Before long, they arrive at the bustling Bellagio Hotel & Casino and are given keys to their respective suites. After breaking off in pairs and settling into their rooms...the rest of the day is theirs!

There are endless shows, bars, casinos, and other attractions in Sin City. Better get to exploring.

Heading downstairs to the front desk to ask about the accommodations, Scott Summers stumbles upon a seemingly intimate conversation.

They spot the woman at the front desk talking to a green-skinned mutant (with less-than-expertly applied makeup attempting to obscure his complexion). The two are almost close enough to share a kiss and looking deeply into each other's eyes. When the man notices Scott, though, he quickly cuts the conversation short and departs, leaving the woman looking flustered.

While passing through the lobby, [Character B] is recognized by a young woman. She approaches them with stars in her eyes and tells them that they're her favorite X-Man and how exciting it is to see them in person! And here of all places!! She asks them to take a selfie with her.

Exploring the city, Kurt Wagner encounters a [street performer of choice] that seems to have drawn inspiration from their X-Man look. That's...flattering? Kind of??

The chaos is finally enough to draw Scott out of his serious private activities (staring out of the window and brooding).

"Mention that he's a CPA," he suggests to Kitty. "Bobby can provide financial security."

"Yeah, and it's way better than yours. I've seen it. I swiped left." This is a lie. She does turn away so Emma can no longer see her drafts. "Okay, the main points to incorporate are Bobby talks, he's funny, amateur DJ and CPA?"

Hm.

"And artist!" Kurt perks up, suddenly inspired, tail whipping back and forth semi-dangerously. "Show them some of your ice sculptures. No one can resist an artist."

Emma sighs, loud and dramatic. "Are you looking for a boyfriend or a hook-up, Bobby?" There are too many cooks in this kitchen.

Bobby doesn't look up from the life-size ice flamingo he's already nearly done crafting. It didn't occur to him that Kurt's suggestion wasn't meant for right now. "I haven't–" uhhhh "–I think I'd be better at boyfriends except I'm not because they dump me. I catch feelings fast but if I'm looking for a relationship that could be a plus." A beat. "For... someone, out there, maybe." Another beat. "Mostly for me?" While he's distracted by this riddle, the flamingo's neck grows twice as long as it's meant to.

"Hook-up, while we're in Vegas." Emma has decided, apparently. "We'll get you a boyfriend once we're back home." She waves a hand at Kitty before taking another picture. "Turn a bit, Bobby. Accentuate your ass. Kitty, play up his status as an X-man, please. You can handle a little hook-up, right?"

Kurt has his own phone out, ready to snap a nice photo of the ice flamingo—oh, oh dear, it's... well. It's still a flamingo. He gives up on photography. "And as for the future," Kurt reaches out and gently fixes Bobby's hair, careful to make it perfectly tousled. He tilts his head and smiles approvingly. "You must find something you have in common. That way, when you don't know the next step, you can share in whatever you share. Music, sports, anything. You don't need to fill all of the silence with words."

Finally, Manuel looks up from his book and glances around at Bobby (and his unaccentuated ass) and the ice flamingo that's very much getting away from him. He smirks.

"Careful, artista. You're getting a little abstract."

The profile is getting a little full again, and she's feverishly deleting and filling in words. "You know? I think the I'll always come home to you could actually be both like, romantic and hot." She muses, "But then should I add in And then I'll do your taxes at the end? Or later."

This has Scott's strategic mind working. "At the very end. Most people will focus on Bobby's abs instead of reading the whole profile, so I'll do your taxes is for people who are actually committed."

"It was supposed to be romantic and hot! I CAN be good with words, even if you've gotta sift through them like you're panning for gold! We'll call it a commitment litmus test." He's standing there, sans shirt, pulling his best Blue Steel, and with an– oops.

He snaps the flamingo's neck and tries again, still holding the disembodied head in his hand like a tire iron.

"I can't not fill the silence, Kurt, it's practically my secondary mutation."

Kurt takes Bobby by the hands ("Ja, let's just.... alright, the swan's done for, let it go.") and leads him so they can sit down across from one another. This is definitely ruining the sexy photoshoot Emma is trying to pin down. "What conversations do you like the most?"

(The swan evaporates back into thin air; he would have kept a feather if his hands weren't occupied in the moment.) "Not interventions," he deflects uneasily, because this. Kind of has that feeling. "Usually two-sided ones with plenty of laughter and maybe where they tell me they like my jokes and they think my eyes are pretty? Oh, and where they ask me about my prom plans, and–"

Emma huffs at the ruined photoshoot, sending the pictures she had gotten to Kitty immediately. "'I'll do your taxes for you' is a decent hook," she concedes, once again trying to lean into Kitty's space to see what she's writing. She's now fully ignoring Kurt and Bobby. "Put 'dtf' somewhere."

Kitty, fully risen out of the ottoman and solid now, is now instead trying to show her phone to Scott to get approval on the taxes line. He's a genius wordsmith, who knew. "But I wonder if down to frost is representative enough of the puns they can come to expect?" (Anyone looking at the phone can tell she's not actually writing that.)

Kurt watches Bobby, remaining still with that same careful smile, afraid of spooking him. Bobby needs an exit; Kurt squeezes his hand.

"Ach!" he suddenly says loudly. "Did all of you know we have been volunteered to chaperone prom?"

For the first time since all of this started, Manuel's expression sobers and he shifts to look in Kurt's direction.

"What? By who?"

"Down to freeze," Bobby corrects Kitty without even thinking, like it's second nature and he's way more distracted now by thinking about chaperoning prom.

Does this mean he's supposed to bring a date?

No, right?

Chaperones don't have dates, right??

Kurt lets go of Bobby, jumping back up onto his feet. He strolls around the cabin before finding his own seat now that he's become a successful distraction. "Those of us who are teachers. There are," an uncomfortable pause Kurt barely covers, "too few parent volunteers."

Bobby. 24. X-Man. CPA. DTF (Freeze 😉) begins the profile as Kitty adds the shirtless pictures artfully every other slide.

"They're really excited about prom." She says without looking up. She can do two things at once. "Lotta difficult to fulfill theme ideas floating around, heads up."

Rude, that Kitty would deny her a look at Bobby's changing profile. Emma pulls a small ice cube from her drink and throws it at her back before settling into her seat again, crossing her legs. She glances to Manny momentarily.

"Did any of you manage to get yourself to a local school's prom? I can't recall."
