{{Poses
|Poses=:'''{{#var:1439|Kaydin (1439)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It was the evening and Kaydin was outside eating a slice of pizza. He was watching the various people move about and he was watching the setting sun. Once it set he begins climb up to the roof, not using his speed to run onto the roof. With a pizza box in hand he makes it onto the roof and relaxes, enjoying the view. nothing but time and food.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:80|Kian (80)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Kian finds the wind currents caused by the skyscrapers of the city simply amazing. There's nothing like them on his homeworld... but then, there's nothing comparable to a major Terran city on his homeworld. Like so much else, it's all new to him.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;He's had enough windrunning for today, though. It's time to go home, he's satisfied with his exercise for the day. Away from the tallest of buildings, he coasts along casually. It slowly dawns on him that he might have overdone it a little, and a brief rest would be welcome.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;He spirals down to a rooftop to catch his breath, not paying much attention to where. Now, he might have spotted Kaydin from above and subconsciously headed that way -- rooftop rest areas are not uncommon on his world -- or he might not have. But it's not until after he's touched down that he notices he's not alone, and catches his breath. Partly surprise, partly bafflement at how an unwinged person got up here.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:248|Megan Gwynn (248)}} has posed:'''<br>Megan Gwynn is out flying. Dressed casually, and not for nightlife, this time though. Buzzing over the city, she sees some activity on a roof. Specifically seeing Kian, and decides to come see what' sgoing on. She's usually the only weirdo flying in the sky.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:1064|Lexi Nemo (1064)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You know what the X-Mansion does not have? Buildings. Tall buildings, specifically. Sure, the Danger Room can simulate one, but it's just not quite the same for someone who misses the thrill of making an ascent without any gear or ropes to help her along.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Like Lexi, for example.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As luck would have it, she was pondering which building to make an ascent. Then she saw Kian fly through the air and land on one particular roof. Then a familiar looking Welsh fairy. That pretty much made up her mind as she slips into the alley next to the building, then extends her tendrils, flicking them out to wrap around some of the molding for the building as she rapidly makes her way up the side, digging in her toes to what footholds she can find, her tendrils bracing and lifting her where needed, until she pops her head over the side of the building, clinging to the edge. "Hi! This a private party?" she says politely to the trio, not knowing if this is some secret flying mutant meeting and oh there's Kaydin too. And he has pizza. This makes her immediately focus on the person with food.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:1439|Kaydin (1439)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Kaydin blinks when some sort of winged man lands on the roof beside him. "Okay thats new." Kaydin says as he looks to see another winged person land on the same roof. It is then the teen stands up and picks his pizza off the ground. When Lexi climbs up he opens his pizza box and offers it to them. "So it seems this roof is popular. How about that." He says with a grin.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:80|Kian (80)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Kian's eyes widen as another winged person touches down, and he backs up a step or three when tentacles appear over the building's edge. He looks like he's tensing to kick back into the air, but with an effort, he controls himself and re-folds his wings.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;So instead of retreating back to the sky, he bows and spreads his wings slightly, by ways of greeting. "Ah, /kie/," he says hesitantly, looking at all the strangers, each in turn. "I mean not in-t'rusion." Odd word choices, and a weird accent, almost musical in its cadences.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:248|Megan Gwynn (248)}} has posed:'''<br>Megan Gwynn squints at first Kaydin, and then Kian. "Hello. I'm th eone who feels like I'm intruding. I just... saw someone flying and I got curious." She does take a moment to look at Kian's wings, which are of course quite different from her own. Then there's another arrival, she's startled, and whirls around to Lexi. "How did you get up here?"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:1064|Lexi Nemo (1064)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Lexi grins, then flexes her tendrils as they lifts her up easily, walking her forward onto the roof before she lands on her feet, the tendrils retracting to disappear back into her body. "Climbed. I'm, like, real good at that." she says easily, making a beeline for Kaydin. And his pizza<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "Saw ya guys flyin' an' wanted ta see what's up, cuz I didn't recognize this guy." she says, nodding to Kian as she snags one of the offered slices, starting to scarf it down hungrily, then pauses, swallowing. "Also, hi!" she says cheerfully to Kian. "Haven't metcha yet. I'm Lexi." She looks between the others. "An' nice ta see ya again Megan, an' thanks for th' pizza Kadyin!" Cuz she's not -entirely- rude.