---

Gambit has posed:
It's the first official monday of summer, and how better to avoid the classwork and classroom assigned curriculum than for one of the teachers of said curriculum to throw his hands up in the air in anguish and surrender to the beautiful day.

Wearing black flip flops, basketball shorts and a white t-shirt with a faded logo for an old pizza place that was in Salem Center a while back, Remy stands next to the inflated bouncy castle with his arms crossed and looking like the official bouncer for the fun hut.

Cable has posed:
Cable steps out of the mansion and into the yard to discover the bouncy house and accoutrements. He has what appears to be a missile launcher strapped sideways to his back, along with pistols on either hip and a bandolier of grenades across his chest. Someone dancing by plants a pair of fuzzy bunny ears on top of his head and yells 'Cheer up, grumpy!' at him.

Cable is not particularly pleased.

"No wonder you all die horribly," he mutters under his breath, glaring about.

Iceman has posed:
Sliding backwards out of a window on the second or third floor comes Bobby. "Wheeew!" he exclaims as he slides down to ground level he looks around. "Hey.. Gambit whats going on!" he walks over taping him on the shoulder. "Loogan.. what is up!" he gives him the fake couple of punches not coming near him of course. He grins. "We need to talk.." he says in a lower tone, but then turns. "Caaaabel. How is the future thing Mr Grumpy? Comon lighten up a bit, I mean a future with me in it can't be that bad can it?" If someone was skipping studying then Bobby was going to be a part of it that is for sure.

He then glances at Magik and grins.. "Oh.. Pride cometh before the fall." and grins. He offers a hand to her. "Ya got to learn to enjoy these days, maybe look up from your books once in a while." he gives her a wink. "A small break couldn't hurt right? Comon... comon.. It is so much funner inside. Ya know you want to.. comon!" and shakes the hand he has offered.

Wolverine has posed:
    Maneuvering out from the garage to the backyard, Logan is currently wearing a slightly marred white t-shirt, with only a few splotches of greese from his motorcycle on it. In his mouth is one of his trademark cigars. Noticing that Remmy was already out back, Logan heads towards him slowly and cautiously.

    "Cajun. Mornin'. What's goin' on?" Logan's voice sounds a little muffled with the cigar firmly embedded between his teeth. The small cloud of cigar smoke billows out behind him as he walks. "Nice day."

Magik has posed:
    It's Summer. Why the hell did she agree to go full tilt on her courses. It's like cramming an entire semester full of classes into two dinky months. Okay, it /is/ an entire freaking semester worth of classes. This is what she gets for tyring to be a 'good' student and catch up on courses that are relevant /here/ that she missed during her decade in Limbo. STrange as it is, Demons really have no use for some of the classes required for a high school diploma. Fancy that. And today seems to be a day devoted to Literature.

    "This is the most boring, stupidest thing ever," Illyana Rasputin mutters while she flips a few pages to and fro of the book she's got her full attention to. The very astute could make out the words 'The Complete Works of William Shakespeare' though the volume number seems obscured by her thumb. Her mumbling over her reading derails into Russian and she really is focused on shredding whatever play she's reading that she kind of isn't paying attention to her surroundings.

    So it is with a mightly *BOIYOING* that signals the sorceresses face-first collision into one of the bouncy constructs set up. A very, VERY bad curse in Russian is what accompanies Illyana's landing on her ass.

Jubilee has posed:
Too. Hot. Jubilation Lee rounds the corner, reading a book. Her gaze is buried in the white pages as she holds the book open before her with one hand, and a cherry popcicle on a wooden stick in the other. She's oblivious at first, but then the bright colours catch her eye. The hand holding the book drops to her side, and honeyed brown eyes go wide. "Is--is that a bouncy castle?" She adjusts the brass goggles atop her head as her ebony curls cascade down over her shoulders. "SOMEBODY COVER ME," she says loudly, to no one in particular. "I'M. GOING. IN."

As the Feral approaches, Logan catches her eye. She's torn, but not TOO torn. There's a Logan every day. Bouncy castles come but once in a life time. Or so. She shoots a pointed look at Logan and lifts her voice mischievously. "Don't come after me. Even if you hear squealing. ESPECIALLY if you hear squealing." Then, to Remy, "Keep Pointy there away from the inflatables!" She shoots Logan a quick wink and disappears into the bouncy castle with a flounce of her crisp white sundress. The combinations of summer are endless. But Wolverines and Bouncy Castles don't mix.

