Emma Frost	Class is out for the day, and the sun has Westchester warm and pleasant on this Friday afternoon. The pool is open, and the grill(s) are heating up to start cooking the stacks of burgers, brats, and steaks. Someone had dragged a plastic outdoor table near the grills and had set it up with fixings and sides for the soon-to-be-charred meat. Several students have already changed into swimwear and claimed chairs and loungers with various brightly colored towels-- some already splashing in the pool, others staring longingly at the heating grills. Emma Frost is here as a guest of the younger Summers brother, dressed in a white one-piece (designer) bathing suit, the top halter-style; with a white wrap-robe coverup that has a subtle light blue and silver floral pattern over it for now. And white sandals. She peers over the collected group and grins a bit.
Alex Summers	Alex, on the other hand, is wearing swim trunks and a modestly loud Hawaiian shirt in a deep blue with a yello and orange hem showing a sunrise over an ocean, with stylized waves running back and forth over the loose yet comfy yet loud garment. Sandals on his feet currently, he's definitely dressing for the beech...and not the same one Emma dressed for necessarily. "Pretty good turnout..." he says to Emma, sipping from the beer he's acquired from..somewhere. Since they're probably only available to teachers and graduates, they may be under guard. Or simply a manner of slipping Alex a buck to access the cooler behind him.
Bobby Drake	Bobby's got on a pair of dark blue and silver board shorts and has collapsed in a comfortable sprawl in one of the lounge chairs not far from where the grilling is going on. He's got a matching towel spread out on the chair and is just soaking in the nice weather, and listening to the voices around him. He occasionally cracks open an eye to watch some of the students run by but doesn't bother to tell them not to run. He just grins, and lets his head tip back again. "This was a good idea," he comments idly.
Alison Blaire	Pool party and it's not even summer yet? Alison is so in. Ditching sandals all together, Alison comes out to join in the fun with a Johnny Was floral neoprene one piece that zips up the front. "Wow! Summer came early huh?" She calls out and looks around. Spotting Emma and Alex she wanders over that way. "Ems. Summers. Oh-I meant the season early not you." She teases and looks to her friend. "So, anything good stashed our is it soda pop with the kiddos?"
Danielle Moonstar	It might be surprising (and vastly so) to some that Dani's swimsuit is not some mundane thing or even 'standard issue black one-piece.' In fact, it could actually be termed downright attractive by some. A turquoise blue bikini that's not -quite- in the category of string bikini since the straps don't tie behind her neck but are a bit more sporty and the bottom is a little more substantial than 'barely' there is covered (at least on the lower half) by a frill-edged wrap of a matching color that would, in any other setting, be mini-skirt length and ties off at the waist. In lieu of her usual turquoise-studded belt, she's wearing a fine silver chain loosely around her abdomen that has a few sparsely arranged drops of turquoise instead. The most surprising thing, perhaps, is that Dani has actually let her hair down for this event. Literally. She's not wearing any braids and instead, her long black hair is left in waves down to her lower back. She's one of those lounging on chairs atop a gray towel emblazoned with a blue and black feather. Maybe someone got it for her as a joke. Maybe she got it for herself! She's got one bare foot planted flat on the chair, knee upright, and the other leg stretched out. In her hands is a battered old copy of The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.
Scott Summers	The pool is open. Check. The grills are clean. Check. There is enough food... maybe. Some mutants eat like hungry carnosaurs. Lately in a very literal way. He was the someone that dragged the table, too. Plastic because someone else must have 'misplaced' the high-tech folding table. He will start investigations tomorrow morning. Scott is wearing red trunks, a plan t-shirt, wraparound ruby quartz glasses and a 'Best Cook' apron. Of course, he is cooking. Because if you want something done perfectly, do it yourself. That goes double on Xavier's School of Hungry Mutants.
Henry McCoy	Never one to miss out on a meal with friends, Hank had arrived bare-footed. He's sporting a purple and orange Aloha shirt, worn with the buttons open down the front. Royal purple board shorts complete his ensemble today. He is currently stretched out on a chaise lounge, trying to get some sun. Irony. He stretches, toes wiggling and spreading as he does. "I could get used to this. Can we postpone the next few crisis, after we solve the Sauron issue?" He wonders aloud.
Emma Frost	"Sauron?" Emma asks Henry with a lifted brow. "The big eye monster from those movies with the little fat elf things and the magic invisible ring?" There's a minor hint of amusement playing at her lips. "Don't tell me there is an actual eye monster."
Piotr Rasputin	Piotr is relaxing for once, in crimson board shorts and tank top, and has a plate with a steak on it, with a burger in his hand. He is making his way back to his seat and raises the burger in a salute to Emma and Alex, as well as Scott for cooking "Thanks again!" He says as he goes by, clearly content as he takes a seat near the pool. Today is a good day. As Piotr takes his seat he begins feasting appropriately, fortunately there is a towel nearby for the imminent mess that is to ensue. Once the burger is done, the large mutant takes a look around and is at peace, for once the day is going well.
Alex Summers	"Hobbits. They're hobbits. Not elves." Alex says amusedly. "And that's going on movie night at some point." He glances to Hank curiously thought. "What Sauron thing? Do we need to take a ring to a volcano? If so, I vote Warren, because eagles would have made that trip way quicker."
Warren Worthington	Warren doesn't arrive to the pool party via normal means, nope. Being the Warren that he is, he gently glides in from above, shirtless, shoeless and only wearing a pair of navy blue sweatpants. Gliding in like this, he catches sight of Scott of all people on the grill and he calls out from above, "Scotty too hotty, do you have two mid-rare patties and a metric crap ton of bacon to be stuffed onto that burger. Also, hit me up with some of that gouda cheese bro." He flashes a grin, hears Alex talk some shit, and points, "I heard that. And I am not a mount for hobbits." He also gives Alison a friendly little wave and then he flaps his wings a few times to land rather near the food area. In a moment, it would be time for meet and greet. Right now? It was time for burgers.
James Proudstar	Jimmy Proudstar makes his way out towards the pool, with a pair of black swim trucks trimmed in sky blue (made by Speedo, not cut like a Speedo). A gray heathered tanktop that has the words "Swole Patrol est. 2017" printed on it is what he's got by way of shirt. No footwear, but he does have a pair of sunglasses on. He tosses a wave to folks as he approaches the pool enclosure, opening up the gate to allow Tabby Smith, who happens to be accompanying him on this long, long journey from the Mansion to the pool area, to step inside, before following behind. "What's good folks?" Jimmy offers up to the crowd in general.
