[Say hello to Emma Frost, an intimidatingly beautiful but apparently normal human woman who is not especially pleased to be on a giant turtle and drafted into some kind of metaphysical war. She's got it dialed down to an aura of vague irritation, though, and she leans back in the large desk chair that came with her Fire Sector suite. The deep brown of the leather sets off her pale coloration and low-cut white X-Men uniform to excellent effect, and if you think she didn't plan that, you haven't met Emma.]

Please tell me there's a half-decent salon somewhere on this planet.

[If she has to do her own roots she's switching to diamond form until the problem is resolved, see if she doesn't.

Yes, yes, Malicant, a murdered emperor, giant turtles all but extinct, a world on the verge of destruction...but none of those are the sort of thing one ought to ask stupid questions about in public, now are they?]

I don't doubt that there is, but...granted I haven't had to worry about many bad hair days at all. Unless you're looking for a style.

[myownbestfriend]

Stylist, colorist. An aesthetician wouldn't go amiss, either.

[Emma's unabashed about the fact her particular brand of beauty is extremely artificial and high-maintenance.]

[supremefaith]

Hmm...I can't say I've looked for them, but I've never come across a hair stylist or an aesthetician on the island...but you're already very pretty!

[myownbestfriend]

[You, she likes.

Flattery will get you surprisingly far with Emma.]

Thank you, dear.

[supremefaith]

You're welcome! I'm Makoto by the way...and I might not be a stylist or anything, but I can do a half descent hairdo!

[She might wear her hair in a ponytail most of the time, but she's good at the domestic stuff like a good do.]

[myownbestfriend]

[Emma nearly always wears hers down because magic comics hair that somehow never tangles save when dramatically appropriate.]

Emma Frost. Lovely to meet you, Makoto.

[Her pronunciation of the name is less bad than it could be. She mostly gets the stresses in the right places.]
