[Action] Deuce of Clubs

Nov 20, 2010 15:19

[After her somewhat unorthodox introduction to Luceti, Rogue doesn't need a map or directions to get to get around town. What she does need are some clothes that fit. She's got Vash's boots and belt wrapped around her waist twice to keep his pants on - the shirt is just as baggy, but you can't see it over the buttoned up coat of one Nicholas D. ( Read more... )

just a southern girl, *kurt, snow ;_;, snow!!!, welcome to luceti, *xander harris, donuts are my new comfort food?, these clothes don't fit, doesn't walk like a new feather, out and about, memory dumps are weird, *ororo

[Action--after Rogue gets her clothes back] steadfastest November 20 2010, 21:24:07 UTC

[Xander's out in the snow, disheveled and impatient to find any signs of Willow's return. Except when he sees Rogue, he stops---and stares. Because is it just him, or did this girl look REALLY familiar?]

[Action--what a decent sort you are to wait til a girl's presentable] touchofrogue November 20 2010, 21:33:46 UTC

[Rogue is just exiting the clothing store, trying to decide where to go next. She rubs her gloved hands together and glances around to see... some guy staring at her.

There's something familiar about him too- something she easily chalks up to Vash's memories. She doesn't try to pull the psyche forward to find out more, since she'd rather the whole world not know about her powers just yet and she's not the best actor. There's no sense of danger, though, and she relaxes just enough to meet his stare.] Yeah? Can I help you with something?

[The tone: snarky. The accent: drawl.]

[so decent] steadfastest November 20 2010, 21:46:52 UTC

Yeah I need help with....stuff. [It IS her. It's ROGUE. Calm down, Harris.]

[so then this is decent action?] touchofrogue November 20 2010, 21:54:36 UTC

Stuff, huh. [Why is he staring at her like that? He might not be dangerous, but he sure is weird. And why the hell did he say 'yes,' anyway. Shouldn't she be the one asking for help around here? Darnit, now she has to stick around.]

Do I look like a sign post to you? Unless it's help wiping that goofy look off your face, I don't know what you need me for.

[She pops the collar on her coat. Because she is badass like that. And also cold.]

[yes] steadfastest November 21 2010, 19:41:44 UTC

[Xander wipes the goofy look off his face totally by himself.]

NO! Uh, I meant to say that I need help...helping you. Which means, uh, do YOU need help? Because I can totally help, if you were in need of help.

[glad we've got that clear, then] touchofrogue November 22 2010, 02:02:52 UTC

[She gives him a look.]

Ya can't even untangle what you're saying, and you want to help me.

[/clarifies everything] steadfastest November 22 2010, 02:36:34 UTC

I....could buy you dinner? Uh, wait, there's no money here. I could sit with you at dinner? At a table, together? And we could talk. But not touch each other. Wait. You know what I mean, no bad touching.

No. Wait....

[...and here I thought he was a DECENT fellow] touchofrogue November 22 2010, 03:36:18 UTC

[Rogue stares at him as if he has completely lost his mind. Nothing in Vash's memories prepared her for this.]

Are you tryin' ta ask me out on a date?

[And what's with his strange emphasis on touching?]

[HE HAS A HEART OF GOLD AND A MOUTH OF MUSH] steadfastest November 22 2010, 03:37:42 UTC

Yes. How am I doing?

[I am put in mind of the Princess Bride. 'YOU SEEM A DECENT FELLOW - I hate to kill you.'] touchofrogue November 22 2010, 03:46:36 UTC

Are you out of your damn mind?

[She's flattered. And bitter. And hella confused.]

Do you always ask out random girls walking down the street? I could be a psycho for all you know.

[You seem a decent fellow; I hate to die...] steadfastest November 22 2010, 03:55:25 UTC

I...no. No, girls pretty much avoid me, mostly. But how often do I meet an actual X-man? Woman? And sometimes I have to take my chances with my old friend rejection.

[He should have taken that death thing into further consideration...] 1/2 touchofrogue November 22 2010, 04:01:52 UTC

[Rogue takes a threatening step forward.]

How do you know who I am?

touchofrogue November 22 2010, 04:02:25 UTC

Are there other X-Men here?

steadfastest November 22 2010, 04:04:02 UTC

[Xander takes a step backward.] I--I don't know. I just recognized you, is all...

touchofrogue November 22 2010, 04:15:46 UTC

[She doesn't follow him, but she does plant her hands on her hips and lean forward, her drawl becoming slightly more pronounced.]

Recognized me how.

[It's possible he knows her from the news reels... and if that's the case, it shouldn't be hard for him to say. And it also wouldn't explain why he was--

unless he just wants to get with a freak--

--asking her out.]

steadfastest November 22 2010, 04:23:47 UTC

Cool.......hair?
