Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie leads Alexis down to the Danger room this morning. "You ready to see what the room can do, and get a little bit of training this morning?" he will ask her. He has a package with him. He smiles over to her.

Prismatic has posed:
    Alexis glances over to Sam, clad in her normal jeans and tee with a sweatshirt, her hair pulled back itno a bun as she gives a wry grin.

    "All warmed up and ready to go, Teach." she jokes, forcing a Bahston accent as she 'shadow boxes' Sam. She's in a pretty good mood this morning!

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie smiles a bit, and offers her the package, and says "Well, I think you may need this." He tells her, and yes it is about the size for her jumpsuit. He will hold out the tablet, and says "Ah did do a bit coding with some help from some maps as well." He presses the button and the room changes around them to look like they are on a street in Italy near her family's home. Nothing specific but looks like it could be in the area.

Prismatic has posed:
    "Oi, early gifts? Is Deadpool going to show up and start yelling at us again?" Alexis inquires, and she accepts the package, and opens it as Sam explains that he's done some research and then --

    It's a middle Italy hill village. In the far distance one might see a sliver of the sparkling Aegean sea, though high mountains capped with snow are all around. The lane in which they stand is narrow, twisty, stone not really meant for the weight of cars, and terra-cotta roofs that bake in the late afternoon sun.

    There is the smell of food in the air and everywhere, and alexis looks up, startled at the reproduction, and she takes a deep breath.

    "Oh... that's just... fantastic! "

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie smiles and says "Ah figured we could explore it some and you could teach me a bit about what the real area is like. The set up is a mesh of a few towns around the area, it has people shops, everything like a real village in the area." He grins and says "And no Wade, this is more something useful than a real gift those come next week." He grins at her

Prismatic has posed:
    Allegra gives a wry smile, holding the suit in her arms as she walks. "Did you program the right version of Italian in?" she asks cheekily, "Because the Italian in Abruzzo is different than the Italian that is taught in schools -- as... the English you'd speak is a bit different than the English I speak. There's some contraction and verb differences, but oh, goodness... zepuelle!" she smells. "Who helped with the programming?"

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie smiles a bit and says "Kitty helped me with it, used a lot of different sources to get things. I think the language is right, used some local news casts and such to get them to sound right, get the weather and such. Kitty and Doug are both really artists when it comes to creating these programs."

Shadowcat has posed:
Kitty was in the guidance counselor's office, just having finished talking to Hambone and another boy named Arthur. There had been a little scuffle in the hallway, but by now they both seemed to have forgotten what it was about. Kitty chalked it up to boys being boys, so reminded them about behavior and sent them on her way.

She rose to make herself a cup of tea when her phone chimes. She has it hooked into any number of systems to let her know what's going on with the computing environment at the school and down in the X-men base below. "Oh, looks like Sam's running the simulation," she says. She checks her schedule quickly for conflicts, and having a free stretch, sinks through the floor, phasing down into the X-men base rather than taking the elevator.

Before long she arrives at the entrance to the Danger Room's control room. She walks on up the stairs into it, moving over to the monitors to check that everything is running smoothly. She hits transmit on a microphone and says over speakers in the Danger Room, "Just saw you were running it Sam and popped in to make sure everything was ok. Alright if I come down and join you?"

Prismatic has posed:
    "Kitty is just incredibly talented all around." the dark-haired girl replies as she looks up to Sam, looking around. It was uncanny, really.

    She hears Kitty's voice ring out over the speakers, and she almost gives a jump at it in surprise, flushing embarrassed before she glances to Sam and replies: "I don't think there's any issue. You really did a marvelous job with the simulation! Does the weather change? Does time progress?"

