Possible Scenarios 01. A New Arrival: Hello, New Person! You seem to have found yourself on a sidewalk in the City of Sin with nothing but the clothes on your back and a stomach chruning feeling of being displaced. Thankfully, the streets are full of people - Watch out that you don't get mugged! 02. Demonic Presences: You were just minding your own business, weren't you? But that's always when bad things seem to happen, and the City of Sin isn't really that friendly. Whatever bar or street you're hanging out in suddenly go dim, filing the area with an unnerving feeling as the shadows on the walls jump out into reality. We suggest you phone a friend for help, or maybe try running? 03. Party Hard: You've been invited to a massive, elegant party at the Tower that spills out it's doors in welcome, by someone who calls themselves the Emperor. Obviously that's weird, but maybe you can get some free drinks and food out of it! This place might not be so bad. 04. Prominence: The City of Sin influences it's population on a weekly basis. Too bad you came right smack dab in the middle of a heavy Prominence. Lust, Greed, Gluttony, Envy, Wrath, Sloth, or Pride. Choose your choice of sin and be wicked. 05. Trouble: Not everyone is sunshine and roses here. Some people are violent and cruel, raised in the sludge of a sinful city. And they like to pick on people they think can't fight back. Are you that person? Or are you the Hero who can't stand to watch? Worse yet, could you be the person doing the instigating? Villian. 06. Carnival: The City has carnivals or festivals now and then; you're lucky to catch one! With it's open booths filled with cork gun games and funnel cakes, how can someone not have any fun! Go win your darling a stuffed animal, or meet someone new on the spinning cup ride. You might even see someone you know being talked into sitting in the Dunk Tank. 07. Wild Card: Choose your own adventure in the game's setting!

Well there are probably a lot of blue eyed blondes in the world so what the Hell was all that?

[aces_and_eights]

[Just tell her. No. You were pretty blunt with Erik. No.]

Just caught me off guard Emma.

[Way to go dumbass. Shutup. A, hopefully, inaudible groan.]

[wellbredbitch]

And you know my name. I'm sick and tired of people who think they know me but won't tell me how or why.

[aces_and_eights]

[Yep. He certainly does. And today is your lucky day.]

I don't know ya.

[A drag on the retrieved smoke.]

The Emma Frost I knew was one of the most powerful mutant telepaths left alive from where I came from. You, or her was my first instructor.


And you, rather she died making sure my ass wasn't captured when a government sanctioned mutant mitigation team attacked Asteroid M.

[Funny how that thick draw kind of drifted off when he spoke.]

So no. I don't know you but I know of you.

[He has said it before, but he really felt it this time. Fuck this City]

[wellbredbitch]

[Emma paused and considered all of this.]

Yes, that sounds about right.

What's your name?

[aces_and_eights]

[It passes through his head if she knew Erik, cause the Emma he knew...not so much from his understanding of it.]

Fun stuff. M'name's Ace.

[wellbredbitch]

Ace? I presume you're a pilot or a playing card.

[aces_and_eights]

[He chuckled and shook his head]

Nah just me. A nickname I picked up and kinda kept it when everyone was going with fancy names.

[wellbredbitch]

Ah, I see.

Sort of.

[She frowns a little. Clearly she doesn't completely understand, but she's not going to dwell on it. Right now, anyway.]

So what are your powers?

[aces_and_eights]

[That got a brow quirk. The entire name thing was all the rage for the powered-inclined back home.]

Now that's a mighty personal question Ms. Frost. Though I guess it is fair enough. Sonics.

[Broad enough not to be specific. After all he didn't know this Emma]

[wellbredbitch]

[Emma hasn't encountered that yet. It's hard enough being Emma Frost, forget about an alterego]

Well you know some fairly personal things about me, I assume.

It is heartening to know that I'm a teacher in the future, in at least some universes.

[aces_and_eights]

Nothing like that.

[It would be pretty clear by the look on his face and the shake of his head exactly what the 'that' meant. And even if it had been that he would tell this Emma that cause that would sh...

Oh fuck this City]

I thought you were good at it. Between you an a couple of others, kept me and some others alive.

[He leaned his chin in his hand, the gesture pretty much spilling hair in his face. This is going to be complicated. He shouldn't have said shit based on how young she looked, something in his shock he really didn't even register.]

You did good things for mutants in my home.

[wellbredbitch]

[Emma's face softens. It's easier to be genuine when people are saying good things about her, even if it's not her precisely.]

I hope so. It's all I want to do. Is it. . .

[She pauses, searching for the right words.]

Are things easier for mutants?

[aces_and_eights]

[He ticks through the lessons that this woman's future taught him. He's going to drink after this. While not gifted like her, he was aware enough to know if she was actively probing him and make a solid attempt to keep her out if necessary. ]

It is a long story Emma. We got to a point where things had a chance to be a lot better.

[Until some asshat...Stop, don't even think it]

[wellbredbitch]

[That's not a resounding yes, but it's not a no, either. Emma considers this for a moment, then shakes her head.]

I think I'm going to try very hard to forget that you know about me. This is all a bit to take in and I'm not certain there's any good in it for me.

[aces_and_eights]

Yea, I'm sorry.

[A lean back and a rake of a hand through his hair.]

You're probably right. That changes at least you know how to get ahold of me.

[A bit of that smile that gets him into more trouble than it should.]

I'll do my best to give ya plenty of room, ok?

[wellbredbitch]

Don't be sorry. Just be a bit more discreet in the future.

I don't need room. I just need to remember to stay out of your head if we interact socially. There aren't many Chosen and even fewer mutants, I'd hate to severe ties to someone who fits in both categories without even meeting them.

[aces_and_eights]

We'll see how it goes.

I think I'm going to crash for a bit.

[His fingers hovers over the end button for a second before he decided not to say anything else. A smile is the last image she gets.

And then the network device gets tossed, thankfully, into the bed.]
