Going for a drink with Shade (transferred)

[Gambit]

Posted by Rogue on Mar 6, 2007, 23:20
Rogue opened the door to the bar, worn out. Her breathing was fast and she fell rather ungracefully onto a bar stool.
Posted by Shade on Mar 6, 2007, 23:21
Shade slumped on a stool next to her and ran a hand through her hair. the weather was rather nasty as it was raining. "I feel like I need something strong, but I guess that?s not the best idea I had today" she said
Posted by Rogue on Mar 6, 2007, 23:23
'Why not? Be adventurous,' Rogue said with a grin
Posted by Shade on Mar 6, 2007, 23:26
Shade scoffed slightly. "I guess you remember how low my tolerance is. I might better stick to coke."
Posted by Rogue on Mar 6, 2007, 23:27
Rogue laughed.
'Fine then. Two cokes,' she said to the barman, pushing her hair out of her eyes.
Posted by Shade on Mar 6, 2007, 23:30
Shade let out a sigh and tiredly lowered her forehead to the barcounter with a ?clong? She was feeling exhausted.
Posted by Rogue on Mar 6, 2007, 23:32
'Tired?'
Rogue asked as she slid Shade's coke towards her, taking a sip of her own
Posted by Shade on Mar 6, 2007, 23:34
"uhu." Shade said without lifting her head, before she looked up again and wiped a hand across her face to chase away the drowsiness. "Didn?t sleep too well." She took a sip of her coke.
Posted by Rogue on Mar 6, 2007, 23:34
'Insomnia seems to be catching at the mansion.'
Posted by Shade on Mar 6, 2007, 23:36
"Yeah." Shade said "Seems to spread like some sort of disease around there.
Posted by Rogue on Mar 6, 2007, 23:40
Rogue nodded.
'I hate it.'
Posted by Shade on Mar 6, 2007, 23:43
Shade rubbed her eyes, taking another gulp of the coke, hoping it would vizalize her a little. "Yeah. Never having trouble with that normally. Still, I?m glad I?m not a telepath or empath so at least there aren?t other people?s restless feelings and thoughts keeping me from sleeping." She made a face. "I guess some of the people up there can?t be envied for their powers with all the hubbub going on."
Posted by Rogue on Mar 6, 2007, 23:44
'Yeah. That's my the Prof's got me on drugs - so I don't have to relive everyone else's memories. My own are bad enough.'
Posted by Shade on Mar 6, 2007, 23:45
"I bet." she said. "So but it?s getting better with the stuff the prof gives you?"
Posted by Rogue on Mar 6, 2007, 23:46
Rogue shrugged
'I don't wake up or scream so I guess it's working.'
Posted by Shade on Mar 6, 2007, 23:48
She smiled tiredly. "Well, that?s a start." she said. "You looked exhaustd these past few weeks."
Posted by Rogue on Mar 6, 2007, 23:50
Rogue smiled
'Don't I know it. Death warmed up with white streaks.'
Posted by Shade on Mar 6, 2007, 23:51
Shade chuckled slightly. "I?d not have said it that drastically, but something along that, yeah." she agreed.
Posted by Rogue on Mar 6, 2007, 23:53
Rogue smiled and drank some more of her coke.
'What's your favourite colour?' she asked out of the blue
Posted by Shade on Mar 6, 2007, 23:56
Shade grinned inwardly at the aprupt change of topic.
"Hm..." she said thinking, but not for long. "red." she said. "Yours?"
Posted by Rogue on Mar 6, 2007, 23:57
'green.' Rogue said immediately, 'hence the extreme amount of green in my wardrobe.'
Posted by Shade on Mar 6, 2007, 23:58
Shade laughed. "Well, half of my shirts are red for the same reason." she said.
Posted by Rogue on Mar 6, 2007, 23:59
'It's a good colour on you,' Rogue said, finishing her coke
Posted by Shade on Mar 7, 2007, 0:00
"Thanks" Shade said with a little smile.
"Hm... favourite animal?" she prompted.
Posted by Rogue on Mar 7, 2007, 0:02
'Horse. reminds me of back home - you?'
Posted by Shade on Mar 7, 2007, 0:04
Again she didn?t have to think long. "Wolves." she said spontaneously.
Posted by Rogue on Mar 7, 2007, 0:05
'Wolves? cool.'
Rogue ran a hand through her two tone hair and thought.
'Favourite season?'
Posted by Shade on Mar 7, 2007, 0:06
"Summer, definitly. I can?t stand the cold." she said
Posted by Rogue on Mar 7, 2007, 0:07
Rogue laughed.
'I like the spring.'
Posted by Shade on Mar 7, 2007, 0:09
"if it?s not one of those rainy springs, yeah" Shade agreed, thinking about another question.
"Hm.. favourite taste?"
Posted by Rogue on Mar 7, 2007, 0:10
'ahh now here I'm a cheesy romance lover - strawberries and champagne. You?'
Posted by Shade on Mar 7, 2007, 0:12
She laughed slightly at her reply. "How sappy" she said jokingly, poking her in the ribs slightly. "Hm.. let?s see. I?m the big kid, I guess. Chocolate."
