*suddenly in camp, a young man in a wheelchair making an off-handed comment -- almost as if he had been talking to someone -- in a rather posh British accent*

So... not 1962, then...

((ETA @ 4:45AM EST: HOLY SHIT I'M GOING TO BED will pick up old and new threads over the course of the coming days!))

[That wheelchair looks vaguely familiar]

Did you seriously come from the 60's? Man, I feel lucky we're only a few years off.

[blowsurmind]

Just a few?

[chicksdigfuzz]

Ten years isn't that bad compared to fifty, right?

[blowsurmind]

Probably not.

[chicksdigfuzz]

Then I'd say we got off easy!

Also, this may sound weird, but have we met before? You look like someone I know.

[blowsurmind]

I dunno! My name's Jubilee! What's yours?

[chicksdigfuzz]

No way, it's seriously you! I mean, a different you.

I'm Kurt Wagner. I know a Jubilee back where I'm from, but I don't know if you know another version of me.

[blowsurmind]

Oh my god! Is that you Nightcrawler?!

[chicksdigfuzz]

The one and only!

Although I guess I shouldn't be saying that if there's more than one of me. But you get the idea.

[blowsurmind]

Man, it's great that you're here, but you're like totally younger! That's gonna take some gettin' used to.

[chicksdigfuzz]

Really? You're around the same age as the Jubilee I know. How'd your me get so old?

[blowsurmind]

No clue. I guess that's how it is in alternative worlds or something.

[chicksdigfuzz]

Man, I bet every other me I hear about is going to be older. At least I get to hear about what an awesome guy I become.

[blowsurmind]

What's the other me like?

[chicksdigfuzz]

Fun! Kind of a mischief-maker, but fun. All the younger kids kind of egg each other on with pranks and stuff.

[blowsurmind]

That pretty much sounds like me. Remind me to tell you that I replaced Cyclop's ruby quartz glasses with a pair of Foster Grant's. It caused two thousand dollars of structural damage.