Tabitha Smith	Indeed, there is one Tabby Smith following behind Jimmy, and she's got on sunglasses (of course), and a bathing suit (duh). The bathing suit is a black bikini, rather normal all things considered. Evidently her flamboyant taste in clothes does not translate to swimwear. "Hello party people!" She calls to those that have already arrived, lifting up a water bottle that suspiciously has OJ in it.
Scott Summers	"I hear you," replies Scott, signaling Warren. Yes, he takes orders. Don't miss this opportunity to boss the bossy boss. Besides, he is a veteran of a hundred outside barbeques, so he knows his stuff. "Are you sure the dino-transformation was caused by Sauron, Hank?" He asks aside. "Lykos was a brilliant psychiatrist, not a geneticist or... whatever you need to be to turn people into extinct animals and gorillas. He must have had help if it is him."
Alison Blaire	Looking up at Warren, Alison shakes her head a little. "Food first huh?!" She looks to Alex. "Don't feed into Emma's madness. I know Emma's seen those movies. Legolas was a snack." She notes and looks to Emma. "You're going to make the nerds cry." She winks to Emma and goes to look for something cold to drink.
Danielle Moonstar	Turning a page, Dani might be in her own little world over there on her lounge chair as she reads about fantastical things in Narnia. A place where wild adventures get wrapped up in time to return to dreary London for tea. However, she does look up and over to Scott as he speculates about Sauron. "Don't forget," she calls, with a glance to Alex and Emma, "That Maria saw two generals in her cards. A lizard -- Sauron, I presume -- and another making armies. Someone else is behind this, just as much as he. He may not be the... geneticist at work here." She does the unthinkable and dog-ears the page she's on before getting up from her chair, going into a stretch and padding across towards the grill to procure a burger before Warren eats them all.
Emma Frost	Emma blinks oh-too-innocently at Alison. "I have no idea what you're talking about." She looks at Alex. "Long nerd movies? I don't think so. Aren't those like, 10 hours long and full of descriptions of trees and whatever barrows are?" She winks at Alison.
Bobby Drake	Bobby Drake chuckles and pulls himself out of his chair long enough to get himself a drink -- soda, for the time being before he falls back into his chair again. "Kili was hot, too, though I like Aidan Turner better as a vampire than a dwarf."
Warren Worthington	"I'm hongry." Warren says to Ali before he nods to Scott and gives him a thumbs up. "Anyway, what are people talking about? Nerd movies? I saw the Hobbit movies, those were pretty good, mostly, I mean the one chick trying to bang the dwarf dude was a bit weird for my tastes, but the battle scene with the Tyrion Lannister people riding in on goats was pretty awesome."
Alex Summers	Alex raises a brow at Alison then casts a more suspicious glance Emma's way, narrowing his eyes. "Hmmmm...." Luckily he's distracted by the mention of Sauron, looking faintly confused. "So there's a psychatrist who's turning people into dinosaurs and gorillas or arranging for it to happen or something?" This is about typical for the mansion...so many crazies they've dealth with, so he just rolls with it when they come up at this point. At least it's not another time traveler.
Henry McCoy	The Beast nods to Scott. "I am. I still need to narrow down who is causing the primate shift." He comments, stretching again. "Sauron. A really smart guy who wound up getting changed by a genetic virus. He's fixated on the Savage Lands and ruling over an empire of dinosaurs." He says, with a sigh. He sits up, looking pleased. "Oh! Jean was restored to her normal form." He beams. "We had samples of her DNA pre-change, and I was able to synthesize a serum to revert the genetic transformation."
Emma Frost	Emma snappoints to Bobby. "Yes. Aiden Turner. Also. //Also.// Richard Armitage." She suddenly goes entirely straight faced. "Not that I would know anything about nerdy movies with elf-bits and eye monsters and orcs." She steals a quick kiss from Alex's cheek, then listens to the discussion about... Dr. Sauron, Dino PHD? Man, the world was filled with weirder and weirder stuff.
Alison Blaire	"Emma Frost. You are going to end up in the pool." Alison laughs and shakes her head. Looking at Warren, Alison lifts her shoulders. "I can't imagine why you might be. I'm certain you live in a place with plenty of food available." She wanders over to the edge of the pool and sits so she can dangle her feet in the water. Leaning back on her hands she looks back to Alex and mouths "She's seen it." Emma gets a crooked grin. "Say, Emmers. What was that one guy's name? Super fabulous outfits, and the crown that went around the back of his head? I mean, just the prettiest guy."
Bobby Drake	Bobby Drake asks Emma, "Have you seen him in Being Human? So good." He takes a sip of his soda and glances over at those talking about the dinosaurs and Sauron, listening in. "What about Gabby and Laura? Are they still dinosaurs?" He looks over at the grill, checking out what is being prepared, and finally decides to go get himself a plate, taking one of the brats and some mustard as well as some sides, potato salad, the like, before returning to his chair and settling cross-legged on it with his plate balanced on one knee.
Scott Summers	"There is more than that in Lykos," comments Scott. "The transformation affected his brain. When he is human, he is still a good man. But when he shifts... something goes wrong," he shrugs. That is a problem for Hank, really. Lykos mutant gen got altered by a weird virus, or something. "Alright, so. The Professor is back, we can ask him to scan the Savage Land for Lykos and send a team to see what the hell is Sauron doing." Yes, Emma expression tells all. Now Scott has to wonder if Alex has told her about crazy professor 'I am the Living Monolith' yet.
Rahne Sinclair	What does one do when the need for socializing is balanced by a need for satisfying moral self-imposed obligations? Well, if you are Rahne, you show up to a pool party....and not actually be wearing a swimming suit. Then again, with Rahne, it may actually be her prefer swimming ensemble. Which consists of surfing leggings that could work as a pair of workout pants, a thicker t-shirt (with hints of her usual combat suit showing underneath, and as usual no socks. It does appear that Rahne has actually no intention of getting into the water.     She does manage to get at least into the general social circle, rather discretely, but hangs on that outer edge for the moment. There is certainly an internal debate going on, as she paces slowly. But...it appears that the need for socialization may win out. Any second now.
Emma Frost	Emma shakes her head, sliding an arm around Alex's waist. She glances to Bobby. "I haven't, but I will check it out." She frowns a bit. "The Savage Lands? I thought that was a myth. Or a joke. You're saying there's actually dino-island out there?"
