driftfleet | Video + Marsiva

Who: Kitty Pryde
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Marsiva, hospitality deck
When: Current

[It starts recording without her realizing it. She's exploring her new surroundings cautiously. She places a hand on one of the cots and then pushes it through as if the cot weren't there at all. She removes her arm and both it and the cot are unharmed. Just testing her powers, don't mind her. She got worried when she realized her claws were missing.

Then she gets a better look at her communicator. It's a different model than she's used to.]

Is this another prison?

[It wouldn't be the first time the AIs sent them to a new facility. A space prison is as fitting as anything else, but there's usually some kind of message about it. This feels different.]

Is anyone from the Defense Force around? [Pause.] Or the X-Men. [She couldn't really be home though could she? In space?] Or anyone. Preferably someone with a light. [She can't find her lighter, but she still has a pack of cigarettes on her.]

(OOC: So, the coloring they used in AoA often makes her hair look reddish or blond, but I doubt the post-apocalyptic reality was really where she was going to start dying it. If you have known a Kitty Pryde, please just assume she looks like her—possibly younger or older. Shorter hair though. <3)

...Sorry, the name doesn't ring a bell. ...Or the nasally challenged part. ...Maybe the Prof just hasn't found him yet.

It wasn't really the [Pause] Prof who did in my world, so maybe that's it. [Though a lot of the other members made it together.

Yeah? Oh... I guess things are just organized a little differently between our worlds! [Nervous laughter.]

More than a little. [Noting the nervousness though, so she isn't going to push it.]

Oh. [His smile falters a little, but he tries to maintain a lighthearted tone.]

D-different worlds, huh? They're... like the box of chocolates. You never know what you're getting!

It's okay, Kurt. You don't have to hear about it. [He seems so innocent. She doesn't want to change that.]

[He almost wants to say thanks, but he's not sure if he really feels it. The way she says that seems to confirm it's something bad... so Kurt feels guilty about letting her carry that by himself. And he feels like he's just a big kid for hiding from something like this.

But he still doesn't feel like he's ready to hear. So he frowns as answers her.]

...I- I guess I don't. But... you know, if you ever want to talk, or tell me about anything... I can take it, alright? [That's the compromise he'll settle with. If it's something that will help a Kitty, that will make it worth listening.]

[It's okay, she's had people she could talk about it with in the past and Rogue seems like someone she could talk about it now with. She just smiles at him softly.] I know you could. Thank you, Kurt. I'm okay, really. [More or less.]

Well... It's good to hear that. [He smiles softly.]

Keep up the okayness! Or maybe try to aim for an 'awesome'!

Being adorable is part of your power set, isn't it? [Teasing as much as complimenting. She doesn't even know what to do with his version of Nightcrawler, but she does like him.]

[He chuckles bashfully.]

It just might be. I know that I was born with - I can tell that much at least! [Not even he knows what to do with himself, so she's not in bad company. Rather, ridiculous company]

[She just shakes her head, amused.] So, how do I find you once I'm off of this spaceship?

You have to climb the tallest tower, fight a dragon and use a magic spell to wake me... [He pauses for any potential laughter.]

Or we can just work out a normal meeting. You can take a shuttle over to me in the Huntress, or I can head over to wherever you end up. Or we can meet on the space station! [He smirks.] Just look for the guy in blue.

That's okay, I had enough dragon fighting at the prison. [They were dinosaurs. She never fought the actual dragons.]

Sounds like a plan though. I'll see you when I can.

Whoa - totally cool! [He'll just take that at face value.

And he raises a hand to sheepishly wave goodbye.]

Yeah... I'll see you around! It's - it's been good to get to know you, Kitty!
