who: bruce @brokenbeauties where: wayne manor

the pantry only offered rice and the fridge house an underwhelming variety of sauces. alice hated shopping for groceries, but if there was ever a time to, now would be it. she munched on her last apple, making a mental list of what to pick up when the image of bruce's beautiful, big kitchen popped into her head. a smile and plan on action immediately came to alice and she was out the door and knocking on bruce's soon after. "i just need some sugar for the muffins i'm making," she shouted in hopes her voice would carry through the thick front doors. "for the team, i mean," she quickly added, thinking it would make her more welcome.

the guesses of what was in alice's bag made a smile sprout across her face as relief settled in. it was always a comfort to see kitty, but maybe even more so in this moment of mischief. "there may be... a bit of all of that in here," alice told her, speaking low and slow in theatrical way as she hunched her shoulders and leaned in. she unzipped a large part of the bag to let kitty peak inside at the sparkly jumpsuit wrapped in the laces of her skates, tangled up in a wig, and much more jumbled in. somehow, alison would be able to separate all the pieces and bring them back to her person in a bright and funky fashion. all that seemed so far now that kitty was opening up the space for vulnerability. alice bit back the threat of sentiment. "first of all, lipgloss does heal all wounds. might even help with that foot someone stepped one," she started with a wink. "and second of all, i'll only be gone for the night and back in the morning to do whatever you guys need." alice didn't think too much about the promise, not wanting to consider how likely it might be broken. "you can come with me, kitty. we can have a girls' night in metroyork, dance and sing— oh! i even have an extra dress i know will fit you!" with the invitation, alice felt less avoidant, less like a liar. "when was the last time we had some fun like that?"

"whoa,  easy  there,  stealth  queen,"  kitty  laughed,  taking  half  a  step  back  as  if  recovering  from  a  near-collision,  hands  raised  in  mock  surrender.  "that  bag  better  be  full  of  glitter  and  smoke  machines  and  not,  i  dunno,  questionable  snacks  or  questionable  choices."  her  tone  was  light,  teasing but  her  gaze  lingered  for  a  second  longer,  sharper  than  the  smile  she  wore.  "you  really  thought  you  were  gonna  sneak  past  me?  come  on,  alison.  i’ve  known  you  since  you  thought  lip  gloss  could  solve  every  emotional  crisis.  what’s  in  the  bag  and  where’s  the  stage?"  then,  as  if  softening  the  edge,  she  bumped  her  shoulder  gently  against  alison’s.   "you  don’t  have  to  disappear  every  time  things  get  heavy,  you  know.  we  kinda  like  having  you  around even  if  you  leave  a  trail  of  sequins  wherever  you  go."  a  pause    "…and  also,  you  totally  stepped  on  my  foot.  i'm  telling  everyone."

who: anyone! @assemblerpstarters where: star haven

ignoring her duties for the resistance had been easy once they’d realized alison was still in a state of denial. the norm of her shirking responsibilities to perform would have gotten her pushed out had she not so passionately rejected the other factions. playing pretend was getting more and more difficult however; she found herself less willing to stray from hq in recent days. currently, she was slinking around, trying to lay low as she held a duffle bag close to her person. in it, supplies for her performance later that night. she didn't need anyone to know where she was or that she was leaving star haven, but she gave herself away as she rounded a corner and stepped on someone's foot. "ah!" she yelped as if it had been her foot that'd been stepped on. "where are you going!" alice didn't even understand the question herself, wishing she'd been quick enough to bite her tongue.

"do you know how many regrets have come from avoiding 'problems'?" alice asked, doing her best to contain her temper. she'd spotted his and the drunken woman’s exit from the stage, though anyone else would have been blinded by the glaring spotlight, ali's mutant abilities protected her eyes. by the time she'd been able to act it was too late, but now that they're path crossed again, she did not want to let him slide by. still, she was open to hearing him out. “you just took her home? you haven’t seen her since?” ali’s eyes scanned the man’s features, hoping to read him well enough to know whether he was telling the truth or not. she stood with her hands in her hips.

