[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.]

[The smile definitely helps him to feel a little more comfortable. And he meekly provides his own.]

Yeah, apparently. I've had to find out the hard way I'm not in Louisiana anymore. [He pauses; it's definitely introduction time, but he's undecided on using his codename or his real name. But if this guy's another mutant and friendly, maybe he should take the chance.] The name's Kurt. Kurt Wagner.

[Action]

[revoltndevelopment]

Ben Grimm. Nice to meet you Kurt.

[He set his book aside and extends a massive, rocky hand to the blue teen.]

This is pretty far from the States, yeah. I was sleep'n in Manhattan the night before I woke up here.

[Action]

[wildbluevagner]

Nice to meet you, too, Ben. [It seems like such an... ordinary name for a big rock man. But Kurt's not sure if he can talk. He reaches out to accept the handshake, hoping very very much that this guy has the control to not crush normal hands.]

A fellow New Yorker, huh? I was only in Louisiana on, uh, I guess you'd say business. I actually live over at Bayville.

[Action]

[revoltndevelopment]

[Comes with being just your average engineer and experimental test pilot from Yancey Street before becoming a big rock man. Y'can change the way a guy looks but not how he feels, etc, etc.

The grip on Kurt's hand is gentle. No bone breaking here.]

Bayville? Nice place, been over it a coupla times. Never really gotten the chance t'stop and see everyth'n though.

[Action]

[wildbluevagner]

[It's definitely very refreshingly not bone breaking, as fuzz meets stone. He tries to go along nice and firmly, only pulling away whenever Ben releases his hold.]

That so? [Kurt's not surprised he hasn't been there much, or he'd think the professor would have recruited him by now.] It's definitely a nice place! It's the first part of America I've seen, and it did not disappoint.

[Action]

[revoltndevelopment]

[Two firm shakes as required by the man code, and then Kurt got his hand back.]

Don't have much time. Kinda get stuck hopp'n from one dimension to the next a lot. Spend more time somewhere else than I do in New York lately. [Ah, an import.] Lemme guess...German?

[Action]

[wildbluevagner]

[Very good. Kurt feels empowered by this manliness, despite him... Kurt.]

Dimension-hopping? I can kinda relate on that. And... Yeah, I come from the land of lederhosen alright. [sarcastically.] What was your first clue?

[Action]

[revoltndevelopment]

Little less flashy than th'way you go about it kid.

[He gives a little rumble of a laugh.]

Yer nose. Germans have distinct noses.

[Action]

[wildbluevagner]

You mean, like going to other dimensions with life in it? Like this place here would just be another Wednesday for you?

[He jokinly places a hand over his nose in mock-self-consciousness.] Guess there's some things the fuzz just can't hide!

[Action]

[revoltndevelopment]

Tuesday. Wednesdays are for parallel realities. Thursday's space.

[He grins.]

Better t'be fuzzy than rocky.

[Action]

[wildbluevagner]

[He gives a soft whistle.] Wow, Ben, you really do get around.

Think so? I bet you save a lot on shaving products.

[Action]

[revoltndevelopment]

I live with one of the smartest men on the planet that loves to explore. Kinda happens.

...yer a bit young t'worry about shaving, aren't you?

[Action]

[wildbluevagner]

I live with one of the smartest men on the planet too! But he doesn't get out much.

I'm 17! And I gotta make sure the fuzz I got stays neat, at least.

[Action]

[revoltndevelopment]

Don't think I've ever seen a fuzzy man with a beard. 'less you count Logan, but that ain't real fair.

[Action]

[wildbluevagner]

I bet I'd look real charming with a beard! [Blink.] Oh, hey, you know Logan?

[Action]

[revoltndevelopment]

Mmm. I could see it.

[He rumbles a low laugh.]

Yeah, I know th'runt. Surly li'l Canadian. Fun t'have over f'poker.

[Action]

[wildbluevagner]

That's him alright. Poker, huh? It's kinda weird to imagine him with something like friends. Ones who aren't trying to hunt him all the time, that is.

[Action]

[revoltndevelopment]

Eh, he's alright so long as he's not try'n t'clean me out. Then we got problems. Other than that, wouldn't really call us friends. Co-workers sometimes, yeah. Logan don't have many friends.

[Action]

[wildbluevagner]

[Sarcastically.] My heart is crying for him.

Still, sounds like the closest to friends he gets. Good for him. Did you guys only meet up here, or did you know each other before... all... this?

Re: [Action]

[revoltndevelopment]

I know him back where I'm from. Ain't the same guy but. Parallel realities, all that.

[Action]

[wildbluevagner]

Parallel. [He gives a whistle at that.] It's beginning to make a lot more sense why I've never seen or heard of you before.

[Action]

[revoltndevelopment]

Yeah I'm kinda hard t'ignore. Kinda been 'round for a long while too.

[Action]

[wildbluevagner]

You'd definitely stick out on a subway. A long time huh? Are you... Sorry if this is rude, but are you a mutant, too?

[Action]

[revoltndevelopment]

Nah, that's one of th'first few things I'm asked. Just after 'Are you gonna eat me'.

But no. I've been mutated by cosmic radiation, but I ain't a mutant. Wasn't born with this.

[Action]

[wildbluevagner]

Oh. [Not exactly a mutant brethren - but from the looks of it, he's been judged similarly by others.] Cosmic radiation? That sounds like something out of a comic book. But it sounds like you're close enough to us to be an honorary cousin.