Posted by Rogue on Mar 7, 2007, 0:15
Rogue poked Shade back.
'Chocolate is good. Favourite feature on a guy?'
Posted by Shade on Mar 7, 2007, 0:16
"That?s an easy one" she said. "Eyes."
Posted by Rogue on Mar 7, 2007, 0:16
'There I have to agree with you,' Rogue said, 'the eyes tell everything.'
Posted by Shade on Mar 7, 2007, 0:19
"Absolutely true." Shade said taking another sip from her drink.
"Favourite disney character?"
Posted by Rogue on Mar 7, 2007, 0:19
'Ariel from the little mermaid,' Rogue said with a blush 'you?'
Posted by Shade on Mar 7, 2007, 0:23
"awww" Shade said in a girlish voice. "I guess it?d be Simba from the lion king for me."
Posted by Rogue on Mar 7, 2007, 0:24
'He's cool. Favourite past time?'
Posted by Shade on Mar 7, 2007, 0:25
"He is." she agreed. "Although I could never quite decide if he or Scar is cooler." she grinned. "Hm... reading I think."

[Gambit]

Posted by Rogue on Mar 7, 2007, 0:27
'I've never been that good a reader,' Rogue confessed, 'but I love playing the piano.'
Posted by Shade on Mar 7, 2007, 0:28
"Really?" she asked. "Not that’s cool. I guess I’m totally untalented in that."
Posted by Rogue on Mar 7, 2007, 0:29
Rogue smiled.
'My mum taught me, it was the only thing really that we did together. I was more of a daddy's girl.'
Posted by Shade on Mar 7, 2007, 0:31
"Neat." she said. "me too" she then added. "Being more of a daddy’s girl I mean." she felt a little sting, missing the two of them all of a sudden.
Posted by Rogue on Mar 7, 2007, 0:32
Rogue smiled
'What did you wanna be when you were little?'
Posted by Shade on Mar 7, 2007, 0:34
She smiled. "Couldn’t really decide between an astronaut and a zoo keeper" she said.
Posted by Rogue on Mar 7, 2007, 0:36
Rogue giggled.
'Sounds cool. I wanted to be an explorer and adventurer.'
Posted by Shade on Mar 7, 2007, 0:39
"Well, looks as if we didn’t really get near that then." Shade mused.
Posted by Rogue on Mar 7, 2007, 0:40
'Yeah I guess but being part of a group of superheroes and villians is pretty cool.'
Posted by Shade on Mar 7, 2007, 0:42
"Point taken" she agreed. "I bet a whole lot of astronauts and adventurers will be pretty envious with us."
Posted by Rogue on Mar 7, 2007, 0:43
'Indeed. We have superpowers.' she grinned and ordered another drink.
Posted by Shade on Mar 7, 2007, 0:45
"Yeah, and terribly cool ones too" Shade added with a grin. "Mine are so cool they can make tables invisible. If I learn to channel them better I might be able to create peepholes in walls and stuff like that." She laughed.
Posted by Rogue on Mar 7, 2007, 0:46
'That would be so cool!' Rogue squealed excitedly
Posted by Shade on Mar 7, 2007, 0:47
"We’re so cool" Shade giggled. "Being a new step in evolution and all and using it like to pry on guys in changing rooms or something."
Posted by Rogue on Mar 7, 2007, 0:49
'That's what eveolution is for!' she said with a giggle
Posted by Shade on Mar 7, 2007, 0:50
"It better should" she agreed.
Posted by Rogue on Mar 7, 2007, 0:51
'So, favourite smell?'
Posted by Shade on Mar 7, 2007, 0:53
"Hm.. now that’s not an easy one" she said thinking for a moment before she said. "Fir needles."
Posted by Rogue on Mar 7, 2007, 0:55
'Cinnamon,' Rogue replied with a smile
Posted by Shade on Mar 7, 2007, 0:56
"Oh, yeah, forgot about that." Shade nodded. "All those cozy dozy Christmas smells are great."
Posted by Rogue on Mar 7, 2007, 0:58
Rogue nodded enthusiastically 'Christmas rocks'
Posted by Shade on Mar 7, 2007, 0:59
"It so does." Shade agreed.
"Hm... what else do we have... what about your favourite item of clothing?"
Posted by Rogue on Mar 7, 2007, 1:01
'Gloves,' Rogue said with a shrug 'I guess I got a bit obsessed after realising I had to wear them. You?'
Posted by Shade on Mar 7, 2007, 1:03
"Oh, well that was an easy one then, I guess" Shade said with a shrug. "Rainbow coloured socks" she said, a little embarassed "I had those a lot as a kid."
Posted by Rogue on Mar 7, 2007, 1:04
Rogue pulled up her trouser leg to reveal a pair of knee high multi-coloured socks
'I still have them.'
Posted by Shade on Mar 7, 2007, 1:05
"Those are so cool" Shade said with a huge smile. "I really should buy some again."
