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 thought being bored was my credential. Is that not how it works? [Smiling.] Should I also not perform surgeries?

Oh, surgeries. Anyone can do those. This is far more challenging.

[She enjoys you, Erik.] That's a good point. Well, my clothes usually match. [Really, Pryde? You want to hang this on your fashioning skills?] That's like a credential, right?

[That one requires some thought.]

It's a skill that comes in handy. I think I'd feel better about it if you had some kind of certification.

Do you know any licensed certifiers of matchmaking? Or maybe you're one? We could go ahead and have a ceremony.

I'm afraid I lack credentials too. If I had the skills, I'd use them on myself, wouldn't I.

I don't know. It's a lot of power and responsibility. I'm sure some balk at it. But I guess you're not much of a balker.

No, I'm not. But sadly, it's not my calling. [The singletons of the world are missing out on what could have been.]

Have you made any matches?

Weirdly? A couple. I don't know why people are actually letting me do this, but I think Laura and Nightingale are going to try it out. Do you know either of them? [She's actually wondering more about Laura because, well, mutant.]

I know Nightingale - she was in Kyriakos. I only knew her in passing there.

Oh. Was she somewhere else too or is Kyriakos even worse than you described? [Because she mentioned having to kill people. Unless that was home, but she didn't think so.]

Just Kyriakos, as far as I know. Why?

What she's been through just seemed especially harsh. [Leaving out details?]

[His perspective is particularly skewed, when it comes to Kyriakos. So his response is slower as he thinks it out.]

I have been through worse. But I am not really the best measure of the harshness of a place. [The camps. The library. Kyriakos. His experiences are too wide and too dark for him to be objective here.]

[She nods after a moment, accepting that.] No, I guess you wouldn't be. I'm probably not for that matter either. [What she said sounded bad, but how different was it from home where she was an assassin before she would have been old enough to drive a car if laws like that still applied.]

Mm, Laura, the other person I mentioned is a mutant too. No version of her in my world that I'm aware of though and not old enough to be around in yours yet.

It could be very harsh, at times.

She must be one I haven't met. [He has been lax at that.]

[She's quiet at that assessment thinking she knows what that means coming from him. It makes her glad for what she had in the prison not that she'd ever tell the wardens that.]

She's not your most social person. [She wonders as she's saying all this if Laura would not want this advertised to "Magneto". It's a strange thing to remind herself how others may feel about him.] But the fleet's not that big of a place. [At least not once you get settled in if you keep an eye on the network.]

Well, neither am I, really. [He can be, and has been in the past. As yet, he doesn't see a clear advantage to building a network.]

Maybe not. [He was their leader. He could be distant. Stoic. But there were some who had been closer to him than she was. Also, that was another man entirely. Easy to ignore when she wants to though.] But I think people are important to you. [Is she wrong?]

They are, yes. [Some people, at least. His people. He's stretched the definition a bit, but there are still limits.]

[Is Kitty one of his people though? He's one of hers. Not that she's that strict with the definition.] Me too.

Speaking of people... Had any problems with anyone? [Specifically any of the other X-men with less favorable memories of their own Magnetos than she has.]

[He thinks about it, but not for long. There's Mystique, but he didn't talk to her long enough for a problem to arise. Other than his own lack of desire to reveal his identity to her. That's his problem.]

No. No problems.

I'm glad to hear it. [Peace is good. Peace is what she always strove for. Is it wrong peace is kind of boring though? But she is glad to hear it.]

So, am I fixing you up for the dance?

Mm, no. I don't need a date.

Because you have one or because you're not going or because you're going to stand stoically along the outskirts watching everyone and pretending it's not a little creepy?
