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.

Wait. Before ya go in there, tell me what layout looks like.
[Because if he goes in there, blind and cold, then... he'll just end up stumbling around. But if he can at least prime the pump, then she won't feel like a horrible person for just leaving him there.]
[Action]
Should be a sofa against the right wall. Not sure if it got put back, but last I saw the coffee table, it was knocked into the far wall. An' a shelf off to the left to the door here.
[And an upturned shoebox off in a corner that usually traps the tribble, but somehow he doubts that counts.]
[Action]
[Action]
[Yeah, he hasn't really done much with the apartment. He keeps hoping not sprucing it up will mean he goes home quicker.]

All right, then. Good luck.
