Okay, so we have this masquerade coming up soon, and I don't know if you guys have been paying attention, but you're all running out of time to find dates and make plans and all that stuff.

I guess this is me looking for someone to take, and it can be totally friendly and stuff if you're not into giant rock dudes.

[He shrugs.]

I also need any guys who are in to other guys to check in, especially if they're looking for a date too, because I can hook you up with the second coolest mutant on this turtle's back, and he's gonna be too shy to do this himself.

So, fellas, hit me up for a night you probably won't forget.

[And then he disconnects...

...

Only to sign back on two minutes later.]

And I'm not the one interested in taking a guy, before you all start thinking that. I am the coolest mutant here, so that should have been a giveaway.

[This is a disbelieving look.]

Coolest mutant?

[Yeah, that's a matching tone too.]

[zerotoawesome]

You're looking at him.

[You know, until you put him in his place.]

[storm_warning]

[Cue arms being crossed.]

Says who?

[zerotoawesome]

[And he just smirks a little.]

Is this a challenge, Ororo?

[storm_warning]

[Aaaaand that might be her eyebrow going up. In her suite, the temperature's dropping and when she smiles, there's a wisp of her breath visible in the air.]

I'm just asking who thawed and made you the king of the cooler when there are other, more qualified mutant's around.

[Santo's still just smiling.]

When nobody stepped forward when I first arrived, I went ahead and assumed the position was open.

And just who is more qualified here? [He teases.]

[Victor is just going to stare for a moment and hope he didn't read what he thinks he just read.]

Santo...what are you doing?

[Video]

[zerotoawesome]

What does it look like, bro? I'm hooking you up for the dance.

[Video]

[alpha_squad_leader]

[Victor groans slightly, scrubbing his normal hand down his face.]

Seriously? And what if I had someone in mind to ask already?

[Video]

[zerotoawesome]

I don't know. Do you?

[Because that would kind of be news to Santo.]

[Video]

[alpha_squad_leader]

Yeah, there is a guy I was thinking about asking to go with me.

[Video]

[zerotoawesome]

And when were you planning on telling me about this?

[backwordscompatible]

If your friend's really that shy, are you sure he won't be incredibly--I dunno--horrified about you advertising that little fact over the Network?

video

[zerotoawesome]

Well... Yeah! But he's horrified by pretty much everything I do. He's kind of helpless on his own, though, and I can't just let him go to the dance alone.

video

[backwordscompatible]

What's wrong with going alone?

video

[zerotoawesome]

[Is he supposed to feel like he walked into a trap here?]

There's nothing wrong with it. I mean, if you want to go stag.

video

[backwordscompatible]

[Depends. Does he feel like he walked into a trap?]

Then why can't your friend do it?

[video]

[littlecousin]

He's gonna kill you.

[So cheerful.

Also leaving the "coolest mutant" thing alone, since she already teased him about it once, and, well, she knows she's cool, and telling people you're cool is the opposite of it, so really, Santo.]

[video]

[zerotoawesome]

He's gonna try, but he'll thank me later.

You know... Hopefully.

[notdreaming]

The invitation didn't say we had to have a date. [ Did it? Maybe she should check again. ]

[zerotoawesome]

No, but I thought the whole point of these things was to hang out and go with people you like. The dates are totally optional, though! I mean, if you want one.

[notdreaming]

If that's the case, then I couldn't only pick one. [ Nobody has told her yet that 'date' is a romantic thing. Whoops. ]

I want to go with everyone I've met here.

[zerotoawesome]

[Totally raising an eyebrow here.]

Everyone? Even me?

[notdreaming]

Of course you. I like you a lot, Santo. [ Smile! ]

[wholenewstory]

[Cass is frowning at you, Santo.]

Can't be - the cooolest - if you took another guy?
