Early afternoon… (transferred)

[Gambit]

Posted by Rogue on Apr 11, 2007, 21:50
Rogue wasn't supposed to be working for hours yet but she had to pick up Beth and had gone into the city way too early. She walked in and swung onto a bar stool, drumming her fingers lightly on the counter.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 11, 2007, 21:55
Remy was walking along the gallery upstairs, taking a look at the club from above. He saw Rogue walk in, but made no sign of his presence; he wondered what she would do.
(( You know, one day Gambit might simply not show up... and leave you sitting there all alone, tapping your fingers ))
Posted by Rogue on Apr 11, 2007, 22:01
((she has people in her head. she's never alone ))
Rogue sighed, brushing the hair out of her eyes as she took out her cell phone. No new messages.
'What a suprise,' She murmered sarcastically. He wasn't just avoiding her though - no one had gotten through. She knew he tended to get fads like this but she was still worried. She began drumming her fingers again by way of nervous habit, John and Erik yelling again in her head.
I hate you
'Oh I hate you both,' she said loudly, fed up with listening to past arguements.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 11, 2007, 22:12
People acknowledging their feelings to whatever they saw or didn't see on their cell phones was not an uncommon sight. Remy only wondered who was it that made Rogue nearly scream with anger.
He decided that it was unfair to keep her sitting down there in the company of her phone. A deck of card appeared in his hands, fished out of pocket. He flipped through the cards, choosing one, then held it between his index and middle finger and with one precise motion sent it flying across the room.
A jack of clubs landed on the counter in front of Rogue.
Posted by Rogue on Apr 11, 2007, 22:16
Rogue blinked. A playing card had fallen from the sky.
No Marie, that would be stupid
'Gambit.' she said out loud, turning in her seat to look up to the gallery balcony. She found him almost immediately.
'Hello love.'
Posted by Gambit on Apr 11, 2007, 22:20
"Gee you're fast," he smirked, walking towards the stairs. "What's up?"
Posted by Rogue on Apr 11, 2007, 22:21
'The usual. Absent lover, kid to pick up.' Rogue shrugged, 'you okay?'
Posted by Gambit on Apr 11, 2007, 22:27
"I'm fine. Dieu, Rogue, you're a mother now?" he jumped over the last few stairs and walked over to the bar.
Posted by Rogue on Apr 11, 2007, 22:29
Rogue snorted.
'She's not mine, rest assured. I sort of look after her. Her mom f*cked off to Spain.'
Posted by Gambit on Apr 11, 2007, 22:36
"Dieu, quelles paroles, mademoiselle..." Remy smiled. "Okay, mother Theresa, then."
Posted by Rogue on Apr 11, 2007, 22:39
Rogue laughed slightly. 'I always thought I was cut out to be a saint.'
Posted by Gambit on Apr 11, 2007, 23:09
"Sounds very true to me," Remy grinned.
Posted by Rogue on Apr 11, 2007, 23:10
Rogue giggled slightly, 'I'd have to change my name, Saint Rogue's a bit of a contradiction.'
Posted by Gambit on Apr 11, 2007, 23:19
"Start a trend," Remy suggested. "You're not an average saint, by all means."
Posted by Rogue on Apr 11, 2007, 23:21
'I'm not average, period.' Rogue said with a soft chuckle, 'but I like being different.'
Posted by Gambit on Apr 12, 2007, 0:37
"I've noticed dat," Remy said.
Posted by Rogue on Apr 12, 2007, 0:38
'God is it that obvious?' Rogue asked, faking extreme concern
Posted by Gambit on Apr 12, 2007, 0:42
"Written across your forehead in neon lights, cheri," Remy said in a sympathetic tone.
Posted by Rogue on Apr 12, 2007, 0:43
'oh my,' she placed a hand to her forehead dramatically before giggiling. 'oh well at least I'm a pretty, different person.'
Posted by Gambit on Apr 12, 2007, 9:31
"So," Remy said, "can I get you anythin', different person?"
Posted by Rogue on Apr 12, 2007, 14:10
'Anything non alchoholic. This career woman hates me enough without me turning up drunk.'
Posted by Gambit on Apr 12, 2007, 14:16
"A glass of juice?" Remy suggested.
Posted by Rogue on Apr 12, 2007, 14:18
Rogue nodded, 'yeah whatever.' she unconciously found herself checking her phone again even though she hadn't heard it go off.

