DCA Info Part 39: Meet Sophie Fascinare 💜

Twisted from: Sofia the First

Art colored by @au-ni-ro

Sophie Fascinare (ソフィー・ファシナーレ, Sofī Fashināre) is a 15 year old 1st year student affiliated with the Glastanzerin dorm. Hailing from an isolated kingdom, she has no idea how to fit in the modern society but she will try her best to become a true princess!

History

Sophie was born and raised in the kingdom of Enchantis, a large island with a castle in the center surrounded by other large islands that house villages and towns.

At some point during her life, Sophie’s mother, Queen Meredith married a humble jeweler known as Ryland and in the process became the older step sister to Ryland’s twins, his son Amir and his daughter Jemma. She was very welcoming to her new family members though she has to constantly remind her Amir that being royalty comes with responsibility.

When her enrollment in Diamond Crown Academy was announced, her mother’s council immediately disagreed out of fear of outsiders and reject any idea of outside knowledge ruining their traditions.

Prior to her departure to DCA, her mother entrusted her with a magical amulet that was said could grant powers to anyone who wears it.

Personality

Sophie is diligent and hopeful, never gives up on a task until it is done. Though she needs to learn how to lean onto others for support when she needs it. She has a determined spirit even if she screws up, she just tells herself to take note of the mistake and try again no matter how embarrassed she may be.

Appearance

Sophie is a young girl of average height in her mid-teens. She has fair skin, blue eyes which were later changed to violet, and shoulder-length brown hair that would later include a light purple streak and is commonly shown in a ponytail.

Sophie’s Ensemble in her First Bio

This ensemble takes inspiration from the ensemble of the character Sophie is based on, the details of the ensemble are listed below with the only difference being that the bio ensemble has a purple color palette.

1st School Uniform

The outfit consists of a a bright blue puff sleeve jacket with a crown pattern, gold trim, buttons, a pale yellow ruffle collar with white lace and navy blue cuffs with silver buttons with a flower motif. The jacket is worn over a baby blue dress with the top having gold trim and white lace and also having a light yellow skirt. For footwear, Sophie wears a pair of brown shoes with gold straps with bows in the center alongside a pair of pale yellow argyle socks that have a solid purple color at the halfway point.

Sophie accessorizes with a silver tiara with the center part resembling a heart with a purple gem on top, a purple bow on the right side of her hair, a navy blue sash and most notably an amulet with a purple teardrop pendant set in silver.

2nd School Uniform

Sophie’s ensemble is drastically different from the first one. She wears a light blue puff-sleeved bolero jacket with gold trim and white pearl buttons. Underneath is glittery periwinkle overskirt with gold trim worn over a pastel blue argyle v-neck dress with pale yellow trim which is in turn worn over a white dress shirt with lace trim. For footwear, Sophie wears a pair of dark brown low heeled shoes with yellow ruffle trim and blue-violet bows and a pair of white socks with ruffle cuffs.

Sophie accessorizes with a silver tiara with the center having a heart motif and infinity loops on both sides, a blue-violet ponytail ribbon, a blue-violet ribbon with gold trim and a silver teardrop brooch with a purple jewel in the center, and a blue-violet sash with gold trim and a ribbon on the right side with a silver gem in the center.

3rd School Uniform

Sophie's 3rd school uniform is fairly basic, which makes sense since she’s adjusting to a new environment due to coming from an isolated kingdom. Additionally she was unsure how the uniform commissioning system worked so she commissioned something simplistic.

For her ensemble, Sophie wears a periwinkle puff sleeve jacket with silver trim, a pair of pale blue gem buttons on each side of the jacket, each attached to a pair of silver toggles,dark purple cuffs and the inside has a purple checkerboard pattern. Worn underneath the jacket is a pale blue sweater with a collar and a periwinkle skirt with silver trim and pale blue ruffles. For footwear, Sophie wears a pair of low heeled Mary Janes with silver buckles and bows on the straps. She wears the shoes with a pair of short white socks.

Sophie accessorizes with a silver tiara with heart and loop motif, a silver teardrop brooch with a lavender with a flower in the center and pale blue gems on the top, and a violet belt with a bow in the center alongside a silver buckle.

School Statistics

Sophie is a 15 year old 1st year student. She is classified as Student #3 and is in Class 1-A. She has yet to choose a club, but her best subject is Basic Etiquette. Her favorite school subject is Study of Magical Relics because of she was always so interested in relics, in part thanks to her amulet. Her least favorite school subject is Fencing/Sword Fighting due to her lack of experience with weaponry.

Relationships

Family

Sophie has a good relationship with her family, including her stepfather and step siblings.

Pet

Sophie’s animal companion is a cocker spaniel named, Filly. A loyal dog who always gives advice and encourages her.

During the first few weeks of the school, Filly and the other animals were the only ones she’d talk to.

Voice

According to her bio, Sophie would be voiced by Kanae Itō known for her roles as Amu Hinamori in Shugo Chara!, Ruiko Saten in A Certain Scientific Railgun, and Nana Astar Deviluke in To Love Ru to list a few.

MD-5 Cruelty Squad: Big Pharmakokinetiks

Tari walked into the Cruelty Squad headquarters, the building was as raggedy as ever… I mean it had only been a single day since she had been hire, so else what did she have to expect?

She sauntered through the grimy, yet somehow still blank white halls of the HQ into the meeting room. Still as quaint as ever with a table, some chairs, and a blackboard being the only real features in it.

The rest of the team was also in there: Masa, Sofia, Lamar and Lucinia.

“Hey, wonderin’ when you were gonna show up,” Lamar said, leaning back in his chair like he wasn’t about to be told to go kill someone. (Or maybe that was a normal reaction, Tari never really spoke to a lot of people at TASCorp)

Sofia was practically shaking in her chair, to the point where it nearly fell over at like three different points. “I am so excited for this oh my god! We haven’t had a good hit in years,”

“Our last job was a week ago, Sofia,” Lucinia deadpanned, staring at the fidgeting, now pouting blonde with sisterly smugness.

Tari casually sat down, Masa was standing in front of the blackboard with a piece of chalk.

“Settle down everyone, now that everyone’s here we can begin,” He said blankly. “Pharmakokinetiks LLC owns the vast majority of the pharmaceutical industry,”

“Booooo, we hate monopolies,” Sofia made a megaphone with her hands.