Posted by Rogue on Mar 7, 2007, 1:06
Rogue nodded
'You should.'
Posted by Shade on Mar 7, 2007, 1:07
She could imagine her mother rolling her eyes not too seriously about multi coloured socks and grinned inwardly. After all, Shade had never seriously grown up at heart.
Posted by Rogue on Mar 7, 2007, 1:08
'I had rainbow arm warmers at one point,' Rogue mused 'they were groovy.'
Posted by Shade on Mar 7, 2007, 1:09
"I bet" Shade said. "You know rainbow coloured stuff should really be appreciated more."
Posted by Rogue on Mar 7, 2007, 1:14
'I agree. Maybe we should make that the Brotherhood uniform - rainbow colours.'
Posted by Shade on Mar 7, 2007, 1:15
"I can clearly see the enthusiasm that idea would provoke" Shade said sarcastically.
Posted by Rogue on Mar 7, 2007, 1:18
'Well you never know. He's agreed to the light-up shoes.'
Posted by Shade on Mar 7, 2007, 1:19
She smiled weakly as thinking about Erik was a thing she had wished to run from for a while. "I can’t believe it." she said running a finger across the rim of her emtpy glass.
Posted by Rogue on Mar 7, 2007, 1:24
'Me neither - I nearly fainted in shock.'
Posted by Shade on Mar 7, 2007, 1:26
"I can imagine" she said with a slight chuckle. "he managed to throw all our evil plotting out of the window."
Posted by Rogue on Mar 7, 2007, 1:28
'I know. I was looking forward to that.'
Posted by Shade on Mar 7, 2007, 1:29
"Me too" Shade said with a nod, ordering a second coke.
Posted by Rogue on Mar 7, 2007, 1:30
'oh well - maybe we can do it anyway,' she said with a smile
Posted by Shade on Mar 7, 2007, 1:31
"You mean tie him to a tree?" Shade asked.
Posted by Rogue on Mar 7, 2007, 1:34
Rogue nodded 'It'll be fun.'
Posted by Shade on Mar 7, 2007, 1:36
"It would" she agreed a little half heartedly "Although I’d feel a little awkward with you guys being... oh well, like me being the odd one out or something."
Posted by Rogue on Mar 7, 2007, 1:39
'There's no need to feel like that sugah.' Rogue said, giving Shade's hand a reassuring squeeze
Posted by Shade on Mar 7, 2007, 1:40
"I know" she said with a little smile. She knew it wasn’t from her point of few. From hers however, it felt quite a bit like it.
Posted by Rogue on Mar 7, 2007, 1:44
'Good. I'd hardly leave you out, your one of my bestest friends.'
Posted by Shade on Mar 7, 2007, 12:39
Shade smiled. "Thanks. So are you" she said. It felt good to hear her say that. She had had good friends at home but by now realized that with even the contact to her parents being almost non existant, these friendships had been cut. Knowing to have found new friends brightened her mood a little.
Posted by Rogue on Mar 7, 2007, 12:40
'okay what's better - leather or wool?'
Posted by Shade on Mar 7, 2007, 12:42
"Hm... I’d say leather. Wool reminds me of those scratchy jumpers my grandma made for me when I was little."
Posted by Rogue on Mar 7, 2007, 12:43
Rogue laughed
'I know what you mean.'
Posted by Shade on Mar 7, 2007, 12:45
Shade grinned. "i guess all grandma’s are pretty much the same in that" she said. "Hm... favourite country you’ve never been to but you’d most want to travel to?"
Posted by Rogue on Mar 7, 2007, 12:48
'Milasia. You?'
Posted by Shade on Mar 7, 2007, 12:50
"Interesting. Never thought about that." Shade admitted. "New Zealand most definitly."
Posted by Rogue on Mar 7, 2007, 12:54
'Yeah that looks like a cool place.'
Posted by Shade on Mar 7, 2007, 12:57
"it does." she agreed. "I guess if I had enough money, the first thing to do would be to go there for some weeks and travel around."
Posted by Rogue on Mar 7, 2007, 13:02
'Sounds cool. I've always wanted to travel the globe. Just grab a bag and passport and go one day before sunrise.'
Posted by Shade on Mar 7, 2007, 13:04
"Yeah." she said. "me too. As long as I don’t need to go by plane getting around for free is rather easy. I guess I saved a lot of money on my way to the institute."
Posted by Rogue on Mar 7, 2007, 13:10
Rogue smiled.
'Texas to Canada and only payed $5 the whole trip.'
Posted by Shade on Mar 7, 2007, 13:11
"Wow." she said. "Well, with me it was that cheap because no bus driver ever knew I was on his bus, but what about you?"
Posted by Rogue on Mar 7, 2007, 13:14
'I guess that's a cool advantage to being invisible. I just charmed my way into trucks and stuck to water and bread. It wasn't exactly desireable but it worked.'
Posted by Shade on Mar 7, 2007, 13:21
"Well, if you don’t forget about taking care not to accidentally run into people. Crowded busses and trains are quite difficult." she said.
