4th Card Dealt [Voice/Action]

Anybody up for givin' a homme a hand haulin' a sofa up some stairs? Gotta get dis t'ing up to the roof of Community Buildin' 1, and it's a heavy li'l sucker.

'preciate any help, mes amis.

[Later on, once he's gotten Adele's abomination of a sofa dragged up to the roof, it's showtime. Or, well. Will be showtime after dark. Best effect at that point, after all. You can't go doing something crazy and stupid without doing it to the full effect. At least not when your name is Remy LeBeau.

The sofa will eventually be charged up to high heaven, shoved off the ledge, and blow up for everyone's viewing pleasure.

This is what it is to be a good neighbor and you know it.]

[She is not about to disagree. That thing is hideous. But...]

Why do ya need ta drag it to the top of the buildin' ta get rid of it?

[Because let's just make sure that she has this straight...]

[Rogue, he is sure you already know where he's going with this.]

Better to keep it off the ground when it goes boom, non?

So you're goin' to explode it by a building. Filled with people.

[Granted, this is not worse than a Thursday at the mansion, and she trusts Gambit's precision a bit more than Roberto's, but... this is the sort of thing X-Men are to generally disapprove of.]

Ah, chere, you know my aim. Won't be any worse'n the fireworks we set off for the new year.

[He might be on better behavior lately, but he's still Gambit. And he knows full well the crazy things that happen at that mansion of yours. Not backing down. Nope.]

The fireworks didn't have the same explodin' potential [She how nice she is in not using "kinetic energy" over the open network?] as a sofa.

[Ah, the small courtesies. He appreciates them. He really does. But not enough to back off blowing up this sofa.]

Might be a bigger boom, but you know I can handle it. Won't be a single broken window. Promise.

[Trusting your promises, Remy LeBeau, is not something Rogue is yet fully prepared to do.]

Reckon you're thinkin' it'll make quite a show...

[She can probably hear the grin widening without even seeing him at all.]

You t'inkin' it won't, chere?

I'm thinkin' this is a dumb move.

[But wryly. So wryly.]

[Far too entertained.]

You don't hafta watch, y'know.

If you're goin' ta explore the finer points of explodin' with Toto up there, someone's gotta.

[Oh. She'll be there all right.]

[There's just a shade of a second's pause before he starts laughing.]

"Toto"?

[Dieu, how did he not hear that nickname until now? Priceless. Stark must just love it.]

[Because usually Rogue is nice enough not to use it over the network. But then, he had to go throw Rogurt around it a few days ago. Not gonna happen without consequences, Tony.

Smirk.]

I think it fits.

You gotta point. It's a step up from "tin man."

["Tin Man" would actually be perfect. If she was someone who didn't know the story behind his heart, and his reasons, and his... entire identity. She can't call him that, much as she'd like to. And she's not sure if she should be encouraging Gambit before or away from it.]

Mmm.

[Subject change no jutsu!] 'bout when were ya plannin' on exploding this thing?

[Aha! He knew you were interested in this exploding sofa.]

T'inkin'... right after dark oughta be good. Might take a bit 'til I get it to the roof.

[Wheels... turning...]

You're gonna lug it up there all by yourself?

[Girl, you better not be thinking about coming over and sitting on this sofa while he tries to haul it up the stairs. While he's sure he'd have that coming, he wouldn't be terribly amused.]

Don't need to worry 'bout me. Got an offer from someone willin' to lend a hand.

[Psh, of course not. Why would she think of a thing like that?]

I ain't worried. [But can you hear the smirk in her voice?] Just wouldn't wanna miss the show.

'Course you're not.

[Because it would serve him right. But he will accept appreciation for his work as well.]

Oughta be a good show, at least.

I reckon we'll see about that.

[Aaaaaaaaand close the book.

But don't worry. You'll see her later.]
