Professor Xavier,

We haven't met but I'm wondering if you'd like to put your abilities to use on Arima. I have a plan that will be to our benefit and it could use a telepath. It shouldn't be very complicated for you and will probably just take an evening. If you're interested I'll explain the details.

Sincerely,
Kate Bishop

[forgodssake]

Well, you have my attention. What do you need a telepath for?

[alsohawkeye]

Last night I stumbled on a shady back room gambling den. I'd like to take advantage of the opportunity. I don't know about you, but my locker didn't come with any currency and I'm short on anything these locals are willing to trade for.

[forgodssake]

Specifically shady, was it?
And no, nothing I'm willing to part with. Cards? Dice? Cock fights?

[alsohawkeye]

It definitely had a specific air of shadiness. Rooms full of dirty money look about the same anywhere, it turns out. Mostly cards here, and that's what I'm interested in. I'm sure you can see where I'm going with this.

[forgodssake]

You wish to mercilessly cheat unwitting locals with possible violent and certainly ill tempered proclivities towards foreigners for cash and profit using the power of telepathy.

[alsohawkeye]

I knew they didn't call you 'professor' for nothing. What do you say?

[forgodssake]

Sure, why ever not.

[alsohawkeye]

Excellent. I'm sure I can handle whatever might come up but I'm recruiting some additional muscle just in case, if you had any concerns there.

[forgodssake]

Glad you've thought of everything.
On the proviso we all do exactly as I say as necessary, then we have a deal, Ms Bishop.

[alsohawkeye]

Oh, just that one tiny little caveat?

Alright, good. I'll be in touch when I've got our third, but I'm aiming for later tonight. The place I have in mind is pretty upscale from the front, so dress like you're used to cutting past the velvet rope line, if possible.
