I’m not going to start by asking twenty questions, I assume those that've been here longer must be sick of them. [So there’s bound to be a few people here that might recognise his voice, though he doesn't know who and if there actually is anyone from home. Some of the standard questions that come to mind he has the answers to already from looking back. Others, well he doesn't want to unleash a bombardment of questions when he’s first introducing himself to people. After all, that can come later and when they wish they just ignored him.]

So I’ll just ask if there’s anything worth knowing that people feel like sharing. Maybe someone could even tell me where a good place to get some decent coffee is.

[He might sound cheery, but those good enough to pick things up might realise that his tone isn't quiet ringing true. He doesn't want to inconvenience people he doesn't know with his own problems, so best not to make anyone think there’s something wrong.]

Oh, I’m Kurt by the way.

Questions?

I don't mind questions.

[Not if it gets people talking to him or with each other.]

[fuzzyelf]

[Oh, well if someone doesn't mind questions, he won't mind so much asking them. In moderation.]

I guess it doesn't really matter if you're an..import [He's pretty sure he got that right.] or native, either way you'd probably know. What's being going on recently exactly, anything I should know and be prepared for? [He's gone back, but he hasn't gone back too far, and if there's this whole thing about 'heroes' then obviously there's the bad guys, right? His knowledge is really lacking at the moment.]

[restingstitchface]

I'm fairly new myself. I've come across a fair few things and can certainly fill you in.

Shouldn't be a surprise, but there's a swearing-in ceremony before the end of the week.

Now. Murders. That's the worst of them. A psychopath calling himself Lunatic [how original] killed at least one individual in cold blood. Wasn't here for that one, but it was a mess, far as I've learned. To be honest, who knows if it won't happen again? It's made me quite wary of wandering around with my back turned.

[fuzzyelf]

[He should be used to people who have to the point names or ones that lack imagination but whenever he hears one (not from good guys of course...) then it's always a cringe moment. Well, mostly always. In this case it certainly is.]

Don't blame you. Is he based anywhere specifically or has it just been one instance and he's gone under? [Kurt hadn't expected to hear something like that and it's made everything here seem more real. Like it isn't some sort of bizarre dream he'll wake up from.]

[Someone seems to be excited.]

I'd be the bamf mutant. Your dog, huh?

Re: [ text ]

[bestversion]

his name is lockjaw. he can teleport too! so you two should totally meet sometime!

Re: [ text ]

[fuzzyelf]

Lockjaw? Maybe do an obstacle course and show off.

[debauchewy]

Hmm- I could, but it's so much better with company. [Then again, what isn't.]

audio/

[fuzzyelf]

Being honest, I don't think I would mind company too much. Should at least get to know some of the people here.

audio/

[debauchewy]

Why- smart move. I think you'll get along here well, as long as you stay so open minded. Kurt was it then? [Introductions are so cute.]

Were you this friendly back home?

audio/

[fuzzyelf]

I usually am quite open minded about things in general, and it was, yes.

Back home I already had a network of people and I knew the area I lived in quite well. I think approachable is a better word.

[glassbox]

About time another mutant showed up.

Assuming it's voice? If not I can change it.

[fuzzyelf]

Not a lot of us around? [He wouldn't actually be surprised.]

it is voice!

[glassbox]

Sometimes. We come an' go a lot.

[ A little pause. ]

Y'don't remember me, huh? Or ever bein' here. I'm Lil. Diamond Lil.

Woo!

[fuzzyelf]

Doesn't sound reassuring.

Lil? [There's a more genuine expression of happiness coming through now.] Of course I remember you. I don't remember ever being here before though.

... Hi, Mr. Wagner.

I don't really drink a lot of coffee.

voice;

[fuzzyelf]

[ The voice isn't familiar and for that he will apologise, but he can guess it's a student. Young voice and use of mister. ]

Well if you drink as much as ive started to recently, I'd be worried for you. Mr. Wagner, were you at Xavier's?

voice;

[fridgeflower]

Yeah, um. Laurie Collins. Wallflower. I was on the New Mutants squad, one of Dani's advisees.

voice

[rathercommon]

What's a mutant?

[ And then, not sounding all that guilty - ]

Sorry for eavesdropping.

voice

[fuzzyelf]

[Aw it's cool, he's not mad or anything. He gathers people would want to know that...well don't.]

Oh, well a mutant is someone that has the X-Gene, it means that those with the gene have abilities that eventually present themselves. [If you're wanting a more in-depth answer, he's not really the person to talk to.]

voice

[rathercommon]

[ A little nod - ]

So...It's like being a superhero, then?

voice;

[totalpacifist]

Nice to meet you, Kurt. I'm X.

Has anyone given you the FAQ yet? I've found it's pretty informative.

voice;

[fuzzyelf]

Likewise, X.

Oh, that sounds like it would be helpful. It's not something I've been made aware of actually.

voice;/text;

[totalpacifist]

It helps a little at least, let me get you a link...

[[ LINK: FAQ ]]

For the coffee, I don't drink it but I'm told Starbucks is incredibly overpriced but also essential to life.