[Gambit]

Posted by Gambit on Apr 12, 2007, 14:20
"That de guy you were hatin' dere out loud a minute ago?" Remy inquired, pouring her a glass of apple juice.
Posted by Rogue on Apr 12, 2007, 14:23
Rogue nodded, 'yeah him and John. It's a long story but basically they're giving me a migrane.'
Posted by Gambit on Apr 12, 2007, 14:26
"Oh, John can give a migraine to jus' about anybody," Remy laughed. "You know, chere, it's all in your head... if you take people too close to your heart, dey get to your mind eventually. You should know dat better dan anybody else, I s'pose."
Posted by Rogue on Apr 12, 2007, 14:28
Rogue nodded slightly, 'Yeah - doesn't stop me making the same mistakes though.'
Posted by Gambit on Apr 12, 2007, 14:33
"You should be careful about dat," Remy shook his head in disapproval; he didn't like what she was saying and how it sounded. For some reason, the mood for sharing fatherly wisdom woke up in him, like it always did when he had apprentices. "Species dat don't learn get thrown out of gene pool. If you keep dis 'not learnin' stuff up, you'll be dead right quick. You're a new species here in dis world, an' you know it - we all mutants gotta try hard to survive."
Posted by Rogue on Apr 12, 2007, 14:49
Rogue smiled and shook her head slightly. 'I promise I'll try then.'
Posted by Gambit on Apr 12, 2007, 15:46
"Good," Remy said. "Here's your juice then."
Posted by Rogue on Apr 12, 2007, 15:54
'Thanks,' Rogue took the drink and had a sip before pulling her hair up into a loose pony tail and taking it down again. It was a stupid habit she had never been able to stop.
'Do you think I have a good enough reason to burn all of erik's clothes and sell his car?' she asked randomly.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 12, 2007, 15:58
"From my experience," Remy said, "girls hardly ever need," he raised his fingers to imitate quotation marks, "reasons to do dat."
He sighed; he was indeed speaking from experience.
(( OOC: I very much like that gesture habit you've just described. ))
Posted by Rogue on Apr 12, 2007, 16:00
Rogue giggled, 'bad break-up I'm sensing here?'
((ooc: thanks - I do it alot and I guess it got transfered to Rogue as well))
Posted by Gambit on Apr 12, 2007, 16:06
"More like a hundred bad break-ups, chere," Remy donned a miserable face.
Posted by Rogue on Apr 12, 2007, 16:08
'Awww,' Rogue sympathsised, putting a hand on Gambit's cheek over the bar, 'the right girl's just around the corner.'
Posted by Gambit on Apr 12, 2007, 16:10
"Actually, de world is full of them," Remy winked. "Like, I'm lookin' at her right now."
Posted by Rogue on Apr 12, 2007, 16:12
Rogue raised an eyebrow, 'I'm flatered but sadly I'm taken and am sleeping in another guy's bed - I'm pretty much fully booked out.'
Posted by Gambit on Apr 12, 2007, 16:15
Remy leaned against the counter and said in a confidential tone, "Tell you what, chere - only dead girls are fully booked out. An' you don't seem dead to me."
Posted by Rogue on Apr 12, 2007, 16:18
'You never know - I could be a zombie,' Rogue said with a small smile.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 12, 2007, 16:24
"Oh well - a little fun with de undead never stopped a voodoo-lovin' Cajun," Remy winked and straightened up. He turned on the computer, checking out stuff before the busy day began. "Taken, not taken - I'm a thief, not a buyer," he mumbled, struggling not to smile wide. She looked tense and wary at all those near the knuckle remarks; he was wondering if her patience would soon run out with a glass of juice thrown in his face.
Posted by Rogue on Apr 12, 2007, 16:27
Rogue rolled her eyes and took another sip of her drink.
'You know if Erik was here I think you'd of hit the floor a long time ago.'
Posted by Gambit on Apr 12, 2007, 16:30
"Oh please," Remy smiled finally, "please don' tell Gambit you think he don't have a sense of audience."
Posted by Rogue on Apr 12, 2007, 16:34
'Well you never know - you might want to take the rsik,' she said, her finger drawing swirls on the bar.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 12, 2007, 16:40
"Not a dozen Eriks would stop me if I knew de girl be worth it," Remy noted.
Posted by Rogue on Apr 12, 2007, 16:43
'Good thing I'm not worth it,' Rogue said with a smile, 'or Erik would be having one heck of a bad day. You might want to hold onto that phrase though - girl's go ga-ga over something like that.'
Posted by Gambit on Apr 12, 2007, 16:47
"I know my weapons when I use 'em, Rogue," Remy winked. "An' you could be worth it, for all you know."
Posted by Rogue on Apr 12, 2007, 16:49
'Trust me - I'm not,' Rogue assured, gulping down the rest of her drink.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 12, 2007, 19:35
That's it, Remy thought. He had several clever comebacks to give to her last words, but decided against it. He was catching signs of annoyance, and it meant she'd had enough of this flirt leading nowhere. Maybe it was time to change the subject.
"Dis career lady of yours," he said, "what's she got in mind for you?"
Posted by Rogue on Apr 12, 2007, 19:37
Rogue shrugged, 'she doesn't know that I'm not related to the little girl. She just looks after her when I can't and then I come pick her up.'
Posted by Gambit on Apr 12, 2007, 20:20
"Oh, that..." Remy nodded. "I kinda thought she was supposed to find your a job or somethin'... to promote your career an' all dat."

