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.]

[dontmesswith]

[Kurt is going to get a very confused look right now.

So Toad has a pet monster and a fake girlfriend...who has a dog.]

...Have you lost your mind?

[thefuzzyguy]

Did I ever know where it is?

[His idiomatic English is improving.]

But really. It's some kind of prehistoric... I don't remember what it's called. It's name is Thing One. I might have kind of a weakness for weird fuzzy things, but it's pretty awesome.

[dontmesswith]

Haha. [A very dry, sarcastic laugh.]

Thing One? ..Kurt, are you in some kind of messed up Dr. Seuss world? [Because having it be named 'Thing One' she's expecting a 'Thing Two' to pop up out of nowhere.

What in the world has he gotten into?]

[thefuzzyguy]

[Thing Two ran away while they were lost in time for a couple weeks.]

Ja. I mean, nein, nothing to do with the world. What I mean is I named them. My parents had me read Dr Seuss to work on my English.

[Which explained a few things.]

I didn't really mean to, but it stuck.

Gdmit wrong account

[dontmesswith]

[...Right..]

You named your pet Thing One. [Sorry, she can't get over this.]

Well..as long as you and your pet are happy with it...[Shrugs.]

No worries, happens to us all

[thefuzzyguy]

It's Toad's pet, really. Though I guess since it lives in the garage und eats table scraps, it's kind of everyone's.

/weeps

[dontmesswith]

Why are you even around Toad ta begin with? [Better yet, how did he get a pet monster?]

idk, goth girls unite?

[vanessasaryd]

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

[thefuzzyguy]

Um, we kind of have the mutant house? Or at least, the mutants from our timeline house. Quicksilver's there too.

[Sigh.]

So that's as much fun as you'd expect.

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.]

[dontmesswith]

So the Brotherhood and X-Men are living under one roof. [Why does that sound like the beginnings of a bad joke?]

Yeah, considerin' I used ta live with Toad and Quicksilver. I don't envy ya.

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.]

yes, AND commiserate on having evil parents

[vanessasaryd]

[That was all kinds of awkward, Vanessa wouldn't wish that on anyone.]

Nice boots.

[They could talk clothes. Vanessa definitely liked the look Rogue had put together.]

[thefuzzyguy]

...Just me, actually. The X-man.

[It's very sad.]

At least Pietro's neat. I have to threaten Todd with kitchen implements to make him pick up socks.

[Yeah, first name terms.]

yeess

[dontmesswith]

[Yeah, Rogue is really rough around the edges when it comes to new people.]

...Thanks. [And this is the part where she should give a compliment back, right?]

Nice outfit. [Isn't that something Kitty would say?]

[dontmesswith]

Oh...Sorry.

[Yeah, it is. Kurt shouldn't have to put up with those two.

...He knows them by first names. This is NOT a good sign.]

If you want to threaten Toad, use soap and plenty of water.

[vanessasaryd]

Thanks. There's this place called Whatever, its in downtown Danville... [There was only one goth store in Danville.]

[thefuzzyguy]

[Going slightly native? Yeah, maybe. Hopefully he's having a bit of a good influence on them?]

Makes a better ambush than a threat. Then it actually helps a little. He's fast.

[dontmesswith]

[Or they're having a horrible influence on him. Hopefully that isn't the case.]

He can be fast when he wants to be.

But other than that, you ok?
