Owner Pose
Emma Frost It was a blip of a day. Attempts at dissecting frogs over in class had gone haywire when some of the frogs had suddenly gone animate and hopped all over the place when some of the younger students had attempted to 'fre ethem from activity' and help them get outside. A short bit of chaos (and fire suppression system later), the remaining people present were clearing out some of the charred remnants of the student science lab.
Rogue Rogue wasn't a science type, per say, but she did help out around the school. After the event took place, she showed up with some towels and cleaning supplies on a cart. "Ya'll made a big damn mess in here." The Belle says as she arrives, her gloves on and pulled up to her elbows.

She starts unloading the cart and moving to set some of the supplies down on the tables in the room.
Emma Frost One of the frogs would stare up and over at her somewhat flatly. Then there's a chirp over, "Yeah! It was great!" It almost sounds familiar. Upbeat, peppy.. Small girl in a hoodie that had a white stream over in brown hair. "Makin' a mess is fun!"
Rogue Rogue pauses at this.

She stands off to the side of the classroom before she looks around. "What?" She says. "Who said that?" She asks further before looking down to see a frog? She stands there with her gloves on, some cleaning supplies in her hands beside a cleaning supply cart.

"That's it, I need drugs of some kind..."
Emma Frost As Rogue would stare on down, she sees a.. Young version of.. Herself? Wearing a green and white suit over with a hoodie, of adorable size and with a bit of a lisp. "Hi! I said that, silly! Who else would have said it! We're the only ones here!" She would bounce up in midair and float over at face level to the southern belle.
Rogue When the kid appears, Rogue just stares at her with huge eyes. She looks around as the little one flies up in to the air to be headlevel with her.

"Uh..." The Belle utters. "Hello..." She tells the little girl.

"Don't think you're a student here... You, uh, got nice hair though." She adds with a little hesitant smirk.

"Your parents around, or somethin'?" She inquires further as she sets some of the cleaning supplies down on the table.
Tabitha Smith Fire alarms tends to usually be a pretty big deal and eventually once Tabby is sure she didn't the blame this time skids into the class area with an extinguisher in her arms.

Blonde hair in a trail of a pony tail. Old red cutoffs and a turquoise shoulderless tee with the same colored sneakers.

The skid is more squeaky and Tabby has to counter balance first before she peeks back through the door the other way and finds herself starinbg at escaping frogs and Rogue talking to... A little sister.

"Hello my many, hello my honey?" she greets in a confused tone. Making sure not to step on frogs.

"As far as weird goes. Rogue was always adorable, we have evidence!"
Emma Frost Lil Roguie would hop up in the air, moving to head down to pick up one of the cannisters of bleach, floating up into the air with it to set it on the table. "Thanks! I really like it. It's not 'az awesome as your's is!" She would chirp happily.

"And I dun have any! Mojo cloned me 'an everythin'! But he's not real nice." She would go to help and end up somehow juggling and nearly dropping hte bleach.

Going to giggle madly at Tabitha and clap her hands.. Which would have her drop the bleach. "Oops!"
Rogue A look is sent back to the arriving Tabitha. Rogue sweeps her stare from the blonde, to the mini-Rogue, and just narrows her eyes. "Mojo?" She asks, before reaching out to snatch the bleach can from her. "Don't mess with that, its bad for ya..." She says as she puts it back on the cart.

"Here." She gives the kid a towel. "Soak up some'a the water off the floor."

The Belle then looks back over to Tabi. "What was Mojo again? I forgot. It was that... alien, or whatever, right?"
Tabitha Smith "Welp, that'd do it." Tabby states. "Mojo is kind of an ass. And not the cuddy sort we have in the stable either." Tabby explains. "Think Jabba if he was a TV producer. With cyborg bits and a bored and nasty streak like a Beauty Youtuber." she explains and sets the extiguisher down on a bench.

"Soo umm, think we might wanna stay extra on our toes. We'll probably end up headlining his next series if we're not careful." she adds and smiles at the two Southern Gal's.

