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.]

Oh. [A little disappointed.] Manhattan. Two thousand-five.

[A pause. Aren't you done yet? Humans and clothes...]

Do you have a place to stay?

The future, then... [So maybe Apocalypse didn't end the world? Or maybe he just ended most of it. As for the clothing, he hasn't picked out anything else since Donnie showed up. He does, however, finally rise to his feet again.]

I will find something. [Somewhere nice and private, he hopes.]

To some. My brother is from two thousand-seven.

[Still loitering in the doorway.] Listen... it's pretty late to be looking at housing options. I have a couch I'm not using...

[Oh snap. How does he get out of this without seeming rude?]

It would be better I didn't... There are plenty of empty apartments.

[Huh. He seems to have a knack for running into New Feathers who like their personal space.]

... You've figured out the journals.

Yes, they were very useful.

[As nice as this conversation is, he'd really like to go find his holowatch now...]

[Six months. That's all it's taken for him to almost forget how harrowing it is to meet a new person. Not that he knows you have the same problem.]

They are. If you need any help, you can direct a message to Donatello.

[He'll get out of your way now, moving from the doorway into the plaza. But he doesn't go far.]

Like the turtle. [He says this in a bit of amusement, more of a joke than a real accusation.] Or the painter?

[Somehow, Don manages to freeze, despite the fact he wasn't moving.] .... I'm sorry?

I guess you've never seen the Ninja Turtles. Nevermind. [That new show he had heard about, but never watched, must have tanked horribly.]

No, wait a minute. [He moves back toward you.] Does our reputation get around that quickly?

'Our reputation'? What do you mean? [He backs away just a bit, bumping into the shelf below him.]

You've heard about us? You've only been here a few hours...

Of course I have, who hasn't heard of-- what do you mean us?

Me and Raph! He's done something, hasn't he. Or someone has warned you about something he already did.

[... Kurt is silent for a moment before he finally gets it. He starts laughing.]

I get it! You are pretending to be the Turtles. That's funny. Is the Shredder around? What about the rhino and warthog guys?

[What the what.]

Who are you?

[... oh, he goes serious again. He doesn't want to give his real name, especially if he can find his holo-watch later.]

You can call me Nightcrawler.

Very funny. Who are you really?

That is who I am. [A pause though.] It is just a name. I'm not actually a worm.

[For a moment Don stands still. Then he moves towards the door, and puts his hand on the lightswitch.]

Before I turn this on, tell me one thing - does the name "X-Men" mean anything to you?

[Kurt crouches down, ready to teleport away. He can't be seen like that. But yet...]

You know of the X-Men? [He's not that surprised. Magneto made sure everyone knew about them. Even so...]

Everyone knows the X-Men. I've read the comics. And you've seen me on TV or something. [The light snaps on.] Welcome to the nexus.

[He blinks at the sudden light. Fortunately for him, the hooded robe he has on is obscuring his features. He does tilt his head at seeing Donatello. And what did he mean by comics?]

... you look so real.

[Hm. Still not ready to show your face? Don will pretend to be very interested in a rack of hats.]

Happens in these worlds-between-worlds. People you thought were fictional, tell you they aren't. [Picks up a hat, considers it, puts it back.] Watch Star Trek? Half the crew is here.

[He turns away from the headgear.] What's up with this "warthog guy", though?
