Cast of Characters: Phoenix, Shadowcat, Nightingale




Phoenix has posed:
Having cleared time to slot in a meeting with Kitty, Jean is rather relaxed, and instead of behind the desk, she moved to set up two chairs by a small coffee table, set with a pot of earl grey tea, and a few scones for refreshments.

Shadowcat has posed:
Kitty's not bothering with a door. Doors are for people who play by the rules. Kitty phases in, andd peers at the coffee table. Scones? Sweet!

RShe crosses to a chair and sits, Lockheed in her lap. Earl gray tea and scones? Sweet. Kitty's a fan of this.

Taking a breath she clears her throat. "So" Kitty nods. "I figured I'd meet up with you since I found a possible candidate for us" she beginss. "I wanted to keep you in the loop and explain the situation. I ended up in a costume shop in Flatbush and did some digging on one of the employees. She's a mutant and works there. I feel she'd be a good candidate for us"

Phoenix has posed:
"Have a seat, Kitty," Jean says as Kitty walks through the door, unfazed by the phasing, because, well, it's part for the course when it comes to everyone's favorite Kitty. "Oh...? I could follow up with Cerebro, what do you know about her?" Jean asks with interest, as she goes about pouring tea for Kitty and herself, "help yourself to the scones, they're delicious."

Shadowcat has posed:
Kitty looks over and smiles. "Oh thank you" she smiles breaking off a scone for Lockheed. Because sure, give her dragon food instead of having him take it. Ninja Kitty? Nah. Considerate Kitty. She looks to Jean. "I have a candidate lined up. Her name is Alice, she works at a costume shop in Flatbush. I phased there by accident and did some digging on her. She's a mutant and I feel she'd be a good fit with us instead of out in the big city" Kitty nods, chewing on a scone and her other hand playing with Lockheed

Phoenix has posed:
Jean takes a moment to look intently at Lockheed working on his bit of scone, because, well, he's freakin' adorable. "You phase on accident now...?" Jean wonders, looking curiously at Kitty, "you feeling well?" She wonders aloud. "What is her gift?" Jean asks of Kitty, before adding, "has she been expression aspirations of activism?"

Shadowcat has posed:
Kitty nods. "I am. I just was having trouble sleeping so that was the end result. I had a few friends keeping me out of trouble" she nods, Lockheed peering at Jean.

"Her gift? I actually don't know, but...she works in a costume shop. My guess would be something with fabrics and costumes, and I am not sure if she wants activism. I didn't get that far" she nods.

"So tell me about Cerebro?" she asks and reaches for another scone, peering at the tea too.

She looks toward the door. "Hey Shannon, can you come in here a moment please? It's about our friend in the costume shop" she calls.

Phoenix has posed:
"Than how can you know if she's a good fit...?" Jean muses, "we're potentially putting our students in danger if we're involving unknowns." She tilts her head as Kitty explains she has no clue about Alice's passions, making her a bit more confused about it. "So, you've pointed her entirely at random?" She asks, sounding a bit amused, "maybe her gift involves generating affinities?" Reaching to sip some of her tea, "you don't know about Cerebro? You've got clearance for that...I can tell you," she starts, before Kitty invites Shannon in, and she concludes, "at another time."

Nightingale has posed:
     Somehow, teachers and guidance counselors always seemed to know when a student was trying to find them--even if it wasn't always when a student wanted them to! The winged teen is not blind to Jean's quick change of subject, the 'at another time' a cue that maybe, just maybe, this was not the greatest time to be seeking out the headmistress. Shannon peers through the door, in what looked to be a rather simple but stunning floor-length crimson red dress, with long sleeves, a modest sweetheart neckline, and adjustments to the back to allow for her wings. The material still has the more crisp feel of something newer, hinting at its origins as a recent sewing project. For once, the girl is barefoot, not even bothering with stocking feet this time. "Ummm, if this is a bad time, I can wait outside...?"

Phoenix has posed:
"Kitty did ask for you, so do come in, Shannon," Jean offers as she turns to look at the girl in the red dress and smiles, "are you on your way to a dance? A date? Or just felt like looking pretty today?" She asks, before gesturing at an empty cup, "would you like some tea?"

Shadowcat has posed:
Kitty did, in fact, call for Shannon. She takes in the winged one's appearence. "See" Kitty says with a smile. "You're looking good today. I'm just in my usual wintry gear. So come on, we got tea and scones" she nods and looks pleased, sipping her own tea as Lockheed's watching intently, eyes flicking between Shannon then Jean.

"Oh, yes, these scones are good. Home made or?" she nods, watching Jean and Shannon. "Hey Shannon, you need to teach me how to cook one of these days" she says and looks amused.

Glancing back to Jean. Kitty smirks and holds out a broken up scone on her palm again, Lockheed doing his best dragon vacuum impression.

Nightingale has posed:
     Shannon turns a little bit rosy, and cracks a lopsided, quirky little smile at Jean. "No dance, no date, it's just been a while since I've made myself something pretty. The fit needed testing." The delicate, citrus-like notes of bergamot and the yeasty-sweet aroma of the scones fill the air near the table, both two of the teen's weaknesses. "Thank you, that'd be wonderful." A chair is brought over to join the others at the table, the young woman settling herself down with a little flick of her wings and a fair amount of grace; it seems ballet lessons have been paying off. However, before accepting a cup for herself, she does offer to top off Jean's and Kitty's first!

     Glacier-blue eyes flit between the two, and she cants her head slightly to one side. "So... besides scones and tea, has anything in particular come up?" There is something about her tone that suggests she might have her own share of things to bring up, but will not interrupt the current topic of conversation for it.

Phoenix has posed:
"Ororo made them actually, they're quite delicious," Jean says with a smile, gesturing towards Kitty at Shannon's question, "the guidance counselor called you, maybe you should ask her?"

Nightingale has posed:
     Shannon grins a ltitle sheepishly at both Jean and Kitty, dipping her head in turn to each. "I had intended that for both of you, my apologies." Now her attention is turned more fully on the guidance counselor in question, canting her head slightly to one side, her eyebrow quirked upwards. "So... what /is/ going on?"

Shadowcat has posed:
"Our chat in the lab" Kitty offers. "Remember I said I'd let Jean know? Now's a good time" Kitty nods looking pleased. "So shall we?" she asks looking from Jean to Shannon

Nightingale has posed:
Shannon nods and smiles a bit. "Yes, but... well, it almost sounded like you had something else, too, and I don't want to derail that." Glancing between Kitty and Jean, the healer in training nibbles on one of the scones, looking for a moment as if she's just been transported to heaven. "I think I'm going to have to bug Miss Munroe for the recipe for these!"
