in the mountain: There's a city waiting for you on the other side of the gate. It's quiet inside and you can tell that the city has seen better days. Now it's half empty and there are only few residents on the streets. They look familiar, don't they? In the middle of the plaza is a small pedestal and on top of that a dim crystal. It's not bright or impressive but clearly Important.

in the forest: Uhh trees?

[ waves hand in front of him ]

Is this some blind aid tech?

[glared]

No. [pause. le exhale] I can't turn my power off without it.

I'm a mutant.

[crotchbite]

[crotchbite]

I'm sorry, what?

[glared]

[was it really that hard to guess i mean he has these freaky-ass glasses

his voice grows a little tense he doesn't want to deal with racism]

Is it going to be a problem?

[crotchbite]

[ she doesn't know why fairies and vampires and folklore shit are more easy to swallow than a mutant but somehow it is

she tilts her head slightly ]

I don't know. Is it?

[glared]

I don't intend to let it.

[crotchbite]

[ don't take it personally she has trust issues ]

Did you hear it? The voice?

[glared]

[beat.] The voice?

[crotchbite]

When you get here, some of us hear a voice, about a map. [ she didn't tho so she's wondering if it's the same with him ] Do you know anything about that?

[glared]

[...weird]

Can't say that I did.

[crotchbite]

[ crosses arms ]

Neither did I. So, you've been wondering around for... how long? Without a clue to where you are?

[glared]

[Seems about right. He nods.]

A week.

[crotchbite]

Have you kept moving since you got here? How long have you been actually in the mountain?

[glared]

I'm not sure. I just never stopped moving.

[crotchbite]

That's no good. [ hmm. stares at his visor thing ] What's this power you were talking about?

[glared]

I fire energy blasts. From my eyes.

[yep.]

I can't stop them without this.

[except when his eyes are turned into flowers i guess]

[crotchbite]

You-- fire from your eyes? So you're literally the embodiment of what if looks could kill?

[glared]

[pff. you managed to pull something close to a smile from him]

Something like that.

[crotchbite]

[ don't get used to it ]

Something like that, huh? [ that's fucking terrifying tbh ] I'm Hel, by the way. [ late intro ] Are you planning on staying or going back home?

[glared]

[Hel. He nods once.] I intend to find my way back.
