Hello Emma
Date of Scene: 26 September 2017
Location: Unknown
Synopsis: Summary needed
Cast of Characters: Wonder Woman, Troia, Emma Frost




Wonder Woman has posed:
Diana had wanted Donna to take on a more public presence when she wasn't traveling. So, as sisters often do... she poked her nose where it possibly didn't belong and was seeing about getting Donna setup with a job that she felt might help her beloved twin have something more to be proud of. Her heart was in the right place, whether or not Donna appreciated the place it was in was another matter!

They arrived via a Themysciran Embassy sedan and parked in the visitor section at Emma Frost's school. Diana exited the vehicle, dressed in a business casual attire, and she had sunglasses on over her eyes as it was mid afternoon.

"Even if you do not want to take on the job, at least the chance to look at it... could be fun?" She said over to Donna who she'd gone to pick up from her Midtown Manhattan apartment.

Troia has posed:
Donna Troy rode along with Diana with a mixture of apprehension and confusion on her face. It wasn't often that Diana would spring things like this on her. But she knew her sister had good intentions so how could she be upset?

Glancing out the window to watch the city flow past, she turned to look at her sister with a smile. "I'll give this a fair chance, Di. You're trying to help me. And I appreciate it. You know I do." It's just that Donna never seems to get out from Diana's shadow. Diana is the bright beacon of hope and power. Donna is usually more 'Oh, it's just Wonder Woman's sister!' or so it seemed. Amazons were raised to be proud of their accomplishments and so far Donna felt she wasn't accomplishing anything without Diana directly helping. So it was a little bit of a pride and ego thing. She should be able to find her own gainful employment. Right?

She reached over to squeeze Diana's hand, "Until I know what the offer is, I am not making any sort of decision. But this is like the blind date you arranged for me that time. I'm somewhat uneasy because I don't know what to expect. That's all." She smiles. "But let's go see. Ms. Frost has an amazing reputation."

Emma Frost has posed:
    The Frost International Building and thus the Academy of Tomorrow facilities aren't much more than a block or two away from the Embassy, so that is a plus for the woman seeking employment. The building rises tall into the sky with the parking garage housed underneath the ground but there's a few select spots that have been carved out into the street level area for visitors and VIPs. This is where the Themyscrian embassy vehicle can park.

    There's a well dressed man with a dark complexion waiting on the sidewalk, his hands clasped at his waist and he smiles a practiced smile to the occupants of the car after lowering his hands and checking his watch. Richard walks up to the side of the car and opens it as soon as the car is in park.

    "Welcome to Frost International." Says Richard with a deep voice and a hand extended slightly to help Diana and then Donna out of the car. "Ms. Frost is waiting for us in her office. I will be showing you the way, if you'll follow me." He's polite, but in a very practiced, robotic manner as it's not his regular personality but one he has to have for work.

Wonder Woman has posed:
Diana would smile to her sister, a wordless 'thanks' for doing this and humoring her at the very least.

When the man approached their vehicle and helped them both from it, she accepted the help out of courtesy and would offer a wide and friendly smile to the man. "Why thank you!" She told him in her Greek accented voice.

"I have had the pleasure of briefly visiting here this past summer. You have a wonderful facility here, I am happy to get to see it again." She would tell the man, then give another look over to Donna.

Diana would follow the man where he'd lead and she'd make light conversation and complimentary statements about the grounds along the way. She was in a good mood on this great afternoon!

Troia has posed:
Donna Troy got out after her sister, dressed smartly in a blue silk blouse and black skirt just above her knees. She smiles to her sister and then to Richard. "Thank you. It's a very impressive building." She fell in a step behind her sister as they went inside the building and toward their final destination. She too makes pleasant conversation as they move deeper itno the building.

Emma Frost has posed:
    Richard leads the two women to the elevators and stops on the second floor to show them the tour of the facilities and offices that are related to the school, going in a scheduled circle around the carpeted floor before arriving back at the elevator and going up towards the executive floors.

    On the way he continues to tell them about the facilities and the goals of the company as well as how the stocks are rising. Sounding like a pitch for the stockholders, but that's what he's been requested to learn and speak about.

    As the elevator dings and they're on the floor with Emma's office he steps aside gesturing the two women towards the large circular secretary desk with a flamboyant young man doing his nails who doesn't even look up at the two Themyscrians an motions them in with the hand he's holding the nail file in.

    The double doors open into Emma's office and she is sitting there at her desk seemingly a long way from the door but the almost sterile looking room makes the gap look bigger. "Hello." She greets as she stands and moves around her desk to greet the two powerful women.

Wonder Woman has posed:
Diana would give grins to her sister here and there as they were lead about the grounds and shown the points of interest that Richard was trained to show off. "I love it." Diana said to him after seeing all of it. "Advancing the quality of educating our youth is a passion project of mine." She'd add to the man.

The receptionist with his frantic nail filing got a big smile out of the Princess as well, she wasn't sure if the man was too nervous to look at she and Donna or if he was so lost in his own world that he didn't even knwo they were there... either way, she found it amusing and fun.

When brought into Emma's office though, Diana would move forward to greet the woman - not really paying much heed to the sterile enviroment of the office - Diana reached out a hand toward Emma. "Hello to you as well, Miss Frost." Diana said back at her with a hint of a grin.

