[Video: start. Unimpressed teenager with slicked-back hair and a cranky expression: appear.]

Okay, so either the Professor is pulling a huge fuck you on me for leaving, everyone in this town is sharing some kind of mass delusion, or I actually got kidnapped to a Japanese city in another world to fight monsters.

Someone remind me why I'm believing the third one?

[He rubs at his eyes, then looks a bit more cheerful as he keeps speaking.]

Free room and board just for beating shit up, though. The place I came from could learn from this Philemon guy. All I wanna know is if there's any other mutants around - that's Homo Superior, the evolution beyond humans, not whatever you might call mutants in some other world. As good as this all sounds, I'm not sticking around if demons are my only alternative to humans.

[And he's done.]

((ooc: rather pertinent rewrite after he got the details about the place and actually kind of liked them. facepalm.))

I'm familiar with pyrokines, I can give you some tactical suggestions if we ever work together.

[ex_outofcontrol435]

I know my mutation.

[Still bristling quite blatantly. But he said tactical, and Pyro's never gone beyond 'throw fire at shit' before, so maybe it's not a completely useless offer.]

Yeah, maybe.

I've been a soldier of the legions for 200 years of war. I can be of assistance in terms of directing you to maximum effect, though i wouldn't presume to tell you how to use your abilities, I can tell you where to strike to win a fight.

... and you're willing to work with me. Just like that.

[He's still smarting from being called "scum" - it wasn't "freak", but it still had the flavour of home. Of the Government, and the police, and his parents.]
