Rogue, Kurt & Scott

Y'all know they'll pay us if we go sign autographs at Comic Con?

Is there an issue with your finances?

I'm always on the lookout for reasonable employment opportunities.

Have you considered teaching this fall?

Damn, why not? You want me on trigonometry or what?

Math is covered. English lit?

Sure thing. Sounds like a good time.

I'll let Moira know you're interested.

[...] Have you been to Comic Con before?

She's got my résumé.

Never. Why, have you?

It would be good. The children already look up to you.

I don't like crowds.

They take you in and out the back way.

I'll have a plan of all our exit routes ready in case something happens.

They do label 'em.

Reading signs uses precious seconds in an emergency scenario. It's better to memorize your options.

Alright but if something crazy enough happens we should probably stick around to help out anyway.

It depends on their target. If it's us they want to fight, staying would put everyone else in danger. [...] But you're right. I'll see if I can cover all contingencies.

How do we know if they're there for us?

Like meet and greets?

You only gotta talk to them for as long as it takes to sign their stuff.

Oh, no, I don't mind the talking at all. We don't get a lot of time usually to meet our fans.

Yeah, hey. Meeting our adoring fans with nobody trying to kill us for once? It'll be great for PR.

We [...] could use better PR. I don't want to be cynical about this, but we could still use some good will in the wake of Arizona. Re-introduce some of our friends to our supporters.

That's what I'm saying. Besides, it'll be fun.

It would be. I've seen pictures of all the costumes.

And San Diego is wonderful. We could go to a beach.

Or Tijuana.

I've never been there.

Then we're definitely going.

It's your job to talk everyone else into this, by the way.

Leave it to me. If I can convince Emma, almost everyone else will fold.

Very tactical.

How much?

Depends.

Ain't sitting around lines n lines of folk all day if it's not worth our while.

It'll be worth it. But they'll pay us more depending on who comes and how many.

How good's security? All birdsong n bunny rabbits if it's really all fans, but it just takes a few bad apples sneakin in for it to be mighty unpleasant.