James Proudstar	Jimmy moves over and tosses the towel he has over his shoulder onto one of the unclaimed lounge chairs, which conveniently has another available next to it. He's exceptionally glad for the shades because it would be a lie if he didn't notice Dani's determined march to go acquire a burger. But he peels them off soon enough, looking back to Tabitha and asking, "You want me to grab you something to eat?"
Henry McCoy	"Quite real. Quite dangerous, indeed." He assures Emma. "Dinosaurs and thick jungle vegetation. Very... primordial." Beast comments, sitting up. "He's come after the X-Men before, several times." The furry guy shakes his head. "I don't know that this is selective to just us, however."
Danielle Moonstar	It's a rule of Xavier's that if you don't procure food early on, you run the risk of getting no food at all. Or at least not having freedom of choice. And as Dani knows she's not in Team Eat Everything, she likes having choices. So the woman gets in line to have her cheeseburger with bacon. Running a hand through her hair -- free of braids, gasp! -- to sweep it back and away from her face, she casts a look around and spots a redhead. Lifting that hand, she casts a wave to Rahne, turning it into a gesture for her friend to join them.
Alex Summers	"Well, that would explain where they got the dino DNA..." Alex says, sliding his arm absently around Emma to hug her against his side lightly. "But that's great that you've got a cure figured out already! I mean...though I guess if you need a pre-dino DNA thing, that'll limit how much that particular cure can be used for everyone you don't have the sample for."
Alison Blaire	Looking at Emma, Alison grins. "And you think we're weird!" She waggles her brows. "At least some of these folk are on hand to save the day!" She remarks and hoists herself off the edge of the pool where she sits and into the water.
Piotr Rasputin	Once Piotr finishes off his steak, he rises from his chair and elects to join the others, partly because the steak is gone, and also because there are people over there. He keeps his towel on the chair to mark it as his own before departing. After going back over to the table, Piotr gets a can of pop for himself, and looks to Jimmy, "Wait, when did we get tank tops?" His voice betrays his surprise, so surprised that he does not remember to get his food.
Tabitha Smith	"Nah. I'll eat in a bit, I think I might just lay here and get some sun." And probably turn bright red in the process. Because, let's be real, she is real pale. The water bottle full of OJ is set down beneath the chair that she's claiming as hers, next to the chair Jimmy claimed, making sure that it is in the shade before she drops into the chair. The sunglasses get grabbed and tugged down her nose so that she can look at him over the rims, "But later, you, me. Pool." The sunglasses then get pushed back up into place before she settles in to lounge, flashing a smile before she lowers her voice some, "You think..." But then she clamps down on whatever it was she was going to say when a TEACHER shows up. "Hi!"
Rahne Sinclair	It seems that the urge of socialization has won out. Rahne makes her way over towards the group in general...and Dani in particular. Of course, that plus the lure of food does wonders for introverts. The shorter female pads over soundlessly, courtesy of bare feet, as a smile is flashed to her friend. There isn't an initial verbal greeting, initially...but there is definitely a welcomed feeling from the Scot.     Of course, as Rahne walks by, talk of dino DNA gets a look. That isn't normal conversation with a pool party. But, hey...this isn't probably the normal pool party crowd.
James Proudstar	"Heh, yeah Coach, you're out of uniform." Jimmy chides Piotr lightly, "Rogue's idea. Pretty sure she's got a couple for you. Maybe a baseball cap, too." He explains, before looking back to Tabby and nodding with a grin, "You bet." He actually leans down and gives Tabby a brief smooch, murmuring something to her quietly before he straightens and jerks a thumb towards the grill: "I'm gonna grab something to eat before it disappears." Or maybe MAKE it disappear given how much Jimmy can throw down on some food.
Illyana Rasputina	Something about self-imposed obligations and socializing in the air? Obligations perhaps square weirdly with 'Demon Queen' or 'teenager,' but occasionally the chance to chill out on a pool deck in the worst time of year for predictable weather sounds promising. Doesn't it? Well, she has roller skates to make it better, and the necessary socks, gliding through one of those flash-fire portals like she was here all along. Totally was! Cue the Russian blonde cutting an impressive figure wearing a black swimsuit with a hell of a plunge banished in sixteen different nations. Possibly because she robbed a Brazilian or someone on Bondi to get it. She doesn't bother with jeans or with shorts, because everyone knows what her usual combat uniform is. Or if they don't, they don't know why the High Priest of Yeet has that title. Swiveling around, she waves to Rahne and Dani, her fellow teammates easy to spot. "Evening, da?" Several pointy hairpins pierce her upswept bun, just as vicious as throwing knives as they are as sticks keeping the bun in place. She meanders after Piotr to see what he is after, obtaining food being a familiar enough activity that even Yana can figure it out. Of course, he might wrap her up in burlap and yeet the trees out of the way to bury her somewhere. It absolutely does not help her idea of a tunic is literally just made up of silvery snowflakes and no more substance than the average spiderweb. In fact, the spider probably wants that iridescent webbing back.
Alison Blaire	Swimming about idly, Alison considers the gathering for a bit where she floats in the water. She's in no rush for food, think of all the calories! Spotting Hank lounging she swims to the edge of the pool and rests her arms on the side. Stretching out her fingers she carefully lays a hologram of a dinosaur over his figure and waits for him to open his eyes.
Emma Frost	"Should everyone give samples of correct DNA in case something goes wrong?" Emma asks with a lifted brow. "I don't think I would want to be a dinosaur or anything." She shudders a bit, snuggling against Alex. "Mm. Ali-- I need to talk to you later, about that collaboration we discussed a bit?"
Alex Summers	Alex hmms, then asks. "If you two want to chat privately, I can go get us some food?" he offers, looking between Emma and Ali as she bobs in the water nearby. "I mean, from the look of it I better get at least burgers before Warren devours all the bacon."
Danielle Moonstar	"Eat something," Dani tells Rahne with a smile. But not her food! Once Dani has her plate, she steps clear of the line so that others can get theirs. This brings her within range of James and Piotr's conversation and she gives a look between them. A look to the shirt. And she decides: "I want a hat." Sure, she's not Swole Patrol, but... But those hats. Please. Picking up her burger, she stuffs it in her mouf and starts over to the cooler to grab a soda, burger in mouf not //quite// chomping through. It's a good look, really.
Alison Blaire	"He's going to get fat now that we're dating." Alison sighs at Alex and looks to Emma. "When ever you want to chat boss lady. I'm an outlook meeting scheduler away." She teases a bit and keeps most of her focus on dinosaur hologram Hank.
