Multiversal travel can be disorienting, but there’s no need to worry! All side effects are temporary and lessen with each trip. Your body may experience several sensations at once: being pushed forward as if a hand is resting on your back, momentary and startling blindness, a gentle ringing in your head. You may have difficulty discerning whether it is hot or cold, but where you have been prodded is noticeably warmer than the rest of you. Some may suffer dizziness while others are perfectly fine. You notice that the area you are in is filled with a soft cerulean light and feels slightly humid and dark despite the glow around you. Regardless of your current state, however, the stress of transit forces your body into unconsciousness.

Waking up is another story. Or maybe it isn’t.

You find yourself in a nondescript room; sometimes with others who have found themselves in the same situation, sometimes alone. Welcome to Avagi Station, your new home.

New arrivals are, of course, welcome to explore the various locations around the station. Additionally everyone is provided with a communicator in case they want to pose any questions to the population already residing on Avagi.





Moon 900CA1





Like every city has a junkyard, this universe is littered with (mostly) uninhabited planets or moons that are being used for the same purpose. Welcome to one of the many universal "dump sites" of the galaxy. Moon 900CA1 is one of many, a celestial body belonging to the planet of Ploria, and as this area of the universe is technologically advanced in comparison to others, so is a majority of the junk left here. There is a haze encompassing this moon and breathing masks are needed for anyone who decides to visit the surface. Every inch of ground is covered in debris, various spacecrafts, and machines. Some of it is piled higher than one can see over if standing at the bottom.


spare parts:
What’s even better than having to trade precious goods or services for the equipment that the station so desperately needs? Getting them for free. Well, free with the added ingredient of elbow-grease. Stocking up spare parts is a must when traveling the universe. This planet is brimming with discarded ships, machines, vehicles, and all manners of "outdated" technology. You’ve been given a list of things to keep an eye out for while you’re out shopping but feel free to pick up something for yourself. After all, one species’ trash might be your coolest thing ever.

build-a-thing:
While it’s clear that most of the visitors here are scavenging or looting, there are a very small number of booths scattered throughout where vendors have set up shop. Is there something you need or want? New jet-propulsion space shoes? A small flying craft? A robot? These vendors will use scrap parts that you’ve found and brought to them, for a small fee of course, to build it for you. Be sure to bring the best parts that you can because you’ll only get the highest quality that you’ve provided.

trash junkies::
Such large stacks of trash are bound to shift and move over time, it’s simply a natural part of this moon’s gravity fluctuations, but why is it that the movements are perfectly in sync with every step you take? You move, the debris moves. You stop, the junk stills. If you choose to investigate, or get too close too quickly, you’ll discover that you aren’t alone in your scavenging. Creatures, varying anywhere between a foot to over ten feet tall, dive and sort through the debris. They are diligent in their searches and shy away from organic contact of any kind. If you have anything that they deem of value in your hands, they’ll wait until your back is turned and then try to take it from you. On the plus side, they don't seem too dangerous?

moon tomb:
Those who choose not to wear a breathing mask will notice a horrible and overwhelming scent wafting gently on the wind. It’s a scent that is familiar, but you can’t quite place it. At first. The ACE devices coordinate with your respiratory functions, and a small notice will flash across the screen: High concentration of decomposing organic material. Some will know what this means and head back to the portals immediately. Those who don’t, or are too curious, will follow their ACEs to areas with much higher concentration levels and stumble across an equally common occurrence on these kind of disposal planets: bodies, of varying species, discarded for one reason or another. There are thousands of them spread out among the refuse, and the further you explore, the longer your ACE warns of exposure to elements of disease. Now might be the time to turn back...

[She knows someone else has come in the room, but doesn't turn to have a look as she's far too distracted with the swirling mass outside. It's not until she hears the voice. A familiar voice. Painfully, familiar. Her stomach twists tight before she ultimately turns her head and sees precisely who she suspects she will. Kurt.

