Everything blurs and you're walking a different road...

Mikaal had needed to get out.

In a purely physical sense, he'd had to get out of the apartment, find a new place, settle himself somewhere. On a more emotional plane, he'd needed to get away from Tony so that he could think past the pain that seemed to burn right at the center of his chest

Dan was walking; he had no use for the bar - he didn't want to drown himself in alcohol and bad company. He really wanted to find Rorschach, talk to him, find out what he knew, if anything. He'd been idle for too long and that restlessness was starting to well up, like bile at the back of his throat.

He noticed he was not alone.

At first, he almost thought it was Jon there, walking toward him. But when had Jon -walked- anywhere? He couldn't recall him ever doing so; ever transporting himself in a blink of the eye.

"Hey." He said, when he came level with the man. "I haven't seen you before."

Mikaal tilted his head up, silent at first, before glancing around.

Considering what he did on occasion, being transported just about anywhere anyhow wasn't at the top of the list that might bother him. That it had been done without his notice, however, unnerved him greatly. Having spent 12 years of his life in a blur, missing something like a complete shift in space and possibly time was a little disturbing.

"I haven't seen you either. Or this place."

Because the day could go from bad to worse, apparently.

Dan approached, cautiously; there was something about this man that made his defenses flare. It was probably the blue skin - not that he held some deep grudge against Jon, it was just -- well, maybe deep down, he resented him. For not sticking around, for having more power than any one person should ever have. For not being human.

"These are the roads, I guess. I haven't been here that long myself." He began. "It's like bits and pieces of other words are collected here. People, too."

Mikaal took a minute to take the other man in, to consider his words, and finally came out with--

"I've never heard of such a thing."

And considering some of the spacetime madness he'd been involved with during his trip with Jack, that said something.

"What does it want?"
