kineticcajun | 1st Card Dealt [Action]

[Luceti, today, there is a very large, sturdy cardboard box lying in the plaza. It’s not walking around, just sitting there, with one foot poking out at a somewhat awkward angle from one corner. It was dumped, at some point in the night, on the front step of the Item Shop, and there it remains. Its occupant has only just now woken up, and he’s not too thrilled. From time to time, the box rustles, and occasionally there are muffled curses in Cajun French.

It’s a tight fit in this here box when you’re too tall to really fit in it.

Eventually, once he’s managed to untangle himself from the knot the Malnosso have practically twisted him into and gotten out of this box, Gambit will be making the rounds through the shops in the plazas. Dressed in just his New Feather pants. He is bent on at least finding his coat. The half-naked part doesn’t bother him in the slightest, but he likes that coat. From there, it’s time to get a feel for the neighborhood. If he’s gonna be stuck here, he’s gonna know his way around.

Feel free to run into Gambit at any point in his adventure~]

[When Remy gets to the clothing shop to get his coat, there's going to be a Bruce there too, looking through various winter clothes and jackets. Gotta prepare forchillyweather after all. Even if...he's wearing a hoody with a rather familar X symbol on it.He wears this during every New Feather cycle don't worry about it.

He glances over at Remy with a raised eyebrow.]

...

New?

[Remy glances over and Bruce gets a curious look of his own in return. That X symbol is indeed very familiar. And it's making him tread carefully here.]

That I am, mon ami. Jus' woke up here this mornin'. [He's still a little stiff in the neck from it, too.]

You been here a while?

Only a few months.

You uh. Need any help finding anything?

Lookin' for my coat, actually. I hear our clothes are s'posed to show up here, non?

[It really shouldn't be so hard to find in here.]

Guess I should probably find somethin' else to wear while I'm at it.

Might be a little hot for a coat... but yeah they do usually end up here.

[Says the guy wearing a hoody and a cap.]

Malnosso got a pretty big selection here. So just tell me if you need anything. [...] Oh, I'm Bruce by the way.

Used to do just fine in Louisiana summer, but thanks for the tip.

[He'll offer a hand to shake. Best to start off on a good foot. ~~Makes getting away easier if things take a turn later on, after all.~~]

Remy LeBeau. Some folks call me Gambit. Nice t'meet you, Bruce.

[And he'll be shaking that hand!]

Nice to meet you too Remy. I take it someones already told you everything you need to know huh? [That's strange. He didn't see an entry though. Maybe he ran into someone he knew? Or just a friendly villager.]

Just about. Ran into some familiar faces, got somethin' of a run-down.

[If by "familiar faces" we mean "former enemies." Thaaat's a detail that can be glazed over.

Aha! The coat! Yoink.]

I'm willin' to bet there's still a lot more to find out about, though.

I'm not sure there's very much to know besides the usual.

Your stuck on another world, there's no way out, occasionally there's experiments. That kind of thing. [Let's just leave the whole war thing out for now.]

[Don't mind Remy as he checks his pockets to make sure everything's there.]

Lemme guess. Our landlords never show their faces, either.

[Seems to follow the trend. And a war isn't too different from how it was getting back home.]

[He gives a very small smile at that.]

How did you guess?

Lucky guess. [Dammit his card stash is gone.] Seemed t'me somebody woulda knocked 'em for a loop if they did.

Yeah, most villagers here aren't exactly fond of their treatment of 'em.

But occasionally they do appear on the journals for announcements. So make sure you keep a look out for those.

[You, Bruce, are a wonderful person for these protips.]

Thanks for de tip, mon ami. I'll have t'keep my eyes open.
