They call it Than-X-Giving here

[bamfing]

Who: Ororo Munroe, Rogue, Kurt Wagner, Jubilation Lee, Remy LeBeau, Tony Stark, Steve Rogers, Bruce Banner, Dick Grayson Robin, and Melanie Walker
What: TURKEY DAY
When: Evening of the 24th
Where: House 16
Summary: The X-Men have decided to invite some of their buddies and pals (who all coincidentally have costumed alteregos) for some Turkey Day shenanigans.
Rating: H for HEARTWARMING

Over the past week, the X-Men have invited a variety of their friends and contacts who they knew would celebrate Thanksgiving, but wouldn't have anyone to spend it with here in Luceti because they're all jaded loners. They were all instructed to try and bring a dish with them, but it was no requirement. Nevertheless, all the traditional foods would be present, along with some delicious extras.

ooc: Characters can interact out at the table eating, over on the couches, in the one of the two spare bedrooms, or preparing food in the kitchen. Or maybe catching some cool air outside on the porch. Whatever your fancy is! Also, prose or action brackets are cool. Pick your poison.

"Tol' you already. Jubilee asked, so I'm here." There is absolutely no need to throw in that he doesn't mind any opportunity to come by and ruffle Rogue's feathers. It's a motivation he's not about to share with anyone else.

His cigarette is pretty much finished at this point. Rather than snub it out under a heel, he charges the cigarette butt up just enough for it to catch flame, then drops it just before it reaches his fingertips, letting the ashes blow away with the wind. It's not really meant as a threat, but he figures if it's taken that way, that's fine by him.

"Do I need a better reason than comin' by 'cause someone asked?"

Well to be fair, ruffling Rogue's feathers might as well be an official Luceti sport.

Robin's eyes narrow at the semi-exploded cigarette. Oh, he understood that as a threat, all right. He's also pretty sure the X-team wouldn't enjoy having their house blown up, even if it did regenerate afterwards. Dilemmas.

"Not at all. But I suspect you have an ulterior motive anyway."

Robin is pretty quickly grating on Gambit's nerves with the questioning. It's one thing to be questioned when you're actually out to cause trouble. It's entirely another when you have no ulterior motive aside from maybe getting seconds on pie. For once in his life, he's actually not up to anything, and that's just making it all rankle even more.

And yet somehow, it doesn't surprise him at all.

He's already answered about the ulterior motive, so Gambit just goes for a different approach and ignores the accusation. "Are you always a bundle'a fun like this durin' holiday get-togethers, or did someone put you up to this?"

And if Gambit was planning to steal that second helping, Robin would be all over him. Veritably like white on rice, though perhaps less ethnic.

"I'm a regular party animal." Really. It's hiding under all the linefacing and huge pile of mistrust.

"Yeah, I can see that." See, Gambit can do the sarcasm thing too. "You could use a party hat, though. Might help your case."

If Robin is expecting any useful information, it's not coming.
