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

[ Give me your own prompt in any of the cities. PM me or reach me on plurk if you have any ideas. ]

I'll just have to wait and see what happens.

[ She makes it obvious that she doesn't like saying that. At all. ]

He was like a son to me. He still is.

[helpdesk_hero]

[And that Josh lost that fact, lost that there was an X-Man who loved him, an adult who cared about him, was the absolute worst.]

I wish I had known, Dani. I would have started teaching him about you again.

[starsandmoon]

It's okay, David. It's not your fault. [ She pauses, and rubs at her chin. She always knew he kind of had bad-blood with some other older mutants. ] I should say he already knows I'm his teacher, but... I haven't told him anything else. Not yet, anyway.

[helpdesk_hero]

I can... bring it up if you want?

[Maybe he can find a way to make it work again? He knows telepaths. Maybe he can get someone to recover those memories.]

[starsandmoon]

Maybe. I don't want to make him feel guilty or anything. He has enough going on.

[ That's her main worry and the main reason she hasn't brought it up herself yet. But she also doesn't want this to last forever, so she pauses and contemplates, tapping her chin. ]

But you're right. We're going to have to bring it up eventually. It might go over better if it came from you.

[helpdesk_hero]

[Guilty? Somehow David doesn't seen that happening. But he's going to work on it.]

I'll handle that then. Because Dani? He... he loves you in a way he doesn't love the family he had.

[He got to see that first hand. Got to see Josh so desperate to protect the only good parent figure in his life that he nearly drained himself dry just to protect an illusion of her from David.]

[starsandmoon]

That I do know. His own parents basically disowned him.

[ Unless he was referring to the other adult X-Men. But either way, she frowns when she says that and shakes her head. ]

I'll leave it to you. Thanks, David.

[helpdesk_hero]

And you, Dani. I'll... try and keep you updated. Seems like the situation is very complicated. And do me a favor... when you see Laurie? Hug her. She deserves all the affection after what she's had to learn about herself back home. But she's still going strong.

[starsandmoon]

That'll be appreciated. Thanks again. And it is... [ Very complicated, that is. ] but you don't have to worry about the rest, I'm gonna give Laurie a hug regardless.