Gambit has posed:
Standing still and slowly uncrossing his arms and motioning Jubilee in with his right hand he then holds up his palm towards Logan and says in his deepest, most serious voice ever. "You heard the Vice President sir. No stabby people in the castle." His lips then curl in a smile that couldn't be contained and motions with his chin. "Go ahead."

Looking over at Cable and actually laughing. "Hey! No guns today, Pockets. (Yes that's Remy's nickname for Cable) Now, bunny-ears, get out'chere an enjoy the day."

Then laughing at Bobby and Magik, Remy lifts his eyebrows towards the young man and give him a wink as encouragement to be himself and flirt a little.

Wolverine has posed:
    Peering back over his shoulder at the familiar voice, Logan eyes Cable, and simply "grunts" in acknowledgement. Turning back to the scene at hand, Logan stops mid stride, frowns, and removes his cigar from his mouth. Exhaling the smoke, Logan regards the weird display, then Gambit, then back at the "obstacle course". Sighing loudly, Logan shakes his head and says, "No."

    As Magik appears, Logan eyes her cautiously, and excepts Hell to be at their doorstep. His eyes narrow as he watches her as she runs into the "obstacle" and then his expression changes to a grin when she curses in Russian. Logan replies, "Eto piz`dets, kid." In Russian. The translation was a bit course, but so was Logan.

    Logan watches as Jubilee tackles...whatever this was, and he shakes his head with a smile. As she winks at him, his smile widens, and he says, "Nice work kid." Then, he turns back to Remy. "Ah shucks. No stabby people." The cigar finds its way back into his mouth. "Too bad. I could make short work a' these...things." SNIKT! The claws on his right hand pop out, and then retract again into his hand with a "SNIKT!"

Magik has posed:
    The wall of the bouncy castle is given a withering look from Illyana while she drums an annoyed rhythm on her open textbook (Which shows what she's been bitching about! Romeo And Juliet.) And then there's miles-a-minute talk aimed at her and she just blinks owlishly at the hand that's proffered. "Uh." is her oh so eloquent return as she reaches for Bobby's hand half out of impulse. She then immediately looks like she regrets said impulse as she gets to her feet and Bobby begins shaking her arm. "You don't have a full schedule," she half mumbles in protest. She reaches down to pick up her book, glowering at it. "Though I guess I could take a break. On account of my book having grass stains or something." She chucks it over shoulder. "Or having conveniently fallen into a pond when I fell." But this means she misses the look the grizzled X-Man gives her, though she snorts at the commentary tossed her way.

    "So," She flings her hand in a flourish to both release it from Bobby's grasp and to turn him towards the bouncy fort. "You go first. Make sure it's safe. It sounds like there's something loud and obnoxious in there." Lots of love there, Jubes. Really.

Cable has posed:
Cable watches the merriment for a moment, but shows no signs of going to join in. He supposes this is what he was protecting - their ability to feel joy, these moments when they could pretend like the world wasn't out to kill them. He'd never had such things during his own childhood.

He manages to make his way over to a lawn chair and settle down into it. He sets his weapons aside, stripping off his jacket, his massive metal arm gleaming as he's stripped down to a t-shirt and military khakis, his glowing eye continuing to survey these 'X-men'.

Jubilee has posed:
Behind Remy, a large inflatable red, blue, and yellow castle, jiggles and faintly bounces. From inside, there's an occasional stifled squeal or giggle as Jubilee takes the opportunity to enjoy a moment of her childhood again as an adult. Thankfully, she's wearing her gymnastics gear underneath the starched white sundress, adorned with cherries, which she promptly slips off mid-bounce and tosses out the door of the castle to keep it from getting grungy from the inflatable.

Iceman has posed:
Bobby smiles at Magik, "How bout this, if you can relax for at least a minute before this is all over I promise I will help you with math homework." he grins and wags a finger. "I mean.. you want to get that A right?" he shrugs heading over to Logan again with a grin. He nods to Logan, "Prof says help them out, he didn't say don't ask for somethin first."

He looks around, and lifts out of a pocket, a cigar, one of those good ones. It is in a plastic bag, so he can't smell it, but then puts it back in his pocket. "You got a minute?" Glancing at Remy he smiles and nods, "Don't worry, I will return him and his grumpy self in just a moment, beckoning to a further corner away from the group.

Gambit has posed:
Remy raises his eyebrow at Logan. "Ah'm sure you could Logan, but t'at ain' t'e point o' today." He chuckles and motions towards the patio near the back door and how it's been set up like a bar with all kinds of sodas soft drinks such as tea, lemonade, and Logan's nose would catch the hint of a beer or two.

