Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost lays on a floating chair in the middle of the pool. It's long and inflated carefully, clear to show the crisp blue pool water through it. It has armrests. including a large drink with an oversized straw and an umbrella that is definitely VERY alcoholic, regardless of it being the middle fo the afternoon. Emma has on a white two-piece bathing suit connected by a gold-colored ring just below her breasts, with a pair of large sunglasses and her hair, still damp from her earlier swim, carefully tugged back into a makeshift chignon.

"Hello there, dear," she says, extending one of her bare feet in a vague wave as Tabby arrives at the pool area.
Boom-Boom has posed:
Tabitha had been adjusting to life back at the Xavier school, now as a teacher. Auto-shop at that. Which put a huge amused grin on the blonde's features a while till she settled in. While classes are winding down and the lack of a teacher till now, meant Tabby hasn't had to actually run a class.

So that meant chill and decompression time where she can. Going from homeless to having a home can be a process. Access to a pool helps which is where Tabitha comes in, old but small pink cropped tank top and faded, ripped, and very tight jeans worn over a pink string bikini, pink rubber sandals on her feet, and red tinted raybans on her nose finishing the outfit while a towel draps over her shoulder.

Not that she was sneaking around but it is very difficult to sneak up on a telepath. Which earns a surprised "Uhh, Hi!" in greeting as Tabitha maybe can't help but enjoy the view in the swimming pool that the White Queen provides. "I'm Tabitha, but everyone calls me Boom-Boom. I'm the new mechanics teacher." she introduces herself in a goofy tone.
Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost is technically a teacher, teacher of ethics, but she goes about it in a very unconventional fashion. Including often running classes from afar either telepathically or on her iPad. She sits up a bit and draws off her sunglasses, taken in the young teacher with a wry smile. Not that Emma's exactly ancient, she just always seems more grown-up than other people. She seemed that day when she was a small child, even.

"Ah, yes, I'm familiar with your file," she says, "And what you bring to the table. Gorgeous, of course. I'm Emma Frost, of course. White Queen, ethics teacher, telepath extraordinaire, fashionista. Pleausre to meet you in the flesh."
Boom-Boom has posed:
That same air also tends to help others feel younger in Emma's presence though despite being someone encroaching on her mid twenties. There's probably a lot of mention about a lack of maturity in Tabitha's file and a lot of the abuse she went through before the first time she joined the school as a student.

The compliments get a big grin as a poolside sun lounge is where the girls towel, and eventually most of her clothes get discarded. "You ran the school over in Metropolis right? Cool. I dunno if small plasma bombs is much of a thing these days when people here can punch holes in mountains. But then another sneaky ex-thief that looks great in tight clothes is always handy. We do have some straight eclectic skills!" she might be leaving a little about herself that's not on file out for now.
Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost gives a soft nod, "I did for a time, but I didn't have sufficient support and I couldn't keep it going without putting my own resources at risk' she sighs. "Some of my old students have turned up here. You may have met Firestar, although she's far more potent now than when I knew her. Stronger of mind, too. I'll take a little credit for that, although she might not like it."

She lazily trails her fingers through the water, heavy-lidded eyes lazily taking in Boomer. "I'm sure you'll be very popular with the students," she grins.
Boom-Boom has posed:
Those jeans might take a little longer to work down compared to the top, but soon it's just the swimsuit, sandals, sunglasses, and the hair tie maintaining loose hair and pigtails atop her head. The shoes at least can offer protection in the water and survive. Good for the lakebed as much as the pool floor.

"Firestar's great, saw Dani Moonstar here, she was a student when I was a kid. We're both New Mutants. Well capital N and M, we aren't exactly new now." she points out with a smile.

"There's another girl that just arrived, not a student or a teacher, literally fell out of a portal on the lawn. You can't miss her, red skin, lots of black leather, mute, long talony claws." she air scratches at that. "Cure but she's not used to being called that. Don;t know her name but I've been calling her 'Slice' told Jean about her, but more friendly telepaths won't hurt to help her. She's definitely been through some bad shit though. So lots of help dealing." she says with a smile.

"And yeah, as a teacher I'm sure next semester is going to result in a very packed class. But I'm guessing you've been dealing with that for a while now. And I'm not exactly experienced as a teacher." she doesn't even have a college degree. Just barely graduated the high school classes here.
Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost cocks her head, "Intriguing. I may have to look into the young woman. I'm particularly gifted with those who have a less...congenial temperament. Jean's such a girl scout, honestly. She has a dark side, yes, but it's antithetical to her nature. She doesn't like hurting people."

Which would indicate that maybe Emma does?"

"Honestly, better you than me, I know nothing of automobiles beyond the name of the service I call to have it sent around. But I'ms ure you look delightful in a greasy jumpsuit," she teases, slipping from her float and plunging into the water, sinking underneath and then swimming over to the edge of the pool, her pale blonde hair slicked straight back.
Boom-Boom has posed:
Seating herself down at the edge, Tabby doesn't yet slide into the water but does enjoy watching Emma start to swim over.

"If I ever have to wear one of those please shoot me. They do make work clothes that can actually look good. Even with an embroidered name tag. Though I will incinerate anyone that presents one named 'Smitty'." that gets a shudder. Smitty was her dad's nickname and that brings a flash of memories. Where she first learned about cars. And then the beatings.

"You know, there is fun in getting behind the wheel yourself and taking something really fast and just going wild on the roads. Top down, wind in your hair, all that stuff. You're rich so I I suppose it'd be like taking one of the stallions out of the stable." she nudges her head to said building. "And taking him on a gallop through the grounds. Just with a bike it's the same thing. Just faster."
Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost smiles, "I have done that with horses a few times. It can be quite exhilirating. All that power rampaging between my thighs, carrying me off to god knows where," she laughs, "I prefer the smell of horses to cars as well. Most of the time. That's what a good stablehand is for," she says.

He opens a small basket and draws out a little cheese and some strawberries, eating one carefully and offering to share. "You'll have to teach me to enjoy the mechanical equivalent."
Boom-Boom has posed:
"Saddles are still the same whether it's on a horse or a bike. I've had stable duties a plenty. So I know what all those smells are like. Honestly, it might actually be better than a lot of the cleaning stuff in the garage. The stronger degreasers can give a hospital a run for burning your nose." she says with a giggle.

The shared strawberry gets a smile and is accepted with a small thanks. Then she maybe kind of has to force herself to eat it in a couple bites and not just wolf it down.

The sort of habits that come when food is not always so easy to come by. "I'll definitely have to take you out for riding lessons. Vice versa. I've never actually ridden a horse. They'd probably just throw me off if I say the wrong thing. I'm certain Dani's Brightwind is sentient." which might explain the possibility and her train of though.
Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost can see that restraint, "There are more in the refrigerator. Feel free to have as many as you like. Don't deny your appetites on my account," she says.

She eats a piece of cheese, soft and robust, chewing thoughtfully before she answers, "Sounds as though we should both give each other a few rides. In the name of alma mater bonding, of course."
Boom-Boom has posed:
"It's more I gotta make sure I don't eat too much too fast. My diet's a mess. Powers draw from my metabolism too." which explains why she looks like she she's both over curved and still underfed. Helps with that muscle tone everywhere. Access to decent food and a place to work out and train again can only be a benefit.

"It's educational. We do also have a class project, or will once classes start. Kids are gonna be building their own bikes from parts we can scrounge and source. Restoration from the chassis up. Maybe we should put one together for yourself. Gives you an excuse to shop for some comfy but fashionable biker leathers." she suggests with a wink.