"How have you not been snatched up yet anyway? Weren't you with us last time, there was a Baby Rahne that everyone wanted to adopt." Tabby states and pushes her glasses on her nose. "Wow, that's gotta be some Longshot level luck." she states to the OG Anna Marie before looking to the miniature. "So..." she steps in and goes to pick up that bleach and puts what muscles she's earned to use. "Any more a ya fam escaped? I can't imagine they'd wanna stay home. And Mojo yeah he's an ass about that too."
Emma Frost Lil Roguie would go to take the rag, floating towards the ground, "Hup! HuP!" She would go to land and move to take up the rag, putting it under her feet and swaying back and forth like a slip and slide. "Whee!"

At Rogue's query, she would uhh, "He said we 'wuz being canceled as idn't appeal to the right Dumm.. Dumb graphic. So he just tried to throw us into a blender." She would maneuver like she was ice skating on the rag, speaking of things in the Mojoverse as if this was completely normal.

As Tabitha would ask, Lil Roguie would think, "Uh.. Ida know. Just we all ran 'an a lot of things went on fire while he had a camera crew chazin us."
Rogue Mutter, mutter, mutter.

Rogue prime doesn't seem happy about this. Whether its the small version of her existing, or what the small version of her is saying, or what Tabitha is offering for way of trying to explain the madness.

Rogue starts cleaning up the science lab either way, glancing over at her smaller self. "I can't keep up with this... library'a lecherous lunacy that we're always havin' t'deal with around here." She mutters a little louder now.

Clean, clean, clean!

"I mean, I'm not gonna let anyone put you in a ... blender? But. I dunno what t'do with a small version'a myself either."

"They should make handbooks for this kinda crazy shit."
Tabitha Smith Tabby hmmm as she moves bottles to benches and finds herself volunteering for clean up. "He recycles everything. Including his cast." Tabby adds and makes a whiirring blender noise. It's probably not a comfort to either skunk haired girl.

"We'll keep ya safe as long as ya need us. But we'll probably need to track down the rest of your brothers and sisters." she states and does her best reassuring big sister tone.

"And the library is not that lecherous. I haven't been there since wait, not answering that." she states and hmms a little sadly. "I miss Xi'an." she adds and moves on.

"There probably is. Someone here would have had to have been so bored to make a wiki of something for the school's intranet or something." she goes on.

"I am hoping Mojo fonally gets on the kick of retro binge streaming and just starts uploading all his old stuff and stops making new cause that's were a lot of money and audience goes. Re-runs." she she says aloud in case he is listening. "Interdimensional HULU!"
Emma Frost Lil Roguie would move to hop along, then going to pick up the rag and spin it and snap it to get it dry, "Whazza lecheruz?" She would inquire with total obliviousness. "And Ida know either! And I'm the one here too!" She would offer with the self assuredness of a child.

"And I don't have the thing that has.. Words and says what's gonna happen 'an written down.." Given Mojoverse, she probably means 'a script'.

Lil Roguie would go to hover over at face level towards Tabitha, "Dunno where they ended up at! He sent a camera crew to eat us 'an we all scattered. 'An then somethin' splodied and guy wtih mul.. Mull.. Spiky hair 'thin an shiny ey 'wuz there." She would offer while going to the car tto try and pull it along, not quite strong enough to get it forwards.
Ruth Aldine "Does this mean I don't have to do my last lab report?" says

RUTH ALDINE - the amazing BLINDFOLD (provisional mutant name, not yet fully registered, beat the rush)

as she stands in the doorway. "Tabitha I heard you talking about Hulu or something and it doesn't smell like chemicals in here right now."
Rogue Rogue just huffs out a heavy sigh as she starts moving chairs up on to the lab tables. She looks over to mini-Rogue and Tabi staring at each other. "Ya mean that nasty bastard might be watchin' us right now?" She asks then as she looks around the whole room. Unnerving. Hard to believe too. Wouldn't Jean or the Professor know it?

Ruth's arrival, though, has Rogue looking over her shoulder.

"Careful in here, I think this is a room of unending madness right now." She states while stacking chairs on the science lab tables.
Tabitha Smith "Picture redheaded girls. And smooching them. And them smooching back Roguie." Tabby explains with a grin to the smallerv duplicate of Rogue hovering about. A big blown kiss and a Muwah smacking sound punchtauting it.

