[leaporfall]

[Maybe the tablet screen lessens the impact.]

I...don't know what you just said. [Except that it sounded Orlesian.]

Yes, that would be the lights. I'd advise finding shelter before exploring; much of the residential area is empty and open to claim.

My apologies. Dat means "Very good, my dear." Don't mean no offense by it, promise.

[He looks off toward the city.]

Well, ain't dat just convenient.

[wunderbarbamf]

[He's only met that face a few times and it isn't enough to say that he knows the man. A name is all he has to be honest. But Kurt is still shocked to see another from home being brought here. He replies to him with a slight frown.]

I guess you're in luck, there's quite a few of us here with intelligence.

[playsforkeeps]

Well, if it ain't Kurt. How you doin', homme?

[wunderbarbamf]

[The frown fades and he relaxes some and finds himself smiling.]

Good thank you, and you mein freund?

[playsforkeeps]

Dis place ain't got much of a view, non? So, I been better.

[A pause as he bends to pick up the tablet.]

[godlessblossom]

[A young woman's face appears on screen and she is silent at first, looking at him as if trying to figure something out. Soon she does speak.]

You may want to define 'intelligent'. For the most part the answer is yes. You are in the Underworld now and, if you have yet to encounter any monsters, you will soon. Welcome.

Well, that ain't nothin' Gambit can't handle, petit.

[He eyes flick over his shoulder then back to the feed.]

De Underworld, eh?

[godlessblossom]

Yes, the Underworld.

[playsforkeeps]

You'd t'ink de skeleton man be a dead give away.

[And yes he does smile at that pun.]

Oui, de name's Gambit. What's yours, petit?

[bluesteelbitch]

Who would want to jump a swamp rat like you?

[playsforkeeps]

[You see this smile. He's glad to see you, Raven.]

Bonjour, Mamma Mistique. We gotta quit meetin' like dis, chere. People gonna start talkin'.

[Video]

[bluesteelbitch]

[...what.

This is. What is he playing at?]

Since when am I "Mamma"?

...you're not with Rogue still, are you...?

[DID THEY GET MARRIED!? WHAT THE HELL!? IS HER LIFE OVER??]

[Video]

[playsforkeeps]

Now, I ain't never been one to kiss and tell, Mamma.

[That shit-eating grin. How he knows she loathes it.]

[nothumdrumvee]

[Has a troll, Remy.]

...is that even English?

[Video]

[playsforkeeps]

[Wait...what?]

...I t'ink I know you, homme. [Not that he's going to hint how he knows you.] Do I owe you money?

[Video]

[nothumdrumvee]

Everyone and their dog knows me, sweetheart, you'll have to be a little more specific.
