Well, I am rather curious. How many of you come from a world where people are oppressed? An' what kinda things do the oppressed have t'go through? An' hell, what side do you find yourselves on? Are you th'...ruling class or those under foot, so to speak? An' finally, why d'you reckon you're on that end of things?

That's unusually deep, coming from you.

[audio]

[cajuncardtrick]

You got me thinkin', mon ami. I know where th' two of us stand, but not everyone else. It's a nice thing t'know where people stand on things like that.

[daedalus_dreams]

Asking people if they were oppressed isn't exactly the way to make new friends, Remy.

[He seems an odd mix of exasperated and annoyed.]

[audio]

[cajuncardtrick]

You're not exactly a people person,, Warren. I'd not expect you t'unnerstan'. People enjoy camaraderie, even when it's of the grimmest kind.

[audio]

[daedalus_dreams]

I'm more of a 'people person' than you are, Remy. That sort of thing seems like more of something you would ask when the other person is drunk.

[audio]

[cajuncardtrick]

That's just how I make friends, actually. Ain't nothin' like a drink t'break the ice. An' I've had drinks with an' gotten t'know quite a few people here. So they'll be more...inclined t'answer my questions...if what you say is true at all.

I can't say I'm a fan- but do what you will for now.

[He continues, glumly.] I can't very well stop you at the moment. Just be careful of who you piss off- not everyone has my temperament.

[audio]

[cajuncardtrick]

As if you're easy t'get along with or something. I ain't worried about makin' anyone mad at me. I'm just about th' most powerful person here, I reckon. On top of that, you got my dashin' good looks an' irresistible charm, no?

[audio]

[daedalus_dreams]

I can't say I've noticed, no.

[audio]

[cajuncardtrick]

[He laughs heartily.]

Regardless, I got no enemies here, an' no wories of makin' any. You, my frien', need t'loosen up.

[audio]

[daedalus_dreams]

I'm perfectly fine. You should be a bit more reserved.

[audio]

[cajuncardtrick]

Now, you know I can't do that, mon ami. Remy LeBeau and reserved are polar opposites.

[audio]

[daedalus_dreams]

Whatever. Don't come running to me for damage control when everything blows up in your face.

[audio]

[cajuncardtrick]

Like you'd know how t'handle it, anyway, right? Besides, the only things that'll be blowin' up are my cards. I don't got nothin' t'worry about.

[audio]

[daedalus_dreams]

Remy, I've done more damage control in a week than you have in a lifetime.

[His exposure as a mutant, the deadline drop of his company as a result, his generous donations toward mutant causes exposed- Warren really isn't a stranger to that sort of thing.]

[audio]

[cajuncardtrick]

That's why I do things that I'm sure won't need any control. I'm very confident in what I do, mon ami.

[He pauses briefly.]

By the way, Warren...I was wonderin' about your monetary situation here. How're you fairing?
