A very early morning drink (transferred)

[Gambit]

Posted by Typhoid Mary on Mar 27, 2007, 16:40
Ty walked in, glad the place was dead. She'd promised to meet a couple friends here later in the day...but it was always good to get an idea of what a place was like, even a place where mutants were. Strike that...ESPECIALLY a place where mutants were.
Besides...she needed a drink. Badly. She took a seat at the bar and rubbed her temples with gloved fingers.

"Mornin'. Didn't really expect anyone to be dat early, but we're open anyways," Gambit said from the top of the stairs as he came down from the gallery. The girl almost looked as if she was about to fall asleep on the barstand, and that was usually the picture one could see after the club night, not before the club day.
Posted by Typhoid Mary on Mar 27, 2007, 17:12
She started, not honestly expecting anyone to be around. "I didn't really expect to be here this early, but it's better then being cooped up," she muttered, not looking up. "Supposed to meet someone here later."
Posted by Gambit on Mar 27, 2007, 17:14
"How much later?" Gambit inquired as he started his bar computer and opened the cash register.
Posted by Typhoid Mary on Mar 27, 2007, 17:16
"Depends on when he gets his goddamn ass here..." Typhoid muttered. Her foggy brain finally caught up with the rest of her- this person was new to her. "And you are...?"
Posted by Gambit on Mar 27, 2007, 17:23
"Call me Gambit," he said. "Since you are at a mutant bar, you, obviously, ain't new to codenames, I presume," he winked. "Now what can I getcha to help you against driftin' away?"
Posted by Typhoid Mary on Mar 27, 2007, 17:29
She raised an eyebrow. "Gambit then. They call me Typhoid." She shrugged. "I don't have much of a preference. Got any suggestions?"
Posted by Gambit on Mar 27, 2007, 17:33
"Typhoid? I'll call you Ty, if you don't mind," Gambit replied. "As for a drink..." he caught her tired glance. "Coffee?"
Posted by Typhoid Mary on Mar 27, 2007, 17:36
She laughed a bit. "Probably better for me then what I had in mind."
Posted by Gambit on Mar 27, 2007, 17:44
"Yep," Gambit nodded, putting the cup into the coffee machine. "You can always get drunk when your mind is clear, an' dere's no point in drinking when you are already dizzy. So it's coffee, den some snacks, and den you can drink all you want for all I care," he laughed.