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie 's handheld tablet did ding softly when Kitty came into the control room. He smiles and says "Sure come on down kitty." He will call to the woman, and then looking over to Alexis, he nods, and says "Yea, real time progress unless we tell it to pause." He will reach over to rub Alexis' back, and says "Figured this could give ya a taste of home till your ready to go back, and also you could teach me so when we do go I don;t look like a totaly tourist

Shadowcat has posed:
Kitty again takes the shortcut, just stepping out through the window and falling down, and a little bit into, the floor before popping back up above ground. "Flattery gets you everywhere," she tells Alexis with a warm laugh. Kitty nods in agreement with Sam's information on the simulation. "Yes, full control over the weather and time. You can let it run and have it decide randomly what to show, within the norms for the region at that time. Or let it tie to the actual weather reports. Or just summon a storm or nice sunset on command if you want," she says.

Kitty looks around. "Seems like a really nice place. So you grew up here? How long since you've been back?" Kitty inquires, bringing her eyes back to Alexis again.

Prismatic has posed:
    "Well, this is very much like the village near my grandfather's winery in Abruzzo -- you can't quiiite see the sea from there, but this is very close." she walks around a little bit, feeling the air move around them as she walks.

    "I wouldn't say I 'grew up' here. Most of the time I lived with my Nan, in England, in spite of being born in Boston where my parents live." she explains to Kitty with a little grin, "But Summers and holidays in Italy, with Nonna, Papa,and Zio Paolo. I haven't... probably four, five years now?" she frowns a moment, and crosses her arms as she looks over to the mountains.

    "This time of year, it'd be a bit chilly. The vinyard would be shut down for the winter period, olive harvested. Nonna would be in full Christmas mode -- Italy celebrates it pretty much until Epiphany." she replies quietly, and she gives a grin.

    "My papa, grandfather, not my father. He... was typically busy, Nutcracker season and all. My papa would put me in the back of the cart as he drove bottles of wine to give out to restaurants and jokingly try to sell me with the bottles."

    she gives a grin, and takes a deep breath.

    "But I can smell it, Zepuelle. There was one vendor who made his in the spring from fresh zuchinni blossoms, battered and deep-fried."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie smiles and says "Ah will admit, Ah have thought about doing an England version, but figured we probably already have a few since have had team mates who have lived there or were based around there. " He smiles and says "Kitty here even went to oxford for a while, and has spent a decent time there. Ah have only been a wee bit and more Scotland than anywhere else." He admits. He smiles and says "So is the Zepuelle out of season, something we should not be smelling hon?"

Shadowcat has posed:
Kitty rests her hands on her hips as she looks around. "Can move the time forward to the current if you want, but might want to also whip up a couple of coats for us if so," she says with a warm chuckle.

Kitty smiles as she listens to Alexis share some of her memories. "Sounds like a wonderful place. We do have a number of pleasant places to visit, though most of the simulations are training or teaching aids. That said, we can also pull photos in to make things match a bit more." Satellite imagery went into laying things out in the right spots, so the layout should match, but some details might be off as they had to be made up on the fly.

Kitty smiles as Samuel gets into the details of tinkering with it and adjusting the smells. Those are the little details that she knows really make things feel real. "How are you liking the school in general so far? Are you settling into the classes ok? Students giving you any trouble?" she asks.

Prismatic has posed:
    "Oh, no, no, they still have them, just usually there's salted anchovies or slices of winter squash inside them. Sometimes broken pasta." the girl smiles a she walks. "Oh, I don't mind the season, after all it's entirely within reason to have half a metre of snow all over the place in some places!" she jokes with Kitty.

    "Oxford? A lady of many, many talents. How did you like it? I've only ever seen the outsid eof the buildings." she replies, and gives a laugh, "Saint Cecelia's is a good hour's bus ride from the university."

    School in general is... oddly concerning. I've started studying to become a proper teacher. Didn't think that would happen. A couple of the students mistook me for another student. One attempted to be suave below the mistletoe in the hallway." her nose wrinkles. "Didn't work out for the lad. I think once the holdays are done with, it should move much easier." she glances back to Sam, fiddling with the pad, andthen leans casually against a wlal, holding her own set of 'bumblebee' trainers.

    "What about you, Kitty? Do you still like working here, as well as Stark Industries after all the time you spent here?"

