[[Let's forward date this to 5:30 or so -- before Sirens, but not by much. Note that I'm likely to be afk for a bit - finishing packing - but on for long stretches later today. Yay smartphones!]]
[Before picking up the NV, Emma pulls the top sheet off the bed and folds it rapidly into a toga. She picks up the blackberry and sits on the disheveled bed, her back to a window. Carefully considering her reflection in the back of the blackberry, Emma redrapes the toga into a slightly more revealing form. She then holds it up at arm's length and flicks an icon.]
"Hello. I understand introductions are sometimes conducted this way. I'm Emma Frost, a Newcomer as of three hours ago. If anyone I know hears this, please say hello; I have a number of friends and acquaintances who are the sort of people to whom interdimensional kidnapping is likely to occur.
"To anyone from my world, acquaintance or no, I understand people are plucked from different points in the timestream. I'm from (exact day Genosha was destroyed.) If you are from my future, I do not want to know what the future holds, so please do not put me to the inconvenience of wiping my own memories. If you are from my past, please do not ask: I will not tell you. That aside, I'd welcome a chance to meet anyone from home.
"To anyone at all, a personal request: due to circumstances beyond my control, I arrived with nothing but the communications device I am using now. I understand I'm expected to find a job quickly. Clothes would help in that endeavor. Mine ... aren't salvageable.
"Thanks to all for your time."
[The view lurches for a moment, revealing one of the Newcomer apartments, as Emma twists the blackberry to bring the off button in reach of her thumb. She immediately presses it and the feed cuts off.]
