4th Card Dealt [Voice/Action]

[kineticcajun]

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.]

[Gambit answers that question with a confident smile. Nothing weird here. Just a guy with red-on-black eyes shoving a hideous sofa up the stairs. Not weird at all, right?]

Nothin' to worry 'bout, petite. Jus' gettin' this monster outta here.

[Action]

[shamelessness]

[Oh no, not weird at all- wait. The couch is a monster? Oh no!]

D-dont get yourself hurt!

[Action]

[kineticcajun]

[...Okay, maybe he shouldn't have worded it that way. It's ugly, but it seems to feed only on other upholstered items. He chuckles quietly. The concern is honestly kind of cute.]

I'll be okay. Promise. We got gators bigger'n this t'ing back home.

[Action]

[shamelessness]

"Gators"?

[Shiemi wasn't sure what he meant. Even though it would probably be best to leave a man in the middle of something be, she can't pass up the chance to speak to a neighbor!]

[Action]

[kineticcajun]

[Oh right, other worlds. Oops. Sofa saga aside, he is always up for Louisiana story time.]

Real big, real ugly lizards. Wit' lotsa teeth. Ain't very nice, either.

[shamelessness]

[Oh alligators exist in her world. She simply doesn't recognized the nickname.]

And they're bigger than that? [Scary!] You must be brave to live there.

[Action]

[kineticcajun]

[Of course they have a nickname. They're like everybody's backyard pet.]

The bayous let 'em get pretty big. You get used to 'em after a while, petite.

[As long as he seems okay with it... Oh! There's something she hasn't done! Introduce herself!]

I've been so rude, sorry! My name is Moriyama Shiemi, and I live in the first room.

[Action]

[kineticcajun]

[Smiling, holding the sofa in place with his hip, he bows.]

Enchanté, Shiemi. I'm Remy.

[Action]

[shamelessness]

[The girl smiles and bows slightly herself.]

It's a pleasure to meet you, Remy.

[Action]

[kineticcajun]

[He can swear he feels this sofa moving a little on its own. Mon dieu.]

Gotta get movin' this t'ing upstairs again, Mademoiselle Shiemi. Keep an eye out a li'l later though... gonna be some fireworks.

[Action]

[shamelessness]

O-oh, right! I'm sorry to keep you.

[She looks at the couch. She'd offer to help, but she's kind of weak and frail.]

Where should I go to to see fireworks?

[Action]

[kineticcajun]

[Hey, no worries about the couch. He's a big tough mutant, he can handle it.]

West side'a the buildin' oughta be about right.

[Action]

[shamelessness]

I'll be there! When will it happen?

[Action]

[kineticcajun]

Should be jus' a li'l bit after dark.

[Action]

[shamelessness]

I'll remember that! Thanks for inviting me to see.

[Action]

[kineticcajun]

Any time, petite. Jus' make sure you stand good an' clear of the buildin', non?

[Not that he doubts he won't pull off this exploding sofa stunt perfectly, but it's always a good idea to keep the kids well out of the way.]

[Action]

[shamelessness]

Understood! [With a smile and a wave she'll stop bothering him for now.]
