How is the driving?

For any interaction that you want to happen with Kurt, anytime and anyplace within the Luceti world that do not fit into a given post, please use this!

Just give a date and place, and whether this will be via journal or in-person!
wildbluevagner: (holo -)
[Voice]

[Aside from romantic drama and dealing with the cycle of friends coming and going, it's been a quiet few months for Kurt. Well, that plus helping out at the coffee house and item shop and the night club. And he's had his training with swords, which has led him to make this announcement.]

Hey guys, would anyone be up for joining me for the coolest Battle Dome simulation there ever was? You'll get to be part of my pirate crew and there'll be a battle and everything! Just come on over around... I guess 4 would be good? And get ready to serve the Dread Pirate Wagner!

[He was inspired to make the sim by a cyborg pirate simulation that Deadpool dreamed up. But Kurt has a love for the classics, so he's decided to stick to normal pirates for his own activity. This will only be part training... and part spontaneous giant game of pretend.]

[Action]

[It's easy enough to tell which room Kurt has claimed just from looking through the observation deck. Stepping into the room, one will find themselves on the deck of a large ship. Kurt should be waiting somewhere nearby. Since he made an open invitation and doesn't want to scare off strangers, his image inducer is on; so he'll resemble a normal human teen, but dressed up in a pirate-y get up, complete with a poofy shirt and a big hat, plus two swords in hand. And a simulated parrot!

Kurt waits to sort anyone who shows up into a role on the ship while waiting for the enemy pirates of Redbeard to attack. People can even stroll in late - when the chaos has already begun!]


[ooc: I would like to encourage threadjacking around the Battle Dome segment as long as respective taggers are okay with it! Whenever Kurt's assigned a role to a character, they can then feel free to jack into other threads!]
wildbluevagner: (holo - please explain)

[It's so weird for Kurt to think back just a month ago. At Malnosso World, they were all having fun again. It was easier to put aside all the trauma from Billy's spell when they could be just like teenagers again having fun in a theme park. But now, the signs of those fun times were fading away. Scott's gone. Logan's gone. And now, Kitty's gone, too. It feels like a wake-up call in some ways, now that he's passed a whole year here in Luceti. There's no longer a Wolverine to rely on and hide behind on the battlefield. And there's no Kitty here to make it feel like the innocent old days again. He has to be the man of the house now - he has to take responsibility, here and on the battlefield.

He's not ready to do away with his image inducer, yet. So he appears before the journals as his human-looking teen self. And he speaks as always with his German accent.]


Hey, everybody. It's Kurt Wagner. Looking forward to Thanksgiving, huh? I know I can't wait to do some gobbling of my own! It's just a shame there isn't a good game to watch with it. But... that's beside the point. The real reason I'm making this message? It's because I want to find a teacher who can teach me how to fight with swords. It seems like there's a lot of samurai types out there... but if it's possible, I'd like to learn from someone who knows a style that's more - you know. Swashbuckly! I mean, I've had a few fencing lessons in the past, but I think it's time I learn the real deal.

I think that's pretty much it. So uh, have a happy Thanksgiving? If you celebrate it!

[Action]

[Kurt can be found at a few places throughout the day. At the item shop, he spends a bit of time helping out there, a little somberly. He tried to root out any CDs around that could help him with his new night club gig. He still puts in a shift at the coffee house too. Afterwards? He heads to the Battle Dome and tries to subject himself to Danger Room-like simulations in an attempt to start improving. It's only here that he shows his true blue form and teleporting powers.]
wildbluevagner: (holo - wtf)
[Action]

[Kurt finds himself wandering through the forest in the direction of the plaza. He's just woken up there after spending a few days over a week in the cliutches of the Malnosso. Sure, he's a teleporter, but he knows what happens when once is kidnapped, so he's being careful. He doesn't want to risk his power backfiring in some way, after all.

