- X-Man has posed:
X-Man is currently doing laps in the pool, swimming back and forth across the distance. He has some clothes by a towel next to the pool, now dressed only in his shorts. The breast stoke, one arm and then the other, legs kicking for extra propulsion forward.
- Stepford Cuckoos has posed:
The five Stepford Cuckoos walk into the pool area together, their identical blonde hair shimmering under the soft lighting from the sconces. Each girl is adorned in a swimsuit that matches her personality perfectly. Phoebe wears a bold red bikini with gold accents, exuding confidence and aggressiveness. Esme, with her power-hungry nature, opts for a sleek black one-piece with strategic cutouts, reflecting her edgy and commanding presence. Sophie, ever the heroic leader, dons a patriotic blue and white swimsuit with a cape-like sarong. Irma, the romantic, is clad in a pastel pink swimsuit with delicate lace trim, and Celeste, who thinks she is better than her sisters, wears an elegant white swimsuit with a stylish, high-neck design.<br><br>The girls are deep in conversation as they walk, their voices overlapping and interweaving.<br><br>"Did you see the latest fashion spread in Vogue?" Sophie starts, glancing at her sisters.<br><br>Irma responds, "Yes, but I thought the color palette was too muted for summer. They should have used brighter shades."<br><br>Phoebe chimes in, "Muted colors are in this season. It's all about subtle elegance."<br><br>Celeste nods, "But they could have done so much more with the textures. It was too flat."<br><br>As they approach the pool and notice Nate swimming, they pause, their attention collectively drawn to him. Their whispers become more pronounced as they observe his form slicing through the water.<br><br>Mindee, with a soft sigh, says, "He's cute."<br><br>Another girl, Phoebe, responds, "He's really, really cute."<br><br>Irma adds, "He's really, really, really cute."<br><br>Esme, rolling her eyes and smirking, interrupts, "Okay, I'm ending this bit before it gets any more ridiculous."<br><br>The girls fall silent for a moment, all eyes on Nate as he swims, their minds buzzing with curiosity and intrigue about the young man in the pool.
- X-Man has posed:
X-Man swims back towards the side of the pool with the girls are on, giving a light smile as he sees them. He kicks himself over towards the ladder to come out of the water, hair slicked back and his body dripping with rivlets of water. Muscular, tanned skin of his chest all on display as he breaks the water and out onto the pool's edge. He turns his back to the girls, bending down to get his towel from the ground, giving a good view of his butt in the tight clinging shorts. The towel goes to the legs, starting to dry him off as it moves upwards, over the chest and back and then finally ruffling the wait to get most of the moisture off of him, leaving the rest for the run to dry.
- Stepford Cuckoos has posed:
The Stepford Cuckoos, reaching to scrape over the boy's surface thoughts, exchange a few more whispered comments amongst themselves, their identical faces betraying a mixture of curiosity and suspicion.<br><br>"Did you see that smile?" Phoebe murmurs, her tone laced with elation.<br><br>"He seems... different," Irma adds, her voice softer but tinged with intrigue.<br><br>Before they can delve further into their private analysis, Esme's patience wears thin. "Alright, enough. I'll handle this," she declares with authority. With a confident stride, Esme marches right over to Nate, and taps him on the shoulder to get his attention.<br><br>"Excuse me, my sister Mindee thinks you're cute," Esme states bluntly, her eyes locking onto his with an unwavering gaze.<br><br>The other sisters follow closely behind, creating a unified front. One of the sisters, likely Phoebe, chimes in, "Yeah, and it's making us all think the same thing."<br><br>Sophie, trying to soften the approach, quickly adds, "Not that you're not cute, because you are."<br><br>Finally, all five girls speak in unison, their voices blending seamlessly. "Do you have a girlfriend?"<br><br>Mindee, with a hint of shyness, speaks up individually, "Or boyfriend?"<br><br>The girls once again harmonize in unison, "You can't assume these days."<br><br>Their synchronized movements and speech create an almost hypnotic effect, their identical features and coordinated outfits adding to the surreal nature of the encounter. The Cuckoos stand ready, awaiting Nate's response with a mix of curiosity and confidence, their hive mind working seamlessly to analyze and react to the situation.