“Actually, they’ve hired us to solve a problem for them. Sigismund, the manager of their nearby Cancer City location has embezzled a large sum of money, and spent it on… fucking Slurpcoin,”

“Fuck’s sake, they hired a Biocurrency Bro?” Lucinia facepalmed.

“Listen man, Weebcoin is gonna blow up soon… then y’all will be worshippin’ me,” Lamar chuckled.

The rest of the crew stared at him silently before going back to listening to Masa.

“We’re going in to kill him, along with his accomplice Jerry who’ll be in the conference room, they’re holding a meeting today,”

“Should be easy… should we head off now?” Lucinia asked.

“Yes, does anyone have any questions before we leave though?”

“Why aren’t they doing it themselves?” Tari asked. “Why are they hiring us,”

“They need it to look like a terrorist attack; their stock value will go down if they get caught killing their own managers,” Masa blankly explained. “Anything else?”

Tari shook her head, adjusting her green shades as the gang headed into the outside of the base. They got in Lucinia’s car and prepared to drive to the building…

---

The drive was short and boring, Sofia spent the whole thing trying to get under Lamar’s skin; Tari was silent as ever as they stopped outside the Two story Pharmaceutical building. It looked clean on the outside with windows leading into a flat interior with a couple security guards dotted around wielding standard SMGs alongside a couple of “Dogs”, at least that’s what they were called. Stange quadrupedal creatures with overly large large mouths on the front of their bodies, and putrid rotting skin.

“Alright, I’ll be here if you get injured, die, or when you need to leave,” Lucinia reassured, little emotion in her voice as Tari, Sofia, Lamar and Masa got out of the car. “You kids have fun!”

“We will Lucy!” Sofia smiled as she put on a segmented black and orange vest, Lamar put on a yellow jacket with extra pockets sewn into it over his garish anime shirt.

“Alright, what’s the plan Masa?” Lamar asked as he pulled his sniper rifle from one of the deceptively deep pockets: the rest of the team pulled their respective weapons from the slots embedded into their arms. A couple black grenades for Sofia, and a silenced pistol each for Masa. Though the pistol looked more like an SMG that was mangled into a pistol. And a standard SMG for Tari.

“I’ll sneak through the back to get Sigismund. You three deal with everything on the bottom floor. Lamar give me a piggy back ride,”

“What?” The man raised an eyebrow, Sofia snorted, Tari didn’t react at all.

“Just do it,”

Lamar sighed and did as asked, the surprisingly light man jumped onto Lamar’s back.

“Alright, jump to the top of the building behind us, there’s a vent that leads straight to the top floor,”

Lamar used his robotic legs and jumped all the way up to the small building. He then placed a boombox next to him, making himself comfortable on the top of the roof as he pulled placed his sniper rifle on the ground.

“Alright, when I give the signal you two head on in and shoot at whoever you think is a security guard,” Masa spoke through a radio in each of the other team member’s pockets. “Lamar, focus on anyone armed with more than an SMG,”

“You got it, man,”

“Yessir Mr. Butcher of Melbourne,”

Tari nodded.

“Tari?”

“Tari also says yes!” Sofia beamed.

“Alright good, I’ll give the signal soon,”

Masa crawled through the vents, hearing radio chatter at the end of the cramped tunnels as he slowly made his way through them.

He looked through the grates, seeing that it lead to the upstairs bathroom of the place. Inside was a single member of Security Redefined™, wearing a gas mask, and a far better looking green uniform than the rest of the security guys. Masa shot him in the back of the head through the grate, the man fell to the ground without as much as a peep.

Masa slowly got out of the vent, somehow making zero noise as he moved over to pick up the dead man’s gun.

The Karl and Heinrich X20, a boxy looking assault rifle with caseless ammunition, a huge magazine and a scope. Perfect.

He went to the bathroom door and peeked through a peephole; the top floor was actually had a large area in the middle where the couple security guards up here could look at the floor down below, he moved his radio towards his mouth.

“Everything you’ve got, now,”

“Full hog, Tari!” Sofia yelled as she ran head first into the building, Tari following closely behind.

As they entered the security guards looked at them, the lobby of the building was also unsurprisingly enough filled with civilians, a couple tables, chairs and a counter near the front.

“Hello, welcome to Pharmakokinetiks, your one stop shop for human experimentation, how may I help yo-”

BANG

Sofia shot the cashier straight in the head with a completely unsilenced pistol of her own. The security quickly began to fire on her as she ducked behind the counter, Tari following soon after.

“Sof, what the hell was that?” Lamar chided over the radio.

“Masa said to get their attention!”

“He said to give it all you… just start shootin’ em already,”

“Haha, I win!” Sofia instantly bolted out of cover and began to gun down several of the Security guards, weaving through bullets as she ran towards a table. Her inaccurate shots took out a couple security and the odd civilian here and there. Tari peeked her head over the cover, and began to take out individual security guards focusing on Sofia: one, two, three, a fourth finished off by Lamar, a fifth that began to come down the stairs to Tari’s left, a sixth-

“Agh!”

Tari yelped as a dog jumped over the table and forced her to the ground, she punched the thing in the mouth to little effect as it screeched and whined. Tari looked blankly at the thing as she-

BANG

The thing was shot through the mouth and quickly fell to the floor.

“You’re welcome, Tari!”

Tari nodded as she went back to taking the security out, she saw a large explosion in front of her probably caused directly by Sofia-

“Gah!”

Speaking of the blonde woman, she groaned in pain as she got shot in the shoulder from the floor above, she ducked behind the table more as-

The security guards shooting from the top quickly fell over the balcony, all shot from behind by Masa, who ran towards Sigismund’s Office as he quickly mopped up the guards.

“Thanks boss!” Sofia said excitedly. “We’ll go murder that Jerry lickety split!”

“I’ll guard our exit!” Lamar promised.

Tari said nothing.

“Good job,” Masa said as he kicked down the door of Sigismund’s office.

He saw the towering man, his mouth wide open and his face deformed.

“Alright, you freak shit. I’m here to-”

“BIOCURRENCY, BIOGURRENGRY I AM GOD AND MONEY AND GOD!” The man screeched erratically, Masa covered his ears. “SLURPCOIN.NET INVEST INVEST, INVESTIGATE THE BIOCURREN-”

Pew.

The man fell to the floor, dying instantly as Masa shot his head clean off with the silenced pistol.

“Sigismund down,”

“Nice! We’ll have Jerry dead in like 2 seconds!” Sofia said, huge smile on her face. “Right Tari?”

