Zehn - [Voice]

[Well, Kurt is at home with nothing to do. He's finished his homework, goofed off in the Battle Dome, and isn't quite up to crashing in on his friends and seeing what they're up to. Apparently that's annoying. So he has only one alternative - watch movies he's already seen several times or be entertained by Luceti's populace. Which means getting a discussion going. Something simple and mindless to talk about.]

Okay, so everyone. You're on a boat and it shipwrecks on a deserted island. You can only take one thing with you from home. What is it?

... ohh, right, and if you have any kind of superpowers that would get you off the island, those don't count. Or for making new stuff and- actually, yeah, no superpowers at all. Just stuff you bring!

Kurt Wagner. Nice to meet you.

So how good are you? [It sounds like she was in some kind of art school, so...]

Ah, w-well...I improved a little bit during my time here. Uhm, hold on. [She moves away from the camera before the sound of rustling papers can be heard, as well as some mumbling. Soon after, a painting (http://www.destructoid.com/elephant//ul/41116-okami.jpg) is laid down.] It's not my best, really, but...

[Kurt is impressed all the same, even with your SHODDY ART skills.]

Wow. If that's not your best, your regular stuff must be amazing!

Ah, you're really very kind, thank you...but it's really nothing like that at all! I'm still learning, after all, and there are a lot of people better than I am.

Well yeah, but there's always better people. Doesn't mean you're not good, yeah?

Ah, I-I guess you're right. And I have been improving. Heh, I guess it's just a little hard doing on my own...

[She always used to have people to help or tell her how to get better. Or, in the case of Issun, someone to playfully compete with sometimes. But, let's move the conversation off her for now, it's a bit uncomfortable.]

Mm...excuse me for being rude, mister Kurt, but are you an imp? You kind of remind me of the ones back home.

[... a sigh. He's used to these questions, but he still hates them anyway.]

No, I'm a mutant. I'm human... I just look like this.

...I'm sorry. [She can tell from that sigh, and his tone, that her question upset him, and that wasn't her intent.] But if it's any help at all, you're a very kind person, Kurt.

Yeah, thanks. [He's TOO nice. He knows it. He deals with it.] Don't worry, I get questions like that a lot. I can't really blame people for it.

Well, I am still very sorry... I didn't mean to upset you. [Gods, does she feel guilty, even if he says not to worry.] You'll find, though, that people here don't really mind what others look like so much. I just met you, and I can tell you're good-natured.

[He laughs, a bit forced.] Yeah, that's what everyone tells me!
