[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.]

I can relate to that.

... I'm Peter, by the way. You're welcome to talk to me anytime.

[She can't help the half-laugh.]

Seems to be a trend with siblings.

It's nice to meet you, Peter. I'm Mystique.

Voice;

[spongetastic]

That's a really nice name. Nice to meet you, too.

Voice;

[studieswaitressing]

...thanks, I picked it out myself.

Voice;

[spongetastic]

It was a good choice.

Voice;

[studieswaitressing]

Considering the fact I've met another 'Raven' here already, it's also a good identifier.

Voice;

[spongetastic]

Well, I'm pretty sure I'm the only Peter Petrelli around here, so you won't have a problem finding me.

Voice;

[studieswaitressing]

Something for me to keep in mind, for sure. So long as I'm not a complete mess tomorrow, we should meet up.

Voice;

[spongetastic]

I don't mind complete messes, but you take the time you need.

Voice;

[studieswaitressing]

--trust me, you might mind.

[If she gets drunk around someone she doesn't know and shapeshifting shenanigans happen ... it might be bad.]

Voice;

[spongetastic]

Well, either way, I hope to see you around.

Voice;

[studieswaitressing]

Trust me, you can't miss me in a crowd.

[Unless she doesn't want to be found.]

Voice;

[spongetastic]

Oh, yeah? Now you've got me curious.

Voice;

[studieswaitressing]

Well, maybe that was the point.

Voice;

[spongetastic]

[a soft laugh] That must be the "mystique", huh?

Voice;

[studieswaitressing]

[Laughing from her own end,]

Yeah, pretty much.

NOT HERE

[CLAIRE APPROVES.]