Rahne Sinclair	Compared to Illyana's ensemble, Rahne is downright homely. Which, oddly enough, seems to set Rahne at ease. Somehow. Maybe it is because she realizes that the more attention to her friend, the less Rahne herself will have to worry about. Illy does get a wave, then the redhead turns to Dani with that slightly lopsided smile of hers. "Don't ye worry none. Ah plan on eatin'." The smell of the burgers? Yeah...that may also have a staying effect.     Since, you know, teenagers do tend to think with their stomachs at times. Like this.
Henry McCoy	Hank had just closed his eyes for a moment after Scott left, basking in the warmth of the sun. Another cat-like stretch, then a yawn. Slowly, his eyes open to see ... a dinosaur. Normally, he'd attack! But with students having been transformed, he opts for the far less graceful. A startled squawk, followed by a roll and a somersault away. "Who? Who is that?!"
Tabitha Smith	Of course smooches are returned, and accompanied by a bright smile and a shrug of her shoulders. Then Tabby spots Illyana and she shoots a hand up into the sky to wave at her, "Illy!" YOOO HOOOO. As soon as she's satisfied that she's probably been noticed she turns a look upwards at Dani, "If they don't give you a hat, we'll make them."
Alison Blaire	Covering her mouth, Alison stifles a laugh and ducks her head under the water as Hank rolls out of his chair. Doing a victory wiggle, the dino vanishes and she peeks just her eyes and nose above the water in her best innocent face.
Piotr Rasputin	"This is suitable," Piotr says with a nod, "Merchandising is important." He laughs and takes a drink and says to Dani. "I doubt Rogue ordered more than three hats, or at least we can order more if there is enough interest?" He shrugs and looks to Jimmy, "And yeah, I'll take a hat and tank top." Illyana's arrival gets a wave, before turning to the others he is speaking with, "Good turnout, it seems."
Warren Worthington	Two double bacon burgers downed, Warren is ready to mingle! And so he makes his way in the direction of the pool and Alison. Patting his stomach he lets out a satisfied sigh. "I'll hand it to Scott. He can actually put together some tasty burgers. I might have another one before this little party is over. Flying is hungry work." He turns around and looks at the crowd of gathered mutants and scratches his chin. "We need a bunch of hot tubs around here."
The Stepford Cuckoos	"So you'll let me see your notes for Math class later?" Of the five identical blondes who have approached the swimming pool one is hcatting animatedly with a tall young redheaded woman who is somewhat flusteredly smiling as she replies in short affirmatives. The others roll their eyes simultaneously.     The Cuckoos have arrived in blue one piece swimming attire and matching sarongs, their blonde hair pulled back from their faces with matching simple azure scrunchies. They fan out as they reach the poolside, surveying all those present with quiet, self-satisfied smiles. Then another of the CUckoos peels off.     The remaining three appear to be triumphant, their attitudes proclaiming them queens of their surroundings. But now that they are three it seems the momentum is bleeding off. Ultimately, they end up swarming the remaining burgers.
Illyana Rasputina	Somewhere, there is dinner. Somewhere happens to have Piotr in the way, but she can circle around him to steal some kind of bread product. No need for hot dogs, since those are not any more real than her age is. The hint of a smirk shows when she snatches the unattended bun. <<Tag. You are it,>> she tells him in Russian and then rolls swiftly away to wave to Rahne. "What did I miss?" She isn't terribly prone to tripping on the grass, though once still, the cold has surprisingly little effect on hastening her along. Spotting Tabby requires turning, wrenching around to find the blonde and Jimmy beside her. "You!" Finger-wiggles. She takes her triumph bun and picks her route that we some kind of care. "No one swims? Do we need to be somewhere else?"
Henry McCoy	As the dino disappears, Beast narrows his eyes. Scanning the cookout, he finally spots the barely above water Alison. "Normally, I would throw you in the pool for such pranks." He laughs, shaking his head. The Aloha shirt is tugged off, tossed onto the chaise he had just vacacted. "Instead, you shall suffer the wrath of the cannonball!" Hank bolts towards the pool, leaping in and curling into a ball. Yep. Four hundred pounds of blue, furry cannonball kersplooshes near Alison.
Alison Blaire	"You need a hot tub." Alison points out as a slash of water covers her. Sputtering, she shakes her head and swims back to the edge so she can climb out. Ringing out her hair she grins at Warren. "Maybe I'll buy a country villa near here." She considers and looks back to the water and Hank. Leaning over, she sticks out her tongue. "Nyah! Let your guard down!"
Emma Frost	"Aii!" Emma lightly yelps, burying her face in Alex's shoulder as they get coated in water. "Ack!" It's a good thing she hasn't gotten food yet. Though she looks amused more than anything else.
Bobby Drake	Bobby Drake shakes his head and grins as he watches Hank, but then there's the cannonball. The splash is impressive, and he quickly turns to try and keep his plate from getting soaked. Most of the water soaks his back and hair, the remainder of his food mercifully unsoaked. Victory!
Warren Worthington	"Wha..." Warren looks to Hank as the big fuzzy doc announces that it was time for a cannonball. "Oh no." And then it hits and even he is splashed with water. "Damn it, Hank, these pants were made in Italy!" Because only Warren would be extra enough to have designer active wear. "Alison, why did you make Hank do the cannonball?" A pause. "Though yeah, a country villa sounds nice, but I also wonder if I can give the Professor some cash to build a hot tub."
James Proudstar	"Gonna have to talk to Rogue. She got 'em, but I doubt she'll tell you no." Jimmy replies to Dani's request, "The tank tops we may have to reserve, for the patrol, though." He shifts ever-so-slightly so that he and Piotr end up blocking Tabitha from getting splashed, even if his back ends up fairly drenched. Which just means the tank-top gets pulled off and draped over the back of the chair to dry while he moves over to get some food, but with the Cuckoo swarm seizing the small mountain of Burgers, Jimmy says a somewhat quiet "Excuse me, ladies," as he moves by them, to acquire a large hunk of steak and no less than three brats. Makes for a decent light snack anyway, which shouldn't give him any problem if he's in the pool later.
Alex Summers	Alex laughs a bit as he's caught in the splash from Beast's revengeball! "That's an nice trick, woulda fooled me too.." he compliments Ali as he watches the chaos, laughing a bit as the splash drenches...well lots. Though the swarm of identical blondes entering the area does draw his attention, his brow furrowing curiously. "Huh, haven't seen them before...."
