[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.]

[Well, he doesn't seem to disturbed, so Katara shrugs. She'll talk about it with Sokka later. Much later. After his head returns to his shoulders. Which could take a week.

Maybe she should see what Caesar is doing...]

Well, I guess it doesn't matter too much. Real or not in your world, we're all here now.

Yeah, I guess so. [He delves in deeper into the grocery store, looking at the products.]

Shopping for myself. This is going to be so weird.

[Katara starts picking up toiletries for their new guest.]

You didn't have to do stuff like this at home?

Oh, well... I live at the institute with the professor and some other students.... my friends I mentioned before. We usually do everything together. Going to school together, eating, shopping, and stuff like that. [Fighting giant robots, evil mutants, saving the world. You know. Teenager stuff.]

Oh. [A pause as she processes.] That sounds really nice.

Yeah, it really was. [He doesn't dwell on it. Starting over won't be so bad. It was only temporary anyway.] What is your home like? It doesn't sound like you're from my world... or at least not from the present.

[She shrugs.] I'm from the Southern Watertribe. I grew up in the South Pole. What about you?

[Isn't the South pole too cold?]

I was born in Germany. I like in America now, though. In a city called Bayville.

Are those the names of the countries in your world?

Oh, yes. Sorry, I guess you wouldn't know about them, would you?

[She laughs.] No, but that's all right. Does your world have a name?

Just Earth. Kind of a boring name, isn't it?

[Oh, another one!] Actually, you'd be surprised how many people come from a world called 'Earth.' My world doesn't have a name, so I think it's pretty interesting.

...[Hesitantly:] Your world doesn't have two moons, does it?

Not really. Earth is just another word for the ground, so really, it doesn't even have a name.

[He shakes his head, surprised at the question.] No, why?

Oh... the first person I met from Earth did. So I keep asking to find out if it's always like that... but so far she's the only one.

Anyway. Was it weird, moving from one country to another?

A little, yeah. Fortunately I already knew English, or it could have been really hard. [And being able to look like a normal human helped too.]

Oh, they speak different languages in your world? Huh. And you're used to things like microwaves and grocery stores...

Yes and yes... Are there no other languages in your world?

No, but the way Haruki tells it, my world is a lot smaller than Earth. He's from Japan, on an Earth. A lot of people from Earth seem to be from Japan, actually...

Oh? Japan? That's a country in my world, but I've never been there. [What makes it so popular for Luceti?]

It sounds like a nice place. Haruki said they hadn't had any war since his grandfather's time.

We haven't had war in Germany since the second world war seventy years ago, but in the rest of the world... ah, not so much.

Mmm, I'm sorry to hear that.

Don't worry about it. [Oh look. The sodas.] This is what you're here for, then.

[She nods, and loads a couple more in her basket.] This and some frozen bread dough... and maybe I should make a desert. I don't know...

Anyway - any more questions about Luceti?
