Wolf had been a busy bee when it comes to work. He had to get his orchestra ready in time for their Christmas concert which would last pretty much all month. It would be a fun concert with many different types of Christmas songs. Some were classics, some were comparatively new. Of course Handel's Messiah was his finale but he also included orchestrated versions of Christmas in Killarney (in which he hired a soloist in bouzouki music from Ireland), We Need a Little Christmas, and few others. He wanted to keep his audience on his toes. He also threw in some Hanukkah favorites as well for equal opportunity sake. It also had been difficult to fix a few kinks in his orchestra since a few members left after his world tour. One of his second clarinetist grew pregnant and had to leave. He lost a trumpet player for what Wolf thought was due to to his "suspected" condition. This trumpet player expressed anti-mutant views and Wolf subtly let him know he didn't accept behavior like that. His timpanist also left because he got a better deal elsewhere. So Wolf had to hold auditions in which his strive for perfection and his love of the hedonistic seemed to clash. Hiring for the trumpet was easy enough. He went for a well known 1st trumpet in the industry who often approached Wolf for a job. Wolf, impressed by his talent, sadly never had a place for him all the times this trumpeter approached him. Finally, when the spot opened up, Wolf approached the trumpeter with the job. As for the other two positions, Wolf's hedonistic side took over. His second clarinet he was admittedly charmed by. It was a young man from Latvia or Estonia or one of the Baltic States who graduated from no special college in the clarinet. He moved to America for the "opportunity". His eagerness and strong heart in the music really intrigued Wolf. He was by no means the most talented clarinet but it was the heart (and perhaps he was a bit good looking too) that caused for him to make his decision. His timpanist he admittedly chose because there was something about a female timpanist that was oddly hot. It came down to her and this other fellow but both were equally good so he bit for the girl. The three had to fit into the already established orchestra which Wolf had to re reel in. The trumpeter saw some of those in his section as newbies and there was a scuffle about that. A few other percussionists were distracted by the new Timpanist. And the first clarinet was tired of green attitude of the clarinetist. Wolf was skilled in his abilities as conductor so could gain control of them. He didn't hesitate to use his abilities either.

With all his hard work, Wolf decided on one of his afternoons off to visit his friend Tony. But a traditional greeting was never Orpheus's way. He usually found Tony was slow to get up so decided to come mid-afternoon to surprise him. Coming into the Stark residence using either his ability or that he had been there before, maybe a bit of both, he set up camp in Tony's office. He had brought with him a bottle of scotch as an offering. In Wolf's jacket, he had a pair of tickets to hand his friend to his premiere performance. Chicks love orchestras, Wolf would often say. It was just a way to get more people to come. Not like he needed it. His orchestra was quite popular. Just to set the mood, Wolf also put on Mozart's Symphony No. 40 and blasted it as loud as it would go. Like said before, Wolf wasn't the one for traditional greetings.

He then sat in Tony's desk chair, feet on the desk and calmly conducted to the music. Now, all he had to do was wait.
