Gambit has posed:
Remy LeBeau eyed his opponent critically. There were certain rules he lived by in life, and first among those was "You can only play the cards you are dealt." He shoock his head slightly, there sometimes in life, as in cards, was no room for friendships or even mercy. "Draw 4 petie. Make 'em yellow."

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn isn't a big card player really, and she's definitely not into gambling. But she's bored and are card game sounded fun, sooo here she is. She peers at the cards and smirks, "Heey, no tricks, okay?" and she draws four cards at random, arching a brow. "Yellow? What's that even mean?"

Gambit has posed:
Remy LeBeau chuckles a little bit, tapping the wild card he'd just played. "Mean de mext card yah play 'ave ta be yellow." He says with a chuckle. He sorts his own hand and shakes his head slightly, "Seriously chere, how yah nevah play Uno before?"

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn oohs, "Oh, Okaay.." she peers at her hands, definitely not your typical card game, "Soo what do they call this game? Uno?" she pouts and shakes her head. "Um, maybe once, areeeaaaallly long time ago. Ooh! I have a yellow six! That works right?" and she slaps her card down.

Gambit has posed:
Remy LeBeau grins a bit, "It mos' certainly does." He says with a grin, playing a Yellow skip, followed by a blue skip, followed by a blue reverse, and finally a blue 6. "So how yah enjoyin' de winter so far? Ah always figure yah winged types 'ave issues wit' it.."

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn sighs and rolls her eyes, "Well, Yknow, it's pretty cold and dreary, I much prefer summer, or Spring, but at least the days are getting longer now, right?" she smiles as she moves more slowly, not as familiar or quick on the draw as she plays another card or two. But Remy is clearly winning so far. "What about you, what are you up to these days?"

Gambit has posed:
Remy LeBeau shrugs a little bit. "ah'm okay Ah guess. Lil bit of de pos' 'Oliday blues. Sent mah pappa a box of cigars foh Christmas. He send me a bottle of whiskey. Kinda a tradtion at dis poin'." He shrugs again. "'Ard knowing yah can' go 'ome even foh Christmas."

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn smiles and nods, "Get any good gifts this year? I always like unwrapping gifts, even if they're not that great, just the idea of a surprise gift is fun.." she giggles, putting down three cards in a row, "Woo beat that!"

Gambit has posed:
Remy LeBeau grins a bit glancing at her hand. "Don' 'ave ta, yah beat yahself. Yah fohgot ta say Uno. Draw two cards." he then plays an additional Draw two and smirks a bit"well aside from Whiskey from mah pappa like Ah said, one of de students give me a very nice scarf which was nice. An' Jack chewed up mah church shoes so Ah got mahself a new pair."

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn oohs, "Right, cuz that's the name of the game, well poop!" she makes a face as she draws two more cards, "Ooh, nice, I just got generic gifts, although I'm kinda sad I didn't hear back from Connor, I mean.." her wings wilt a bit looking sad all of a sudden.

Gambit has posed:
Remy LeBeau smiles slightly and reaches over giving the teen girl's arm a gentle squeeze. He doesn't /say/ anything, knowing better the to involve himself in teen drama but trying to be reassuring. Still he shrugs. "Generic gifts c'n be de best. Yah got mah gift card, right?" The Cajun had dropped a $20 Amazon card into every students stocking.

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn nods and beams, "Yeah, thanks! I love gift cards, I mean, you can get whatever you want instead of being limited to a specific gift that you don't really want.." and it's a good thing he doesn't voice his thoughts or she'd argue that she's no longer a teen, still not of drinking age in America anyway, but still..

Gambit has posed:
Remy LeBeau grins slightly. "Ah mean dat's how Ah usually look at it. And it let yah afterward be like, 'So what did Ah get yah?'. It's really interesting ta fin' out what people get foh demselves like dat. An' at least yah know dey got somet'ing dey wanted. Got de Professor new slippers. De man might not be able ta move 'is legs but dat don' mean 'is feet not get cold." He tilts his head and asks with a grin "so, what /did/ Ah get yah anyway?"

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn bites her lip, "Hmm well I didn't exactly use my gift card yet..But I'm still undecided what to get." she shrugs and sighs, "And now that the holidays are over, I guess it's back to school again soon." she pouts at the thought and sighs, "I still dunno what to declare as a major, it's sooo stressful, bah."

Gambit has posed:
Remy LeBeau shrugs a bit. "Yah got time. Maybe don' rush inta it right away." he says as he lays down a cards and says "Uno," He leans back and shrugs. "Ah nevah went ta collage. Hell, Ah didn't even learn ta read till Ah was twelve. Despite dat Ah got plenty more money den Ah evah able ta spend. Not saying it's a bad idea ta go ta collage, jus' dat it's not de end all be all. Certainly not wort' stressing on."

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn smirks, "Soo that's why you decided to become a thief? You and Storm? Isn't that what you did before you joined the Xmen?" she grins, "Sounds kinda fun..I mean, I'm hardly the badgirl type, but still.."

Gambit has posed:
Remy LeBeau handwaffles slightly. "Grew up on de streets petie." He says with a shrug. "Ah became a t'ief, small t, because it was dat, starve, or do somet'ing much worse." he shrugs a bit. "But when Ah get taken in an' Ah became a T'ief, capital T, den oui. Ah 'ad found a skill Ah was very good at, and decided ta go wit' it. An' jus' 'tween yah an' me? It's allot of fun."

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn oohs, "Soo what about now, are you still a thief? I mean, how'd you go from being a petty criminal to a super hero..Orrr, are you still a sneaky thief on the side?" she smiles impishly at that. "Come on, ai wanna know your origin story!"

Gambit has posed:
Remy LeBeau chuckles a bit, shrugging. "Ah always be a T'ief, captial T, chere. It's in mah blood an' in mah soul. If Ah nevah steal again, Ah still be a T'ief. It's a mindset. A way of t'inking. Ah coul' no more stop bein' a t'ief den yah could stop being a Gwynn." he says with a shrug. "As foh de whole origin story t'ing, it's really not dat exciting. Kinda fell inta it by accident. De X-Men an' mahself 'ad a mutual problem. We work taget'er ta solve it. De invited me ta stick around. Ah 'ad not'ing bettah ta do so Ah stayed. Few years later? Still got not'ing bettah ta do."

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn arches a brow. "Ohhh,Soo does that mean that I should keep a closer eye on my belongings?" she grimaces as he beats her game again and rises to her feet with a tired yawn, "Still, sounds kinda exciting, I mean, I guess a thief can come in handy right?" she grins, "Thanks for the game, Mr. Remy, good night!"

Gambit has posed:
Remy LeBeau chuckles a bit as he scoops up the cards. "Any time petie, an' don' worry. Ah may be a t'ief, but Ah'd nevah steal from mah friends non?" He carefully slides the cards back into the well abused box and returns them to the game shelf.
