[Private to Emma Frost:]

[Wow, she is just the most unsure about this...]

I -- have to ask you something. It probably sounds stupid, I'm pretty sure it doesn't even work this way, but -- do you sense other telepaths? It's just that I don't think -- I -- Charles isn't here any more, is he?

[ End Private to Emma Frost]

[Some time later, the following voice post goes up. Mystique is -- very pointedly not showing her face right now, and she sounds a little shaky.]

For anyone who knew Charles -- my brother, Charles Xavier -- he isn't here any more.

Just -- so everyone knows.

[And she clicks off the feed, because she's going to go have her own private pity party. She knew that the little bit of peace she got here, pretending that things were okay with her brother, wouldn't last ... but she hadn't wanted to think about how exactly it would come to an end. The selfish part of her had always hoped she'd be the one to go home first. It had happened once before, after all.]

[She can't hide the little bit of amusement that seeps into her voice.]

I'm Mystique.

And -- yeah, the kindness of strangers. Not something I'm all that familiar with past this place, but -- you're right, it's nice.

A pleasure to meet your acquaintance albeit vocally.

[His smile is pleasant. If only everything went this smoothly elsewhere and with others. He's had his share of prejudice among even those that seemed to come from Japan, but being Chinese there is that instant disregard. So far, he's been pretty lucky not to meet the business end of a gun.]

[So what you're saying is that Mystique shouldn't mention how she almost got shot to death for looking like a mutant. Good to know.]

If you say so. I'm sure I'd be more charming under better circumstances.

[vaudevil]

[So has he but that's only because his brother sent out an assassin to take him out and failed.]

Well, everyone has their bad days.

[In some cases, some more than others. He's being very careful here.]

[studieswaitressing]

[Oh, but this was here. She half-laughs.]

Some of us more than others.

[vaudevil]

[Holy crap! Yeah, he hasn't had that happen yet but it could happen though. He was chased and nearly captured for just walking.]

I hope that isn't the case everyday.

[studieswaitressing]

No, not every day.

[vaudevil]

That's good. A little time to breathe is a good thing. I hope you can manage to take a little time to enjoy yourself.

[studieswaitressing]

Yeah, we'll have to see.