But he soon finds a very different effect in place: at one point, he trips and goes headlong towards a tree... and then through it. He takes a moment to wonder whether or not he hallucinated, but it soon proves not to be. Taking a moment to turn on his image inducer at least to induce his human-like appearance, he tries to make his way around town to check in on people now that he's back - the item shop, the coffee shop, House 16 and possibly the clinic (if he can't find Mia at the house). But along the way, at random, uncontrollable points, this effect kicks in, and he will start to "phase" through something he's touching. In many cases, it will result in him dropping drinks or some breakable items. He could also find himself "falling" through walls and floors. Feel free to catch him right as he's phased, or not - he'll wind up doing it eventually anyway]


[Video]

[And eventually he tries addressing the journals - holding his own book firmly, as if that will ensure that he'll be able to hold onto it. And he's still human-looking as he does so.]

It's me, Kurt. Just letting anyone know that I'm back in town again. You won't believe wha-

[And then his image is shrinking quickly... because his hands have phased through the journal, and now it's falling down to the ground, where it captures the ceiling. Kurt moans.]

Oh man, not again!
wildbluevagner: (holo - woohoo?)
[Voice]

Hey, it's your homeboy Kurt here. Er, I mean... hey, Luceti. I'm just wondering. In whatever times or worlds you all come from, what is it that you do and say to be hip and cool? Just... curious, you know.

[It might also have to do with Billy giving him a wake-up call about his "lingo".]

[Action]

[Primarily for New Feathers or anyone who's occupying any house or apartment that was vacant within the last few months. Because there's an understanding in the house; to keep Rogue from complaining about fuzz in the shower drain, Kurt winds up teleporting into vacant houses and apartments to take showers.

So you may find an unexpected fuzzy man using your bathroom, unaware that someone's living there now. Can he flip his holo-watch on in time to hide his real form?

Otherwise at different points of the day, he can be found at the Battle Dome for morning training or at the item shop helping around.]
wildbluevagner: (holo - disbelief)
[Action]

[There's a few things on Kurt's mind: the portal project that would be going through the next day. The aftermath of that Valentines experiment. Missing his friends and his girlfriend. But one thing he realizes is that this could be his last day in Luceti. Why not make a good last impression?

So he's tinkered with his image inducer. As he walks around today, he looks like a human, but one who's built with an absurd amount of muscles. And he managed to find the right setting to make it look like he has a tattoo on one arm, one of an anchor.

He spends most of his time indoors in order to show off as much as possible - at the Dome, the item shop, the barracks... often pretending to work out. And he'll invite anyone over for a closer look. Things will just go awry if anyone tries to feel the pecs which are actually furry. Plus that image inducer isn't very reliable... Who knows when it will go wrong and make him look even weirder?]


[Voice]

[Still, he knows the facts. He misses his girlfriend, Amanda. It's been months since he's been separated from her by this place, and last month that experiment made him "cheat" on her with his friend. He can't help but ask about her - knowing he could be facing her again so soon. Or... if the portal didn't work, he could be stuck here even longer without her. So he addressed the journals.]

Hey... everyone? I've kind of got a question. For anyone who - you know, has someone back home. What do you do when you're apart from them for so long? How do you... deal with it?
wildbluevagner: (Default)
[The first day starts off innocently enough, except that Kurt spends even longer than usual admiring his own hair in the mirror and making sure to remind himself that he's a "handsome devil". And then he goes to start his day. Having overslept, he takes this as an excuse to whip together his own brand of brunch. He takes a variety of sandwich materials lying around the house and combines them all in one sandwich that surely could only look appetizing to his own eyes. He proceeds to devour it in the sloppiest manner possible.

He had expected to feel depressed this week. After all, this is the first year he'd be spending Valentines Day without his girlfriend, Amanda, who was all the way back home in Bayville. However, he wound up feeling something more like that opposite without thinking to be surprised by it. Amanda now felt like a fading memory, and Kurt didn't feel bothered in the least. Instead, he felt free and full of energy. He still grabbed his holo-watch, but he opted not to turn it on. There was some strange feeling that he should be accepted by Luceti for exactly who he is.

So, throughout the week, he teleports from location to location, showing up nearly anywhere to talk people up. But he finds himself getting an unusual yet recognizable fluttering feeling on the inside whenever he sees blue hair...]


