Iceman has posed:
Sitting on the big plush couch, Bobby currently has on a headset and a controller in his hands as he is currently in full concentration mode. His tongue pokes out of the side of his mouth, and he's one of those people that likes to jerk the controller in whatever direction that he's going in.

"I got you now.. come on, almost.." he mutters as he works his little character around on the screen, trying to manuveur the virtual him into a position to try to get a kill, but seems to be having a devil of a time at the moment.

He's currently dressed down into a pair of sweat pants and Property of Xavier's t-shirt, both well maintained, while his feet are only clad in socks.

Jubilee has posed:
It's almost the afternoon and Jubilee has found herself down in the rec room tooling about on a pinball machine. She's not very good at it, but she is making the most of one quarter. Her fingers tap along the paddles, watching the silver ball bounce around and deliver her points. Once the final ball falls to it's doom, she gives the machine a bump of her hip. Turning around, she looks over to Bobby, then lobs a paff at the back of his head. Pop-cracka-pop! She is looking to distract him.

Iceman has posed:
"Aha, now I have you!" Bobby crows enthusiastically as he finds himself in position to get the drop on his quarry. And he was totally preparing to get in and get the kill and even claim some dogtags when suddenly there's a small *PAFF* near his face as he's sniped in real life. "AUGH! Hey!" he calls out.

And that's when his character is grabbed and killed and the other character on the screen starts bobbing up in down in a teabag.

And on the private message, there comes: > to ProfSnoCone: Git Gud.

Turning around towards where Jubilee is, he glares mock daggers at her. "Oh, is that how we're playing?" he asks with a smrik, before forming a small snowball and flicking it at the explosive mutant as he moves to get off the couch.

Jubilee has posed:
There's an innocent look upon Jubilee's face as her shoulders rise upwards. "Ooh. Looks like you may need to get that controller looked at. I think it has a spark." Her lips twitch upwards, then lets out a loud yelp as she is struck by a snowball. "Bobby! C'mon! That's freaking cold man." Literally. Pun intended. She gives a few tugs of her shirt to loosen off the frost, then gives him a long, competitive stare. "Don't make me detonate your underwear off." She says as her fingers give a wiggle as colors of light dance about.

Iceman has posed:
Bobby's eyes trail where the snowball fit. "That's a bit of an escalation, don't you think?" he asks, a blush coming to his cheeks before he smirks at her. His own hands play with the ice between them as he finds himself staring at the woman and he bites down on his lip.

Jubilee has posed:
One can almost here the old Western whistle in the air. Tick-Tock. Tick-Tock. It's almost high noon. The firecracker and the snowball face off with each other in the rec room, staring each other down. Jubilee smirks as she gives a shake of her hand out, letting the colors fade away. "Maybe in the danger room. I'm not getting another talking to by Jean again. She needs a vacation from me."

Iceman has posed:
"Fine. We'll settle this in the danger room." Bobby agrees readily as he pushes himself to his feet and shakes his hands out to dismiss the ice. "Ten paces and fire. Better wear your thermals, Jubilation. It's gonna be a cold time in the city tonight." he drawls as he starts towards the door brushing by the woman on his way out with a little shoulder bump.

Jubilee has posed:
Giving his shoulder a shove forward out the door, Jubilee raises her brows upwards. "You itching for a fight or something today? What got up your butt?" She asks as she tugs her pink shades down upon her face, followed by a ruffling of her spikey chopped hair with a fingerless gloved hand. "You even cleared to throw down with your shoulder situation?"

Iceman has posed:
Shoved out the door, he turns towards her and Bobby raises a brow. "Nothing's up my butt.." he pauses, confusion coloring his features for several moments, before he suddenly blinks, and he realizes. "...I thought you were trying to get my attention." he finally says, a crestfallen shrug hitting his shoulders, and then glances at his shoulder. "Noone's told me not to use it yet, Jubilee. I'm assuming that it's good to go. Look, if you weren't.. I.. yeah." he glances to the side and laughs.

Jubilee has posed:
"Trying to get your attention? Whatcha mean?" Jubes asks as she heads down the hallway as her usual confident swagger. "I did throw a paf at your head. I guess I was trying to at least rattle your ice cubes." Her lips tug back into a smirk. As they find the coat rack, she snags her half trench and flips it over her body so that now she's in full 'uniform' so to speak.

Iceman has posed:
"It's nothing. Dumb." Bobby says as he walks with Jubilee down the hallway and reaches up to push at his brunette hair. "And you can rattle my cubes as much as you want, Sparkler." he comments to her, a slight glance aside to her as he settles out of a slouch.