Danielle Moonstar	Once she has a soda, the Cheyanne woman finally takes a proper bite from her burger and balances drink and plate. "I like the way she thinks," Dani tells Piotr, pointing at Tabitha. Still, she grins at the big Russian. Thankfully, she's enough out of range of the cannonball that she just gets a leetlebit of splash... but then, in that bikini she's at least dressed for it. It's just her food she's afraid of! So she just holds that out of the way with a laugh. She makes her way back to her chair, dropping down to sit with her food.
Laura Kinney	The smell of roasiting meat has attracted a wild Lauraptor. The girl makes her way to the food table, assembling a burger as well as she can without opposable thumbs... Before simply tossing it into her mouth and wolfing the thing down whole. One upside to her current state: Much larger mouth makes for more efficient eating.
Henry McCoy	Resurfacing with a grin, Hank looks mighty pleased with himself. "I did not. I was resting my eyes." He says, harumphing to Alison. "I was fully cognisant." Liar. A grin to the others, caught in the splash. "Pool party. You eat, you get wet." Sage nod. To Warren's outrage, he grins. "I am sure they have water in Italy." Then he's stretching out, floating on his back comfortably as his hands wave in the water.
Tabitha Smith	The splashing gets a tensing, but when Jimmy takes the brunt of it she just flashes him a smile, "Thanks." Then Tabby starts to haul herself up to her feet, a hand raising up to push her sunglasses upwards onto the top of her head, "I'm sure that Rogue would give you a hat, but I'm just saying." There's a wink tossed in Dani's direction before she lets her attention wander towards the pool, sizing up the distance and how large a bomb might need to be to splash the pair in the water without displacing ALL the water. Such complicated math.
Rahne Sinclair	"Didnae miss much, Illy." Well, at least it is true for Rahne. She hasn't done a whole lot except to get a burger, which she is now protecting from getting wet by hovering over it. She doesn't care too much if she gets wet...but you just don't get a burger bun wet. That is blasphemy of the highest order.     As Rahne straightens up, she catches sight of a raptor going for a burger. And...does not seem too surprised by this, apart from the widening of the eyes and an involuntary step backwards. Then again, Rahne witnessed a dino transformation...so maybe she is used to it. Or...maybe it is because, hey, things like this happen.     At least, at this school.
Alison Blaire	Leaning into Warren still dripping from the pool she grins up at him. "There. Less to complain about." She beams and looks over to Alex. "Thanks. I don't just do the lights for my shows. I'm really trying to expand those skills out." She admits and looks to Emma. "What do you think? Country Estate? We could have sleepovers like the old days." She offers in a sing song tone.
Piotr Rasputin	Piotr raises a brow at his sister and shakes his fist at her, "Well done!" He says in mock anger. He finishes his pop and is about to comment on ordering more hats to Dani before he is suddenly splashed, from an angle he did not see coming. "Well," Piotr sighs, "That happened." The Russian looks to the pool, "Apparently mischief has begun."
Emma Frost	"Country estate... mmm." Emma glances to Alex and grins. "We could go on a vacation once you finish that dissertation of yours. You'll need a nice, long time for some private fun." She gives him a wicked look, the looks to Alison. "So we can maybe look into doing something like that in a few weeks? You can have quiet place to work on new songs."
Warren Worthington	"Well, yes, they do Hank, but that is hardly the point. You're going to inspire other such behavior from the youth who look up to you." Warren points at Piotr. "What if he does it next? Slippery slope man, slippery slope!" He grins over at Ali and wraps an arm around her and without looking at Hank, he dips a wing into the water and splashes a little at the doc. "Sleep overs, hrm, I guess. I could have a sleep over at my place in New York. I can have a bunch of pizza and wings brought in. Let's see what people think of it." He turns and shouts, "Hey Piotr, how do you feel about pizza and wings and a weekend party."
Illyana Rasputina	Illyana watches the madcap shenanigans behind her and shakes her head. The bun she swiped she puts down on the nearest flat surface, most likely someone's forgotten table. "Da? It seems I did." Not that it bothers her, but her blank mirror stare takes in cannonballs and water in the air. "I don't think I am a good fit for..." She raises her shoulder a fraction. "This. Not anymore. Do svidaniya, Rahne. Piotr." That's that, as she picks a path better suited to escapism, halting briefly to remove her boots. Off she goes, venturing to the depths of the forest rather than the school.
The Stepford Cuckoos	The Cuckoos shift out of the way to allow others to access the food only grudgingly, having come away with a series of neatly stacked plates crucluthed agiast their stomachs. They seem to be fine with how this has worked out... Right to the moment when one of the girls turns and sees the Lauraptor beside them. The slender blonde lets out a yelp - and ends up tossing (or spilling) a plate of burgers directly at the enormous saurian.     Elsewhere, the Cuckoo who was finessing homework help out of a classmate lets out a sharp cry of alarm. Chaos is afoot. Lunches have been lost.
Alison Blaire	Nodding to Emma, Alison rolls her eyes. "I was going to sing Wings here a new song I'm working on but he thought that sounded arduous." She sighs and gives one of Warren's feathers a wiggle. "I didn't think you ate wings." She teases as he splashes Hank.
Sam Guthrie	Sam Guthrie walks along around the house. Since they oked Guests, and Jean had met Alexis, today he brought her so she can see the school, and maybe met some more of his friends. He has a pair of blue shorts on and a lighter blue tank top on. He holds Alexis' hand as they come near the pool.
Laura Kinney	Dinosaurs lack eyebrows. Somehow, Laura still manages to give the Cuckoos an exasperated '/REALLY?/' look. Disassembled burgers have slid off her face, and she is now left dripping in condiments. "...I knew this would happen." Her voice is rough, the pronunsciation slightly off, but unmistakably a person. Leaning over, Laura collects the burger patties themselves. Vegetables don't work as well with her new digestive system at the moment anyway. "Would you like to throw anything else at me, or may I keep eating?"
Warren Worthington	"I don't!" Warren says to Ali, "But I'm not gonna deny people food they enjoy, I'm no fuddy duddy." He glances between her and Emma and tilts his head. "But I wanted to do other things. I still want to hear ballads of my deeds song to me!"
Henry McCoy	Beast is amused at the splash from Warren. "See? Duck wings." He comments, snickering. "Not eagle wings." He rolls to the side, swimming towards the edge to climb out. Upon spotting Laura, he smiles. "Laura... we might be able to help you. I spoke with Logan after returning Jean to her natural state." A nod. "You don't happen to have any samples of your DNA from prior to the change, do you?" All science, this guy. A closer look would certainly show that he's been burning the midnight oil to come up with some sort of solution.'