[Gambit]

Posted by Rogue on Apr 12, 2007, 20:21
Rogue giggled.
'No I'm happy working here - I don't need a new job.'
Posted by Gambit on Apr 12, 2007, 20:26
"If you were truly happy, you'd be workin' fulltime," Remy noted, then noticed a look on her face, "Yeah, I know, I know, school an' all..."
Posted by Rogue on Apr 12, 2007, 20:29
'Exactly. School and all that.' She smirked slightly, 'but this place does have one small advantage over school.'
Posted by Gambit on Apr 12, 2007, 20:30
"Lemme guess," Remy said, "you get paid an' you get to drink?"
Posted by Rogue on Apr 12, 2007, 20:32
Rogue shook her head.
'I have a better boss.'
Posted by Gambit on Apr 12, 2007, 20:38
Remy grinned. It was very flattering, he had to admit it. "Oh, quelle jolie, I even get compliments!" he laughed. "I gotta call Charles an' tell him he'll raise his karma by allowin' students to drink alcohol at school an' dance to disco all night long." Posted by Rogue on Apr 12, 2007, 20:38
Rogue giggled, 'That'd go down well I'm sure.'
Posted by Gambit on Apr 12, 2007, 20:55
"Geez," Remy smiled, "I thought you at least had TV there."
Posted by Rogue on Apr 12, 2007, 20:56
'Yeah but only the boring channels,' Rogue said, 'I mean no free porn or anything,' she frowned slightly at that, 'are you sure you only gave me juice?'
Posted by Gambit on Apr 12, 2007, 21:00
"No," Remy smiled, "juice an' a healthy dose of my charms. But don' mind me, keep talkin'."
Posted by Rogue on Apr 12, 2007, 21:01
'I don't know what to follow the school's lack of porn with,' she replied
Posted by Gambit on Apr 12, 2007, 21:04
"Par exemple, you can share with me some thoughts about your affections for Magneto," Remy suggested. "Gambit don' mean dat as a follow-up to porn, just an idea."
Posted by Rogue on Apr 12, 2007, 21:05
Rogue opened her mouth and shut it again, looking down at her lap and going slightly pink. She mumbled something incoherant, trying to hide behind her long bangs.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 12, 2007, 21:07
Dieu, Remy thought, I've gone and rendered the poor girl speechless. He watched her with a smile. "Should I apologize?"
Posted by Rogue on Apr 12, 2007, 21:08
Rogue shook her head and looked up.
'No it's fine. I just, well, I don't usually talk about him that much. Well aside from poking fun at him.'
Posted by Gambit on Apr 12, 2007, 22:01
"Well, maybe you should," Remy suggested. "Mebbe dat help from shoutin' 'I hate you' in an empty club."
Posted by Rogue on Apr 12, 2007, 22:03
Rogue giggled slightly, 'Maybe I should but there's nothing interesting to tell.'
Posted by Gambit on Apr 12, 2007, 22:05
"How do you assess that?" Remy wondered.
Posted by Rogue on Apr 12, 2007, 22:06
'It's all been told before,' She said with a small shrug.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 12, 2007, 22:11
"De past, maybe," Remy nodded, "how 'bout de future? What do ya see when you look at you an' him - two months from now? Ten years?"
Posted by Rogue on Apr 12, 2007, 22:14
'Two months - pretty much the same. Ten years?' Rogue shrugged, 'ten years we'll be long finished.'
Posted by Gambit on Apr 12, 2007, 22:31
"Somewhere in between those two dates," Remy said, agreeing. "Do you care when exactly?"
Posted by Rogue on Apr 12, 2007, 22:32
'I guess I'm kind of hoping for nearer the ten year marker.'
Posted by Gambit on Apr 12, 2007, 22:43
"Well, you're quite an optimist, I tell you that," Remy said. "Most marriages never make it dat far. Mine didn't, either."
Posted by Rogue on Apr 12, 2007, 22:47
'You've been married?' Rogue asked, crossing one leg over the other, deeply interested.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 12, 2007, 22:49
"Uh-huh," Remy said. "For an entire half-an-hour. But dis story is too sad, an' I don't want you to listen to sad stuff."
Posted by Rogue on Apr 12, 2007, 22:51
'No I want to hear,' Rogue insisted with a pout, 'I'm a good comforter if it makes you really sad,' she said with a smile
Posted by Gambit on Apr 12, 2007, 22:54
"It don't make me sad anymore," Remy shrugged, "but I don't want it to sadden you--," he touched the tip of her nose with his finger, "when you find out I'm not such Mister Nice Guy you prob'ly think."
Posted by Rogue on Apr 12, 2007, 22:56
Rogue raised an eyebrow.
'I'm shagging one of the FBI's most wanted criminals - bad doesn't bother me. Mr Nice Guy gets annoying easily.'
Posted by Gambit on Apr 12, 2007, 22:58
"Niceness is awfully annoyin', c'est vrai," Remy agreed.
Posted by Rogue on Apr 12, 2007, 23:00
'so - tell me about this marriage of yours,' Rogue said, leaning across the bar.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 12, 2007, 23:11
"What - about de half-an-hour?" Remy made quotation marks with his fingers.
Posted by Rogue on Apr 12, 2007, 23:11
Rogue nodded, 'yes - about the half an hour.'
Posted by Gambit on Apr 12, 2007, 23:23
"Talk about annoyin," Remy smirked. Then with a sigh -ah, there's no escape from those questions - he leaned on the counter. "Well, not much to tell - dere was a weddin', den my new brother-in-law challenged me to a duel, so we had a duel an' I killed him, an' dat was basically de end of my long an' happy marriage."