Jubilee has posed:
"C'mon dude, it's not dumb. Just spit it out." Jubilee says as she turns to walk backwards, facing him as she peers over the top of her shades at him.

Iceman has posed:
Bobby pauses in the hallway and settles his arms over his chest. "Okay. You told me that if I wanted, I should have just flat out ask you out. And then today." he laughs a little. "I thought you were flirting with me, Jubes. And I was trying to flirt back - and sucking pretty bad at it if I pissed you off." he finally says with a shake of his head.

Jubilee has posed:
Raising her brows up higher into her dark hair, Jubilee pauses, then lets out a loud laugh. "Bobby, you /ever/ see me flirt with any guy? I don't even know how." She tips her lips upwards into a bit of a grin, eyes rolling upwards and to the side. "It's also impossible to piss me off. Being mad is a waste of energy and time." She spins on her heels to face forward again. "You were really flirting with me?"

Iceman has posed:
When she laughs, Bobby tries to find his own laugh, and then he shrugs his shoulders in a helpless fashion as he finds himself facing the woman again and then cocks his lips into a half-smile. "Only because I thought you started it." he offers lamely as he starts to try to walk past her, with their good-natured shoulder chucking, but this time it's more of a half-hearted effort as he feels like he should do /something/ but get a clearly confused look.

Jubilee has posed:
"Oh. So .. you weren't flirting with me because /you/ actually wanted to. Gotcha. I see. You were pity-flirting." Jubilee says as he walks past her again. "Just kinda tossing me a flirt cuz' you think I needed one." She is all teasing now as she follows after him. She checks him back with her shoulder. "You doing okay though Bobbo?"

Iceman has posed:
"No, I was flirting with you because you're cute and dammit, Jubes, I have no idea what I should do - the last think I want to do is pity anyone. Especially someone that totally doesn't need a pity.. anything." Bobby's eyes flash in momentary anger, before he turns to face her, and then he studies her eyes. "I wanted to flirt with you - I was reciprocating what I thought was interest, but my signals on that front live in a constant screwed up state." He studies her face and draws in a breath.

Jubilee has posed:
Sobering up a bit, Jubilee reaches out and gives him a light poke in the stomach. "Bobby, I wouldn't be flirting with you after you told me you had a broken heart and all and you were still hung up on Lorna. I wouldn't wanna mess with you like that, you know? You also don't need a rebound situation. Right? Maaaaybe.. give it a few weeks?" She says, clearing her throat. "And I'll probably be available for a movie. An action movie. With popcorn.. followed by corndogs after.."

Iceman has posed:
"Yeah. I know. It's dumb." Bobby shrugs his shoulders, then blinks. "We'll see." he finally agrees with her, before laughing a little. "Sorry, I'm completely screwed up." Reaching up to tap on his head, he laughs lightly. "Alright. A few weeks."

Jubilee has posed:
"You're not screwed up. You're just a dumb boy." Jubilee says with a grin. "Just don't sweat that stuff. Having a girlfriend isn't like leveling up in life or something. Just have fun and do your thing. You're cute, I'm sure when it's time, you'll know. Just be yourself, snowball."

Iceman has posed:
"Wasn't looking to level up. Was just looking to you know, chill out with someone that wants to spend time with me." Bobby finally says with a laugh. "Lorna has.. Genosha and that whole thing to deal with, and I'm not sure I'd ever fit into that. And you're so not a rebound. You're cute, and you'd be a lot of fun to be around, Jubilation." He gives a little laugh, "Don't know, you may not want to put up with me after a few days."

Jubilee has posed:
"Yeah, yeah, I'm cute and I'm fun to be around. I know. It's obvious that I embody all of those adjectives." Jubilee says as she makes her way down to the lower levels to where the Danger Room awaits. She taps in her security clearance code, then steps inside with a long stretch to loosen herself up. "C'mon, let's get sweaty and then find some lunch. I could use the workout and you could use the butt kicking."

Iceman has posed:
There's a laugh, before Bobby smirks at Jubilee. "Sure sure, firework. And just like a sparkler, you tend to start off great and then burn out. Let's see if I can wear you down a little." he says as he raises his hands to encoat himself within his ice. "And lunch sounds great. Want to go somewhere?"

Jubilee has posed:
"Yup. I wanna get corndogs. Cuz' now they're on my mind." And with that, Jubilee sets the tone of combat with a bright flash of light, followed by a stream of fireworks that rain down upon him after flicking her shades down again over her eyes. Even though her poppers don't really do a lot of damage outside of being annoying, it's still fun to dance about and cut loose with a friend.