- X-Man has posed:
X-Man turns at the tap from Esme and then looks over, seeing the pretty girl asking him a question and then directing to an identical sister and then turning back to Esme, smiling lopsidely as he considers the girls as Phoebe adds the 'Making us think the same thing', before they speak in unison and mmmms, "Can't say this was what I was thinking would happen when I woke up today," he says softly and then adds, "Hive mind is different, as you seem too unique to be duplicates, and I am getting different psychic traces off each of you."
"But in answer to your question," he answers and smiles at the idea of him having a significant other, "No, all single," he agrees and nods. "NEw to... town so don't know too many people yet."
- Stepford Cuckoos has posed:
The sisters tilt their heads slightly, their movements synchronized as they focus on Nate. In a singular voice, they say, "Yes, we picked up that you are a telepath as well. And we are Five-In-One, that is a correct assumption. Let us introduce ourselves."<br><br>One by one, each sister steps forward. "I'm Phoebe," the first says, her tone confident.<br><br>"I'm Esme," follows the second, her voice carrying a hint of authority.<br><br>"I'm Sophie," the third introduces, her tone measured and calm.<br><br>"I'm Irma," the fourth says gently, her expression soft.<br><br>"And I'm Celeste," the fifth concludes, her voice mature and assured.<br><br>Together, they say in unison, "We are the Frost sisters. Known around school as the Stepford Cuckoos. We don't care about the name, people don't understand us, but we don't care about that either."<br><br>The girls' expressions soften as they eagerly offer, "If you're new, we would love to show you around the school."<br><br>Suddenly, Mindee chimes in with an enthusiastic, "Oh! We're single too!" Her outburst earns a scolding glare from her sisters, their synchronized disapproval almost palpable.<br><br>Recovering quickly, the sisters spread out slightly, creating a formation around Nate. They reach out, each one gently taking hold of either of his arms to hang on if he allows. Their presence is both comforting and slightly overwhelming, a testament to their unique bond and the power of their unity.<br><br>The sisters then begin to converse as if Nate isn't there. "We saw him first," they all say, their voices blending in perfect harmony.<br><br>Mindee quickly follows with, "That means we have dibs!"<br><br>Esme adds, her tone slightly conspiratorial, "While we're not completely sure how this whole boy-girl thing works, I'm pretty sure we have to fight off competition fiercely."<br><br>Irma pipes up enthusiastically, "To the death!"<br><br>The other sisters scold her simultaneously, "No Irma! That is unnecessary. But not off the table."
- X-Man has posed:
X-Man smilrs as he listens to the girls introduce themselves. "You ever see the Sound of Music? Reminds me of the Von Trapp introduction," he says playfully and smiles more. "I would be happy to have you show me around, and trust me I understand people not getting you. You are a mutant, its automatic fear, psychics who can do things with their minds and affect other people's minds it's even worse," he says and chuckles a little, "So, I can understand the name, but wear it as a badge of pride, Stepford was about the perfect women, and Cuckoos for your powerful psychic abilities... Sounds liek a perfect name for pretty psychic.... sisters, I guess the best term for those not in the know."
At the talk of fight to the death, he hmmms and considers, "While that could be entertaining to watch," he says and chuckles, "Especially in something like mud or Jell-o, perhaps...." he pauses and then connects telepathically, "I could treat you like the five parts of one entity that you are and interact with the whole."
