Characters will arrive in the afternoon, approximately 8-ish hours after Emma did. They have the rest of the day to do what they want. Any interactions with non-367 versions of people go here! Pre-departure threads can also go here.

YES YOU MAY. Pls lmk how she will respond to his demands for Emma's whereabouts and general bad man vibe and I'll let you know if he'd get into a fight OR if you just want to get into a fight lmk and I can roll some shenanigans lmao.
frost_queenEmma Frost ♕ White QueenDate: 2025-07-09 06:23 pm (UTC)
OK I will be filling out my forms after work BUT Paige is here playing baby Marshal and Emma is... obviously here, suffering. If anyone wants any threads let me know!!! I'm happy to start literally anything 🥰 Emma will share with everyone all the information she knows about their alternative selves via brain download so they have an easier time. Feel free to decide how much or little she knows!!
Baby Kit would be so defensive abt Emma and all like, “well maybe I know and maybe I don’t! why do you need to see her? How bout you tell me where you’re staying and if she wants to talk to you, she will??” She wouldn’t start a physical fight unless he directly threatened Emma or the kids, but she’d be super defensive, refuse to give more info, and generally be wildly obnoxious. She would not back down from a fight either lmao.
frost_queenEmma Frost ♕ White QueenDate: 2025-07-09 07:32 pm (UTC)
adspignasd Kitty please.
While she doesn't get into a physical altercation with Sebastian, he does do a little bit of threatening - Kit's old enough now that next time he won't be quite as patient with her as he's been in the past. He'll be at the inn for another two days, and Emma had better come see him before he departs. He's not going to waste his time trying to chase her around.
This is so cool and pretty aaaaa!!!! I would please love threads with just everyone if you want a shitty 19 yr old bandit bartender or a less shitty normal Rogue who I think is thriving here on a horse but I will of Course do forms shortly

Character Name (367): Emma Frost Character Name (1883): Emma Frost 😌 Appearance: Emma generally looks like herself, but she's tanner, her clothes tend more towards creams and off-whites, and a long, old scar runs from the corner of her right eye diagonally down her cheek, nearly to her jaw. She dresses practically but relatively well given that it's the Wild West, and her hair (which reaches her waist) is always pulled up into a braided-updo. Occupation: Co-founder of the Hellfire Trading Company, which ostensibly manages cross-country trading, but is mostly a front for illegal activity. Manages an informal orphanage. Relationships: Kit Pryde, her second-in-command even though she's still technically a teenager. She's the first child she adopted when she herself was rather young and crossing the country from Boston. Other Hellions (her orphans) include Manny, Kurt, and Sharon (Catseye). She also cares for Manny's two younger siblings, but their powers suck. She has a strange relationship with the marshal Scott Summers, who she enjoys flirting with constantly despite knowing he's married and has a child. Basic History: It's in the IC/OOC so I'm not going to recount it really, but: killed some of her family, left Boston, picked up Kitty, ended up in Wolf's Gorge, took in orphans/founded Hellfire Trading Company with Sebastian, killed Shinobi and Warren at some point. Horse: A golden Akhal-Teke mare named Bridgit. Does it make literally no sense that she would have this horse? Yes. Do I care? No. She's difficult for anyone but Emma to handle, to the point where she won't let any of the Hellions ride her alone. She does tend to nip people she likes, though. Anything else?: I assume she has a rifle, a sixshooter, and a shotgun somewhere. A good shot, but generally prefers to incapacitate people with her powers. She is generally regarded well in Wolf's Gorge, and is definitely not a criminal :(
frost_queenEmma Frost ♕ White QueenDate: 2025-07-10 12:31 am (UTC)
It's the evening of their first day, and Emma has done her best to try to gather information about what might be amiss in this strange reality of hers. So far it's yielded nothing, a while getting a chance to ride a horse around again has been satisfying, the lack of information is not.
So she's made her way into the saloon, happy to see a familiar face already there, outside of Kitty.
"Shall I buy you a drink?" she asks Illyana as she comes to a stop by her side. "I think everything here tastes terrible, but it shouldn't make you go blind at least."

Character Name (367): Kitty Pryde Character Name (1883): Kit Pryde Appearance: Kit is 19 and not 23, so she looks just a little younger. She's still small and lanky in build, but more defined muscles and color in her cheeks. She wears her (still very curly) hair in a braid down her back. Kit wears mostly reds. Occupation: She's the proprietor and primary bartender of the saloon Emma owns, and her enforcer/assistant/overall right hand. Relationships: Emma is the only person she listens to, much to 367 Kitty's chagrin. She helps take care of the "kids" as a sort of older sister figure. She and Illyana are work frenemies of sorts, and I am so open to more. Super hates Sebastian Shaw, obviously. Basic History: Kit was an orphan in her own right, and was moved from New York to Chicago on an orphan train. She did NOT want to work a farm in Southern Illinois, so she jumped off and roamed the streets alone for a while, living by her powers and her wits. Emma found her when she was about 12 years old, and she's been with her ever since. Horse:Lockheed is a gray Andalusian stallion. He's incredibly intelligent and well-trained, but a little snobby, especially when it comes to treats. Anything else?: Kit generally comes heavily but discreetly armed to everything. She prefers her little bone-handled revolver, matching very sharp knives, and grabbing people's kidneys with a phased hand to threaten removal. She's well-liked around the town, because she makes the booze taste good and doesn't charge too much for it.
The very first thing Rogue does after being psychically briefed by Emma is she strides outside to meet her horse. Maybe not quite continuity, but shouldn't matter too much for the overarching mystery at hand. She and Remy seem to sorta do their own thing in this world, which doesn't bother her in the slightest. Frees up some time to rush to the big animal and stroke his nose. She still wears gloves in this world, but so does almost everybody, so it's impossible to tell if her powers are more under control in these olden times. Wouldn't risk the chance on this very big baby, anyway. So, out of habit from the cats, she kisses her own covered fingers and hopes he'll get the message.
"Think I remember you get to ride on the back of the horse, I'm front." She decides aloud to Remy, over her shoulder.

