Diamond 13: Emma Frost [In Person/Psychic Network]

[my-own-friend.livejournal.com]

[Of course it was inevitable.  The ship is sinking.  The bloody ship with all its passengers is sinking and soon almost everyone will be dead.  Hell of a place to end up.]

She does have a wonderful sense of humor, doens't she?

[Emma was, of course, in the First Class cabins.  Nothing but the best for the Xavier Institute co-headmistress and heir to the Frost family fortune.  So she's one of the first to learn about the sinking ship.  The rest, though, might not yet know.  As if it would be difficult to find out.  She sends everyone on board a telepathic message.]

The ship is going down.  For those of you who don't know your history, there are not enough lifeboats on board to save everyone.  Everyone get on the deck now and we'll figure out how to get off this thing.  If you're trapped, we'll find you.  Just stay calm and don't panic.  And not dying would help as well.

I know about the history of this ship. I thankfully managed to make my way on deck.

[my-own-friend.livejournal.com]

Good. Get to a lifeboat. Do whatever it takes to get to one. If you can't, we'll figure something out.

[cuteuketwin.livejournal.com]

I'm on a lifeboat as we speak. Who knew that it was women and children and people who were in first class. Well, that's my guess anyway, so I managed to get on one by being a child... sort of.

[my-own-friend.livejournal.com]

Good. Stay there. Help the others if you need to.

[The NPCs are of no consequence.]

[And this is a smirking, completely blue-eyed child Mukuro looking up at you. Illusions were wonderful things for cheating your way onto a boat.]

Quite an interesting skill you have there my dearest Emma, and so courteous to alert the rest of the manor. Would have thought that the woman with such a dour expression would turn out to be such a caretaker~ Kufufufu

[Ugh. This one.]

I'm trying to save everyone's worthless lives, if you don't mind. I don't need you flitting about and bothering me. Make yourself useful.

[pineapple_fairy]

[...Useful? ...As in... saving people? Other insignificant people? Surly you jest.]

Oh a Pity, but you do know that even if they do perish, they will simply come back the following week? The gesture is pointless...

[my-own-friend.livejournal.com]

Perhaps they will return, but I don't think anyone has any desire to drown in freezing water.

I shouldn't really have expected any help from you. Do so kindly bugger off, then.

[pineapple_fairy]

[Bah, people with morals. No fun]

I won't pester you further, but do be sure to get yourself off this ship in a timely fashion. It would be a true tragedy if you were to perish~

[Translation: he'd be bored]

[my-own-friend.livejournal.com]

Don't worry. I'm a survivor. I'm not going down with the ship, so to speak. I'm sure you'll very disappointed to hear.

[pineapple_fairy]

Oh on the contrary~ Things would be terribly dull should you perish~

[And there's a little 'kufufufu' giggle as he waves and starts to walk off]

[my-own-friend.livejournal.com]

I suppose, then, that you won't need any help.

[If he won't offer help, she won't give it. Let the little man live or die under his own power.]

There is one thing - I know there's someone here who has a violent reaction to water; I'm not sure what we can do, but it might be a good idea to look out for her.

[psychic network reply]

[my-own-friend.livejournal.com]

Then we should make every effort to get her on deck and on a lifeboat. Where is she?

[psychic network reply]

[stalking_horse]

I'm not sure. Her name is Elphaba, and I know that Tom is familiar with her. I wish I had more to go on.

[psychic network reply]

[my-own-friend.livejournal.com]

The name may be enough to go on. I'll find her if I can.
