[There's a perfectly coifed and well dressed woman on the screen. She's wearing all white, and she looks like she's either about to give a speech or lecture you about misbehaving. She gives the camera a somewhat chilly smile.]

Well, I can't deny that the teleporter has good sense. I've had time to gather information and now I see that this is an opportunity. Mind you, every situation is an opportunity to be taken advantage of, but this one in particular has promise.

I'm Emma Frost, some of you know me, I presume most of you don't. I've been many things in my life; a businesswoman, a teacher, a fighter. Now I apparently appraise diamonds.

[She chuckles softly at the idea.]

It's a start.

Now, the important thing to do is find a niche for myself. What sort of needs are present in the Import community?

Emma.

Welcome.

I'll be happy to answer any questions you have, perhaps in person over a cup of coffee.

Less diamond appraisal, more, um... maybe relationship counselors.

Wow. We haven't been this popular in ages.

They made me a clerk at a perfume store. They've got jokes.

Opportunity to what?

Isn't that fitting? They put me into Madam Ellis' school for proper young ladies and gentlemen to teach manners when I was ported in.

[ There's an amused chuckle to go with that. ]

Are you settling in?

[diamonds_are_forever]

[Emma chuckles again, giving him a slight smirk.]

Of course. I'll at your place in a moment, provided you tell me where it is. My living situation is as terrible as you said it would be, and I accept your gracious offer.

[diamonds_are_forever]

[Oh look, a young, impressionable adult! Emma gives him a confident smile.]

I'd be happy to help in that capacity. I've been a counselor before as well.

[diamonds_are_forever]

[Emma is confused for a moment, and her perfect mask of confidence slips away, replaced by uncertainty.]

I thought you were dead.

[diamonds_are_forever]

To enjoy a new start, to redefine myself, to make my mark on the world. I have things going on at home, but for the moment there's nothing pressing. I can fully embrace what this world has to offer, and give what I have to offer in return.

[ He sends her an address ]

But if you're already in Florida, come to the garage first. I'll give you the keys.

[ He sends that address as well ]

[diamonds_are_forever]

[Charles teaching manners is certainly fitting. Emma gives him an amused smirk.]

And why wouldn't you keep such an illustrious position?

You'll see how well I'm settling in soon enough. Erik has graciously offered a place in your home and I've accepted.

[diamonds_are_forever]

You have a garage in another state? My, you two are doing well for yourselves. I'll be there soon.

[Emma thoroughly approves.]

[fridgeflower]

You thought right.

I got brought here anyway, though, so... I'm not dead here.

[incogneto]

No, it's where I work.

[ Sorry Emma, Erik's elected to hang out underneath the hoods of cars all day. But it's cool, he's got a secondary real estate business that actually rakes in real cash. ]

[fehus]

[he seems unmoved by the confident smile, with his blank grey eyes and messy hair. who is he trying to be, Kurt Cobain? these teenagers are so Over everything these days??]

That's a lot of different jobs. Next you'll be saying you've been an international jewel thief.

[ghoulking]

Not everyone would embrace being kidnapped. But each person is different, of course.

[Hange is not at all happy to be drawn from home, but she's a strategist at heart and what Emma says is true: this new world might provide amazing opportunities. Perhaps better than Hange would have at home, in some ways.

It's that common perspective that draws her. Hange smiles into the camera.]

Appraising diamonds? How fancy! Are they as uncommon here as they are in my home? I've seen them, but rarely.

[aberranthubris]

It is a mystery indeed. [ With the driest possible tone of voice. ]

I see. Then I must welcome you into my home. [ One could say Erik isn't satisfied with just one telepath on the premises... ] I look forward to it.