The Stepford Cuckoos	"...Oh. You surprised me." The girl who threw the burger at least has the grace to look sheepish, while the others turn to stare daggers at her in unison. This done they disperse to allow the Lauraptor retrieve her food, ending up in a cluster near the edge of the pool while they eat and prepare to swim. Mischief managed, apparently.
Alison Blaire	"Are you part duck?" Ali gasps and puts a hand to her mouth as she looks at Warren. Her eyes wander briefly. "Maybe we shouldn't...you know. Those plans later." She stage whispers and leans back a little as she fights to keep a grin off her face. Her eyes slide briefly past to Laura, but Hank is handling it and he's staff.
Alexis Carr	Dinos to the left of me. Gorillas to the right, here Allegra Caradenza -- more locally known as Sam's girlfriend Alexis Carr, hung back. You would think someone who was a world-class ballet dancer would not be afraid to go out to a pool party, but she was suddenly at the school, with Sam, and a whole host of people and good *God* that was Warren Worthington.     So, a little les than stidently confident, she steps out towards the pool area wearing red flip-flops and a sarong -- and a light jacket. Her swimsuit was currently hidden.     "I think I have the right address --" she calls out.
Laura Kinney	Laura sighs, tossing the remaining burgers into her mouth. Gulp. Aaaand they're gone. Not even an apology. She turns back to Hank, tilting her head to one side. "...Would bloodied socks work? Generally I try to get the stains out, but socks wear out too fast. I buy in bulk." And there's a dedicated trash can full of them at her apartment currently. ordinarily, they'd be burned every once in a while, but she hadnt' had the chance to do that lately.
Emma Frost	"Alexis!" Emma waves to the girl as she joins them. "Alison, this is... who I mentioned earlier." She glances to Dazzler. "Alexis, I told you that we could get you a face to face with Dazzler." She gestures towards them both, and smugly slips out of her coverup. It's wet now anyway. "Alex, hon, wanna get in the water?"
James Proudstar	"No bombs." Jimmy notes to Tabitha as he moves by her, on his way to sit down in the chair he has claimed, "We need to keep /some/ of the water in the pool, right?" And that having been said, he sets to chowing down on his food. Keep hands away, you might lose fingers. Still, he offers up a wave to Alexis, being among those here that at least met her that one time.
Sam Guthrie	Sam Guthrie looks over a brow raised at Emma talking to Alexis, but he smiles to Alexis. "Yea, this is the school, a few folks are away at a con, but this is a large section of the folks who either go here, or went here in the past." He waves a hand to folks.
Alex Summers	"Sure, sounds great..." Alex responds, reaching up to unbutton his Hawaiian shirt, sliding it off and setting it on a nearby empty chair so it's hopefully safe from completely soaking and can dry a bit from the earlier cannonball. Boy works out, from the muscular definition he's got. He promptly scoops Emma up as she sheds her coverup, walking her over to the pool. "You first?" he says innocently.     Then drops her in the water next to Alison.
Alison Blaire	Brightening, Alison slips out of Warren's arm to look at Alexis at Emma's introduction. "Hi! Dazzler." The swimsuit clad blond grins and offers her hand. "And of course this is Warren." She gestures. The edge of the pool is soooo close. As Alex hoists Emma into the water, Alison sighs. "Sorry babe." She gives him a strong enough nudge towards the pool to throw his balance off.
Tabitha Smith	"Whaaat?" Tabitha asks, glancing at James with an innocent look, then she sighs before she throws herself down onto the chair, pulling her sunglasses back down over her eyes. "I'm only doing this because I like you." It's said with a small amount of grumpiness before she glances towards the new arrivals, a hand lifting to toss a two-fingered hello in Sam and Alexis' direction.
Warren Worthington	Chest glistening from the remnants of Beast's cannonball, Warren stands with an arm around Alison and conversing with others around him. That's when Emma calls out to Alexis, and he turns to spot her and Sam. His eyes narrow a little at Alexis as if recognizing her briefly, but he flashes a bright smile and nods. "Dazzy is right, I'm Warren. Nice to see you here. Sam, how you doin'? Glad to see you out and about. You both should grab some burgers and enjoy yourselves. We're all happy friends here." He beams his best smile.
Bobby Drake	Bobby's phone buzzes from where he'd stashed it by his chair and he goes to pick it up, reading the message on the screen, and after a moment or two, grabs his towel and slings it over his shoulder. He lifts a hand in a wave to those gathered and then wanders off, making a quick call as he heads back into the mansion.
Alexis Carr	"Oh! Yes, hello, ah, most would know me by Alexis, here." she gives a little wave to Tabitha in return, and watches as Emma gets tossed in the pool, giving a slight smile, and she turns to Warren, giving a genuine smile.     "Mr. Worthington, it's a pleasure to meet your acquaintence -- and I assure you, we are all friends here." she gives as charming smile as she can manage.     "Sam is, in fact, trying to get me to attend classes here."
Henry McCoy	Beast hauls himself out of the pool, blue fur soaked through. He pauses as he regards Laura. "Yes... I believe it would." He taps a claw against his chin. "Don't suppose Gabby has any such materials?" He asks, looking to the Laura-Raptor. "I could be able to get you both fixed up, right as rain."
Emma Frost	Emma lets out a startled yelp as she's dropped into the water. She surfaces. "ALEX!" she sputters, wiping her face, her hair clinging to her face and scalp. "Wait until you get in, mister. I will //drown// you." She's joking, mostly. She will probably do her damnedest to dunk him, muscles or no.
Danielle Moonstar	The arrival of the raptor making a burger doesn't seem to phase Dani at all. Seems she's experienced it before! Instead, the woman (with her hair down, gasp!) in the turquoise bikini with matching wrap-around skirt returns to her lounge chair and settles in with burgers and soda, stretching out. She sets the soda in the grass next to her, balances plate on her leg, and picks back up her book -- Voyage of the Dawn Treader -- she does look up and offers a wave towards Sam and his girlfriend, but seems to be taking the opportunity to eat.
Alison Blaire	Letting Alexis focus on Warren, Alison looks at Emma and puts her hand over her chest. "Ah, to be young." She sighs, like she hadn't just tried to knock Warren in. Looking to Sam she offers a hand. "Hi Sam. Dazzler."
