J, GOB - Friday noonish

[carbontelepath.livejournal.com]

Emma was sitting by a window table, eating a croissant and shielding her mind liek woah to keep from being overwhelmed by all the new people popping up. She'd dropped a postcard in a mailbox, and the only thing else she had planned for the day was a visit to Caritas. She could get to like this vacation thing.

ooc: Open, especially to new shiny adult characters!

Maddie and Syvvie hadn't actually found a place to stay, yet. That seemed, somehow, to not be a priority.

"Syvvie! Syvvie! Look! This place is called the 'god of biscuits', can you believe that?"

"So it is!"

"Well, those had better be some damned good biscuits, then."

"With gravy."

"Oh, definitely."

The two old ladies bustled inside.

[ooc: let's try that again with the right icon, shall we?]

Emma looked up in surprise.

[getupanddoit]

If Emma were to look, she'd find that there wasn't a whole lot that these two thought that didn't come bubbling right up to the surface in their speech.

"I'm in the mood for a meatloaf."

"Oh, no, Syvvie, there's no meatloaf. No onions, either. This looks like a pastry shop."

"Then why is it called 'God of Biscuits'?"

"Well, I don't know--ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. My Michael told me about this. In England, cookies are called biscuits."

"Well, a croissant, then."

"Absolutely. Oh, those pies look divine, Syvvie!"

The SHIELD agent had somehow gotten lost. With his stuff. Well, this was just great.

He was starting to hurt anyway, so Steve decided to have some pastry while he waited for the kid to show back up. It was a small island; surely he would eventually. He limped into the bakery and froze in the doorway. He knew that blonde...

Wow, there was no filter there at all, was there? Emma was impressed. "The croissants are quite tasty," she said.

Emma looked up just then. Her jaw dropped. On her list of people unlikely to show up in Fandom, Captain America was very high up. "Bzuh?"

[screwyoumarvel]

Steve facepalmed with the hand that wasn't in a sling. "Um. Hi. Emma."

[getupanddoit]

The two women turned around. "Well hellooooo! We didn't see you there!"

"Our apologies, our eyes are gettin' old."

"That's right, that's right--Oh! Where are my manners. I," Maddie put a hand to her rather ample chest. "Am Madeline Samuels, and this is my best friend in the whole world, Sylvia Dunleavy."

"Call me Syvvie."

"And now, isn't that an interesting outfit you've got on, there, er, uh--"

"Miss?"

Maddie frowned and leaned over to whisper, not very quietly I might add, in Syvvie's ear. "Careful there, darling, sure she looks like a miss, but you can never tell any more. Those transvestitutes have some very impressive make up skills!"

"May I have three slices of cherry pie, please," Dale said while approaching the counter holding his to-go cup of Perk coffee. "And while we're at it why don't you throw in a bear claw for good measure."

[carbontelepath.livejournal.com]

Emma gave them an outraged look. "My name is Emma Frost. Miss Emma Frost, thank you."

[carbontelepath.livejournal.com]

"Uh," said Emma, blinking. "Hi Steve. What are you doing here?" She probably could've put that in a nicer way, but, really, still stuck on bzuh.

[getupanddoit]

Maddie's eyes widened. "Oh, darling, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend!"

"It's very nice to meet you, Miss Frost," Syvvie cut in.

Maddie wasn't done yet. "You see, we're the new Gender Studies teachers. And it's just so hard to keep up with all those Politico Correctives these days. I'm so very sorry,"

"It was an honest mistake, Mad."

"No, no, it was a terrible thing for me to say. Please, let me buy you a coffee."

[carbontelepath.livejournal.com]

Emma blinked at the 'bear claw' and looked up.

[screwyoumarvel]

"Teaching," Steve said. "Art." She seemed to be taking this well. Maybe he wasn't dead where she was from. "What are you doing here? I thought you were teaching at Xavier's."

[getupanddoit]

Maddie gave Dale a good look over. "Careful there, darling, or you'll ruin that nice boyish figure,"

[carbontelepath.livejournal.com]

Emma nodded slightly. "I understand. You are here to teach a workshop?"

[pieandcoffee.livejournal.com]

"Good afternoon," Dale said with a cheery wave. "I take it you are also a purveyor of find baked goods?"

[carbontelepath.livejournal.com]

Emma frowned. "I was, and then things happened and Scott hasn't said he misses me yet, and I'm not going home until he says it, and did you say art?"

[getupanddoit]

"That's right, that's right,"

Syvvie kept quiet but nodded along.

"And you see, ever since my nephew, Michael, he . . . oh, Syvvie, what's that phrase, 'came out of the cupboard' at me, well, I just won't assume anything about anyone. Maybe I should just keep my mouth shut,"

"It'd never happen," Syvvie commented good-naturedly. "She's incapable."

[pieandcoffee.livejournal.com]

"Not to worry Ma'am," Dale said with a grin. "A steady exercise regime and a metabolism of hummingbird are two of my greatest assets. Allow me to introduce myself. Dale Cooper."

[screwyoumarvel]

"That's right, art," Steve said. "I used to study art," he said wistfully.

[getupanddoit]

Maddie fanned herself playfully with one hand. "Oh my, those are some nice assets. Syvvie! Syvvie, come here and greet this nice young man. I am Madeline Samuels, and this is my best friend in the entire universe--"

"Sylvia Dunleavy, nice to meetcha," Syvvie stuck out one wrinkled hand. "You'll have to pardon Mad, here, she's between husbands again."

Emma held up her croissant. "I am. My name is Emma Frost."

[carbontelepath.livejournal.com]

"I honestly had no idea," Emma said. She frowned again. "Shouldn't you be busy saving the world from evil?"

[pieandcoffee.livejournal.com]

"Dale Cooper," he replied with a wave of his bear claw. "Recent arrival to the island. Have you been here long?"