"We were going to experiment with how much more blonde my hair could get." Tabby explains to Ruth with a grin. "Yeah, he does that. Think there's some cross dimensional sciency magic technobabbly behind it. My place is shielded from it and teleporting. Thank you Illyana. But I only have so much room. So we can keep a bunch a these Clone Kid You's but if Mojo's doing the whole school for laughs that might become a problem."
Emma Frost Lil Roguie would uh, "Dunno." She would hover over and wave at Ruth, "Hi!" Even as her hands would whirl in excitement at seeing someone new despite the whole.. Well.. Inability to be seen back! But the enthusiasm was there like some sort of golden retriever.

"An he's a big fat meanie." As Rogue would go on Lil Roguie would shift about, "Sorry room! Didn't mean to make you angry."

Tabitha's comment of 'room' would be met with sudden itnerest, "Can we do a sleepover!?" How did she manage to get doe-starry sniffle eyes so fast!?
Ruth Aldine "Is he? Sorry, but, I just got here, do I have to do my lab report?" Ruth insists a little at Rogue. She walks inside - and when she hears an unfamiliar voice, she turns a little, raising a hand outwards. "Oh, who's that?"

She sends Rogue the telepathic equivalent of a text message:
> lol you have a little sister!
> (a Ruth-winking emoji which looks like most of the others because she literally does not have eyes but since this is telepathy the emotional valence is crystal clear)
> seriously though can i use this as an excuse please?

"I think we're pretty good with clones if you're worried, yes, about that."
Rogue Rogue just frowns.

At all of it.

She smirks at Ruth's 'text' in to her mind. "I guess." She randomly says 'to herself' in response.

With the chairs stacked, the Belle looks back to the others. She eyes Tabi. "I don't want a buncha small versions of ourselves locked up in a secret room. Somethin... feels 'off' about that. Borderin' on weird cult shit, like we don't get enough'a that around here."

She looks back to Ruth then. "Science lab is cancelled today. On accounta the frog incident. Now..." She nods to 'her little self'.

"And I'm sure as hell not sendin' a tiny versiona myself back t'some place where a Jabba the Hutt wants to put her in a blender neither."
Tabitha Smith "Luckily I think the cyborg mountain of congealed grease is a fan of action and comedy primarily. Other genres I dunno, but yea he watches us and hopefully channel skips anything not interesting." Tabby states and tries to be as reassuring.

"That was sort of the idea to keep you and anyone safe. I got a bigger place than most. Big couch and seats. My last boyfriend was huuuuuuuuge!" she says and raises her hand over head and jumps on one foot. Still can't quite get to the seven and a galf or so height of Warpath.

"What secret? It's my dorm, not locking anyone in. It's just a safe space for now. No one is building shrines." she points out sounding a little more like a concerned mom or aunt.
Emma Frost Ruth has her lab report off! Lil Roguie would float over, "What's a cult?" She would inquire, wide eyed and confused. "And I dun wanna end up in a belnder either. Or eaten. Bein' canceled is bad enough." She would take a few moments to sort through her mind on how to explain.

"The.. No backs.. Spiney.. Dun have a spine.. Ones.. Are really mean."

Lil Roguie would swivel her head back and forth in confusion a the banter. "So we can't have a sleepover?"
Ruth Aldine "A cult's what you call a religion that hasn't, yes, been around for a while," Ruth answers Little Rogue. She tilts her head for a moment, listening.

She snickers at what Tabitha says about her former boyfriend.
Rogue Rogue steps over to Reggie the Turtle's glass windowed box along the floor and she peers in at him. "Reg. Reg." She says, tapping on the glass. The turtle is just eating turtle food and seems okay. This has Rogue leaning up again to peer at her smaller self. "What she said." She adds with a motion gesture toward Ruth.

"Look. We'll figure somethin' out. Tabi, ya don't need t'start collectin' other people t'cram in your dorm room. You'll have a weird circus in there by the enda summer if ya do. Maybe we can talk t'someone. I dunno. That Wizard guy in New York. He may know how t'fix tiny versions of ourselves runnin' around."

