Mini-Vacation from your Vacation, chere?

[freeadvice]

Where: The sea?
When: 10/01 - 10/08
What: Specifically, Rogue and Gambit have a good time in the rain. And other week shenanigans.
Warnings: Cute where it has no place being
Style: whatever
Status: Closed


The Stargazer is a humble little sailboat, enough room for three and right now they're at maximum capacity with an extra guest. Who is stuck on board for a week. While Gambit expects the Princess and Rogue to get along real good - he's not so sure about how the next seven days will pan out. They'll just have to find out...

I suppose so.

[She'd kept well out of it, at least. The last thing she needs now is to embarrass herself. Luna takes to wing, kicking a few of the clouds to vapor, before an idea occurs to her.]

Have you ever walked upon a cloud?

[freeadvice]

Can' say dat I have...

Didn' know it was somethin' t'be done.

[He has no idea what's about to happen. But he's crazy enough to want to let it.]

Why?

[raisethemoon]

'Tis a natural ability of pegasi - or those with wings, in my case. But I know a spell to allow anyone to do so, for a few hours at least.

[Do you wanna go cloudwalking?]

[freeadvice]

....Oh really?

[That smile says yes.]

[raisethemoon]

Indeed. Wouldst thou care to try?

[freeadvice]

[Death-defying feats of stupidity? His middle name. Actually it's Etienne, but still.]

Where do I sign?

[He's very used to someone speaking with the ye olde world speech patterns, weirdly enough.]

[raisethemoon]

No such need! Simply remain still!

[She moves closer and lowers her horn. Gambit will find his body surrounded by the same blue glow as her horn for a few moments. It might tingle a little.]

[freeadvice]

I'll have y'know dat standin' still is a big deal for me...

[He says it as a bit of a joke but he does have a nice little reputation for bouncing around like he was on something. Remy simply stares at the glowing and really the only thought he has is that blue looks really weird on him.]

I ain' gonna grow a pair o'wings now, am I?

[raisethemoon]

[Luna pauses in whatever she's doing.]

...would you prefer that? Magic-fueled wings are temporary, and terribly flimsy.

[freeadvice]

[Remy hesitates between 'wait you can do that?' and ' i was joking' before realizing she's serious.]

No, no! M'good.

[Wings don't sound as fun as floating.

... Or whatever he's going to do when she's done.]

[raisethemoon]

Good. I do not trust those wings.

[And there! She's done. Gambit may feel slightly more floaty, but he's certainly not going to lift off the ground on his own power anytime soon.]

Though I will have to lift you up myself.

[freeadvice]

[Remy feels floaty and a little giggly. Like he's just eaten a lot of sugar and is literally going to start bouncing off the walls. Which he kind of starts to do, bouncing on the balls of his feet - waiting to see the clouds.]

I don' mind if you don', Lune.

[...Well it seems he's settled on a "nickname" for Luna. Does it count as a nickname if it's just the person's name in a different language?]

[raisethemoon]

[Eyebrow raise at the nickname. She does not, as a rule, recieve nicknames. But okay...that's a friendly thing, right.]

Come along, then!

[And up we go! She'll fly up with him, and drop him lightly on the cloud before landing there herself.]

[freeadvice]

[He doesn't so much mind the trip up there...it's when they've arrived that he has a momentary freak-out:

Remy shouts something in Cajun-French that isn't particularly nice or translatable as she drops him, his lizard-brain kicking in and saying 'CLOUD NOT GOOD FOR SOLID GROUND ABORT MISSION'.

But once his feet feel pressure underneath them he relaxes visibly and smiles real big because this?]

Dis is amazin'!

[Remy LeBeau: Actual Child.]

[raisethemoon]

Is it not?

[There's a part of Luna that still thinks pegasus magic is pretty darn cool, and she prances in place a little gleefully.]

[freeadvice]

[He'll never admit to giggling but he is. This is a kind of freedom he's never gotten to experience before and it's...well, he could get addicted to this.]

Man, I could stay up here for hours.

[He wishes he could trade in his powers for flight. That would be pretty cool.]

[raisethemoon]

You ought to be able to shape the clouds as well! Just do not squeeze them too tightly, there may be some stray electricity therein.

[freeadvice]

[The temptation to do just that and squeeze too tightly is great, but he manages to refrain - only just swipes his hand through the clouds before finding that he can indeed shape them.

He laughs happily and starts mindlessly packing it together tightly into a little ball.]

D'ya do dis a lot?
