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?

[A brief pause, as if in

That's unusually deep, coming from you.

[daedalus_dreams]

[He bristles.]

If you're thinking of robbing me, forget about it. Even if you're not, that's a rude question.

[audio]

[cajuncardtrick]

Hah! Nothin' of the sort. I jus' know you have a tendency t' eat...a lot. An' I'd imagine on th' short budget we're given, you'd be pretty pressed for cash, no?

I'm getting a job as soon as I can- other than that... [There's a slight pause, before he rolls his eyes with a sigh.] You've got a point, alright? I'm dealing with it, it's fine.

[cajuncardtrick]

You sure, Warren? I got some spare cash an' I'm yearnin' t'cook somethin' up. I've cooked for y'all before, haven't I?

Spiced with the very rare arsenic flavor, I'm sure.

[Another chuckle.]

I never poisoned anyone in my life, mon ami! An' I ain't got nothin' against you!

[daedalus_dreams]

[Have an upbeat, mockingly happy voice.]

Just like we were really teammates, yeah?

[audio] [screened || unhackable]

[cajuncardtrick]

Don' gimme that shit, eh. I never had nothin' against anyone in that mansion. Never had some kinda vendetta or whatevah.

[audio] [screened || unhackable]

[daedalus_dreams]

Yeah, well you earned a hell of a lot against you. We're not best friends, I don't need you to babysit me, you're not going to get on my good side by making sure I look both ways for crossing the street.

[Indignantly.]

I am just makin' sure you're not goin' an' gettin' killed. Somethin' wrong with that? Or would you rather let your wings bleed t'death or starve, alone in your apartment?

[daedalus_dreams]

You're not allowed to give a damn after betraying us for money. Can't trust a mercenary, Gambit. You'd kill me for a dime, wouldn't you?

[audio] [screened || unhackable]

[cajuncardtrick]

Now--
[He hesitates to maintain self control. When he continues speaking, he sounds shaky.]

What, then? You honestly think I'd betray all y'all nice an' generous folks who took me in an' showed me what a family was, all for some coin? You are saaaaadly mistaken, mon ami. My betrayal was the more bitter end of bitter-sweet. Sinister had something I wanted--needed. You wouldn't understand. You're just some stuck-up rich kid. Never had to make sacrifices in your life.

[daedalus_dreams]

[There's a pause, and he almost wants to sympathize, before his left wing throbs, and the pain sends anger coursing down his spine.]

Sacrifice? Who's completely incapacitated right now? Who's mutation destroyed the reputation of everything his father worked for? You don't know anything about that word, Gambit.

[audio] [screened || unhackable]

[cajuncardtrick]

So because you can't fly, an' your daddy's work is sufferin', that means you know all there is to know about sacrifice, no? How about dis? Watchin' your friends fight eachother--kill eachother--for something that you need?

[daedalus_dreams]

I-

[He sputters for a moment. When he speaks again, it's not as livid, slightly calmer.]

You can't just- make other people fight for you. Everyone got hurt- some people died. People I care about. So what if you feel bad? You still did it.
