Sechzehn - [Action/Accidental Video]
[May 12th. Do you know what that is? Well, it's the publication month of Nightcrawler's comic debut and the last two digits of the year, 1975, added up to make the day. It's Kurt's birthday! He's eighteen. Kind of. Sort of. He arrived in Luceti in roughly the same month as it was back home, so while it may be a few days off of being a real year since his last birthday, it's close enough!
So he's got things to do today. And what with Rogue being family she gets to be a part of it. After school and the Brigade meeting/slave labor, there's some cake at home - made by Rogue even. And then he'll manage to use her good will to talk her into some Battle Dome times. Although it's not exactly his preferred genre, he convinces her to play out a classic Western in the Dome, playing as sheriff and deputy against some bandits. (Yeah, he's the sheriff.) Too bad he pretty much has no sense of aim at all with a gun, even if it is a simulated one.
Dinner? That's at Seventh Heaven. He's hoping he can order some good old classic burger bomb and cheese fries.. The more Fast Food-esque, the better. He'll probably have to settle for them being cooked well and being real food. Well, no one said Luceti was perfect. Sometimes you just can't get the greasy fast food you want.]
[After that, at the Rec Center, they'll just play some good old fashioned games. Kurt's pretty good at air hockey, but he soon discovers Rogue is waaaay too good at pool. Which leads to him trying to press his natural advantage as he BAMFS and hangs from the ceiling above the table, trying to make a very tricky while upside down. And wouldn't you know it, before he teleported, he stepped back on his school bag and knocked his journal out and open to start recording.]
--what do you think you're doin'?
What does it look like? I'm trying to make a shot!
That is cheatin', Kurt. Get your butt back down here. That is no way ta play pool.
It's not cheating! I'm still hitting the ball with the stick, yeah? It's totally fair!
Part of the game is working the angles from the ground.
Come on, that is so lame!" [He bamfs back to the ground.] "There's no way I can hit it like this.
Sure ya can. Ya just need ta work the angles an' hit the ball right." ... "An' loosen up on that stick. You're holding it too tight.
[Reluctantly Kurt gives in. He still needs to go over the balls, so while he aims with one hand, he steadies the other end of his pool stick... with his tail. Over his head.]
Kurt!
((ooc: Dual post in progress, so get your tags from Kurt and![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
touchofrogue. Hit 'em up at any of the locations or just do the journal thing if you want. For the Battle Dome, you can run into 'em before or after they play out the scenario (or just sit up in the viewing area and watch it.) Also, housemates and fellow Brigade members would probably already know it's his birthday, but not so much others.))

[action]
Hey, Mia!
[action]
Or save him. Because birthday or not, Rogue is about this close to just walking away. And then Kurt will try to follow her. And then she'll have to kill him.]
Friend of yours?
[action]
[even if the girl he is with doesn't seem...friendly.]
[action]
Ahh, right. This is Mia. [Gestures to the blue haired girl.] And this is Rogue. [He'll give her the chance to not say "I'm his sister" as per usual.]
[action]
As it is, Rogue nods in her direction - cute girl, friendly = a break from Star Trek - and smiles politely.]
Haven't seen you around before. New here?
[action]
[action]
[Well... the pretty ones anyway.]
[action]
[And to Mia.] Hope you're settlin' in all right. He didn't try ta give you a tour or anything, did he?
[Via teleportation. Which makes people sick the first time.]
[action]
[She miiiight still believe his teleporting is Psynergy of a sort and therefore shouldn't really be discussed.]
[action]
[action]
[action]
[action]
Ahh, well what can I say? I see a pretty girl in distress and I've gotta do my thing.
[action]
[action]
I don't mean to interrupt your evening.
[action]
No no, it's fine. We're going to get dinner, actually. You should come eat with us!
[action]
Who is lightly blushing. Great. He'll be at it all night.]
Uh, Kurt, maybe Mia has other plans?
[action]
Please, the two of you ought to just enjoy your dinner together.
[but she's doing a bang-up job of reading too much into the rest of it.]
[action]
Ahh, well, if you're sure. We're just getting some burgers. It's nothing special. [Just, you know, his birthday.]
[action]
If you're not busy, ya should come on in. Dinner's always better with company.
[And this is one thing Rogue actually firmly believes, so she's able to say it with sincerity... even if she sometimes feels like that poor kid pressing his nose up against the window pane of a toy store at Christmas. At least she gets to see the toys.]
[action]
[action]
[Poor fantasy girls, totally missing out.]
They're only a staple of the American diet! All-American beef served with American Cheese, maybe a little American bacon, American tomatoes, American lettuce, and a bunch of sauces we're not sure where the're from. [Yeah, he's being ridiculous. Americanisms in TV are amusing, okay.]
[action]
[And Rogue starts towards the door.]