- Stepford Cuckoos has posed:
The Stepford Cuckoos' faces light up with amusement at Nate's playful comparison to the Von Trapp family. They exchange glances, their identical smiles reflecting a shared sense of enjoyment.<br><br>Phoebe, the first to react, grins and says, "We love a good musical reference."<br><br>Esme smirks, "And we're definitely more fun than the Von Trapps."<br><br>As Nate continues, their interest in him grows. His understanding of their unique situation and his positive spin on their nickname earns him appreciative looks.<br><br>"We might just start to like that name, after all," Sophie says thoughtfully, her eyes twinkling.<br><br>Irma, ever the romantic, giggles at his comment about the fight to the death. "Jell-o, huh? We might just take you up on that," she teases.<br><br>Celeste steps forward slightly, her expression softening as she listens to his telepathic connection. "We'd like that. It's rare to find someone who can understand us so completely."<br><br>As they start to escort him across the campus grounds, the sisters move with a fluid grace, surrounding Nate and linking arms with him where he allows. Their identical forms and synchronized movements create an almost surreal atmosphere.<br><br>Phoebe grins at Nate. "So, Nate, tell us more about yourself. What brings you to Xavier's School?"<br><br>Esme, not missing a beat, follows up, "And what do you like to do for fun?"<br><br>Sophie, ever the responsible one, inquires, "What's your favorite way to relax after a long day?"<br><br>Irma, with her gentle curiosity, asks, "Do you have any hobbies or passions you're particularly fond of?"<br><br>Finally, Celeste, the mature one, looks at him thoughtfully. "And what do you value most in a relationship?"<br><br>As they walk, their questions flow naturally, their curiosity genuine. The sisters engage with Nate, each taking turns to learn more about him, their interest in him evident as they navigate the campus grounds together. The playful flirting and sincere questions create a dynamic interplay, making it clear that the Stepford Cuckoos are not just a hive mind, but five distinct individuals each seeking to understand and connect with him in their own unique way.
- X-Man has posed:
"Hmmm, a lot of difficult questions there," he replies and smiles, "I mean,m what brings me to the school... well, I guess you could say I'm a legacy, because my mom and dad kinda both went here," he says and smirks at that before adding, "As for the things for fun... Well, I am a bit of a partier, going out to various events, being around people, just embracing life as it is." He then considers the next question, pausing to stroke his chin, "Favorite way to relax, well swimming is one but..." He looks the girls over, "This could be a new way," he adds teasingly, "Hobbies and passions.... well.. too be honest, I wasn't like most kids, I am a forced grown clone," He says, "You'ld probably find out anyway with enough time in my head. Cloned from Scott Summers and JEan Grery by Mister Sinister, who apparently was trying to make the most powerful thing ever... anmd got me."
"So, seek most in a relationship? Honesty, openess, since I'm probably going to detect some insecurities and lying and the like, be openb and just let it out," he says and laughs a little more, "Though maybe saying an Open Relationship isn't the best turn of phrase with Five-In-One, may convey the wrong idea." He smiles and shakes his head, just letting the indiviuals connect as they wish, have their distinct personaliities interplay with each other as he has nothing to hide.
- Stepford Cuckoos has posed:
The Stepford Cuckoos, walking around with Nate on a tour, with two sisters hanging on each arm, and Esme leading the chage, listen intently to Nate's answers, their expressions shifting from curiosity to understanding. Phoebe, ever the bold one, responds first, her tone appreciative. "A legacy, huh? That's pretty cool. Must be interesting to follow in your parents' footsteps."<br><br>Esme smirks, "A partier, embracing life, we can definitely relate to that."<br><br>As Nate continues, Sophie nods thoughtfully. "Swimming is a great way to relax. And," she adds with a playful glint in her eye, "we can be pretty good at helping people unwind."<br><br>When Nate reveals his origin as a forced-grown clone, the sisters exchange glances, their expressions softening with empathy. Irma speaks up gently, "We understand what it's like to be clones. We were created in a lab too, connected as one. It's not always easy, but it's part of who we are."<br><br>As Nate finishes, talking about honesty and openness, Mindee, who has been holding his arm, squeezes it gently and snuggles closer. "We appreciate your honesty, Nate. It's refreshing."<br><br>Phoebe grins, "And you're right about the open relationship term. It does have a different meaning with us."<br><br>Esme adds, "It's only natural for us to want to date another telepath. We'll be prying into your thoughts, so it helps if you can handle that or at least protect your own."<br><br>Sophie, looking thoughtful, says, "We value trust and openness too. Being honest with each other is key."<br><br>Irma, with her gentle smile, adds, "We also like someone who is caring and considerate. Someone who understands our unique situation."<br><br>Celeste, the practical one, concludes, "And it's important for us to have someone who can respect our bond. We are individuals, but we are also one."<br><br>The sisters continue to walk with Nate, their questions now more casual and flirtatious. "What about your favorite music?" asks Phoebe. "We love listening to different genres," she adds with a mischievous grin.<br><br>Esme chimes in, "Do you like to dance? We enjoy a good dance party."<br><br>Sophie, always the composed one, asks, "What's your idea of a perfect date?"<br><br>Irma, ever the romantic, looks up at Nate, her eyes sparkling. "Do you like to read? We love sharing books and stories."<br><br>Celeste, nodding along, asks, "And what's your favorite way to spend a weekend? We enjoy exploring new places and trying new things."<br><br>The girls surround Nate, their presence comforting and a bit overwhelming, their synchronized movements creating an almost hypnotic effect. They laugh and chat, genuinely interested in his answers, their bond making the conversation flow naturally as they continue to escort him across the campus grounds.