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie 's brow raises a bit and says "Which kid?" He asks, maybe planning on giving the kid some grief? He walks along with them, and says "Kitty has always been the smart one, sometimes a pain in the rear, but a good egg even then looking back at it." He smirks a bit over at Kitty, and says "Actually Kitty here would be a good person to get some hand to hand, and maybe practice your fencing with as well. She is more Katana than rapier I believe though."

Shadowcat has posed:
Kitty Pryde wanders with them through the Italian landscape, looking over to Alexis and listening to her details about the food. "Mmm, sounds delicious," she replies. "Oxford was amazing. I'm sure any university would have that sense of... just, learning and opportunity. But something that stood out to me was just how into it so many people were. You could wander into a pub and soon be engaged in a conversation about literature, poetry, art, physics, philosophy. The kind of conversations that would have people looking at you askance in another pub were an everyday thing there," Kitty says, a beautiful smile growing at the memories.

"I do miss that part," the brunette young woman says. "Though, at least in the science and engineering side, it is kind of like that at Stark. It's tough burning the candles at both end this much. Why I only do a couple of hours, a couple of days a week here. But I try to be around during my off time. And, it does help having a boss who knows I'm an X-man and embraces it. It doesn't mean I can ignore work, I'm getting paid to produce. But at the same time, if I need two days to go to Canada to track down a Sentinel lead, they are more accommodating than a normal job would be."

Sam is given a laugh and a swat in the side for his comment. "Sure, I'd be happy to work out," she offers. "Yes, more of the Japanese swords," she agrees.

Prismatic has posed:
    "Ah... kendo? Or more ala carte?" Alexis inquires in regards to the swords, and she gives a bright grin. "If you need me to start asking physics questions, I certainly could give it the 'old college try' -- but I'm afraid there's a good reason I attended a conservitory and not a traditional private academy." she gives a grin.

    "Well, between music studies, ballet class, private tutilage and occasionally picking up a gig in NYC -- being shot at *NOT* withstanding -- we can commisserate over busy lives with tea any time~." she gives a wry smile, and looks out over the landscape.

    "So, close quarters, outdoor fighting, or shall we make our way to a local watering hole and have a bar fight?"

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie smiles a bit and says "Well close in fights a bit more what you will probably be doing if your fighting right?" He grins and says "You want change into the bees or work out in normal clothes?" He asks her, and will add "A good old fashion bar room brawl might be a good thing to see where we need to work. And I am pretty sure we have a few in the database, what with some of Logan, and Kurt's scenes

Shadowcat has posed:
At the question about style, and the mention of kendo, Kitty gives a little so-so gesture but one that is tempered with a shake of the head that collective means sort of but not really. "More like... ancient ninja psychopath," she says, "Combined with... ah... actually that description works for Logan too now that I think about it."

Kitty gives a laugh which would probably let one think they can take most of what she said for a joke. "Ninjutsu mostly," she says. She leaves out mention of additional styles she's been learning under a group in Gotham, though wonders how long until Logan picks up on her knowing them.

"Hopefully you won't be fighting," Kitty says. "But it isn't bad to learn to defend yourself well. Do you mind if I ask in what direction your abilities run, Alexis?" Kitty asks.

Prismatic has posed:
    "Well..." Alexis begins, and she gives a sigh, and pulls down the collar of her T-shirt. She has not gone to see Chris yet, so ther eis some FABULOUSLY opalescent bruising creeping down her chest.

    "I'm bulletproof. Somewhat. Between my epidermis and my dermal layers of skin there is this... armor network, I suppose. It stops bullets, knives, different sorts of punches from getting through for a good while. It just takes a while to heal if it gets a good hit or broken, and until it does I'm a bit of a prismatic mess." she jokes.

    "Makes things difficult when I have to get a flu shot, and though I've not met the man properly, Chris jokes that he would have to recruit this Logan if I ever needed surgery."

Prismatic has posed:
    "As for getting into the jumpsuit --" she turns and looks to Sam, "I could dash back to the changing room real quick."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie will tap on the tablet, and a small building that looks like something you would see on the beach for changing into a swimsuit appears beside them "You don't have to head to the locker room, just will need to have a robot hold your clothes your wearing now." He nods, and says "Allegra likes helping people as well, one of our more ... impromptu dates started with us both stumbling across some goons trying to start some stuff with a girl in bushwick.

