[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 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.