Troia has posed:
Donna Troy walked along and nodded in agreement with Diana's assessments. In the office she smiled toward Ms. Frost nd let Diana greet first. She looked about the room; it might be somewhat spartan but it was spartan with taste and deliberate design which she could appreciate. Then to Emma she smiled and offered her hand, "Ms. Frost. It's a pleasure to meet you. Donna Troy." The family resemblance was certainly strong between the two Amazons. Like looking into mirror images of the other.

Emma Frost has posed:
    "Pleasure to meet you both, I am a fan of both of your works." Emma says, her face with a pleasant smile as she shakes both of their hands and then turns back to her desk and with a motion of her hand, offers them both a seat at the two guest chairs before her desk.

    "So, Donna, your sister has told me much about you and I am very curious to hear it from you directly." Emma moves to sit down and scoots her chair forward once, placing her wrists on the edge of her glass desk.

    "What do you think you can do for Frost International?"

Wonder Woman has posed:
Diana would shake the hand and then move to the leftmost chair and she smoothed out her skirt behind her thighs before settling down onto the edge of the chair with her posture remaining upright and rigid, hands going to the tops of her thighs. "I love your facility here. It is very beautiful and your employees seem to be... happy to be here." She said with a sly grin before looking to her right when Donna is directly spoken to.

Diana would remain quiet, naturally, and allow her sister to speak... assuming this is the part where Donna gets a bit wide-eyed at being put under a spotlight, of sorts.

Troia has posed:
Donna Troy shakes the hand and moves to sit. She smiles and nods in agreement with Diana's assessment of the building. "It is very impressive." She then smiles, nonplussed by the direct question. She doesn't wilt nor does she hesitate as she replies, "I'm a graduate of SUNY: FIT with a major in photography and a minor in photo journalism. A photobook about a recent trip I took to Africa is soon to be published with the help of Bishop Publishing." She casually name drops the last as she pauses to let Emma respond or react before continuing.

Emma Frost has posed:
    Emma lifts a single eyebrow towards Donna and then her gaze drifts over to Diana before looking back at Donna, still waiting for her to really answer the quesiton that was asked.

    Emma keeps her wrists on her desk and she leans back into her chair just a bit to look as if she was starting to lose interest in the women before her. She hasn't but she's the one negotiating from a position of power. Or so she thinks.

    Emma then gives a follow up question, "What is it you would like to do here at Frost International?"

Wonder Woman has posed:
Diana would smile at her sister's rundown of her credentials and would simply offer a soft nod of her head while turning her blue eyes back to Emma. "The photos from her trip are quite impressive. Far better than any I took on a similar trip. Mine always have an uncanny ability turn out blurry... or with my finger over the lense." She said these words softly with a small grin before glancing back to Donna when the woman across from them asked another question.

Troia has posed:
Donna Troy smiles, suppressing the urge to laugh at her sister's misfortune with cameras before looking back to the blonde businesswoman. "I have an eye for the small and obscure details while working on projects. I can manage time and resources and bring a fresh perspective to the company's advertising division. The last six ad campaigns Frost International has run have all be very good. They each had strong messages that were clearly conveyed. But I would have focused more on the personal connections your products and services bring to your customers. No one wants to feel like a number or a sheep being herded along. A little compassion and empathy goes a long way for any company to maintain good PR with its customer base." She looks at Emma, not blinking or turning away. Confident in her reply and what she said.

Emma Frost has posed:
    Emma's lips curl briefly at Diana's misfortune with technology, sounding like an extremely old woman on face book, but even beyond that, Emma's impressed with Donna's answer.

    "Would you be willing to teach a photography class as a suplement to your working on the PR team? We like to promote from within and the community that is Frost International." Emma says, meaning she'd be grooming her own replacement as soon as she started.

Wonder Woman has posed:
Diana would just remain quiet and let the other two speak. She knew Emma Frost well enough to knwo that the woman was most entirely all about business and not at all as 'light hearted' as she was when in good moods, which was fine... of course... everyone had different personalities in this world.

Diana's blue eyes would look over to her mirrored-sibling and she'd smile softly at her answer before turning those eyes over and up to Emma.

Now was not her place to speak, doing so would only be a distraction from the topic at hand.

Troia has posed:
Donna Troy doesn't falter as she looks at Emma. She's faced so many unspeakable things, so many battles that this? It might be a blind job interview but it isn't going to bring the world to an end if she fails to get a job. She smiles at the question however, "I would be. Photography is an art form. Like painting. Anyone can pick up a brush and put oil to canvas. But to master the artform takes time and practice. Not everyone is going to become a master. There are far better photographers than I in the world. But to find the joy in it? Everyone can do that. And that would please me to share with others, absolutely."

Emma Frost has posed:
    "Very well then." Emma says contentedly as she pushes up from her chair and expects the two foreigners to stand with her as she walks around the desk and comes to shake Donna's hand, "It was a short meeting yes, but I have a lot to do today. I will be in touch with you shortly." Emma says with a smile before turning her hand and attention to Diana and smiles a bit more genuinely. "How about we get some dinner and catch up sometime soon?" Emma inquires, maybe that's a good sign for Donna, or maybe she just likes to know the powerful people in the world, it's awfully hard to tell the two apart.

    Emma starts to walk towards the double doors and they open inwardly automatically as the trio would approach. "Have a good day and we'll be in touch Donna."
