[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?]

Comments

[Promising!]

Yeah, but, uh, Kurt Waggoner. The multiverse is weird.

[He's gotten used to this lately.]

Knew my own Miz Frost-Summers once upon a time.

[myownbestfriend]

"Frost-Summers?"

[WORLD OF NOPE.

She loves Scott, but marriage is not happening.]

[spideyfanone]

You'd have to ask her. We weren't even from the same 'verse, and I think I ranked somewhere between minion and housepet.

[myownbestfriend]

[Emma's pinching the bridge of her nose.]

Apparently some versions of me take leave of their senses entirely.

[Marrying Scott is a good way to get 1. cheated on and 2. dead.]

[spideyfanone]

I don't get the impression it went too well? But, uh, yeah, don't know a lot. But the way I figure it, no one's responsible for their extradimensional twinsies. You get used to evil squid versions of your friends pretty fast, actually.

[myownbestfriend]

Well it wouldn't, now would it?

[As a topic, Emma and relationships is kind of a minefield. She's not mad at Kurt, though. Just at the multiverse.]

[spideyfanone]

[Grown-ups and their relationship drama. Almost makes him glad it's pretty permanently out of his grasp.]

I... guess? I've never known one of him very well, either.

[There was, briefly, a Cyke on the team, but he'd never had much interest in Kurt.]

[myownbestfriend]

Your loss.

[Suddenly she's not upset anymore, and genuinely expressing admiration for Scott.

Trying to understand Emma's issues is really not something you want to be doing.]

[spideyfanone]

[He's not surprised by that. One of her married one of him. It makes some sense that they'd get along. And... grown-ups. Who can figure?]

There was one who helped us all bust out of the Saviour Machine, and we had one on the team later. Seemed pretty okay.

[myownbestfriend]

[That's after Emma's canon point. Otherwise, she'd have a clue what Kurt's talking about.]

He's frightfully dull and likes lima beans, but he has redeeming qualities.

[spideyfanone]

What's wrong with lima beans?

[Because nothing else about that statement seemed worth remarking on.]

[myownbestfriend]

They're vile. That's what's wrong with them.

[spideyfanone]

[He grew up in an all-green-energy technotopia. A certain tolerance for vegetarian delights was necessary.]

How does that even come up? I'm pretty sure I've never met somebody whose opinion about random green food I knew. Unless I met your Cyclops, since I guess now I do...

[Stupid multiverse. Now he's confused.]
