text; daemon: shebad

[shadowblends]

[None of this is familiar to Kurt.

The last thing he remembers was a misstep in the Danger Room, falling toward (possible) certain doom and then a portal. Waking in an ocean wasn't something he'd planned for, gaining this strange thing called a 'daemon' isn't either, but most of all: he's certainly going to do everything in his power to avoid all this rain.

Seeking shelter wherever possible? There won't be any hesitation on this guy's end.]

so, is this downpour normal here?
i've been to places where it rains a lot, but honestly, this almost seems a little ridiculous.

[Guess he's never been to Washington.]

oh, and if anyone could give me more detailed information about this place, i'd greatly appreciate it. the map's helpful, yet ... [It's not a complaint, honestly!]

this is just definitely not new york
nor any place that i'm familiar with
which prompts me to ask: if i were to say 'mutant,' what is the first thing that would come to mind for you?

oh great
grand
groovy
relaying sarcasm over text is harder than i thought.

okay, so, what you're telling me is your hometown is new york, but there's no mutants there.
like, at all? even in hiding?
alternative worlds and timelines ...
this gets more bizarre by the minute.

[helical]

tell me about it.

No, we're the ones in hiding. nephilim, warlocks, vampires and werewolves, all of that is there, but the mundanes dont know about it. We protect them from demons
No mutants at all

You get used to it.

[shadowblends]

which one are you, then?
a nephilim, warlock, vampire, or werewolf?
because where i come from, we'd consider those 'mutants.'

it's a lot to take in, but i'll do my best.
have you been here long?

[helical]

Nephilim
Its not exactly the same but its definitely similar. Hearing rogue talk about your world it was all familiar stuff, the way people treat mutants and all that
For my world that would be downworlders. So anyone but nephilim and humans

About four months. Other world before that, over a year

[shadowblends]

is that in the fallen angel definition or something different?
i'm sorry you've had to know what that felt like.
so, you aren't considered a 'downworlder?'

you have been away from your homeworld for quite some time, then.

[helical]

Different. We share angelic blood, which gives us the ability to channel Angelic powers given to us by the Angel
Im not. Downworlders share blood with demons. My people are the ones looking down on them and being afraid of them.
But I like men, so I... I know a little bit what its like. Being different like that

We went back not long ago. To see how D.E.S.T.I.N.Y. was faring there

[shadowblends]

okay, i think i'm understanding everything here.
you'll get no judgement from me about that. [Funny, considering he's from the eighties.

And, you know, Catholic.] god would want us to love those that make us happy.

and the results? good things, i hope.

[helical]

Yeah. That makes sense ( AND YET. but he's not here to discuss his frustration with homophobia, so. moving on. )

I expected it to be disastrous, and it wasn't. we have to keep working to keep it at bay but people there are still safe for the time being.

[shadowblends]

[Kurt's happy to move along, since he has a feeling he might know some people that wouldn't approve of his decision. No one here, thankfully.]

well, if i've understood the existence of this place and why we're all here, fighting to keep our worlds safe is all part of the plan.

[helical]

Yeah
The more of us live here, the nicer this place is, and the more we get to know each other the more we save our world
Not that bad of a deal, aside from the troubling rain, glitches, and all out attacks

( har har. )

[shadowblends]

[hold up, wait a minute--]

this place has been attacked?
as in, you've had to fight other people off to ensure that xistentia is protected.
if that's the case, we'll need all the people we can get, i'm sure.

[helical]

not exactly.

Not yet. But they trapped people in a prison world. we had to go in and get them out.
Youre right, we need all the people we can get. anyone who can fight

[shadowblends]

i can fight.

back in my world, i'm training to become an x-man.
my plans are to continue with that, regardless of where i end up. whatever needs to be dealt with, i'll do the best i can to fend it off.
the powers i have are also good for stealth and rescue missions.

[helical]

Thank you
There's a training area. We have a big loft space we use for that
Youre welcome to use it

[shadowblends]

you're welcome
yeah? it would be smart to keep up on my training
even if there's no danger room

[helical]

Its better to keep training all the time
We can spar with you too

[shadowblends]

is that so?
a partner every now and then would be nice
