Emma Frost has posed:
Oh, Gotham. How she had come to loathe this side of town. But, occasionally one had business here that they had to take care of. So Emma was i town over. And she had to meet someone. And this is why she wouldn't let them choose the location again. If she wasn't running late thanks to traffic and a general indulgence in wanting to murder the individual she was meeting for business that had been stalling her, she would just leave.
    This wasn't her place remotely, but one had to make due sometime. Sos he just wen to sit down, sipping at a coffee.

Jaina Hudson has posed:
Gotham! Who couldn't love the city that mostly broods in the rain? Jaina Hudson definitely does. She practically hops into the Munch Box, humming along to a song playing through her ear buds. She leans over the counter, says something a bit flirty to the cute guy behind the counter, and then turns to look at who might be hiding out here today. Spotting Emma, she tilts her head a little bit. Who doesn't know Emma Frost, after all. And then she slides into a booth about as far from the woman as possible and waits for her bacon and eggs to arrive.

Jaina Hudson has posed:
A few moments later the door to the Munch Box jangles as another person walks inside. This person is dressed...differently than most everyone else in the place. Rather than leggings and a jacket, or a suit and tie, or any other normal outfit, this character comes in wearing what looks to be a reject fuchsia Playboy Bunny outfit. She's wearing a mask, cheek huggers, and a crop top that is more crop than top. The woman doesn't give even a glance to the Patricia, but rather walks confidently over to Emma, and slides into her booth. "Good morning," she says with a sly smile.

Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost would glance over at the woman as she would enter. Emma would quirk her brow, "You aren't one of the regulars here, are you?" She would drone lightly while evaluating the woman. "Just come off a shift at a club then?" In fairness a woman wearing a rabbit outfit would fit in just about anywhere.

Emma goes to have a sip over at her coffee and look at Jaina - or at least the persona that had entered. "And are you here for something to eat or are you just part of the venue?"

Jaina Hudson has posed:
"Oh, they can't afford me." The White Rabbit replies, giving a coy grin. She leans back in her seat and adds, "I mean, if I were at a club, would you come by?" As she asks this, she glances around the room, as if sizing it up. "I just saw you enter, and had to shoot my shot, you know? Not every day a billionaire beauty comes into a place like the Munch Box without ten bodyguards around to keep the rabble like me away."

For her part, Jaina continues to sit quietly, pulling out her phone and scrolling through some social media feed or another. She might discreetly take a picture of the odd couple sitting across the establishment.

Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost would fold her hands together, "I don't know, I tend not to go to clubs like that." An even lie at the very least. But it's told over with a straight face after all. She's Emma Frost. If she goes anywhere, it's one that she owns - or that's worth about half of what the city is. "And what pray tell what your shoot then that was so discourteous as to not even give you a catering place to get somethign to eat from? They're violating SAG rules."

Not that Jaina was likely part of that, given what type of shoots one probably did even legitimately over in Gotham City. The other figure down there that's checking wouldn't be noticed. It's very common to just look over and stare at Emma. One more after hundreds a day doesn't get any attention given.

Jaina Hudson has posed:
A blank stare is given to Emma from White Rabbit, "What?" she asks, before she laughs as something clicks, "Wait...do you think...that I do /that/? No. Noooooo. No. Maybe sometimes for fun but no not professionally. Come on now," she giggles and shakes her head, "I just figured I could get a word in with you, maybe offer my services...see if you could use a girl like me for...y'know..anything."

Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost would fold he rhands together. "WEll, that depends entirely on the sort of services you offer." Her tone isn't rude, just lightly dismissive. Interested in the 'make me an offer' sort of tone.. But not exactly expecting much of use from the end. Her tone and experssion are at least polite for it!

Jaina Hudson has posed:
Jaina Hudson hmmms and leans forward. Doing so may give Emma a different view of her. "Anything you might need a girl to do...if you're paying for it." There's a mischevious gleam in her eye as she says this, and she bites her lower lip as she looks at Emma.

Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost would smile casually, "And what makes you think then that you're hte type that could catch my attention. What do you offer that a thousand other women off the street would if they happened to catch my interest?"

Jaina Hudson has posed:
"I'm the one who's here offering my services to you while they're still on the couch in sweats and sucking down Hagan Daas." White Rabbit shoots back, smirking just a bit. "There might be a thousand like me out there, but I'm the one who's here." She then tugs out a phone and taps a few buttons on the screen before she slides it across the table to Emma and says, "Put in your number so I know it's you when you need me."

Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost would go to mm over at the White Rabbit, "Please, do go ahead adn tell me what you can do then if you're offering." She would go to then try to quickly scan the deviant's mind. "If you offer me something useful.. Then perhpas I'll follow up with you." Giving a promise along with her comment.

Jaina Hudson has posed:
The scan of White Rabbit's mind is an easy one. She doesn't seem to have any psychological resistances up, and she is a trove of information for Emma, depending on how deep she wants to look. There are dozens of memories of her running faster and farther than should be humanly possible, of making amazing dodges of knives, tables, bottles, and bullets faster than any normal human could, of escaping from any and every type of restraint possible...but there are also some strange gaps in her memory. Deeper investigation may reveal more, but just glancing over her mind makes two things clear: one, she's not a normal human and two: many of her memories seem to be intertwined with a figure that looks very much like Jaina Hudson, sitting all the way across the room from Emma and White Rabbit.

Jaina Hudson has posed:
"I'm fast, I'm near silent, I can dodge anything, and escape from any sort of restraint you want to put me in....not that I'd try to escape from you," White Rabbit replies to Emma's question with a wink.

Emma Frost has posed:
How interesting this is.. THe woman is metahuman - Emma can't tell from a quick mindscan of her what type. But she's definitely interested in what she's picking up. Presuming that it's actual truth rather than her own mind pressing a belief upon her and convincing her. Which was something to test later.

"Yes.. I can happen to use someone of your talents. However, I'll want to evaluate your abilities before offering a long term contract."

Jaina Hudson has posed:
Jaina Hudson leans back in the booth and slides a little lower down the seat as she watches Emma, grinning, "Works for me, babe," she replies, before she winks, hops up, and heads for the exit. After she's taken her phone with Emma's digits in it, that is.