He's here too. There's a flash of anger boiling up from her chest. They shouldn't have taken him too. If there even is someone to blame for all of this, she's already planning just how to hurt them. She steels her voice of any emotion before speaking so that he won't have any inclination of her thoughts. It's not hard, she's been doing it for so long.]
Kurt. Fancy meeting you here.
shadowblends: (❧ copacetic)

[personal profile] shadowblends 2018-02-17 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
[she finally turns to face him and kurt's shoulders stiffen, wondering if he's going to be corrected or not. when his name is spoken, he slackens at the realization that it is his fellow blue mutant in disguise.]

Raven, [the teleporter breathes with relief this time, lips quirking at her response.] And you, I'd say.

[he wonders — offhandedly — if she happens to remember any time as a moiran, but resists asking for the moment.] When did you arrive?
personify: (taking a leap)

[personal profile] personify 2018-02-17 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
[It hurts to look at him. To see her own failures reflected back at her. At least he's grown into a fine young man, even if it had been without her help. Raven turns completely from the force field to step closer to Kurt.] It's been two days. I haven't really... adjusted. This place doesn't make any sense.
shadowblends: (❧ sneaky)

[personal profile] shadowblends 2018-02-17 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
[he's been traveling with this group for a little more than a year now, and the last time he'd seen her was almost eight months ago. the fact she's made a reappearance relieves him in a way he can't explain, especially considering how well she looks. surely, this meant their homeworld was in the same condition?]

It doesn't at first, but you'll get used to it. Every day I come up here, I'm reminded that yes, I'm really in space and it's— [a pause, attention briefly averting to the storm.] Amazing, [he finishes, returning his gaze to her while stepping further in.]
personify: (dangerous)

[personal profile] personify 2018-02-17 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
I never really spent much time thinking about space travel. And certainly nothing like this. [She'd never had much time for daydreaming or worrying about what laid beyond. The ground right on Earth held enough problems.]

[She keeps her eyes on Kurt, watching him as he gets closer. He's not about to... hug her, is he? She's not sure she's mentally prepared enough for that, but she doesn't step away to remove the option, just yet.]
It's something, alright. How long have you been here?
shadowblends: (❧ excuse me?)

[personal profile] shadowblends 2018-02-17 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
Neither did I, but considering the circumstances ... [he raises a hand, motioning vaguely to their current surroundings, mirth clear in the way his lips curve higher.

don't worry, raven-- he isn't going for anything that sentimental. they're still a good arms-length away once he stops, both arms moving to tuck loosely behind his back, posture stiff as a board.]
A year or so now.
personify: (looking out)

[personal profile] personify 2018-02-17 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
[Raven stares at him, brow furrowing deep.] A year.

But I've only just saw you. At the mansion. [It doesn't make any sense. Is it time travel, perhaps? Something else?]
shadowblends: (❧ troubled)

[personal profile] shadowblends 2018-02-18 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
And the last time I saw you was about eight months ago.

[he shrugs, head shaking before he turns his attention back to the storm outside.] Time means very little here. I know people from years in the future.
personify: (kicking ass)

[personal profile] personify 2018-02-18 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
I was here before...? [Hm. Well, this isn't at all strange. She doesn't remember that.] Who else is here? Who else has been here?
shadowblends: (❧ battle)

[personal profile] shadowblends 2018-02-19 09:54 am (UTC)(link)
You were. [he stops there, wondering if he should really tell her or not.] Erik is here, but there was a different one before him. The same goes with Charles, although he's left again. Peter and Jean were here, too ...

[the way he lets the sentence trail off should say enough.]
personify: (mysterious)

[personal profile] personify 2018-02-20 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
And you've stayed behind each time. [Alone, yet not. But Erik is here now. She's not sure yet how to feel about that. The place is still in one piece so that's perhaps a good sign.]