Tari nodded, Sofia pouted a little at the lack of noise, but elected to let it slide for now…

Tari and Sofia ran into a hallway at the end of the lobby, shooting several Security Guards before they could even react, Tari crouched down and picked up their discarded ammo as the two women ran through the hallway to top up her own supply. They another hallway, a door at the end being labelled “Conference room”

---

“Alright, so this is the Fleshrat,” Jerry announced, grimacing while motioning towards the glass container filled with the bizzare human-rat hybrid they had created. “A uh… mix of human and rat DNA,”

One of the other people in the conference room cleared their throat, besides that the entire room was silent.

“They can poison people, and appear just like standard pests; perfect for any secret operatio-”

Jerry was interrupted by the door to the conference room being kicked down by Sofia, who quickly dashed onto the table in the middle of it.

“Excuse me, ma’am. What the fuck are you doing here?” Jerry asked, sounding confused, not angry.

“I’m here to kill you…” Sofia smugly smiled as she reached into her pocket.

“Oh… could you kill my boss too on your way out?”

“Already done don’t worry!” Sofia threw two of the grenades she got from her pockets and-

BOOM

Threw them to the floor. The explosion killing every single person in the room except for her; it merely knocked Sofia out of the room back into the hallway, Tari managed to catch the blood covered woman in her arms.

“WOOOOOOOOOOO!” Sofia cheerily screeched as she removed herself from her disinterested teammate’s arms. “That was FUCKING AWESOME!”

“I assume that means Jerry’s dead?” Masa asked over the radio.

“Yepperooni! Dead, super ultra mega dead. I am absolutely covered in his blood!”

“Great, I’ll set up a towel so you don’t get blood in Lucinia’s car,” Masa chuckled. “Get outside quick by the way, Lamar’s panicking over his Biocurrency crashing,”

“For real? Run Tari. This is always funny to watch!” Sofia giggled like a schoolgirl as she ran out of the building. Tari elected to walk slowly through the building. Through the bodies that she and her new coworkers had left in their wake.

The didn’t smile, she didn’t cry, she didn’t grimace… she merely walked.

...Admittedly watching Lamar cry over Weebcoin was pretty funny.

1 DAY LATER

A blonde man sat in his overly large office, impatiently tapping his pencil on his desk; anticipation was evident in his movements as he repeatedly looked down to look at the tablet in his lap.

Finally, the door opened, and in walked a woman. With pinkish-orangish hair tied into a ponytail, pink shades, and an augmented, red cybernetic arm.

“Oi, I just got off a mission, what’d ya want me for, Lucks?” Belle grumbled as she walked into the office, sitting in the chair opposite of the man’s desk.

“I understand the inconvenience, Belle,” Lucks cleared his throat. “But we need to discuss the recent terrorist attack on our partners in Pharmakokinetiks,”

“A terrorist attack?” Belle slouched in the chair, wrapping her arms around the chair’s arms as Lucks placed the tablet on the table. “What makes this our problem? Every building we own is terrorism proof,”

“It’s not the terrorism itself, it’s who did it,” Lucks hit a button on the tablet, the security footage from Pharmakokinetiks played.

“What the fuck?” Belle tensed up as she looked at the footage. “That’s Luce’s sister… and some random chick,”

“Murder Division Five resignation from the company has left us wondering where they went,” Lucks paused for a moment. “We see where they are now,”

“Now what? When do I get to deal with ‘em?”

“Please don’t let your… former relations with Lucinia cloud your judgement,” Belle gritted her teeth a little as Lucks spoke. “We’ll try to investigate them where possible… TASCorp’s best agents will get to the bottom of this,”

“Good,” Belle’s face curved into a smirk. “Thanks for telling me, give me the call and they’ll be dealt with,”

“I will, Ms. Fontiere. TASCorp thanks you for your service,”

It's been a while since I watched an episode. I watched Mom's the Word...

It's a cute episode. I'm glad there's a Mother's Day episode because there's no Father's Day one. I hardly think Dads and Daughters Day counts, but I'll get into that when I get to said episode.

I admit that I like the roses Amber and James gave Miranda.

I like how enthusiastic the twins are to have their first Mother's Day.

Lucinda shows up with her mom. I think Marla is very pretty, although I have to quarantine her color scheme. Yellow and red aren't colors I associate with wicked witches.

That boat ride was awesome! It looked like something from Disneyland.

They had life jackets. Okay... Where were those life jackets during the storm in The Floating Palace?

The song was hauntingly beautiful, and the flashbacks were cute. Little Sofia has an enormous head.

Baileywick as a frog was too funny.

I have mixed feelings about Sofia here. On oñe hand, I understand. She's had her mom to herself for Mother's Day for seven years, and suddenly she has to share Miranda with her now siblings. That can't have been easy. On the other hand, I kind of think her actions were curse worthy, just like her bragging. Lucinda, who's supposed to be be a good witch, should not have helped her. Sofia seems to have an issue with sharing people she's known her whole life because we saw the same thing in Four's a Crowd.

What I don't like...

The timing. This was Amber and James's first Mother's Day with a mother, so it should have been in Season 1. Like, I don't know, BEFORE the first summer vacation as a family that came AFTER Halloween. But the ord kier of episodes is all over the place in the first two seasons.

NEW X-MEN SEASON 2 EPISODE 1

EPISODE 1- FOXX IN THE ATTIC, PART 1

WE OPEN UP IN A FOREST AT NIGHT AS A FEMININE SHADOW SLIPS THROUGH THE TREES. A VOICE THAT WE RECOGNIZE AS EMMA FROST ASKS WHERE ‘SHE’ CAME FROM, AND ANOTHER VOICE, BELONGING TO SCOTT SUMMERS SAYS THAT HE DOESN’T KNOW. SHE JUST POPPED UP ON THE RADAR. EMMA’S VOICE SIGHS, SAYING THAT THE POOR THING WAS CHASED FOR MILES. SHE’S LUCKY TO BE ALIVE.

A TRUCK PULLS UP AND TWO MEN STEP OUT, HOLDING GUNS. ONE COMMENTS THAT SHE SHOULDN’T BE HARD TO FIND. SHE’S JUST A LITTLE GIRL. THE OTHER ONE SAYS THAT SHE’S QUITE A PRETTY LITTLE THING TOO, IF YOU OVERLOOK THE COLORATION AND THE… TEETH. EVENTUALLY, THE FEMALE SHADOW LEAPS ONTO THE GROUND AND TURNS OVER, REVEALING YELLOW EYES. SCOTT’S VOICE ASKS IF SHE KNEW WHERE SHE WAS RUNNING, OR WAS SHE JUST RUNNING BLIND. AS THE MEN FIRE THEIR GUNS, EMMA SAYS THAT THAT HARDLY MATTERS. THEY COULD’VE EASILY KILLED HER, BUT THE IMPORTANT THING IS, THEY DIDN’T.

