Zwei - [Action + Voice]

[Kurt was on his way home from today's Brigade meeting, when he decided to opt for the shortcut home, teleporting to the top of building seven, appearing on the edge in a crouched position. or at least, that was the plan, until a surprised flaming mutant turkey suddenly lunged at him from nowhere.

This is surprising enough that he slips and falls off the building. Fortunately he quickly teleports the rest of the distance to the ground, landing with a thud on his back and his journal slipping out of his grip and opening up. For a moment, he stares up in shock at whatever that was until a moment later, it jumps down AFTER HIM and leans over him, inspecting the strange disappearing human.]


H-hey! Nice turkey! Trust me, you don't want to eat me, the fuzzy one doesn't taste so good, yeah?

[Anyone's free to see the events above unfold, or just find him afterward hanging out with the strange turkey outside of Building 7 until (or even after) Sapphire shows up to reclaim her Pokemon.]

The schoolteacher, Raine, told me that all of the adults helping before had departed. I haven't dealt with children that much, but...I want to help, anyway. Besides, I don't need the house anymore. It's too big.

[A brief, sad smile at that.]

[Terra nods to that quickly enough.]

Then I'll have to check. I'd rather be on a lower floor...and besides, it would be nice to know one of my neighbors already.

The 'fuzzy dude'?

[She smiles at that.]

I'll keep that in mind. I'm moving in with Setzer, a friend from home, and Sonic, a friend from here. I think you'll like Sonic, he's very friendly.

You do?

Well, I guess I shouldn't be surprised. He's made a lot of friends here.

[Terra chuckles softly at that.]

No, I guess not.

[She pauses and stares a moment, as though trying to decide something.]

I...I look different, too. Well, sometimes.

[Terra shakes her head.]

No....

[She glances around -out of habit- though the rooftop is private enough. After a moment of indecision, she steps back and transforms.]

[(ooc: Not really, but her elbows have some fur, for whatever reason. Going by the Dissidia model here.)]

Sort of...but I don't think you've heard of Espers, have you? I didn't sense you as one.

[And, point made, she doesn't want to make him uncomfortable. So, she reverts.]

Um, you can look back now.

[Terra shrugs sheepishly.]

I...can't really help that part. It just happens.

[One more reason not to show herself like that all the time.]

It's not exactly a secret, but I don't go telling everyone, you know? I want to fit in, too. And telling them what I am...I don't think that would make it possible.

[identity profile] esper-flight.livejournal.com 2010-09-10 07:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[A warm smile forms and she nods.]

Well, it seemed fair. I saw you, after all. And...I'm glad that I'm not alone, either. Even if you aren't an Esper, or half-Esper.

My roommates already know, so it's not as though you can't mention it around them. As for anyone else, it...ah, depends. Though if you wanted to tell your friend that you met someone like you, I understand. It doesn't sound like she would judge.

[Which is her main issue, really, so without that obstacle....]

[She tilts her head, curious.]

What is it?

[identity profile] esper-flight.livejournal.com 2010-09-10 09:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[How to explain....]

They're both real; neither side is an illusion. I'm half-human, which is why I can look like this...but I'm half-esper, too, which is why I can look...well, as you saw a moment ago.

[Her brow furrows, as she tries to imagine what that's like.]

That must be difficult to balance, sometimes.

[She twists the end of her ponytail, thoughtful.]

...though I wouldn't say that I fit in, anywhere. I wasn't raised with Espers -mostly- and I don't understand humans that well, either. And...I'm really the only mix between them.

[She looks a little wistful, at that.]

I wish it wasn't for me. I think I've gotten better, but....

[She shakes her head, not really wanting to talk about it anymore.]

I'm glad you're able to make friends now, though. And I hope you meet more people that you don't have to hide your appearance from.
