Who: Kitty and all the people of fleet!
Broadcast: Yes!
Action: Windrose if you want
When: At some point before the masquerade

We have a masquerade coming up, and I was bored so I thought I'd mettle in people's lives for my own amusement. First, the disclaimer, there is nothing wrong with going to a dance solo.

Now, for anyone else, who wants a date?

Sorry, not me. Taken. But there are probably some of you out there thinking a date would be fun, and sure, why not? So speak up. Let's make some love connections. Or, you know, awkward dancing connections. I'm a mutant, not a miracle worker.

(OOC: Please feel free to threadjack.)

... I wasn't aware prison had proms?

Well, yeah, Fire and Fire2 are a lot weaker. If someone was coming at me with a knife, why bother with the weaker ones?

And, it's a very long story, but the short version is yeah, it's possible, just exceedingly unlikely. Especially after how the one I do remember went.

It's not supposed to have beaches, pet shops, or law-abiding citizens either. Call it progressive.

Why not just go with Fire162?

[Nodding and wondering how that's possible, but she knows how things can be in the various multidimensional traps so she accepts it.] Want me to send any other women seeking women your way or are you writing the dance off?

... Because it's the third-tier fire spell? And the basic elemental spells end at the third tier, anyway.

[Honestly, she'd like to blame amnesia, but in reality, she is just so dense it's entirely possible she's been on dates without realizing it.]

Well... I have been looking to try dating again, I guess. I don't feel like going solo, but if I was going with someone, I wouldn't mind.

It's possible I don't know anything about magic. I just knew 162 was a bigger number.

The pressure's on. I might have to try taking this seriously. [She actually is trying to see if she can picture the people who are open to it together now. What did she get herself into?]

I gathered. The first thing you should know about magic is that it's the best, and anyone who says otherwise is just mad at how less effective they are than a proper mage.

Well, good luck. [She sounds doubtful, though.]

Well, that hurts a little. [She doesn't manage to sound offended though.] Me and my phasing get by just fine.

Oh, your... walking-through-walls thing? How does that work, anyway?

That's the one. I just slip my atoms around the atoms of other things and just, you know, [How would anyone know?] go through them instead of around.

... Okay, I have to admit here, I'm sort of an amnesiac, and don't remember a lot of things. But I remember enough of high school science to know that that is not how atoms work. Like, at all.

It's how mine work. You saw it happen.

I saw you go through a wall. I've seen my little sister go through walls, when she spent a while as a ghost. I didn't see anything about atoms.

Your sister was a ghost?

...I'm not a ghost. [She's not that kind of dead.]

No. Not normally? Side-effect from a shitty board game. I got stuck as a werewolf for a couple hours around that same time.

[Honestly, context doesn't really help explain anything at all.]

I guessed, but there's still an explanation besides bullshitting about atoms.

I don't think I remember those squares on Monopoly. [Pass Go, Collect Werewolf-ism] Community Chest got intense.

But that is the answer. [Sure she'll make things up as a joke, but that one was just how it works.] I'm a mutant. I was born with the ability. [Not that she could use it until puberty.]

... I don't know what Monopoly is in this context.

I'll... just stop questioning it, I guess.

It's a popular board game back home. Or it was.

I'm sorry the answer wasn't as scientifically satisfying as magic. [She almost jazz hands along with that. She just barely stops herself.]

After the Pokemon, I'm not sure why I bother questioning anything anymore.

Pokemon? Do I want to know?

Oh, um... They're weird sort of... Little monster things from my little sister's world. Most of them are cute, and then some of them are apparently powerful enough to destroy and recreate her world.

I stopped questioning it after a while.

Kind of an adopted sister situation? [She has picked up some family-like people along the way herself. No one she officially gives a title to though.]

Yeah. Technically, we're teammates, but it's a bit of a pain to explain that part here.

You don't have to go into it. I get the teammate bond. Or at least I get the ones I have. I know they can be strong.

Yeah... It's a nice bond to have.

Are any of your teammates here?

Kurt is. Er, Kurt Darkholme, not Wagner. Well, Wagner too, but we're from different versions of the same team. Same goes for most of the other X-Men here. Except I know some of them as X-Men and they aren't and some of them are X-Men when I don't know them that way. But Rogue, Remy, Ororo, Erik...Laura [Even though she definitely didn't know her from home.] It gets complicated. [Charles was dead. Hank was evil. Mystique was an ally, but definitely isn't in this form. And then Wanda who isn't even a mutant somehow? But her feelings aren't the same here.]

Actually...Laura might be someone you could talk to about this dance?

Edited 2016-04-22 18:01 (UTC)

... Oh, right, we were talking about that. What's she like?

[She's heard the X-Men mentioned a couple of times- Hell, three of the ones here came from the same shithole she had. But she was never particularly close to any of them, so she doesn't know much about that group.]
