Sharon Smith has posed:
Sharon Smith was caught 'playing.' Her hands on the wheel of Scott's car, buzzing her lips and going "Vroom Vroom" while she twisted the wheel. The purple haired girl looked thorougly entertained, despite the vehicle not going anywhere. Luckily, she didn't have a key and didn't seem to be doing any substantial damage, but Cyclops should have known better than to leave his sun-roof open

Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost is coming into the garage. Her latest model of Bentley limousine has been upgraded over with an automatic driver. Which means no having to bother with her driver or remembering if she has to tip them or not. As it goes to pull in over to the garage, she goes to stertch out as the vehicle goes to an open parking space. Now, if the vehicle survives.. She should have checked to see if shop class was on or not first today.
    Coming in right as Sharon seems to be working the stick. Getting out of her car as it would pull in, "Greetings, Sharon. How goes learning to fly?"

Marie-Ange Colbert has posed:
Marie had seen Sharon skulking off on her way to the garage, and, well, The girl had a habit of getting into the most unusual things. Sometimes fun, sometimes getting in over her head... so Marie followed along to find out exactly what would be going on this time.

Coming in from the door to the foyer, she gets a perfect spectator view of the hijinx in progress, raising a hand to hide a few giggles that try to escape. "Are you having fun, Sharon?" she asks after a moment, also reaching a hand out to wave a greeting to Emma.

Sharon Smith has posed:
Sharon Smith froze suddenly as she spotted Emma. She had the same wide-eyed look of a car thief being pulled over, with tense shoulders and a white knuckled grip on the steering wheel. Still, she played off the awkward moment by claiming "I am the best pilot." she stated proudly. She carefully gathered what clothes were left in the passenger's seat beside her before making her way back out of the sun-roof. There was a door, but the sun-roof was open. "No... it doesn't go anywhere" she huffed as she sat on the hood of Scott's car to pull on her gathered mess of clothing. It wasn't that Catseye was naked or anything, she simply wasn't 'layered' enough. It was unlikely that any of these clothes were hers, considering the odd variety of sizes and colors. In the end, they all ended up 'on' her, as she took up the fashion of a 'walking clothes hamper.'

Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost would smile over at Marie-Ange, "Yes, she does look like she is. And have you figured out where you want o go with it? Or are you looking to get in some driving lessons?" She can always buy Scott another motorcycle if he complains on it. This sort of thing is hilarious.

And glancing over at Catseye on the hood, "That might not be the most comfortable place to sit, even if you are the best pilot Sharon. The seats are probably much moreso." Where exactly Sharon -got- all her outfit pieces from was an eternal mystery.

Marie-Ange Colbert has posed:
Marie purses her lips thoughtfully at Emma's words. "...perhaps learning to drive would be a wise idea." She's almost twenty-one, after all. The time that most start learning has long passed, and Uber drivers haven't always been the most reliable by any means. "Oui, I think I would like that, if it would not be too much trouble for you?"

Glancing over towards Sharon, the corner of her lips quirk upwards. "Plus, I think Sharon has somewhere in mind she might like to go... once someone finds a working set of keys." She at least knows that about cars!

Sharon Smith has posed:
Sharon Smith looked back at the seats of Scott's car, her lips pursing as she considered her return to the more comfortable driver's seat. She draped back on the hood instead, and claimed. "I'm comfortable" in mild, seat protest. Her hands folded over her belly as she lounged.

"The moon" she claimed ridiculously. Obviously she didn't think an electric car could go to the moon, her sheepish smirk easily betraying her. "Twenty-one? Do you think I'm that old?" she asked curiously. "I should be flying!" she quickly agreed.

Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost would go to watch over at Sharon, "I suppose if she truly wants to, she can." Emma has her doubts on it mind. But Sharon did what she wished to. IF the girl decided she did, she was by far smart enough to learn how. Emma was well aware of how intelligent she was.

"Perhaps you could help her learn if she does wish, Marie-Ange. YOu have your own liscence, correct? Or are you thinking of working one?" No comment on Sharon flying.

Marie-Ange Colbert has posed:
"Would the moon not be lonely, though? It does not appear that there is... anyone there." Marie's knowledge of lunar cultures is decidedly limited, after all. She doesn't doubt Sharon's ability to do something if she really puts her mind to it, though.

Emma gets a little shake of her head. "Non, I do not." she admits, "Jennifer told me that in New York, you did not need a license, because of taxis, and Ubers, and other things.... but I find sometimes I do wish I had one."

Sharon Smith has posed:
Sharon Smith sprawled, taking up as much of the car hood as she could. "It would be mine." she proudly stated, looking up at the garage ceiling as though she could pierce through the concrete and actually see the moon.

"See... I don't need a license. I can drive a taxi." she claimed, twisting Marie's logic to the worst possible conclusion. Still... 'Cat Cab' had a ring to it.

Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost would nod, "Yes, it can be rather trying over in the city sometime and there can't be much need." Even Emma got enraged sometimes at the traffic of the city despite being nearly all powerful thanks to being supremely rich.

"Yes, you driving a taxi would be.." Entertaining? Probably more like carmageddeon.

Marie-Ange Colbert has posed:
"Well, yes... but would you not miss us, up there?" Marie asks -- realizing almost instantly that she might have stuck her foot in her mouth, but while her precognition might help her see things in advance... it also required the active usage of her cards. Not exactly in play at the moment.

"True, anyone can drive a taxi." Marie admits, "Only the person behind the wheel needs a license." The 'driver', technically, is the passenger afterall! "...though, sometimes the taxi does not know where to go." Which is her main problem with them!