- Emma Frost has posed:
If you want to know what the girls will look like in a few years she's walking towards them right now . She's got white heels and a pantsuit of the highest quality, of course, and in her true fashion icon style of hers.. she's got a custom top cut to show off her figure.
her normal royal fur coat over her shoulder as she walks towards the pool, mostly because she felt the minds of her girls .. more agitated than normal, so she came to check on them
Her blue lipstick shimmers " Well now what did my girls catch this time hmmm? ". Nate would feel her mind against his incredibly powerful mind clearly checking him out .. even as she sends .oO He's a cute one girls Oo.

- X-Man has posed:
X-Man hmmms as he walks with the girls, trilting his headd as he takes their questions and nods. "EFavorite music... well, there's the new stuff coming out of Genosha that's pretty good, music from mutants using their abilities," he admits and then chuckles softly, "Dancing is definitely a great thing, even tried my hand at singing for a while with a band," he offers in reply. "Perfect date... well, I think the traditionals like dinner and a movie and then back home or dinner and dancing," He adds, lookiomh to Esme at that, "But always open to try new things. Life is nothing if not experiences."
"Do I like to read? Well... I do enjoy it, though don't get as much time as I might like to just spend with a good book."
"Well, sightseeing is a great way to spend a weekend, getting away from the standard cycles, the same routine and just see the world, any part of it." He offers and smiles as he keeps walking with the girls and then Emma Frrsot coming by to check him out. It doesn't hurt that he was just at the pool swimming so is only dressed in his trunks. As Emma Frost probes again him, he playfully presses back against her probe, seeing what's going on in that head of hers.
- Stepford Cuckoos has posed:
The Cuckoos perk up at Nate's mention of dinner and a date, their interest clearly piqued. Mindee suddenly shouts out, "Let's go to the pet store and play with puppies for a first date!" Her sisters turn to her with a collective pause, their expressions blank for a moment.<br><br>"..."<br><br>In unison, they then say, "That is actually not a terrible idea." They share a brief, synchronized nod.<br><br>Celeste adds thoughtfully, "You can tell a lot about someone with their interaction with dogs." She brushes a stray strand of hair behind her ear, her eyes sparkling with the idea.<br><br>Esme ponders for a moment before replying, "They bring those puppies from mills and keep them caged up, so it's a good thing to visit them and take them out for exercise." She crosses her arms and tilts her head, clearly considering the moral implications.<br><br>As they continue walking, they notice Emma Frost's arrival. Mindee looks a bit shocked and worried, whispering to her sisters while glancing nervously at Emma, "It's Miss Frost! Do you think she's here to try and take him?" She fidgets slightly, her fingers playing with the hem of her bathing suit.<br><br>Phoebe responds, rolling her eyes, "That would be just like her. She's beautiful and ambitious, and just older us." She folds her arms defiantly, her stance protective.<br><br>Irma chimes in with concern, her brows furrowed, "Does that mean we will have to fight her off too?" She looks around anxiously, her fingers tapping a rhythmic pattern on her thigh.<br><br>Esme, always the assertive one, interjects, "That is enough. Don't jump to conclusions. For now, just keep an eye on her." She raises a hand to calm her sisters, her tone firm and decisive.<br><br>With a polite demeanor, Esme turns to greet Emma Frost, her posture straightening. "Good evening, Miss Frost. We're just showing Nate around the grounds." She offers a respectful nod, her expression neutral but respectful.<br><br>Telepathically, the girls reach out to Emma, their thoughts blending seamlessly. .oO(Yes, astoundingly cute. And a telepath, and he is a clone as well. I think we're going to keep him.)Oo.
