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.]

[action]
You got that right. Not to mention, I ain't about to turn down a lady's request for anythin'.
[The slight smirk returning, he jerks a thumb at the sofa.]
Jus' about ready to start haulin' this sucker? S'pretty heavy.
[action]
Ready when you are. Between us, we should be able to get this thing to the roof.
[action]
Oughta be a piece'a cake. I get one side, you get the other?
[He's already on his way over to the sofa to heft up his end.]
[action]
Sure thing. It can't be too hard, can it?
[action]
[He wishes he were joking about that.]
[action]
Hang on a sec.
[He doesn't like the sound of that, nor the implied threat to his favorite jacket. He shrugs it off and tosses it onto a chair that looks a little more safe, and rolls up the sleeves of his black dress shirt before he takes hold of the monster.
He tries a cursory push, as a test.]
Goddamn, you weren't joking about it being heavy!
[action]
[And with his own coat off, he's beginning to really appreciate Adele's hatred for the thing. A few tugs on his sleeves were all the warning he needed.
Bracing against his end of the couch now.]
Count'a three?
[action]
[He feels a little like he's slaying a minotaur, and a little like he's being a good samaritan. As much as he'd like to say that he was doing this out of the goodness of his heart, he knows what it's really about.
The hard work will just make the ensuing explosion more exiciting.
He too braces himself.]
Ready when you are.
[action]
[He's expecting a decent turnout. At least Rogue, Nami, and Adele, though he expects there may be a few more. Because come on, who can turn down an exploding couch? This is awesome.
Oh, right, moving the sofa is the first step.]
Un, deux, trois!
[Lifting now!]
[action]
He puts his back into it, forcing as much strength as he has into his skinny, skinny arms to get the monsterous thing to budge.]
On y va!!
