Room 528, Monday Afternoon

[icecoldfrost]

Let it never be said that Emma Frost did not learn from her mistakes.

After the last fuss Jack had raised, since he'd heard about her body-swapping adventures from Karla rather than hearing from Emma herself, she decided to head this particular bout of flailing off before it could even start.

Which was why she was sitting on her bed, very carefully pressing the buttons on her phone as she sent a picture-text to a boy half a world and a dimension away.

Look, darling, new trick!

Yes, she was counting down how long it would take him to call back. Emma was bored.


[Open door, open post, SP warning.]

It wasn't going to be right away, of course. Jack had classes to register for, a vampire to attend to, a Vrai Sang download to watch...

So it was at least eight minutes later before he texted her back. Maybe even nine.

Is that make-up?

He didn't think it was make-up.

[icecoldfrost]

Don't be ridiculous. Make-up couldn't even begin to be this spectacular, she typed in reply, sending another picture. Aren't you going to tell me I look fabulous?

[bitten_notshy]

You look fabulous, Jack typed back, now thoroughly worried and distracted. He'd already pulled up Portalocity on his computer. Will be there in 2 hours unless u say not 2 come.

[icecoldfrost]

Stop fretting, Mr. Priest. Jack could probably picture Emma scowling at the phone. I've already been to the clinic and gotten a clean bill of health.

...and possibly completely freaked-out Karla, but she wasn't going to mention that yet.

[bitten_notshy]

Strangely enough, that did not calm Jack.

CLINIC? he typed back.

Then, a moment later: C U in 2 hrs. No arguing. TTFN.

[icecoldfrost]

Of course the clinic. Did you think I would sit around going 'oooh, shiny!' after a random manifestation, and not have a professional make sure that everything was well?

When she didn't get an answer, Emma scowled and tossed her phone across the room. She didn't understand why everyone was getting more worked up about this than she was; if anyone should be freaked out, it was her.

[bitten_notshy]

A few hours later, Emma finally got her answer.

Am in #handwavey @ hotel. Come. Please?
