Bringing him to thegames at some point in the future

[rat_des_marais]

Ya sure 'bout dis, chere?

[Remy's not stupid. Not by a long shot. He knows about Panem and these games. He already knows about the Gamemakers and the audience before he even discovers information on them. He's been through this ringer before. Maybe not a fight to the death sort of thing, but... totalitarian oppression? Oh yeah.]

[He's not adverse to the idea of going to this place. He just wants to make sure this is the right thing. Once he's in it, he's not going to want to leave until the job is done.]

[He chews the inside of his lip for a moment.] All right. If ya sure, but I ain't gonna be leavin' there no time soon, no. Not like in Nautilus. This is either happenin' or it ain't. But if ya sure, den send me on my way. This is one time where ol' Gambit might jus' listen to ya.

[Silence for a moment...]

Wha- Well, what da hell ya draggin' me around fer if dey ain't even lettin' people in yet. I ain't gonna be one o' them stylin' people if that's what ya thinkin'. Ya jus' gonna have ta wait, petite.

Most people seem to find it strange to want to go there.

[rat_des_marais]

Well, I don't wanna. My mun wants to. If I'm gonna go over there, though, I wanna be prepared for it.

[He wants to help, small blue haired girl.]

[leavewiththegame]

Have you been in a game like that before?

[rat_des_marais]

Ya mean da fight to da death kind?

You could say that...

[leavewiththegame]

You have? [There's some excitement in her voice.] Are you- a game sprite, too? Or any sort of sprite?

[rat_des_marais]

[He shakes his head.]

Naw, nuttin' like tha'. Sorry, petite. [She looked really excited about that, too.] Dey call me a mutant where I'm from.

[leavewiththegame]

Oh. I have not seen any sprites here other than the ones I know from Mainframe, and there are no sprites at all in the arena. It is lonely. Even more than game-jumping.

What is your experience with death games? And what is a "mutant"?

[rat_des_marais]

[Hmm. Does he even want to touch the first question?]

A mutant's someone dat's... evolved. We got a thing called da X-gene. Gives some of his powers and makes us look different. [He holds an black and red eye open with two fingers to the girl. He doesn't want to scare her, but she doesn't look like the scared type.] See?

[strikingblue]

[A chuckle from a nearby shadow with eyes.]

You try to sveet talk your mun into your vay?

[rat_des_marais]

[He looks... familiar, but not.]

I don' care one or da other. If she bring me there, then I'm gonna help. If not, well, it ain't my problem then, is it?

I just wanna be sure 'bout this 'fore divin' in.

[strikingblue]

[gasp, how could you forget your old pal Nightcrawler? ah well, this place was pretty confusing with who's whom.]

I am sure your mun, she feel dhe same vay.

[rat_des_marais]

I think so. She already have a woman over there, so she at least sure 'bout da place.

[... You do remind him of that blue guy, though.] What's yer name, mon ami? Ya look like someone I met. [Not many blue people around, mutant or no.]

[strikingblue]

[He hops out of the shadows, giving Remy a curious look with his yellow eyes.]

I am Kurt Vagner...but in dhe Munich Circus, I vhas known as dhe Incredible Nightcrawler! [He actually sounds proud of that fact, standing straighter]

i'm loving this way too much XD

[rat_des_marais]

[Remy blinks. The circus? Well, things are different around here.]

We met before. [He smiles and nods.] Ya stayed at a monastery and damn near saved my life. You were different back den, though but... that's this place fer ya. Least dey still call ya Nightcrawler 'round here.

glad to accomodate :)

[strikingblue]

[Kurt grins, his fangs showing.] Dhis place, it has folks from all ovar. Und you, dhey call Gambit, ja? Because you play around vith cards. [Exploding cards, that is.]

[rat_des_marais]

[He gives an exaggerated bow.] Dat me. How ya got ta be so lucky as ta guess dat one?

[Friend or foe, dude?]

[strikingblue]

[Kurt's smile fades to worry.]

You are an X-man...like me? Vhe vork together for dhe Professor. Is dhis not so vhere you are from?

[rat_des_marais]

[He could be telling the truth or he could be lying. Didn't seem like he was, though... Wasn't like he could do much about it either way.]

Naw, tha's right. I'm an X-Man where I'm from. Glad you on da force, too, where you at. Always good ta have someone with your skills, mon ami.

[strikingblue]

[He grins in relief, at least that was the same. He really didn't want to be an enemy to his friends.]

Oh gut. Dhat is gut. [His tail flicks back and forth, Kurt looking smug.] Oh ja, you vould all be lost vithout me.

[rat_des_marais]

I dun know 'bout dat. Ol' Gambit's been known to materialize behind walls, too, ya know.
