[When a nervous looking Hisako makes her debut on the journals, she's still wearing her new feather clothes. There's a few awkward seconds of silence before she starts speaking.]

So...this is interesting. The wings thing. Nothing I haven't seen before, but I guess I just never thought I'd get a pair. They don't come with irresistible urges to eat birdseed and make nests out of twigs or anything, do they?

...I don't really know where I am or what's going on here, but...I don't suppose any of you would know where the X-Men are? Or even who they are. If no one's ever even heard of them then I probably just look crazy right now.

[Action]

[After Hisako's finally gotten her own clothes back on, she stands near the outskirts of town, with her armor up. She's experimenting with forming her armor to accommodate for her wings.]

[She didn't look too familiar, and he thought he knew all of those "new" mutants. Could she be from the future?]

You think you can just ask for the X-Men, and they'll show up? No way. You gotta know the password first.

[Video]

[loganyouarefat]

Well I don't remember Cyclops telling me that.

[Not making the connection that this would be Nightcrawler yet, what with the disguise and being so much younger...]

[Video]

[wildbluevagner]

So you know the Cyclops! That's a good first step. But I bet he focused on the boring stuff instead of the cool stuff. He can be like that sometimes!

[Video]

[loganyouarefat]

What do you mean "a good first step?"

[She is so confused...]

But yeah, he's kind of big on rules and all that.

[Voice]

[snikting]

Ignore the elf. What do you want?

[Voice]

[loganyouarefat]

[Well hello there Logan.]

Do you know what's going on? How many of us are here?

[Voice]

[snikting]

[There's no 'us' as far as he knows, so naturally he assumes Luceti.]

I figure it's somewhere around three hundred.

[Voice]

[loganyouarefat]

X-Men? [There aren't even that many mutants anymore...] That's not possible.

[oftheyin]

[Ran Fan comes across the girl when her armor comes up and can't help but admire it.]

That's amazing. [Which she accidentally let slip.]

action;

[loganyouarefat]

[OH hello there.]

Oh! Um...thank you.

action;

[oftheyin]

May I asked how you were able to do that?

action;

[loganyouarefat]

Well it's...kind of hard to explain. It's kind of like...protection passed down from my ancestors, through my mutant powers.

[calmbeforethe]

[Well, Ororo can see that Logan and Kurt have beat her to answering this. Of course, she's not sure if, between the two of them, all her questions can be answered, so she decides to chime in, voice curious but hopefully warm and friendly.]

I see Kurt and Logan have answered you already. But if you have any other questions, particularly about the X-Men, please feel free to ask.

Voice

[loganyouarefat]

[And another familiar voice...]

Oh! Hello, uh...your majesty?

Voice

[calmbeforethe]

[Have a startled stare, Hisako!]

Pardon me?

Voice

[loganyouarefat]

[...Oh.

This is just really not working out well for her.]

...You're Storm, right?

[ action ]

[touchofrogue]

[And now for something slightly different, Rogue's on her way out of town when she passes Hisako practicing.]

Nice trick.

[She said while continuing to walk on.]

[ action ]

[loganyouarefat]

[Hisako turns to look at the person that just commented, and...]

...Rogue?

[Not one of the X-Men she knows all that well, but still definitely someone she recognizes.]

[ action ]

[touchofrogue]

[Rogue paused, turned, and stared.]

Lemme guess - you know me in another life.

voice;

[entreats]

Oh, just wait until they compel you to jump off the nearest roof in an attempt to fly.

[ Her tone is easily noticed deadpan though - she's just joking, practically. ]

voice;

[loganyouarefat]

...Yeah, that sounds like somthing I'd like to avoid.

[A small, nervous laugh.]

[entreats]

Honestly though, they don't do anything as far as I know. It just seems like some really weird form of decoration. [ And by now, after all this time, she's really just used to it. ]

I've heard people say you die if you get them ripped off though. That's something else you might want to avoid.

[action] I knew I missed something!!

[selfhelp]

[Billy's on his way home from school - also in costume and taking the flying route rather than teleporting, since it's a nice enough day - when he spots a very familiar glowing figure below. He's followed the exploits of the X-Men pretty closely, particularly those post-M-Day, to recognize it, so he'll be flying down for a landing nearby, eyes wide.]

Whoa, whoa- Armor? You're Armor, right?

[action] hello there

[loganyouarefat]

[Woah. Someone actually recognizing her? She wasn't expecting that. It's definitely a welcome change of pace after she met so many people that didn't know who she was...but since she doesn't actually know Billy--she definitely recognizes him as Wiccan from the costume, but that's it--it's also kind of intimidating.

But not knowing him also makes being recognized kind of cooler, so she gives him a small, kind of smug grin.]

I am. Can't say I expected anyone to recognize me.

[action] c:

[selfhelp]

[The extent of his knowledge about her is limited to news reports of his time and what's in the Avengers archives, which... admittedly isn't much. But he's glad that it's enough for recognition, so he returns her smirk with a small smile of his own.]

Trust me, I felt the same way when I first arrived. Looks like you're taking it in stride, though- did you just get here?