She glances at said 'tiny version' and shows a light smile. "Not that ya need fixin'. But, I mean, this is all kinda weird. Even for this place."
Tabitha Smith "They still have to pay the folks in charge money after taking it from their members." Tabby adds with a grin and pulls her pockets from her shorts in the universal ain't got no cash gesture.

"Teeing up the wizard. Just call Illyana, it's her husband. She's set my place up. I'm sure she can be bribed to get him to help her upscale the wards for the whole school." Tabitha does nod when Rogue tries to get the blonde throttling back on offering shelter.

These clone kids definitely count as abused. And that is a very sore spot for Boom-Boom. "They don't deserve what's being done. So I can't just sit back." she states and folds her arms against hger chest.

"What needs fixing is the sitch. That means making sure no blenders are anywhere neer you and if then only little ones for like milkshakes and stuff. I make awesome shakes." she points out with a sagacious nod of her head and a push of her glasses before they fall off her nose.
Emma Frost The confused tilt of Lil Rogueie's head is probably going to ask what a religion is right before Rogue goes over to go on 'tiny version' and she would chirp, "I know! Isn't it hte greatest!" She would float over and sit on the edge of one of the tables, kicking her legs excitedly.

"I'm gonna get to join a cult!" She would be very chipper over that. To Rogue's consternation or Tabitha's amusement.

"'An hi Roof!" Then, "Can we have milkshakes? Pretty please with sugar on top?"
Ruth Aldine Ruth folds her arms in front of herself, probably proud of herself for having 'that's what she said'deded at Boom-Boom. Her head tilts downwards.

She sends another thought to Rogue as she sort of walks through the wreckage of the room, poking some shards of lab table with her foot.

> hey so i haven't read her mind yet
> i'm tryin to work on that
> should i?

"You can, yes; sorry," Ruth tells Li'l Rogue. "Are you asking for one?"
Rogue Big Rogue (worst name ever) walks back to the cleaning cart she pushed in to the science lab. She pushes the sleeves on her Xavier School hoodie up to her elbows as she pulls out a heavy duty garbage bag from one of the shelves.

Annoying garbage bag opening noise.

Anna-Marie glances up across the room at 'herself' and doesn't look very happy about the situation. Why? Well, it brings back some memories of being that old. Her white streaked hair came around the age of 6 when her mother vanished in to that strange portal, and her father ran after her only to vanish too.

A glance is sent to Ruth, and the Belle nods her head. "Please do. I'm curious." She vocally answers Blindfold.

She then looks to Tabi. "Illyana got married? Guess my invite got lost in the mail."

She starts grumpily putting stuff in to the trash bag then.
Jean Grey The Eye of Sauron looms!

Or at least, Jean has caught wind that something weird is going on. Although the all-seeing reputation she gets isn't entirely accurate, she does tend to pick up on weirdness past a certain degree. And extra copies of people count! Overly cute miniaturized versions count extra! And probably Rogue herself is feelin' some STUFF. So, as she passes through the building on whatever legitimate teacherly purposes she stops abruptly at the sciene room, waits a moment, and then peers inside.

"What's- oh."

Well that's something. Though her expression is not so shocked as it might be if this were truly unprecedented. "What happened in here, we get invaded?" She definitely homes in on mini-Rogue, but quickly looks around further as if expecting the whole gang.
Tabitha Smith "I know right. But considering how we get with weddings. Might have been the safe option." Tabitha says and actually gets back on with the cleaning up. And the odd forlorn look at a fire extinguisher that she never got to use.

"Anyway, it's a set up and a stop gap solution for now Anna-Marie." she offers with a shrug of mostly bare shoulders while she uses the side of the sole of her shoe to sweep some of the heavier stuff into a pile before it can be picked up a bit more neatly with hands.

