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~]

[Rogue doesn't exactly get to the Item Shop early, since she likes to enjoy her mornings, but her 'shift' starts at around 10, and that's when she shows up. And stops. And stares.]

The heck?

[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?

[That's a very bare foot sticking out of a cardboard box - chances are good that it's a New Feather. Probably. Hopefully. The fact that the box is so still could make it a corpse.

Why is it in front of my shop?

And if she was a New Feather somehow stuffed in a box, she would not be a very happy New Feather. So that meant that helping whoever this was could be... problemantic. And if this was some kind of practical joke, then the problem would be on the other err... foot entirely.

The calculations run through her mind in less than a handful of heartbeats, and Rogue's already crouching beside it to try lifting up the box. It's. Stuck pretty tight on whoever this is.]


You alive in there?

[ you know. jubilee is out and about - she's got a casset player, she's got headphones on, and she's making some rounds on her skateboard. it's old hat.

that is, up until she looks up and sees a flash of those eyes and a familiar haircolor. then, jubilee of the concrete jungle is going to-

well actually she's going to be too stunned to stop and go arse over teakettle into the fountain. ]

[ and she'll take that hand, coughing up the water she'd inadvertently swallowed. ]

G- [ STARE. ] Gambit?!

[The voice is vaguely familiar and mostly muffled and whoever is in here is entirely stuck. And if he - definitely a he - is as naked as the foot suggests, then the cardboard has got to be rubbing uncomfortably.]

Well, that's a relief. [She tries to pull it up again but... still stuck.]

Just hang on there. [Screw pulling. She's just going to find the seams and start ripping this sucker opened.] We'll get this open in a jiff.

Only a few months.

You uh. Need any help finding anything?

[ GASP GASP okay there we go. ]

It's J-jubilee. [ ... okay. straightening up. there we go. Stupid fountain. ]

[Rogue gasps. Of all the people in the world--] Gambit?

[She takes an automatic half-step back in the face of all that skin. The Malnosso, some absent and removed part of her mind decides, are perverts. And she could just kiss them for it.]

[ she'll be taking that hand and jumping over the edge of the fountain. goodness, there's already a puddle forming around her. silly jacket. she 'bleh's and peels it off, setting it on the edge of the fountain.

Okay. Now on to serious, serious things. It's very obvious that he doesn't recognize her - she's gotten used to this, mostly. The other two recognized her... but this is important. this is the MOST IMPORTANT. ]


What did you do to your hair?

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.

[She shifts further back, an easily defensive stance. Since he's still standing in the ruins of that box, he's going to have to get out one way or another and she has the feeling he won't choose the easy 'away from her' way.]

Same place you did.

[...]

Don't tell me. Ya don't remember.