Character Name (367): Scott Summers Character Name (1883): Scott Summers 🐎 Appearance: A few years older than his 367 self, but still clean-shaved and boyish. His ruby quartz glasses have metal frames and round lenses. White cowboy hat, long duster coat, shirt and tie, vest with a pocketwatch chain and pinned badge, gun belt, dark pants and tall riding boots. Occupation: U.S. Marshal. Leader of the X-Men, a task force charged with uncovering the Hellfire Trading Company's crimes. Relationships: Close friends with the tragically murdered Mayor Worthington. Suspects business woman Emma Frost of knowing more than she seems about the Hellfire Club, and is trying to get her to work with him. Basic History: An orphan whose parents were killed on the road by bandits, who also left him with brain damage. Went in law enforcement after fighting as a Union soldier during the war. He moved his family (wife Madelyne and son Nathan) to Wolf's Gorge when he was tasked with bringing the law to the town. Known as a do-gooder with a strict moral code. Horse: A huge Dutch warmblood named Odie. 17 hands tall, liver chestnut coat with white socks. A handsome, hardy horse who is unusually spirited and ill-tempered for his type. He barely tolerates Marshal Summers, who's only been riding him for a few weeks (ever since Summers' last horse was lost in a shootout with the bandit posse). Anything else?: Carries a Colt SAA Cavalry model revolver. An extraordinary shot thanks to his mutant powers, but if he really wants to dish out damage, he needs only lower his glasses.
empataManuel de la Rocha (Empath)Date: 2025-07-10 04:27 am (UTC)
Character Name (367): Manuel de la Rocha Character Name (1883):Manuel Manny de la Rocha Appearance: He looks mostly the same...but he's just fifteen and scruffier and a little rougher around the edges because he's a lil' orphan outlaw. He still has some growing up to do, as he's only 5'6", slim, and a smidge baby-faced. Occupation: Agent of the Hellfire Trading Company Relationships: Manny is one of Emma's adopted children and he thinks she hung the moon and stars, though he's a bit of a troublemaker and occasionally gets reprimanded by her for it. He's a member of the Hellions and has various types of relationships with them. He's also very close to his younger siblings, Eva (thirteen) and Mateo (ten), and looks after with fierce protectiveness. He's grateful to Emma for taking them in too and keeping what remains of his family together. Basic History: Manny was Spanish nobility, the scion of a family that had an abundance money and privilege back home. However, his father was cruel and his mother was miserable, so she fled to the United States when Manny was young and tried to make a new life. This went well enough until she ran out of money, fell ill, and died. Whoops. Fortunately, the orphaned de la Rocha children ended up being taken in by Emma Frost. He's taken to the life of an outlaw and enjoys using his powers to flaunt rules, manipulate others, and escape repercussions. He's an impressive gunslinger and a notorious show-off despite his young age. Horse: An Andalusian with a dark mane and a speckled coat named Belleza. She's a quick, agile, elegant creature and has an altogether better temperament than he does. But she's quite fond of him. Anything else?: Manuel is best with a revolver and generally tends to carry two of them, a knife, and nothing else. He's not much for physical confrontations, anyway, preferring to talk/manipulate his way out of dangerous situations with his powers. Around town he's mostly still seen as a kid, albeit an arrogant and daring one that'll probably grow up to cause some real trouble. He plays piano in Kit's saloon and cheats at cards when he wants to put a little extra cash in his pocket.

Character Name (367): Illyana Rasputin Character Name (1883): Illyana Rasputina Appearance: Generally like herself, although she is also like 19ish in this. Outfit vibes approximately Black Sails Anne Bonny, with a black duster coat that has contrast stitching in intricate sigils and patterns, pants, and a black broad-rimmed hat. Occupation: Bounty Hunter Relationships: Favored henchman of Marshal Summers, longtime frenemy of Kit, etc. Basic History: This Illyana has been a bounty hunter since she was a teenager. When she was 14 she went on a True Grit style revenge quest/rampage in the wake of the ritualistic murders of the rest of the Rasputin family, in this world a large clan of influential mutant sorcerers. Illyana was the only survivor of this sacrifice, and has since eliminated both the archfiend responsible and his cult of followers. Now she's a bounty hunter and gun for hire working (mostly) on the right side of the law. Horse: A chestnut overo gelding named Demon, this horse lives up to his namesake with everyone else but is Illyana's perfect little baby boy. Anything else?: In this universe her soul was fragmented into twin weapons: a long-barreled, engraved revovler whose bullets are more magic than metal, burnished black and gold in coloring; and a Damascus steel and bone bowie knife about as long as her forearm which functions more like her normal sword. The gun is sort of evil and if it tells her to kill someone she has to do it. Because she can summon both weapons at will, she does not wear holsters for them.
frost_queenEmma Frost ♕ White QueenDate: 2025-07-10 12:20 pm (UTC)
Emma's face is pressed into the back of Scott's shoulder, legs forcefully tangled with his and her arm wrapped around his waist. Her sleeping is fitful and comfortable for the first time in a while, so it's all the more annoying when she's woken by Ambrose speaking directly into her mind.
She's tired, and still processing what he's said, but she knows she won't like it once she does. So she grumbles and pulls Scott closer, if that's even possible, for the moment not even bothering to open her eyes.
