You know, just once I'd like to go on a vacation that doesn't end up with me somehow waking up with a headache. Just once! I'm getting sick of sleeping gas and I want my clothes!

And wings? Wings I could deal with. You know who has wings? Angel. But he can fly with his! And all these things are giving me is a pain in the...

This isn't my diary... That's not the right date... this is too weird. Too weird. I'd better call the Professor...

You'd think that a te- Woah!

[ and in the dark, jubilee doesn't notice that tree branch. the girl trips over it, and mistaking it as a possible assailiant, twists around to let loose a blast. but as she's in the middle of falling--

He's a senator in your world? That's just what we need.

Well... President now. But the Anti-Mutant mindset dropped off when Gambit saved his life.

[bamfing]

... Gambit? Why would he do that? [Must have been some kind of angle, right?]

[touchofrogue]

[She perks up, interested.]

You're sure we're talkin' about the same mutant? Cajun accent, floppy hair, a real card fetish?

[ and he wants to be a little more than that. she bites that down, thankful for the excuse of a drink to have a moment longer to organize her thoughts. normally, she wouldn't care. but this seems to have world altering consequences. ]

Well, yeah. You two were X-Men a long time before I was. You - I mean, they - usually team up on assignments and all that if they can. And you can pretty much find him anywhere you- I mean, she goes.

[bamfing]

[Excuse Kurt's disbelief here. Gambit is an X-Men and Kurt isn't? This has got to be the most messed up world ever.]

[touchofrogue]

Huh. [She takes a sip of her milkshake in an attempt to wrap her head around this before deciding... she's better off not thinking about it.]

Sounds annoyin'.

[This is distinctly more mild than it could have been.]