HER NAILS ARE SHARP AND PAINTED BLUE AND SHE HAS LONG GOLD CRESCENT MOON EARRINGS, ALONG WITH ANIMALISTIC YELLOW EYES AND SHARP WHITE TEETH THAT BECOME MORE VISIBLE WHEN SHE SMILES. SHE SIMPLY SAYS HELLO.

WE THEN FOCUS ON THE OTHER MEMBERS OF GAMBIT’S SQUAD. THE FIRST ONE REMOVES HIS HELMET, WHICH IS THE SAME COLOR AS HIS WHITE AND RED COMBAT SUIT, REVEALING GRAYISH SKIN, WHITE HAIR, AND AN ANTENNAE. BESIDE HIM IS A DARK-SKINNED BOY WITH BURLY BICEPS WHO STANDS BESIDE A SLENDER, BALD, DARK-SKINNED GIRL WHOSE SKIN CONSTANTLY CHANGES PATTERNS.

(SQUAD MEMBERS: GUY SMITH AKA MR. SENSITIVE (LEADER), CHRISTIAN AND CHRISTINE CORD AKA RADIAN AND TATTOO, SIDNEY GREENE AKA ONYXX, THEIA (NO CODENAME), AND ARTEMIS BOLEYN AKA TOODLE PIP)

GAMBIT SLOWLY APPROACHES FOXX AND WELCOMES HER TO THE INSTITUTE. FOXX SMILES AND ASKS HIM IF MAYBE, AS SHE’S COMING INTO THIS THING MID-TERM, MAYBE THEY COULD HAVE A FEW ONE-ON-ONE SESSIONS. GAMBIT LOOKS AT HER COLDLY AND SIMPLY TELLS HER THAT HIS CLASS WORKS AND LEARNS AS A UNIT. SHE NEEDS TO TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT. WITH THAT, HE LEAVES THE ROOM, AND FOXX LOOKS OVER AT TATTOO.

FOXX: IS HE ALWAYS THAT MEAN?

TATTOO: HO, ARE YOU ALWAYS THAT OBVIOUS?

MEANWHILE, SOFIA AND CLARICE MAKE OUT IN SOFIA’S ROOM WHEN CLARICE NOTICES A BOOK RESTING ON SOFIA’S NIGHTSTAND. SOFIA SAYS THAT SHE TOLD CLARICE ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED AT THE CHATEAU ST. CROIX DURING WINTER BREAK, BUT SHE REVEALS THAT SHE ACTUALLY LOOTED THAT BOOK FROM THE PLACE BEFORE THEY LEFT. CLARICE RAISES HER EYEBROWS, COMMENTING THAT THAT IS A BIG TURN-ON FOR HER, AND SOFIA WHACKS HER ON THE ARM.

CLARICE LOOKS INSIDE THE BOOK AND THEN NOTICES A LIST OF NAMES THAT SOFIA WROTE IN THE MARGINS OF ONE PAGE, COMMENTING THAT THE LAST NAME ‘SLADE’ WAS HER DAD’S MAIDEN NAME. SOFIA TELLS CLARICE THAT SHE’S BEEN KEEPING TRACK OF THE SURNAMES IN THE BOOK, BUT SHE HASN’T FINISHED IT YET. WHAT INTRIGUES HER IS THE FAMILIAR NAME OF THE HELLFIRE CLUB THAT WAS MENTIONED IN THE BOOK.

CLARICE: WELL, IT WOULDN’T HURT TO GO OVER THESE NAMES, WOULD IT?

SOFIA: OKAY, WELL, THE NAME ‘KILGORE’ I RECOGNIZE. IT SEEMS TO BE TIED TO THE MANUFACTURING COMPANY KNOWN AS KILGORE ARMS. I HEARD ABOUT THEM WHILE LIVING WITH MY FATHER.

CLARICE: AND THE NAMES ‘ENDUQUE’ AND ‘KENSINGTON’ ARE BOTH SURNAMES OF WEALTHY FAMILIES. BUT WHAT ABOUT ‘STARSMORE’ AND ‘FRANKENSTEIN’?

SOFIA: WELL, FRANKENSTEIN IS OBVIOUSLY FROM THAT LEGEND ABOUT THAT GERMAN MAN WHO ATTEMPTED TO CREATE LIFE, BUT CREATED A MONSTER BY ACCIDENT. IS IT POSSIBLE THAT THAT LEGEND IS TRUE?

CLARICE: I DUNNO. BUT I DON’T REMEMBER THE NAMES ‘PIERCE’, ‘SHAW’, AND ‘LELAND’. AND WHAT ABOUT THE HELLFIRE CLUB?

SOFIA: I REMEMBER MISS FROST BEING A MEMBER OF THE HELLFIRE CLUB. MAYBE SHE HAS A LEAD FOR US.

CLARICE: HOLD ON, BABE. WE CAN’T GO TO MISS FROST. DON’T YOU REMEMBER HALLOWEEN?

SOFIA: OKAY. MAYBE WE CAN’T GO TO HER. BUT THERE’S ONE PERSON WHO SHARES HER INTELLECT. SCRATCH THAT. MORE LIKE THREE OF THEM…

MEANWHILE, CESSILY IS TALKING WITH ROXY WHILE ALANI LOOKS OVER AT HER. SHE WALKS UP AND ASKS CESSILY IF MAYBE THEY COULD TALK IN PRIVATE. SHE HAS SOMETHING SHE WANTS TO TELL HER. CESSILY LOOKS CONFUSED, BUT ROXY TELLS ALANI THAT IF SHE HAS SOMETHING TO SAY TO CESSILY, SHE CAN SAY IT TO HER. ALANI SIGHS AND WALKS OFF, WITH CESSILY ASKING WHAT THAT WAS ABOUT.