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:1284|Tabitha Smith (1284)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The door at the top of the building bursts open and a blonde woman halfway falls out, though she catches herself before she ends up faceplanting. So, she more or less just stumbles.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;She's dressed in a pair of shell-pink leggings, a babydoll top of black printed with a picture of a vamped-out Angel (from Buffy the Vampire Slayer) and the text: "YOU STILL MY GIRL?"<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"Oh, hey." she says, looking at the assembled people. "Hiya. I'm Boom-Boom."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:1439|Kaydin (1439)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"Parkour much?" Kaydin asks as he smirks at Lexi and waves when Tabitha comes up and he looks to Kian and Megan. "Dont think either of you are intruding though if you want to come down and talk for a while I wont stop either of you. I am Kaydin." He says as he offers them some pizza.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:80|Kian (80)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"/Kya/!" Startled by the arrival of the newcomer, Kian /does/ take to the air this time, but gets control of himself before he's five meters up, and delicately touches down on the rooftop again. A little further away from Boom-Boom than he was at her appearance on the scene. "/Kian takh/... nnh. In Eng-lis, I know. I am Kian." He tries not to stare at Megan's wings, so different from any he has ever seen... and fails not to.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:1064|Lexi Nemo (1064)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"Yes, yes I do." Lexi points out cheerfully to Kaydin, then jumps a bit as the door slams open and Tabitha stumbles through, an alarmed look crossing her face before the other girl catches herself, bringing more a look of relief. "Did ya run th' whole way up, hon?" she says, two tendrils extending from her back, then curling out, sliding against Tabitha's back and under her upper legs to provide a comfy chair as she scoops her up and brings her over to her side, giving her a one-armed snuggle, leaning into her a bit as she sets her back on her feet. "Nice ta meetcha Kian...yer not from around here?" she asks curiously.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Then snags another pice of pizza and concentrates on stuffing her face for a bit.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:248|Megan Gwynn (248)}} has posed:'''<br>Megan Gwynn does a spin around, noticing Kian's curiosity. Facing away from him, she flaps her wings, and looks back at him. "No, mine don't have feathers. I'm not sure where you're from Kian. I'm Megan, and mine don't have feathers." Then looking to the others. "So there's a pizza place in this building? I didn't see the ground floor. There enough for everyone or do we have to fly down and get more?"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:1284|Tabitha Smith (1284)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Tabitha has a sheen of sweat on her poor tortured brow. "Yes." she says, still catching her breath. "I wanted to make sure I caught up to you." The blonde smiles as Lexi handles her, more so when she gives her a hug. "Looks like a reunion up here? Is this a secret clib meeting?" She smiles at everyone.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"Oh, your boyfriend is here, Lex." she says with a teasing grin, that must mean Kaydin.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:1439|Kaydin (1439)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"I was up here to enjoy the view while I ate. I then got two fliers and a climber." Kaydin says as he smiles as he offers the pizza to Megan. There was enough to share and he was sharing. "So what brings you here? Catching up to Lexi?" He asks curiously before looking to Kian.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:80|Kian (80)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Kian tries repeating everyone's names, but it's fair to say his pronunciation lacks accuracy. "Kay-deen, Layk-see, May-gahn, Tahbeethah," he says quietly, nodding to each as he mispronounces them.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Then he nods to Megan and Lexi both -- well, it's probably fairly obvious he's not local, seeing as they both picked up on it. "Yes, not of Ter-ra," he explains. "Long s'tory. Am not sure mysel' how I am here."<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;He repeats Megan's gesture, turning and spreading his wings for her examination. Maybe this is a polite greeting between winged people on this world? Well, even if it's not, it harms nothing.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;And he's proud of his wings, as would any of his people be of theirs.