- X-Man has posed:
"There was a neat trick for a random date that I heard about. Take a coin and decide on a number between 10 and 20 before you leave. Flip it at any turn in the road and then after the set number of flips, you have your date wherever you are," he says and smiles softly, "And yes, dogs are a great reader of humans, and... well, I do see myself in the strays alot," he replies and smiles his smile, it seems prwacticed but it may just be his natural charisma. "I mean... many were seperated from their parents and in the case of the big dogs like Pitbulls and Rotweilers, people misunderstand them and think they're vicious monstyers," He replies and sighs a little to tha. He smiles a little more, acting like he doesn't hear any of the whispered comments from the girls. Though, any of them, or Emma Frost, were to probe to surface thoughts and he's definitely a young red-blooded male for the sort of thoughts that he is thinking given the lovely blonde women he's surrounded with.
- Emma Frost has posed:
The mind that Nate checks out is interested and curious and finds him cute. Thankful for his power, it won't take him long to realize he's looking at a fake image of one of the girls' minds. That Emma not only probed his mind but led him on a merry chase. But given how strong he is, that's not easy
But she chuckles .oO. Don't squeeze him too hard, girls; I've lost many toys that way, Oo. She doesn't seem to want to steal him. If anything, she's rather happy that the girls latched onto him. As a fellow telepath, he seems strong enough to keep the girls out, so they'd have to learn to have a relationship normally .. at least as normal as they can have.
She looks to Nathan "If you plan to hang around my girls. I will be talking to you later " putting that very mom tone.
- Stepford Cuckoos has posed:
The Stepford Cuckoos sense that Emma is not a threat in this case, and their protective demeanor eases into a more daughterly manner. They collectively relax, their synchronized movements becoming softer and more affectionate.<br><br>Telepathically, they assure Emma, .oO(Don't worry, Miss Frost. We're not as strong when we are not in our diamond form, as I am sure you're aware.)Oo.<br><br>Esme steps forward slightly, her tone respectful and warm. "Miss Frost, we'd like you to meet Nate Grey." She offers a slight, respectful nod, her eyes shining with genuine warmth.<br><br>Phoebe grins and adds, "He's a cloned son of Jean and Scott." She folds her arms and tilts her head playfully, her expression confident and proud.<br><br>Sophie continues, "And he's going to date all of us." She brushes a strand of hair behind her ear, her gaze steady and sincere, showing she means every word.<br><br>Irma, with a gentle smile, looks up at Emma. "He's strong, just like us. We think he'll be a good fit." She steps closer to Nate, her hand resting lightly on his arm, a gesture of support and affection.<br><br>Celeste finishes the introduction with a confident nod, "We trust him, and we think you'll approve." She places a hand on Nate's shoulder, her eyes meeting Emma's with a look of assurance.<br><br>Their collective presence remains strong, but there is a newfound warmth in their interactions with Emma, showing their deep respect and affection for her. The girls stand ready, waiting for Emma's response, their bond as a family evident in every gesture and word.
- X-Man has posed:
X-Man nods to Emma and chuckles a little, mostly a bit of self-confidence, but there may be a bit of nervousness given the differences in power among him and her. "Oh, I shall certainly see you later," he agrees and nods as the girls all close around him, just smiling lightly as he looks between the girls and then to Emma.
IF he is listening to the conversation between the women, he doesn't show any notification of it. He just looks over the surroundings and nods a little more. Just smile and nod, look nice.
- Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost SHe laughs brightly." That's not what I meant by squeeze, but alright, dears.. " She winks, "Have fun." She looks to x-man, " Be good to my daughters; they may be clones made from me against our will, but they're still my girls."
to her girls, she speaks with her mind .oO. Don't overshare .. leave some mystery.. Keep the spice going oh and double check anything he tells you to make sure it's not him telling you a line Oo. She glances. "Those bathing suits look good on you girls.. be careful of too much sun, though we burn easily".
