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? ]

wild card, de chima

[goldtoxicity]

[ scott summers is here.

scott summers is here and everything is terrible. scott summers is precisely why when new people came around, he always tried to make himself scarce and avoidant. it never worked - it's kind of hard to hide when you're gold - but the sentiment was there. he has a lot of baggage, he has a lot of emotional problems, and also an extremely avoidant personality. so really, everyone should just be glad that he gets out of bed every day.

but josh is nothing if not predictable when in a complicated mood. autopilot kind of switches on during the day all smiles and like he doesn't have a dark thought in his head, and when he's off and he can't distract himself, it's party time. he gave that up for all of, what, a month? whatever, he's still being mostly good!

he's heading out of de chima general hospital as the sun is setting. his hood is up, a hat is stuffed over his white hair, airpods jammed in his ears, and from a distance, he's really just another dude, jangling his keys and humming something that sounds suspiciously like a good charlotte song (it is, in fact, a blink 182 song and he's not very on key) and honestly he almost walks right by her. would have, actually, if he was looking where he was going and not barreling straight into her like the world's most gianormous tool because he's firing off a pissy text to someone. ]

Oh, shit, I'm sorry!

[xmarksthescott]

If only Domino were here, you could probably clean them out.

[ scott's breath smells like he's had a beer or two, but he's next to dani now with a hoodie up to cover most of his obvious suit. ]

Hey, Dani.

Heropa

[mysterioisthetruth]

[Quentin Beck lives in De Chima but he does like to make appearances in other cities and it is today he is flying through Heropa, trailing a thick cloud of green smoke. Perhaps some people near to Dani have stopped to look up and point at the sight above but now he is landing - right near to her. He's dressed in what appears to be some mix-up of Thor, Dr Strange and Iron Man - a futuristic-looking, lit-up armour chestplate; gauntlets; green suit showing underneath; a heavy burgundy cape - which also has light-up areas in its pattern - and a smoky helmet than looks like an upturned fishbowl. He's not subtle at all and as a few people approach him, the helmet retracts and disappears and he's beaming, chatting and signing autographs for the small crowd.]

Maurita Falls

[helpdesk_hero]

[Today has been a busy day. And the best way to unwind after one of those tended to be time with people he cared about. Which normally meant that he stayed home and the people came to him. But tonight was special because he needed to get the hell away from home, given he was a bit stressed over certain new arrivals. So instead David was walking from the local porter, a canvas bag over one shoulder stuffed with ingredients for a complex meal he was going to throw together for Damian once he got to the other man's house. Not his preferred cooking location, but no way he was going to run into Scott.

He is more than used to ignoring the people on the street, and just walks past them with no problems, humming to himself under his breath until...

Until a program he left running on his glasses picked up on a familiar voice. Something from back home. And David froze. Unbelieving.]

Dani?

maurtia falls

[darkov]

[it's alright; she won't have to deal with the heckling and badgering for too long at all on this particular night, because a sudden little parade of terrified, agitated vermin darts out of an alley and cuts through the lot of them, startling and interrupting enough of them to get them well on their way from the mutant.

terrified, agitated: rats and a couple fat raccoons that had caught the whiff of Darkov blood, a thing that all animals find repulsive and are compelled to either flee from or lash out against. thankfully, tonight there's enough space for them to do the former, rather than chase the boy around; it's too cold for that, anyway!

it does leave him staggering in surprise from when the raccoon had exploded out of the dumpster near him, and he's plopped into the snow looking really baffled, but otherwise unharmed.

he lets out a shaky exhale after a moment.] Huh...

A thing

[timetravelandguns]

"Hey, I think the waffles place is this way..." Nathan knew this new world was annoying because sometimes things changed without explanation. Not often, but... he hated that. he grinned a little as he glanced aside at Dani, though.

"This world isn't so bad when we are not dealing with the idiots being idiots factor."

@ Maurtia Falls

[divaricate]

[ Dani might not (yet), but Wanda would — she happens to be a few feet behind Dani. The most recent person to bug Dani finds wisps of scarlet magic surrounding their arms, and then are flung back a few feet where they're effectively pinned against the building. Not hard, but enough to send a message. ]

Sometimes, they need a little shove to get the idea. [ ha ha, nice double meaning Wanda, hilarious. She releases her magical grip on the person. who does, in fact, move somewhere else. Quickly. ]

Maurtia Falls

[onthe_threshold]

The lady asked you to move along.

[A stereotypical gentleman's warning? Yes. It's made a lot more serious sounding by the fact that the gentleman in question is six foot five and built like a brick shithouse. It's also quite clearly not much of a warning because the very second the dealer opines that Matthew can perform an impossible sex act upon himself, he simply breaks his arm with a thought.

Completely ignoring the now howling dealer and his unnaturally bent arm, Matthew regards Dani curiously.]

You alright?

Heropa, Slight Wildcard

[fridgeflower]

[ Laurie had gotten the heads-up from David that Dani's here now. They're actually in the middle of a back-and-forth regarding what to do about it, just in the sense of re-introducing herself. She knows that Dani's gotten word that she's around, but… Still. You don't want to pop up on somebody who last saw you dead, right?

Just her luck, then, that she rounds a corner and sees Dani coming in the opposite direction. She stops in her tracks, a grocery bag gripped in one arm. Oops? ]

Uh… Hey.