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:248|Megan Gwynn (248)}} has posed:'''<br>Megan Gwynn takes a deep breath. "Nice Wings, Kian. Well, I don't know about the rest of you, but... what do you say we get everyone fed?" Then turning to kian. "You do eat food, right?"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:1064|Lexi Nemo (1064)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Lexi blinks a bit, then gives Tabitha a small swat on her rear with her tendril at the teasing, before finishing off her second piece of pizza (she was savoring it!), then swallows. "Wait, so yer, like, an alien?" she asks of Kian, curiously. Though Megan totally distracts her by bringing the opportunity for foodage. "Yes! I don't wanna eat all Kaydin's food, it'd be mean." she admits, a bit sheepishly. Cuz she sould. Like a whole pizza. Or three. "Um, maybe Chinese? It's Double Dumpling day!"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:1284|Tabitha Smith (1284)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Tabitha laughs. "Hey!" she squeals. "That's my butt!" She nods at the idea of food. "I'm starved after all those stairs." she agrees. "Doubles of dumplings sounds fab to me. Maybe some eggrolls?"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:1439|Kaydin (1439)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"I can provide a ride if folks want to hold onto me. Discovered when I touch people I include them into my aura field which makes me fast. So yea." Kaydin says as he takes a bite of his pizza and looks to the others to see if they want to try it.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:80|Kian (80)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"I... do not /need/ to eat, no," Kian says with definite emphasis. "I can if I... shoose?" he adds, stumbling over the pronunciation. "So far Ter-ran food I have t'ried is safe. But I shoul' be tes-ted before t'rying more."<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;And then his nose betrays him -- whatever this pizza thing is, it does smell good, and he moves closer to the center of activity. "What is this?"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:248|Megan Gwynn (248)}} has posed:'''<br>Megan Gwynn grins. "Well, I was all for Chinese, guys, but it seems like our guest is interested in Pizza. So, bring a couple more up for everyone? Any objections, I should be able to buzz right down and get some. No need to climb or run."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:1064|Lexi Nemo (1064)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The mauve mutant grins at Tabby, the tendril pulling back again and vanishing, before she holds up her hand. "I'll buy!" she says cheerfully. "I'll eat mosta it anyhow...um, what do people like? I forget, are you a veggie girl?" she asks Megan thoughfully. She peers at Kaydin. "Um...I guess it'll be faster if we go to th' place, or are we bringin' it back here. Might be a lil' bit for th' latter one...""<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:1284|Tabitha Smith (1284)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"I'll eat whatever, and we know Foxy will. So... I'm good. Bring back some bananna peppers, though. Those're good." she says. "Or I can go down all those steps again if we're eatin' in."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:1439|Kaydin (1439)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Kaydin takes the money from Lexi and blurs down the stairs. A few minutes later he returns with more pizza. Enough to feed them. His own money was added to it and he offers his pizza to Kian. "It's called Pizza. It is one of the four food groups. Pie, candy, cake, and ice cream."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:80|Kian (80)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Pie, candy, cake, ice cream... "Pit-sa makes five, not four," Kian says pedantically, eyeing the foodstuff with a critical eye. "I mus' know -- there is no avian meat in this? I may not eat that." He hopes not. It smells good.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:248|Megan Gwynn (248)}} has posed:'''<br>Megan Gwynn tilts herhand side to side. "No birds in there. Just... cows and pigs in pizza. Except for the vegetarian ones. They have no meat at all. As for me... I like American style pepperoni and sausage." At that, she'll find a place to sit and dig in. "but when I'm not paying, I'm not picky. Thanks for the food.:<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:1064|Lexi Nemo (1064)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Lexi moves to help Megan with the pizzas, tendrils snaking out to scoop them up and set them down where everyone can get to them and opening up the boxes, before she sets down a stack of four next to herself and pops it open. "Bah, technically, pizza is, like, all th' best food groups in one perfect circle of goodness." she says, snagging a pair. "No problem..." she says, sitting in a graceful smooth movement until she's crosslegged on the roof. Though she uses her hands for the pizza. It's hard to juggle pizza slices with tendrils. "An' no avian meat, nope. They only got a chicken alfredo pizza that has it usually." She files away that away though; no avian meat. Seems fair. "So, um...Kian, how did ya get here if yer not from Earth?" she asks, tugging the pizza that has the banana peppers piled in the box closer to Tabby.