So, is anyone else, like, totally weirded out by all this stuff? Not like Bayville didn't have it's own problems, but, like, this is completely off the "sci-fi" scale. Not even the Professor talked about stuff this out there.

Anyway, speaking of "weird stuff"... does the word "X-Men" mean anything to anyone? I'm just, um, curious, that's all.

[Poor Kitty is too distracted by everything around her to realize that she hit the wrong button and the video is still going. Don't mind her -and the phone camera- phasing through a wall to the outside.]

[ She's looking seriously annoyed, and a bit incredulous. ]

That uniform... Please don't say your name is Kitty Pryde. Because it totally looks like something I would wear.

[notinthecards]

Means something a little different to me, I think. But there quite a few of us here.

Why is this so messed up?

[valley_cat]

[She doesn't have time to dwell on "what this person's problem is". Not when her name is out there.]

Um, yeah, actually it is. ["How do you know that?" also seems pointless, given the latter statement.]

Please tell me you're not saying what I think you're saying.

Yep. Kitty Pryde here, in the flesh. This is... pretty weird.

[She knows that accent, but the voice is different. So are a lot of his features.]

You... you're Gambit, aren't you?

You look... different.

video

[valley_cat]

What do you mean?

Video

[valley_cat]

...This is way too messed up. "Pretty weird" doesn't even begin to cover it.

Video

[unbodied]

So the X-Men are still together where you're from?

[unmasking]

Two Kittys, two Peters, two Gwens ...

I'm not the only one. Somebody take a handful of different universes and make jambalaya out of them, I think.

So far, everyone mostly make me feel like an old man.

[Video]

[valley_cat]

I guess that makes the most sense. There are, like, some seriously strange people on the street right now.

...Well, you do look kind of old.

video

[valley_cat]

Oh... that. I didn't realize there were so many doubles.

...Yep, this place is totally freaky, and I want out.

Video

[valley_cat]

Uh, yeah, we are. Wait, are you saying your X-Men disbanded or something?

Video

[unbodied]

Things have kind of gone to hell in a handbasket since the government's involvement in creating mutantkind was revealed.

video

[unmasking]

It'd be great if you could all go back home, yeah.

[dontmesswith]

Kitty? Where are you?

[Video]

[notinthecards]

Asked for that.

You a friend of Rogue?

video

[soracles]

I'm kinda getting the idea that it's never not weird here.

[mostly referring to the walking through walls he's just witnessed. there are a lot of things Sora can do, but so far, disregarding walls isn't exactly one of them.]

What's an X-men, though?

[valley_cat]

Rogue? Oh thank goodness someone I actually know know is here.

I'm outside the hotel.

You know I never ever contemplated a universe in which the X-Men weren't a thing before, but it seems to be a common worry.

video

[valley_cat]

Great. Just what the doctor didn't order.

[She sighs a bit; this place is almost too strange to wrap her mind around.]

O-oh, it's nothing. Just a silly codeword my friends used back home.

[Call it a habit, but more she keeps under wraps, the better it usually is.]

Video

[valley_cat]

[Yeesh. No wonder she's grouchy.]

...What do you mean the government created us? How is that even possible?

[Video]

[valley_cat]

You can say that. We met the X-Men about roughly the same time, and we've been kind of close ever since.

She's still, like, a tough cookie to crack, though.

[Video]

[notinthecards]

That never change, not in any universe.
