IC Contact for Siren's Pull

[frosty_mind]

Think hello!

Comment and I'll get back to you -- voicemail, videomail, textmail, telepathic messages, they're all good.

 

Email: eeb1@pobox.com
AIM: booksbeth

I check email more often than I log into AIM, so that's usually the best way to reach me, but feel free to say hello if you see me on AIM, and I can chat there at length if we meet up by prearrangement or happy coincidence.

[Voicemail - left sometime on Saturday afternoon]

Miss Frost, this is Kevin Ford. Whenever ya wanna start them lessons, I'm free t'morrow mornin', but it's jus' gonna be us. Julian's... gone.

Call back

[frosty-mind.livejournal.com]

Tomorrow morning is fine.

I'm sorry you've lost a friend. Let me know if you need help.

Re: Call back

[southernreaper.livejournal.com]

Where'd ya wanna meet, Miss Frost?

[He's leaving the rest alone. It isn't the first time he's been on his own. Probably won't be the last.]

Re: Call back

[frosty-mind.livejournal.com]

If you're willing to cope with Dr. Xavier giving you a quick once-over afterwards, as near to your apartment as you're willing to have him, so that you can go home and recuperate for the rest of Sunday.

If not, somewhere near whichever hospital you'd prefer to have tests run at, or near the clinic if you want that.

[Emma notices. Well, Tony Stark ought to be able to find a way to come up with enough money for a share of rent within a month.]

Re: Call back

[southernreaper.livejournal.com]

I c'n come t'yer house. I'll jus' walk home from there.

telepathy

[magnetic_magpie]

[Mentally, he's not exhausted, simply tired. There's strain showing around the egdes, and it's effecting the fine tuning of his mental volume, making him a little loud.]

Emma.

Re: telepathy

[frosty-mind.livejournal.com]

Here. What is it, Michael?

[A moderate concern for Michael, and a stronger one for the general situation, is deliberately projected with the query.]

Re: telepathy

[magnetic_magpie]

Did you see the news feed this morning?

[Ignoring the concern directed at him - he'll be fine.]

Re: telepathy

[frosty-mind.livejournal.com]

Yes. Kevin's lawyer says he can't talk to me about it and thinks that the fact that the law singles out age makes the question of age a triable issue of fact that he was planning to research.

...

I have more immediate concern for Kevin's ... self-control. I would have urged him to practice periods of time without using his powers if I had had more time to mentor him in. I would not have urged him to stop using them overnight and let the desire build to the boiling point.

Bail is being applied for; the occasional perception of Newcomers as being able to just go home is a problem, as is the severity of the charges.

Re: telepathy

[magnetic_magpie]

Since when is someone being willing to discuss a matter with you an issue?

As do I, which is why I was urging Julian to have him speak to me rather than through Julian.

The Core's ability to hold Newcomers is a moot point. Bail or not. I still maintain this wasn't a legal arrest.

Returning your call.

[Although telephones exist in Sabriel's world, she's had a rather dodgy start with something that's purely digital. A whole day of randomly pressing buttons and she's at least figured out how to turn her NV on and off and how to make calls.]

Hello?

Re: Returning your call.

[frosty-mind.livejournal.com]

Hello, Emma Frost speaking.

Re: Returning your call.

[swordandbells.livejournal.com]

Oh? Miss Frost? This is Sabriel. I just wanted to thank you for your help the other night.

Re: Returning your call.

[frosty-mind.livejournal.com]

You're very welcome. It was refreshing to talk to someone who was ... paying appropriate attention to the important business of survival.

I assume someone has told you the basics already?

Re: Returning your call.

[swordandbells.livejournal.com]

[Sabriel smiles a little at the compliment.]

Not...quite. I have a lot of questions that need answering. Firstly, just where are we?

Video - Private

[viral-vector.livejournal.com]

[As usual, Alex is an oh-so-eloquent speaker.]

Emma Frost.

Re: Video - Private

[frosty-mind.livejournal.com]

[A blink. She recognizes you, she hadn't expected you to call, and she doesn't mind that being obvious.] Hello.

Re: Video - Private

[viral-vector.livejournal.com]

I figured it would be better to speak to you on a less...easy to interrupt channel.

Re: Video - Private

[frosty-mind.livejournal.com]

Certainly. Be aware - though your encryption suggests you are already - that though this conversation is not in the public square, it's only as private as your encryption, and I'm not qualified to judge how good that encryption is, though I am familiar enough with encryption to not let an established encryption lapse on my end.

That said, what did you want to discuss?

[There are events of the night she's perfectly willing to discuss with him on the network. There are theoretical questions left hanging from their public discussion - like how to conduct an effective terrorism campaign - that she might be willing to discuss, but not in public. She just dunno.]

Re: Video - Private

[viral-vector.livejournal.com]

I'm not a hacker by any means, but I'm not unversed in covert communication.

I've been learning more about this place as I go. Seems I already have a bounty on my head. Not that I didn't expect it. I'm used to being on my own side, against a lot of enemies. Staying ahead of them is easy enough.

What did you say your abilities were, again? Mental powers?

[Voicemail- Late Wednesday Night/Early Thursday Morning]

[doeswhathewants]

[Sounds a bit breathless, as though he's been physically running instead of teleporting] Emma! It's Loki. I am not sure how to frame this, but I have acquired some ... sensitive ... information that was handed off to me.

...I need an adult.

Re: [Voicemail- Late Wednesday Night/Early Thursday Morning]

[frosty_mind]

[Is Loki concealing his mind? Emma's going to try telepathic contact before anything as incriminating as responding over the network. Even if they haven't met in person - which I don't recall on camera, but if he's dropped by the HoA it's entirely possible - she and Magneto have been working on Cerebra for months now, and how many gods of mischief can there be in this city?]

Re: [Voicemail- Late Wednesday Night/Early Thursday Morning]

[doeswhathewants]

[He would leave his mind open for her reply, rather thinking that might be the way she chose to handle things. He's actually currently living at the HoA with Youko, but spends most of his time out or under Youko's covers]

Telepathic reply

[frosty_mind]

[Ah, then she'd definitely know what to look for.]

Hello, Loki. What is it?

[She's not probing at all but she's listening very carefully, albeit with a volume filter in case Loki (accidentally or deliberately) shouts.]

Telepathic reply

[doeswhathewants]

[There might be some volume control issues, this is the first time he's done this since being reborn]

OH! That kind of tingles... okay- ah, my friend Claire and I we broke into an AGI facility. I'm not entirely sure why, she didn't go into details. But there were Voids and she got caught I feel really bad about that.

But she gave me the things she stole and told me to flee. Might be about their slave trade? Anyway, I'm just not sure what to do with them or who to give them to.
