---

Hellion has posed:
     After assisting a bit with the more heavy lifting of the debris from the Academy, Julian took off for flight. He had himself a plan brewing to retaliate against the prank, it needed some time to figure things out. Possibly forking the lawn, or Saran wrapping all of the exits to the rival school. The list of juvenile pranks were endless.

     The telekinetic soared above the street level, confusing some and worrying others, it that he cared much about discretion.

Gambit has posed:
Remy's sitting in a park, playing a game of chess at one of the many stone tables set up around the park and is thinking over his next move, a finger lingering on the rook on his left as he ponders his next move. He's certain Rogue is upset at him again, but this is a nice way to enjoy the sun, have some quiet time away from the school and forget about the whole oddity that was the other day at the Academy.

He yawns slightly and his eyes are cast to the sky.

"Huh... bit young for a superhero, eh cheri?" Remy asks in Rogue's direction, his grey shirt with the yellow print for Xavier's on the front whips slightly in the wind, as he leans back to address the fellow southerner.

Rogue has posed:
Rogue ls laying on her stomach ontop of her leather bomber jacket with her head turned to the right staring at Remy's feet where he's seated at the chess table. She's wearing blue jeans and a black tanktop with green long gloves that go up to her elbows and leather boots on her feet. Rogue hated chess. She said it was 'about two rich pricks killing all their underlings just to preserve their rich kingdoms.'

"What are you talking about?" Rogue asked then, having no idea that there was someone flying over head. "Why are we back here anyhow? This place is like, the worst. Ah mean, didn't ya notice that purple butthole over the buildin'? Crapped Havok outta it... its this place, its the worst."

Hellion has posed:
     Julian made a landing at the park, nothing special about it, but he did start meandering to the chess tables. He managed a look at Gambit, remembering the man from the security camera feed. His eyes were practically shooting daggers in their direction.

Gambit has posed:
Remy smirks and nudges at the sole of her boot and aims upwards with a finger and his eyes towards Julian flying over head and then rolls his eyes at Rogue. "You're de worst wit' directions Anna Marie." He says with a wink before correcting. "Dat school was ovah in metropolis, we're Manhattan li'l lady o'mine."

Then the kid lands, not too far off and is staring at Remy. Remy has seen this face before, when he's been made by an authority figure, someone who's caught him red handed.

Rogue has posed:
"I thought it was down the street from here." Rogue replied, having no idea that the flying person had landed near-by either. She just continued to lay there on ehr stomach on her jacket. "We were there at night... not my fault Ah can't tell where things are when there's no damn light out showin' me where they are. I was in the back'a your car the whole damn ride, gettin' the toilet pape'ah outta the packagin' 'nd inta the garbage bags while Jubilee was tryin' t'talk us outta the whole thing."

Rogue's right hand reached out to her cup of what was left of the root beer float she'd bought and shen pulled it toward her and leaned it down to take a pull from the bright green straw sticking out of the little plastic dome ontop of the cup.

Hellion has posed:
     The Hellion did indeed see his target, not that he had any authority over either of the two. This was a matter of pride. "I heard you guys like to wreck perfectly good schools and leave them with the cleanup bill." He says, keeping a steady march up to the other mutants. He had a fire in his eyes, the kind of fire that only bullheaded teens get. Both headstrong and overly confident.

Gambit has posed:
"Nah really." Remy whispers to Rogue and nudges her in the foot again as Julian starts to march towards them.

Choosing to play it cool, Remy moves his rook and leans back with a casual smirk aimed up at Julian, his arms spreading wide in the air before he bends his elbows and laces his fingers behind his head. "Ah, 'ave no idea what you're talkin' about kiddo, but I 'eard dat some folk saved a school in Metropolis from bein' attacked by some... What were dey Rogue? Smilin' Robots?"

Rogue has posed:
Rogue felt the nudge to her foot and she smirked at it. A moment later she started rolling over onto her back and propping herself up on her elbows, around the time that Julian strutted over and spoke his words. Rogue's green eyes stared at the man, she fluttered her black eyelashes a couple of times and then her right gloved hand came up to pull some of her white bangs out of her face and shove them off to the side.

Rogue glanced over to Remy, and then back over to Julian and she just smiled softly. "Ah didn't realize that pickin' up toilet pape'ah was that expensive. Let alone unwrappin' that nerd mummy that I made." ... Rogue didn't have a lot of subtlety in her spirit... "And uh, yeah. Giant robots with guns, I mean... I think they had guns. I had a lot t'drink that night."

Hellion has posed:
     Julian's cobalt eyes glance to Rogue. "Oh, the TP job was on point. That nerd mummy..." He gives the OK hand gesture. "It was the HUGE ROBOTS that destroyed the quad." Hellion states, making his issue heard. "But the TP is something I'm gonna have to get you back for...trust me on that. It's like...an unwritten law."

Gambit has posed:
"But not unspoken." Remy says with a lifted eyebrow. "Just don't set off our secruity system. We got lasers, an' tasers an' all kindsa toys. hidden all ovah de property." Remy says, pulling his hand from beind his back and taping his nose.

