001 ☁ Action

[temperedtempest]

[Waking up alone in an unfamiliar forest location was nothing short of alarming, but Ororo figured that perhaps she shouldn't be too surprised. This came with the X-Men package, it seemed, and this was hardly her first kidnap... But for there to be a repeat (successful) attempt, almost made the distant, rumbling thunder too difficult to contain.

[Terra is heading through the plaza as well, a bit lost in thought. She nearly walks into the nearest person, then abruptly steps back just in time.]

I'm sorry! I didn't mean to---

[The white sundress catches her attention, of course.]

Oh, you just arrived?

[temperedtempest]

['Ro simply smiles warmly at the young girl, hand out to steady her in case she loses her balance or something.]

It's quite all right, no harm done. But yes, I did just arrive... Is it that obvious?

[esper_flight]

[She only wobbled a bit, and regains that balance quickly. Upon hearing the question, she nods.]

Yes, that clothing is what the Malnosso give to all the newcomers...well, all the female ones. I'm not sure why, since we can find out real clothes at the clothing shop. If you want, I can show you where that is...?

[temperedtempest]

Ah, I see. [She nods, both in understanding and in affirmation to that last question. It's nice to see people with the initiative to help.] That would be very helpful, thank you.

[Diana also happens to be at the plaza at this time, and she doesn't hesitate to approach Storm when she sees her. The New Feather dress is a good indication that this woman is probably confused as all hell and needs help.]

Hello.

[temperedtempest]

[Hm, it's not every day that she's stopped by a stranger for a hello.]

Hello. Can I help you?

[orchidsandfire]

I was about to ask you the same question. I can tell that you're new here.

[temperedtempest]

[She smiles gratefully.] That's very kind of you. What gave it away?

[With class over and no meeting to go to, Kurt and Kitty are on their way back to their cozy apartment. At least one of them hasn't even noticed a familiar face in the plaza.]

Man, I can't believe we got so much homework again. When am I supposed to get time to hit up the Dome now?

2/2

[phasingly]

[Kitty walks beside him, equally oblivious to things, carrying a small stack of books in her arms. She rolls her eyes at Kurt's complaints.]

Seriously. Who knew world sharing class would be so much work? Aren't we supposed to just like, sit around telling stories?

[temperedtempest]

[She almost doesn't see the two - but fortunately both their voices are distinct and very familiar to Storm. She pauses, looking around for a moment before heading in their direction.]

Kitty? Kurt?

[onebluebamf]

Yeah, well- [Kurt stops as he hears his name and looks up. Oh man, that's a voice and face he recognizes. ]

Ororo!

[generalflirt]

[...What's this! And exotic beauty in the morning?! A gorgeous woman with her hair sparkling in the sun?! The one and only Masaomi Kida cannot ignore this!! He needs to pick his angle though. ...

But then he notices her walking into the clothing store. That's his chance! He goes in right after her, and in a clear violation of everything that is right in the world, cleverly (and covertly, maybe) slips to behind the always unmanned counter over to say-]

Welcome to our store!!

[temperedtempest]

[Storm glances up, blinking. Hm, she could've sworn that the journal said things were free around here?]

[Still, she'll give the young man a nod and a smile.]

Thank you. I was told we could find our own clothes in here?

[generalflirt]

That's exactly right, ma'am! Might I help you in your search~? [Complete with this face from behind the counter, nodding to himself]

[temperedtempest]

[What an amusing kid.]

I think I'll manage. Though I'll be sure to call on your assistance, if I need it.

[She's just going to browse a little, looking for clothes that she can wear... Oh! There's someone else in here. She smiles in greeting.]

Hello.

[temperedtempest]

Yes, I arrived earlier this morning. [Her smile shrinks the slightest bit. How does one get used to the idea of being in another world?]
