Diamond 2: Emma Frost [Video]

[my-own-friend.livejournal.com]

[In the feed, Emma's seated in a chair in some large, empty room - the dance studio, it looks like. She's wearing an X-Men uniform, identifiable by its simple elegance and the abundance of X's all over (which, to be fair, could really describe any of her outfits).]

I understand that several of you are having difficulties with your new...gifts. They probably won't last out the week, from what I've heard, but still, if anyone wants help controlling their powers, I may be willing to help. I'm a teacher for gifted youngsters back home, so I'm rather used to instructing others in the use of their powers.

I'll be waiting in the dance studio.

[She terminates the feed.]

Can I ask one thing first? Can that also help keep this cloud that keeps appearing away from me?

[Video]

[my-own-friend.livejournal.com]

Well, I don't know. Assuming its part of your newly-acquired power, perhaps. It may be that it won't ever go away. Some powers have permanent fixtures.

[Video]

[controlstheice.livejournal.com]

It's not always there. It seems to change every now and again and come and go, but right now it is slightly annoying and makes sleeping hard.

[my-own-friend.livejournal.com]

Mmm. If you don't mind my asking, dear, what new powers have you noticed this week? Besides the cloud.

[Video]

[controlstheice.livejournal.com]

On me? Well it's rained, hailed at one point and even had lighting at one point. Then when I don't have a cloud it's clear and fine.

Re: [Video]

[my-own-friend.livejournal.com]

A very localized form of weather control, perhaps.

[She's had experiences with that, having once switched bodies with Storm.]

I think I might be able to help you.

Re: [Video]

[controlstheice.livejournal.com]

You'll help? Thank you.

By the way I should really introduce myself. My name is Hanabusa Aidou.

[my-own-friend.livejournal.com]

A pleasure. Emma Frost.

[He'll be stalking into the dance studio carrying a high-power emergency flashlight he'd found in the storage room, looking very frazzled and incredibly grumpy.]

[It's likely easy to guess why, particularly after he gets "stuck" a couple feet in, as his shadow is sulking and has decided to cling to the doorframe.]

Oh kill the dramatics, if you hadn't decided to harass my roommate - and I saw that bit with the smoke grenade, we are not setting booby traps on anyone's door!

[OOC note: No, his shadow isn't a separate entity. It's more like his subconscious is slightly drunk and a little loopy, and given an outlet. He's trying to resist humoring that suspicion.]

[my-own-friend.livejournal.com]

[Emma straightens in her chair, eyebrow raised at the interesting sight in the doorway.]

Trouble with your shadow?

[stalking_horse]

Yes. [It's been making his week slightly Hell.] Any help would be appreciated - I'm hitting wit's end. [Don't really blame Kuroba for deciding to Be Elsewhere all week, list of people in the Manor to avoid-]

[Excuse him whilst he has an internal nerdgasm.]

I'd say I'd take you up on that offer, but I haven't noticed anything funny about me this week.

[Video]

[my-own-friend.livejournal.com]

[That nerdgasm? Yeah, she senses it, even across the network. And it vaguely amuses her.]

Well, let me know if you do.

[my-own-friend.livejournal.com]

[She stands and goes over to him.]

Let me see what I can do.

[She holds her hands out and touches the sides of his head.]

I'm going to look into your mind for a moment, just to see how your powers work. I do hope you don't mind.

[Not that you have much of a choice.]

[Video]

[suck-it-up-guy.livejournal.com]

[Oh and he knows she does. The sheer beauty of being a geek.]

Yeah, no problem.

I mean, I'll give you a hand with them if you want? Like be an assistant if you need it.

Re: [Video]

[my-own-friend.livejournal.com]

That's very thoughtful, dear, but I'm sure I can manage on my own.

[Video]

[suck-it-up-guy.livejournal.com]

[He nods giving a polite smile.]

Sure thing - hit me up if you change your mind.

Re: [Video]

[my-own-friend.livejournal.com]

[She smiles.]

Of course.

[This one's going to be amusing...]

Everything? So, you and anyone else you're near can't talk?

[Voice]

[featherdrequiem.livejournal.com]

Name your price.

[Video]

[my-own-friend.livejournal.com]

Mmm. A real pity.

[She considers for a moment.]

I don't know if you can control it, but I can take a look. At the least I could give you a temporary way to communicate with people.

[Voice]

[my-own-friend.livejournal.com]

Price? None at all, dear. I just want to see if I can help people. It can be very trying, coming into your powers with no guiding hand.

[Voice] -> [Video]

[featherdrequiem.livejournal.com]

[There's a change to the voice, it sounds vaguely more male than female. It didn't help Kuja had a fairly androgynous voice anyway.]

I see..

[Switching the feed on he frowns.]

Uncontrollably I switch between being male and female. It's somewhat troublesome.
