Pixie has posed:
It's pretty late and a Monday night at that. Megan is probably pushing curfew at this time, but she really wanted to check out an exclusive show that had limited tickets. The Kitty Kat Dollz were playing, and it was a lot of work for her to secure these tickets. Fortunately, she was able to buy just enough for herself and four other people. As she steps in, she is dressed for a totally badass punk rock band, complete with loud punk metal music, neon strobe lights and one of those cool fog machines. Of course she totally dressed the part in a black minidress with neon pink tights and a green crop jacket. Her fairy wings and bright pink hair with black streaks naturally completes the look and goes so well with her bright green boots. "So! What do you think, is this awesome or what!?"

Magik has posed:
Club time, and a girl in a glittering silver frock and shockingly wicked go-go boots is the height of Russian glam. It's not that Illyana avoids such places. She just tends not to go out frequently like every other normal person. Her white-blonde hair is pulled up underneath what's surely a wig in opalescent rainbow shades. Or maybe it's her hair and just painted. Punk she doesn't resemble for an instant, except for a pair of spiked bracelets on her wrists that might just be the corporeal manifestation of the armour insisting on being present. "I have to hear the music first," she says while taking in the crowd. No one here is likely to mistake her for being a mutant. So she can just be the token human friend until someone screws up. Especially when they slap one of those 'old enough to drink' bracelets on her wrist and the marker is colourful enough to suggest she's a normal specimen with the cool kids. Bad, /bad/ Illyana.

"If Bean shows up, he has my seat. I can stand up there and dance."

Stepford Cuckoos has posed:
    "We're not exactly excited for the show, but we will have a good time." Esme says towards the other non-Cuckoo mutants that came with them from the mansion, and yet the other four Cuckoos have their eyes aimed out towards the crowd and there's a nudge towards Pixie's side. "Someone out there has a handbag full of ... Mongolian Bam Bam?" Irma explains before looking back towards Illy and Megan, "We're not sure what that is but we want to try." Then all five blonde clones lift their chins and lower it before resetting their face levels to normal.

    "We should be moving towards our seats yes?" "We don't want to be late and miss anything." Phoebe and Celeste both say before Sophie steps up and quiets the girls down. The matching twins wearing halter tops and tight leather pants that hug their waists down into a loose flair around their ankles in modern bell bottoms really make the girls pop out in a crowd if they were anywhere else.

    "Just because we've never been to a concert before doesn't mean we're allowed to be lame." Sophie explains before looking to Pixie and pats the girl's shoulder. "We'll follow your lead."

Kaida Connolly has posed:
Well, she didn't really need a ticket. Most don't even notice her, let alone check her ticket. Kaidas are like that. Sneaky and under the radar. Once inside, she looks around at all the people and noise and unless stopped, she hops up on to Megan's shoulder once inside and uses her to look around. She smiles at all the people but her ears are folded back as she walks around, "Already pretty loud." She nods her head, "I can handle loud but not sure I like it." She grins, "I'll give it a shot though." She shrugs and then sits down, kicking her feet a little as she considers the crowd.

She blinks over at the Cuckoos and then tilts her head, "I'm pretty sure I don't wanna try anything called Mongolian Bam bam." She shakes her head, "Sounds like some odd spin off of the Flintstones."

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn peers around. Wow, it sure is crowded here tonight. But at least they have Illyana to chaperone them tonight. " I mean, like..How old exactly are you anyway, Illy?" she peers at her frienemy curiously although she's sure she will not receive a simple answer in turn. "Ooh, we're still early, but they're after a warm up band called the Flaming Lizards." she makes a face, "I hear they're not that great.." the show hasn't quite begun and they are about 15 minutes early.

"Okay, okay, I think our table is over..There!" she points to a cozy booth near the back, "Okay, so the view isn't that great but at least our ears wont totally go asplody.." And Pixie leads the way towards said booth once she's made sure that everyone has their tickets. Save Kaida, because let's be honest, she's so tiny, no one will even notice her (sorry Kaida!).

As for the cuckoos, she smiles, "Dont worry, it'll be fun! I just wish I could tell you girls apart!"

