→ Tag around!

Possible Scenarios:

1. New Arrival: You have just arrived on the island of Medietas, in the city of Aerilon via a floating boat with people you may or may not know.

Arrival

Remy was sure that life was playing a cosmic joke on him. Somehow, he had gotten on the bad side of mama fate, and he couldn't think of how, but here he was, as proof. He sighed as he looked around the alien world, and ran a thumb over his jaw. Well, then. He would need to test a few things. But first, he needed information.

He grinned, and his duster billowing wide, walked forward into the crowds, a playing card glimmering as he flipped it between fingers as he walked. His eyes, red glowing against a black background, got a little notice now and then, but not as much as he had thought they might.

He raised a hand to the next person he saw who wasn't in a hurry and smiled. "Pardon me, but got a moment to help a poor Cajun out?"


Getting Settled

Remy was grinning. He was jogging along as he looked around the area, and found himself just grinning. It was a grin that was half-happiness and half-sheer irritation, but still. it was there. He had pushed his environment, he had shoved it, and he had learned a lot. And earned a lot, while he was at it.

He'd even done a little bit of work, even if that work had been a little bit play, too.

Since he had arrived, he had tested this place fairly well. He'd snuck into the palace, vaulting, digging under, and slipping past, the walls, and every time, he had woken up instantly upon getting in, back in his bed in his 'starter home'. He had been surprised, and wondered how, exactly, they had done that, but it seemed the powers that be had it under control.

He had hijacked a boat and ran it as fast as he could toward the wall, pushing it even after he had started feeling bad, and worse, and woken up, again, in his bed. This time, he had felt so bad, he hadn't bee able to get up for a few days. Following that, he had rigged a way to examine the underside of the bridges, even climbed down a little to look at the bottom of one of the islands, and had learned nothing. His attempt to stow away on one of the boats had resulted in him blacking out and... yes, you guessed it, waking up once more in his starter home.

He had questioned a few people, under private lock, and had realized nobody had any answers, yet. And while some were still looking, others were settling in, and some who were here were dead back home, making that make some sort of sense.

All in all, it had felt like a prison, and it still did, but it also felt like the best damn prison he had ever been in, including the Earth, and New Orleans, both.

So it was, today, a little over a few weeks into his life here, that Remy was seeing this place as just another opportunity. One that might last long, or might last short, depending on how Mama Fate decided to act, but either way, one he could exploit. Which he had been doing, some. He had gone and found games to play and join, some odd, some familiar, Apparently poker had found its way into the back halls of this place, and even into some wealthy men's hearts. And some wealthy men had secrets. Remy had exploited that and now had a small pretty penny or two hidden about the island. Just in case.

And as he jogged, he was grinning. His shirt was tucked into his belt as he trotted along, since Remy never did mind giving a show, along with his collapsible staff and a few other things.

Arrival

[magneticxman]

Lorna pressed her sun hat to her head as she turned to address the stranger who'd cone up behind her. She gasped when she saw who it was and smiled brightly. "Well, look at you. You're a sight for sore eyes."

Re: Arrival

[atiefwhenallelsehasfailed]

"Well, hello there, beautiful. How the heck are you?" He grinned at her, sizing her up, hoping she was in a better mood here than she'd been back on Earth.

"What brings a person with such a perfectly normal and uneventful life as yours to a place like this?" He waggled his eyebrows.

Re: Arrival

[magneticxman]

Lorna laughed. Some people took things in perfect stride. Of course Remy was one of them. "Feeling enormous, but good, otherwise. You just get here or have I been missing you?" She rested her hands on her protruding belly.

Re: Arrival

[atiefwhenallelsehasfailed]

"Been here a short while, but not been loud or visible, very much, anyway. Remy tends to fade into the background most of the time, just like he likes." And Remy talked about himself in the third person, sometimes, just like he liked.

"You look like you're ready to kick those babies out and charge them rent."

Re: Arrival

[magneticxman]

She laughed. "I am. I'm glad to see you, too. Join me for lunch? This little girl is making me hungry."

Re: Arrival

[atiefwhenallelsehasfailed]

"Sounds like a plan for me. Might even leave enough for you to eat some." he winked at her. He nodded.

"How far along are you?"

Re: Arrival

[magneticxman]

She laughed, giving him a light, playful shove. "You better." She wasn't nice when she was hungry.

His question made her smile. "Start of my third trimester. So I'm going to get even bigger, if you can believe it."

Re: Arrival

[atiefwhenallelsehasfailed]

Remy chuckled. "'M wounded, chere', that you'd think any less of me." He winked at her, then nodded.

He walked along with her. "Y' look beautiful, Lorna. You'll get through."

Re: Arrival

[magneticxman]

"thank you. So we better get the standard questions or if the way. What's the last thing you remember from home?" She wanted to know when he was from, if they were from the same universe.

Re: Arrival

[atiefwhenallelsehasfailed]

"A few months of working with you at X-Factor Inc." He rubbed his neck. And just after that, me taking a trip back home to New Orleans." He canted his head. "You?"

Re: Arrival

[magneticxman]

"Well, I'm from before that, but I met another version of you that was from after." They'd been close. She decided not to tell him that, though. "It's been more than a year since I left home."

Re: Arrival

[atiefwhenallelsehasfailed]

Remy nodded. "Sounds like a lot of fun for you." He grinned, then whistled. "Wow." He shook his head.

"Where've you been since?"

