All I Want For Christmas

Though many students might prefer going to London, Maldon provides closer amenities for those without a car or unwilling to pay for a cab. Several pubs are available, though the Rose and Crown is notable for having been where Excalibur spent a good deal of their downtime. Also of note is the Plume Library, home to many rare books.

"Well, I mean, I suppose if they want to. But in my experience, no one wants to be gloomy. They just feel it's their only option in a gloomy world.

That's the point of art, though, isn't it? To add color and light?"

"See, now that is super-cool. I bet ice powers come in really handy there. Like, hey evil doer! Ka-pow! Freeeeeeeze," she said, making appropriate hand gestures and arm swings to simulate Tereza stopping some sort of baddy in their tracks.

"Well, that's why you have teammates, right? All working together. It's very cool.

Hey, do you think it'd be possible for me to paint a group portrait? Of the X-Teams, I mean. I think it'd go great for my portfolio project."

"If she's the headmistress, she probably knows a great many things we don't. Otherwise, she'd be the student, right?" Rose laughed. Again.


"I've got this whole plan worked out -- I'm hoping to do an entire series of portraits on the Mutant form. In formal settings, casual setting, intimate settings -- the whole lot. The idea is to show the entire rainbow of the Mutant experience, and celebrate all of it's aspects. I've already got a Genoshan praetor lined up for a portrait, so I figured the X-Teams would be a good counterbalance to that."

"Excellent!" she said, pulling out a small notepad and writing something down. "I do always hope for volunteers; posing results in much more detailed portraits than photo reference and sketches."

"You'd also know better than I would what everyone can do. With a cryokenetic, maybe something over the water might be an interesting power display, though I'm trying to get away from the pure 'rawr, here's my might' sort of thing. Everyone thinks that's all mutants do, anyway."

"There's plenty of snow around the school now, so maybe something with that? The cold doesn't bother me, so you could do something that plays on that and it's less of an overt display. You're the artist though."
