Pixie has posed:
It's a sunny, mild afternoon in the backyard of Xavier's school today, and with just a few days left before classes begin again, a lot of kids are out and about, playing in the snow. Megan is here too, a bit of an older student now that she's started her first year of college, but she's also playing with the kids while supervising the younger ones..

Which of course involves lots of jumping around in the snow, creating snow angels and building snow men. Let's just hope the days dont get too cold, although there's a bit of a grey cloud on the horizon off into the distance.

Colossus has posed:
Colossus comes outside in a parka and a stocking cap, bright blue with snowflakes along the edge and a little fluffy ball on teh top. He claps his hands together, shaking his head. "You call this cold? In Russia, this is summer!" he calls out laughingly, taking a stray snowball and shaking his fist playfully in response.

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn is really quite comfy in her green peacoat, white hat and gloves. She giggles and she tosses snow at the younger kids. "Hahaha, it's soo nice though, isn't it?" she waves cheerfully to Coloossus. "Soo, what's it like in Russia? I can't imagine you actually like the weather there?"

Colossus has posed:
Colossus smiles, "I grew up with it. It never bothered me, but I am invulnerable to it in my organic steel form regardless. It was a harsh thing on the farm, though. I much preferred the joys of spring and planting and the sound of the birds singing, the green of the grass awakening, the honest work of the plow," he says.

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn nods and sighs, "Of course. That must be nice though, living ona farm? What about Illy? I'll bet she was a brat as a kid, wasn't she?" Megan grimaces as she says that, regretting it the moment its out of her mouth, knowing how protective he can be of his little sister. Even if she IS a brat, as far as Megs is concerned.

Colossus has posed:
Colossus raises an eyebrow, "On the contrary, Illyana was a very sweet and kind child. The kind who loved to pick flowers and play with her dolls. She grew up...suddenly. In a very literal sense. One day she was but a child and then...she wasn't. I am sorry if you have difficulties with her, but I hope you try to remember that she has been through horrors most of us cannot imagine."

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn blinks slowly, quite surprised. "Wow...Really? I mean..she's so....Kinda mean now, and.." she laughs nervously, "I mean, I guess I get it, living in that creepy limbo place and all..Although I never really got the lowdown on everything with that. I mean, WHY did she choose to go live in that creepy place, and why does she spend soo much time there still, and why do people call her Queen of Limbo?"

To be honest, Megan never really bothered to ask her, she just disliked the girl, even if things were a little bit better between them lately.

Colossus has posed:
Colossus shakes his head, "I do not believe she went there at first by choice. Nor do I think she stayed, at least at first, of her own accord. In time, anyone will adapt tot he circumstances of their life. That's part of surviving. I know it can be hard to be sympathetic when someone is...harsh. But it rarely comes from nowhere. There is always a source. Admittedly, I am biased in her favor, but I still believe in Illyana's heart. I always will."

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn pouts and sighs, "Of course you are. Afterall, she is family to you, even if she's like, totally different from you." she shrugs, playing with a snowball in her hand. "I suppose if I had siblings I'd understand better, but I dunno.."

Megan does smile a little though, "You know..she always says stuff like, how I remind her of herself, once upon a time..Isn't that funny?"

Colossus has posed:
He shakes his head, "That does not sound so impossible to me. You are a bright soul with a bit of wildness about you, much as she was. I hope you do not have to deal with the same darkness as she has. If you do, I hope you will be willing to ask for help. We are all here for you and the other students in times of need."

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn giggles as she balances a snowball in each hand as she speaks, although honestly they look like they're gonna melt soon. "Ya think? Geez, I'd really have liked to have met Illy when she was like me. Maybe we wouldn't be clashing soo much."

With a shrug, she flutters up into the air a few feet and tosses a snowball in each direction, hitting a kid on either side of her. "Huzzah! Gotcha!" she grins wickedly, rolling up another snowball, narrowing her eyes at Colossus now.

"Heads up!" and she tosses one at him next.
