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.]

[Oho, so she is a pretty girl. She'll see him smiling back as she waves.]

Yeah, I'll be there! [Even though he's derping off elsewhere. Ah, the wonders of teleporting.]

[She takes note of what he looks like as well, but in a more general way. At least he looks like a guy. Sometimes she can't tell here.]

All right, I'll see you then!

[And in about twenty minutes, there she is, walking up to the grocery store.]

[Kurt had been in the library, but when he notices he's running late, he decides to take a shortcut and appears behind the grocery store. He comes walking around it quickly, not realizing he accidentally took a book with him without checking it out. He quickly spots Katara and waves. Hopefully the direction he came from won't seem odd.]

Hi! You're Katara, right?

[She nods, smiling as she looks him over - not hurt, not threatening - pay no mind to the waterskin slung over her back and the knife tucked into her belt, and the nifty bracelet on her upper arm.]

Kurt? Nice to meet you. Welcome to Luceti.

[The knife catches his attention. Most girls he knows don't carry around sharp metal objects except as a fashion statement.]

Thank you, though it doesn't seem to be the best place to be welcomed to. [He smiles a little uneasily. She's dressed way differently than what he's used to.] Sorry I'm late. I was at the library. [... which is in the other direction from which he came from.]

[As for most of the summer, Katara has been varying between her Watertribe Fire Nation clothes and some dyed blue variants of her original Fire Nation ensemble. Today, though, she's in the original red. Clashes a bit with that blue necklace around her neck, doesn't it?

She notices his gaze on her knife and keeps her hands well away from it, even though the knife isn't where the true threat lies. She was about to explain to him why she keeps it with her, but then he mentions the library and Katara gives him a bit of an odd look.]

The library is in that direction. [She points. And... notices the book too. Huh. The kid has special abilities, maybe? Wouldn't be the first time...]

[Maybe a little, but people don't dress according to their nation where he's from, so it's little more than an oddity for him. He himself is fairly nondescript, simply wearing a simple button up shirt. Or at least, that's what the illusion implies. He does look a bit sheepish when she corrects him.]

I ah... tried to take a shortcut. I'm still getting used to the place, is all. [He tries to quickly change the subject.] You wanted soda, right?

[...well, she doesn't completely by that, but figures it's something she could always circle back to later. After all, she didn't meet him to make him uncomfortable.]

Yeah - and a few other things for dinner. I'd invite you over too, but it's a bit of a special day. We've got time to get you set up, though! [She starts heading towards the grocery store.] And even though the Seventh Heaven is closed right now, there's still the cafe and the pizzeria too, if you don't feel like cooking at your place. Did you pick out a spot yet?

[He raises his hands in front of him.] Oh no! You don't have to invite me! I'm just glad for the company, that's all. This place is still very new, after all. [He wouldn't bother with groceries for now otherwise.] I was going to go to the Welcome Center later and see what would be best to move into.

[She nods.] That's a good idea. Rydia should be there - she's very nice. She was one of the first people who greeted me when I came here.

[As they enter the store, Kurt will politely hold the door open for her. Even growing up as a blue freak, his parents still instilled him with manners. Well, mostly. They never got him past the BAMF-ing in front of people thing.]

Ah, well hopefully she'll be there today.

She usually is, during New Feather season. [Katara, not having grown up where there are a lot of doors. Or a lot of just... other people, doesn't really get the whole 'hold the door open for the lady' thing. But she goes in with a smile of thanks.]

So what do you think of Luceti so far?

[A smile is all he was hoping for, really, as he follows her in.]

It's all so confusing. Things that are not real in my world are very real here. I keep thinking I might wake up, you know?

[She nods.] I know that feeling. The first time I walked into this grocery store, I thought my eyes were going to fall out of my head! Who knew that food could come in boxes? And then when the microwave showed up... [She just shakes her head.]

[... he just gives her the most puzzled look ever.]

... that's not quite what I had in mind.

Oh? Then what were you thinking about?

Ninja Turtles. They are only a television show in my world... but then I met Donatello in person. It was strange, to say the least.

What - really?

[Because she knows them and has fought with them... occasionally literally in Raphael's case... and they are very much real.]

[He simply nods.]

Yeah. At this rate, I wouldn't be surprised to run into Superman or Darth Vader.

[Still... processing.

Uh. Wait.]

Uh... Superman? Guy with a red cape? Friends with Batman and Wonder Woman?

[Given that she doesn't seem to know about TVs or... boxed food, he makes a rather obvious conclusion here.]

... so they're here too.

[She nods, slowly. This is so weird.]

Diana is really nice. I haven't really spoken with the other two, much.

... wow, this is really going to take getting used to.

[Katara pauses to think things through... Diana not real?]

Well, in this place we recently had something happen where... we could see things that weren't real about our own realities. Maybe the reason why you saw people who are here in your television is something like that - bits and pieces of other realities leaking into yours?

Oh man. [He scratches his head at all that.] I think I saw that in a movie once.