Getting Settled

[electro_kinetic]

Noriko had stopped visiting the docks waiting and watching for anyone she recognized after a month solid of seeing nothing but strange faces. She'd cut her losses, and fallen back into the routine she could make of her days here: up early, go for a run, come home to shower and change for work, and once off-shift she'd go wandering around the islands, trying to use up time.

Today, at that moment (right or wrong, however it would pan out), she was out for a run, skin sheened with sweat that looked like she was coated in glittering mica powder underneath her shorts and bra. She concentrated on her route, on dodging and looping the passersby that streamed around her, until she got to the halfway point, and simply turned her head upside-down, loosening her ponytail, and poured her water bottle over it.

Re: Getting Settled

[atiefwhenallelsehasfailed]

Remy was jogging when he spotted her, and swerved to follow her. Then he paused as she did and grinned. He waited for that perfect moment wit her bent and her head upside down, water streaming downward, to speak, his drawl thick.

"Now, there's a sight for sore eyes, chere'. Makes a man wish he had come along sooner." Remy'd never say that to anyone he couldn't joke with, but Noriko? He was better could take and give it, just as well.

Re: Getting Settled

[electro_kinetic]

"Not unless you like getting wet," she says. "May get soaked, even," Noriko amends, flipping her head back up and slinging water droplets off her hair, uncaring of them dripping down her back as she fastens it up again into a messy knot.

But when she sees Remy and the drawl of his voice clues in, her smile brightens and Nori leans back against the corner of the building she'd stopped at. "Same goes for you, Cajun," she says, shaking her head. "God, I'm glad to see someone I know." She didn't give him much more warning before she just tugged him in for a tight embrace, arms draping over his shoulders.

Re: Getting Settled

[atiefwhenallelsehasfailed]

"Getting soaked sounds like fun." Remy grinned and caught her, pulling her close and hard, smiling. He got it. He'd been far away from people he knew and who knew him for long periods before. He understood. His voice murmured in her ears as he held her, not carting if he got wet from her wet hair, and just inhaling her scent and stroking her back gently. "I've got you, Noriko. Not alone anymore." His voice was soft, for her ears alone, and he held her until she seemed to pull or push back, before letting go. Then he smiled down at her, lopsidedly. "S'good to see you too, NoriNori."

Re: Getting Settled

[electro_kinetic]

"Yeah, you'd think so," she murmured, half clinging to him out of gladness of knowing someone here, having found even a little bit of the familiar she'd been practically aching for.

"Oh my god, Remy," she said into his shoulder, fingers tightening against his skin. "I missed everyone so much."

Re: Getting Settled

[atiefwhenallelsehasfailed]

"I'm sorry, Nori. I'd a known you were somewhere locked away, woulda come and gotten you, no matter what." Remy'd done a lot of bad things, but he'd never left a friend, or a student, behind. He gently stroked her hair, holding her close, and just breathing, hoping he could find a way he help her get home, help her somehow. That sound in her voice, that had torn inside him, and he just held her close, feeling a need to do so himself, too.

"Not going anywhere, dat's for sure, okay?"

Re: Getting Settled

[electro_kinetic]

"You better not."

She's not letting go anytime soon, and if Remy feels her vibrating, almost trembling, Noriko's unlikely to admit it. But for the past months at home she's grown almost used to the frighteningly small current number of mutants, the two hundred that she could name and list without thinking, and as soon as she'd gotten past the shellshock of that she'd been here, alone, without anyone else who could understand.

Re: Getting Settled

[atiefwhenallelsehasfailed]

"Y' can count on me." He shifted, and half lifted, half shifted her toward s bench, where he sat and pulled her, whatever her size and weight, to his lap. And public or not, he snuggled her close, holding her to him and burying his face against her hair. "I got you, Norinori, I got you." His voice was gentle, warm, and quiet, and he was not letting go. One hand edged up and stroked her hair, and he smiled a little to himself.

Re: Getting Settled

[electro_kinetic]

She simply folded up, heavier than she looked but still tiny, and wound herself out of the way. In many ways it was better for her to see Remy rather than someone she'd been closer to, like Sooraya or David. It was easy to forget that they were all only barely adults, and unprepared for what had been dropped on them after the Decimation, and without any support at all the cracks were showing.

"I want to go home, and there's no way to leave."

Re: Getting Settled

[atiefwhenallelsehasfailed]

"I'm sorry, Noriko." And he was. He was not fond of cages. If he'd had a choice, or a Door, maybe, leading back home, it would be one thing. But this? No. This was a mess. And he hated, even more, that she had been stuck here, alone.

So he held her, and stroked her hair and back, and he remembered how his Tante Mae had done the same for him after he had come back from the tunnels. Noriko wasn't a child, just as he hadn't been one then, and he hoped she could take the comfort he could give. He pressed a kiss to her hair, and held her, and prayed for worlds where people didn't get lost in the chaos and noise.

"Can' take you home, chere', but as long as I'm here, you don' have to be alone."

Re: Getting Settled

[electro_kinetic]

She felt better in Remy's lap than she had the entire time she'd been here, and slowly she calmed down, the trembling ceasing as she lifted her head.

"I'm glad you're here, Remy."

Re: Getting Settled

[atiefwhenallelsehasfailed]

Remy gave her a genuine and gentle smile, and for once, forwent the smart ass comments. "Thanks, Noriko. Why don't we get somewhere a little more comfortable for hugging?" He smiled softly. "Think you can lead me somewhere like that?"

He raised an eyebrow. "Or you goin' to make me carry you dere, m'self?" He grinned as he teased her a little. He'd do it, for real if she needed it, and he hoped she knew that.
