How quaint. You mean to attack my identity? I'll grant it is very unique. I'm surprised you were capable of such creativity. As I said your approach is very . . . quaint. I would consider myself impressed except you failed to follow up your own statement, which means that is your limitation. Among your many, I'm sure.

Now, let's try my approach, shall we? Either one of you explain my presence here or I will start my own attacks. And I always follow them up with something concrete.

. . . And who might you be, Remy, to garner a spot on my team?

all totally true

[notinthecards]

A thief, mostly. Mercenary. Lead a murder squad for my old mentor, once or twice. Kidnapper, if you want to throw names about. And for a while, I was Death.

A mutant, if you've heard of that. I unlock the potential energy in what I touch. Been known to tell fortunes, too, if that's more useful.

Probably proudest of being a card cheat, though.

[thatboyisamonster]

I will consider it.

[notinthecards]

Just let this boy know. The offer remain open, unless it starts to look like you're likely to lose.

[thatboyisamonster]

How refreshingly honest.

[notinthecards]

Of course. I say anything else, would you really believe it?

[thatboyisamonster]

Unlikely.

[notinthecards]

Then there's not too much point in this boy lyin.

[thatboyisamonster]

[ he shrugs ]

I prefer working alone though.

[notinthecards]

No way I can make myself useful enough that you leave me out of the attack?

[thatboyisamonster]

You are mortal. Human. No matter how many powers or abilities you may possess, you have your crucial weaknesses.

[notinthecards]

Only one out of two, frere. Maybe they don't have mutants where you come from, but human is the last thing anyone let us be.

[thatboyisamonster]

I'm well aware of the predilections humanity visits upon each other.

[notinthecards]

Same genus, frere. Different species.

[thatboyisamonster]

Of course. My mistake.

[notinthecards]

You call Gambit back when you've had more time to think it over.

[thatboyisamonster]

Very well. Until then.
