kineticcajun | 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.]

[Voice]

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.

[Sigh.] Don't remind me.

I will try not to. [She chuckles, then sobers.]

Call someone Rems. Before it gets dark in truth. There is still a vampire in the woods.

Y'know, I'm less worried about a vampire than I am that huge wolf I'm always hearin' about. [At least wolves are real, as far as he's concerned. For all it matters here.]

But that Jedi of yours is headin' out here. I t'ink.

Moro? So long as you do not harm living trees you should not have much to fear.

[At least from what she remembers of their conversations. Which were few.]

Jedi of...Ben is not my Jedi.

[You make this too easy, Adele.]

I didn't name any names.

You implied.

Still didn't name any names. That was all you.

I sincerely doubt you would call Anakin or Luke.

Luke ain't a bad guy. But you're right, I don't know Anakin too good.

Which leaves Luke or Ben. You only ever refer to Ben as 'my' Jedi. Therefor- You called Ben.

More like he offered. But alright. You caught me.

He knows I was worried for you. Try not to give him too much trouble when he arrives?

I can try. Don't t'ink I can cause too much trouble right now anyway.

[Hard to be an elusive pain in the neck when you can't see where you're going.]

Also...could you. Would you do a favor for me Rems? I may have...forgotten to tell him I was injured.

[There is a small pause, and then a sigh.]

If he don't take it too well, you get to elaborate for 'im.

Deal. Thank you Chou chou.

De rien.

[And because he can't resist getting in a little jab:] But you gonna owe me some cornbread for it, at least.

If it will make you happy Rems I shall make a whole pot of jambalaya as well as the cornbread.

You gotta ask? You know that'd make me happy.

Then once I can stand long enough to cook it; I shall. Just for you Rems.

Thanks, doc. Jus' make sure you're all healed first.

Between you, Luke, and Ben? I think I will have no choice but to wait until I'm healed.

You say that like it's a bad t'ing.

I get bored Rems. They will not even let me play the piano.

[...Okay, that makes him feel bad.]

When I come by to visit, I'll bring you some cards. Not sure how good I can play for now, but it's somethin', non?
