Hidden Gate: Fourth Wall Mayhem

[niceguypose]

Rock Lee sees all the new people and sees a challenge. He rushes back and forth, looking to perform whatever tasks are asked of him by the newcomers to have them settle in. He can show up pretty much anywhere, attempting to investigate these mysterious wingless people.

And here's Kurt. He knows something weird's going on while his holo-watch stops working. He tries to be careful in how he goes outside - after all, all the people recognizing him from a stay in Luceti that he doesn't remember is weird. But it's possible to catch him while at a snack raid at the grocery store, or trying to look cool and stoic at various vantage points throughout the village.

And Ralph is torn. Part of him wants to lock himself in his room, away from all the noise. But then he gets his hopes up about running into someone he knows, even just someone who'll know what he means about life being a video game. So he'll curiously poke his way around the village to see who he can find - and to try to keep Vanellope out of trouble.

[ooc: Pretty much a tag-all for my other characters - Rock Lee (niceguypose), Nightcrawler (wildbluevagner) and Wreck-It Ralph (gonnawreckit). While Aang is here. You know the drill, tag with whichever of the three you want.]

Hold the phone.

Uncle?!

[lightningclaws]

[ Did his voice just squeak ]

... Oh, I get it. You're younger, in this universe? Is that it?

[wildbluevagner]

I'm as young as I always was! But, ah... we might have some universal crossover going on here. ...Or time travel?

[This is so weird. She's definitely not Storm. And is a... niece of his?]

[lightningclaws]

The former, I think. [ She puts her hands on her hips, huffing clearly frustrated. She might not be her mother, but she's picked up a lot of her mannerisms! ] This wasn't supposed to happen! We were headed for Earth!!

[wildbluevagner]

[It is almost like a weird mirror. And it's hard to deny that she's related to Storm in some way. But Kurt tries to maintain his cool to make it easier on this newcomer.]

Earth can be surprisingly tricky to get to, especially in a place like this. Must've taken a wrong turn at a cosmic Albquerque!

[lightningclaws]

[ Despite her first instinct of asking what an Albquerque was, or her second instinct of saying that opening a portal with Thor's hammer didn't merit turning any corners, she laughs a little. Well, it was more of a giggle. ]

Whatever you say, Uncle Kurt.

But, um, where exactly is "this place", anyway? [A beat, and then, hopefully:] Are Mom and Dad here?

[wildbluevagner]

This place? It's called Luceti. We're on a world that pulls people from other worlds in. But see, the thing is... I'm sorry, but I don't know you. O-or who your parents are.

[lightningclaws]

Another one? Ugh. [Sighing a little. Just when she thought she'd escaped that whole shebang.]

[But at his last words she startles... Then slaps her forehead.]

Right, forgot, you're younger! [... Suddenly she hopes her parents aren't here, if it means meeting teenaged versions of them, oh.] Um, I'm Kendall Munroe-Logan. My mom and dad were Storm and Wolverine.

1/?

[wildbluevagner]

What do you mean another-

Wait.

[Storm and Wolverine.]

[wildbluevagner]

[wildbluevagner]

[wildbluevagner]

What?

[lightningclaws]

[Still that tone of hesitation.]

They're not your age [her age!] too, are they? Perhaps it'll be better if I don't show myself...

[wildbluevagner]

N-no. They're older and around the same age, but, uh... I just... I never imagined... them. [A look of grossed outness.]

But you shouldn't hide yourself. You're still one of us, after all.

[lightningclaws]

Yeah, they get that a lot too, even now. They're not really the most conventional parents either, I guess. Everyone always thought it was kind of weird.

Well, everyone except the Professor. And you, Uncle Kurt. [She smiles a bit.]

Though I'm not sure about being one of you. I mean, even back home you guys wouldn't let any of us do much of anything with out powers...

[wildbluevagner]

[Actual parents? That's so weird. It was easier to imagine her just coming from a one night stand, given what he knows of Logan... even if that was still very unpleasent mental imagery.]

Me? This may be something I'm going to have to grow into.

I'm not sure if I understand, but... we're all on the same page here. You're free to do what you want.
