driftfleet | 3rd Shuffle

Who: Remy LeBeau and you
Broadcast: Fleetwide video
Action: Wonderduck
When: 20th March

[Remy has set up his video to show him standing in the cargo area of the WonderDuck, several knee high box at his side with one open to show row after row of nearly stacked packets of different colours.]

In light of what’s happened of late with our deliveries we had to make, this does seem ill timed, but it had been something I was askin’ for, so guess I should say thank ya to whatever sponsor decided to send me a bunch of gum, [He holding up an open packet he had in hand, this one being neon blue in color with some strange letters that appeared in a font very similar to a silvery, holographic style comic sans written over it, but was nothing like any Earth style languages.] So thank ya whatever company ya be. Would had been better when I was strugglin’ to stop smokin’, but still be mighty kind of ya ‘nd I got no problem bein’ a sell-out ‘nd flashin’ it to every ‘nvisible camera that be ‘round us. [That also may had been a bad joke in another way.]

Either way, if ‘nyone actually wants some gum, ya’ll welcome to it. Know there be some fellow smokers in our midst so if ya think this will help ya quit I can certainly send some ya way. Or to ‘nyone who just wants some. Flavor wise it does seem a bit of a lottery. ‘ve gotten something that kinda tropical mix, ‘nd ‘nother that was more or less Thanksgivin’ dinner. It was a little Willy Wonka, but luckily no blueberry pie at the end of it. So try at ya own risk.

[She looks amused at that.] Did I tell you she was in the prison with me? [She knows she told Rogue and little Kurt.] Not exactly like looking into a mirror.

Ya kiddin', really? [Remy let out a chuckle at that reveal.] Now that must had been quite a meetin'.

It was something. Pretty early in on our time there so it was the first time a second version of the same person showed up. Lucky me.

Always nice to be the guinea pig, non? [And while this Kitty seemed tough enough to survive whatever the prison was like Remy had to assume the younger, more naive girl from his world must had struggled.] Don't think 've run 'cross that yet other than bein' here, seein' two of the same person but from different worlds.

My favorite. [Unless Sinister or Dark Beast are involved.]

You met my Kurt I take it? [Is it odd she just claims Kurt Darkholme as hers now? It's an easy short hand for it.]

[Oh, the could both agree on that first name. That, that... that was a topic that was far too close to him and still hurt far too much.]

Not in person, but yeah, when he was bouncin' 'round the ship 'nd tryin' to figure out what was goin' on when he first got here. He's a real charmer.

He can be. Maybe you're just not his type, Remy. The accent can't work on everyone. [Have a playful smile.]

Lie 'nd slander cherie, lies 'nd slander. We both know that ain't true. [Remy teamed this up with one of his more well practiced and charming smiles.]

[That gets a laugh.] Oh, do we? You think you've got me charmed?

[Remy let out his own laugh.] Ahh, now I know a loaded question when I hear one, 'cause if I say oui that might 'mply ya easily manipulated, 'nd if I say non then 'mplies I don't think ya worth tryin' to charm. [He let out a 'tsk'ing sound while shaking a finger at the video to her, but smiling all the time.] I know these tricks.

Playing it safe, Gambit? Never thought I'd see the day.

Now petite, ever good gambler knows there be times ya gotta fold rather than take a risk, just all part of the game.

Plus, been 'round 'nough femmes to know never to cross certain lines or answer certain questions, like the good old 'Does my butt look big in these pants?', there no safe way of gettin' out of those type of questions.

Run away so you can live to charm another day?

Though I do have bad news about your butt in those pants...

Hey! Now I know that's not true, [Careful there Kitty, his vanity is strong and he will fight to preserve it,] I am stunnin' thank ya very much, 'nd got a great butt, pants or not. [But despite that strong flaw of taking his appearance a little too serious at times, Remy was at least taking this all in good humor and joking away with her.]

I'm glad to see your self confidence is right where I expected it. Someone else might have pointed out I can't even see your backside in the video, but not you.

Donno if bein' predictable be a good or bad thing, but I think in this case 'll take it as good, 'cause I always have so far when it comes to self belief. 'nd how do I not know ya haven't been sneakin' looks at me in the past, hein? Might be doin' so when I ain't lookin'.

You don't. [Said with a smirk.] But as far as you know we haven't hung out in person yet. [Which she wouldn't mind changing honestly.]

Clearly something we'll have to fix sometime, non? Ya a drinker as well as a smoker, or will I have to think up a bit more of a sober settin'?

I can drink. I can do a lot of things I imagine my counterpart doesn't.

[Remy's brows rose up with that comment, his grin taking on a more joking tone.] Now that's a loaded line if ever I heard one, [Teasing her a bit as she seemed like she could take it.] Tell ya what, next planet, we at least grab a drink, deal? Provided they have bars on the planet, never know, might come 'cross a dry one who don't believe in that kinda stuff.

[Too much? She definitely isn't going to break with teasing.] It's a plan. And I look forward to my generous gum shipment.

Will send some ya way later today. Ya have a good rest of ya day, petite.