Jean's entrance probably got her a read on the whole situation after a scan of the collective nuggets in the room. "Mojo stuff. Bunch a mini-X-Men, offered my peeking and teleporting proof room to keep em all safe when we find more runaways. Searching for bigger solutions school wide. lamenting we missed Illyana's wedding to Doctor Strange." she sums up. "I miss anything? Oh yeah, I did not make this mess!" she says with a little extra emphasis on 'this'.
Emma Frost Litlte Rogue looks at Big Rogue and would go to hop over, landing on the ground and move to try to help with the bag! This ends with it sort of flattening her as she would go 'eww'. And let out a low whine.
    "An yeah pretty please? I wanna milkshake! We can all share it!" She was rather polite after all! Sharing was caring!
    There don't seem to be any other X-Babies around, just a partially squished Lil Roguie that was trying to help heft the garbage bag. "Hi Jean!" Waving.
Ruth Aldine Ruth "I Got Out Of Schoolwork" Aldine turns her head to consider the others, but Rogue's giving her the goahead, and so without asking she does the psychic equivalent of sticking a microphone at Little Rogue's mind - to listen to her, even to pervade and invade her thoughts

AT WHICH POINT Jean Grey appears right behind her, which means that the psychic exertion remains perfectly still and does not gather any further information.

"She got married to Doctor Strange?" Ruth echoes. "Or are you messing with me?"
Jean Grey "Yeah, I recognize the litle gal," Jean confirms as Tabitha outlines the situation. A pause, and then she clarifies: "Well, for more than the obvious reason." She's seen the little ones before! And the big one! But its the little ones that are the focus here. There's also an added pause when a random marriage gets thrown on top of the pile of information. "Huh."

But, other things! She lifts a hand to wave back at the mini-Rogue.

<You can go on,> she encourages Ruth, in what is no doubt extremely familiar teacherly fashion. She got out of homework and earned a free telepathy lesson in its place! Score!
Rogue Rogue frowns when the kid gets hit with the trash bag. She's not a good parent. She knows she'd be terrible at it. Even if Jeepers is perfectly happy and healthy, he's a dog. Not a kid!

"Sorry." She mutters before glancing over to Ruth to see if the mind reader can read anything interesting. Or alarming.

Another glance is spared toward Tabi then. "Isn't Stranger like in his fifties?" Rogue asks. "Bold. Old."

She smirks at herself then before Jean appears. "Hey. Look it. It's another versiona me. This time maybe she can be raised right, and not turned inta the hellion that ... Okay, I lost my train'a thought."

The Belle scoots over then and starts picking up what Tabi pushed around with her shoe.

Trash bag! Spooosh!
Tabitha Smith "We'll hit the kitchen Sugah. The proper use for blenders is tasty drinks!" Tabby states with a sage nod. Booze is optional but Tabby can probably feel an impending glare if she got the clonses toasted. "It's also milk shakes for the rest a yah. Flavors must be listed or I shall experiment." she states to the clone of dorbs, the OG dorbs, and the other X-Ladies of Dorbs, Westchester and hmmms as she hunkers down to pick stuff collected by feets to dump in a bag. Mostly being careful in case of anythinbg sharp. Invulberability is not in her wheelhouse of powers. Just some above average blunt force resistance on acount of the amount of beatings she's taken.

"So plans for making the smaller side of the family safe."

She doesn't get much chance to argue or debate because she's squatting underneath Anna Marie and the trashbag of spoosh she wa trying to fill and maybe dead frog and other mess lands on mostly bare skin because it was warm enough a day she decided on red cutoffs and a small shoulderless top in turquoise..

"Ewwwwwwwwwwwww!" she yells out and looks as green as the frogs.
Emma Frost Lil Roguie moves to slowly pull her way out of the bad that had partially skooshed her and would go to lfoat up in the air, "Bye Roof!" She would wave at Ruth if the other woman was going to leave, her eyes wide. "So did she get married and you didn't know? Aww. She probably didn't get nice presents!"

As real-Rogue would go on Lil Rougie would chirp, "You're the best one! 'An the big one. And the real nice one!"

Then a rapidly flailing as Rogue and Tabby would go to flail and flip as she's darting ou tof the way, "WAUGH!"
Ruth Aldine At the point when Jean also gives her permission, Ruth - who isn't actually leaving in the flesh - gives her a thumb-and-pinky handwobble sign.

She immediately begins trying to read Little Rogue's mind again!

Whatever there may be in within.

