because a little White Queen is needed around here

[skillfullycontrives]

Oh yes, I'm sure this is going to be great fun for both of us, dearie. All of the fascinating people you have bunking down with me in your head-- [ She stops, and a wicked smile crosses her lips. ] Like that Mr. Summers. Cyclops. Now that's one shell that would just be marvelous to crack, wouldn't you agree?

And now let's get down to some business: I don't have time for this. Simple enough for you to understand, I'm sure. I don't care if you think you can manage. I don't want to deal with your indecisiveness. It is ridiculous, bothersome, and headache inducing. And darling, this telepath is the last person you want to become cross because of a headache.

Give your mun a chance, if she doesn't do well, then she can handle the consequences of giving you a headache, Emma.

[skillfullycontrives]

It's not nearly as exciting knowing they have a fighting chance.

[riseuptorule]

Who says she does?

[skillfullycontrives]

She likes to think she has leverage.

[riseuptorule]

Don't they all? Mine thinks she can control me.

It's almost endearing.

[skillfullycontrives]

Oh, if that's how you want to see it. [ She wont argue. Yet.]

[riseuptorule]

Almost. I chose to take joy in watching them struggle as fish out of water.

oh god I'm sorry but asdfjkhsf a Shaw :c

[wecanavenge]

You'd enjoy watching anyone struggle.

C: hi erik

[riseuptorule]

Not just anyone.

I'll just sit here all CCCC: and Erik can be in the corner going >((((

[wecanavenge]

Is there a dividing line for you? That's unexpected.

[skillfullycontrives]

It's life's small pleasures that can have the.most profound effect.

[riseuptorule]

That is an accurate assessment, Emma. I'd think you'd enjoy watching the failure after you've led them to believe they won.

[skillfullycontrives]

Always do, darling.

[riseuptorule]

Like minds, my dear. Like minds. It is why we fight for the same things.

[wedonot]

I'm afraid if your writer wants to do something with you, you're going to have to learn to go along with it.

[skillfullycontrives]

I assume others have already tried to fight against that in the past? [ Because she would hate to not be the one to set that standard. She's a trendsetter, not a trend-follower. ]

[wedonot]

You'd be right. We don't have that much authority when it comes to what they plan on doing with us.

[skillfullycontrives]

Hm, shame. [ For you. ]

[wedonot]

I suppose. [Just you wait and see, Emma.]

Does your writer have plans for you?

[skillfullycontrives]

Just looking for now. But like I pointed out: their indecisiveness is such an annoying flaw.

[wedonot]

I'm sure you'll become accustomed to it.

[skillfullycontrives]

I'm not as easy-going as you may have been led to believe.

[wedonot]

I wouldn't have believed it for a second, Ms. Frost.

[skillfullycontrives]

And I heard you were such a hard man to please, Charles Xavier.

[helpmeguideit]

Your mun does have some fascinating people in her head. Give her a chance, at least.

[skillfullycontrives]

I take it that attitude is all a part of the 'peace and love' you like to practise with the humans?

[helpmeguideit]

It's part of my knowledge that not everyone is out to ruin us.

[skillfullycontrives]

Your optimism is adorable.

[helpmeguideit]

I've heard it called worse things, and it isn't simply optimism. I wouldn't have the optimism if it wasn't at least partly true.

[skillfullycontrives]

Let yourself believe that, then, sugar. Just don't try and force your views on those who aren't nearly as understanding or charming as myself.

You might get hurt.

[helpmeguideit]

You act like I'm deceiving myself, Miss Frost.

I know a thing or two about getting hurt for my beliefs.

[skillfullycontrives]

Small prices to pay, Charles. [ She can call you Charles, right? ]

[helpmeguideit]

[ Guess so. ] After everything, it was a small price. Better me than them. [ He is sincere, and does not want to be thought a martyr. ]

[skillfullycontrives]

[ She can't help but roll her eyes. ] Oh please. Save the saint-like attitude for someone that isn't me.

[helpmeguideit]

I don't have any attitude, Emma. [ Sure, he's bitter, but he's trying not to show it. Or get angry. ] Especially not a saint-like one. Am I so different from you that it is hard to believe that I am sincere?

[wecanavenge]

I didn't know you could get headaches.

[skillfullycontrives]

I believe my body is permitted to at least one flaw, Erik.

[wecanavenge]

Perhaps one.

Anyone giving you a headache deserves what they get. [But he'll be keeping the helmet on around her. B|]

[mutant_phoenix]

Why don’t you give your mun a chance? They probably didn’t mean to give you a headache.

[skillfullycontrives]

Giving them a chance would be more boring than watching the bloody grass grow.

[mutant_phoenix]

Perhaps. However it may be useful to be on the good side of your mun.

[skillfullycontrives]

Hm. I believe I'll stick with my methods.

[changing_mutant]

Well that was a bit harsh wasn’t it?

[skillfullycontrives]

Welcome to the real word, darling.