Is, is he serious? No... he couldn't be.

Though he turns his head and gives a hidden gesture towards Rogue, a simple wink. The engaged couple should be able to have that wavelength of fuckery down pat by now, non?

Rogue has posed:
Rogue had no idea what Remy was trying to gesture toward her. She just nodded at him and then looked back to Julian.

"Yeah yeah, 'nd we got a boxin' glove that shoots outta the wall when ya ring the doorbell. It punches ya RIGHT in the kisse'ah! POW!" She brought her left gloved hand up and mockingly popped herself in the nose in slo-motion.

After a grin she dropped her fist back down to the ground and just leaned there on her elbows. "Those giant robot dorks weren't ours though. Ah ain't go -no- idea where they came from... but they were someone else's entirely. Which means ya'll got yourselves some prime enemies, not us though. We're just stupid kids."

Hellion has posed:
     Julian scoffs, looking to the both of them. "Yeah sure, just remember." Seems like logic has stricken the teen down from unrequited anger. "Aren't you two a little old to be pulling a prank on a school? Just sayin'." He offers with a smug smirk on his face.

Gambit has posed:
"Ah ain't nevah too old t' pull a prank. Age is in 'ere." Remy says, his hand moving to point at his heart, tapping his sternum once. The cajun looks back down to his game and frowns towards the old man he was playing and surrenders, knocking his own king over. "Beat me again Harrold." Remy tsks.

"So de lady an I were wonderin' if you gotta a name kiddo. Ah'm Remy. She's ... Unique." Leaving that up to Rogue.

Rogue has posed:
Rogue shook her head at Julian's final comment then. "I'm just eighteen point five. Its completely within my demographic to be pullin' ridiculous pranks still. Ah mean... just imagine the kinda hijinx waitin' for me in whateve'ah college I choose to grace with mah beauty 'nd charm." She smiled sweetly up at Julian.

At least until Gambit admitted his defeat and spoke out to that old man who'd been playing against him for the past nine hundred hours (RoguesTimeScale). "Ah knew it, Harold." She said up at him. "You just won 'nd in the process Ah gotta marry you now, rathe'ah than my lecherous teache'ah here." She reached over and shoved Remy's thigh.

Hellion has posed:
     The telekinetic looks to Remy, offering up his own name. "Julian Keller." The usually spitfire-spirited teen looks back to Rogue, fixing his hair back to its usual slicked back position, taking a seat on the grass. "I still have a year before I get out, seventeen and counting."

Gambit has posed:
Watching Julian sit and start flirting with Rogue, a wheezing laugh falls out of Harold's mouth getting a scoff from Remy. "Hey, y'beat me, no need to add insult."

"I'm not the one flirting with your girl sonny."

Remy rolls his eyes and responds. "Ah don' wanna get arrest for beatin' up a minor." Which, should go without saying he's done much, MUCH worse. Remy does turn his head to look at Rogue, asking a question non-verbally.

Rogue has posed:
Rogue watched Julian come to sit down and she tilted her head gently to the side as the wind in the park pushed that white hair of hers back across the front of her face. "So you go t'Big Boobs School?" She asked, clearly referring to Emma Frost. "How is the day t'day like there? Cause... everyone Ah've met from that place is a real piece'a-- uh, work." She glanced back to Remy and saw him giving her a look so she gave him a -look- back.

Rogue sat up then and wadded her leather jacket up into a ball, stuffing it between her thighs as she sat there cross-styled on the soft shaded grass.

"Big Boobs tried t'recruit me a couple'a times. She's... a telepath, ain't she? Ah think she snuck inta my head and saw... stuff, that made her want me t'come with her. The creepe'ah that she is."

Hellion has posed:
     The Hellion nods, looking over to the view of the park. "Yeah, my parents have something or other with someone that knew she has a school. That was about all the explanation they gave me before shipping me off to Metropolis." The teen leaned back. "That's what they say, but she hasn't done anything like that to me, that I know of. They kinda...let you do your own thing there, so I do. And she knows what I can do, so...who knows."

Gambit has posed:
"If Marie here think she has big boobs, they must be gazongas!" Says Harold, with another breathy laugh and another stare from Remy. "Stap lookin' at everyone ya old perve."

Remy then turns in his chair to not face Harold who scoffs and slowly gets up to leave.

"Ah have no clue who y'alls is talkin' about. But she sounds dangerous."

Rogue has posed:
Rogue first listened to what Julian had to say and she gently was nodding her head up and down to his words before she heard the chime-in comment from Harold and then the follow-up by the Cajun. She grinned at the old man.

"Oh Haroled... Stop it or you're gonna make me blush." She said with a big smile and her southern accented voice laced with innocent charm and flirtatious undertones.

Rogue glanced at Remy and then looked back to Julian. "What is it that you do then?" She asked him. "Ah mean like... ya know... what makes Emma want you around?" And with that ask, the girl with the two-toned hair reached for her cup of melty root beer float and did that sound-thingy with the straw rubbing on plastic.