"I didn't see that happening," Ruth muses. "But, pardon, I guess it comes and goes. I wasn't really looking, either, sorry."
Emma Frost Ruth picks up teh general happiness and glee that can only come from a child. But there's also the undertones of things inherent to the Mojoverse. The infinitness used for slaughter and entertainment. Endless seas of clones. Teh eternal sloth of the Spineless Ones. The never ending channel hopping.
    The Mojo Home Shopping Network.
Jean Grey In her own infinite headmistressness, Jean stands back to supervise all this trashbag nonsense. Which is to say, she keeps safely near the door, away from the mess and chaos. Although, here and there, an object may right itself in place, or pick itself up and casually flop into the open bag. See? Helping!

"So what brought them all here this time, specifically? If it's a them, that is... and then where are the rest?" She's really playing catch-up still, and while she seems casual about the idea that Mojoverse clones might be running around, there is an undertone to her voice that betrays a slightly greater concern. "I remember the last time we - well, or I got dragged there, anyway. They helped us escape, but I don't remember them all infesting the mansion afterward."

"As for housing them in the meantime... I don't think any of the normal housing is acceptable," she notes with some firmness. "We can't really have them running amok. Maybe set them up quarters in one of the sub-basement labs? Could bring down some personal effects to make it a little more comfortable, maybe."
Rogue Rogue holds the bag open as some others help out, and more floats in. She glances over to Ruth before down to Tabi who exclaims the Ewwness. This gets a smirk. "I swear..." She says softly with a shake of her head.

Once the bag is sufficiently filled up, Rogue would go to tie it off, and set it over by the podium where the teacher in here would give lectures.

"So like, can we get to this Mojoverse?" She asks around, though her eyes are on Jean specifically. "I mean. I'd kinda like t'put this fat bastard in his place, one'n for all. He sounds like a straight up /dick/, and I think its time we put him outta business."

She glances once more to the tiny version of her, and frowns again.
Ruth Aldine Ruth usually has a vaguely pleasant look on her face. Maybe this is because, at rest, her cracked-up bucket of pieces of a mind is pretty well disposed, or maybe it's because if she doesn't smile she'll cry and she can't, but either way she sort of looks like she's smiling a little when she's not doing anything else.

She's frowning now.

"Pardon," she says, "but you, sorry, don't want to go there, no. No, no. Not unless you have to."
Tabitha Smith "Yes Ruth, the marriage is real. There's hyphenated names and everything." Messy as Tabitha is this is not the worst Rogue and Jean have seen. The blonde drops to sit on her backside and flicks bits of stuff out of her hair. "Imma raid Jean's bathroom for this. Shower, all the shampoo again. And then the Jacuuzi. Try and stop me!" she states with a pouting tone, a flick of her finger and a little poof of a bomblet going off in front of her.  

"Gettingmarried around here tends to bring unwanted unwelcome guests. Like the difference between you turning up Sugah." she's going with that littkle affectation for a nickname to better discern from Anna-Marie. "And Mojo himself turning up. You we like and wanna make safe. Mojo. I wanna 'splode him and use all that oil and grease to keep my van running." she explains to the lil Belle.

"My room in the student dorm building is warded for peeping and teleporting Jean. It's also kinda warded for fire and booms. So it might be as safe as it gets and not in the mansion where extra trouble might happen." she says and re-offers.

"Shouldn't be too hard. Again, badger the wizard side of the fam." the gunge covered blonde states in resignation of her lot in this life. "It kinda sucks there. Figure the ones not in showbiz are worse off. Bread and Circuses type stuff!"
Emma Frost Lil Roguie's face twists over in a nod at Rogue, "He's a big meaniepants." That seemingly the strongest language she could use. "Ida know." Shaking her head over at Jean on the question of 'others'. "MOjo just say we wuz bein' canceled 'an sent a camera crew to eat us. We all ran 'an there was this guy with a glowy eye sparkle." She would consider.

"I dunno where everyone else is. They could be like anywhere! There was a big PSHEW!" Her waving emphatically in a maneuver that was very, very unlike Big Rogue.

Then she would catch a sense of Ruth's seeming disorientation. And go to float up and over to try and give her a hug. "Iz you okay?" She would offer worriedly.