Then Jubilee's dress flies out of the castle and Remy actually guffaws! "Hey now none o- Oh." He says, turning to look inside and see she still moderately dressed. "Don' scare me like t'at!"

Then Remy nods to Bobby. "Go ahead, he's bein' grumpy again anyways." He then winks to Logan as it's just a joke.

Magik has posed:
    Relax? Illyana's brows quirk oddly at the request and she actually glances around the yard as if she was trying to find all the whatevers that only paranoid people tend to be worried about. "Can you put it in the form of a transmutation circle?" She asks Bobby, and it seems she might actually be serious. But then she's shrugging. "Fine. Relaxing." Cable is then given a blink as he does his thing. "He looks comfy," she comments idly as she pulls off her shoes, padding over /then/ to the steps to set her shoes down in her socked feet. After that, she eyes the bouncy fort castle thing with clothes being tossed out of it as if it might eat her. She even pokes her toe against a step for a moment as if considering before she takes a breath and takes advantage of a lull in Jubes' activity to enter it herself.

Wolverine has posed:
    Logan acknowledges Bobby's comment with a nod. "Yeah, we'll talk kid. Sure." Logan puffs on his cigar, and then returns his attention to the wild scene in front of him. Another day at the X Mansion...with a quick shake of his head, he side steps...whatever that was floating, bouncing past. A castle indeed. Huh. He resists the urge to puncture it. A herculean effort.

    Watching Magik move forward, Logan notes that Magik pushes Bobby forward as her "ice shield". "Nice...tactics."

    "Sure kid, sure." Logan says to Bobby. With another side step of a bouncing, inflatable...giraffe? and a few short strides, Logan is to the right hand side of Cable where he is lounging in his chair. Peering ahead, his back to the Mansion, and not looking at Cable, Logan says, simply, "Summers." Puff, puff. The acrid smell of the smoke from his cigar seems to congeal around him, with very little breeze to blow it away. He eyes Jubilee, and he actually smiles. A real one.

    "Thanks Cajun. Must be important." Looking back at Bobby, Logan nods towards Cable, "Is it private, or can he hear what ya' gotta say, kid?"

Cable has posed:
Cable narrows his eyes a bit at Logan. He doesn't necessarily publicize his heritage, especially among the younger set. Too much baggage, too much ugly. History is history though, and Cable's been in and out of this reality enough times to have made an impression.

He rises up from his seat, remembering to remove the bunny ears and tossing them aside as he approaches, "I'd just listen in anyway," he admits gruffly. He also has a habit of swiping Cerebro data without permission.

Jubilee has posed:
Out from the bouncy castle tumbles a petite Asian gymnast, down the inflatable steps and onto the grass as if the great inflatable itself has had enough of her. Jubilee gets up and dusts the grass off her black gymnastics top and bottoms, then rubs a spot on her tush. "Who leaves a rock in the grass next to a bouncy castle? Honestly..." She touches the spot gingerly with a wince. "It's the yard equivalent to stepping on a Lego, y'know." Her eyes narrow as she sees Logan off talking to Bobby, but she can't quite make out what they're talking about. Crinkling her nose, she sniffs and tries to smooth her wild cascade of ebony curls from her bout of bouncing, feigning indifference.

Iceman has posed:
He turns to Magik, and grins, "I don't know, I keep saying if you would just show me how Magic works whats the worst that could happen?" he shrugs, as she enters the castle. He turns, and moves over the the place he was waving forward for their conversation.

Having Logan seperated he grins, "Listen.. here is the thing. I got some of these.. well friends. Yea friends, of mine that want to go fight some things and I am going with them. Thing is they are kinda... well wierd, and I could use an assist." he pulls out the cigar, and wags it at Logan. "Comon... you know you want to. How bad could it be, I mean just a couple of friends that is nothing right?" He isn't really whispering, just talking in a low volume so if someone were to listen in it would be possible.

Gambit has posed:
Remy raises his eyebrow towards Bobby and Logan with a confused look before shrugging it off and kicking off his sandals, leaving them in the grass, Remy walks barefoot through the yard over towards the large grills Xavier had built into the patio and grabs a hot dog fresh off the grill and just eats the thing without a bun or any condiments. Just, enjoying the summer air and the laughter of all the children and some of the adults around the mansion. He motions Jubilee over and tosses a paper plate in her direction as though it was a cheap frisbee.

Wolverine has posed:
    "Prob'ly." Logan acknowledges Cable's comment, and watches him, eyes narrowed. Keep your friends close...snapping out of his reverie, Logan looks back at Drake, and says, "Friends..." Logan frowns, chewing slightly on his cigar. "Weird. Huh. Well, that is prob'ly accurate." Logan watches Drake, and lets him drone on.

