goesthruphases | first phase ❁ [action // voice]

[This isn’t the first time Kitty’s woken up in a completely different place than where she fell asleep. In fact lately, it seems like all the crazy stuff happens to her the moment she closes her eyes. First the thing with her powers manifesting in the middle of the night and waking up on her basement floor, then the thing with Danielle, and now this. Is a good night’s sleep really so much to ask? Or maybe she’s just being dramatic. There’s a pretty good chance of that.

All she knows is she definitely can’t seem to shake this weird feeling of déjà vu. Even the wings didn’t surprise her much. Or, well, maybe a little at first, but she kind of has bigger things to worry about because the more she wanders around, the more she remembers. And soon, she’s stumbling upon the village. She walks through the town square, her bare feet dirty and still wearing her Newfeather sundress. She runs a hand along the fountain’s smooth stone, peers in each storefront window, studies every face that passes by for any hint of familiarity.

Eventually she stumbles upon the doors of Seventh Heaven, drawn by the familiar smell of cooking. She isn't hungry, but it feels like a safe place to sit down and gather her thoughts. So she takes a table by the window and cracks open the strange book she found next to her when she woke up in the forest.

A few minutes of studying, and that weird déjà vu is back again as she goes through the motions of making a post. She's done this before. She knows it.]

Um... Hello? [She bites her lip, unsure of what to say next.] My name's Kitty, and I know this sounds kinda crazy, but I think I've been here before. Everything is way too familiar. But I don't even know how I got here...

[Or even where here is. Could this be some kind of hallucination? Is this going to turn into some kind of nightmare? She was sharing a room with Danielle, after all.

But no. It's too real. This can't be a dream. Yeah, she's said that before, but...

Now she totally feels crazy and the realization that she might be trapped and alone in this weird place with these wings on her back is starting to sink in. Her voice wavers a bit.]

Can...can anyone tell me if they know someone named Kurt? Or maybe Rogue or Ororo? I don't know why, but I have this really funny feeling they might be here.

[At one point, this face will be pressed against the window of Seventh Heaven. No, it is not someone who knows Kitty. Rock Lee just happened to spot New Feather clothing through the window as he was walking past. Even though he could be barely heard through the window, he tries shouting a declaration.]

Hello there! Do you require assistance?

[Congratulations, Rock Lee, you've managed to SCARE THE SHIT OUT OF HER!

Kitty's already on edge, and with her frazzled nerves, she does something she hasn't done in quite a while: loses control of her phase, making her slide right through her chair and landing her flat on her butt on the ground behind her.]

Woah! [Oof.] Huh?

[WHAT HAVE I DONE. (and what did she just do?)]

I AM SO SORRY!

[It takes him a second to realize he's still shouting through a window.]

[So he quickly rushes into the establishment, towards the fallen Kitty. Then uses the same volume to shout.]

I AM SO SORRY, MISS!

[WHY ARE YOU STILL YELLING???

She scrambles away from him, totally creeped out at this skeevy guy who is FREAKING OUT. Though he did just see her phase so, maybe for good reason, but wow.

She quickly gets to her feet, brushing the hair from her face.]

It's okay! You just startled me. I guess these chairs are kinda slippery, huh?

[See? Just slippery chairs. Nothing out of the ordinary. Please stop freaking.]

[Rock Lee smiles at this affirmation, not paying much mind to her freaked outness.]

Oh, I am sorry for that. You know, from where I was, it looked as if you were the slippery one! [He gives a small laugh.] However, as I meant to say, I am here to help you, as you are clearly a New Feather!

[Phew. Disaster averted. Mostly, anyways.]

New Feather... That's what they call the new people, right?

Yes! I see you learn quickly. My name is Rock Lee! I have only been here two months myself, but I will do everything in my power to help you find your way in this strange new world!

Actually, I'm pretty sure I've been here before. I'm just hoping I can find some of my friends on the journal.

[Sorry, well-meaning creepy guy. You still skeeve her out.]

Then I apologize for that as well! I should not have presumed based only upon your New Feather clothing. You do already know how to use your journal after all. I am still willing to assist you in any way possible as you seek out your beloved comrades.

[He talks pretty funny too.]

I guess you could tell me if you know anyone named Rogue or Kurt or Ororo. I'm pretty sure they were here the last time I got stuck here.

I... have never met anyone by any of those names. I apologize.

[Now this is really starting to get awkward. Her words come out as something of a nervous giggle.]

Oh, well, that's okay. Thanks for trying to help, though. I'm sure I'll find them somehow.

[She'd really rather find them on her own at this point.]

It is my honor, as well as my shame to fail so quickly. I hope so sincerely that you can find your beloved comrades again! I myself am lucky that the two comrades of my ninja cell are already here, although my most wonderful Gai-Sensei is not.

Well that's good. I don't know what I'd do if I was alone here. Or, well, the people I managed to talk to said they were, at least.

[She presses her lips together, then decides to say what she wants to anyways.] Just a word of advice, though. When you want to help someone new, it kinda helps to take the gentle approach, you know? Like, don't come on too strong. It might startle people.

I apologize if I offended you! I supposed it is because youth and recklessness go hand in hand, that I channel my energy without proper consideration.

Um... yeah. Maybe.

[What a weirdo.]

So, um, I guess I should be listening to the journals now, huh? In case my friends get my message.

Of course! I shall disturb you no further, Miss, so you may seek your most beloved comrades. Should your require my assistance at any point, simply call for me through the journals. It has been an honor to meet you.

Yeah, okay. Sure. You too. [I guess.]

I wish you luck! And now... farewell! [He dashes out of the establishment, probably knocking some things over in the process.]
