Mutant Prom [OPEN]

WHO: The entire school
WHAT: MUTANT PROM
WHERE: On campus
WHEN: Saturday Evening
WARNING(S): n/a, if a thread goes into warning territory, please take it to a new log.

Emma really knew how to throw a party. The Atlantean theme to the event was apparent in every decoration. The five gorgeous women playing in the string quintet that accompanied the event were dressed in fanciful mermaid inspired costumes, to match the setting. Why, if Namor himself walked through the door at that very moment, it's likely people would just have assumed he was an honored guest. ~~And don't think Emma hadn't tried to do just that.~~

Food of all varieties was available, as well as multiple flavors of punch. When the string quartet wasn't playing, general Prom-style mixes of various hits and dance songs throughout the decade would play over the meticulously crafted sound system, a parting gift from a former student. All in all, it was truly as much a Paradise Beneath the Waves as Emma had wanted it to be.

And it didn't stop there. The outdoors of the Institute had also been decorated, but this time in the theme of a spring garden. Blankets were scattered out along the lawn around the pool, offering spaces for people to simply lay down, relax, and enjoy a myriad of virgin (and not so virgin, for the adults) cocktails provided by an "old friend" of Emma's.

It was the biggest social night of the year for the students of Xavier's. And Emma, knowing the transient nature of the school... wanted it to be as memorable as ever. Emma Frost herself, however... was curiously absent.

[And the other Hellion arrives. She's gotta say hello to her teammates at some point, right? She announces her presence to Eddie loudly because... well. She knows he can't see.]

Heya! How's the party going for you? The music is awesome huh? It's a real live quintet! It's fan-tastic!

[Nora's entrance actually manages to startle Eddie, and he caught her scent. That's... kind of impressive.]

It's going. Kinda sucks we gotta be here when I could be in my room. Sounds like you're having fun, at least.

Oh yeah. This is a faaaabulous~ party. I'm having a lot of fun! [And she is.] I bet other schools don't get proms nearly as good as this one, though I guess since Emma funded it, it's probably got a lot more money behind it than other proms, but I wouldn't actually know, I've never been to another one in another school, even though I have friends that might have invited me~! [She bounces around a little. He miiight be able to hear it over the sound of the music, but maybe not.]

You and Raven, though, you both seem so quiet here. Well, her, anyway, she's always kinda dark and moody and... well I guess you're the same, too~ [She giggles] but anyway-

- Oh! I just had the best idea. After this is over, you wanna hit up the Danger Room for a teambuilding exercise?

[Zero to a totally different conversation in like three seconds. Be impressed, Eddie, this is your teammate that totally picked up a dude and beat the hell out of another dude with 'im.]

Nora, right? Um...

[Man, she's going a mile a minute. Did she have a can of Monster before the dance? Or four? He's about to walk off when she mentions a teambuilding exercise. Hmmm...]

That's not a bad idea. Gotta learn how to trust you and Raven on the field.

Yep, my name's Nora! And I'm [She sings] Queen of the Castle~.

[... don't ask, Eddie, just don't.]

Yeah! We don't really know anything much about each others' powers or the limits of how they work and everything else like that, and that'll probably... be kinda important. Just a hunch. Later on.

Probably.

Oh no, I think you got somethin'. I just know you're really strong and Raven can fly. Maybe we should get together and work as a team.

Show the school just how badass the Hellions are.

[If only he could see how many hearts and how much pink Nora puts into everything.

The girliest badass.]

We should! I know finals and stuff are coming up here pretty quickly, but maybe if we have some downtime in between or something! We can figure out everyone's schedules and stuff, too!

Never experienced finals here, so we'll probably need the downtime to blow off steam.

So your power is super strength? Anythin' else I need to know about?

Probably! It can be rough... well, I guess every school finals can be rough, but sometimes these ones come with tests of control and stuff over your powers.

Hmmm what else, what else... oh! Magnhild!

I have a warhammer I use as a weapon! ... It's also a grenade launcher. It's called Magnhild!

a warhammer/grenade launcher...

[Eddie's trying to imagine that kind of weapon.]

SCORE.

I think it's safe to say I have the best teammates so far.

... Yeah, Emma wouldn't let me bring it along to the riots, but some day! [She can't help a little... is that mischievous, perhaps evil giggle at his reaction to her weapon? Probably! Aw yeah, someone else that likes to destroy things as much as her.] I like your enthusiasm about my weapon!

... Oop! The explosion won't throw off your sense of hearing will it, though? I mean it probably will, but will it be a problem?

[She's not sure. Maybe he's like Cyclops and can't have normal vision without lasers, but she's pretty sure he's blind.]

We'll have to see how intense the explosions are. I can use my shadow to mute the sound if needed.

[He shapes a shadowy head using his power, not to scare her but more for demonstration.]

OooOOOoo, that's cool! [Scare her? Pff, it's Nora.] Is that your power, then? That's... awesome!

Yeah, I can control the "shadow" that's attached to my body. It forms any shape I want. Within reason, of course.

[The beastly head nods to Nora.]

Cooooool. I like it! I mean, I like being able to pick people up and use them to beat other people easily, but Super Strength is like... in every comic book ever. That. Is... Awesome~!

We should ask what all Raven can do, too. But I think she's even more antisocial than... anyone else.

Thanks... I think.

[No one's called his powers cool before. Kind of gives him a boost of confidence.]

Yeah, I'm not sure what else she can do but fly. Probably something that can take us both out.

[Hey, she calls 'em like she sees them. Usually. Someone needs to tell her when to stop.]

Haha! Probably. Oooo, now I'm just more curious. I like knowing what the other Mutants here can do, cuz we're all so different. And also... it'll be good for us to know especially. Maybe I'll go over there and bug her again later!

[She peers over to where she last saw Raven] ... I don't think she's gonna move.

Dunno if you should do that. Maybe she wants to be left alone tonight.

[Buuuuut...]

Or I guess we could start that whole team-building thing now. Tell her she's part of the group, and all.

Hmm, maybe! But... I got this idea and I should pitch it to her now so she's got something else to think about besides what shade of blue that wall she was staring at earlier is supposed to be called. [... Nora.]

Damn, kinda mean there, don't ya think? And I wish I could be staring at the walls in my room right about now.

[...so to speak because, you know.]

Um... you can do tha - n-nevermind! [She'll shut up!] No, but you both seem so quiet, someone has to be the one to start this stuff, right?

[Would you rather it be Emma? Emma's not nearly as nice as Nora.]

Yeah. Can't speak for Raven, but I won't be doing much talking, if that's cool.

[Nora > Emma, definitely.]

Yeah, that's cool. I'm used to being the only one to say much. [Her BFF is a really quiet guy, so it's all good.] Besides, you called Magnhild awesome, so that's all I need to hear! [She sounds... so proud of this accomplishment.]

Well, from the way you described it, how can it not be awesome?

[Because seriously, the world needs more weapons like Nora's.]

Who made your Magnhild, anyway?

[Hm... to mention her dad is an army engineer or not... how to explain this...]

My dad and I designed it and put it together! Well... I designed it and he mostly put it together, but I know enough about how it works to do maintenance on it.