Sharon Smith has posed:
Sharon Smith wrinkled her nose. "I know where I am going" she stated with a huff. "Taxi to the moon" she claimed, waving her hand in the air in display, as though painting a sign with her fingers. "What would I miss?" she asked, clearly wanting to be bribed before she admitted to missing anyone on planet Earth.

Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost would consider over, "I suppose there's a song about that." Taxi to the Moon could very well be an act by the Beatles after all. She would watch over to Marie-Ange. "Isn't that something that the cards can tell you? You could work with her. SHe could drive, you could tell directions."

Marie-Ange Colbert has posed:
Marie nods, "It is something they can tell me... but they will tell me how to get where we need to be, not necessarily where we /wish/ to be," ...so directions to the moon, unless fate actively requires it? Would be tricky to say the least. "But if she wished, I certainly would assist her in such a way."

As for what Sharon would miss? Marie considers, "...new clothes? Delicious sweets? Fresh fish?" Once the lake unfreezes; they've made that mistake already!

Sharon Smith has posed:
Sharon Smith sat up quickly. "Alright!" she beamed, holding out a hand as though expecting everything Marie listed to be on-hand and ready to give out. That pale hand was going to be empty for a while. Even if it was a cute, small black paw, it was unlikely Marie had all three on hand right that moment.

Emma Frost has posed:
There'sa twitch of Emma's lips upwards in amusement, "Well, that's still a rather large improvement oer normal taxi service, isn't it?" She would watch over at the duo. "And you did say that she would miss them.. YOu might have to show them to her to help ensure she knows what it would be."

Marie-Ange Colbert has posed:
This time, she might've seen it coming. Marie lifts and bends one of her legs, grabbing one of her shoes and slipping it off. Then, her free hand goes digging into her purse in order to withdraw a small roll of mints. Both of these things are placed in Sharon's hand.

"See?" she offers. As for the fresh fish? "...and remember, it is to Florida, not the Moon, where we would find fresh fish at this time of year."

Sharon Smith has posed:
Sharon Smith eagerly snatched up the sweets, and the shoe. It was somewhat awkward trying to fit the shoe on her feet due to the number of socks she had on. There must have been at least three, judging by the bulkiness of her foot. The mints, however, fit easily in her mouth. She didn't wait for them to melt or dissolve at all, and instead attacked them with a cheery 'crunch, crunch, crunch.' She tilted her head in consideration "Teh moon hath fish" she stated with a mint-full mouth.

Emma Frost has posed:
Previous experience helps readiness. Emma would nod over at Marie-Ange brightly, "Well done dear." That level of preparation is appreciated over as she would glance at the shoe, "I'm sure that you could find a use for it. Perhaps you could throw it at something?"

Marie-Ange Colbert has posed:
It really does; Marie's learned a few things over the years. Granted, she'd have to find a replacement for her shoe... but that was a small price to pay for Sharon's happiness. Besides, it wasn't like she couldn't afford it!

"Where are the fish on the moon, mon ami? I have never seen them..." she replies to Sharon, before glancing warily over at Emma at the suggestion to throw the shoe at something. Body tensing, just in case she needs to duck out of the way.

Sharon Smith has posed:
Sharon Smith failed at trying to wiggle the small shoe on an overly-crowded foot. She took Emma's suggestion to heart and comically tossed the shoe back to Marie in a lazy exchange. Luckily it was more of a lazy lob than a baseball pitch. "In the lake." Sharon stated obviously, about where to find fish on the moon.

Emma Frost has posed:
The shoe is appreciated and returned even! Those lessons on etiquette are starting to pay off. "Well, erhpas sometime you could go out fishing. Just get a line and see what you can toss i that might get fish to come out." Then probably have someone get her some fish stick fillets later on

Marie-Ange Colbert has posed:
Marie's reflexes were prepped and ready, so she does, indeed, manage to catch the returned shoe! Taking a moment to slide it back onto her foot. Plus, the fact that it was an easy throw definitely helped.

"...do you know much of ice fishing, Madame Frost?" Marie asks, arching a brow. "That... might be rather valuable information for Sharon, if you do!"

Sharon Smith has posed:
Sharon Smith lounged back on Scott's car again. "I like the fish when they are in little glass boxes... far easier to catch" she mused with a grin. Of coarse the feline-brained mutant knew these things were usually pets. The Xavier College aquarium wasn't empty... at least not yet.

Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost would laugh quietly, "I suppose it could be. Or you could just take her over to a pet store.." After one had bought a great deal of insurance, first. "Well those aren't particularly tasty, Sharon. Easy to get, yes.. But they're just empty calories. Not as good as french fries."

Marie-Ange Colbert has posed:
"What about when the fish are brought to you on plates at a restaurant?" Marie suggests, "...or the fish that hide in the large metal box in the kitchen?" Last night's dinner at the Institute was grilled salmon, afterall... she doesn't doubt that there were more than a few leftovers hiding out in the fridge.

Emma's suggestion of taking Sharon to a pet store is met by wide green eyes. She doesn't even need her precognition to see the stampede that would likely follow as -- at least -- all the cats were set free to roam the mall. So, she diverts. "Oh, oui. Is there anything quite as good as french fries?" she asks, "When I worked at the restaurant," Fancy word for a little shake shack that Jubilee helped her get a job at when she first arrived. "some would even dip them into milkshakes. It was surprisingly delicious!"

Sharon Smith has posed:
Sharon Smith quietly followed the conversation, but immediately abandoned it all as she sat up and decided. "I want a milk shake." Her attention immediately drawn away from fish to the thick, sweet idea of a large, cherry topped milkshake.

Emma Frost has posed:
WEll, that's a bonus. "Of course, we can take you up to the kitchen to get you one, Sharon. It will be faster than you waiting down here for someone to go up and bring it down. It might not be as cold then when we'd get it back here anyways." Emma would smile at her.
