9th Card Dealt [Action/Voice]

[kineticcajun]

[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...]

[Voice]

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.

[She. Probably shouldn't be talking to him. But.]

Basketball, huh?

[redjacketthief]

A year, huh? That's...a hard thing to imagine. [Seeing as he was a cycle away from that mark himself.]

How did you manage to not blow the village up out of boredom?

[snikting]

[Guess what Gambit. GUESS WHAT.

That last basketball game you were playing? Logan saw it. Why did he see it? Because all the chambers were filled up. And he had to wait. He doesn't like waiting.

So when Gambit emerges, there's a typically grumpy Logan waiting outside.]

Finished yet? Or do you have more baskets to blow up?

[heartisabattleground]

Not sure I can help making one of those but I'll try and do what I can! But I'm always up for playing a game.

[Voice]

[mythmaker]

Goodness, I don't have a power like that, but I've never played before...is it fun?

[calmbeforethe]

[Oh, Ororo knows a thing or two about basketball! That's the one with the ball... and the baskets... Ah. Hm.]

My nephew Evan used to play a little bit of basketball. I hadn't known you were fond of it yourself.

[dickmoves]

I probably know a guy who could just wish for a halfway decent basketball court.

[She'd seen his post up on the journals earlier in the day, but hadn't been able to get back to it just yet. Instead she packs up a small basket of beignets, a few bottles of beer, and a handful of cotton kerchiefs for Oliver before knocking on Gambit's apartment door. Not worth a large celebration, but a short discussion over sweets wouldn't be unwarranted.]
