First Bamf [Action/Accidental Video]

[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.]

Repeats. [He... repeats. And goes for the least threatening interpretation.] Like... like on the tv? I guess it would be really hard to get new episodes in a place like this...

[Sorry, Kurt.]

Like... people leave. An' then come back. An' sometimes they don't remember bein' here at all.

[Leaving and coming back without memories? That sounds... scary. He looks her in the eyes.]

Rogue... What are you trying to say?

I'm sayin' - don't be too surprised if ya see someone who recognizes you, who you don't know.

You mean... I've...? [He tears his eyes away and squeezes a white t-shirt over his fuzzy chest.] No, it's... That's not possible.

Nah, it's... pretty possible. You were here with me a good long time. [...] Sorry, I know that must be weird.

It is! [He says, higher than he intended to.] Rogue, I was... I was on Earth the whole time! How could we both have been here? Weird time vortexes can't work that way! And... what, all my memories just zapped away?

Time at home stands still while we're here. An' when we go home... [She gestured to him vaguely] we forget Luceti. An' sometimes when people come back, they forget all about it too.

[She feels somewhat miserable about this and so apologizes again.]

I'm sorry, Kurt, that's - just the way it is.

Not your fault. [He says quietly, almost robotically as he processes it all.] So I've been here and back again. And you... You've really been here for these whole two years?

Give or take a few months, yeah.

It's still so hard to believe.

[Kurt turns his attention back to Rogue again, taking in the differences. And he gives a bitter chuckle.]

To think, after all that trouble we went through to find you... In a way, you still got to leave us all, anyway.

[Ouch. Ouch.]

No, Kurt.

[She took a half-step forward and stopped awkwardly.]

You comin' ta find me changed everything. [She swallowed hard.] I don't know... where we go from here. When you were here before you... hadn't found me yet. But... [Nervous. So nervous. He could turn her aside now and she would deserve it.] We found a way ta be... be family here. You're my brother, Kurt.

[It wasn't the first time she'd said it to him. But he'd forgotten that now, forgotten how long it had taken and what it meant to them then. But maybe... maybe it would still mean something to him now.]

[His eyes, already gaining some perculiar glossiness, widened as she finished speaking.]

I was waiting to talk to you, Rogue. When we were leaving the bayou. I wanted to make sure that... that we really had found you. Before all that happened with Gambit, I thought you really were lost. It wasn't until you talked about leaving, and then you disappeared, that I realized... I could still lose you more. [And hearing about his previous stay here, how he could have treated her... It must have hurt.] So I'd be a horrible brother if I gave up then. And maybe I was, for having already given up before that.

That's why I wanted to ask you a question. But... [He looks down and takes a hesitant step closer - reaching for her shoulders or whichever parts of her arms were covered.] I think you just answered it. [He hesitates for another moment, as if making sure it felt right to add on.] It's... it's really good to see you again. [Another pause of consideration, before he almost breathes the last word, with a degree of uncertainty.] Sis.

[Not to worry, Kurt, it's ribbed turtleneck sweater day - you're safe.]

Yeah. [She smiles a him, a little wobbly herself.] You too.

[So, so carefully, Rogue moved to give Kurt a hug.]

[What's happening. What is happening.

Kurt was always the sensitive one, the one quickest to give hugs. And there he was, stunned and confused as his sister wrapped her arms around him. All he hoped for since he found out about their connection... could he really have found it? Was this really it, after everything that had happened with the person connecting them? Of all the closeness he could have hoped for, this had always seemed... out of reach.

He keeps his arms spread out up in the air as if being searched by a cop for just a few moments. But he then slowly lowered each arm around Rogue and held her, really held her, for the first time. And closed his eyes to appreciate it. His family.]

[Rogue was not one for sustained contact for many reasons, so it wasn't long before she pulled away.]

So... yeah.

[Wow. That... happened alright. Kurt quickly goes into a more lighthearted smile.]

I've gotta say, I was not expecting that. You must've really picked up a lot while you've been here. Can you tapdance now, too?

That's for me to know, and for you ta never find out.

[She shrugged and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.]

You're all set here?

[He scoops up a pile of clothes he had set to the side under one arm with his journal.]

Yeah, I think that'll do it.

So... so who else is in this place, exactly?

Logan. Ororo. An' a whole bunch of other people from similar worlds. It's... kinda crazy.

It definitely sounds kinda crazy. So you're saying we're now stuck in this weird place with our teachers and... what, some kind of Bizarro worlds?

Uh... depends what ya mean by 'Bizarro.'

[Because it might be worse than that. =/]

Like, are there people like... people we know? [He's not ready to comprehend copies of them running around here.]

...huh?

I mean, how similar are these worlds? Is there someone like... I don't know, Scott, but he has a goatee and litters?