Shadowcat has posed:
Kitty leans against a fencepost as she listens to Alexis describe her powers. "Not getting hurt is a big bonus. Or, even not getting hurt badly. There's so many abilities it would be nice to have. That would be a good one. I'm just as squishy as the next girl if someone catches me unawares," she says, rubbing at her jaw as if at a memory.

Kitty nods as Sam creates the impromptu changing room. "Just remember if you remove your real clothes, don't walk out of the Danger Room wearing only the holographic ones. That has happened on a few occasions," she says, grinning. Bits of Xavier's School lore that have turned into myth and legend amongst the students, though occasionally those present for them can be induced to tell the stories.

Prismatic has posed:
    Right in the middle of the village, there is now a beach shanty changing station. Alexis looks /delighted/, and even claps her hands once and gives an appreciative "Oh, fantastic!", and she slips into the hut.

    "I beleive, Mr. Guthrie, that was our second date. And yes, imagine if you will Kitty, me - short, little me -- walking up to three young men about Sam's height and asking them in impolite terms to find themelves a different direction to walk in."

    Her head sticks out the door, "Also, I think Sam walked in with this package. So unless it's holigraphed over something embarrassing, should be fine. If not?"

    The door closes again.

    "Sam gets to wear the practice tutu on 'Club Appreciation Day'... in front of the school."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie smirks a bit and says "You got me back in the leggings and work out gear, and even dancing with Doug the other day don't think a tutu is going to happen hon. Mind you might be able to get Kitty here to join us on some of the dance classes, she was taking them with Doug, and the rest. He will grin and says "There have some pretty wild claims of what has happened in these walls. Doug did have us fight a young version of a hero group one day for practice when running it one for us.

Shadowcat has posed:
Kitty grins at the mention of dance classes. "Oh, you know the way to my heart, Samuel Guthrie," she tells him, giving the taller man a pat on the shoulders. "Well, I'll let you two get to your workout, and head back and see if there's anything else I need to do before I turn back to my day job for a bit. People are out so it's slow, but need to do a little working from home still," she says.

"Alexis, glad that it's going well. Let Sam rough up any of those mistletoe-ers that bother you," she says with a quick grin. "I did mention maybe not having TOO much of it around a bunch of hormonal teenagers might be a good idea." Having it around hormonal staff is bad enough!

Kitty waves then and heads out to leave them to their training.

Prismatic has posed:
    "Come now Sam, modern tutus were created to show off all of that wonderful leg work, and teeechnically you'd be wearing less as a danseur than a tutu." the dark haired girl grins, and comes back out, wearing her very own Bumblebee jumpsuit, adjusting it very slightly.

    "How does it look?" she questions, giving a wave to Kitty as she makes her exit. "Watch the hormones! You might trip over them!"

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie smiles and says "Looks pretty good, think you could get used to it?" He grins at her, and says "And if you end up wanting something besides them more your own costume we can work on that as well. " He leans in to give her a hug, and says "Ok, so you wanting to get in a fight here, or keep this a bit more pristine and have a bar fight in someplace a bit more rough and tumble looking?

Prismatic has posed:
    "I think I could get used to wearing something like this." Allegra replies to Sam as she coils her hair into a bun again, and she gives a look around the hillside village.

    "... no, let's.. let's go somewhere else. I'd hate to mess up this vision just yet."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie nods, and he will tap on the tablet for a few moments, and the world changes around them, a much darker grittier street. they find themselves in Mandapoir. "Now this is the type of place where a bar fight is almost mandatory." He tells her "We are in Mandipor, a wretched hive of scum and villainy for sure. He takes her hand and they will appear to have more night on the town clothes on.

Prismatic has posed:
    "All right, Obi-Wan." Allegra gives a wry smile, and she reaches over to take his hand. "So... this is 'Low Town' Madripoor, right?" she inquires,, her fingers twisting in his before they get switched out. The bumblebee is now a black sheath dress, with a slit up to her thigh. She wears flats, and has a shawl over her shoulders as she walks with Sam.

