01. [Action / Voice]

[When Scott had last been aware, he'd been somewhere near the deserts of Mexico. Where in Mexico, he couldn't be sure, though there'd certainly been enough heat and sand to last a lifetime. It simply made no sense to pass out and wake up in a snowpile, more underdressed than he'd been in the summer sun. It's an understatement to call Scott alarmed. He scrambled to his feet, ears straining for the sound of something other than the whistling wind of a cold breeze. It must have been the fight he'd had with Mystique. He'd obviously lost, and she'd had him shipped to a different corner of the globe instead. Is she planning to keep abandoning him in different places until the elements kill him outright? He doubts he'll last long in sub-zero conditions without even a blanket to insulate him.

No. Scott decides instantly that he isn't in the mood to die today. Nothing good comes from pessimism. He'd found people in the bowels of a foreign country before, and he'll just have to do it again here too. Judging by the temperature, there might at least be some Inuit family that might be willing to share their igloo.]


Hello? [He ventures a greeting cautiously, and dares to crack a single eye open to see if there's some sort of civilization nearby. The small gesture alone sends a bright red beacon ripping through the flurrying snow -- hopefully not into anyone's personal property. There seemed to be some manmade structures just off to the left of the snapshot image he'd gotten. It wasn't enough of a visual to notice the journal lying open at his feet, but he isn't really in much of a reading mood anyway.]

I-is... anyone there? [He tries it again, more assertive now despite the telltale shiver in his tone. If there's at least one house, then there has to be people somewhere. With people come options. Maybe they'll have a phone he can use to call the mansion and get help sent out, or perhaps they'd at least have a first-aid kit and would be nice enough to patch up whatever injury was causing that bone-deep pain in his shoulderblades. If nothing else, hopefully the people here speak English.]

[Rogue is in the Item Shop, paging through her journal. Why? Because the day's sorting is done and her Mp3 player is being fixed, and

When that is a voice she wasn't expecting to hear. It's been so long she almost forgot it - but hearing it is an instant reminder.

No, it can't be.]


Scott?

[Mystique.

Well, that's definitely Scott. But why would he think--

Oh.]


Scott - [Scott] - Mystique's not here. I'm talkin' to you through the book. Can you see it?

[Mind. Racing. If this was from That Time, then...

Or maybe she's wrong and the Malnosso left the visor with him somewhere, but... it doesn't hurt to check.]

Depends on what you mean by "there". Physically? There's probably nowhere nearby. But good news! You can talk to more people than you ever wanted to through a magical book.

[This is him being helpful. Yep.

He also notices the conversation with Rogue up there. Know her, eh? Don't mind him prying. He does that.]

[Gambit is out and about today. He's not really headed anywhere in particular, but you can only spend so much time in the Battle Dome before you start running out of ideas. Walking is fine too. Plus then he can keep an eye out for incomers and -- what the --

He has just enough time to spot that incoming optic blast to dodge roll out of the way. For a moment, he's bewildered. And then he's just annoyed.

Climbing back to his feet, he runs an irritated hand through his hair and glares in the direction the blast came from. And then he can hear the voice drifting through the trees.

...He's going to have to do something nice, isn't he. Merde. Without moving further, he calls out in the direction of the blast.]


Watch where you're aimin', homme!

Aww, shi--crap. [Think.]

Scott - reach behind you an' touch your back.

That wasn't me. Look, we're all stuck like this just -- hang on an' try not ta freeze. If you can feel out for anythin' - some kind of landmark, I'll come an' find you.

[His stuff wasn't in the Daily Sort that morning, but... she could at least look and see if the Malnosso had dropped anything off. Maybe the Malnosso left it beside him and he just can't see it. Either way, she picks up the journal and starts heading towards the back where the new things usually arrive.

He'll be fine, we've both been in worse situations than this. At least most everyone in this place is nice.

...which may be the first time she's actually been grateful for that.]

[Here we go again. Finally start to put the past behind you and then somebody straight out of it walks in. Géniale.

When did this charged card get into his hand. Must be reflexes. That and if there's another blast, he doesn't plan to hold onto it.]


You always greetin' people like this? Or am I jus' that lucky?

[Okay, okay, she can do this. Hold it together. Look around for his glasses, his visor, anything, and then--]

All right, then just - stay there. I'm lookin' in the Item Shop ta see if I can find your [mrrr, open connection - oh screw it] glasses. If I can't I'll be outside in five minutes an' when I tell you to, just look up an open your eyes for a minute. That'll help me pinpoint which side of the village you're on.

[Just like when they were on that bridge together.

...of course, Mystique would know all this too, but Rogue doesn't know how she can prove who she is over the journals anyway.]

You ain't in Kansas anymore, Dorothy. [Gambit slowly starts forward, card still at the ready. Just. In. Case.] But you prob'ly ain't gonna believe anythin' I say anyway.

Gawd, I hope so. [The sound of things being moved around.] I'm lookin' for 'em now. If they're here, I'll find 'em.

[No promises on the 'tell you everything' as soon as she's there, though. Things like not freezing are important.]
touchofrogue: (Well I --)

[personal profile] touchofrogue 2012-01-12 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
That's a.. really long story, Scott. [Scott. She still can't believe he's here.

And, oh man, is he not gonna like this place. She's not sure if him getting all upset before she can even find his glasses is a good idea so - temporary avoidance tactic?]
Let's just say... we ain't in Kansas anymore.

[Come on, come on, they've got to be here.]
kineticcajun: (That boy ain't right.)

You don't wanna freeze, you gonna hafta take my word on a few t'ings.

[He's fairly close now, but still keeping a good distance. This could go any number of ways, and he's not optimistic about most of them.]

You ain't too far outta town, at least.
