Girl Talk (AFD)

[Shade]

The blow came completely unexpected and maybe Shade would have been able to at least halfway dodge it, but not after a few cocktails. With a half surprised, half painful ´Hmph´she felt her head swing to the side under the impact of the fistpunch and clapped her hand across her lip. "Ouch!" she exclaimed, swaying for a moment and giving Bel the most believable glare that was possible in her condition. "This better be worth it." She wiped a hand across her lip, looking at the blood for a moment, before trying to focus again. "We need knock some things over and stuff." she then said, dragging the blanket of the bed askew a little. "And we need to hurry, cause I got no idea where he was when I called him."

[Gambit]

"D'accord," Bella nodded. She looked around in a busy manner, meanwhile thinking that the blow did feel nice. It was a pity she couldn't adopt Gambit's girlfriend as her own personal punching bag. "D'ya think he'd mind if we trashed de place some? Like... broken chairs, cut-up bed covers?"

[Shade]

Through her drunken haze, Shade noticed a small voice that did not like the idea. It was a funny idea and it would add so much to the realism, but still... "Oh I dunno..." she said slowly. "Maybe just a little. Breaking things would be kinda mean wouldn´t it?"

[Gambit]

"He'll survive," Bel said with an affirmative nod at her own statement and, taking a floor lamp that was standing near the chair, smashed it against the mirror. Then she laughed, obviously pleased by the result, and walked over to the bed to ruffle up the covers and to toss the pillows around. One of the pillows she ripped, but it was filled with polyester batting and didn't produce a mess of feathers.

[Shade]

Shade could feel she was getting restless. It was an odd feeling, because it contrasted strangely with her drunken state. "Come on, come on, that will do." she said, making a hurry-up gesture with her hand, hopping on her place a bit like a child. "If he comes here before we´re done with this, it´ll all be for nothing." Plus, there was one more thing she thought needed fixing, she added to herself wiping some more blood off her chin.

[Gambit]

"Eh bon," Bella shrugged, then walked over to a more spacious part of the floor and lay down in a picturesque pose. "Come on, cherie, do your best, tie me up like a good girl," she teased, not altogether enjoying the prospect of playing the loser part, but it would all be worth it when LeBeau would buy their prank.

[Shade]

Shade walked over to her, somehow managing to make it without staggering too much. Starting with Bel´s hands first which she tied behind her back, she made sure to pull the knots tight enough they wouldn´t slip. Then she moved over to the feet, again making sure that they were fastened nicely, not allowing much movement, double checking like this was a really important stuff.

"Oh don´t you worry about that." she slurred when she was nearly done. "I got practice tying up Cajuns."

[Gambit]

Bella Donna laughed, then made a face. "Ya tryin' to make me jealous or somethin'?" she inquired. She tried moving her hands and feet to see if the ties would look convincing for Gambit.

[Shade]

Shade gave a lopsided grin. "Nah." she said. "I just thought I´d throw in some trivia. To show that when I tie up people it holds."

She stood up against, looking down at Bel with her eyebrows raised. "You know." she then said. "there is something missing. Cause it was me who´s supposed to be the believable winner of this, right?" And with that she bent down and gave Bel a smack on the nose.

[Gambit]

Bella gave a yelp and then an indignant " 'eeey!" - looking really pissed off. "Dis not been in the script!" she objected. "I'd never let ya near my nose in a fight!" she added, fuming in indignation, but speaking somewhat slower because of the alcohol.

[Shade]

"I would have fought you with my powers." Shade gave back straightening up. "You wouldn´t have seen it coming that easily. And I´m quite good at punching noses. Gambit´s seen that before." It was reference back to the bar brawl which Bel would probably not get but...damn, that had felt good. And besides, the punch she herself had gotten earlier had not been in the script either.

"I´ll be back soon then." she said. "gonna go pick up Gambit."

[Gambit]

"Wait-wait-wait," Bella said, wriggling her shoulders a bit as if trying to beckon Shade. She sniffled slightly; there seemed to be blood trickling from her nose. She was going to so beat up Shade after this night. "Whatcha gonna tell 'im? What's our plan?"

[Shade]

Shade had already been at the door but turned around, looking through the room. "uhm..." she thought, or tried to. "I think it would be most fun if he didn´t know you were here until he steps in, don´t you think? I could, uhm, tell him I got a surprise for him." She was walking a bit towards Bel again now, suddenly all excited about her simple run of thoughts because that was a rare thing to happen with so much alcohol inside her. "I could tell him I´m gonna make him a free man and ..." She pointed at the nightstand. "Here. Here´s some paper. I could say I tied you up so we could force you to sign the divorce. But it´s more fun if you play along and like only agree if he promises to marry me instead. Which is something he wouldn´t do I´m sure."

[Gambit]

Bella held a pause. She wasn't sure she liked where this could be heading. But then she thought she'd definitely come up with something to swing the events to her side if it turned out to be for real and not actually a prank. For now, she'd play along. "Sho," she said. "You should also gag me, by de way, he won't buy it if I just lie here."

[Shade]

Shade pursed her lip. Which looked funny with the bruise. "Good point." she said, walking through the room again and opening one of the drawers, then another. "Oh that will do." she said, grinning like a kid and holding up a ball gag.