Posted by Rogue on Apr 12, 2007, 23:28
'Oh I see,' Rogue said, 'in-laws suck.'
Posted by Gambit on Apr 12, 2007, 23:32
"Hardly any other in-laws suck like mine, but generally, yes, dey do, sad as it is."
Posted by Rogue on Apr 12, 2007, 23:33
'Sorry your marriage didn't work out,' Rogue said softly.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 12, 2007, 23:36
"Yeah, well - least I've learned somethin' from it. Mistakes are a gift, in a way - without 'em, we wouldn't learn."
Posted by Rogue on Apr 12, 2007, 23:38
'Very true,' Rogue said with a sharp nod. 'But would you ever do it again?'
Posted by Gambit on Apr 12, 2007, 23:49
"Of course," Remy said, "I'd never miss a chance to learn from my mistakes."
Or to make somebody happy, he thought. But this would be too intimate, too open a confession, and he chose to conceal it.

[Gambit]

Posted by Rogue on Apr 12, 2007, 23:50
Rogue nodded slowly.
'When I was little I had my wedding planned down to the confetti.'
Posted by Gambit on Apr 13, 2007, 0:01
"An' what remains now?" Remy felt an odd surge of curiousity.
Posted by Rogue on Apr 13, 2007, 0:03
'The decor for my spinster's house,' she said with a small smile.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 13, 2007, 0:06
"Contradict yourself you do, young 'un," Remy tried his best imitation of Master Yoda, "a minute ago you were plannin' to spend de next ten years bein' Magneto's wife. Where de spinster come in?"
Posted by Rogue on Apr 13, 2007, 0:07
Rogue laughed.
'Me and Erik won't last long once my powers come back, and I'm not mean enough to marry someone when they'll never be able to touch their wife.'
Posted by Gambit on Apr 13, 2007, 0:12
"Heh, you can always become a part of some arab's harem - be de cookin' wife," Remy teased. "But seriously - aren't you stayin' at de Institute to learn control or som'thin'?"
Posted by Rogue on Apr 13, 2007, 0:14
Rogue raised an eyebrow at the harem statement before shaking her head. 'I'm there because I have no where else - my mutation's uncontrollable.'
Posted by Gambit on Apr 13, 2007, 0:19
"Blah-blah-blah," Remy said. "Bet you tried only two or three times before givin' up."
Posted by Rogue on Apr 13, 2007, 0:20
Rogue frowned, 'I nearly killed two people - you stop trying after that.'
Posted by Gambit on Apr 13, 2007, 0:24
"I did kill when my powers just kicked in an' I didn't know the next thing 'bout control," Remy said. "Didn't stop me. You need a good mentor, a teacher who can tell you how to keep your powers in check - I know not so many people who were able to learn control by themselves."
Posted by Rogue on Apr 13, 2007, 0:25
'You can't just stop skin being deadly,' Rogue said firmly, 'even the Prof hasn't found a way round it - that's why I have to shoot up with that bloody cure just so I can shake someone's hand.'
Posted by Gambit on Apr 13, 2007, 0:29
"Ninety-nine per cent of mutations are just in your head, chere," Remy explained. He found it quite astonishing that Xavier didn't teach her that. "De control - it's in your head. Name any mutation you know dat would still work with a person dead - only physical stuff, like three eyes, fur on your body, a tail... An' Xavier, since he's a telepath, would know how to teach you pull mind muscles in your head."
Posted by Rogue on Apr 13, 2007, 0:34
Rogue raised an eyebrow. 'How come the Professsor never told me any of this?'
Posted by Gambit on Apr 13, 2007, 12:32
"Don' know," Remy shrugged, "I guess he's got too much on his mind an' prob'ly skips things sometimes."
Posted by Rogue on Apr 13, 2007, 12:34
'Maybe,' Rogue murmered, 'but I'm not going to ask him incase I get mental probing as a result.'
Posted by Gambit on Apr 13, 2007, 12:39
"What, your mind is ticklish?" Remy teased.
Posted by Rogue on Apr 13, 2007, 12:41
Rogue stuck her tongue out at him.
'I just don't fancy the idea of the Prof poking around in my head'
Posted by Gambit on Apr 13, 2007, 12:43
"You'd rather prefer lack of control for de rest of your life?" Remy was surprised at how stubborn she sounded. "You've got one interestin' set of priorities dere, chere."
Posted by Rogue on Apr 13, 2007, 12:45
'I can deal with not touching people,' Rogue said with a small shrug, 'and if I really need a break - there's always the needle.'
Posted by Gambit on Apr 13, 2007, 12:52
"Alright," Remy replied with a shrug. "You seem to have sorted it all out without Gambit's help. "Come when you can drink alcohol, an' we'll toast to all your plans to come to life."
Posted by Rogue on Apr 13, 2007, 12:57
Rogue giggled, 'I look forward to it.'
Posted by Gambit on Apr 13, 2007, 13:43
Remy nodded. "Me, too."
Posted by Rogue on Apr 13, 2007, 13:45
'Though you have to promise not to get me too drunk - the prof'll have a fit if he finds me with another hang over.'
Posted by Gambit on Apr 13, 2007, 13:52
Remy threw his hands up. "Heck, gotta getcha drunk! I'd pay to see Charles have a fit."
Posted by Rogue on Apr 13, 2007, 13:54
Rogue rolled her eyes, 'how do you know him anyway?'
Posted by Gambit on Apr 13, 2007, 14:17
"Met him a few times," Remy said, "why?"
Posted by Rogue on Apr 13, 2007, 14:19
'Just curious,' Rogue replied with a small shrug
Posted by Gambit on Apr 13, 2007, 14:23
"Curiousity killed a cat, you know," Remy winked.
Posted by Rogue on Apr 13, 2007, 14:26
'So I've been told, but Erik just calls me, oh what was it?' She thought for a moment before snapping her fingers, 'recklessly awkward.'

