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.)

We definitely have to keep a few things going the right way. [It's too few really, but they did what they could.

After a moment she switches the feed to private.]

What about things that aren't going right? Are you...okay? Kurt isn't the only new arrival we've had. [And she's not that worried about Charles or Hank for the moment.]

...

[He pauses for a moment.]

...There's been a lot to wrap my head around.

[And he looks down uncertainly, feeling all of those overwhelming mix of feelings that come with his mother. Mystique.]

I'm... [He shakes his head.] I don't know what to feel.

[passingthrough]

Rogue told me a little bit about her and I talked to her. She sounds different than the Mystique I know. [We can all admit we're talking about Mystique, right?]

[digthefuzz]

[It's allowed!]

...You did, huh? [Kurt knows that Rogue's opinions are definitely more volatile than his own, and he can't blame her - or rather, he doesn't anymore. But he can't help but be curious. It nags at him.]

How different?

[passingthrough]

The woman was tough, but she was good to her son and the girl she took in. At least she did he best by them and it was better than what Rogue told me.

[digthefuzz]

[good to her son and the girl she took in...

It's not hard to guess who those two people could be. And it gives him pause for a moment, since it almost sounds like something from a dream. He and Rogue really being like siblings, with a mother too good to be real...

He blinks and, after a mooment, he softly nods.]

...Sounds like it must have been nice. Definitely sounds better.

[There were certain drawbacks with the way society was crumbling, but if everything is going to be hard it just makes family that much more important. Kitty might have even had moments of envy with her Kurt since he still had a mother. Her expression softens.] The people who raised you were good to you, right? [Because she will cross dimensions and kick their asses if not.]

[digthefuzz]

[He pauses for a moment before he glances at her and smiles softly.]

They're the best. I still visit every Christmas... My mom can make a fruitcake that will knock your socks off!

[passingthrough]

My socks surrender and will take your word for it. [She smiles softly at him.]

I'm glad to hear it though. [Not about the fruitcake. About the good parents. They're... incredibly important. You don't always realize how much until you don't have them anymore.]
