[And onto the screen or tablet or phone flickers a woman that might be familiar to some, but certainly not to all. She gives the camera a flirtatious smirk before she speaks. Hoo boy...

... Here comes trouble.]

Hello darlings~

For those of you who don't know my face, shame on you, you should get out more. I'm Emma Frost, and I used to teach here. I've been asked by Ororo [Please don't use their familiar names on the network, Emma] and Charlie [Emma] to take some time off from my old school to come here and help get some of that old Xavier's School Spirit going.

And with the upcoming holiday, I know just the thing to lift those hearts of yours up and get them fluttering.

I'm organizing a charity Date Auction among the students and faculty. Don't thank me just yet, since I know most of you only get to use school stipends for money. No worries. My trust will take care of it, so don't let that stop you from having a good time~

Anyways, darlings, I'm sure you have lots of questions. I'll go ahead and answer two; yes they're real and no, I'm not up for auction. Anyone else?

[Oh lord...]

Not up for auction? That's a pity, that could be an interesting bidding war. [Raiko.]

But I do have a serious question: Where are the signups, and if you're part of the auction, can you still bid on other people? [She'd do it anyway, but she might as well clear the air with it.]

[diamonds_forever]

Darling, it'd be more than just a bidding war with some of these fellas.

As for your questions, the sign-ups will be online. I'll post them to the school website shortly. And of course you can bid on others. The more, the merrier, and hey, it's for charity, right?

[primordialbeat]

Haha, that's what would make it interesting! [See? SMOOTHLY NOT MEANING WHAT IT SEEMS SHE MEANT... no but really she is a lvl 99 Flirt and she means it in every way.]

Of course! I just wanted to make sure it was within the rules; I don't want to overstep any bounds, especially when it's not my money, right? I'll look forward to the signups, then.

[diamonds_forever]

Watching boys fight over you loses it's luster after awhile.

[primordialbeat]

You could always broaden the horizons and watch girls fight over you, too? If nothing else, it'll change the tactics the boys have to use. Maybe they'll get more creative.

[diamonds_forever]

I am struggling to imagine a reality where that's any less dull.

[primordialbeat]

Well if it's going to happen no matter what you do, why not at least amuse yourself with it?

[diamonds_forever]

Because the 'amuse' factor is missing, hon.

[primordialbeat]

Hm. Well, I suppose that is the limit I'll allow myself to keep going here. [She could keep this banter up all night though.] Thank you for the information, Miss Frost.

[diamonds_forever]

Not for nothing, darling, but your game needs work. It might work on your underclassmen, but I'm a bit out of your league at the moment. Nice try, though.

[primordialbeat]

Hey now! [She doesn't sound offended in the least.] I'm not even trying.

[diamonds_forever]

Oh?

In that case, humor me.

Try.

[primordialbeat]

Hey, I never said I wanted to, either! [She laughs, holding up a hand to wave it in the 'woah slow down' motion.]

No, you're right, I'm in over my head like this. Besides, you said yourself it's not interesting for you anymore, so why should I want to push it? I'd rather not be considered part of the droll masses.

[diamonds_forever]

Oh? Giving up then? After that last statement, that's a little disappointing.

[primordialbeat]

[Grin] Maybe I'm hiding a secret weapon, and don't want anyone to know about it!

[Less grin.] ... Or, maybe, I prefer to stop when it's obvious I'm not going to get very far, before things get potentially uncomfortable. My ego will survive, and I'm not in the business of pushing boundaries too far.

[diamonds_forever]

[She gives an honest laugh] You win points for that, at least. Most guys never know when to quit.

Got a name, darling?

[primordialbeat]

The point is to make people feel appreciated, not like they need to run for the pepper spray. And my name's Raiko. Horikawa Raiko.

Er, Raiko Horikawa, in the Western way.

[diamonds_forever]

Raiko, huh?

That's a name I'll have to commit to memory...

[primordialbeat]

Oh? Should I be worried?

[diamonds_forever]

Well, if you ask any of the other X-Men here, they'll probably all agree that I'm mostly trouble.

[primordialbeat]

Ohhh. Well, I'll see if I regret it later.

[diamonds_forever]

Hopefully not too much later. I'm only here for the month, after all.

[primordialbeat]

Guess time will tell.
