[At this point, people who were not previously familiar with her might start to realize that any time Emma Frost showed up somewhere, trouble was sure to follow. And this time, she seemed dressed to a more formal kind of trouble...]

Hello, darlings. I know you've all been working very hard, stepping up your training. I am especially proud of my Hellions. All those new X-Teams forming, keeping your chins up in the face of an uncertain future, it's all very inspiring...

... But doesn't it get a bit dull after awhile? Have we forgotten lately where we are? These are supposed to be your best years. It's spring, darlings. That means the most important event of your young lives is coming up.

I'm talking about Prom, darlings.

Don't you worry your pretty heads about the event itself. I've got it all planned out. We'll be having it on the last Saturday of April. And as for formal attire, I've covered that as well. The local tailors in Salem Center, as well as my good friend Feliks, will be more than happy to help you all.

So, I hope that announcement gives you something to look forward to besides getting all sweaty in the Danger Room... Ciao, darlings~

[See what we mean? Trouble. Nothin but trouble.]

[She perks up visibly at the mention of that.]

Oh -- yes, I think it went very well! A lot of people were interested, so I hope we can do more things like that in the future...

I'm glad to hear that, darling. Philanthropy is quite rewarding.

[martyrerkomplex]

It's nice to get everyone working together like that, and to be able to give back.

[And it feeds right into the way she desperately wants people to see her.]

[diamonds_forever]

You'll could make a good team leader, too.

[martyrerkomplex]

[Her eyes go a little wide, and she shakes her head, a little red in the cheeks.]

Me? Oh -- oh, that's really kind, but I don't really think I'm, um, the leader type...

[She doesn't actually doubt her capability much. It's more that a Good Girl shouldn't be too presumptuous, even if she's strong and kind and brave, and she's trying hard to embody that ideal.]

[diamonds_forever]

If you hadn't already shown the potential, I wouldn't have said anything. Plus abilities like yours are excellent for moral, wouldn't you agree?

[martyrerkomplex]

I don't really know if I could use them on just anyone.

[That's a straight-up lie. She's getting slowly more and more used to using them when it's convenient -- almost entirely without anyone ever knowing. It helps them, anyway, doesn't it?]

[diamonds_forever]

Then you'd just have to be extra selective of your teammates.

[martyrerkomplex]

I try not to get... out of control with it, Miss Frost.
