[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?

text. a demigod's bane. the letters swirl a little for nico before he can read them properly and then because he's not afraid of showing his face ( and it's easier than typing with dyslexia ), nico turns on the video feed for his response. everything about him is dark. from his black hair ( styled in an undercut ) and black eyes to his black clothes. his skin, however, is exceptionally pale and there are perpetual, permanent dark circles under his eyes. features he's had thanks to the life he's led. ]

It's not normally this rainy. It might have something to do with D.E.S.T.I.N.Y, but I'm not positive. Just... you should know that if you get wet, you might end up sharing memories with someone who touches you.

[ his lips twist in a frown and he shrugs. ]

You're a very long way from New York, much less America. And I don't know anything about mutants other than stuff I've read in comic books.

That is not a common word in my world. Why do you inquire?

Too much of this rain is troublesome for some of the plants.

its not normal, no
This place is like a computer program. sometimes it glitches. things will go back to normal

Mutants are people with abilities as far as i know. Ive met a few, in another world

The downpour is abnormal. Please seek shelter from it. It should pass in a few days.

But if you are seeking the definition that comes to mind, a mutant is a new variant of a species. If the mutation becomes common enough they are then generally considered a new species rather than a mutated one.

Oh, are you a New Yorker then? [ Color him curious. ]

To answer some of your questions: no, the weather seems to have only recently gotten the idea that we ought to dig out kayaks and paddle down the road. If I were to venture a guess, I'd say it's probably temporary.

Mutant is a word I've heard, not in my own world, but another that I visited before arriving here. As it was explained to me last, it refers to something extraordinary in a person's genetic makeup that bestows various powers on the people possessing the mutation. Is that your definition?

[ Peter hones in on the words New York. There can't just coincidentally be another place named New York, right? ]

New York, huh? Me too. Where about?

[ Then there's the word 'mutant', which is definitely a new one for Peter. He's pretty sure he's never once heard a single person say that before. At least, not outside of Sci-fi or horror films. ]

Mutant? Sounds like some kind of alien with two heads and six tentacle arms?

[ And since he's probably way off base. ]

What does it really mean?

[servomotor]

PERJORATIVE, LOADED LANGUAGE TO DESCRIBE AN INDIVIDUAL EXPERIENCING GENETIC CHANGES THAT HAPPEN TO PEOPLE ALL THE TIME. THERE'S A PRETTY GOOD CHANCE THAT NON-HEREDITARY CANCERS, EXPOSURE TO FUN NEW HAIR DYE, THE PROCESS OF AGEING, ETC., CAUSE MUTATIONS-- THEY JUST HAPPEN TO BE INVISIBLE AND/OR DIFFICULT TO TRACE TO EVENT OF ORIGIN.

DOWNPOUR IS PRETTY NEW. NOT A FAN EITHER, BUT IT HELPS TO KICK IT IN AN ENVIRONMENTALLY SEALED SUIT. WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
