006 - audio

[tactilelearner]

[Serenes did her good. The absolute peace and quiet in her mind, well, that went away. But the rest perked Rogue up a bit. Enough that she can, at least, address her fellow kidnap victims about something fairly insignificant.]

So, we're from a lot of different worlds, right? That's what I've noticed at least.

That's got me curious.

What're the "milestone" birthdays where y'all are from?

[This has nothing to do with her own upcoming birthday. Nope. Or with using a fairly benign topic to announce her presence to certain people.]

Like. Where I'm from--

You've got sixteen, which means you can drive.
Eighteen's a big deal, even though, y'know, not much y' really get. I mean, buyin' cigarettes an' votin', but that ain' really a big deal.
Then there's twenty-one, legal drinkin' age.

Anybody else got big ones? 'M just curious 'bout the differences in worlds, y'know?

[For the Spades, she's around. Keeping busy, paying close attention to how to work the sails and everything else. The same pep that was in her step on Serenes is gone, but she's also not completely skulking about like she was after Stela and before that.]

[tactilelearner]

Sure is. Travelin' on my crew, too.

[Oh so sweet and innocent.]

voice

[freeadvice]

Well you must be havin' loads of fun with dat pointy ray of sunshine, chere.

[He knows a Southern girl's tricks missy.]

voice

[tactilelearner]

Oh, I've been havin' lots of fun.

[Sarcasm? What's that? Rogue's favorite thing? Oh, yeah.

But she's not getting into that with him. Stela isn't on her list of "things to tell Gambit about."]

voice

[freeadvice]

Yeah, you sound like you're rollin' in it.

[Sarcasm against sarcasm does not make it not-sarcasm, Remy.]

So. You gon' tell me what ship you're on or make me try and find out myself?

[This is going on the list of: "Unintentionally creepy things Remy says and does"]

voice

[tactilelearner]

Ain' gonna tell you a damn thing, Gambit.

[Still not forgiven for the kidnapping. And you're not helping yourself sound not creepy, Remy.]

voice

[freeadvice]

So I'll come visit ya, then?

[He's loving this.]

voice

[tactilelearner]

Sure, sugah.

[All Southern charm there. Well, Southern-Belle-With-A-Knife-Behind-Her-Back-Waiting-To-Stab-You charm.]

You jus' drop on by, an' I'll have some sweet tea all ready for ya.

[With strychnine in it, her tone promises.]

voice

[freeadvice]

[...Well, he knows that tone of voice all too well. Fortunately, he can respond in kind without fear of actually being stabbed.]

Don' be makin' promises you ain' gon' keep, cherie.

voice

[tactilelearner]

You ain' half as slick as you think you are.

voice

[freeadvice]

Uhuh.

[He sounds sooo convinced.]