Magik has posed:
"Don't be jealous of Russian skin. We never wrinkle," Illyana replies with that acerbically dry response to Megan, swaying locks flowing over her hair in a morphing profusion. The hints of auroral blue and jade green flash through the paler frost as she keeps an eye on the other Cuckoos. Telling them apart by clothes is one way to be relatively sure but there might be other tells. "I have no idea what Mongolian Bam Bam is. Food? Throat singing music?" Imagine the punk band interrupted by Mongolian throat singing as an interlude and suddenly things get a whole lot more interesting. She thumbs her phone, watching Irma and giving a little nod to encourage her to do things. Things that probably would constitute a good time and a bad, bad contract to sign with her other half.

She nods to Kaida and if any ride is needed, grabbing onto her boot is pretty easy. Though the speed with which she can navigate a crowd is a bit dizzying, turning and moving like space is plainly going to open up. "I need to meet up with my brother in a bit." A gasping shock! "Though I'll be here, too." How?

Stepford Cuckoos has posed:
    "We can help you with that Kaida... give you a little mental ear plug if you would like?" The Cuckoo's offer, no one's ever heard of anything like that, but they seem more than confident that they could do it. The blondes smile as they look towards Megan and lift their eyebrows in unison and then shake their heads in unison. "You mean to tell me you can't?" They say with a flat tone as if they've never heard the idea of humor in their life but then Sophie's lip twitches on her left as if that was the only hint Megan would need that they are teasing.

    "That is kind of the idea with twins Megan, but you'll get there, maybe one day." Celeste says as they follow the pink haired girl to the booth but they split up around the group, three on one side, one next to Illy as Irma taps her nose and disappears into the crowd. Though the one next to Illy turns her head and leans to whisper into Illyana's ear, they could share a message telepathically but most people get mad at that, so a whisper it is.

Kaida Connolly has posed:
A smile as she doesn't get kicked off of Megan's shoulder and then she looks over to Illyana and smiles, "I am betting it is a drug. There's always drugs in places like this." She nods her head, "They are gross." She nods her head and then she looks over at Megan with a slow blink before looking back over at the Cuckoos and then she looks back at Megan, "You can't tell them apart?" She considers, "I guess maybe your ears aren't sensitive enough but I think it's kinda simple until you get to Esme and Irma. They are both too quiet to really pick up on the differences." She nods her head as she shrugs and smiles.

She points at each in turn, "Sophie, Phoebe...Celeste..." She then hmms, "I think the one that left the table was probably Irma and Esme is the one still here but it's hard to tell, like I said." She shrugs her shoulders, "Anyway, you just gotta listen for their voices." She then looks over at Cuckoos and smile, "I'll let you knwo if I want the ear plugs." She nods her head, "Gonna try without it for now."

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn rolls her eyes at Illy. She knows that time works differently in Limbo, and that's where Illyana spends a lot of HER time..Which again begs the question..But of course she doesnt get a straight answer. "Phhhtt! How exactly are you gonna be here and visiting your brother at the same time anyway? Heey, why don't you just invite him over here?" she's got little stars in her eyes as she says that, mostly because she's always been a fan of Collossus.

Glancing at the Cuckoos, Megan bites her lip as they near the booth. "Hey, do we have enough seats? There should be a couple extra over there.." she points to an empty booth before she peers at the drink menu and sighs, "Just a few more years before I can drink alcohol..I guess I'll just go with iced tea for tonight.."

As for Kaida's comment, she shivers a bit glancing around, "Err drug? Gee I hope not..Hopefully we don't get any trouble tonight.." As the girls settle in their seats, the first group comes up to play. They not as well known or as popular so people aren't cheering all that loudly..Yet. Their music isn't terribly inspired but its got a decent rhythm in it.

Magik has posed:
Trying to share a message with Illyana telepathically isn't possible. Hammer all the live long day on her head, those wards are brutally enforced or simply there isn't anything until the Illyana-shaped mental hole where she ought to be. Tilting her head is much easier, especially with those butterfly lashes beating their blue-foil gleam. Irma's vanishing act and the remaining singleton get a hint of a smirk out of her. Her tongue flicks against her teeth as she searches the Cuckoo out for the crowd and, without too much preamble, flitters into the masses to find a seat.

