[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?

yeah, thankfully 😅

probably so. We could always try one of those as well.

Sounds... Fun. [ Which is to say that it doesn't sound fun at all.... but that's not going to stop Peter from trying it, anyway. ] Maybe shorter distances would also be less strain as well?

[shadowblends]

😉

do you have superspeed?
that'd be interesting to test against. [He and the Peter from his homeworld hadn't gotten a chance to do that.]

they are, yes. i'm not worried about it!
it's not like i'll be purposefully trying to strain myself or attempting to get us out of harms way.

[ptrprkr]

no. i don’t.
i’m a little faster than i used to be, but it’s nowhere close to super speed.
but i am an avid supporter of experiments in the name of science 😎

ah. well, you’re the professional here when it comes to it, so i’ll trust your judgment.
i’ll pack a doggie bag just in case the nausea gets too much.

[shadowblends]

aw, that's too bad.
except ... maybe not? we could also have a footrace sometime.
for science, of course!

a great plan.
if i could find any, i'd bring mint or ginger, too.

[ptrprkr]

a footrace? I'm up for it!
wait... you don't have super speed along with teleportation, right?

[ He will not be tricked into losing before this race even starts ]

mint or ginger, got it.
I'll take a look around for some, you can never be too safe.

[shadowblends]

what? no!
that'd be so rude of me! challenging you to a footrace and having superspeed ...

[What kind of person (mutant) do you take him for, Peter?]

if you happen to discover any, let me know.
i could find a way to plant some mint in my apartment, at least.

[ptrprkr]

well it'd be one way to ensure that you win the competition.
a little sneaky, but effective!! 😂

i'll keep on the lookout and bring some by to you if I find any! 👍
with enough work i might be able to get some that'll grow despite the weird weather patterns here.

[ AKA: yay, science! ]

[shadowblends]

but also rather dishonorable!
if i were to win a contest, i'd want to do so because of my skills.

sounds great! 😄
is that so? i'd be willing to help you out, too. i'm rather good with plants, despite the peculiarity of xistentia.