Laura Kinney	Laura eyes the new arrival, sniffing the air a little to get her scent. ...Yep, She is definitely familiar with who this is. And she'll be keeping an eye on her. And a nose.     Back to Hank. "You would have to ask her. They are in a can in my house in Harlem. I cannot drive right now for... Obvious reasons." ...She might be able to ride a motorcycle. But that would probably attract too much attention. "She does not fight as much as I do. I try to protect her."
Sam Guthrie	Sam Guthrie will go through the list pointing out who is who to Alexis for those she has not met . "Warren and Hank are two of the earlier students who went here, like Jean." He will add about them. He asks Alexis "Want me to grab you some food and drink?"
Alex Summers	Alex cackles a bit, then simply hops in the pool with a splash, dunking under the water then coming back up as he brushes his wet hair otu of his face. "Going to drown me, huh?" he says with a challenging grin at Emma as he treads water. He raises a hand to greet the newcomers. "Hey Sam, Alexis! Didn't know you were coming..."
Warren Worthington	"Good, good, yes this is a very friendly place. I'm glad Sam brought you around to meet all the friendly folks who are here." Warren offers Alexis a grin, and then belatedly finally loses his balance and falls backwards into the pool to follow Alex and Emma, making a big splash and going under for a moment before coming back up to the surface and shaking his head.
Alison Blaire	Kneeling, Alison offers Warren a hand. "You look good wet, Wings." She grins and bites at her lip briefly. "Forgive me?" She asks and looks to Emma and Alex to make sure she hasn't managed to drown him.
Alexis Carr	"Does it mean I can stay away from the dinosaur staring at me?" Alexis asks very quietly of Sam, "It's... she's making me more than a little nervous." she whispers to the Kentuckian, looks to the wet bodies in the pool, and poor Alison being the only one to help.     So she does what every good new friend might do. She walks by Alison, and gives her a bit of a hip-check to attempt to get her into the pool as well!
Henry McCoy	A wry smile to Laura, nodding. "We can get there, if you are comfortable with telling us where it is?" He suggests. "We'll get you sorted out. I promise." The man offers over, following the gaze of Laura. Once he recognizes the woman, his posture changes as well. "Just let me know when, Laura."
Emma Frost	Emma jumps on Alex's back, not very effectively trying to pull him under. It is NOT very effective. At all. Mostly, she's basically piggy backing on him. She pouts at Alison. "He's not drowning like he is supposed to," she points out, obviously annoyed. She reaches under his arm with one hand and tries tickling him.
Warren Worthington	Warren takes Alison's offered hand, and then pulls her. Just as Alexis is hipchecking her! "This will teach you, Alison Blaire!"
Laura Kinney	"Logan knows the address. And has a spare key." That's because it was his place until very recently, but Laura's not about to bring it up. She eyes the pool party, before giving Hank a nod and starting to head towards the buffet table again. "You may go when you wish. Just do not touch my things other than the sock bin." ...Oh hey, ice cream. A quart is claimed for raptorkind, and Laura heads off to somewhere she'll cause less screaming.
James Proudstar	Jimmy had food. "Had" is indeed in past tense. Almost as soon as acquired, it's gone. And that having happened, he rises to his feet and glances to Tabby, "You ready to go in?" He offers a hand, just in case.
Alison Blaire	"Whup!" Alison yelps as she's levered from two sides back into the water. With an inelegant splash she swims deep and puts some space between herself and the others before coming up with a laugh. "Alright, but Alex started it." she gestures to the man Emma is climbing on like a monkey.
Sam Guthrie	Sam Guthrie will nod and goes over to put a plate together for him and Alexis. He looks to Laura, and says "Her dad's an ass, but she is good people." He tells her to try to help ease some of the tension, before Laura is gone.
Alex Summers	Alex acks as he's tackled by Emma, squirming as he tries to keep his place in the water as he lets out a laugh, then yelps as he's tickled, squirming furiously. "Hey, tickling is not fair!" he protests, reaching back to try and return the favor with a free hand! He grins as Warren attempts to tug Alison right back in with Alexis' help!
Danielle Moonstar	Dani is still eating. And reading. Burger in mouf, she juggles her book to turn a page before going back to the burger so she can chew.
Tabitha Smith	"Yeah." Tabby replies, reaching up to take the offered hand before she hauls herself up to her feet, using that anchor that is Jimmy. Then she reaches up a hand to tug at the ponytail holder in her hair, pulling it down before tossing it onto her chair, "Last one in is a rotten egg."
Emma Frost	"Manhandling your girlfriend isn't fair either!" Emma protests, continuing to tickle. "//Rude//." Okay, so she normally doesn't mind being manhandled by Alex, and her tone definitely reflects that, but tormenting the younger Summers brother is fun and educational. Or something.
James Proudstar	"Uh-huh" Jimmy replies oh-so-casually to Tabitha before "helping" her into the pool with a tiny little nudge. "Guess you win." He notes with a mischievous grin, before moving to just "hop" into the pool beside Tabitha.
Warren Worthington	"You deserved it!" Warren calls over to Alison, grinning and swimming to the side of the pool, glancing over at Alex and Emma as he does. "These ladies, Alex, they're going to get us into so much trouble aren't they? Fun trouble. Good trouble, but a lot of trouble." Reaching the edge of the pool, he pulls himself out of the pool, stretches his wings out, and flaps them a few times to dry them out as best he can.
Piotr Rasputin	Piotr is relieved that further mischief has not ensued. When the others begin jumping in the pool, he takes off his tanktop and makes the wise choice to not take his metal form, mostly to preserve the integrity of the pool, and makes the poor choice of electing to make the extremely poor choice of going to the deeper end of the pool and contributes a cannonball to hopefully catch somebody off-guard.
Alex Summers	Alex is forced into helpless laughter as Emma continues her attack, squirming as he tries to dislodge her desperately. "I can't help it if you're travel sized and easily carryable!" he ripostes, then simply dunks down into the water with Emma included to try and throw her off before resurfacing with a splash! "Hah...they already get us into trouble..." he says amusedly to Warren. "We just put up with it. For some reason...."
Alison Blaire	Watching Warren shake out his wings, Alison smiles like a dummy. She treads water a little longer just looking at him. After a moment, she swims over and starts pulling herself out of the water. He and Alex's banter makes her chuckle and she shrugs. "I can't help if you think I'm trouble War. I'm just a sparkles and fluff."
Alexis Carr	"All women are trouble, we just have to find the best output for it." Alexis comments to Alison as she occupies a nearby lounge chair, till in her sarong and jacket as she stretche her fingers a moment, steepling her fingers a brief moment as she gives a little grin.
