Just passin’ through. Stakin’ out a few places for potential business.
{Laughs, lips pulled into an amused smirk.}
If I ever met a female version of myself, I’d probably call her a bitch too. But damn, she’d be a real bebe.
{Fingers through the cards, idly playing with them.}
I won’t refuse a willing player.
Any bets or are we playin’ for glory?
It’s not such a good place for business, y’know. Might wanna at least move towards the rich district.
[ snort. ]
I dunno — I think I was too busy arguing to notice whether she’s attractive or not. Probably is, though, seeing as it’s still me.
[ oops ego problems always. stares at the cards for a while and shrugs, leaning back a little. ]
Glory.
Or a favor, whichever. Preferably something… non-material, for now.
So called bad guys. I usually walk the line, but I was raised a professional thief. Still am.
{Cocks an eyebrow.
lol what other gambit there is no other one}Other selves? They sound like they’ve been hit on the head one too many times, t’be honest.
{Shrugs in return.}
Just a suggestion- you don’t have to play.
Huh, a lot of thieves around lately. What brings you here, anyway? A job?
[ tilts head, snorts. ]
I dunno, I’ve never met this other self of mine — I did meet a girl who claimed to be my female self. She was an irritating bitch though, so she probably lied.
[ KANYE SHRUG. ]
I know I don’t, but we might as well.
Besides, I like winning.
[ grins. ]
Yeah- none of the so called bad guys are happy about some of the publicity that’s been goin’ on. I, on the other hand, haven’t had a lot to worry about up until now.
Might wanna check out the site if you can.
{Scoffs- but in a humorous manner.}
Sounds like y’know what business I mentioned. No need to explain any further.
My real name.
{Pulls out an old deck from his pocket, shuffling it between his hands- as any normal person could probably do.}
They’re a good icebreaker game and fun with stakes.
[ short pause. ]
Bad guys. Which side are you on, then?
… — heh, nooo thanks. I mean, I don’t even know if it’s true. More likely, they know some of my other selves. That’s what they’ve been saying, anyway, as stupid as it sounds.
[ snickers and just shrugs in response, his attention turning to the cards. ]
Well, oookay then — dunno what I can offer you, though.
You think somethin’s goin’ on or did a few guys decide it’d be funny to put out our names on a list? Then again, m’just guessing that you’re in the business as well.
{Raises an eyebrow, but laughs.}
Most people have a hard time remembering how to pronounce my name.
Red Hood.
{Gives a curt nod.}
You play cards?
Dunno, don’t really care — if something’s going on, we’re gonna know. Someone suggested my name’s somewhere on the internet, though. Not a cool thought, especially since with so many people knowing, guy has to wonder what sort of a site it is.
[ snickers. ]
… depends on what business means but — yeah, I guess.
[ quirks eyebrow. ]
Gambit, or your real name?
… .. — sometimes. When the situation calls for it. Why?
From the looks of it, not much. Y’gotta understand, when you have that many people following you around you start to wonder what’s going on.
{Wears a lazy grin.}
Hey. I go by Gambit, easier that way. You are-?
Huh, I can imagine — I’ve had that yesterday. As a bonus, almost every single one of them knew my name; one even tried to force me into admitting he’s my big brother.
Creepy shit, man.
[ snorts. ]
The name’s Jason, but if we do aliases, you can call me Red Hood.
Missed one- same goes to you anyways.
Same goes to me? And what do you expect me to do?
[ crosses arms and snickers. ]
Anyway, hello — who’re you?
