[ Felicia showed up fairly late, in costume; function or not, she didn't want to draw too much attention to herself. She hung near the doors, carefully studying the group she was here to work with. She hadn't quite decided if this was a good idea yet or not, but time would always tell. ]

[ Monet looked up from her work when she heard someone else come in, and then set her pen down and stood up to walk over towards Felicia. ]

Black Cat. You're late.

[acrossyourpath]

Sorry. [ She doesn't sound that sorry, though. ] I figured I wouldn't be missing much to start.

[insufferablysmug]

Perhaps not. [ dryly ] Still, punctuality is considered a virtue.

[acrossyourpath]

I'll keep that in mind for next time.

[insufferablysmug]

I'm sure you will.

Would you care to discuss business?

[acrossyourpath]

That's why we're all here, right?

[insufferablysmug]

It is.

I know most of your skillset, but if there's anything else I should know, I'd like to hear about it now rather than later.

[acrossyourpath]

Before I tell you anything, what do you know?

[insufferablysmug]

Highly skilled retrieval expert. [ h e h. Actually, she's just going to avoid mentioning the bad luck powers for now. In case it's not something she wants spread around. ] I believe that sums it up well.

[acrossyourpath]

That's about right. I always get what I want.

[insufferablysmug]

I'm certain that will be useful to us.

Did you have any questions about X-Factor?

[acrossyourpath]

Mostly wondering how we'll handle our "cases". Are we going to operate in teams, or independently?

[insufferablysmug]

That will depend on the case. Some cases don't require a team, some do.

If you have a preference, you can let me know. [ Whether she'll actually take that into account is another matter entirely. ]

[acrossyourpath]

I could deal with a partner. Can't make any promises about a whole team.

[ She smirks a little. ]

But I'm not shy about taking any cases.

[insufferablysmug]

Noted. Perhaps it's something you'll grow used to.

[ Heh. A raised eyebrow. ]

I wouldn't have guessed you to be.

[acrossyourpath]

Anything's possible.

Is there anything I should know?

[insufferablysmug]

That seems to be a constant across worlds.

Nothing comes to mind, but I'll let you know if anything comes up.

[acrossyourpath]

Please do. I can't help but be curious.

[insufferablysmug]

You know what they say about curiosity and cats.

[ a beat ] Though perhaps in your case it doesn't apply.

[acrossyourpath]

Definitely not. I'm sure you already know I tend to have a little luck on my side.

[insufferablysmug]

I'd say more than a little.

[acrossyourpath]

Obviously enough to spread around, or else I wouldn't be here.

[insufferablysmug]

Mm. I'll look forward to that, then.