ALANI WALKS PAST ONE OF THE TEACHERS, ROGUE, WHO WALKS OUTSIDE, ONLY TO BE CONFRONTED BY FOXX, WHO SAYS THAT SHE REALLY ADMIRES HER AND HOW GOOD HER RELATIONSHIP WITH HER HUSBAND IS. ROGUE TELLS HER THAT THAT’S SWEET, BUT SHE NEEDS TO HEAD TO THE X-JET IN TEN MINUTES FOR A MISSION. FOXX NODS, STEPPING OUT OF HER WAY.

ONYXX THEN WALKS UP TO HER, SAYING NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IT. THE X-MEN DON’T TEND TO MIX WITH THE YOUNGER ONES. FOXX IMMEDIATELY ASKS HIM WHO HE IS, AND HE SAYS THAT HE’S ONE OF HER CLASSMATES, AND HE THOUGHT MAYBE THE TWO OF THEM COULD HAVE A LITTLE FUN TOGETHER SOMETIME.

FOXX: THE ONLY FUN I MIGHT HAVE WITH YOU IS TEARING UP YOUR RIDICULOUS FACE. NOW REMOVE YOUR HAND BEFORE I LEAVE YOU WITH A STUMP.

AS ONYXX WALKS OFF, DEJECTED, SOFIA AND CLARICE NOTICE FOXX AND WAVE HER OVER. SOFIA INTRODUCES THEM BOTH AND TELLS FOXX THAT SHE LIKES HER HAIR, PROMPTING A TOOTHY SMILE FROM THE NEW GIRL. SOFIA THEN SAYS THAT IF SHE EVER NEEDS ANYTHING, SHE SHOULD CONTACT THEM. FOXX NODS AND THEN WALKS OFF WITH HER GROUP, WAVING AT BLINK AND WIND DANCER. CLARICE COMMENTS THAT SOMETHING DEFINITELY SEEMS OFF WITH THE NEW GIRL, BUT SOFIA SAYS THAT SHE THOUGHT SHE SOUNDED NICE.

EVENTUALLY, THE CUCKOOS WALK UP TO THEM AND SAY THAT THEY HAD A FEELING THEY WANTED TO TALK TO THEM. SOFIA SAYS THAT THEY HEARD ABOUT SOMETHING CALLED THE HELLFIRE CLUB, WHICH CAUSES THE CUCKOOS TO LOOK AT THEM BEFORE SITTING DOWN. THEY THEN SAY THAT THE HELLFIRE CLUB WAS A SECRET SOCIETY THAT MOSTLY CONSISTED OF MUTANTS. THEY’VE OPERATED IN THE SHADOWS FOR QUITE SOME TIME, BUT THEY’VE ALSO ENCOUNTERED THE X-MEN ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. EMMA FROST WAS A MEMBER OF THE HELLFIRE CLUB BEFORE SHE JOINED THE X-MEN, AND WAS KNOWN AS THE WHITE QUEEN.

SOFIA: ANYTHING ELSE?

CELESTE, PHOEBE, AND MINDEE LOOK AT EACH OTHER.

CUCKOOS: WE CAN’T REALLY SAY MUCH MORE. MS. FROST SWORE US TO SECRECY. BUT WHAT WE CAN TELL YOU IS THAT THERE’S A SUMMIT IN HONG KONG BETWEEN TWO CHAPTERS OF THE HELLFIRE CLUB. IF YOU CAN STEAL THE BLACKBIRD AND MEET US WITH A SUCCESSFUL TEAM, YOU CAN FIND OUT FOR YOURSELF WHAT IT’S LIKE. YOU HAVE UNTIL TOMORROW.

SOFIA: WHY DO YOU WANT US TO DO THAT?

CELESTE: BECAUSE WE’RE BORED. THIS PLACE HAS LOST ITS FUN.

PHOEBE: AFTER FRANCE, WE GOT A BIT OF A TASTE FOR ACTION. WE WANT MORE.

MINDEE: LIKE TEN-YEAR-OLD KIRSTEN DUNST IN INTERVIEW WITH A VAMPIRE.

CLARICE: OKAY, THAT’S A REALLY BAD REFERENCE, BUT I GUESS WE HAVE NO CHOICE. RIGHT, SOFIA?

SOFIA: OKAY. LET’S ASSEMBLE THE TROOPS.

MEANWHILE, GAMBIT IS TAKING HIS SQUAD OUT ON A GETAWAY TO A NEARBY WATERFALL FOR SOME TEAM BUILDING. HE TELLS THEM ALL THAT THEY SHOULD BE CAREFUL. THIS ISN’T LIKE THE DANGER ROOM, WHERE HE COULD JUST TURN IT OFF. FOXX COMMENTS THAT SHE REALLY DIGS THE KIND OF DANGER THAT YOU CAN’T JUST TURN OFF, AND TATTOO ASKS IF THEY’RE ALLOWED TO BARF IN THIS CLEAR RUNNING WATER BEFORE GETTING OUT OF THE LAGOON AND SITTING DOWN ON A JAGGED ROCK, HER BROTHER SITTING BESIDE HER.

TOODLE PIP CANNONBALLS OFF THE UPPER WATERFALL AND WHEN SHE SURFACES, SHE ASKS ONYXX HOW COME FOXX DIDN’T GIVE HIM THOSE DOUBLE ENTENDRES. ONYXX TELLS HER TO GO TO HELL AND SAYS THAT IT WAS A SINGLE ENTENDRE. MR. SENSITIVE, DRESSED IN A SPECIAL WHITE SWIMSUIT, SAYS THAT SINGLE OR DOUBLE, IT LOOKS LIKE IT’S HITTING THEIR GOOD MENTOR’S SWEET SPOT. ONYXX LOOKS OVER TO SEE GAMBIT HELPING FOXX OUT OF THE WATER AND SAYS THAT HE’S LOOKING TO MAKE A FOOL OUT OF HIMSELF. THEIA NODS, LOOKING ON IN INTEREST.

MEANWHILE, FOXX DIVES BACK INTO THE WATER AND EMERGES LIKE A SEXY MERMAID, WATCHING GAMBIT LOOK AT HER. SHE THEN SWIMS UP TO HIM AND WHISPERS THAT SHE KNOWS HE WANTS HER. HE JUST CAN’T ADMIT TO HIMSELF JUST HOW BAD HE WANTS HER. SHE CAN SMELL THE AROUSAL FROM HIM. GAMBIT TELLS HER THAT HE LOVES ROGUE, HIS WIFE, AND FOXX SAYS THAT SHE KNOWS HE HAS NEEDS THAT EVEN ROGUE CAN’T SATISFY. SHE THEN LEANS IN AND BITES HIS EARLOBE, NOTICING HOW HE DOESN’T TELL HER TO STOP UNTIL SHE MOVES AWAY. SHE THEN TELLS HIM TO THINK ABOUT IT. AND TO THINK ABOUT HER. AS SHE SWIMS OFF TO MEET TOODLE PIP, GAMBIT LEANS AGAINST A ROCK AND SIGHS.

