Important: do you think our vacation jinx is cancelled out for this trip because Genosha's not really a vacation?? This feels like a loophole.

Also, plans? Are we all going? Any personal missions/things to see/ people to avoid? All I got is don't go crystal shopping without me.

I knew you wouldn't be able to resist the siren call of rules.

I have to make a stop by the library at some point, if you'd like to come with me.

[seeingred scott summers ⊗ cyclops]

Rules are what keeps society running.

I am at your disposal, Miss Frost.

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

And they're very fun to break. Except for the rule about you coming to Genosha.

So accommodating, Mr. Summers. We can make a little afternoon out of it.

[seeingred scott summers ⊗ cyclops]

I don't get the thrill the rest of you experience from breaking rules.

Sounds good. Is this about your donations?

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

Maybe someday we'll convince you of that thrill, at least for one or two rules.

It is. It might be a little boring, but it shouldn't take too long.

[seeingred scott summers ⊗ cyclops]

I can't imagine what those would be.

Boring is my niche. But I doubt any time spent with you will bore me.

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

I'm compiling a list as we speak.

The bar to bore you is pretty high, but I'll take the compliment just the same.

[seeingred scott summers ⊗ cyclops]

Nothing illegal.

I'm worried the bar to bore you is pretty low. I'd still like to take you out to dinner after.

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

I haven't done anything illegal in years.

I'm actually very easily amused, don't worry. And I'd like that.

[seeingred scott summers ⊗ cyclops]

At least not in writing.

Then it's a date.

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

Never in writing.

Very much looking forward to it. Is there anything else you'd like to do together while we're there?

[seeingred scott summers ⊗ cyclops]

Only rule-abiding things.

I have a list of places where mutants were still being held even after the Magisters fell. We did a lot of work to rout them out, but I need to see for myself that everything is different.

[...] You don't have to come with me. I know you have a lot to worry about.

Scott/Emma

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

No, I'd like to. Maybe I can be helpful, and it will help put my own mind at ease about how things are going.

[...]

You can stay with me on Genosha, if you'd like. I promise to not be offended if you have other plans, though.

Scott/Emma

[seeingred scott summers ⊗ cyclops]

The Acolytes have done some incredible work. But I have a hard time not seeing what was there before.

Where are you staying?

Scott/Emma

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

Yes, I'm curious to see how it feels. When we were there I desensitized myself to it, but especially since Manny will be it's been a while. Seeing the changes will be very helpful I'm sure. I'm happy to go wherever you'd like.

I bought a condo there about a year ago.

Scott/Emma

[seeingred scott summers ⊗ cyclops]

I promise not to take you into the sewers.

I didn't know you still had that place. [...] Thank you. That would be nice.

Scott/Emma

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

I'm the luckiest girl in the world.

I figure I've never once been sad about holding onto property - even for a short trip I like to feel at home. I'm glad you're taking me up on the offer.

Scott/Emma

[seeingred scott summers ⊗ cyclops]

You're surprisingly easy to please.

Forward-thinking of you. I donated everything to my landlord, furniture and all. Who else is staying with us?

Scott/Emma

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

I really am. Maybe I should ask for something more than not taking me into the sewers.

I was simply raised on investment strategies. Your method seems very freeing, though.

It's just us.

Scott/Emma

[seeingred scott summers ⊗ cyclops]

You should ask.

Everything that really matters to me is here. And they treated me well. Sometimes they brought me food.

Right. Okay.

Scott/Emma

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

I'll think of something more demanding than no sewer dates, I promise.

Do you miss the sense of community here at all? People bringing you food is very sweet.

And I hope it being just the two of us doesn't make you too nervous.

Scott/Emma

[seeingred scott summers ⊗ cyclops]

Good. I'll try to impress you other ways.

The Institute is its own community, and where I belong. Would you ever want to live somewhere like Genosha? Among mutants, I mean.

You'd be disappointed if I wasn't nervous about spending the weekend alone with you. But I did think you'd want Manny nearby.

Scott/Emma

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

While I am genuinely rather easy to please, I look forward to your efforts.

It's different but [...] you're right. I'm very glad we're all back. I've never really thought about where I want to live, honestly. I've always just had somewhere I needed to be.

I promise I'm not that scary. [...] As for Manny, he wants some space, so I'm giving it to him.

Scott/Emma

[seeingred scott summers ⊗ cyclops]

You're welcome to grade me at the end. I work better under pressure.

Our lives are constant chaos. But I'm glad that where you need to be is where I am, even if it's only for now.

Oh. How are you feeling?

Scott/Emma

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

Does writing you up an assessment count as flirting?

Ah, see, you can be romantic sometimes. [...] I'm not sure if I ever explicitly said this, but I have no plans of leaving after everything is resolved with Charles.

[...]

Fine Ter [......] Not the best. I'm just trying to get through it. I'm glad you'll be staying with me.
