Who: Kurt Wagner and you!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: On the Huntress!
When: After the Shuffle! (Pre-Shuffle Marsiva action is also allowable!)

[It's been a whirlwind day for Kurt Wagner. He was emotionally raw from a traumatic event when he woke up in space. Kurt had arrived on the day of the shuffle and had been doing his best to try to keep a low profile. People aren't always the most acceptable of a fuzzy blue mutant who looks like a devil, after all. And he'd managed to pick up the basics, at least, between what encounters he had on the Marsiva, while managing to be lucky enough to avoid the network.

His luck ran out once he was shuffled onto the Huntress. The video feed catches an unsuspecting Kurt Wagner tinkering with his watch and being increasingly frustrated with it as he keeps prodding at it.]

Come onnn.... Why won't it work? Oh man!

[ooc: Of course, if any other new characters want, they can alternately run into him before the Shuffle, anywhere on the Marsiva. Choose your own adventure!]

Man, everyone keeps talking about penguins and ponies... Now this I've got to see!

Magic tricks sound cool, too. But with everything I've seen back home, it'd have to be some kind of magic to really look different!

The penguin's name is Frobisher and the pony is Cheese Sandwich, and I bet you'll meet them. They're really nice. You should also meet Vision! He's a maroon. Uh. Android. And he flies. [And doesn't poop, but at the last minute she decides to not say that. Tact! She's learning it!]

It's not like tricks though. Like with cards. Actual magic from what Vanyel said. I don't know, it's really weird. What kind of stuff have you seen on your planet? Cool stuff?

Cheese... Sandwhich. [He finds the name odder than the fact that it's a talking pony.] I... guess I'll keep my eyes open.

Oh, I've seen all kinds of cool stuff! I don't even know where to begin. Hey, I can even do cool stuff!

It's not the weirdest name I've ever heard.

Oh? What kind of cool stuff can you do? Wanna show me?

Maybe not the absolute weirdest, but I never thought I'd hear about someone named after a sandwich, pony or not.

Oh, you bet! Where do I start? [Then he bamfs and appears on the roof of the ship, dangling upside down into the feed's range while surrounded by a cloud of quickly dispersing smoke.]

I know, how about here!

[Have an adorable squee of delight. You can't see it, but she's kicking her feet with glee.]

That's so cool!!! How do you do it, that's awesome!

[He laughs, that was quite the reaction!]

How? Well... It's just something I do! That's just how mutations roll.

Mutations? [... Is that a science thing?] So other perks can do that where you're from? How big a distance can that cover? You're so cool!

[She wishes she could do that. Maybe she wouldn't have broken every bone in her body after being thrown out of that building...]

['perks'..]

Gee, thanks! Um, well, a mutant is when a human's born with some random change to their genes. And it usually comes with some kind of power! My mutation? It's kind of unique! I haven't met anyone else who can go poof on me. And, um, the farthest I've ever gotten has been two miles!

Two miles? Wow! That's really cool though. Man, there's just so much you can do I bet.

Random gene changes, though... Do you guys like not go through genetic screening when you get implanted? Or is it the kind of thing that happens after? [The while process is rather abstract for her, to be honest. She's never had kids.] Not that I'm saying it's bad! Because you're super cool and what you do is amazing. It just sounds weird to me. I don't think there are. Uh. Mutations where I'm from maybe.

Yeah, I guess I can do a whole lot! [His tone shows that his ego feels very pumped up at the moment.] I just have to have an idea of where I'm going.

[But he looks increasingly concerned by what she's talking about.]

G-genetic screening? I never heard of that... That sounds kind of scary, honestly. We don't have anything like that at all. We just find out about mutations as - as they develop. It just... happens. [He'll just let the fridge horror of her statement sink in for a moment. Genetic screening... no mutations...]
