---

Monet St. Croix has posed:
It was Clarice's turn to help. Given M's rather minimal experience with the Savage Land, and the Pink ONe's extensive dinosaur riding experience, Clarice had been dispatched over to M's room to try and talk the girl through the basics.

Clarice Ferguson has posed:
Blink carries an armsfull amount of maps and documents to Monet's room and smiles knowingly as Monet lets her in, "Monet!" she lets out, "This is an X-Men right of passage. I bought /everything/ to answer your questions," she explains energetically.

Monet St. Croix has posed:
Monet St. Croix would let out a sigh, "Lovely." She looks completely thrilled. "So how does that particular abomination against reality and logic continue to exist?" Yes,that's a rhetorical thing when no one has the slightest idea.

Clarice Ferguson has posed:
Clarice Ferguson throws the documents down on Monet's desk with a plop and looks at her curiously over the pile, "Huh?" she wonders, "How does it continue to exist? Oh just lucky I guess," she explains helpfully, "Did you know that the Antarctica Jungle has been a story for millions of years? Yep, it's really temerate. Hot even. Just like the myths. It's true."

Monet St. Croix has posed:
Monet St. Croix would shrug over, "Yes, I presume there has been something external to it. But that's more of something for the consideration of Doctor Richards. it does exist." In a world with time travel, dimension hopping, and magic, why couldn't a jungle in the coldest part of Earth wtih dinosaurs not exist?
    "So, what are your suggestions for comfort and fashion in such a miserable climate?"

Clarice Ferguson has posed:
Clarice Ferguson hmms, "Fashion?" she wonders, "Something comfortable but it'll be like Brazil all day long. I think we have to deal with some dangerous creatures but I haven't talked to Scott or Jean about it. I presume we're going to pop in and blow up stuff and pop out. Right?" she wonders, "You don't need jackets or sweaters."

Monet St. Croix has posed:
Monet St. Croix would make a face, "I'm familiar with the climate. I don't particularly like it, but it must be endured." She knew what tropical and sub tropical were like. She could tolerate them - but they did make her miserable. "And what sorts of adversaries should we expect to face there beyond aliens and snarling beastmen?"

Clarice Ferguson has posed:
Clarice Ferguson nods slowly to her description, "Right, all of the above," she tells her, "Going to the tropics may sound fun but the savage land is aptly named," she explains in her best Monet-logic, "There are huge creatures there. And small cute ones too but one can't presume," she says with a knowing nod.

Monet St. Croix has posed:
Monet St. Croix would make a face, "Yes, and the cute ones are likely to be just as dangerous if not moreso as they'll have things you're not aware of or until too late." She's seen the things that spit acid, poison, and on a couple of occasions fire.

Clarice Ferguson has posed:
Clarice Ferguson walks over to Monet's closet and hmms again, opening it to look for Monet's summer clothes, "It's true," she says again, "Ka-Zar knows the most about the savage land. I'm not sure why we're not asking for his help. But maybe Scott has another plan."

Monet St. Croix has posed:
Monet St. Croix would shrug, "Perhaps Lord Plunder has better things to do with his time." That name alone gave her a great deal of suspicion no matter what. "I'm sure that between Mister Summers and the Amazon Princess we will have plenty of tactical acumen." Monet's closet is full of.. Clothes.
    Very, very, very high end, expensive.. And very, very many clothes

Clarice Ferguson has posed:
Clarice Ferguson takes a few moments to look at all the clothes and leans back to find the end of the closet, "Monet, you better start packing early," she states amusedly, "I'm sure you're right. I'm sure Scott doesn't want to endanger anyone but from what I heard, this is a real combat mission," she states.

Monet St. Croix has posed:
Monet St. Croix would nod, "yes, which is the amount of firepower we'll have onhand." There is nothing in M's wardrobe remotely appropriate to wear in the jungle. All of it horrifically expensive and custom tailored and accessorized. How much money could rich people spend on clothes!?

Clarice Ferguson has posed:
Clarice Ferguson flips through a couple clothes and makes a face, "Monet, where's your jungle wear?" she wonders, "Don't you go to Hawaii?" she asks amusedly. She finally puts a hand on her hip, "Guess you'll have to improvise. Pair of shorts perhaps?"