[Gambit]

Posted by Gambit on Apr 13, 2007, 14:30
"Not de oder way 'round?" Remy smiled. It was an interesting expression.
(( OOC: partially off to take care of my fishtanks; I'll be on and off at random intervals within the next hour or so. ))
Posted by Rogue on Apr 13, 2007, 14:32
'That's what he said,' Rogue said, with a small shrug
((ooc: okay. I'll be off in like 20 minutes))
Posted by Gambit on Apr 13, 2007, 15:29
"Who came up wit' Rogue alias, by de way?" Remy asked.
Posted by Rogue on Apr 13, 2007, 21:42
'Me,' Rogue replied, 'well my dad helped a bit by accident but it was mainly me.'
Posted by Gambit on Apr 13, 2007, 21:46
"Was it before or after your mutation triggered?" Remy asked.
Posted by Rogue on Apr 13, 2007, 21:47
'After. You didn't need nicknames like that back home.'
Posted by Gambit on Apr 13, 2007, 23:07
"How does it fit with your powers?" Remy asked.
Posted by Rogue on Apr 13, 2007, 23:14
'Everyone back home thought I was bad,' Rogue said with a shrug, 'so I went with that. How does Gambit fit with yours?'
Posted by Gambit on Apr 13, 2007, 23:16
"In many ways," Remy said. "More with my personality dan my powers, I guess. I like to play games an' make up strategies. An' my weapon of choice be playin' cards, so..." he shrugged.
Posted by Rogue on Apr 13, 2007, 23:19
'I think it suits you,' Rogue said with a smile
Posted by Gambit on Apr 13, 2007, 23:27
"Ya don' really know me dat well, chere," Remy said. "But well - if it be dat obvious 'bout me, den I got no problem with dat."
Posted by Rogue on Apr 13, 2007, 23:30
Rogue giggled, 'Good.'
Posted by Gambit on Apr 13, 2007, 23:50
Remy noticed that she had almost finished her drink.
"Would you like som'thin' else to drink, chere?" he asked.
Posted by Rogue on Apr 13, 2007, 23:56
Rogue finished off her drink.
'Umm a coke please love.'
Posted by Gambit on Apr 14, 2007, 0:03
Gambit poured a glass of coke for her and put it on the counter.
"Are you comin' to work tonight?" he asked.
Posted by Rogue on Apr 14, 2007, 0:09
Rogue nodded and sipped the coke.
'Yeah if you want me.'
Posted by Gambit on Apr 14, 2007, 0:11
"'If you want me'..." Remy smirked, moking her. "I like de 'if' thingie."
Posted by Rogue on Apr 14, 2007, 0:15
Rogue stuck her tongue out at him.
'Well you never know - you might not want me.'
Posted by Gambit on Apr 14, 2007, 12:27
Remy had a thought to describe in what ways he might have wanted her, but suddenly realized his playfulness had abandoned him. Maybe it was his irritation of the fact that Rogue managed to draw so much personal information from him - she was good at it, a real barmaid with an ability to get the right side of people, and he should rather be proud that she's passed this kind of test, not be annoyed at her cleverness.
"I do need bar people," he said. "An' you're good at it. An' I appreciate good employees when I find 'em. So yeah - whenever you come, you can be sure you're needed here."
Posted by Rogue on Apr 14, 2007, 20:20
Rogue nodded with a small smile.
'Nice to be needed somewhere I guess,'
Posted by Gambit on Apr 14, 2007, 22:35
"Oh, don't tell me you don' feel needed at de Institute, chere," Remy said.
Posted by Rogue on Apr 14, 2007, 22:38
'Most of them don't trust me - the other half have confusing relationships with me that they'd be better off without,' Rogue said with a small shrug.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 14, 2007, 22:43
"An' my attitude is positive wit' no strings attached," Remy concluded, nodding.
Posted by Rogue on Apr 14, 2007, 22:44
Rogue smiled.
'So why d'you buy this place?' Rogue asked, gesturing a hand out across the club
Posted by Gambit on Apr 14, 2007, 22:55
"Thought it could be fun," Remy replied. "Some change of things. It was bein' sold, an' I thought - heck, why not."
Posted by Rogue on Apr 14, 2007, 22:57
Rogue nodded and sipped her coke.
'Glad you did - we had no where to go before this place opened.'
Posted by Gambit on Apr 14, 2007, 23:01
"Yes you did," Remy laughed. "I could name a few fleshpots even here in New York... only none of ya boys an' girls would venture goin' dere."
Posted by Rogue on Apr 14, 2007, 23:03
'Everywhere we went we ended up being chucked out on our butts - or offered a job table dancing,' Rogue said, shaking her head, 'that doesn't happen here gladly.'
Posted by Gambit on Apr 14, 2007, 23:11
"Not to you, it doesn't," Remy said.
Posted by Rogue on Apr 14, 2007, 23:12
Rogue waved a hand dismissivly.
'Well that's all I'm worried about.' She thought a moment before raising an eyebrow, 'table dancers?'
Posted by Gambit on Apr 14, 2007, 23:29
"Don't tell me you ain't been to our dancer rooms," Remy nodded his head in that direction. "Mutant strippers an' all dat," he winked. "Recherche stuff."