Henry McCoy	Henry steps away from the others, shaking himself off as well - careful not to douse other people with the motion. No way his fur will get dry with a towel alone. "I'll check with him shortly, Laura." He offers, grabbing a towel to dab at his face and ears. "I will let you know as soon as the serum is ready. I have to say, it is going to hurt like before." He offers, apologetically.
Tabitha Smith	It's not like James has to try hard to push her into the pool. It's also not like Tabby was expecting it, even though she probably should expect this kind of stuff by now. But she doesn't. So into the water she goes with a startled scream before she hits the water and goes under it. Once she resurfaces there is a sputtering laugh, "No fair!"
Danielle Moonstar	Buried in her book, Dani does not see Piotr's cannonball coming. Because her chair is near the deeper end of the pool. Which means she ends up splashed on. Thankfully she's finished her burger. Unfortunately, it does mean she's now splattered with water and she's left shouting a "HEY" and shaking out the book before dropping it aside and staring out at the pool area with a look of 'well now what.'
Warren Worthington	"True, very true." Warren says, "We definitely put up with it." And then he grins at Alison. "Sparkles, Fluff, and TROUBLE. I'm on to you." Then Piotr destroys everything with hs cannonball, and he gets splashed and wet all over again. "Damn it, Piotr." He flutters his wings dry -once again-.
Sam Guthrie	Sam Guthrie looks over and will bring the food and two drinks over towards Alexis. He looks up at the cannonball, and hmmms softly "Should I?" He will ask Alexis as he motions towards the splash.
Alison Blaire	Watching Warren's wings, Alison smiles contentedly before looking back to Alexis. "Oh yeah. Sorry. Totally distracted with-" She gestures to her friends in the pool. "I'm working on some new songs. Emmers suggest you might be open to working with me on a number?" She leans on her hands idly. "I might bully her into a gig at her club."
Emma Frost	Emma lets go of Alex as he dunks them both, sputtering again! She surfaces, and pushes him. "Aii, Alex. You. Sooooo dead. So. Dead." She's grinning though. In enough time to get drenched again by Piotr's cannonball. She sighs. "Why did I let you convince me to come here?" she teases Alex, treading water closer to him and stealing a kiss.
Alex Summers	Alex shifts forward a bit, pressing back into Emma until he can get his feet under him and just slide his hands under her to support her as he nips back. "Because you don't get out and have fun nearly enough and if I let you you'd work constantly." he says dryly, smiling at her. "You love it and you know it."
Henry McCoy	Once his face is sufficiently dried, Henry offers a wave to those present. "Take care all, back to the lab with me." He smiles, taking his shirt and towel with him.
Sam Guthrie	Sam Guthrie looks over and smiles to the group "So, Anything interesting been going on?
Alison Blaire	Still looking to Alexis, Alison smiles. "Warren asked me out, Emma and I are getting villas next to each other....mmmn, Henry danced at a sexy night club....usual stuff Sam."
Emma Frost	Emma grins at Alison. "Warren asked you? I would have so not guess that's how that went down," she laughs. And splashes Alex in the face. For reasons. "I missed the dancing? That makes me even more bitter about the other night."
Alex Summers	"There will be other chances....wait, you're buying a villa?" Alex says curiously. "Moving out of your apartment at the HFC?" He looks over to Sam. "Mm, new job, finalizng dissertation, which is kinda why I'm here because I reaaaaaally needed to get out of the apartment for a bit." he admits, then sputters as Emma splashes him.
James Proudstar	"Something, something love and war?" Jimmy replies to Tabitha's protests of unfairness, grinning as he treads water just a few feet away, having dropped into the deep end.
Alison Blaire	Spinning around, Ali's eyes widen and she looks at Emma. "He totally did!" She plants her hands on the edge of the pool and beams. "We skipped dinner and went straight to dessert-you know? And then in a moment of weakness Warren asked if I'd be his girl." She looks back to Warren presumably still drying his wings. "So now he's mine." She sighs and looks towards the other swimmers curiously before looking to Alex and nodding soberly. "With connecting backyards and a covered pool house so we can swim and not get too tanned." Which reminds her. She sits up and looks at her arms critically and up at the sun. "Might be time to cover up."
Sam Guthrie	Sam Guthrie looks over to them and says "I am considering a new job path but still not 100% sure, it will be some special schooling if I do.
Warren Worthington	"Yes, Emma. I asked. I don't think that's too crazy of an idea." Warren walks back up to the pool after getting yet another bacon cheeseburger. "And Ali! Gentlemen never kiss and tell, and I do like to delude myself into thinking that I am a gentleman." He flashes everyone a bright smile. "So what is being talked about here? Some sort of gated neighborhood of the rich and fabulous near here?"
Tabitha Smith	"All's fair, I think that is the line. I heard that somewhere on tv." Because she certainly didn't read it in a book anywhere. When James heads towards the deep end a few feet away she follows, moving to try and drape herself on him so that he has to do the work of keeping them both above water. She glances towards the others, laughing when she over hears something, "Did you give her your letterman jacket, Feathers?"
Emma Frost	"Don't ask questions, dear," Emma teases Alex and goes to dunk him again. And fails. She looks at Alison. "Straight to dessert? That sounds like a plan. I think I may insist on the same later," another attempt to dunk. Nope. She looks towards Warren. "Alison and I will have our own evil plans however we please, wing-boy."
Alison Blaire	"Who said we were kissing? I was talking about dessert." Alison looks up at Warren and narrows her eyes. "What were you thinking about?" She asks and presses a hand to her chest trying to look scandalized. She looks at Tabitha and laughs. "Well, something like that." Cheerful, she gestures to Emma and back to Warren. "See, she gets it. GOSH Aladdin."
Alex Summers	Alex acks as Emma applies pressure on his shoulders, trying to shove him under the water as he staggers a bit, but remains upright! "Ohoh, is that so?" he says with a grin, then another attempt to dunk! Failed! But it comes a bit closer at least. "I mean, no reason not to have a house of your own, considering you've got the funding for it...." Not to mention Emma's apartment is kinda...well...unlived in the way it looks currently.
Warren Worthington	"I gave her one of my specially modified shirts, Boom-Boom. So I guess the answer to your question is yes, in a manner." Warren grins, and then blows a kiss to Alison. "Anyway, it's been fun hanging with you all, but I need to take care of a few things, so I'll see you later Ali." He nods to Emma, Tabby and Alex. "You all take care." With a grin, he takes a few steps and jumps into the air to fly off.