Hellion has posed:
     The teen smiled, he loved doing what he can do. "I am a telekinetic." He says, smiling. "I don't think it's as much her wanting me there as much as my parents wanting me there, if you ask me." He offers, shrugging of his parents lack of care. "But it's pretty plush there."

Gambit has posed:
Remy keeps his attention focused on Julian and Marie. Sitting quietly, listening to the two students compare notes about the blonde teacher-mistress-lady, that she is. Whatever she is, is powerful, in several ways.

Rogue has posed:
Rogue glanced around at th eother faces and then looked back to Julian. "You're a telekinetic?" She asked, not being very good with these kinds of words, she just sort've stared with a confused look for a second before she remembered. "Oh, that is... that is like, Star Wars shit, right?" She asked, before sticking her right gloved hand out and reaching for Harold's cane that was lenaed up against the old man.

"Come to me... walkin' stick!" She said in a mocking dramatic voice. "For I wish to slay thee, Space Man!" Had Rogue ever actually seen a Star Wars movie?

Hellion has posed:
     Julian reaches a hand towards the white king on Gambit's chess table, the piece flies towards his hand before catching it. "More like that chick Carrie. Except without the bucket of blood part." He smiles, floating over to the chess set and placing the King back to its place beside his Queen. He hovers himself for a bit, before returning back to terra firma. "That's why I got sent all the way here from Cali." He says, a little perturbed at his parents for that.

Gambit has posed:
After Julian show's off his powers Remy looks past the black haired student and mouths, "Like Jean." Towards Rogue and then leans back, giving a soft nod towards the two teens and showing off his cheeky grin once more. "Dat's a long ways to go for a school. Ah woulda t'ought dere was tons o' ... schools 'round de contry, non?"

Rogue has posed:
Rogue had a lot of history in California, so when he mentioned it her smile faded to a blank expression again after seeing the telekinetic trick, which she'd rather enjoyed. Rogue hadn't spent a lot of time around Jean Grey since she'd gotten to Xavier's though, so she glanced at Gambit and just nodded her head.

"That is a long way, but, yeah... ya go where ya think ya can get the best help, right?" She asked, looking back to Julian. "Thats what I did anyhow..." Rogue shook her head then. "Well, I ain't got any real hard feelin's toward you or your school mates, we just were prankin' the school for fun. We got chased off by those giant nasty robuts though, so we barely even got started with the toilet paperin' part." She sighed then, following it up with a headshake too. "So much wasted money on fine fine two-ply. All for not..."

Hellion has posed:
     "None far away enough that I would be en embarrassment to them by being a mutant." That was a lie. "By using my gifts however I want." Julian smiles at the two of them. "No hard feelings, just know we are gonna get you back, sometime. What's the use for having a rival if we can't do things like that?" The telekinetic gives a charismatic smile to both Remy and Rogue before he hovers in front of the two, in a standing position, about to take off.

Gambit has posed:
Remy stands up and steps over towards Julian and extends his hand in greeting and says, "Don' forget what Ah said about de security."

Rogue has posed:
Rogue had no idea what kind of security measures the Xavier School had, she'd gone to some meetings down in the X-Men base about it, but she usually tuned the speaking parts out and thought about other stuff, generally men's butts, or cat videos she'd seen on youtube, or past military missions (Carol) or how to properly maintain your primary weapon while in the field (Also Carol) or that time she and her dog Jenkies chased a cat up a tree (That one is Rogues).

A big headshake and a bigger smile and the southern belle wrapped her arms around her legs and pulled her knees up to place her chin ontop of them as she watched Julian all silly-like. "Bring on your best, Cali-Fornia." She teased him as it looked like he was about to bounce.

Hellion has posed:
     The Hellion nods to both mutants before rising up, gently at first, then when he's high enough, he's off like a rocket back to Metropolis. He's got some planning to do, some mischief to plan in Westchester.

Gambit has posed:
"Peculiar boy." Remy says, standing up and extending his hand down to the woman on the ground who's curled up with her chin on her knees. "Ah'm still surprised you can bend dat much."

"Yeah, her boobs are too big to do that!"

"SHUT UP HAROL'!" Remy calls out to the old man and helps up his fiancee. "Le's go get a movie at de redbox and grab some seafood fo dinnah an prank dat school again. Preemptively like."

Rogue has posed:
Rogue takes Gambit's hand and she easily rises up to a standing position with her leather jacket clutched in the other hand. She grinned at Harold's words and walked over to him to place a smooch ontop of his head, right over that last bastion of grey hair that protects him from her killer touch.

"I'm young'a'nough t'be your great grand kid, ya old perv." She said at him with a grin before she started to jog to the trash can to toss her empty cup.

"I liked him though! So don't be mean!" She then said back at Gambit in regards to the Jules. "Now lets go, or we're gonna be late for the moooOOOovie!" And with that she threw her jacket on around her otherwise bare shoulders to keep them from being too dangerous to other people around the city.