[The next thing she says is said after much debate and reluctance to reveal sentiment. She's not good at this kind of thing, okay?]
How have you been here...? Are you alright?
shadowblends: (❧ reflective)

[personal profile] shadowblends 2018-02-20 11:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure have. [easy agreement-- something kurt's become used to. it's easier these days, just smiling and nodding. he's so tired, but can't lose strength in front of his mother mentor.

he blinks at the question, head absently tipped to the side. her odd sentiment doesn't go unappreciated, though.]
For now. It's been ... an experience, to put it lightly.
personify: (kicking ass)

[personal profile] personify 2018-02-21 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
It certainly sounds like it. [She agrees, having to stop herself for nearly saying she's sorry, as though she could really help any of this at all. But it's really everything else she's sorry for, the things she can't ever say. Or can't bring herself to.]

How big is this place? I haven't found any sort of map... [And she's yet to find an end, after quite a bit of walking. There seems to be quite a lot to see.]
shadowblends: (❧ sly)

[personal profile] shadowblends 2018-02-22 10:22 am (UTC)(link)
Having other mutants around has significantly softened the blow. [had he been the only one here when he'd arrived, maybe things might have hardened him a bit more, taken away some of that softness kurt somehow keeps through every situation. suddenly, he's really glad raven distracts him with more questions about their location.]

Big enough, [he notes.] There isn't much of a 'map,' but I know my way around, if you'd like a tour?
personify: (will shoot you)

[personal profile] personify 2018-02-23 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[Raven smiles lightly at that idea. If anything it's an excuse to spend time with him.] Sure, if you've got the time. I'd like that.
shadowblends: (❧ attentive)

[personal profile] shadowblends 2018-02-25 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
I have the time, [he reassures, a smile of his own appearing.] Or else I wouldn't have offered.
personify: (looking out)

[personal profile] personify 2018-02-25 02:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Excellent. Then lead on. [She gestures for him to start toward the door and she'll follow behind.] What's your favorite spot on the ship?
shadowblends: (❧ you don't say)

[personal profile] shadowblends 2018-02-28 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
[and kurt goes when raven gestures, no hesitation as he passes through the doorway.] I'm torn between saying the library or the greenery.

Both of them are great for their own reasons.
personify: (kicking ass)

[personal profile] personify 2018-03-02 10:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Can you show me the greenery first? If it's closer, anyway. [She'd love to see some green and plants, feeling more than a little couped up in these walls around them. At the first opportunity they get to get to a planet that's something more than a giant pile of trash, she's going to leap at the chance.]

What sort of other people are here? Aside from mutants?
shadowblends: (❧ chary)

[personal profile] shadowblends 2018-03-06 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
They're both about the same distance from here. We can go there first, though, if that's what you'd like. [he'd have a reason to check up on his little alien plant there and maybe this raven would like it, too.

which, in some manner, makes him awfully wistful. it doesn't stop kurt from heading toward the direction of the greenery, lips curving up again.]


All sorts. Humans, other people that have powers but aren't mutants, magic-wielders, metahumans. [things that are better explained by the actual sources.]
personify: (will shoot you)

[personal profile] personify 2018-03-07 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, I would like that. [She agrees, walking beside him, watching him over their surroundings as they walk.] Magic? You must be joking. [She can't help the scoff. The other things don't make much sense to her either. But that seems the most improbable of the group.]
shadowblends: (❧ study)

[personal profile] shadowblends 2018-03-10 07:10 am (UTC)(link)
[while he continues leading them, the blue boy does a neat heel-turn and begins walking backwards, his tail bobbing excitedly behind him.] Don't believe me? Ask some of the people about it!

[kurt doesn't think he knows anyone that can do magic (aside from nate's pulling a dino out of a hat trick), but he could be wrong. not everyone he's met has told him everything about themselves.]
personify: (looking out)

[personal profile] personify 2018-03-10 04:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[He's so happy. Part of her wonders how that even happened. It's no thanks to her. And certainly not a trait he'd inherited from either her or Azazel. She's glad for it, but- ah there's that guilt again and Raven is quick to push it down.] I will, perhaps I'll meet a wizard.