"An Mojo's bein extra mean lately 'an keepin on throwing out things."
Jean Grey "Some of us have visited before," Jean explains, turning slightly more toward Ruth, although there is no attempt to make (fruitless) eye-contact! "It's an extra-dimensional space of some kind, although I don't know that we have much understanding beyond that. Well, other than the fact it seems somehow connected to our reality, because Earth television seems to have some kind of impact on their culture." She glances sidelong at Tabitha. "But, yes, Illyana might be able to manage it, if she's been there? Usually, we just end up... sort of summoned."

Usually?!

It is Lil Roguie's testimony that takes her attention next, because... well, it is pretty informative, for a little childish clone thing! "He canceled all of you and sent you away? That's interesting. It could mean the rest of you ended up somewhere nearby." Pause, frown. "Well, near is kind of relative, I suppose. But I wouldn't want any of you to get hurt. You are... kind of us, after all. Makes sense we should be friends."

The specific description of the 'glowy eye sparkle' is also echoed with a thought to Ruth: <See if you can pull the image, directly from her mind's eye.> No doubt Jean could do it. But... teachable moment!
Rogue Rogue's shoulders go up, then with a heavy exhale, they drop again. "God." She quietly exclaims. "I get it, this place is super freaky wierdo land. But, I'm not afraid. I feel like if we got the jump on them, and didn't wait t'get summoned to some kinda trap... we could get the upper hand. Shut this guy down for good."

She looks around to the others to see if she's inspiring a revolution against Mojo.. doesn't feel like it. Maybe needs pamphlets.

Another glance is given to the 'Sugah' version of her, and she listens to what the telepaths are saying.

"Would Cerebro pick them up if they're all sent t'random places around here? Might make it easier roundin' all the tikes up."

She looks to Tabi and just grins lightly at her. "I swear, you just want t'have the weirdest room in this whole compound."
Ruth Aldine Ruth tells Li'l Rogue when she inquires, "Nah, just a... headache," which is fake but she doesn't say it very loud and maybe she even looks weird and needs to wash her hair. She grinds the heel of her palm over her forehead.

Jean gave her something to look for. She looks for the guy with the glowy eye sparkle. Her idea of eye, being kind of hypothetical, is pretty generous.

"I, sorry, don't watch television," Ruth tells the X-Baby, before folding her arms and taking several quick, deep breaths.

"Is she after his house or something? I heard he's, sorry, got a magic house," Ruth asks Tabitha just to keep herself busy potentially. "Big old surprise here. I shouldn't judge. She can, no, probably hear me."
Tabitha Smith "So first thing is find the kids. They're clones. So we bust out the cerebro bucket. Ruth, you ever wear the metal bowl yet? On the job training if not!" Tabby suggests with a grin. The blonde picking up as much of the solid trash that's not sharp or spiky and bagging it.

The hot mess already made so Tabby just runs with it.

"Any room I'm in is the weirdest room. Given value of weird and I have a few settings for that. But this is more about keeping abused kids safe. Serious business. You guys gave me a safe place and a home and a family. If I can help do that for other kids and friends and family. Damn well I'm gonna offer what I can!" she states and actually has all the joking suprisingly absent in her voice. "Wonder if I could use Cerebro. I mean it's still kinda psionic power to make and control my bombs." she ponders curiously.
Emma Frost Ruth is able to pretty readily get the picture out of Lil Rogueie's head. Male. Wearing dark jumpsuit with a star on it. Mullet. Glowing cybernetic eye. Familiar or perhaps not to the ladies in the room. If known then immediately recognizable as Longshot, eternal plucky rebel against the dark tyrant of pay per view.

From the Mojoverse refugee there is a sense of wonder radiating from her at it. Who would have ever helped people in the Mojoverse. "Okay!" Taking Ruth's commentary she was okay at face value.

Jean going on about Mojoverse and culture and television has her mind wandering. "He's just gettin' mad. Somethin' about sweeps 'an vacation and not getting enough ratins. He's always mad about those. You dun wanna end up canceled. An.. I hope the others are here. Cuz we're X-Babies ferever!" Her going to do a victorious style of pose that would be very Rogue, albeit petite, like.
Jean Grey "A search with Cerebro would be a good way to start," Jean has to agree, when this idea gets not one but two endorsements, although she does quickly cut short the quick suggestions that various students try it out... from a reasonable if inexperienced candidate in Ruth to a somewhat less plausible one in Tabitha. "It can be overwhelming, and exponentially so the broader you have to expand the search," she explains. "So we usually start with something more controlled. But I can try, and if I don't get them, even ask Charles. He's got a lot more experience with it than even I do."