::he walked into the club, putting his sunglasses in his breast pockets, he looked around, the room almostcompletely empty, he walked over to Ty and Gambit, sitting beside her:: Hey lady...hey, boss man.
Posted by Typhoid Mary on Mar 27, 2007, 21:36
"Hey Tim," Ty said tiredly. "Glad you're here. Couldn't think of anyone else to get ahold of besides you or Phoebe."
Posted by Knightmare on Mar 27, 2007, 21:38
::he smiled half-way, resting his head in his hand:: Yeah, well, me and the morning don't exactly get along, but, you know...when a friend comes a callin...
Posted by Phoebe on Mar 27, 2007, 21:39
Phoebe walked in behind Tim and sat on Ty's other side. "Hey, chica," she greeted. "You okay?"
Posted by Typhoid Mary on Mar 27, 2007, 21:40
"Yeah, join the club." Ty managed a half smile. "I didn't want to try to make it back on my own." She turned around when Phoebe came in. "Hey...not really. That's kinda why I'm here as opposed to back at the mansion."
Posted by Knightmare on Mar 27, 2007, 21:42
::he raised an eyebrow:: What's shakin?
Posted by Typhoid Mary on Mar 27, 2007, 21:43
She got out of the chair and took off her coat. Beneath was a short skirt with fishnets, high heels, and a halter top. Most of it was torn, all of it was covered in ash. She didn't have an aura. "It's happening again."
Posted by Knightmare on Mar 27, 2007, 21:45
::his eyebrow raised and he looked away:: Wow...never seen you like that before...
Posted by Typhoid Mary on Mar 27, 2007, 21:46
"Oh, for God's sake, Tim..." she grabbed her coat and put it back on, frustrated. "I've been taking trips at night only it hasn't been me."
Posted by Knightmare on Mar 27, 2007, 21:47
Mary, I take it? ::he turned to her, raising a brow::
Posted by Typhoid Mary on Mar 27, 2007, 21:49
"Yeah, and it's not supposed to be that way." She slammed a fist down on the tabletop. "This WASN'T supposed to be a f*cking problem..." Taking a breath, she tried again. "I woke up walking in the park. Hanging to someones hand. The hand wasn't attached to a body. Which is why I didn't go back to the mansion."
Posted by Knightmare on Mar 27, 2007, 21:50
::he looked at her wide eyed:: A hand? Hmm...seems Mary's gonna be something of a serial killer, me thinks...
Posted by Typhoid Mary on Mar 27, 2007, 21:52
Ty couldn't help it, she cracked half a smile. "Ya think?" she sat back down, took a gulp of coffee. "Look...I had to say something to someone, but no one, and I repeat NO ONE else is going to know. You guys...are different."
Posted by Gambit on Mar 27, 2007, 21:53
Gambit cocked one brow at what he had heard.
"Pardon Gambit for overhearin', but... is dere a problem I should be aware of now dat you're sitting in dis club?"
(( OOC: God, guys, have mercy!! I leave to have dinner for five minutes and you're doing the second page already! A speechless Gambit is a natural disaster... ))
Posted by Knightmare on Mar 27, 2007, 21:54
::he nodded, looking down:: Ty, we gotta get this psycho under control...if human authorities get ahold of her, this could get really ugly...
Posted by Typhoid Mary on Mar 27, 2007, 21:55
Ty raised an eyebrow at Gambit and her eyes flashed for a minute. "No...we're fine."
She heard Tim's comment. "I know, but what the hell else am I supposed to do?"
((OOC Heh, poor Gambit...Sorry, m'dear))
Posted by Knightmare on Mar 27, 2007, 21:56
::he looked to Gambit with a grin:: Umm...no...could I get a cup of joe, please? ::he turned back to Ty:: Should we get the Professor?
Posted by Gambit on Mar 27, 2007, 21:58
"If you need a room or transportation, or anythin' else I can help wit', jus' lemme know," Gambit said.
This was the other side to his running this club - his way of meeting other mutants like him and helping them if they needed it.
Posted by Typhoid Mary on Mar 27, 2007, 22:01
She nodded at Gambit. "Thanks." Turning to Tim and Phoebe, she shook her head. "Last time...last time I could hold her off long enough for something to be done. This time...I don't know. I'd take down the mansion with me." She wrapped her hand around her coffee. "I think I need to go it alone."
Posted by Knightmare on Mar 27, 2007, 22:02
Go it alone my ass. ::he looked to her, putting his hand on her covered shoulder:: I'll do anything I can...and so will Phoebe. We're your friends.
Posted by Phoebe on Mar 27, 2007, 22:02
Phoebe nodded her head. "We're here for ya, Ty," she assured her. "We won't let you take the fall alone."
Posted by Knightmare on Mar 27, 2007, 22:03
::he looked to Phoebe and smiled, nodding:: Right.
Posted by Typhoid Mary on Mar 27, 2007, 22:06
Ty gave a small smile. "Thanks." It was almost a relief, having it out to at least them. This had been happening for the past few nights. She'd said nothing, hoping it would stop, but it had just gotten worse. The cacaphony in her head was almost making her deaf, and Mary....the things she said terrified Ty. "I still can't say anything to anyone else- they already think I'm crazy. In the meantime...I guess I go back." She had nowhere else to go.
Posted by Gambit on Mar 27, 2007, 22:08
Gambit made some coffee for Tim - and then, taking a look at the three of them, prepared another one for Phoebe. He placed the cups in front of them. He always believed coffee could help in any conversation.
Posted by Knightmare on Mar 27, 2007, 22:09
Go where? The mansion? ::he took his cup, nodding to Gambit:: Thank you, good sir. ::he added his sugar and creamer, stirring it::

[Gambit]

