Rogue has posed:
It's been a few days. Rogue's been in and out of the club - sometimes to take care of business. Sometimes to just catch a few breaths of fresh air. She's come back after a bit, enjoying the fact that she has a private room here. A place where no one can find her unless she's told them where she is. It's been a few days, and Rogue is in some kind of mood. So she puts on a dark green dress that's covered in various flower patterns with a tuft of fur on both sleeves at the wrist and around the collar. Her hair is put into more of an up-do and she wears the slightest bit of 'come hither' make up.

No. She's not looking for anyone or anything. She's already got that covered due to her...interesting life. But sometimes just the IDEA that people might approach her, might want to take her home...that's a drug no one can match.

She puts on black gloves, just because it matches and she needs to wear them, and takes one more look over herself in the full-length mirror before she turns and heads out of her room and towards the main part of Hellfire Club.

Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost That's when he's there in her own dress, well, white queen outfit, showing off her own hotness as she beams a big smile and kisses his cheek and then the other cheek. After all, she has the power to block Rogue's ability if she's paying attention, of course

     She smiles "How are you tonight? " She checks every day, but today she has more time. " Wanna come to hang out with me today? " She asks as she loops an arm with the other woman. " Dior is coming to do a fashion shoot here.. come watch it with me " .

Rogue has posed:
Rogue returns those kisses to Emma's cheeks and offers a chilled smile. "Oh you know. Scared and broken hearted. But I'll surely get over it. Just don't expect Logan to come askin' for me any time soon." The woman says as she's taken by the arm. "I would love to hang out with you...sounds like a lovely time." Rogue's even trying to hide her accent just a little bit, maybe sound a bit more like she belongs here and isn't just some white trash in a pretty dress.

Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost the eyes go wide. " Oh my god.. he didn't ?? " she gaped and covered Rogue's face. " How could he be so stupid? I swear that man is like 100 years old and still dumb as a post. " She gives a deep, deep hug. "I'm sooo sorry dear " .

     she knows what she's doing, but she'll leave her to if. She's hurting right now, and pushing too hard is bad. She just takes her hand and walks over towards a private area where they've set up a runway." Did you wanna watch from backstage or out front?" she asks.

     ' but if you wanna go back to your room and eat ice cream and talk, we can do that too " .

Rogue has posed:
Rogue holds up a hand. "No, Emma, you do not understand. A heart can be broken even if the break was made by the owner of said heart." She explains and then clarifies. "I ended things with him. I had to." For so many reasons, but in the end it was a selfish act that a part of her wishes to take back. Too late now. It's best to move on and eventually try to be friends with him. So she smiles again and at least returns the hug.

"Wherever you planned to watch it from, Emma. It's fine. I could use a little entertainment tonight..." She says this much. A way to keep her mind off of things for the moment. Which would be nice comparatively.

Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost Laughs " Are you sure? Cause I plan to watch from the back. you get hotter views, and I can check out all the dresses they don't use; the fun fact is they always bring double if not more, than the dresses they use. Sometimes a girl gets ina dress and they strip her out of it..so you get double show from the back " She winks

     She takes you to her private area in the back.. a nice view of the runway so you can see the girls lined up before they walk out.. and a good view of the back so you can see all the dresses, the chaos and of course lots of naked people quickly swapping clothes.

Rogue has posed:
Rogue grins as they reach the back room with the exceptional views. "Well. You certainly won't be hearing me complain..." Offering this much, and she'll even snatch a champagne flute off of a passing tray, taking a sip of it. Reeking - somehow - of elegance and dignity which are two words that one could rarely call Rogue these days.

"So is it really about the dresses...or the naked ladies? Or is it about undressing them once with your eyes and then seeing how close you were to correct?" A side glance given to Emma as she sips champagne and simply watches the show. In more ways than one.

Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost :looks actually surprised. "You're the first person to figure that out, " She says honestly." But you forgot also measuring myself against them, " She winks. She doesn't seem to mind Rouge if anything; she enjoys her regardless of her class

     She really likes that she's trying, mostly as she holds her hand softly, offering comfort as they watch the girls doing their thing. She sips her drink. "Honest talk.. do you wanna talk about it or should I distract the hell out of you "

Rogue has posed:
Rogue smirks. "It takes all kinds, Emma, but if I've learned anything about you...you are not shy. And no one will really ever see through your ruse..." The woman speaks with a smirk and then swallows down the rest of her glass as Emma asks that last question. "There isn't much to say. Things happened. Things I couldn't control. I left him to save space. In time we'll get over it. He might take a bit longer than me..." Mostly because there were emotions, real true emotions, and she acted like throwing them away was the best for them both.

"So perhaps just distractions. Better than me lingering on all the truths of the events." Not to mention, she's already gone to the arms of another man. One who can likely handle her a bit better. Another flute is snagged and sipped from. "What about you? Any one special in your life or are you the special one and everyone else is just lucky to exist in your presence?"

Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost Sighs. " To be honest, lots of offers, but Nobody wants to stick around," She admits, " Everybody is happy to play with Emma no; nobody wants to cuddle after, " she sighs as she drinks another drink.

     She sighs. " Don't get me wrong, meaningless sex is fun, but it gets old after a while.. I want something I can cuddle ". She rubs her cheek " i was spoiled with scott sure it's over now but still " .

Rogue has posed:
"I wouldn't really know. About how fun meaningless sex is. I can count the people I've had sex with on one hand and still have fingers left over. But then..." Rogue shrugs, looking herself over before back up and around the room. There's a pretty thing slipping out of a purple ombre and into a black fitted monochrome piece. "That ombre dress is stunning..." Saying this and then glancing back to Emma a moment.

"I'm sure someone will want to have cuddles with you one day. If I can find even one person who wants me...and then that number becomes two...well..." She smirks and shrugs. "Makes me think that maybe there is someone out there for everyone..."

Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost thinks for a moment " If didnt know you were on the rebound and rebounds don't work.. I'd offer to teach you about both " She says softly " But I'm also your friend and want the best for you " she pats your thight .. "Do you wanna try the dress .. you'll look hot .. especially sinceyou have way more hips and tit than she does " She points to the moddle

Rogue has posed:
Rogue takes the opportunity to swing away from the topic of sex and nods at the other question. "I would love to try that dress on. Might have to get it altered, just a bit, but not too much. After all, assests are meant to be shown off, yes?" She looks to Emma as she asks this and then takes another sip of the champagne flute. She's not on the rebound, but Emma doesn't need to know that, hiding one thought behind another that pushes forward for the just in case. "Might need something to eat to counter the champagne as well."

Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost Sighs. she tried and failed ahh well move on.. she nods her head " What were you thinking we have like 5 diffrent chefs here.. I think it's French today " she admits as she snaps her fingers and one of the designers walks over " go change that outfit for her " She adds as the woman start sto measure you to make the adjustments on the fly!

     it will take a little while for them to fix the dress after all top, level designers and they have all the tools to make repairs and changes on the fly. That's the nature of a fashion show, after all .

Rogue has posed:
Rogue figured that Emma was trying for something, but having her believe that Rogue is possibly on the rebound is likely best. As far as food is concerned, she shrugs. "Not sure, really. Something good but not too frilly or foo-foo." She suggests this much and then is suddenly being fitted so that alterations can be made to the dress. "Thanks for this, Emma. It's really been fun."

Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost leans over and, gives the woman a friendly hug and sighs. " What a friend for, " She says, clearly not upset. She beams a smile." Besides, I get to see you in the dress first , my win." She chuckles and orders a simple roast chicken with some butter-roasted potatoes and poached carrots. Still kinda fancy in what they did to them but simple, easy disk.. of course, with lots of wine ..

     She points to a private spot " Go change i wanna see " .

Rogue has posed:
Rogue returns that hug. "I'm still learning that..." Offering that with a chuckle and then listens to what Emma orders food wise. It sounds delicious anyway. When a private spot is pointed out, she gives a nod of her head and moves - taking the newly altered dress with her.

It's a one-shoulder sleeveless dress that falls against all the curves in all the right ways. Starting out black at the chest the color flows from black to midnight blue to dark purple at the end in a perfect balance of ombre. The colors bring out the red in her hair and the green in her eyes - and it just so happens her black gloves indeed match. (But then, black goes with everything...)