Now she pauses to look around the room again, which has fractionally improved in appearance, if only that.

"For now, let's get all of this cleaned up, and I can try searching for the other... X-babies." It does make her cringe slightly to say it, and then, reflexively give the Lil Roguie an apologetic look. "As for housing this one... I do appreciate the notion of a shielded room, Tabitha, but we do have procedures and... well, our visitor here is still an extradimensional being with Rogue's powers. That means we both can't just have her 'hanging out' like some kind of mascot. But it also means there really shouldn't be any chance of her teleporting anywhere, as long as we don't put her together with one. Really, her power is more a danger to her potential roomate than anyone else." And Tabitha is given a meaningful look here, since she's volunteering.

"I'll speak to Hank about it, and Rogue, maybe you can stay with her in the meantime? You should have a natural rapport, I'd think." And as not to speak about her like she wasn't there, she even asks the mini-Rogue: "Do you like that idea, hanging out with your big sis here for a bit while we look for your friends?"
Ruth Aldine "No, I, yes, no, I mean," Ruth tells Tabitha, faltering at the idea. "I mean," another pause. "I don't think I - I could mess it up, probably, sorry, I."

She hugs her folded arms a little harder.

"I'm gonna throw some garbage out," Ruth continues, and despite her acting like she's totally incapable of seeing she absolutely just walks over to hoist up a bag of whatever Rogue had managed to collect to haul out, presumably to the dumpsters.

Do they have dumpsters? Or does Doop just know a guy? Mysterious questions...
Rogue "X-Babies..." Rogue says as she watches her smaller self making that pose. "Right. Sure. Okay. Why not. I mean. Of course. Naturally. You bet." She says all of this while talking with her hands, finally just slapping her thighs lightly with them.

"Cerebro. Find the others. Infiltrate Mojoverse. Kill Jabba. Then... I dunno. Maybe Mootant Town Milkshakes? That'd be a full day, I bet!"

"Come on, Tiny Rogue. I'll go find ya somethin' t'snack on in the kitchen." The older Belle says as she passes by Jean, and Ruth, glancing back on her way out.

"If we find them all, maybe we can find a tiny version'a the Blackbird, because, why the hell not, right?"
Emma Frost Lil Rogue would flop up into the air, "Sure! An yay. I wanna help the rest of us." Her cheer doesn't betray the fact that unless either telepath was scanning her mind was that she was reasonably sure the others hadn't made it out. The Mojoverse did not treat shows that were going off the air with any sort of dignity.
    "And I dun wanna get anyone in trouble. Thanks a lot for having me here. And yay! I wanna hang with big.." Her looking over at Big Rogue. "Can we big sis? Pretty please?" Her tone chipper, peppy, and vibrant. Her moving to float over then to settle on Rogue's shoulder. "To the snacks!" She would pose dramatically, then settle in for the next adventure!
Tabitha Smith "I'd like to know who the hell he's competing with that he feels his ratings aren't enough. Isn't he like the only game in town for his area?" Tabby states and finally picks herself up after doing as much picking up she can when really someone should have gone and gotten a broom and a dust pan.

"Still think he could just work re-runs and oh crap. Yeah, that'd leads to cancelations and striking the sets." she states and pinches her nose at the bridge when she realised what her ideaa could lead to, what they're trying to avoind now on a wider scale. "My room is not big enough for the whole Mojo-World. A bunch a X-Kids yeah. But tops out there." She does nod when Jean at least appreciates the suggestion. "It's kinda boom proof but yeah. Lil sis, don't have the same control big sis does. And I'm an absent minded hugger sometimes." Booms might not be a problem, waking up after is. But it suddenly feels like a few years back when Anna-Marie was just starting out and no body could.

Lil Roguie gets a smile. "You should meet Jeepers. And there's also Flurry and Jerome and the horses in the stables. There's a few cats around here. " she suggests as she finally goes for a broom to finish up and let the others not be messy since that's already taken care of.

"I still make better milkshakes!" she states.
