Fifth Bamf [Action/Voice] Dated to the 14th

[wildbluevagner]

[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?

[deadlyjuliet]

Feeling a twinge of homesickness, are we?

[Unhelpful forever.]

voice;

[wildbluevagner]

[And so Kurt faces my karmic retribution for bringing my own troll into the enclosure.]

So what if I am? Doesn't everyone here feel that, every now and then? [With that logic, he doesn't think he has much to be ashamed of.]

voice;

[deadlyjuliet]

[welcome to the horror that is grell]

Oooh, aren't we a little touchy? It merely seems strange, given what shall be happening shortly. This entire conversation may be useless.

Unless there is something you'd rather not face when you go home? Hm~?

Action /ignore my fail

[somethingtoavenge]

[Phil doesn't pay to much attention when Kurt enters the item shop, used to him showing up during the day. However, something about him catches his attention, and once he's done correcting the inventory he looks up.

And stares.

What even.

Kurt. Kurt, no.

No.

In a flat tone:] What.

Action /never

[wildbluevagner]

Oh... Hey Phil! How's it going, man?

[He says, completely non-chalantly as he tries to do some muscle-flexing.]

[calmbeforethe]

[Ororo's at the Dome when she spies Kurt. And lets out a surprised little laugh at what he looks like.]

Having a little fun with your image inducer, I see.

[wildbluevagner]

Really? Are you sure you just haven't been paying attention to how much I've been working out, Ororo?

[Flex, flex.]

[Voice]

[gonna_shoot_it]

You deal with it. There's not much else to it. Deal with it, or move on.

[This is Calhoun, being oddly optimistic. And possibly not too helpful. But she's feeling a bit guilty over last month as well, so she'll actually live up to her good guy gal role for a change.]

But remember, kid. Anyone can show up here, when they open up those New Feather floodgates. You might not be waiting around too long.

[Voice]

[wildbluevagner]

Yeah... That's one thing I'm worried about. What if I try to move on, but she comes back just when I start seeing someone new? With my luck, I feel like that's a possibility.

[universal_charm]

_{[ This was his childhood, man. Mom always been gone, uncle who didn't want him around. Yuuuup. ]}

By not thinking about them. Find something to distract myself and keep me moving. Admittedly, as a kid, that came out in ways the police didn't much like, but what you going to do?

[wildbluevagner]

[Something about this guy seems oddly familiar. He's not sure exactly why he finds himself thinking of his favorite scifi, but he chuckles along.]

I don't know if I'd go that far... but I do have some things to keep me busy already. [Mostly Danger Room training.] But I mean... what if it's someone like a girlfriend? Is it really okay to you know, not think about her?

[Action]

[de_bel_survivor]

[There's nothing quite like taking a walk towards the shops. No one really give him any chocolates or presents on Valentine's, so Kouki have no White Day obligations.

But he still like browsing the stores.

...Only to pause when he see someone. Well.]

Nice tattoo you got there.

[Action]

[wildbluevagner]

[He's sure he's talked to this guy over the journals - the guy who said he was Abel. And Kurt regards him with a friendly smile. And a flex... just to make the tattoo stand out more.]

Thanks, man! It's a real keeper, right?

[halfnhalf]

[With today possibly being his last day in Luceti, Teddy spends a bit of his day wandering the village, just looking at the sights again. He'll miss it a little, the calm and peace here. Even if the atmosphere was still strange, as the New Yorker part of him is still used to the noises of cars and walking through crowds of people and seeing so many lights that the stars aren't even visible. This was still kind of nice.

Teddy's in the item shop now, just looking at things when - whoooa that is an absurd amount of muscles. He kind of thinks there's no way someone can look like that, unless they just packed themselves steroids or this person is a lot older than they look.

While Kurt's looking away, Teddy studies his build, his height, his posture. And when he's in Kurt's field of vision, the other boy won't find Teddy, but what looks like an exact copy of Kurt himself, muscle bound and everything, picking up objects experimentally. Yeah, no, he doesn't see how moving is considered easy like this.]

[action]

[wildbluevagner]

[He does manage to catch that oddity out of the corner of his eyes - and he quickly spins to get a better look at his muscle clone. Kurt blinks as he regards the same-sized man nervously.]

Uh... Hey there!

[touchofrogue]

After seeing his message and being far too figity to keep to her shift in the Shop, Rogue decided she'd go look for her brother. The video he'd recorded gave her an idea of what he'd look like, but she hadn't expected this.

"Forgot somethin'?"

And she threw a can of spinach towards his head. Head's up, Kurt!

[wildbluevagner]

He sees the incoming can as he turns to face her and a makes a weak, flinching attempt to catch it, accompanied, by a "Hey!"

The catch may have succeeded if he accounted for the fact that his hands were not actually that huge. As it was, the can flew threw the holoed-portion of his hand and then a holo-pec to hit his much wimpier real one.

"What's the big idea?" he moaned as he lifted the can, as obvious as the answer was.

[Voice]

[thebellthatbinds]

For the most part...I try to distract myself with other things. Duties, jobs, the friends I have here. It never stops hurting though, missing them.

If you find any good answers, let me know.

[Voice]

[wildbluevagner]

Thanks, Sabriel. That really is a big help. [He's just not sure if distractions will cut it.] I didn't expect it would stop so easily, either.

I'll definitely keep you updated.

voice;

[contaeoro]

Well, we all aren't completely alone here. The village is small, but if you busy yourself you won't have to dwell on thinking about home all the time. Or if you've got someone to talk to, sharing stories of home can be nice as well.

People tend to come and go. You miss 'em, but in the end you just got to move forward.

voice;

[wildbluevagner]

I guess that's true in a way for home, too, eh? You never know long someone'll stick around. I know I'm not alone, at least. I have people who are important to me. I just find myself wondering what do with a relationship when my girlfriend could never show up here.

[voice] gosh I'm late sorry

[loganyouarefat]

You never told me you had a lady friend.

[voice] too bad you can never be forgiven

[wildbluevagner]

You mean it's not a historical fact where you're from? [He says coyly. To be honest, it is kind of scary to wonder how his love life could be different in that other time. But for joking purposes, he's good assuming that he and Amanda are meant to be in every timeline.]

[Voice]

[fourthgenerationprincess]

[ She shrugs. ] I don't really know yet. I've only been gone a few days. [ There's a long silence on her end. ] I do miss them, though. I guess I just hope that we'll all see each other again soon.

[Voice]

[wildbluevagner]

[That. Is a talking My Little Pony.]

Heh... Well, I guess you just gotta tought it, yeah? You can be without your friends for a while in a place like this. But, uh... at least you can find lots of new and... unusual friends in these parts.
