Heropa

[ New world, new place? Just another day for Dani. She wished stuff like this would stop happening to her already, but she knew it didn't work that way. She had not been here for very long, but after getting what info she could from whoever the hell was in charge of this place and then being shoved off on her own afterwards, she decided explore around a bit, hoping to find some of her own kind here or maybe other friends she made a long the way. Either way she was looking for her people and others who could help her out.

She most likely would be wandering the streets and park asking people if they could tell her more about the city. She wanted answers. Or she could also be found sitting down somewhere playing with her handy dandy knife because she was just that bored. Or just knock her down or something idc. ]

Maurtia Falls

[ During the day time, Maurtia Falls seemed like a nice quiet, quaint city, but at night time that proved to be rather incorrect. Crime-wise it reminded Dani of just about any other large bustling city (not as bad as New York, but still somewhat up there) and now she regretted taking a walk around outside in the dark. Not because she was worried and she couldn't take care of herself -- quite the opposite, actually -- but because the people out and about at this hour were annoying and really starting to grate on her nerves the more she got pestered. The card sharks and dealers were relentless and Dani was half-tempted to just shove them to the ground, but she was an X-Man, she wouldn't do that. Not yet, anyway.

She could only sigh and pinch the bridge of her nose. Ugh. ]

Oh for the love of... I already said no. [ More bugging here. ] Yes I think it would be better if you moved along somewhere else. In that direction.

[ Why were these people like this? ]

Wildcard

[He'd be grateful she doesn't know of him or other versions of Mysterio - since his arrival about five months ago he's had many, many people point out that Mysterio is a villain in their world and he hates that he never had a second chance to prove otherwise. Or, at least, he doesn't consider himself a villain. He very much thinks he's as much of a hero as he portrays on the surface. Unfortunately, it is only show and he's proven many times that he's manipulative and selfish and dangerous and very much not a hero. But at this moment, he's very much acting the heroic part and he can be very convincing.]

Of course. I take it you're a new imPort?

Unless you just want to ask about me.

[starsandmoon]

[ Everything will start to click with Dani once she hears the name Mysterio, but that's assuming he even gives it to her in the first place. And even then, she'll only start giving him the 3rd degree once he starts doing supervillain things.

But as of now, she only nods her head at him. ]

I am. I've only been here for about a week or so. I wanted to ask more about this place... but before I do that I probably should ask for a name?

[ A pause. ]

I'm Dani.

[mysterioisthetruth]

[And that he's about to give as he's proud of it and doesn't learn a lesson that maybe changing his 'superhero' name would give him a fresher start.]

I'm Quentin Beck.

[He holds out a hand, still very polite and friendly.]

You may also call me Mysterio.

[starsandmoon]

Mysterio?

[ That Mysterio? The one that Spider-Man fights sometimes? Dani sounds little skeptical when she repeats the name, but it dissipates rather quickly. She shakes his hand regardless, though. ]

It's... nice to meet you.

So anyway, I take it you've lived here for a while? Judging by the crowd from earlier.

[mysterioisthetruth]

Yes, I've been here for about five months and a lot has happened in that time.

Luckily you just missed the recent apocalypse. That's not something that happens every day.

[He says that in a lighter tone than one might expect.]

[starsandmoon]

[ Mysterio isn't even the first person she knows that would talk about these sort of situations in such a light manner, and Dani doesn't know how the feel about that. She sighs and rubs her head. ]

I guess I should get used to the idea that I may be here longer than anticipated, huh? Has anyone ever actually gone back to where they belong yet?

And an apocalypse... I dealt with enough stuff before, that hearing that doesn't even surprise me anymore. [ A pause. ] Sadly enough.

[mysterioisthetruth]

I've heard some people have been here for years and yes, people have vanished - presumably back to their homes - and some even have returned. As far as I can tell that's never been voluntarily. It just happens randomly. We really have no control over that.

Which... is why we should make the most of our time here.
