Ein - [Action/Voice]

[Although Kurt arrived early in the day, walking around the village was not an option. So he was left with little choice but to wait around until evening, listening in on the journals for clues as to what happened to him. Clearly he wasn't the only recent arrival and he learned quite a big from his fellow New Feathers having the situation explained to them. So, in the dead of night, Kurt finally enters the village, teleporting from one room to another. His first stop is the clothing store. After finding some discreet, normal outfit (opting to come back for his X-Men uniform later), he leaves and goes to the item store to find his holo watch. If anyone happens to run into him during the dead of night, they'll find that he's keeping to the shadows and has himself covered in a robe. He'll talk if he's found, at least at first. But he's not keen to reveal himself and will teleport away immediately.

The next morning, though, Kurt will be walking around town in the appearance of a normal human kid, exploring the various parts of the towns, mostly the shops and Welcome Center. Later, he even makes a voice post, sounding just a bit timid as he does so.]

Hello everyone, my name is Kurt. I ah, arrived yesterday. I was wondering if any of my friends were already here? [Seemed reasonable to ask... so many other people arrived to people who already knew them.]

[... This is so strange.]

So I'm on a TV show in your world? ... Is it popular?

[Action]

[bamfing]

Ah... not so much anymore. Not since the eighties. There were movies too. [He thinks for a moment.] And a live action show for awhile... it was ah, not so good. Nobody liked the girl turtle that much.

[Action]

[i_speak_softly]

The eighties? I was barely even alive in the eighties.

[A long, stunned silence.] There is no "girl turtle".

[Action]

[bamfing]

Exactly! It was an awful show. There was even a Power Rangers crossover. [He shakes his head at that.] What a way to let a popular series die.

[Action]

[i_speak_softly]

... Maybe we should start over, since the writers seem to have taken some liberties. I'm Donatello. I'm sixteen. I have three brothers, one of whom is here. We have an enemy who calls himself the Shredder but he doesn't have the minions you think he does.

Your turn.

[Action]

[bamfing]

Ah, yeah. Good idea...

I'm Kurt Wagner, from Germany. I'm seventeen, raised by my foster parents. I moved to America three years ago when Professor Xavier discovered my mutant ability. I'm one of the X-Men now.

[Action]

[i_speak_softly]

Sounds about right. And you didn't find any of your friends here?

[Action]

[bamfing]

I looked in the journals... and around town today. I didn't see them. I think I'll ask in the morning. [When he's less conspicuous.]

[Action]

[i_speak_softly]

Good plan. [One last poke at the bin, to see if there's anything he wants for himself.] Ready to go?

[Action]

[bamfing]

Sure. But we'll have to walk. I don't know where you live. [Which is a real shame. Walking is for squares.]

[Action]

[i_speak_softly]

[He thinks about this for a minute.]

Because you can only teleport to places you've seen.

[Action]

[bamfing]

Or places I can see. It's risky otherwise. I could appear inside a wall or something.

[Action]

[i_speak_softly]

It's pretty amazing you can do it at all. With or without quantum double-occupancy disasters.

Anyway - [He moves towards the door.] - it's not far.

[Action]

[bamfing]

Uh. Yeah... [That went over his head entirely. It's like hearing Forge talk about his powers again.]

Lead the way.

[Action]

[i_speak_softly]

[He's used to that.]

[Never mind the path; Don will head straight down the bank of the river.]

Have you eaten anything?

[Action]

[bamfing]

[Paths are for losers. Kurt will follow along, sometimes opting for all fours to keep up.]

Not for awhile. [He may have 'stolen' some food earlier.]

[Action]

[i_speak_softly]

[Don mostly believes that the ground is for losers, but there are no buildings here and running through the trees seems like overkill.]

You're welcome to raid the fridge.

[Action]

[bamfing]

[The spaces in between locations are for real losers, so there.]

You have my thanks, Donatello.

[Action]

[i_speak_softly]

[Touché.]

It's not a problem. I don't know how many people Derek thinks he's cooking for, but there's always leftovers.

[Their route links up with the path, where it comes over the bridge.]

It's just down here.

[Action]

[bamfing]

Derek? I don't remember anyone like that from the show...

[Action]

[i_speak_softly]

Hm? Oh, no, he's not one of ours. He's from somewhere else. Nice guy. You can trust him.

[Action] /matching icons?

[bamfing]

Oh, oh. Right. And then there's... Casey, right?

[Action] Damn you're good

[i_speak_softly]

[Oh, now this he has to hear.]

Right, our friend Casey Jones. What does your TV show say about him?

[Action] /just as planned

[bamfing]

I don't remember him being in the show... He was in the movies, though. He used to be a hockey player, I think?

[Action]

[i_speak_softly]

For a little while. Then he got injured and couldn't play seriously anymore.

[He slows to a walk as they approach the house.]

I don't know who will be awake. I haven't been around much lately.
