Busking About Bushwick
Date of Scene: 24 May 2022
Location: Bushwick <Mutant Town>
Synopsis: Emma helps Hannah to a homeless shelter post chaos.
Cast of Characters: Hannah Montalcini, Emma Frost




Hannah Montalcini has posed:
A lost-looking girl is wandering through Bushwick. Bald, 4'9" and wearing an oversized blood-splattered tattered-sleeved jacket that reaches down to her knees (and possibly nothing else?), she's an odd sight. Especially since that jacket has an anti-mutant slogan spraypainted on the back, which someone appears to have tried to cross out with a different spray can.
Hannah had been directed to find some kind of homeless help around here, she thinks, but in the wake of the anti-FoH attack, things were so confusing and people were so busy, she doesn't recall anyone giving her actual directions.

Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost is heading her way through the streets briskly, going on a quick jog. The blonde pauses as she would come over upon Hannah, glancing over at her, taking in the blood splattered outfit. "Dear, areyou all right?" Emma would advance over on her confidently and try to put on a soothing voice.

Hannah Montalcini has posed:
Hannah Montalcini turns to Emma nervously, keeping her distance - telepathy will reveal that she's recently been through a traumatic event that began with someone approaching her with feigned sympathy, but her mind is oddly hard to read - but she speaks nonetheless. "I was told to go to a homeless shelter but directions were unclear." While timidly eyeing the woman in front of her (is she a model or something?), she fidgets with the tattered end of one of her sleeves; oddly, it looks almost like it was blown off by a heatless explosion.

Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost would evalute the girl, "Poor thing. Let me show you where it is." Emma would go to take her fingers down and over to her phone. "With your permission I'm going to call emergency services. You look like you could be in shock and that you went through a little section of hell."

Hannah Montalcini has posed:
Hannah Montalcini makes a brief attempt at bravado, joking, "You should have seen the other guy." before memories hit her and crush her attempts at joviality. She fights through it, saying, "You have no need to go out of your way - i will find it, i am sure."

Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost would glance, "Well, you're going in completely the wrong direction. That's the way out of this neighborhood if you want to head into Harlem." That was where Bushwick was, right? Emma would sigh. "That's it dear." Her going to dial for emergency services.

Hannah Montalcini has posed:
Hannah Montalcini won't try to stop Emma dialling whoever she wants. Instead, she just looks around, trying to get her bearings... She's beginning to regret not taking advantage of her homelessness to explore the city. When you don't have a fixed place to live, there's no need to stay in one place... except, of course, that moving around means trying to find new places that leave out food and new spots to shelter in, and maybe competing with the locals who have already claimed them... Ok, she has an excuse. But she's still regretting it right now.

Emma Frost has posed:
There's a chime as Emma puts in a call to emergeny services about Hannah's state, "They'll be here in a few minutes and take you in for a medical checkup and then likely the authorities will ask you to give some kind of statement given.." Well, the jacket on her covered in blood no doubt.

Hannah Montalcini has posed:
Hannah Montalcini looks suddenly terrified at the idea. "No! I mean... thank you, but that is not necessary; i am uninjured." And it's true - although her hands have been trembling non-stop, she's physically completely unharmed. She could do with a new jacket, though - that one stinks of its previous owner's BO!

Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost would evaluate the girl, "You seem like you're in shock and you're partially covered in blood. I'm guessing it's not your own. They're not going to keep you anywhere, don't worry. The authorities won't even ask you for a name."

Hannah Montalcini has posed:
Hannah Montalcini shakes her head. "It... has been handled. By professionals, and i can give no more detail than that. I am sorry." She looks at her second-hand jacket. "Not my blood, yes. Hopefully the shelter will have spare clothes."

Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost would nod, "They'll make sure you're all right and then take you to the shelter. If you don't want to say anything to them, then they'll give you a ride over and you can have some food and clean clothes there."

Hannah Montalcini has posed:
Maybe it's a shame Emma's too polite to just casually read minds; Hannah's not particularly trusting right now. "Thank you, but i would prefer to walk." She's uneasy with being accompanied by anyone she doesn't know, and really, really doesn't want to get in a vehicle with them. She's made that mistake before.
As though to emphasise her point, she starts to walk back the way she came; maybe she missed the shelter on the way here?
