Acht - [Action/Voice]

[One minute, Kurt was in the middle of hanging out in his room in the evening, literally upside down, reading through a book. The next, he suddenly found himself wondering why he was wasting time with books. Landing on the ground, he tosses the book aside and regards himself in a nearby mirror. He's in the same ragged clothing he's used to. He pulls the hood over his face, obscuring his features, and teleports out of the room.

After the sun goes down, a hooded figure will be prowling through the streets. His walk is a little odd, as he walks only on his toes. His tail lashes about freely behind him, often latching around objects to forcefully pull them down. He doesn't care much for regular humans, so any he comes across are likely to get a scowl. Although his face cannot be seen under the hood, his eyes will light up whenever he spots someone. He's also out to do some thievery, particularly whatever can be looted from outside a window without needing to go in. Or maybe he'll just drop by the bar and see if he can't get himself something to drink. It's not like the bartenders will withhold alcohol from something that doesn't even look human, right?

After getting bored, he decides to leave a message on the journals. Notably, his voice lacks the usual soft spoken German accent, but is now a harder, northern American accent.]


I'm getting sick of this hole. What's there to do around here for some real fun?

((ooc: AU information here. Yes, he'll be answering to a different name. He remembers Luceti and the people he's met here, although naturally these memories are a bit twisted. Also, if you want to let him steal anything, let me know. He'll be sure to give it back once he's his old self. Also, no special alt journal! Use your ~imagination~ to see him as looking a lot grungier than usual. He isn't in uniform.))

[Gotcha. He releases the trigger on the grenade, squeezing his eyes shut as tight as he could as he slammed it against the "Nightcrawler." A blinding flash explodes outward, suddenly lighting the side of the building up like high noon in the summer. This guy has to see to be able to 'port correctly, Terry figured, blinding him even if temporarily would have to trip him up at least some. If not...waste of a perfectly good flashbomb.]

[Terry opened his eyes and quickly fell into the hunter instincts. The wannabe burglar had poofed away, but now he would be stuck trying to blink away world's second largest white spot. His night vision would be fried for now and he'd have to go to ground to recover. Quickly, Batman scaled up the remainder for the fire escape to the rooftop to perform a quick cursory survey. He might not have caught the guy, but he could live with at least putting him out of commission for the night.]

[After doing a thorough scan over of the area from the rooftop, Terry let out a sigh and leaned against the rooftop exit, wincing at the jolt of pain but chuckling roughly under his breath.] Gotcha, ya' frakker.
[His shoulder would be throbbing and more than swollen with a black bruise come morning, but he got the job done. One thing that was universal: whether super, meta, or mutant, criminals always had an ego to protect. Terry McGinnis was just the one who was willing to go far enough to jab at it.

He slowly undid the bandana from his face and removed his hooded shirt, facing the cold night air momentarily as he turned it inside out, hiding the red emblem. Zipping it back up, he opened the door to the apartment complex proper and stepped in from the cold. Maybe now he could finally get some shut eye.]
