6th Card

[tenofspades]

[It’s late evening when Melanie returns from her mission, and despite the rain, she’s just glad to be back.

She's got a few small scrapes and bruises here and there and she's feeling exhausted, but she'll worry about all of that later. First she's off to the item shop so she can get a damn umbrella, because like hell she's walking back to CH1 in this rain. Sure, she doesn't mind the weather, but she's not exactly fond of getting soaking wet, either.

So, once that's taken care of, Melanie will head back to her apartment so she can clean herself up.

... Oh, yeah. Should probably take care of something else, too.]

[Voice; Locked to Kurt]
Happy anniversary. [Six months is something that should be acknowledged, right? ... Well, it's the longest that she's ever been with anyone, at least. So that counts for something.]

I went back to normal a couple of days after that snowball fight. [Just in time for all of the Valentine's nonsense.]

[Action]

[kineticcajun]

[Funnily enough, that's exactly the timeframe that pops into his head. They really pulled out all the stops on that Valentine's fiasco, didn't they.

Still, he covers up any "THAT DAMN SHIFT" expression with a grin.]

'Least it was fun while it lasted, non?

[Action]

[tenofspades]

[Reliving being seven years old was not something she cared to do, but she grins anyway.]

Sure, let's go with 'fun'.

[Action]

[kineticcajun]

[Hey, she was adorable. Being a big brother type was a nice change. But he just answers with a shrug.]

Gotta call it somethin'. Li'l too mild?

[Ugh, sopping wet coat. Don't mind him shrugging out of it and propping the door open with a foot to wring it out just outside.]

[Action]

[tenofspades]

[Well, it was certainly something, alright. But still preferable to the thought of being spliced again.]

I guess so. [But anyway. She'll just move to hold the door open so he won't have to use his foot to prop it open.]

Here.

[Action]

[kineticcajun]

'preciate it, petite.

[It doesn't take him too long at all to get the worst of the water out of the coat, and then he steps back in, giving a thumbs up as a sign that she can let the door shut again.]

So now you're back, we gonna be gettin' that poker night t'ing underway?

[More people need to be beaten into the ground at poker. This is obviously of utmost importance.]

[Action]

[tenofspades]

[Oh, of course it is.]

Going to have to at some point. Still need to figure out what to bet with, though. [Sure, they could probably do it without, and some people suggested the same thing... but where's the fun when there's nothing at stake?]

[Action]

[kineticcajun]

[Nope, they're gonna need something to bet. That's for certain. But just what that thing will be, he has no idea.]

Maybe food or somethin'. Ain't too many options in a place like dis, though.

[Action]

[tenofspades]

Not really. Something like this will probably require a bit more thought. [And maybe cupcakes.]

[Action]

[kineticcajun]

Prob'ly. Might wanna ask around, see what kinda ideas people've got. I'll see if I can find anythin'.

[definitely cupcakes.]

[Action]

[tenofspades]

Let me know if you find anything. Either way, I'll look into setting up a date soon.

[...]

Assuming nothing else happens in that time, anyway.

[Action]

[kineticcajun]

That's a pretty big "if" there, petite.

[And there's still repercussions of the last one popping up. He's not sure he feels like finding out what the next thing will be.]

[Action]

[tenofspades]

I know. [Though Melanie got out of the last one relatively lucky, since she was already with Kurt. Melaka? Not so much.]

But there's not much to be done about it. We'll just see what happens in the meantime. [Don't worry, Gambit. You'll get your poker game someday.]
