FOURTH WALL - Joint Post

JOINT POST for Gambit and Noa! Make a note in the subject line who you're wanting and I'll answer ♥

GAMBIT: Will be lurking around Good Spirits both nights, keeping an eye on who comes and goes. There will probably be much card shuffling.

NOA: Will be busy running around town the entire time and getting into everyone's business. Anyone, anywhere, any time, she'll be there and will be fascinated by all.

[And suddenly, there's a clink on the table as his favorite brand of bourbon and a bottle of Southern Comfort appear. She didn't come up from behind him, no, just from that angle to the side where it makes it hardest to see in his periphery vision in order to drop off her peace offering.

And then she leans back and smirks, and this drawl may have a familiar tone:]

Was wonderin' if you'd be here.

[One eyebrow raises up slightly at the sudden appearance of the bourbon, with an accompanying small frown as the bottle appears as well. Who...]

[The cautious suspicion is completely blown away by confusion, though, once he turns and is greeted with that familiar drawl. But this. This is not the same person he was expecting to see. But she kind of is. Only not slightly younger than him and with a lot of gothic makeup.

He missed something. He's sure of it.]

...Rogue?

[Oh, this is so... strange! And interesting! The sudden temperature change was strange, but even stranger is all the... white stuff on the ground and those giant things that aren't trees and everything else and it was so new and there aren't any other fairies here that she can see and even stranger yet is that there are humans! Actual humans! Though she doesn't remember anything about humans ever having wings, but still! HUMANS.

However, the cold is really starting to bother Crysta, and she decides to buzz into one of those giant things that isn't a tree while one of the doors is briefly cracked open. She doesn't know how much it'll help, but... oh! It is warmer. This is so amazing! She'll have to tell everyone about it once she gets back to Fern Gully.

... Hm. What's that human with the odd eyes doing with those... what are those? Is it some kind of magic?

Welp. Crysta's just going to fly around to try and get a good look at whatever it is Gambit is doing, though to him, she'll just look like some kind of buzzing, glowing, blue thing.]

[Not magic, no, but some pretty fancy shuffling nonetheless. But he hesitates in the shuffling as the blue thing buzzes its way on towards him. What... is it? Some kind of magic? A mutation? Any other of a long list of possible creatures that seem to find their way here?

Almost as a test, he'll just shuffle through the cards at a speed that makes them little more than a blur. What do, blue glowy thing?]

In the flesh. [She takes the seat next to him and crosses her legs, thoroughly enjoying herself. It's not often that she gets to see him this confused and before so many things went wrong.] Miss me, Sugah?

[Magic, yes! Mutation? Nnnot so much. Not that Crysta would even know what a mutation is.

But... oh, that has to be magic! Curiously, she buzzes closer, although she frequently darts behind any other space or object, so as not to be seen. ... Because she totally hasn't been spotted. Totally.]

[This is definitely not the same Rogue. Even if the Malnosso pulled something to make her look different, he's never gotten a "sugah" out of her that wasn't sarcastic. ~~Not that he's complaining, of course.~~ Maybe she's the Rogue from Jubilee's world...?

He's still confused, but quickly regaining his composure. And by "composure" we mean "charm."]

Jus' caught me by surprise, chere. 'preciate the comp'ny.

[Especially when the company is not only Rogue, but also a Rogue who apparently knows his favorite drink. It might not be adding up quite right, but hell, he can appreciate it for what it is.]

[Maybe if he wasn't keeping so careful a watch out. But he is, and so you are very much an obvious thing, blue glowy. Not that he has much idea of what you are.

Still testing, he takes one card from the top of the deck and puts it down on the table, somewhere between them.

It's not charged, for what it's worth.]

[Oh yes, she does recognize that "composure."]

Mmmhmm. Ah'm sure you do. [And she lets her eyes do a slow drag from his feet to his face, taking in all the differences and similarities before reaching over and casually opening her beverage of choice.]

Ah've wondered what'd it be like, bumpin' into a younger you. Stranger things have happened, right? [And this is a definite smirk as she pours herself a glass.] So now Ah just need to decide if Ah've already irreversibly damaged the space-time continuum an' can actually stick around for a drink.

[It's a dare. Go on. Charm her. She wants to see how good you are at this age.]

[Well, he can't go backing down from a dare, can he? With a spark of laughter in his eyes, he lifts up his drink for a toast. A playful one, but a toast nonetheless.]

I t'ink it'll live if you stay for jus' a li'l while longer, non? Space-time don't really work the way it should 'round here anyhow.

