Sechzehn - [Action/Accidental Video]

[May 12th. Do you know what that is? Well, it's the publication month of Nightcrawler's comic debut and the last two digits of the year, 1975, added up to make the day. It's Kurt's birthday! He's eighteen. Kind of. Sort of. He arrived in Luceti in roughly the same month as it was back home, so while it may be a few days off of being a real year since his last birthday, it's close enough!

So he's got things to do today. And what with Rogue being family she gets to be a part of it. After school and the Brigade meeting/slave labor, there's some cake at home - made by Rogue even. And then he'll manage to use her good will to talk her into some Battle Dome times. Although it's not exactly his preferred genre, he convinces her to play out a classic Western in the Dome, playing as sheriff and deputy against some bandits. (Yeah, he's the sheriff.) Too bad he pretty much has no sense of aim at all with a gun, even if it is a simulated one.

Dinner? That's at Seventh Heaven. He's hoping he can order some good old classic burger bomb and cheese fries.. The more Fast Food-esque, the better. He'll probably have to settle for them being cooked well and being real food. Well, no one said Luceti was perfect. Sometimes you just can't get the greasy fast food you want.]


[After that, at the Rec Center, they'll just play some good old fashioned games. Kurt's pretty good at air hockey, but he soon discovers Rogue is waaaay too good at pool. Which leads to him trying to press his natural advantage as he BAMFS and hangs from the ceiling above the table, trying to make a very tricky while upside down. And wouldn't you know it, before he teleported, he stepped back on his school bag and knocked his journal out and open to start recording.]

--what do you think you're doin'?

What does it look like? I'm trying to make a shot!

That is cheatin', Kurt. Get your butt back down here. That is no way ta play pool.

It's not cheating! I'm still hitting the ball with the stick, yeah? It's totally fair!

Part of the game is working the angles from the ground.

Come on, that is so lame!" [He bamfs back to the ground.] "There's no way I can hit it like this.

Sure ya can. Ya just need ta work the angles an' hit the ball right." ... "An' loosen up on that stick. You're holding it too tight.

[Reluctantly Kurt gives in. He still needs to go over the balls, so while he aims with one hand, he steadies the other end of his pool stick... with his tail. Over his head.]

Kurt!

((ooc: Dual post in progress, so get your tags from Kurt and [livejournal.com profile] touchofrogue. Hit 'em up at any of the locations or just do the journal thing if you want. For the Battle Dome, you can run into 'em before or after they play out the scenario (or just sit up in the viewing area and watch it.) Also, housemates and fellow Brigade members would probably already know it's his birthday, but not so much others.))

Your definition of 'cool' needs work. [She remarks wryly as she studies the simulated black hat he provided.]

Nah. [She checks the barrel, locks it, and swings the shotgun into the sheath on her back with an easy familiarity.] The deputies get ta carry the shotguns.

[And a brace of extra bullets strapped across her chest, and a Colt revolver hung low and tied down to her right thigh. She'd have preferred a Sig, but it was Kurt's game and he was all about authenticity.]

Now see, that's what this place is missin'. Val Kilmer. That would almost make this whole thing worth it.

[Yes. Rogue just did confuse 'Gunsmoke' with 'Tombstone.' On purpose? Who knows?]

[OHGAWD STRANGER, SAVE HER.

Or save him. Because birthday or not, Rogue is about this close to just walking away. And then Kurt will try to follow her. And then she'll have to kill him.]


Friend of yours?

Did it have Clint Eastwood? [Because he was acceptable eyecandy in his younger years.]

Good evening, Kurt.

[even if the girl he is with doesn't seem...friendly.]

Someone should be allowed to play however they want on their birthday!

[Actually, watching pool-by-BAMF is kind of awesome to watch. Too bad the view isn't very good.]

[You all exchange brackets of how unpleasant she is as much as you want - it just means she's doing her job.

As it is, Rogue nods in her direction - cute girl, friendly = a break from Star Trek - and smiles politely.]


Haven't seen you around before. New here?

[personal profile] frost_jewel 2011-05-13 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
It's nice to meet you, Rogue. [polite to a fault. ...With strangers.] I am new. ...I think it has been almost a week now.
touchofrogue: (Not Like the Other Girls)

[Voice] he even sparkles!

[personal profile] touchofrogue 2011-05-13 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
[Rogue frowns.]

If ya do that, you're not playin' pool. Just 'how can I get the ball in the hole.'
touchofrogue: (Uncertain About This)

[personal profile] touchofrogue 2011-05-13 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
[She follows him into the office, glancing up at the rooftops and into the windows as she does so.]

It doesn't have Val Kilmer. Or Clint Eastwood. An' it's a Western. Why would I watch this again?