    Logan's eyes watch Drake when he pulls the cigar out. Holding out his hand for Drake to deposit the cigar, Logan adds, "Ya need me ta' babysit is what yer saying?" Logan shakes his head, and sighs. "Alright. I take it this is too dangerous fer you and the others, which is why yer askin' me fer help." Not a question.

    Logan looks over at Remy, shrugs, and watches as Magik takes off. Then he turns back to Bobby. "I assume no one else knows about this?"

Jubilee has posed:
Jubilee catches the plate behind her back and flashes a smile at Remy, shooting a little pink spark from a finger-gun. "Ohhh, food..." She moves to the grill and looks over the array, unabashedly assembling a pile of THREE hot dogs with mustard and onions atop her plate. "Big shindig, eh?" she inquires of Remy. "Chuck went all out." Still, she can't shake the feeling that something's up, over in Bobby and Logan's direction. Her gaze flits over every now and again.

Iceman has posed:
Bobby nods, and pats him on the back deposting the cigar into Logans hand. It was imported in, a friend of a friend of some lady he used to date. "Hey thanks man, I knew I could count on ya.. I don't know what we are going to run into, but I am sure we can sort it out. But will be in touch be ready!" and steps back towards the group giving him the.. thumb-up, with a shhh symbol over his mouth, before he turns "I am prob going to have better hide the rest of those huh?" and hurried over to Gambit, "Hey don't eat all of those!"

Gambit has posed:
As Bobby approaches and makes his demand, Remy looks down at the dish that's been gathering hot dogs and burger patties and quickly takes about five and stuffs them all in his mouth and turns around to stare at Bobby with his red and black eyes wide open and looking spooky. "I mainm shmurim muffim." Remy says with a mouthful towards the X-man and tosses a plate towards Bobby, Logan, and Cable!

Kids are running around, laughing, having a great time and enjoying the summer and all the varius bouncy castles and inflatable obstacle courses, slides and many more things. Remy's standing before the grill stuffing his face and turning to address Jubilee with a finger up to his hot dog stuffed mouth. "Chukmf domf kmow."

Wolverine has posed:
    Logan sniffs. Bobby can hear Logan's stomach rumble. Logan takes the cigar, and stashes it somewhere..."Right. Good luck hiding them." Logan grins and adds, "Let's get some food bub, and ya can tell me about yer plans later." Logan watches as Bobby beats him to it, and heads over to the grill where Jubilee and Remy are already.

    Grabbing a couple of buns, a plate that Remy tosses, and with a quick motion of his right hand, he extends one of his claws to pierce a couple of 'dogs. Plopping them on the buns, he squirts a bunch of ketchup and mustard on the dogs, and smiles. "Now cajun, where's tha' beer hidden?" Logan sniffs, looking for his favorite liquid. "Don't go holdin' out on me!"

Jubilee has posed:
Jubilee hears the accusation from Bobby, and she ducks out of the line of fire, taking all three of her hot dogs with her. "C'mon, guys, I'll save ya!" Yeah, she's talking to her hot dogs.

Jubilee hip-checks Logan as she sidles up next to him and leans her cheek against his shoulder, gazing up at him sweetly and shiftily giving him a glimpse of a Mad Alchemist beer bottle she likely swiped when everyone was looking and they STILL didn't see her. "Could be yours, if you have any secrets you wanna share," she coos playfully.

Iceman has posed:
Bobby runs over and grabs a couple of Hotdogs.. He juggles them a little bit... "hot hot hot.." though they cool down enough for him to bit on one. "Hey thanks for the food! I better get back to it for now you three are a bad influence." and wags a finger at them with a grin. "No promises Bub... I will hide them from you for a little while at least, cause I know you too well." he walks away with a grin, as logan didn't notice the sign on his back yet. "Stay out of trouble, or at least make it fun!" Then with a slide he hops on eating a hot-dog, and slides away as quickly as he came in with a chuckle to himself.

Wolverine has posed:
    "Oooof." Logan grimaces as he is hip checked by Jubilee. "Ya better not get caught with that Jubilee." Logan grins and winks, nodding towards the hidden bottle. Munching on the dogs, Logan remains silent as the others chow down. Finishing up his meal, and nods to everyone, and says, "Later." Looking over at Remy, Logan nods, "Good work Cajun." With that, Logan heads back into the Mansion, indeed still not noticing the sign on his back.
