7th Card Dealt [Action/Voice]

[Just as the afternoon is winding down today, Gambit is waking up. In the middle of the woods. With the damned journal right next to him. Only as far as he can tell, it's the middle of the night, which is weird, because he can't hear any crickets or anything. But it's pitch dark out, in any case.

Which is also weird, because he should be able to see just fine in the dark, but that's another matter entirely.

He spends a while feeling around in the dark, trying to figure out a sense of direction (moss grows on the north side of trees, right?) before he ultimately figures, screw it, the enclosure is only so big, walking far enough in one direction will eventually lead him somewhere. The sooner he can find his way back to his apartment, the better. Everything hurts, up to and including his pride, but being stuck with nothing but a bunch of lunatic scientists for a couple weeks did little for his comfort levels in this place.

A couple hours and several bumps into trees later, he admits defeat. Whatever direction he's walking in (south...?), he's not getting anywhere except into more tree trunks. He's lost. And the fact that he can't see a damned thing is creeping up into a growing sense of panic. But now isn't the time to freak out. He can ride through this. He's been through worse.

But just this once, he's going to have to eat his big LeBeau Sense of Pride. Out comes the journal.]

Alright, alright. Y'all didn't move the village in the las' couple weeks, did you? Don't seem like it's where I left it.

Rems-

[Low, rough, and relieved. Back from wherever he'd been taken. From whatever they'd done to him. And her laid low still. Not as bad as it once was, but ordered to bedrest all the same.]

You are back?

"I'm afraid we're still right where we were, at least in relation to the rest of the enclosure. Can you see anything?"

[Because Obi-Wan can't help him without a landmark, can he?]

I wasn't certain you would be returned to the enclosure. Many...many have left, while you were away.

[A frightening amount have. It disturbs her, longstanding members of the community, known and unknown to her leaving or being taken. Better that they return home but. How certain are they that those that leave go home?]

...Merde. The forest. Have you any idea where in the forest? Near the lakes, the river?

[In fact, Obi-Wan is the joking sort, but his response is dead serious.]

"... Gambit, it's the late afternoon. Still more than enough light to navigate by..."

[... He had a distinctly bad feeling about this.]

"... have you tried to illuminate your surroundings with that little exploding trick of yours?"

[...well, this should be good. And you don't quite sound like yourself.

Have a gentle line.]


Depends where ya thought you left it.

[Welcome back. I was worried.]

Ginia. Detective Chun-Li. At least ten others that I have heard of, though I did not know them well. Many others have been taken. It is...worrying.

[Woods. By one of the rivers. That. That does not narrow down the location much at all.]

...do you think. [This is a terrible idea.] That you could send up a flare of some kind, were I to come out and search for you?

[She ought to send Ben. This was a terrible idea. Walking any distance was frowned upon. Hiking in the woods? She'd be strapped to the bed.]

Unless it grew legs an' walked while you were away.

[Pause a beat.]

Which it didn't.

[Private]

[She can't stand it any longer.]

You hurt?

[What did they do to you?]

...the trees are as they have always been Rems.

[She'd been willing to call Ben and send the Jedi out after Gambit- until this. Something was off. She shifts, hisses a bit at the discomfort, and sits up.]

What's wrong?

[Filters are not Obi-Wan's strong suit, but he takes Gambit's meaning and he damn well tries his best to pretend they are.]

"Do you have any idea as to your whereabouts? Are you outside?"

Huh? Whaddya mean? [The village seemed pretty normal to him while he was jogging about in his manly pink hoodie and sweatpants, but maybe he missed an important detail.]
