Synopsis: Remy and Lorna meet over a game of billiards
Cast of Characters: Polaris, Gambit




Polaris has posed:
Lorna Dane is visiting from Genosha, spending a few weeks at Xavier's and catching up with the X-men. They have been short-handed of late for a variety of reasons and Lorna absolutely believes in helping out. She's wearing a crop-top tank with a pair of green and black yoga pants and slippers. Her luxurious green hair is pulled back into a ponytail.

She's leaned forward over the billiard table, lining up a shot, with some soft pop music playing on the stereo. Ariana Grande. The princess of Genosha and de facto ruler of that nation is currently in the process of trying to pull off a bank shot.

Gambit has posed:
Remy LeBeau smirks a little bit as he watches, leaning on his own pool cue and looking amused. "Yah gonna rattle out." He warns casually as he takes up a bit of blue chalk and applies it to the end of his cue. "So how long yah 'ere foh chere?"

Polaris has posed:
Lorna Dane looks up, raising an elegant eyebrow as she stands, bracing the butt of the cue against the floor, "Ye of little faith," she says with amusement. "A few weeks at least. Maybe longer, if I can set up a reliable transport between here and Genosha. I have duties I have to attend to, but I owe to much to this place to leave it in the lurch."

Gambit has posed:
Remy LeBeau grins slightly. "Ah 'ave complete fait' dat yah gonna rattle out." he says mildly amused as she lines up her shot. "Ah mean de fact dat dey on seperate continants does make reliable transportation a /bit/ of an issue. On de ot'er 'and yah c'n fly." He says chuckling. He walks over to a small fridge taking out a beer, holding a second up as to ask if she wants one as well. "Two dollah's says dat yah rattle out."

Polaris has posed:
Lorna Dane nods, "I can fly, yes, however, under my own power is a rather long pass over the Atlantic Ocean. I'd prefer to use a private jet, all the same," she says.

"Or perhaps we have a teleporter about who can help me out,' she says. "Fine, I'll take your bet."

She bends forward with the cue again and lines up, trying to get her concentration in order as she shoots, only to have it rattle out as predicted.

"Dammit!"

Gambit has posed:
Remy LeBeau smirks a little bit and shakes his head. "Yah do realize yah playing pool wit' a guy whose 'ole power is kinetic energy, dat is putting objects in motion?" he says as he walks over to the table, "Double combo, triple carem on de four, t'ree, two, one an' six wit' a bank Masse'." he says eyeing her challangeingly, "Unless yah wanna go foh double or not'ing, in which case I might try foh somet'ing tricky." He adds in a tone of pure challange.

Polaris has posed:
Lorna Dane rolls her eyes, although not in a hostile way, more in amusement than anything, "Nice to see you're still as full of yourself as ever," she says. Not that Lorna can exactly talk in that regard, only her ego doesn't come into play about pool. "Go ahead, show off a little for me," she says, casually perching herself up on a stool and sipping from a bottle of water.

Gambit has posed:
Remy LeBeau grins mischievously as he holds the stick almost straight up into the air and hits down on the cue. The white ball jumps over the nine, pocketing the three before reversing direction hitting the two and four and sending them into opposete corner pockets as well. "Yah know, 'tween talent like dis, a sexy accent, an' good looks on loan from God 'imself, it's amazing dat more people don' 'ate me... An' Ah'm even 'umbler den anyone else Ah know.

Polaris has posed:
Lorna Dane sips at her water, "Mmmmmmmm hmmmmmmmmmmm," she says. "Maybe I should find a use for you in Genosha. I might need a jester," she teases, taking a moment to buff her green nails on her top.

Gambit has posed:
Remy LeBeau looks mildly amused by that, "Ah don' know chere, nevah been too fond of de beach." He says playfully, casually just tapping the cue with his stick to pass the turn back over to her and looking amused. "Dough yah ever need a Royal t'ief, maybe Ah work on commision. Long as Ah not 'ave ta listen ta any lectures from Scott after,.

Polaris has posed:
Lorna Dane laughs, "If I had such a position, I certainly would not do so officially," she says. "But I will keep you in mind if we need to acquire any mutant artifacts or items appropriate to Genosha's heritage and place in the world," she says. "I imagine you're rather expensive, though."

Gambit has posed:
Remy LeBeau chuckles a little bit, But gives her an appraising look. "Depends on de job, who it's foh, why it needs done." He shrugs a little bit, "Lets jus' say dat if Ah t'ought it was foh a good cause, yah'd find mah sevices very affordable.

Polaris has posed:
Lorna Dane nods softly, "I am working to ensure that Genosha's causes are all good causes now, that we are only pursuing the good of all mutantkind. I am not so powerful as to ensure that all things will always be as I wish it. But I'm working on it," she says with a bit of a sparkle in her eyes.

Gambit has posed:
Remy LeBeau nods slightly, "Little advice foh free dat Ah got from a very wise man once chere? Ain' no one evah 'ad a statue built of dem dat not one kinda sumbitch or anot'er. Jus' remember dat doin' good and doin' de greater good not always gonna line up in such a way dat let yah sleep easy at night. Remy long ago come ta terms wit' 'is demons.

Polaris has posed:
Lorna Dane nods, "I understand I will have to make hard choices and that my hands may not always be entirely clean. I know that might be difficult for the Professor to swallow - and some of those that follow his path. But I will not cross those lines lightly. I can only vow to be thoughtful in my work," she says. "Bah. I am too sober."

Gambit has posed:
Remy LeBeau smirks a bit, tossing her his as yet unopened beer and going to get a second for himself. "De t'ing about de Professor is dat, by 'is own admission, he's a dreamer. Someday dare will be peace 'tween human's an mutants. Ah can' wait foh dat day mahself. But till we get dare, dare always gonna 'ave ta be comprimises as well. Long as yah not blind ta dat, yah be fine.

Polaris has posed:
Lorna Dane pushes up from her seat and goes to the liquor cabinet, drawing out a bottle of whiskey and casually pouring herself a shot. "I am not blind, I assure you, monsieur," she says. "I hope there will be peace in the future, as does my father," she says. "We are just prepared for the worst, if it happens."

Gambit has posed:
Remy LeBeau nods slightly, "Den yah know when de time comes, yah c'n call if somet'ing needs done." He says simply and using only one hand takes up his pool cue, hit's the cueball and sends it across the table pocketing the eight.