- Stepford Cuckoos has posed:
The sisters respond to Nate, the two on his arms speaking up simultaneously, "You'll sit next to us at dinner, right?" Their voices are sweet and inviting. Esme tightens her grip slightly on his arm, while Mindee, on his other side, snuggles closer, her eyes twinkling with excitement.<br><br>Simultaneously, they think to Emma telepathically, .oO(Of course, Miss Frost, we know of your reputation for eating men alive. We can assure you that we aren't hungry in that way. We like pretty things, and he is very pretty. Though we will heed your suggestion about not breaking him.)Oo. Their mental voices carry a blend of respect and humor, their fondness for Emma evident.<br><br>Phoebe grins at Nate, her eyes sparkling with mischief. She playfully flips her hair over her shoulder and says, "Nate, you being a telepath is great. We don't have to always be glued to our phones to talk to you. We can just speak mind to mind." She gives him a wink, her confidence and ease with telepathy clear.<br><br>Esme nods in agreement, her posture relaxed and confident. "It makes everything so much more convenient," she adds, her tone practical yet appreciative. She gently rubs his arm, a casual yet affectionate gesture.<br><br>Sophie, always the composed one, smiles softly. "And intimate. It's like having a private conversation in a crowded room," she says, her gaze steady and sincere. She lightly touches Nate's shoulder, her touch reassuring and warm.<br><br>Irma, with her usual gentle demeanor, smiles warmly. "Plus, it means you can always reach out to us, no matter where you are," she adds, her voice soft and inviting. She brushes a lock of hair from her face, her eyes filled with genuine affection.<br><br>Celeste, with her usual practicality, finishes, "And we can do the same. It's a unique bond that not many can share." She places a hand on Nate's other shoulder, her expression one of thoughtful consideration. Her touch is firm and reassuring, conveying her confidence in their connection.<br><br>Their collective presence around Nate is both comforting and a bit overwhelming, a testament to their unique bond and the strength of their unity. They stand ready, waiting to escort Nate to the next part of their evening, their minds already buzzing with excitement and curiosity.
- X-Man has posed:
X-Man mmms and looks at the girls, smiling a little to them as he hears the comment from her about the girls being her daughters and he nods. "Yes, Miss," he replioes to her and then listens to the girls, considering, "Sounds like it, we'll sit by you two diuring dinner, thne another two elsewhere and things like that," he replies and nods and chuckles a bit more. He then nods a little at the comment of talking around telepathy and thenadds, "OH yes, it definitely sounds like there's quite a lot of benefits for it," he adds and smiles a little more. "All sorts of extra benefits."
- Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost She lifts an eyebrow " You forget I can get past your shields," She says; even the girls need to combine for that.. but she doesn't do that for them.. she knows what they are thinking most of the time anyway, and they aren't the horny young man.
but thier near the entrance to the pool area chatting away . But she moves to one of the girls to give them a hug. "If you need any advice, you come see me " .
- Red has posed:
Alice sighs some as she gets into the pool. She hasn't been there in a long time, especially not in swimwear, but she has put on a red swimsuit, pretty much matching her hair. The only piece of jewlery on her is a slim necklace that hugs her neck with only very little play as she looks for a spot to put down her towel, stopping close to Emma as she gives one of the Cuckoo's a hug.
"Miss Frost," she greets, then nods to the girls and then scans X-man.