Posted by Typhoid Mary on Mar 27, 2007, 22:11
She shook her head. "Back where I was before. The tunnels."
Posted by Phoebe on Mar 27, 2007, 22:12
Phoebe nodded a thank you to Gambit and took a sip of her coffee. To Ty, she said, "Don't have to go back just yet. We can go out and perform a public service by ashing some discarded metal or something."
Posted by Gambit on Mar 27, 2007, 22:14
The mention of the Tunnels made Gambit flinch inwardly - like it always did, but he kept his emotions to himself, not letting his body betray a single sign.
Posted by Phoebe on Mar 27, 2007, 22:15
Phoebe glanced at Gambit, but didn't say anything. The mention of the tunnels seemed to make the air tense, and she could feel it.
Posted by Knightmare on Mar 27, 2007, 22:17
I'll be god d*mmed if I let you go back to them tunnels. ::he narrowed his eyes at Ty:: You can't learn how to deal with this there, Ty.
Posted by Typhoid Mary on Mar 27, 2007, 22:20
"Better I destroy the tunnels then the mansion." Ty shot back. "You want me to go back and lose control THERE?"
Posted by Knightmare on Mar 27, 2007, 22:21
You already did once and look what happened. Sure, I may have gotten all messed up but we did stop you and were actually able to help.
Posted by Gambit on Mar 27, 2007, 22:22
To shake off the unpleasant feeling that he was eavesdropping, Gambit busied himself with the cash register and other petty bar things. He knew his visitors would call him if they needed his help, and he did not want to steal any more of their attention. Posted by Phoebe on Mar 27, 2007, 22:22
"Actually, Ty," Phoebe interjected. "It might be better to lose it there. At least then someone can help you." She shook her head and smiled. "And we can always rebuild the mansion if we have to."
Posted by Knightmare on Mar 27, 2007, 22:23
::he pointed to Phoebe:: She has a point. ::he took a sip from the mug in his hand, smirking and nodding to Gambit::
Posted by Typhoid Mary on Mar 27, 2007, 22:27
"It's not the mansion that scares me...I don't want to hurt anyone." Ty stared into her coffee cup.
Posted by Gambit on Mar 27, 2007, 22:28
Gambit nodded back at the guy and took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket. Lighting one, he pulled at it and started checking his e-mails. Some of the lamer clients who needed things stolen or returned have taken up the habit of contacting him through as unsafe channel as the Internet.
Posted by Knightmare on Mar 27, 2007, 22:31
::he heard the lighter, glancing to Gambit and his cig, he sighed silently and turned back to Ty:: We have people that can deal with you hurting someone, Ty. I don't need you ending up dead cause this got away from you...
Posted by Typhoid Mary on Mar 27, 2007, 22:34
She sighed. "Dammit...I'm still covered in the ash of people I killed, Tim. It's ALREADY away from me." Picking up her coffee cup, she swallowed the last of her coffee. F*ck. "Getting used to anyone giving a sh*t really blows, you know that?"
Posted by Phoebe on Mar 27, 2007, 22:34
"Ty," she said. "You won't hurt anyone. We won't let you hurt anyone." Her brows knitted in concern. "You know we won't."
((Sorry, Tim. My lappy's net cut out on me.))
Posted by Knightmare on Mar 27, 2007, 22:35
It's gonna help you in the end. You wanna end up like that c*ck-smoker, Magneto?
Posted by Typhoid Mary on Mar 27, 2007, 22:37
"I know," she muttered. "And if you compare me to Magneto one more time Gambit's going to find himself absent a bar, Tim..." she mock threatened.
Posted by Knightmare on Mar 27, 2007, 22:37
::he narrowed his eyes and smirked:: I was making a point, dammit.
Posted by Phoebe on Mar 27, 2007, 22:38
Phoebe smiled at that. "And if that does happen, Tim can always rebuild it free of charge."
Posted by Knightmare on Mar 27, 2007, 22:39
::he nodded:: Very true.
Posted by Typhoid Mary on Mar 27, 2007, 22:40
She put her head down, trying very hard not to laugh despite it all. "Ok, ok...I cry uncle, already..."
Posted by Knightmare on Mar 27, 2007, 22:42
::he put his hand on her back:: Look, the last thing I could ever expect you to do is give up...fight. That's what you've always done, right? Just fight against it.
Posted by Typhoid Mary on Mar 27, 2007, 22:44
She sat up. "Yeah...we'll see...I guess," She wasn't convinced, but...in some way, things were different. "So now what?"
Posted by Knightmare on Mar 27, 2007, 22:45
I say I pay the man here for this great cup of coffee he made, we get a ride back to the Mansion, and you go to your room, shower, and try to get some sleep.
Posted by Phoebe on Mar 27, 2007, 22:45
Phoebe nodded. "I agree." But, on Tim's comment, she replied, "But don't keep trying the same thing and expect different results. It doesn't work like that."
Posted by Typhoid Mary on Mar 27, 2007, 22:46
Ty smiled at Tim. "Very good start." She poked Phoebe. "You sound like the Prof."
Posted by Phoebe on Mar 27, 2007, 22:47
She grinned. "What can I say?" she replied. "I pay attention when the man says something."
Posted by Knightmare on Mar 27, 2007, 22:49
::he smiled and stood, finishing off his cup of coffee he pulled out his wallet. He looked to Gambit:: And what do we owe you?
Posted by Gambit on Mar 27, 2007, 22:51
"Three coffees - three bucks," Remy replied with a shrug, walking back over to them.
Posted by Typhoid Mary on Mar 27, 2007, 22:52
"Thanks, Gambit," Ty said, feeling at least somewhat awake. "You must brew that stuff triple octane."
Posted by Knightmare on Mar 27, 2007, 22:53
::he put a ten on the counter:: Keep the change. ::he turned to them and smiled:: Shall we?
Posted by Gambit on Mar 27, 2007, 22:54
"Just a hint of chili," Remy winked. "Hope it helped. Thanks Tim," he gave a nod to the young man.
Posted by Knightmare on Mar 27, 2007, 22:56
::he smiled and nodded to him:: Indeed it did... ::he pulled out a card from his wallet and flipped it onto the counter, it was for his father, CEO and founder of Twilight Entertainment, Michael Darchon:: If you ever need anything, my father is one of the biggest mutant supporters ever. Give him a call.
Posted by Typhoid Mary on Mar 27, 2007, 22:56
'It did, thanks," Ty smiled back. "Let's go, all."
Posted by Gambit on Mar 27, 2007, 23:00
Gambit made an impressed face. He'd definitely get in touch with Tim's father - heads of large companies seemed to have tendency to need his services more than most other kinds of people.
"Get her home safe," he said.
Posted by Phoebe on Mar 27, 2007, 23:01
Phoebe nodded. "We will," she assured the Cajun.
Posted by Typhoid Mary on Mar 27, 2007, 23:04
Ty narrowed her eyes. "Shouldn't that be the other way round, all?" she said, cracking a grin as she headed towards the door.
Posted by Phoebe on Mar 27, 2007, 23:06
Phoebe chuckled, shaking her head. "Come on," she said, grinning at Ty.
