[Another wave of New Feathers, some of them familiar faces, has filled Gambit with an overabundance of restless energy... moreso than usual, even. And so, bright and early, he's out at the Battle Dome to blow off steam. It's also a good way to work through any number of restless thoughts he's been stewing over lately. At least, in Gambit Terms, it's a good way of getting thinking done.

After fighting off waves of zombies, knocking a building down on Sabretooth, and blowing up Malnosso droid lookalikes, he's settling down a bit into a basketball game.

"A little bit" because every few successful baskets, he charges the ball and blows up the basket.

Gotta keep things interesting, after all.

And of all things to get him thinking, this is it...]

Y'know, I been here a year already an' it's 'bout time I asked about this.

We got people wit' all kindsa powers 'round here, right? Shootin' fireballs an' summonin' wind outta nowhere? There's gotta be someone in this place who can drop a slab of cement down for a basketball court, neh? Grass an' dirt roads don't work as good for that kinda t'ing.

Anybody who can magic up a good flat surface, lemme know. An' anyone up for a game once it's thrown down? Lemme know that, too. Game ain't as much fun solo.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Plenty'a fun, chere. [This probably sounds infinitely more flirty than he's really intending, but he can roll with that anyhow.] Could always show you the ropes if you're int'rested.

[Fortunately, Azusa is oblivious to such things...or she chooses to ignore them. It's hard to tell sometimes.]

I wouldn't mind that at all. It'd be fun to play a game with everyone, I think~.

[Well, either way, it's probably better for them both that she's not reacting in the slightest. Gambit gives a low laugh.]

My thoughts exactly. We get enough people, might even get a tournament goin'. In the meantime, though, guess I gotta start some lessons.

What kind of things do you need to learn before playing? Let's see...you have to dunk the ball, right...?

[She couldn't do that, but she doesn't know very much about sports, so.]

You don't have to, but it's a good way of showin' off. [Which is why he does it, but that is beyond the point.] Mainly, you jus' gotta get the ball through the basket. Ain't too hard once you know the right form for it.

You throw it, right? And you have to drool the ball, too?

[There's just the slightest hesitation before he's laughing under his breath.]

Dribble, petite. Dribble the ball. But you were pretty close.

Goodness, that sounds much better, too. I wonder where they picked the word for it, though...? I'll have to try learning how to dribble a ball.

Not too sure 'bout where the word came from, but it ain't too hard to learn. You'll prob'ly pick it up quicker'n you'd t'ink.

Should I start practicing on my own, then...? It can't be too difficult to find a basketball, right?

Non. Pretty easy to find 'em. Tell you what, I can bring you one an' show you how to dribble, then you can practice if you want.

Ah, could you really...? That would be amazing, but I don't want to be a bother.

Ain't no bother, petite. Gonna be headin' into town later anyhow. Anywhere I should drop it off?

You could always bring it to the Brigade Clubhouse. That's where I spend most of my afternoons. Would that be a problem?