LATER THAT NIGHT, THEIA WALKS UP TO FOXX, ASKING HER WHAT SHE’S DOING. FOXX CALMLY TELLS HER THAT SHE’S FIXING THE FIRE. THEIA SAYS THAT SHE’S UPSETTING THE WHOLE GROUP. THE TEAM DYNAMIC IS BEING THROWN OFF.

FOXX: YOU MEAN ONYXX HAS GOT THE HOTS FOR ME AND YOUR HEART’S FLUTTERING FOR ONYXX.

THEIA: IF YOU MUST KNOW, THE PERSON WHO MAKES MY HEART FLUTTER IS YOU. BUT THAT’S ANOTHER STORY.

FOXX: YOU’RE TELLIN’ ME.

TATTOO WALKS IN, TELLING FOXX THAT WHILE SHE USUALLY WOULDN’T CARE, SHE WOULD THINK IT COULD HELP THE TEAM IF FOXX COULD PRETEND TO HAVE FEELINGS FOR ONYXX. THEIA SHRUGS OFF THE IDEA, SAYING THAT WHILE TATTOO IS BEING BLUNT, THEY CAN BOTH AGREE THAT THEY DON’T LIKE THE WAY FOXX IS BEHAVING AROUND GAMBIT. ONYXX AND TOODLE PIP MAY HAVE WARMED UP TO HER, BUT THEY THINK THERE’S SOMETHING OFF ABOUT HER.

FOXX: WHAT I DO WITH GAMBIT IS MY BUSINESS. NOW GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY WAY, YOU SLUTS.

ENRAGED, TATTOO TELLS HER THAT SHE’S ONE TO TALK. SHE’S NOTHING BUT A BLUE-HAIRED SKANK WHO GETS OFF TO FUCKING OLDER MEN LIKE A DUMB WHORE. THEIA STEPS BACK AS FOXX GRABS TATTOO BY THE THROAT AND LIFTS HER UP IN THE AIR. TATTOO CALLS HER A HO AND TELLS HER TO LET GO OF HER THROAT, BUT FOXX SAYS THAT THIS IS THE BEST WAY TO SHUT HER UP. BEST CASE SCENARIO; SHE WON’T HAVE TO HEAR HER ANNOYING VOICE ANYMORE.

THEIA THEN STEPS UP BEHIND HER AND TELLS HER TO LET TATTOO GO. FOXX SMIRKS AND TELLS THEIA THAT SHE THOUGHT SHE LIKED HER. THEIA TELLS HER NOT ANYMORE, AND THEN CREATES A FIELD OF GRAVITY AROUND THE THREE OF THEM, CAUSING THEM ALL TO FLOAT UP IN THE AIR. TATTOO THEN PHASES THROUGH FOXX’S HAND AND DELIVERS A PUNCH TO THE STOMACH. FOXX THEN KICKS HER AWAY AND THEN GRABS A FLOATING STONE AND THROWS IT AT THEIA. THE STONE HITS HER IN THE HEAD, DRAWING BLOOD, AND SHE FALLS TO THE GROUND, HITTING HER HEAD AND KNOCKING HERSELF OUT. AS FOXX AND TATTOO FALL, FOXX GETS ON TOP OF TATTOO AND SHOVES HER TO THE GROUND, LANDING ON TOP OF HER AGAIN.

FOXX: I’M WARNING YOU, HOOD RAT. DON’T GET BETWEEN ME AND GAMBIT. OR YOU’LL END UP WITH MORE THAN A CONCUSSION.

TATTOO: YOU’RE A CRAZY BITCH!

FOXX: I MAY BE A BITCH, BUT I’M A BITCH WHO KNOWS WHAT SHE WANTS. NOW BACK THE FUCK OFF.

FOXX THEN WALKS AWAY, LEAVING TATTOO AND THEIA TO LICK THEIR WOUNDS. AS SHE DOES, SHE RECEIVES A TEXT FROM AN UNKNOWN CONTACT.

TEXT: HI! IT’S SOFIA FROM THE COURTYARD, REMEMBER? I’M ARRANGING A LITTLE GETAWAY TO HONG KONG FOR A MISSION AND I THOUGHT MAYBE YOU COULD TAG ALONG. IT’LL BE A FUN WAY TO LEARN WHAT FIELD MISSIONS ARE LIKE. TEXT ME IF YOU’RE INTERESTED.

FOXX SMILES AND THEN TEXTS BACK.

MEANWHILE, GAMBIT SITS ON A ROCK, THINKING. WITHOUT LOOKING BEHIND HIM, HE COMMENTS THAT WHOEVER’S CREEPING UP BEHIND HIM ISN’T DOING A GOOD JOB. HE SUDDENLY DODGES A FIST THROWN BY ONYXX, WHO ORDERS HIM TO STAY AWAY FROM FOXX. HE SAYS THAT HE’S LEADING HER ON AND MISUSING HIS POSITION AS A MENTOR. GAMBIT DODGES MORE ATTACKS AND SAYS THAT HE HAS NO IDEA WHAT HE’S TALKING ABOUT AND IF HE DID, IT WOULDN’T BE HIS BUSINESS.

IMMEDIATELY, A VOICE TELLS HIM THAT THEY DISAGREE. GAMBIT LOOKS OVER BRIEFLY TO SEE TOODLE PIP TELEPORT IN ALONG WITH RADIAN AND MR. SENSITIVE, THE LATTER OF WHOM SAYS THAT THEY’RE A TEAM, SO THEY’RE LOOKING AFTER THEIR TEAMMATE’S WELFARE. RADIAN SAYS THAT THEY’RE TRYING TO PROTECT HIM FROM HIS BRUTAL MENTOR, WHO PREYS ON ALL THE YOUNG GIRLS WHO PASS THROUGH HERE.

