Look, Gambit's gone now. He's been gone for awhile.

So do me and yourself a favor and let me go too. There's no real point in keepin' me there.

That guy's a skeezebag anyway.

[Little brothers just aren't helpful. Especially when they're feeling vaguely protective about creepy too-old dudes who totally work for the bad guys.]

[dontmesswith]

[As nice as it to see Kurt, he's not helping.

She lets out a huff.]

Drop it, Kurt. I don't want to talk about it.

[thefuzzyguy]

[Fine. He'll deal with that.]

Okay. We can talk about something else. How about...

[Curses, it's hard to cheer some people up.]

Puppies?

[Everyone likes puppies.]

[dontmesswith]

...Puppies..

[...Why did he have to pick that subject?]

You're not gettin' a puppy, are you?

[thefuzzyguy]

[Because... puppies are great.]

Nein. I mean, it'd be awesome, but where I am, Toad has a pet monster, und it probably wouldn't be a good idea. Though I guess it hasn't eaten his fake girlfriend's dog, so maybe.

[Great, you're giving him ideas.]

idk, goth girls unite?

[vanessasaryd]

Boyfriend? [She'd assume that's who this Gambit person was.]

oh yeah! unite and read poetry.

[dontmesswith]

Uh, no. Far from it.

[They were something, what that something was, she isn't sure. But she's never going to say that out loud.]

hang out in front of the mall in a black trench coat...

[vanessasaryd]

[Vanessa gets the feeling that was a sore subject. So she won't go there.]

Don't get one. Believe me, they are not worth it, no matter what anyone else says.

and just be moody and mysterious.

[dontmesswith]

Wasn't plannin' on it.

[The whole not being able to touch someone makes it hard to have a boyfriend.]

[notscaredofme]

Boy troubles?

[dontmesswith]

[...Who is this chick?]

No.

[notscaredofme]

Sounds like it if you're willing to leave over him.

[dontmesswith]

I'm not leavin' over him. Why I want to leave or stay is none of your business.

Who the heck are ya anyway?

[ihearyouthink]

[Does this mean Charles is Rogue's adopted uncle? :3]

Don't sell yourself short. If your mun has you here, she must have faith in your abilities.

[dontmesswith]

[...Yes. A THOUSAND TIMES YES.]

[But who is this guy?]

It's not about my abilities. It's about my own choice.

[ihearyouthink]

[That's definitely a new spin on things.]

I see. And you would rather choose to disappear?

[dontmesswith]

[Yes it is, but it doesn't explain why this random guy is taking an interest in her.]

I'd rather choose to not do anything and be stuck somewhere I don't want ta be.

Why are you askin'? It's not your business.

[exmom]

How pitiful to see you give up so easily, Rogue.

[AH YES. MOMMY DEAREST.]

[dontmesswith]

[Lethal. GLARE.]

I know right? It runs in the family. I give up on something.

You give me up and lie ta me my whole life. [Sarcasm, gotta love it.]

[exmom]

[GOOOSH CONFLICTING EMOTIONS she goes through a range of them before settling into

vague...sadness slash anger who knows with this woman.]

I lied to protect you, Rogue. You are far too important to me to have given you up.

[wow A+ Mystique you really know how to pull on the heartstrings.]

But why Gambit? Why should he matter to you?

[dontmesswith]

[OH GDMIT NO! SHE WILL NOT FALL FOR THE TUG OF HEARTSTRINGS. NO!

Nor will she raise her hand at her and try to punch her in the face.]

Yet in the end you did. You wanted ta turn me into something else! You wanted me to be your solider!

[More glares.]

That's none of your business!

[kittysdragon]

Rogue? Why are yeh 'one all young an' gothy? [It's that dreaded time travel or alternate reality thing again, Lockheed knows all about it.]

[dontmesswith]

[She'll stare at the dragon, wondering how it can talk and know her name.

Seriously, what the hell?]

Why are you talkin' ta me?

[kittysdragon]

'ause Heed can talk? Duh. 'uess yeh from 'nother universe of X-Men huh? Me Lockheed. Know 'nother 'ou back 'ome.

[dontmesswith]

...

[Of course he knows her from another universe, of course. That all makes sense!

Except, it doesn't.]

Riighhtt.

And what would any of the X-Men be doin' with a talkin' dragon?