Monet St. Croix has posed:
Monet St. Croix would glance at clarice, "If one goes to Hawaii they'll not be bothering with the jungles. They'll be going to the beach and to the resorts and to the -ameniable- areas." she would make a face. "Fine, shall I be limited to noe of the combat uniforms then?"

Clarice Ferguson has posed:
Clarice Ferguson picks out one of Monet's tops and holds it up to herself, looking at it. She then frowns at Monet, "What areas?" she wonders. She replaces the top in the closet, "Well you have to punch monsters. You want to punch things in French silk?" she wonders.

Monet St. Croix has posed:
Monet St. Croix would sigh, "If it's comfortable, yes. And we're going to be -drooled- on there. I'd much rather not be drooled on, but it's the things we have to endure to try and save the world." She would sigh. "At least with you there we can quickly withdraw to freshen up."

Clarice Ferguson has posed:
Clarice Ferguson looks worried the others might not realize the same thing, "Can you speak up in case we need to pop out of there?" she wonders, "I can't keep an eye on everyone," she says disappointedly. She turns away from Monet's closet.

Monet St. Croix has posed:
Monet's closet is a showcase of how much money one can sink into things of virtually no value beyond possession. "I'm sure that it can be spread quickly. I'll ensure that when we're in the field that all will be aware of it."

Clarice Ferguson has posed:
Clarice Ferguson nods to what she says, "Okay great," she says and walks back over to Monet's desk, pointing to a map, "I was going to pop in here but we shouldn't come in randomly," she tells Monet, "Alright well, that's another thing to tell Scott about."

Monet St. Croix has posed:
Monet St. Croix would nod over at Clarice, glancing over at it, "A good suggestion. Among the group that can fly there's no reason to arrive with everyone bunched up. We can come ing roups from different areas in case there's an ambush."

Clarice Ferguson has posed:
Clarice Ferguson looks over at Monet from the desk and says, "But then I /really/ can't keep track of anyone," she says protectively, "You have to be careful Monet. I get high strung when things happen so fast," she explains. She unrolls another document, "Here's a document I wrote down about the dinosaurs I saw this one time," she offers, rolling it up again so she can keep on Monet's desk for her to read.

Monet St. Croix has posed:
Monet St. Croix would sigh over and listen, "Very well, thank you, it is appreciated. And I'm sure that a telepath can maintain a group link amongst the team. I am unsure if it will be myself or antoehr. But there will be someone capable of coordinating." She would glance at Clarice. "And are you all right?"

Clarice Ferguson has posed:
Clarice Ferguson nods to what Monet says, "Yes, you can read these in your spare time," She explains, "Coordinating?" she wonders, "Yes, we don't usually have a problem with that right?" she questions, "What? I'm fine. Why?"

Monet St. Croix has posed:
Monet St. Croix would nod, "You merely seem somewhat agituated. I am not fluent enough with you to state whether htis is aberrant or not." Yup, she was direct.

Clarice Ferguson has posed:
Clarice Ferguson shakes her head, "You're not fluent enough? No no, not agitated," she explains, "I'm just worried, as usual," she states, "But I'm sure we have enough powerful folks to handle things. What's wrong?" she asks her.

Monet St. Croix has posed:
Monet St. Croix would shake her head, "NOthing at all." She would cock her head. "Merely attempting to familiarize myself over to your behavior patterns as I have not owrked with you in the field before and I wish to ensure there is a smooth transition if the situation escalates."

Clarice Ferguson has posed:
Clarice Ferguson pauses for a moment as if thinking about something and then suddenly smiles, "You're worried about me!" she lets out and claps her hands, "How sweet!" she adds, "Aw Monet, don't be worried. I'm sure I'll be fine."

Monet St. Croix has posed:
Sure, that's it. Monet goes to smile, flawlessly. "Yes, I want to ensure that we can smoothly operate as a team. I trust you, but we are teammates and we have to cover one another's backs."

Clarice Ferguson has posed:
Clarice Ferguson wiggles her finger at Monet knowingly, "Yeah yeah, I know, I know, miss logical," she chuckles, "Yeah I know, I worry about the team too. But I've been part of a couple teams with great leaders and they worked pretty well that way. I think this about the same situation."