Drinks are going to be another issue, since that's one point where having lemonade or a sparkling water is a necessity. Presumably.

The opalescent-haired blonde sorceress remains a fixture as the music starts, and so it goes for now. Her smirk is answer enough. (Good luck seeing through the illusion, average authority.)

Stepford Cuckoos has posed:
    "Point for Kaida, that was indeed Irma. Though she might be gone for a while." Sophie explains as she clains a seat and looks out over the crowds between them and the stage ahead. The other Cuckoos split suddenly at the mention by Megan and then just as quickly they are stuck sitting in not booth chairs around the front of the table, not looking towards the band but towards their friends. "Illyana is gone." Celeste explains with a motion towards the illusion and then a look to the pink haired woman and the mousey mutant.

    Sophie then speaks up, "You know if you want some drinks, we could make that happen too. I mean none of us are driving home anyways... as long as Illy gets back, but even then we could pay for an uber or two."

Kaida Connolly has posed:
A look over at Megan and she smiles, "I doubt there'll be trouble. They always have that kinda stuff in places like this. Sneaking it here and there. It's common." She shrugs, "These places were always good to get food but yeah, always drugs and drinking. Age or no age." She snickers and then looks over at Illyana and blinks at her before tilting her head. She listens to what the Cuckoos have to say on the matter of Illyana being here but then she hmms, "I guess..."

She looks then to the Cuckoos more directly and smiles, "I don't drink. My size, it doesn't take much...though I do metabolize it /super/ fast." She nods her head and considers, "Still not a good idea. Super tough mouse with super speed and drunk?" She giggles, "Probably bad."

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn giggles, "Yeah...Except two people are easier to keep track of than five.." she does nod to Kaida, admiringly, "Wow, you picked up on those subtle details? That's sooo cool! I guess I'm just clueless when it comes to stuff like that." And then some of the cuckoos and Illy swirl away in the encroaching crowds and Megan waves to them. "Hmmm, I think I'd like to eat something first before dancing. What do you think? Shall we order a nacho platter? They make good nachos and dip here, complete with chicken, four cheese sauce and spicey dip." she pouts a bit at Kaida, "Ooh, I guess that would be a bad idea. I mean most of us here are underage anyway..But feel free to sip some of my iced tea, I'll order an extra straw."

Stepford Cuckoos has posed:
    Sophie looks to Megan and Kaida, having pushed the other Cuckoos to stand up and go mingle out in the crowd, allowing the blond some more personal time to get to know Megan and Kaida much better, as most people tend to feel more comfortable with the girls on their own. "I'm sorry my sisters make you all uncomfortable, but to us, we prefer to be near each other, it's like being in... mother's womb, you know?" Having plucked that phrase from somewhere and even the way she says it feels alien and unnatural. "But we were just offering, as age on drinking is something that's only really pushed in the US, so we hear." From minds, near by, that are also underage.

Kaida Connolly has posed:
A giggle and then she shakes her head, "I'm good with language. It's just a talent of mine. Combine that with..." She paws up to her huge ears and then folds them down and she grins, "And I can hear a lot." She shrugs and then looks over at the kitchen area and then smiels and nods, "And yes! Food!" She pumps her little fist into the air before she blinks over at the Cuckoos and then tilts her head, "I do like the idea of drinking but just not for me really." SHe grins, "I'm far too small and young." She giggles and shrugs, "And even if I were older, I'd still be tiny!" She nods again before she considers, "I'm totally down for nachos though."

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn smiles, "It's okay! Were you girls gonna get some drinks or should we just stick with a small nacho platter?" the waitress is coming over already, ready to take their order, and if there are no objections, Megan goes ahead and orders the nacho platter, a glass of iced tea for herself and iced water for the others. "Hmm, not so keen on the flaming lizards. I really hope the Kitty Kat Grrrls are better." As all but one Cuckoo stand up and mingle with the crowd, Megan shrugs and smiles at Sophie, "Ooh, it's not that, I'm totally cool with all your, err, sisters? I guess it's just a bit confusing at times. But I'd like to get to know you all as individuals too! I mean..Are you guys quintiplets or just like copies like with multiple man? Are you guys like..Mentally connected too then? Like telepaths?" honestly they remind her a bit of Emma, just a little..
