[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

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.

[Easier than Brimstone Dimension too.]

Ahh, but who ever wants to settle for easy, yeah?

Not me! I'm still aiming to make Paladin.

What do you get to do as Paladin?

...Well it means you're the strongest exorcist.

So... deal with bigger, badder demons.

Yeah. Just like Father Fujimoto - I'll show everyone that old man was right.

... you're definitely not like any other religious people I know.

Like I said, I'm not even that religious. I'm working for a knight meister, it's not like I'm an aria.

[What is a- NOPE NOT GONNA ASK.]

If you say so. I think I'm happy sticking with fighting giant robots and other mutants.

Robots?! Giant ones?!

[THAT SOUNDS SO COOL]

[Not as cool in real life, bro...]

Yeah. It was called a Sentinel.

And you guys blew it up, right?

... more or less. [Actually Magneto ended up taking care of it. But uh, details.]

Awesome.

So what's the coolest thing you've fought?

[...Well you can't call the Impure King cool. You sure can't call Amaimon cool. so]

Maybe that Phantom Train?

A phantom train? How do you fight something like that?

You got onto it, of course. We were gonna get on it and then beat it up- first we had to get all the souls it was gonna eat out I guess in the end Shiemi did that... So it got really pissed 'cus we emptied out it's stomach and bam, that's when I hit it.

It ate souls? [What.]

Yeah! Messed up, right? Apparently, Phantom Trains ride through the country and people who get on it or look at 'em wrong ad they pass get killed as it drags their souls through the rails and eventually back to Gehenna.

[He... can't keep neutral though it. It's disgusting. It's infuriating, really, even if it didn't affect him personally, per se]

[Absolutely none of that made any sort of sense to him.]

... harsh.

Seriously. A least we were able to give'em a funeral.