FOXX THEN STEPS UP, ASKING GAMBIT IF THERE’S TROUBLE, WHICH GAMBIT BRUSHES OFF. HE SAYS THAT IT’S GOOD THAT THEY’RE SUPPORTING EACH OTHER, AND IF THEY GET OUT OF HIS SIGHT IN TEN SECONDS, NONE OF THIS NEEDS TO GO ANY FURTHER. IF THEY DON’T, THINGS GET MESSY. THEIA AND TATTOO STEP IN, VERY BANGED UP, AND GUY ASKS THEM WHAT HAPPENED. THEIA SIMPLY RESPONDS THAT THEY RAN INTO A GRIZZLY BEAR.

AS THE SQUAD WALKS OFF, FOXX TELLS GAMBIT THAT HE SHOULD APPRECIATE HER STICKING UP FOR HIM. GAMBIT SIGHS AND SAYS THAT HE’S GOING TO ASK EMMA TO TRANSFER HER TO ANOTHER CLASS. UNDER A DIFFERENT MENTOR. FOXX TELLS HIM THAT SHE LIKES HIM, AND GAMBIT SAYS THAT HE LIKES HER, BUT NOT IN THAT WAY. FOXX CALLS HIM A LIAR, AND SAYS THAT SHE KNOWS HE’S TRYING TO GET RID OF HER. SHE STARTS TO WALK TOWARD HIM AND ASKS HER IF HER EYES WERE AS SHINY AS BEFORE. AND HER TEETH LOOK SHARPER.

FOXX: YOU’RE TRYING TO GET RID OF ME BECAUSE YOU WANT ME. YOU WANT ME SO BAD YOU CAN’T SLEEP AND WHEN YOU DO SLEEP, YOU DREAM ABOUT ME. YOU WANT ME MORNING. NOON. NIGHT. YOU WANT THIS. BUT DO YOU THINK YOU COULD WANT THIS?

ALL OF A SUDDEN, FOXX BEGINS TO CHANGE. HER SKIN TURNS BLUE, HER HAIR RECEDES TO HER SHOULDERS AND TURNS RED, HER EYES SOLIDIFY TO YELLOW AND HER CLOTHES BECOME A SKINTIGHT BLACK CROP TOP AND HOT PANTS. GAMBIT BACKS AWAY, CONFUSED, AND ASKS FOXX WHAT’S HAPPENING TO HER.

MYSTIQUE: FOXX? FOXX IS A WOMAN I CREATED TO SEDUCE YOU.

GAMBIT: MYSTIQUE. IN THE NAME OF GOD, ROGUE IS YOUR STEP-DAUGHTER! THIS IS SICK!

MYSTIQUE: OKAY, WELL, MAYBE FOXX WAS A MISTAKE, BUT I’M ONLY TRYING TO HELP. I WANT TO TEST YOU TO SEE IF YOU’RE A GOOD FIT FOR ROGUE. AND YOU PASSED. YOU REFUSED THE PERFECT WOMAN, ALTHOUGH BARELY.

GAMBIT: I’LL… I’LL TELL FROST. I WILL!

MYSTIQUE: I WOULDN’T DO THAT. AFTER ALL, I WONDER WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF ROGUE WERE TO FIND OUT THAT WE HAD SEX RIGHT HERE.

GAMBIT: SO YOU’RE BLACKMAILING ME?

MYSTIQUE: WHY, I WOULD NEVER DO THAT TO MY STEPSON-IN-LAW. BUT I CAN SEE THAT THIS IS NOT WHAT I HAD PLANNED. I WILL GIVE UP THIS CRUSADE IF YOU DO SOMETHING FOR ME.

GAMBIT: WHAT?

MYSTIQUE: IT APPEARS I’VE MADE A LASTING IMPRESSION HERE. A YOUNG GIRL JUST INVITED ME ON A MISSION TO HONG KONG. SOME KIND OF INITIATION, I THINK. HERE, AS FOXX, I CAN FAKE MY DEATH ON SAID MISSION AND LEAVE YOU ALONE. BUT I NEED YOU TO COME WITH ME AND BE MY COVER.

GAMBIT REFUSES TO HELP HER AFTER WHAT SHE DID, BUT MYSTIQUE SAYS THAT HE RARELY HAS A CHOICE. AS FOXX, SHE CAN SAY AND DO ANYTHING. AND AS A STUDENT, SHE’S SURE EMMA WOULD BELIEVE HER WHEN SHE TELLS HER ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED HERE. GAMBIT SIGHS, AND THEN TELLS MYSTIQUE THAT THEY HAVE A DEAL, AS LONG AS SHE LEAVES HIM ALONE.

WITH THAT, MYSTIQUE SHIFTS BACK INTO FOXX AND WALKS OFF, TELLING GAMBIT SHE’LL SEE HIM LATER. AS SHE DOES, WE SEE TOODLE PIP HIDING IN THE BUSHES, A LOOK OF SHOCK ON HER FACE AS SHE HEARS EVERYTHING.

A Guide to The Most Fashionable Women’s Dresses Trends

Every fashionista knows how important it is to know the current trends in the ever-changing fashion world of fashion. As we count down to the halfway mark of 2023, let's take a look at the hottest new styles in women's clothing. We are here to help you look your best no matter the occasion, from elegant luxury classy night out outfits to chic women’s going-out dresses.

Slip Dresses Have Ruled for Years In 2023, slip dresses will once again be crowned queen. This dress is simple yet attractive, making it a great investment and staple piece to any wardrobe. If you want to feel like a princess, go for a satin slip dress with lace trim. For a stylish and edgy style, layer it under a fitted blazer or wear it under a leather jacket. Put the finishing touch on your look with a pair of ankle boots or strappy sandals for an air of refined simplicity.

Accept the Grace: Exquisitely Stylish Attire of Luxury This year, we have seen traditional and refined ‘old money’ looks make a comeback with Sofia Richie being the ultimate muse. Elegance is in. Consider classic cuts, high-end materials, and meticulous finishing. For formal occasions, special events, or simply a night on the town, elegant luxury classy outfits are ideal. To emanate an aura of timelessness and elegance, choose nudes and neutrals, classic black and whites (very Chanel-esque) with a splash of rich colours to give your outfit an air of grandeur.

Dresses for Women to Release Their Inner Diva In 2023, we’ve also seen the revival of colour in women’s going out dresses and outfits. It’s all about bright, eye-catching hues like blazing pinks and reds, electrifying blue, and brilliant yellow. To inject some drama into your ensemble, try trying asymmetrical hemlines, deep V-necks, and slash openings. If you want to harness your inner diva and stand out from the crowd, don't be afraid to wear sequins, metallic materials, and vivid designs.