Posted by Rogue on Apr 14, 2007, 23:32
Rogue looked towards the rooms before looking back with a small smile.
'Sounds fun.'
Posted by Gambit on Apr 15, 2007, 0:08
"Make sure you check dem out, den," Remy encouraged her. "I'd hate to see you miss de wicked side of dis."
Posted by Rogue on Apr 15, 2007, 0:10
'I'd hate to miss it too,' Rogue said with a grin,
Posted by Gambit on Apr 15, 2007, 0:14
"Dat be spirit," Remy laughed.
Posted by Rogue on Apr 15, 2007, 0:16
'This place is bad for my wholesome little southern girl image,' Rogue whined, faking annoyance.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 15, 2007, 0:17
"Oh, you're fired, den," Remy grinned, "an' don' ever come back again."
Posted by Rogue on Apr 15, 2007, 0:23
Rogue gave a dramatic gasp.
'Maybe I don't like being the wholsome little southern girl.'
Posted by Gambit on Apr 15, 2007, 0:26
"'Course you don't," Remy nodded with assuredness, "or you wouldn' even come here in de first place. It draws you like magnet, ain't it? - excuse de pun."
Posted by Rogue on Apr 15, 2007, 0:29
Rogue giggled and nodded, 'exactly.'
Posted by Gambit on Apr 15, 2007, 0:30
"Good," Remy said, "den I'm guaranteed to see ya every now an' den."
Posted by Rogue on Apr 15, 2007, 0:34
'Oh I'd have to see you even if I quit,' Rogue assured
Posted by Gambit on Apr 15, 2007, 0:35
"Damn, I'm flattered," Remy beamed.
Posted by Rogue on Apr 15, 2007, 0:36
'So you should be,' Rogue teased, 'and honoured - I'm a busy woman.'
Posted by Gambit on Apr 15, 2007, 0:45
"'Busy' as in 'courted by every man in de vicinity'?" Remy asked.
Posted by Rogue on Apr 15, 2007, 0:47
'I wish,' Rogue said with a snort.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 15, 2007, 0:50
"Don't," Remy grinned, "I saw a woman like dat once. A mutant - sexual attraction powers - got out of control. She didn't live through it."
Posted by Rogue on Apr 15, 2007, 0:53
'oh my,' Rogue said, 'still some male attention would be nice. Just to wind Erik up if nothing else.'
Posted by Gambit on Apr 15, 2007, 0:57
"I'm all up for things like dat," Remy winked.
Posted by Rogue on Apr 15, 2007, 1:00
Rogue laughed, 'I could of guessed.'
Posted by Gambit on Apr 15, 2007, 1:02
"I'm an open book, chere," Remy's face was all innocence.
Posted by Rogue on Apr 15, 2007, 1:03
'And I love ya for it,' Rogue said, sipping her coke.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 15, 2007, 1:46
"Ha, it finally pays off," Remy exclaimed triumphantly.
Posted by Rogue on Apr 15, 2007, 1:48
'Finally?' Rogue asked, an eyebrow raised, 'you know as well as I do that being all open and sh*t gets you women every time.'
Posted by Gambit on Apr 15, 2007, 1:53
"Come on Rogue," Remy grinned, "don't take de fun out of my playing it all open an' innocent every ten minutes. A guy's gotta have his alter ego moments, ya know."
Posted by Rogue on Apr 15, 2007, 1:54
Rogue giggled.
'Fine - I'm sorry.'
Posted by Gambit on Apr 15, 2007, 1:59
"You better be," he shook his finger at her, "never undermine your boss's charisma, it don't pay well."
Posted by Rogue on Apr 15, 2007, 2:01
Rogue rolled her eyes, 'whatever you say chief.'
Posted by Gambit on Apr 15, 2007, 2:06
"Whatever?" Remy raised his eyebrows at her. "Are you sure givin' me dat much liberty is a good thing?"
(( I'll probably be off very soon - as Shade and Rogue should be, too ))
Posted by Rogue on Apr 15, 2007, 2:07
'Why not?' Rogue said with a shrug.
((okay ))
Posted by Gambit on Apr 15, 2007, 2:14
"I'll hold you to your word an' I'll start givin' weird orders," he explained. "An' dat just might include table dancin'."
Posted by Rogue on Apr 15, 2007, 2:16
'I daresay I'd cope,' Rogue said sarcastically.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 15, 2007, 2:19
"Ooh, I recognize de impertinence of de South," Remy said. "Brings out de best childhood memories."
Posted by Rogue on Apr 15, 2007, 13:29
'Really?' Rogue asked, taking a long drink from her coke.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 15, 2007, 13:35
"Yep," Remy said. "Where you from, anyway?"
Posted by Rogue on Apr 15, 2007, 13:40
'Mississippi,' Rogue replied.
(( ))
Posted by Gambit on Apr 15, 2007, 14:33
"I see," Remy nodded.
Posted by Rogue on Apr 15, 2007, 14:37
'So where do you come from?' Rogue asked.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 15, 2007, 14:38
Remy laughed. "Take a guess, chere."
Posted by Rogue on Apr 15, 2007, 14:41
Rogue shrugged, 'I'm not good with stuff like this. France maybe?'
Posted by Gambit on Apr 15, 2007, 14:47
"Come on," Remy exclaimed in disappointment, "don' tell me you ain't ever been to de neighborin' state!"
Posted by Rogue on Apr 15, 2007, 14:49
'Louisiana?' Rogue asked.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 15, 2007, 14:51
"Bingo," he was still laughing. "So, you ever been to Nawlins?"
Posted by Rogue on Apr 15, 2007, 14:54
'Once but I was only nine or something,' Rogue said with a small shrug.

