[ She's just going to plop down right next to Remy and eye that deck of cards. It's been a while since she's had any real entertainment that wasn't getting wasted and punching people with Kaine and tonight's been dull, so why not? ]

So what are the odds I'm gonna get my credits cheated out of my pocket if I express interest in that deck of cards?

[playsforkeeps]

[He looks up from his whiskey, a devilish smile spreading across his lips.]

Color Gambit insulted, Buzzkill. Dis [Indicating the deck he's been idly shuffling one-handed] is my special deck. She don't get played. [He reaches into his coat and pulls out a deck still wrapped in cellophane] Dis be de deck yo' lookin' for.

[hellodeadpeople]

Buzzkill? [ A snort. ] First time I heard that one.

[ Eyebrow quirk and your deck swapping. ] Ooh, special deck. What's so special about it?

[playsforkeeps]

[He leaned back, fanning the deck across the table face down, then flicked a wrist, sending the cards flipping over to reveal themselves. If she counts, she'll notice the deck is about 10 cards short. Then he leans back, folding his hands behind his head.]

Mo' dangerous dan I look, remember? To Gambit, anything be a weapon. Even innocent little cards.

[hellodeadpeople]

[ She doesn't count them, but she notices it looks a little slim. ]

What did we say about talking in the third person? [ But its cool, this will probably just be one of those things she has to accept about him. If anything it'll make him actually stick in her head - dude who talks weird, if the accent didn't accomplish that already. ] You are just one weird quirk layered right on top of another weird quirk, aren't you? If you start trying to choke me with a drink coaster this acquaintanceship is over.

So what's the game of choice, Gambit-who-wields-lethal-casino-paraphernalia?

[playsforkeeps]

Gambit ain't one for followin' rules, chere, an' you kept talkin'. What's a homme t' think, eh?

[He chuckles and shakes his head briefly.] Nothin' dat obvious. Promise.

De game's yo' choice, Buzzkill.

RP, STOP BEING ADDICTING, I NEED TO SLEEP D8

[hellodeadpeople]

What's a what to think?

[ Have some glaring. ] Stealthy assault will get you no less blacklisted. That's assuming I don't go for smearing your face across the closest wall first.

What the fuck is up with people coming in trying to steal the condescending nicknames thing? Seriously? Whatever. What's a game that isn't completely boring with just two people?

REMY IS JUST THAT AMAZING.

[playsforkeeps]

Homme...a guy. Means "man".

Trust me, mon chere, it ain't gonna be stealthy, that is if ya find out. Maybe you try to guess.

I reckon I just came dat way, Buzzkill, and dat, mon ami, is what I asked you. What's yo' pleasure.

THE POWER OF CAJUN COMPELS ME

[hellodeadpeople]

I don't care enough to guess. Like I said before, we'll probably all end up seeing your secret powers eventually.

That is the lamest nickname I have ever gotten. I just want you to know that, pal. [ A sigh. Hmm... a two player game. ] Gin? Not the most exciting thing, but it's better than solitaire. Poker and Blackjack aren't really much of a challenge with just two hands.

[playsforkeeps]

Rummy? Yo' serious? [He laughs.] Better dan my choice. I was gonna suggest Go Fish. [But that jovial laugh says he's kidding.]

It's one of dose, what dey call 'em, compound words. Buzz-cut an' Killjoy.

[hellodeadpeople]

[ You actually get a laugh out of her ] I happen to be the Normandy crew Go Fish champion, so watch yourself.

Yeah, very clever, you want a gold star or something?

[playsforkeeps]

I reckon I better watch myself den, non?

Ha! I ain't never won no gold star before, chere. If I get one, where you puttin' it?

[hellodeadpeople]

You better.

Over your mouth. So maybe it'll filter out some of that crazy moon speak.

[playsforkeeps]

[He grinned broadly.] Now yo' just playin' hard to get.
