A DAY AT COMIC-CON
San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) has been extending an invitation to the X-Men for several years now and they've finally opted to accept (with a little push from Remy LeBeau). How exciting! Time to hop on the Blackbird and head to sunny California to interact with the public.The team arrives on Thursday evening and settles into the luxurious Rancho Valencia Resort and Spa, giving them plenty of time to unwind, explore the city, hit the beach, or maybe even attend the con on the down-low ahead of the meet-and-greet that will take up most of Saturday.
To the surprise of no one, the San Diego Convention Center has an additional crowd when the team arrives on Saturday: a gathering of anti-mutant protestors lined up and shouting about mutie freaks and the indoctrination of the youth. Some things never change. The head of security informs Kurt Wagner that there have already been multiple false reports trying to send sentinels to the event, but reassures them that they're handling all that. You folks just have a good time! ...And would you mind signing this photo for his kid? She's a big fan.
The hall set aside for the event is massive and filled with excitable fans, many of which are dressed for the occasion in cosplay X-Men uniforms or holding signs expressing their support for the mutant cause, thanking them for past deeds, or proclaiming their favorite members (which run the gamut from simple and sweet to intense and unhinged) or even ships (which are pretty much all unhinged). Remarkably, the event goes off without interruption. No sentinels. No protestors. No aspiring supervillains. It seems that security actually does have things under control!
The event consists of introductions, a Q&A session, a meet-and-greet during which fans can meet them and get their autographs or take pictures with them (at their discretion), and a cosplay contest that Emma Frost is recruited to help judge. It's all a little surreal.
Because of the number of fans, the event runs long and into the evening, but eventually they're able to wrap things up and return to the resort. Good job, team!
MORE VOLUNTEER SLOTS
Remy LeBeau gets the loudest reaction to their introduction. The cheers seem to go on for a solid minute. Who knew they were so popular?? During the meet-and-greet, Scott Summers is approached by a teen that quietly confesses to them that they're a mutant too and that their parents aren't supportive. Do they any advice? How hard is it to run away and join the X-Men?
[Character E] is, hands down, the most frequently cosplayed member of the team! Is this flattering, weird, or a bit of both? There are at least a dozen imitators visible in the audience.
While taking a breather in the restricted back rooms, Kitty Pryde encounters a confused attendee that compliments them on their amazing costume but questions why they'd choose to dress up as that X-Man? They're so lame. Okay, hurtful.

Warren is chilling in their resort or on the beach, because he... didn't want to go to a con, he's a CEO not an official X-Man
Re: OOC - QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, CONCERNS!
And I would love to thread wiv everyone pleeease. Kitty is very kid in candy store about this whole enterprise, so if there are reluctant characters who you'd like to join in the con, she's here to drag ppl. Rogue honestly mostly came because Remy wanted to but she's going to have fun once she's there and they both will be hanging around the con proper
Re: OOC - QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, CONCERNS!
I'm down for some threads if anyone wants him~

Re: OOC - QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, CONCERNS!
What's a good con activity they could get dragged into, I haven't been to a con in what feels like 10 years lmao
Warren and Illyana non-participating by a pool is great, he needs to be bothered more and I love Illyana
Re: OOC - QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, CONCERNS!
illyana will certainly be bothering manny intermittently throughout the trip and i would also love to inflict remy on him depending on how bad a day you want him to have

No I think this should happen bc I bet they’ll be weird abt it
Re: OOC - QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, CONCERNS!
My thoughts are always kitty making emma do something nerd or rogue making emma go out drinking so she has gossip food for remy but if Paige is around I would also be here to bother her!