[ooc: His handy dandy trigger list! And he is open for hijinks.]
wildbluevagner: (holo - disbelief)
[Action 1: Item Shop]

[Any regulars at the item shop might notice a change in the atmosphere starting on the second; most notably, the lack of blasting rock music. While Rogue's on a mission, it's Kurt who's in charge, and he takes this with a mixture of boredom and amusement at different times of the day. He's not completely sure what he's doing and dozes off at the counter every now and then. Other times? He's stupefied by all the weird things he encounters. Like that one time Spock walked in with a cat who was actually one of his friends.

But he'll get himself up to try to help anyone look for items.]


Okay, okay... What can I help you with?

[Or one can find him trying to excise his boredom in a more creative way; trying to have fun with the items around. He'll try playing around with toys to see how they work, building up any legos he finds around or testing out a variety of items to see what they do. Depending on the item, that may not go well. Feel free to intervene if he's about to use something particularly dangerous or personal.]

[ooc: Responses can be backdated to as long as Kurt's been in the shop!]

[Action 2: Luceti at Night]

[Kurt is feeling restless that night; he feels like going around in his "true" form. As blue and furry as ever. So he manages to obtain a cloak that he wears to hide his features while leaving the image inducer at home, opting to teleport around a variety of locations around the village to try to perch and seek some kind of solace. His first few months in Luceti have built many a troubled thought, with all the friends and a girlfriend whom he'd been separated from. And now he has a variety of "new" friends who already know who he is. So he seeks peace and quiet to wonder if he truly can fit in here.]
wildbluevagner: (holo - hey buddy)
[The video feed shows Kurt Wagner, seemingly normal teen boy with a German accent, sitting at a couch at House 16 and nervously trying to look into the screen. There's some huffing and occasional barking heard offscreen.]

Hello, everyone. I'm Kurt Wagner, and this is my... book? I figured I'm past due for this whole introduction thing, and I've got a few things to say. To start things, I should say that I can't help but notice that a few of you have been surprised to see me around, because - because you know me. I know that I've been here before in the past, but... I don't remember any of it. And I'm sorry for that. If you'd still like to be friends with me... you are free to contact me. [And he remembers how some people seemed very familiar with his real form.] Might as well be done privately!

And aw man... who else is excited for American Thanksgiving tomorrow? I feel kind of lucky that back home I get to celebrate both the German and American Thanksgivings. Maybe here I'll just eat for both! There's a lot of differences between them, but the common factor's usually delicious, delicious turkey! Can't wait to gobble some up - I'd be really thankful if anyone can hook me up with a well-done bird!

Oh - and more thing! [He holds the journal out to reveal a St. Bernard calmly panting at his feet. Every now and then, it raises its paw to idly swat at seemingly thin air. A camouflaged tail makes for some good entertainment, it seems.] I found this fellow outside earlier. I don't really know how this kind of thing works around here, but does he belong to anyone? He seems nice! But I don't think I can keep him...

Anyway... have a happy Thanksgiving, friends!
wildbluevagner: (thoughtful)
[Action/Accidental Video]

[So Kurt intially wakes up near the southern lake - in an immediate panic at the lack of clothes, even his uniform, or his image inducer. He only sees the book nearby. Curiously, he winds up peering into it and musing into it, unaware that it's recording this snippet.]

Doesn't look at all like the bayou... Where did they go? [He looks down into the book.] And where did this book come from? My name's on it. A gift from the Professor? Something about this book seems really weird... But I should try to find the others first.

[And so... this blue, fuzz demon will be teleporting around in acrid puffs of smoke, trying to stick to treetops and following the river towards the village. Every now and then, he stops just to take another look at the book. There's got to be something he's missing. And are those voices he hears from this weird book?

And as he arrives at the village, he may wind up accidentally teleporting into one of several houses. Something just seems a little off about his power here, you know? Hope this blue demon-looking guy doesn't catch you off-guard, with the dramatic smoke puffs that follow him. He could even wind up in the item or clothing shop before meeting anyone he knows.]