    "This is programmed in as well?"

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie is wearing black dress pants and a grey button up shirt. "We have a few set up for different types of affairs, formal, biker bar, all kinds and clothes to fit in for if we don't want to wear our normal clothes and chance them getting tore up and such. He will lead her into the Brass Monkey saloon . "We have had a few adventures here, but not spent a lot of time here just wandering about."

Prismatic has posed:
    "So, largely mission-based visits rather than tourism pit stops?" Allegra asks as they poke around a little bit, and he leads her into the Brass Monkey.

    "Lowtown isn't precisely its tourism spot in any case, right? .. it's like Bushwick, but more depressing."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie says, "More crooked, Ah think to be honest." He leads her to a table, and will order a couple of a couple of beers. He smirks a bit over to her, and says "So, spent much time around bars? I know age laws are different in european countries right?"

Prismatic has posed:
    Alexis slips in behind Sam, and gives a nod of understanding. Mind, she knew Crooked. He was her landlord. She walks a bit behind him, but gracefully sits at the table, looking around at the others in the bar.

    "Depends where in Europe. Used to be if you could see over the bar, you were old enough to order." she states wryly, "But I can drink pretty much everywhere *except* the United States. Confusing law, if you ask me."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie smiles and will bring the beers to have a seat. He sits down beside her, and says "So, unlike a real bar fight we know one will break out not when that is unless we start it." He jokes a bit with her. He will point out a few things about peoples behavior who seems to be looking for trouble, who are trying to remain hidden, and who is just out for a drink on the town.

Prismatic has posed:
    The short guy in the corner was a construction worker, out for a drink. There were a couple of folks who were milling about, waiting for something. The bartender is super chill, like he's been here every night of his life.

    Allegra watches the group, and her head tilts slightly, watching one bald guy in a black jacket with shifty eyes. "So, it could be five minutes, could be two hours?" she questions.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie nods his head a bit to this and says "It is better to have it as not known when since you don't know when one will break out and you have to be ready for anything. Specially in places like this.

Prismatic has posed:
    There was a quiet sound behind them, and someone gets up. A woman with bleach blonde hair comes over to Sam, giving him a sweet smile before she leans over the back of his chair and whispers: "Vous avez l'air très beau, mais très stupide. Je vais prendre ton portefeuille tout de suite et faire un clin d'oeil à ta copine."

    And Sam might feel just a tap on his backside, where gentlemen usually keep their wallets as she turns and winks to Allegra, who turns a little red.

    "Do we get a sign to start fighting?"

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie will reach to grab the woman's wrist, and smirks a bit in rather broken french he will reply "Stupid but I do speak some french." He is ready for her to slap or claw at him. He says to Alexis "And then you have to be prepared for people who think your dumber than you are."

Prismatic has posed:
    Dumber than you are may be right, because the lady suddenly screams out "Let me go! I don't want to go back to your hotel with you! Help! Help!"

    Already getting to her feet, Allegra looks around as a couple of those bigger guys who were hanging at the bar turn their heads, and seeming to enjoy the chance to cause some troble get up from their seats and begin to make their way over to Sam.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie will make sure to pop her hand to make her let go of the wallet, and catch his wallet. He looks to the guys and will try "She was trying to steal my wallet, why would Ah want a skank like her, when Ah have a lovely lady already with me." He does try to judge if the guys are with her.,

Prismatic has posed:
    Hard to say, but when they talk it's not in French.

    "Sorry buddy, no one grabs the ladies on our watch." one says, and he rears back and tries to deliver a tough right-hook to Sam's jaw!

TAllegra gives a soft cry out in alarm, but quickly goes to try and grab at the blonde -- knowing she doesn't stand a chance against a guy who looks like he eats rusty nails for breakfast. She's going after the lady.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie will duck under the right hook and brings two punches to the guys solar plexes. Sam seems to have spent time in fights like this before. He has a smirk on his face, and says "Then tell your ladies not to grab stuff that aint theres.