[After all, Jubilee came from ten years in the past and somehow knew all of them as being older in spite of it. Space-time continuums have no place in Luceti, he figures.]

[And Crysta will investigate! ... Hesitantly, anyway.

She buzzes down and glances up at Gambit - omg human - before taking a look at the card. It's thin like a leaf, but it looks nothing like one, and... hm. Maybe she could just ask him what it is! Though that would require her to do something else, first.]

Bless your eyes with magic light I [THIS IS SO EXCITING SHE'S GOING TO TALK TO A HUMAN] give the gift of fairy size! [WAIT SHIT NO] Sight!

[OHGOD WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED

What just

seriously

IS THIS HIS CARD THAT HE IS STANDING ON BECAUSE IT IS STUPID HUGE NOW

mon dieu it has to be his card the pattern matches and...

...is that a fairy girl.

Give him a moment.]

...Is this some kinda pixie dust t'ing?

[She swirls her drink around in the glass before looking up at him at raising it in a toast.] So does that mean it's one of those 'Live it while you're in it, forget it when ya leave it' kinda deals?

[Glass clink. And he'll down a good amount of this bourbon because dieu what is this place.]

Got it in one. What I hear, I been here twice, but I only remember this one.

[Charming grin goes here.] Might as well make the best of it, right?

[Yeah, she's still got a lot of work to do in regards to this whole magic thing.

However, Crysta shakes her head in response to his question.]

No, I'm a fairy.

What about you? Are you really a human?

[WAIT don't get distracted. She should probably explain.]

Well, I was trying to cast a spell so you could see me, but... I kind of shrunk you by accident. [WHOOPS.]

Ah'll drink to that. [Because, hell, at least the booze is free.

And oh-ho, she knows that grin. Maybe you're not so different after all. She rests her elbows on the table beside him and leans in.]

S'a shame, though. Woulda been nice ta make some memories. [And a smirk, because she knows just what's going through your head right now, and she holds up her - still gloved - hand.] Ah've got two things ta say to you, Remy LeBeau. Think of it as your very own Christmas Carol.

[...Seriously?]

I'm a human alright. [~~Homo superior, no less I mean uh~~]

...Can you undo that spell, petite?

[Merde, petite goes for both of them, doesn't it.]

[That smirk is definitely familiar. And slightly unsettling, if she knows what's going through his head. That's not something anyone has ever really had much claim to before.

Still, he just chuckles and leans an elbow on the table as well. Nope, not backing down.]

You're not draggin' me off to go see my own grave, are you, chere?

[Noooooooooooot funny, considering.] Well, I did leave off the third thing on the list.

[But then her face sobers, and she holds up her index finger.] One: Gettin' help from men named "Sinister" an' "Apocalypse" is always a bad idea. For any reason. And there's no such thing as debts owed ta men with those names.

[With his age... she might already be too late. But she might not be. And maybe there's a chance that this could somehow sink in and... change things.]

[Yeah. Too late on Sinister. And swap "Apocalypse" with "Magneto" and it's too late for that, too. His expression becomes a little more guarded. Escaping an owed debt to Sinister isn't quite as easy as walking away, and something tells him his older self has run into that same problem if she's telling him this.

Rather than argue, or try to defend his point of view, he'll just nod. He listened, for what it's worth.]

An' the second t'ing?

[...yeah, she's got a bad feeling that she might be too late. Oh well. She tried.

And her middle finger joins her index one.]

For Gawd's sake, don't let me find out about Belladonna on my own.

[That's said with some humor, since they've been through a lot since then. But. Still.]

[Inward wince. Dieu, Belladonna. It may have been said with some humor, but that's. That's not a topic he really wants to get into with his Rogue. (If "his" is even an appropriate word, she's more her own.) He can't see it ending well. At all.

It is definitely a good thing she brought this bourbon.]

I'll try not to. An' hopefully she ain't runnin' around here somewhere too.

[If she is, he's probably going to round some corner and end up nearly being killed. While that might be entertaining for other parties, it's not something he'd care to get into.

And because he gets the feeling he owes this, for whatever happened when this Rogue met Bella:]

Désolé.

[Aww, Remy. She really hopes you make some different choices so you don't feel that you have to say sorry quite as much. You've got such a good heart, and her own aches a little.]

D'accord.

[And she raises her glass again. Drink? This conversation is part of why she brought it over, after all.]

'Pehteet'? [WHAT DOES THIS HUMAN WORD MEAN? She'll have to ask him again after she changes him back... and also if all human's talk like that.]

I could try... I've never actually done anything like this before.