[Gambit]

Posted by Gambit on Apr 15, 2007, 14:58
"Plan it for your summer holidays," Remy suggested. "I'd show you around."
Posted by Rogue on Apr 15, 2007, 15:00
'That'd be nice,' Rogue said with a smile
Posted by Gambit on Apr 15, 2007, 15:05
"Nice - nothing! dat'd be fantastic," Remy's face lit up with excitement.
Posted by Rogue on Apr 15, 2007, 15:10
Rogue rolled her eyes, 'okay - it'd be fantastic then.'
Posted by Gambit on Apr 15, 2007, 15:22
"Dat's okay," Remy chuckled, seeing her not all that thrilled as she could've been. "You'll have your chance to appreciate it when time comes."
Posted by Rogue on Apr 15, 2007, 15:25
'I guess I will,' Rogue agreed, finishing off her coke.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 15, 2007, 16:00
"So," Remy placed his hands on the counter, "anythin' else to drink?"
Posted by Rogue on Apr 15, 2007, 16:01
Rogue shook her head.
'No thanks - or I'll be owing you one heck of a lot of money by the end of the year.'
Posted by Gambit on Apr 15, 2007, 16:05
"You can work your debt off as a table dancer," Remy winked.
(( to Shade ))
Posted by Rogue on Apr 15, 2007, 16:07
'Why not?' She joked, 'it'd be a different experience.'
Posted by Gambit on Apr 15, 2007, 16:09
"Alright den," Remy nodded. "Gotta remember to hire some more Southern girls, dis place would be a lot more fun wit' dem, it seems."
Posted by Rogue on Apr 15, 2007, 16:11
Rogue giggled, 'oh it would be.'
Posted by Gambit on Apr 15, 2007, 16:58
"Bring your home friends over, if you keep in touch wit' any," Remy said.
Posted by Rogue on Apr 15, 2007, 16:59
'I don't,' Rogue said simply, 'not a single one.'
Posted by Gambit on Apr 16, 2007, 0:10
It was an unusual thing to hear from a girl, but Remy decided to keep his comments to himself. "Well, den you be only one," he said, "an' you'll be de jewel to my club."
Posted by Rogue on Apr 16, 2007, 0:11
'I'm flattered,' Rogue said with a grin.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 16, 2007, 0:20
"It's nice to hear," Remy replied with a grin. "A flattered girl is a good start of day."
Posted by Rogue on Apr 16, 2007, 0:23
'Glad I could be of assistance.'
Posted by Gambit on Apr 16, 2007, 0:26
"Even now, you're a good employee, what else can I say," Remy laughed.
Posted by Rogue on Apr 16, 2007, 0:31
Rogue giggled, 'you could say I'm beautiful - which I am.'
Posted by Gambit on Apr 16, 2007, 0:35
"To each compliment its own moment, cheri," Remy smiled. "Yes, I could say you're beautiful, an' sexy, an' fun, an' fascinatin' - but I wouldn' want to throw it all into one heap just for de sake of sayin' those words, ya know."
Posted by Rogue on Apr 16, 2007, 0:37
'I see what you mean,' Rogue said with a grin, 'I'm fascinating?'
Posted by Gambit on Apr 16, 2007, 0:45
"What, you doubt it?" Remy wondered.
Posted by Rogue on Apr 16, 2007, 0:46
'I thought I was a dull rambler,' Rogue said with a nod, 'or a crazy rambler.'
Posted by Gambit on Apr 16, 2007, 0:49
"Love crazy ramblers, cheri," Remy said, beaming.
