Comments

Laura Kinney

[girlverine]

A. On the Red Fish

[Laura still wasn't terribly social, even after a few weeks on the ship. She kept to herself, in her room or in the security room, or sometimes down in the cargo hold doing her training.]

[Also, sometimes, people might feel like they're being watched. Though there wasn't anyone around when they looked. Or just the flash of someone slipping out of the doorway or around the far end of the hall. Laura was being a snoop again oops.]

B. Exploring the Moon: Indoors

[The teen didn't know what to make of being on another planet. It was something of an X-men rite of passage, but not one she had ever dealt with. Other dimensions? Sure. Hell even. But a planet, and one as clearly ruined as this one...]

[It wasn't what she had expected. So she was exploring, poking around watching people, stores, whatever caught her attention. Sometimes following other fleet members when she noticed them. But mostly just trying to understand this new place they were in.]

C. Outside on the moon

[First detail: She wasn't bothering with a mask. She had one clipped to her belt, but it irritated her face, so it was left off for now, letting her healing factor handle the grossness in the air.]

[Early on she could be found staying near the city, frowning at the pollution because it was playing havoc with her sense of smell, and she navigated by that more than she would admit. Still, she was sure she would adapt to it, once she stopped wanting to cough every time she took a deep breath...]

[Other times she could be found near the atmospheric generators that had caused this whole mess. She wasn't technically minded, but that didn't mean she didn't want to investigate some. Maybe keep an eye on the smarter people who could actually fix something...]

Wildcard

[Got somewhere else for Laura to be? Hit me up, we can make it work!]

[ rather than some sort of random run-in down on the sickly moon, kate makes a point to reach out to laura. the message arrives on a late afternoon. ]

Hey. How do you feel about museums?

[girlverine]

They can be interesting.

[ladybro]

Humor me, maybe, and come see the sights.

[ she has a few questions. ]

Ok.

[ladybro]

There's a little art gallery featuring trippy geometric prints. Meet me there?

[girlverine]

Yes.

I will be there shortly.

[Sam is actually very tuned in to the sensation of being watched. He was woefully... terrible at welcoming the newer people, but then, he's had a hell of a month. You know, nothing major. Just Lucifer and possession and maybe being dead and a potential second Apocalypse -- among other concerns. Like his friend being in danger. His brother, too. At any rate, when he's making some tea and getting ready to settle down at the table in the kitchen, he notices her.

Because that's part of what his job entailed. Noticing people like her.

He smiles a bit, raising his eyebrows at the... empty hall.]

... Laura, right?

[/sips tea]

[girlverine]

[Laura hesitated, already moving into another room, her instincts to not be spotted harder to ignore than she would have liked. But he had clearly noticed her, and knew who she was. Hrm. So after a moment she stepped back into view and nodded once.]

Yes.

[collegedropout]

[Sam gives her a friendly little smile before nodding toward the area around him.]

Good to see my instincts aren't totally dead in the water.

[Because wow, it'd be embarrassing. But he sits down, blowing on his tea. He's American, and more comfortable in his little spit of Kansas homeland, so he's used to tea being iced mostly — but he indulges well enough sometimes in brewed, hot cups of it from time to time. Especially since arriving in other universes. Go figure.]

Just checking out the network before I do some snooping around this moon.

You can come in, if you want. I'm guessing you're still kind of wary about -- all this.

[He motions to the ship, wincing. Because yeah, he gets it.]

... Or, I mean. Just us. But I get that, too.

[girlverine]

[After a moment she steps further into the kitchen, though she remains near the doorway...some habits were hard to break.]

I am adjusting.

[It was a lie, but an old one. A way to make the people around her think she was like them, was getting used to living like...a person. She wanted to believe it was true, even if she knew it wasn't.]

You are all fine.

[IE: She hasn't found anyone she thinks is a threat yet.]

[collegedropout]

[He laughs softly.]

I've never been described as being fine, but I think that's a fair assessment.

New to space?

[He's trying to get to know her, really. Better to get use to living together and being teammates, and whatnot; he gives her his attention more fully, leaving aside his tea and comm device.]

[girlverine]

Yes.

[If he wasn't a threat, he was fine. She looked around the room again.]

It is not what I expected.

C

[cajunspice]

[Remy didn't really have too many plans to move that far out of the city boundaries, not keen on going hiking while being stuck behind a mask, knowing all too well how hot it got wearing them on jobs and really not enjoying having to breath through one.

Though it was better than what he spotted Laura doing, recognizing the semi familiar face from his time in Luceti, even if they never really talked. Speaking loud enough to be heard through the mask, Remy gave a nod towards her own, a joking tone in his voice.] Ya know, those normally do the job better when they over ya face, not on ya hip.

[girlverine]

[She turned at the voice, so familiar but...not. For a moment her expression falls, narrow and irritated, before it's back to her usual calmness. This wasn't Gambit. Not her Gambit. She knew it, and yet...hrm.]

I am fine. My body is handling the toxins.

[cajunspice]

Don't doubt that, [He knew enough to know what Laura's powers were, a girl Wolverine as he had put it once, and which Rogue had told him off for calling her.] But why put the extra strain on it, hein?

Then again 'm just some stranger who be talkin' too much. Name's Remy. [It was added as he wasn't sure if she would know him, either from Luceti or whatever version of the X-Men she was from.]

[girlverine]

I know. [She looked away again, out at the desolate scenery, before turning back to him.]

You are Gambit. But not the gambit I know.

[A beat, and then she touched the mask at her hip.]

It itches.

[At least she had a reason for not wearing it.]

[cajunspice]

[There was a pause as Remy watched her reaction to this all, that kind of stillness around her as she said that.] Ah, I see.

Well, [There was a need to try and reassure her a bit with that, to offer something.] May not be him but from what I heard from the others 'm as annoyin' as him, so ya can't get away from that. [His attention then turned to the mask as the conversation was drawn back to that.] Ah yeah, know what ya mean, [He tugging at the side of his own mask.] 'm not a fan of them m'self.

[girlverine]

It does not matter.

[Whether she was referring to him not being the right Gambit or her mask being itchy, who could say? Her gaze shifted from him back out to the view again.]

Did you need something?

[touchofrogue]

[Rogue's gas mask is hanging loosely around her neck. She was just exiting a tattoo parlor, shaking her head and muttering a little as she turned in the indoor mall to see if she could find another one.] --many questions -- oh!

[She pauses when she sees Laura, her eyes a little wide. This was not the Laura from Luceti, and she'd missed her chance to greet her earlier, so. Awkward.] Um, hi.

[girlverine]

[Laura had smelled Rogue before she had seen her, which was what prevented them from bumping into each other, at least. She had hesitated a step before passing the door, to see if she was right. It was Rogue but it was not. She'd been told the other girl was there, and yet.]

...Hi.

[touchofrogue]

Laura, right? [She turned to address her head on.] Sorry I missed the official X-Men welcome party, sometimes it takes me too long ta check my communicator. [And that was the simple truth.]

[girlverine]

Yes.

[She shook her head.]

It is fine. You are...Rogue.

[But not the Rogue she knows.]

[touchofrogue]

Got it in one. [A flicker of a smile, and deliberately disarming herself by putting her hands in her pockets.] Where ya headed to?

[girlverine]

[Laura recognized the gesture, though the fact that the girl thought it was necessary was a curiosity. Hm.]

I am not going anywhere specific. I am just...exploring.
