[When Kurt steps out of the tunnel today, he's relieved. It's kind of like being back home, if home was a place where you were at the mercy of scientists and bureaucrats and the subject of weird experiments. But it's got friends and family, so he's still relieved to be here. Not to mention having a sky over him again. It's kind of refreshing to actually be chilly! Although a little sore from two weeks of teleporting, he's content to make his way back home.

... where he'll find out Jubilee is gone. Not to mention that Melanie is still away. It's kind of a bummer on both count. But he keeps his chin high and remembers that he still has friends. Jubilee went back to the X-Men she belongs with, he's with the X-Men he belongs with, and he'll be ready the moment Melanie comes back.

After spending some time getting settled back into the X-House again, he goes out for the evening, looking for some fun to stimulate a Kurt who spent two weeks of fighting and boredom (and people staring at him like a freak). Good Spirits, Cloud Nine, and the Rec Center are all stops this evening for him. A successful mission completed deserves a little celebration, after all.

At some point, he pops open his journal to ask something he's been thinking about. From what he knows of Kotetsu and Pao-Lin's world, it almost seems to have 'mutants' like him. But unlike his world, they seem to have a better lot than mutants in his world do. After two weeks of being stared at like a freak, his own mutation is pretty heavy on his mind. Maybe other worlds are like this too?]

So a lot of us have powers, yeah? How many people were born with them... but only by accident? I don't mean like some kind of magical powers, but something totally random.

And... what do the people of your world think of that?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Well... genetics, I guess?

Then uh, I guess I count?

But you said you got your powers later. [By being infected by demon's blood.]

I did, but that's 'cus father Fujimoto sealed them in Kurikara or something. I was born with it.

Doesn't that mean that you're... not completely human?

I still am! [... Except he's not] Or... not. People are sayin' I'm not a lot.

... well, it doesn't matter, yeah? You're still you.

[Before, he would have agreed. Before he he was taken in for the first time. Before he was taken in for the second time. As it is now... as it is now, is it okay for him to be alive? Shiemi reassured him it might be but-

Old man, why did you save me?

There's a very distinct, pained pause here]

-Yeah. I'm me.

[That. Doesn't go unnoticed.]

Just don't forget that. [Because it can be so very, very easy.]

I said I know!

[I'm just. Yeah...] I'm me, I'm just... [Satan's kid]

Hard sometimes? I know.

[My dad isn't Satan. Satan isn't nearly that badass.]

Mm yeah...

So... do you get to be part of a cool team? [Might as well bring it on a lighter note.]

I'm an exorcist! With True Cross.

... an exorcist? Wow. [Totally did not peg you as the religious type.]

Mmmhm. Just like the old man and my brother. 'Cept I'm going to be way better than that four-eyes.

So that makes you Catholic, yeah?

...Not really... I guess? True Cross kinda is for all religions though.

... what, really? [Religions. Working together. What a world.]

Yeah, really. [...] It doesn't always work well, apparently. I mean, we met these guys in Kyoto who used to not be fond of the idea of joining. And I think its a by-order choice but it's got a lot of places under its banner. After all, we're the only ones who can protect Assiah.

Assiah? What's that?

Like, the human world? The demon world's Gehenna.

[It took forever to memorize those. He says this with a little pride. Which might seem random]

Oh... right. I don't think they use those words in my world... I guess because we never have to worry about demons.

I'd never heard of 'em before the cram school, so I guess that figures. "Hell'd" be a lot easier to remember than Gehenna if you ask me.
