[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.]

... you're taking this Pokemon things way too seriously.

Too seriously?!

- ya can't be from my world! I can't believe that anyone would say that!

I'm not kidding around, Sapphire! Pokemon is out for a few hours a day, but you can't dedicate your life to it!

...ya're sure we're even talkin' about the same thing anymore?

[The way you're using the word just...isn't quite right. "Pokemon" rather than "training"? It's weird.]

[He tilts his head.]

The video game, yeah?

The what game?

[Technology - I don't pay attention to it.]

Video game. Like gameboy, you know.

...nah, I don't know what ya're talkin' about.

[She appears completely sincere about this.]

Of 'coz I know what a video is, but ya're not makin' sense past that.

Well uh... it's also a card game too?

[....giving you the side-eye here, man]

I guess ya really haven't ever seen a Pokemon, then.

[Wait a second...]

... Pokemon are real in your world?

Of 'coz they are! Ya thought I'd talk that much about something that didn't exist?!

Well I've known some people like that before.

That's dumb.

[She's an eensy bit peeved with you now, Kurt.]

It's just a fictional game in my world. And toys... a TV show, and so forth. It's really popular, some people just take it too far. It would be different if they were real, like in your world.

Uh, right....

..how can "Pokemon" be a game? Do ya mean battles?

You really have never heard of a video game, have you?

A "video" an' a "game", but not a "video game"! An' I know that a Pokemon couldn't be a game if ya tried!

Ohh boy. [Exasperated sigh.] Let's just say it's not real in my world, okay? That's all there really is to it.

...Sure, I got ya.

[Echoing that sigh there.]

That's one more to a list. How can there be so many of those...?

If there's a world for every singe TV show or video game out there... a whole lot.

I meant a world where Pokemon don't exist. With these "animals" like the ones in Luceti - how do people even get by? How do ya get from town ta town?

We use cars, of course. And planes, boats, all kinds of stuff. People used to ride horses, but they just aren't as fast as what technology can provide.

...jus' for gettin' around every day, ya use that kinda thing? But cars gotta have...roads...

[...this is dawning comprehension sort of. frozen between frames because you cannot actually be saying that can you]