Posted by Rogue on Apr 16, 2007, 0:50
'And that would explain why I'm fascinating to you then,' Rogue giggled
Posted by Gambit on Apr 16, 2007, 0:51
"No, it wouldn't, actually," Remy said, "but I ain't revealin' all of my cards at once, Rogue."
Posted by Rogue on Apr 16, 2007, 0:52
'Oh go on!' Rogue said, almost whining.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 16, 2007, 0:55
"Dieu, Rogue," Remy exclaimed, "haven't you had enough information for one day?"
Posted by Rogue on Apr 16, 2007, 0:56
Rogue shook her head.
'This is why I'm so useful - I'm good at getting and taking in information.'
Posted by Gambit on Apr 16, 2007, 0:58
"Well, you've had your dose of Gambit-related info already, I tell you that," he shook his finger at her.
Posted by Rogue on Apr 16, 2007, 0:59
Rogue pouted and gave her best puppy dog eyes.
'Please.'

[Gambit]

Posted by Gambit on Apr 16, 2007, 1:11
"I'll lower your salary," Remy added a warning to his tone.
Posted by Rogue on Apr 16, 2007, 1:12
Rogue shrugged, 'Meh - I'll rob Erik if I need money.'
Posted by Gambit on Apr 16, 2007, 1:18
"Tell me chere--" Remy's eyes flickered mischievously, "you ain't here for de job, are ya?"
Posted by Rogue on Apr 16, 2007, 1:20
'I don't know what you mean,' Rogue replied, crossing one leg over the other.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 16, 2007, 1:23
"Oh really? Because you sound like you do," Remy remarked.
Posted by Rogue on Apr 16, 2007, 1:25
Rogue raised her hands in the air, 'I swear I don't.'
Posted by Gambit on Apr 16, 2007, 1:28
"Alright," Remy shrugged, conceding. "Den I'll jus' pray for your pure an' innocent soul."
Posted by Rogue on Apr 16, 2007, 1:28
Rogue grinned, 'why thank you.'
Posted by Gambit on Apr 16, 2007, 1:32
"My pleasure," Remy grinned. He glanced at her glass. "You're havin' anythin' else?"
(( had to restrain myself here not to quote "stick to water" from X1 ))
Posted by Rogue on Apr 16, 2007, 1:33
Rogue shrugged, 'yeah okay - give me anything - suprises are good.'
((where's the tip jar? *searches* ))
Posted by Gambit on Apr 16, 2007, 1:41
Remy placed some ice into a glass, adding soda and some grenade juice. Then he took a knife and, putting it to the edge of the drink, carefully poured cream on top of the drink, and the cream formed a top layer in the glass. He added a few candies on top of it.
" 's called 'Shirley Temple'," Gambit said as he placed the drink in front of the girl. "Because it's non-alcoholic."
(( tip jar at Gambit's place?! *le gasp* how insulting ))
Posted by Rogue on Apr 16, 2007, 1:42
Rogue looked at it with an approving smile, 'It looks nice,' she said before sipping it, 'and it tastes great.'
((so sorry. anyways I'm off - have to be up early tomorrow))
Posted by Gambit on Apr 16, 2007, 1:47
"C'est bon," Remy smiled. It was always nice to see his cocktail ideas appreciated.
(( what a pity - I'm spending the whole night here online tonight. Have a work to finish by the morning. ))
