Who:  Remy & George
What:  Moving on from the carnival, Gambit goes West to the library.
When: 0942 - Day 9
Where: Near the library.
Rating: PG-13 for possible language.
Status: Complete

The more he explored this place, the more Gambit decided that these people hadn't collected up the most special, or most important of a set of people, as the Doctor had imagined.. but rather, these people had collected the strangest of those people that they could find. Wolverine, the Doctor, the wolf lady, and Edward? What had been up with his hands? It made the Cajun shiver some just thinking about it. Not complete. What did that mean, anyway? Well, he wasn't going to think hard on it, at any rate.. not yet. He had other things still to figure out. Wolverine had said there were thirty to forty people here, and Remy had only met four.. it meant he had a Hell of a lot of people yet to encounter, and he was sort of looking forward to it. As long as they were all as strange as the first three he'd met. It, ironically, made Gambit feel a bit more.. well.. normal. 

As he approached the next building, he looked it over carefully, squinting his eyes down to read the words carved into the stone above the entrance. The Library. That could be useful. And.. was that a tree growing out of it? This place got stranger by the minute. Still, he made his way half-way up those steps, before turning around to sit down on them and pull that small journal out of his jacket pocket. Black and red eyes rosed up to the building across the way. That looked like some sort of.. dance hall? Bordello? Well, that would be welcome, and the thought made him smile, even as he saw the small marker that identified it as a theatre. Oh well. 

His journal regained his attention and he stared down in it for a moment before drawing three circles and labeling them, then making a few lines to indicate roads. The last circle was added, with the label of Theater, and he was closing the book, then standing up again. An agile twist on the stairs had him facing the right way, and Gambit was headed up and to that library, pushing the doors open as quietly as he could manage before stepping inside. 

"Hello?" The Cajun called into the tree-ridden building. That was about the neatest thing he'd seen. But he didn't stop there, he headed on silent feet further into the building, looking around in an attempt to assure himself it wasn't going to collapse on his head.. and once he was certain of that, the Cajun slowly sat down on a bench near the central desk at the front and tugged out his journal again, looking it over and remembering what the Doctor had said. Whatever he wrote in there, other people could see? Well, he'd give it a try.

"I don't know, frankly. This has been all too confusing for everybody, I think, nobody's thinking straight. But maybe we should try again, I don't know, maybe we can figure this out..." She didn't bother telling him about the mindfuck of that person who seemed to know all about everybody, and fucked with them through codes and ominous little phrases. Someone else could fill him in on that, surely.

George raised an eyebrow at Gambit as she looked up at him. "I can watch my own back pretty well, but thanks. I'll look into it." Though she disliked the idea of having a group that wans't her own very much. Plus, everybody had already grouped up and didn't seem too keen on bringing her in, which was just fine by her. She wasn't going to beg.

Well, she was never going to live the real bible bashing thing down with this guy, was she? George smirked, and shook her head. "Well I suppose a guy with black and red eyes has seen everything, right? I'm a reaper, in the real world. I died and came back to life. Sort of." Well what the hell, after all she'd seen so far - including the hanging body of Ryuzaki's friend today - it didn't seem to matter anymore whether people actually knew what she was about or not.

To know about that sort of man might have been beneficial for Gambit.. it would be something good to know, so he could better prepare. To know what he might be up against. Because the Cajun had skeletons in his closet, that if released, might go on a skeleton-killing spree. That'd be bad for everyone.

"I'm sure everyone here can wa'ch 'dere own back, Chere, don' mean 'dat 'dey can do it better 'dan uh par'ner coul'. Jus' t'ink 'bout it, can' hur'." However, he'd leave it at that and move quickly onto the next subject. Wait -- was she commenting on his eyes? Just because he had strange eyes, he'd seen everything? .. Okay, well, she had that somewhat right. He'd certainly seen a lot. Especially just today.

"Uh reap'r? Like Dea't? You take people t'where 'de gon' spen' 'ternity?" After a long pause, his mouth curled up widely. "'Dat's 'bout 'de mos' awesome t'ing I ever heard, Chere. So how you en' up here? Ain' 'dat easy t'jus' grab Dea't, non?" He was taking this all pretty easily.. so far. But when he finally made it full circle around the town and found that hanging body? He might not be so easy going anymore.. okay, yes he would. But he'd be a lot more on-edge.

And no. No, she was never going to live that down. Gambit was going to tell everyone that she'd tried to assault him with a Bible. And he was going to do it with a smile on his face.

Yeah, well, unless she changed her mind suddenly, he wasn't going to hear it from her. Because at this point, George was very much exhausted and really unable to piece a succinct and relevant summary of past events for a newcomer. In sum, she was pretty useless.

George nodded reluctantly at Gambit's conclusions about what she'd told him. It was always weird to explain herself and what she did. But it was cool that he at least wasn't running away screaming thinking she was going to actively kill him. "I'm not really Death. Death happens. I just take the souls of the living when they're about to die, so they won't feel it. And then, I lead them in the right direction." There. She was getting better at this.

"I'm basically a human, except I can't really die or be permanently injured, and I died before so I'm someone else, not really me. Back there. Here, I'm me, good old me." And now, it was downhill again.

"Well, if you're dea', you can' use 'de same body, rigt'? You'd gotta be someone else not you. Else everyone woul' scream an' run, 'cause 'dey t'ink you a zombie." Yes, Gambit had comic books of all flavors. Don't judge him. And he'd been around the block before.. this sort of thing didn't phase him much, and he could make comic-book logic out of most everything.

"But what you do, it soun's good. Sometime dyin' woul' be painful, non? You save 'dem 'dat, soun' good t'me. So you take an' lead 'de people who die here? Or now that you all.. back to norm'l, not 'someone else', you can' do 'dat anymore?" He had a lot of questions, but would pick and choose what he asked.

George shrugged. "It's kind of weird like that. I'm me, but not really, although sometimes I am...I don't know." She did snicker at his zombie remark; more so because her sister had figured her out and she didn't even need to see George's actual body to know who she was.

She nodded in agreement. It

She nodded in agreement. It <i<was</i> a good thing they did, though sometimes some deaths were extremely hard to swallow. "No, not here. I have no idea what happens here, and to be honest, it freaks me out."

"Seem t'freak a lotta people out, Petite. You ain' 'de on'y one." His words came with an easy, charming smile, but Gambit was then turning and moving down one step, before spinning to face her again. "You be okay here, 'den? I promise t'meet uh frien' at 'de gym at dawn.. lil' bit la'e but bet'r la'e 'den never, righ'?"

The Cajun gave her a quick wink before turning down to moving quickly, almost hopping down a few steps, until he was on the ground and could turn to face her again. "You ever need me f'somet'in', or you jus' wan' see me 'gain, you write me in 'dat journal, non? I come to you." He lifted his hand then in a wave, spreading out his three gloved fingers, and two ungloved fingers, before he lowered his hand again. "I see you later, Petite."

George smiled when he called her Petite, though she was instantly mortified that she had. What was this, easily-flattered day? "Sure, I'll be fine, go ahead." She said, waving her hand dismissively. And then she smiled again at his wink. Idiot she called herself.

"Um, okay. Sure." Though she wasn't sure why she'd ever need him, despite not being a bad idea at all to see him from time to time. He was cute, after all. Red eyes and all. She waved back at him, nodding. "Later."