- Stepford Cuckoos has posed:
The scene at the pool is one of casual yet slightly tense conversation. Emma Frost, with her commanding presence in a white pantsuit and royal fur coat, stands near Nate Grey and the Stepford Cuckoos. Nate, in his swimming trunks, smiles and nods as he converses with Emma, who seems to be giving him a motherly warning about being respectful towards her "daughters." The Cuckoos, in their stylish bathing suits, look slightly confused at the dynamic between Emma and Nate.<br><br>To someone just arriving at the pool, it would appear as a peculiar gathering. Emma's elegant and authoritative demeanor contrasts with Nate's casual appearance and the Cuckoos' synchronized presence. The pool area, bathed in the warm glow of the setting sun, is serene, with the gentle ripple of water and the distant sounds of laughter from other students adding to the tranquil ambiance. The group near the entrance is engrossed in their conversation, with Emma occasionally glancing protectively at the girls.<br><br>As they listen intently to Emma's words, a redhead named Alice arrives at the pool, greeting Emma with a friendly smile. The Cuckoos, noticing the newcomer, react with mild wariness. One of the girls on Nate's arm tugs a bit more protectively, a childish possessive gesture that underscores their unique bond with Nate. It's not surprising, given their odd sort of 'newness' and the fierce loyalty they share towards those they care about.<br><br>Esme, ever the leader, acknowledges Alice with a measured look and a nod, her eyes briefly assessing the situation before refocusing on Nate.<br><br>The Cuckoos exchange puzzled glances, their identical expressions showing their collective confusion. They listen intently as Emma speaks, and then suddenly, as if a light bulb goes off in their shared mind, they simultaneously get an idea.<br><br>In unison, they turn to Nate, their eyes bright with curiosity. "What's your favorite food?" they ask, their voices harmonizing perfectly. "We could try to make it for you," they add, their expressions shifting from confusion to eager anticipation.<br><br>Phoebe tilts her head slightly, her eyes narrowing in curiosity. Esme smirks, clearly intrigued by the idea. Sophie nods thoughtfully, already considering the logistics. Irma's smile is warm and inviting, while Celeste's practical mind begins to think about how they could pull off the culinary challenge. The synchronized movement and shared excitement of the Cuckoos create an almost hypnotic effect, their identical appearances and coordinated actions adding to the surreal nature of the scene.
- X-Man has posed:
X-Man nods and smiles a little more as he heards the comment about needing Advice and hmms, tilting his head to look at her. "Does that apply to me as well?" he asks, mostly teasingly and then nods quietly. At the appearancve of Alice, his eyes wander off to the newcommer and chuckles a little more, nodding to himself.
When the girls look to him asking about food, he chuckles. "WEll, I'm generally pretty straightforward with a lot of that. Beer and hotwings as sort of a relaxing, partying type of meal, and a food for meal... well, I gues sjust something like steak and potatos," he offers in reply and smiles a little at that, "What about you girls," he offers.
- Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost Would answer for the girls. "Depends on the week, "She says with a chuckle, but the girls might have favorite food for now, but like Emma, their favorite will change over time .
she gives alice a soft hug "hello you.. You've met the girls right?" she looks " alice these are my daughters , girls this is the wonderful girl i hired to make sure I can change my outfit when I feel like it " . She grins. " She's my favorite employee ".
Nathans words would get him one arched eyebrow and ice blue eye's in a cold stare.
- Red has posed:
"I don't think I met them but I think I saw their pictures in the office." Alice answers, offering a little bow, an eyebrow rising at the claim of Emma. "A...almost Misses Frost." she tries to correct to the Cuckoos. "As long as it isn't leather or some exotic substance that is."
- Stepford Cuckoos has posed:
The Cuckoos exchange glances at Nate's response, their identical faces lighting up with a shared idea. In unison, they say, "We like smoothies, even though people would consider it a drink, because you do drink it, but it's just fruit blended up mostly. It's really the best thing ever, and there are so many flavors."<br><br>As they speak, the girls begin to "divide and conquer," seamlessly shifting their attention to different parts of the conversation. Irma and Celeste remain on Nate's arms, their presence comforting and supportive.<br><br>Esme steps forward to respond to Emma, her tone respectful yet confident. "Miss Frost, we appreciate your guidance. We'll be sure to keep things interesting."<br><br>Mindee, taking the lead in conversing with Alice, smiles warmly. "Nice to meet you, Alice. So, you make clothes?"<br><br>When Alice mentions that she makes Emma's clothes, the girls' interest piques. They all turn their attention to her, eyes wide with excitement.<br><br>"You make clothes?!" Phoebe exclaims, her voice filled with enthusiasm.<br><br>"Any kind of clothes?" Sophie adds, her curiosity evident.<br><br>"Can you make us all clothes?"

"Well," He pauses and nods, "I can see about making you some good smoothies," he says and nods, "Granted, that's mostly just put something in a blender, run it until liquid and serve...