"you seriously about to try and get up in my business? it's not what it looks like. alright? she was drunk, now i'm guessin' her friends left or there was a miscommunication but she was alone. didn't want any of the guys that were hecklin' her to try somethin' so i made sure she got home. that's it." frank didn't know whether they were a friend of this girl's, partner or they were just someone out trying to pull the hero card which -- with how screwed up things were right now? was real damn stupid but whatever it was... he wanted to make it very clear that he didn't do that. he was capable of hurting people plenty but the innocent? and like that? no, that wasn't him or what he was about at all. "... this doesn't have to be a problem." they really didn't want to make it one if that's why they were still standing there. @assemblerpstarters

as sympathetic as alice was, she could not relate to lorna. even when she didn't like something about herself, she was always certain of who she was. "i try not to think about it too much," she responded earnestly, "but i always make sure there's space for me." alice could perhaps have been more concise: she made the space for herself, always demanding no one forget she was in the room. her presence made it clear, though her own glitz and glam couldn't distract alice from lorna's woes. "maybe if you come to my show tonight, you'll be have too much fun to even think about this stuff. after, we'll go out dancing and whatever worry comes flittering into your brain will poof!—" ali's hands opened for a beat for added effect— "body roll it away." a wave rolled down her body, her smile gleaming.

" do you ever get the feeling that you're not where you're meant to be ? " her words were quiet but held significance behind them. for so long, lorna had spent her life trying to figure out where she belonged, who she was. it seemed as though there was some cruel fate out there laughing at her because they had decided to leave the green haired woman with missing memories. " but the awful truth is that you don't know where you are meant to be but it's that gnawing feeling inside of you, reminding you of it. am i making sense or is this all in my head ? "

*ೃ✧˚. "I could have been a lawyer. But I wanted something more. I wanted to entertain. I got way more than I bargained for, though. I thought I had to be one or the other. I gave it that power. I made some bad decisions. I lost myself. I let myself be the label. The mutant. The has-been. The joke. But the greatest realization I made in all of this is that it doesn't matter how everyone sees me. I'm not just a mutant. Or a singer. Or any one thing… All of this is me."

TL;DR BIOGRAPHY —

Born for bops, destined to fight. Alice's passion for music and entertainment started young. Some might even say it was genetic considering her mother’s jazz career. Yet she also possessed a deep interest in justice and knowledge that was a clear echo of her father’s judicial practicality. Going against his wishes, she pursed a music career. Trying to balance being a artist and mutant has been difficult since Alice has never been able to deny the X-Men help ever since their initial encounter with each other. Since then, she's never come close to reaching the same peak from when she was younger, hitting an all time low once she revealed to the public that she's a mutant. Presently, amongst the chaos of splitting factions, as long as she gets to perform, Alice has resorted to not caring too much, making her a quite useless to the Resistance. How long that will last for someone who's whole sequence of life events has been driven by caring deeply and fighting for her fate... who knows.

HEAD CANNONS —

A lot easier to make smile and laugh than some might initially think since rumors have gone around that she's a big diva (she's not... but she is really girly)

Though the name Alison does connect with my girl, it has also become her professional name. To separate herself from the stage and public, she goes by Alice or Ali in her day-to-day life. She also really likes being called Dazzler hehe

Alison Blaire is a name people may recognize due to the small handful of singles she released in her early twenties that became really popular (one song was even dubbed a "song of the summer" à la Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepson)

Her genre of music is heavily influenced by disco, though she has been known to experiment in other genres and even has a punk band she performs with (possible wcs???)

If you get close enough to her, it might seem like the noise doesn't quite reach her, but really she's just absorbing it in case she needs to convert it into something like an energy blast or hologram

Voted Most Likely To Dance All Night
