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.]

Comments

action;

[alloys]

Always am.

[He'll just lean against the wall here and be entirely unhelpful in any way, shape or form.]

That's the spirit. But your back into it. And so forth.

action;

[kineticcajun]

You keep up the pep talk, mon ami, an' I'm lettin' this sofa get you.

[Totally ridiculous sounding threat? Yes. Something that is actually somewhat threatening? Also yes.]

action;

[alloys]

Oh dear god, please, no. I don't doubt that thing has a malicious conscious that is just waiting to eat some innocent bystander. Really, you're heroic just for handling it. So. Kudos.

action;

[kineticcajun]

[Soft, amused snort. And then a grunt as he gives the sofa a solid push up a few stairs. And squashing down a growing urge to charge the railing to go off behind him in Tony's general vicinity.]

Hey, you ain't seen this t'ing eatin' socks an' other bits'a furniture.

action;

[alloys]

No, but I believe it. It's a monster. That's loud and clear.

[Man, is this going to take all day? He might deign to help just to speed up the process.]

action;

[kineticcajun]

[He's got this. But there's a reason they left Colossus to all the really heavy lifting. It's a little slow, but he's got the sofa on a steady ascent. No sofa has any business being this heavy.]

Glad that much got through.

action;

[alloys]

I should have brought a lifting bot along with me. --Or I could probably build one in the time it takes you to get it up the stairs.

action;

[kineticcajun]

You actually got one made?

[And shut up, man, he's making decent time. This stupid sofa is only around eight feet high and full of eaten upholstery.]

...What'd you make it out of? Pine cones?

action;

[alloys]

...No, but now that you mention it, I think I've got a project for some evening. Pine cone robot. I like it.

action;

[kineticcajun]

Make it shoot acorns an' you'll really corner the market.

[Slooowly making it up the stairs. This is the last time he asks you for help.]

action;

[alloys]

I'm sure I can manage that. Acorns aren't very lethal, though. Maybe poisonous mushrooms, though.

[That's probably for the best.]

action;

[kineticcajun]

You t'ink of everythin'.

[Merde. Foot of the couch is stuck on a stair. So, so tempting just to blast it off.]

action;

[alloys]

I always do.

[Oh, here, look. Look at him being so generous to come and help him lift that stuck foot of the couch. Remember this moment.]

action;

[kineticcajun]

Good t'ing, too, 'cause I t'ink I'm startin' to see t'ings.

[Surely he just imagined that you were lending a hand, Tony.]

action;

[alloys]

...Don't know what you're talking about.

action;

[kineticcajun]

Right.

[Why are there so many stairs in this place and no elevator.]

action;

[alloys]

[...you know, he's thinking the exact same thing.]

...Think they could do with installing an elevator here.
