Slugslinger says nothing about Swindle folding or even about his own hand, which he plants faces-down on the tabletop.
"What a load of dross," he declares, pointing at Swindle. "You made all that up!"

Cannonball can't help but cackle at both the story and Slugslinger's reaction.
"True or not, it's a good story. Anything that's about stickin' it to those glitched squids is alright in my book."

Swindle gives Slugslinger a hurt look, which quickly changes to a grin that can only be described as slag-eating. "Hey, now, just because you've never had incredible intergalactic adventures doesn't mean no-one else has. Sounds to me like you're just jealous," he says, pushing the pile of chips in the middle of the table toward the jetformer.

Slugslinger leans forward, seat creaking beneath him, shoulder vanes tilting over the table and the pile there like grasping claws.
"What I mean," he grumbles, "is that it sounds fake. Like something outta the entertainment files." He's sure he actually watched something just like it before, really, though he can't say for sure where or when. He doesn't dwell on how that bugs him; he's usually better at remembering things.

OOC: Skipping Cannonball due to time-out.
"It sounds unlikely, I'll admit, but we live in an infinite universe," Swindle states as he deals the next hand. "Everything's bound to happen somewhere, eventually. It's not my fault if some of the best things happen to me," he finishes as he flips Slugslinger his cards, smiling beatifically.

All Swindle gets in answer is a disgusted look as Slugslinger takes his cards. Privately, the jet can't help admiring his unrelenting aplomb; it takes talent to be that aggravating and do it with such an easygoing smile.
"Yeah, yeah… infinite whatever." That just reminds Slugslinger of Scourge's plan, and that puts him in a genuine funk. He seizes on another topic that doesn't trouble him quite so much (it still bugs him). "So you figure," he mumbles in a dimly speculative tone, squint and troubled expression making it clear he's straining his faculties, "if there's other usses out there, they're just like us?" He read about that mess with the odd mirror-universe counterparts, the evil Autobots and noble Decepticons. The idea of a do-gooder version of himself both amuses and puzzles him.