Prismatic has posed:
    The big guy grunts as he gets his stomach struck, bowing over slightly as Number Two slips around, and atempts to grasp Sam's head in his great , meaty hands, looking to grab the blond's face into the table as he gives a snarl.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie gets grabbed, but moves with the man's movement, he diverts the force, and instead of hitting the table he just misses it scrapping the side of his face with a bit of a roar rash, but no broken nose at least. He shoots his foot out aiming at the man holding him's ankle. "Know two against one aint fair, Ah may have to fight dirty."

Prismatic has posed:
    "Could take on your pretty little friend!" Guy One pipes up, and he comes back in, his hands clapsed together, fingers entwined as he brings them down to Sam's back, trying to put Guthrie to the floor!

Prismatic has posed:
    "Could take on your pretty little friend!" Guy One pipes up, and he comes back in, his hands clapsed together, fingers entwined as he brings them down to Sam's back, trying to put Guthrie to the floor!

    Guy Two grunts in agreement as the kick strikes his ankle, but it appears he's wearing some sort of re-enforced boot. He turns, slowly bringing his foot back, and brings his boot up to try and smash in Sam's knee as One tries to send him down!

    Alexis, meanwhile, has chunks of blonde hair in her hands as she's pulling, trying to disentangle herself from a scarf that got looped around one arm and her side as the blonde screams.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie will kick his foot out in an odd kick towards the kicking man's foot. More looking to off balance the guy than actually hurt him, as he grabs a chair and pulls it in so goon #1 finds his first connecting with wood instead of red neck

Prismatic has posed:
    The wood CRACKS and Guy the First gives a snarling yelp, coming away and shaking off his hand before Number 2 goes off balance. Number two skids backwards, backpedaling and windmilling his thick arms before he finds himself collapsing onto another patron and spilling his beer. This doesn't appear to carner any favors, because in the next instant there's the breaking of glass, as someone grabs a bottle and smashes it over Guy Number 2's head.

    Alexis and Frenchie are currently entangled oddly. Alexis appears to be attempting to noogie the other woman with her elbow, while the blonde is biting at Alexis's under arm!

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie will reach out to punch Guy #2, and as he said he might fight dirty and he does, aiming for the man's groin. He counts on the other guy being held up by the other patrons and says "Head locks only really good if your trying to choke them out or hitting their head with something really hard

Prismatic has posed:
    "She... is... trying... to bite... my *armpit*." Alexis replies, but she changes her strategy. She grasps the blonde, she brings her leg back and sweeps the blonde to the floor -- but with her as well! BUT there is a chair in the way of the blonde's head. The strike is good enough to daze the french would-be theif!

    The chair-hitting Guy number 1 is coming bck for Sam, bringing part of that broken chair in a high arc over his head to try and smash it down on Sam.

    Guy Number 2 and the Bottle-breaking Guy 3 are now in a tussel. Guy 3 gets shoved forwards Sam, and accidentally joins the fray!

Prismatic has posed:
    The groin punch strikes true, and the guy howls in pan, his knees curling, eyes watering as he collapses.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie will move to avoid guy #3 falling into him, and will stand up getting himself to straightened out. He offers Alexis a hand to help het get back to her feet quicker as well.

Prismatic has posed:
    Alexis accepts the hand to get back up on her feet, curls her hands into loose fists and goes back to back with Sam.

    "So. Am I getting high marks on my elbow-noogies?"

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie smiles a bit and says "Bit better with the leg sweep." He grins at her, and will move so she and he are back to back. "You will do better with strikes, if your going for a hold, needs to either be painfull or disabilitating

Prismatic has posed:
    "You're going to have to teach me some better moves because that back leg-sweep is kinda it!" Alexis replies, and she breathes out as there are grumblings in the bar all around them.

    "... chances of this turning into an all-out free for all?"

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie smirks a bit and says "Pretty decent to be honest. With your dancing kicks would be a strong one for you." He tells her. The more force and speed you can kick and keep them away the better. Lets you use your resistance as a surprise