The Discreet Appeal of Feathers Dresses embellished with feathers exude a sense of grandeur and splendour in the year 2023. Hemlines, sleeves, and ornamental details are just some of the places where feathers are showing up in the latest runway collections. If you want to make a strong fashion statement, choose a dress with feather trimmings or a garment covered with feathers. We have seen feather’s in trend for a little while now but it seems that feathers are still here to stay.

Make a Statement A luxury cocktail dress is an absolute must-have for those special evenings and expensive occasions. Cocktail dresses in the year 2023 include eye-catching decorations, elaborate beading, and unique materials. This is the year of ‘overdressing’ (p.s. there is no such thing as over-dressing) and if you want to create an impact, choose a dress with attention-grabbing details like dramatic ruffles, puffy sleeves, or an unexpected cut. Particularly fashionable are metallic tones like silver, gold, and bronze, which bring out the glitz in any outfit. Wear a pair of eye-catching shoes and keep your accessories to a minimum to allow the focus to remain on your outfit.

Eco-Friendly Dresses Are Taking Off, Thanks to Sustainable Fashion In 2023, eco-friendly gowns are all the rage due to the fashion industry's growing interest in sustainability. These days, you can get gorgeous gowns that are also sustainable since designers are employing organic fabrics, repurposed materials, and eco-friendly dyes. You can look nice and do your part for the environment by purchasing items like ethically sourced silk and gowns made from recycled plastic bottles.

Tonnes of Fluffy Ruffles and Frills Ruffles and frills, formerly considered dated, are having a major moment in 2023. This style gives your garments more volume and motion, whether it's in the form of a flowing ruffle down the front of a dress or dainty frills embellishing the sleeves. If you're going for a fun and flirty style, go for dresses with ruffled necklines or tiered ruffle skirts. Ruffled gowns look especially lovely when dyed in pastels like lavender and blush and neutral colours for the ultimate feminine look.

Translucent Fabrics or Sheer Pleasures Dresses for ladies that include see-through textiles will be common in 2023. Dresses are becoming increasingly ethereal and enticing as designers add layers of sheer fabric such as tulle and organza. Dresses featuring transparent sleeves, sheer bodices, or sheer panels are a great way to reveal some flesh while still looking put together. Sheer fabrics with embellishments such as embroidery, lace appliques, or sequins make a bold fashion statement. ‍

Put on a Suit: Formal Pantsuits In 2023, dressy looks aren't reserved for only skirts and gowns—dressy pantsuits are all the rage as a chic and liberating alternative. For an elegant and confident appearance, select a fitted pantsuit in a lavish fabric, such as velvet or satin. Try out some emerald green or a rich plum if you want to stand out. Pantsuits can also come in the variety of cropped trousers or wide-leg trousers and options to suit your taste.

Our verdict? The fashion industry has presented us with a wide range of chic and on-trend clothing options for the year 2023. There is something for every fashion-conscious woman, from elegant luxury classy outfits to eye-catching going-out dresses. Explore eco-friendly and sustainable solutions while appreciating the timeless beauty of classic cuts.

Whatever your taste, you can be sure to find a way to make a statement that is uniquely you.

Just finished Yellow Jacket and LOVED the ending! I loved it when Webby was doing Lex's nails and makeup and we saw that she was the closest thing Lex ever had to a mother, and I loved it when we saw that Sofia was okay and she and Daniel went to the wedding! The whole guest list was funny tbh, Pete was there because Hannah insisted on inviting Steph, Tim and Becky were there because Lex invited Tom, and Paul was there because Ethan invited his Smoke Club pals (including Emma). Good times.

Btw me and my friend came up with Yellowfire as a Hannah/Sofia ship name :3

[eternitas]

Homoerotic subtext here, political comentary on the cold war there

What about the most important discourse of all:

Which of the outfits was the best and why is it Ice Pick Joes yellow jacket?

[sugas-sweetheart]

me in my bathroom mirror at 2am lip syncing to songs and audios with my makeup still on, but with the addition of two moles drawn on my forehead so I may pretend to be fem Sakusa/the equivalent of his annoying slightly younger sister 💀

Mars wore what he usually did when he was backstage and not yet dressed for a performance, notably a comfortable pair of black sweatpants with skeletal anatomy so he looked like his lower body was just bones, and since the seasons here were cold he wore a long sleeved black shirt beneath a fleece lined leather jacket, collar turned up against the cold and a black beanie, which he was just starting to remove when he walked into the dressing room in the back, saying his usual greetings to the usual dancers and other performers that he knew.

He nose and cheeks showed the weather, flushed red against the cold outside and now he was without the beanie covering his brow, it revealed some butterfly stitches on his left eyebrow and discolored skin, a watercolor of a bruise blooming over his temple on the left side of his face in faded yellows and purples and pinpricks of red where the skin was scraped. It didn't look bad, but it also didn't look good as it was on the left side of his face, but he smiled as he greeted his friends and they were too polite to mention it and one gestured toward the petite frame of a new girl talking to a few others further in.

Mars was shouldering off his leather jacket as he approached, "'Ey, you Sofia?" His Chicagoan accent would sound in stark contrast to the warmer and more fluid British accents that filled the room, his voice a lot lower, deeper, and a lot more harsh in comparison to the friendly British accent. ""m Mars, part of da welcomin' committee."

♚ Thank fuck for indoor heating. Sofia was still getting used to how freaking cold the country was, goosebumps only just starting to fade from her skin though she'd already shoved the clothing she had come in wearing into the early 00's cartoon weekender, the fabric now covered with additional patches for shows like Scooby Doo and Courage the Cowardly Dog, along with ones for a few different bands. Certainly the bag didn't quite fit the tropical attire she had shifted into but Sofia intended to keep it basic her first night, easy appeal, before she started to show up in her more specialised styles.

♚ She really did need her vanity though, barefaced as she'd changed in the middle of the dressing room while other dancers got ready around her. The manager had told her that a guy named Mars would be helping show her around but he hadn't arrived yet, not necessarily because he was late but likely because Sofia was early. Not only was she adjusting to the temperature but also trying to get around, it had felt odd how easy it was to just walk to work but she had, not getting lost even once.

♚ Sofia used the free time to talk to a few of the other dancers, introducing herself and comparing body glitters as Sofia applied some brand she had brought over from home and apparently was not sold here. She was likely midway through a comparison of the different kinds, what might work best with her skintone and what didn't apply like ice in the winter months, when Mars arrived.