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:1284|Tabitha Smith (1284)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"Thanks, babycakes." Tabby says, moving to sit next to the mauve girl. She collects a slice for herself and eats thoughtfully, looking from person to person as they talk. After a bit she switches hands and puts her near hand on Lexi's back, a fond gesture.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:1439|Kaydin (1439)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"No avian meat. It is sausage pepperoni and ham. All comes from an animal called Pig. Pigs are very yummy. Pizza is pie." Kaydin says calmly before getting a slice for himself and offers the pizza to Kian. "So where are you from. Clearly you are not from earth." He says as he watches the man.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:80|Kian (80)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Kian picks up a piece and studies it. "Yes, I am not of Ter-ra. My p'lanet is Kyshan. My peop'l are Akiar." True, but not very explanatory, probably. "I... do not know how I came here. There was... an... I don' know. One momen' I was on a ship to the homewor'l, the nex' momen' I was on this wor'l. My /rha'thar/... my... meta? Is that right? I thin'k. My meta did not like the ship d'rive."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:248|Megan Gwynn (248)}} has posed:'''<br>Megan Gwynn goes a bit quiet, resting a bit, eating, kicking back. St udying Kian, being friendly but letting him talk.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:1064|Lexi Nemo (1064)}} has posed:'''<br>"Your...meta. Is that like...a family member, or...something else?" Lexi says slowly, a bit unsure.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:1439|Kaydin (1439)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"I see. You look like one of our hawks. A red tailed hawk from the looks of things. Must be sad to be far from home. Can we contact them?" He asks curiously as he watches him and smiles.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:80|Kian (80)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"Meta -- my power? I thin' I hear them call that? Or mutation?" Kian tries to find the right word in the wrong language. "My power did not like the ship d'rive. I do not know sure." He sighs heavily. "Do not know location from Ter-ra," he says, a little glumly. "Home wor'l is los' to me. Coul' be any where."<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;He finally takes a bite of the pizza.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Any active telepaths present might very well 'hear' a mental (/!!/) as the little birdman's eyes go wide. He chews rapidly and swallows. "/c'Rhsy'yw/!" And then he takes a much larger bite.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:1064|Lexi Nemo (1064)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Lexi hmms and munches down on a piece..then another, fairly quickly devouring both, before she speaks again. "Ya have a power? Is it like somethin' all your people can do, or is it something special you can do?" she says curiously.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:1284|Tabitha Smith (1284)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Tabby sits mostly quietly, though she makes happy noises now and then while eating her pizza. For once in her life she doesn't have something smart of snarky to say. Hopefully she's not deathly ill.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:1439|Kaydin (1439)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Kaydin smiles when the birdman begins eating faster. "Good isnt it? And they get more toppings so they get better." He says with a smile and nods. "Well if you need anything, give me a call. This is my telephone number. Call it when you need help."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:80|Kian (80)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Kian nods once to Lexi, hurrying through his mouthful of pizza so he can speak. "Nnh, yes. All Akiar fly," he explains, spreading his wings slightly. "And are all telepathic. Those are not /rha'thar/, power. That I alone have. Ener-gy. I do not know the limit of it." He doesn't sound especially pleased about that last.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;He accepts the paper from Kaydin, and holds it at arm's length to read it. Which he finally admits, "I... can not read all of this. I am not yet good in Eng-lis."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:1064|Lexi Nemo (1064)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"Ya can just show it to someone if ya need ta have 'em read it? But there are places ya can go if ya need it to? If ya need a place, I mean." Lexi points out.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:1439|Kaydin (1439)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"Do you have a telephone?" Kaydin asks as he watches the man. "If you do then I can program my number into your phone so all you have to do is say my name." Kaydin says as he watches the man. "If you dont got a phone I can get you one and help you figure out how to use it."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:80|Kian (80)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"I have... f'rien's I can have read this for me," Kian says, "an' a p'lace I s'tay that has com-munication sys-tem." He tucks the paper into a pocket on his kilt. "I am not yet used to this wor'l. S'till lear-ning my way aroun'. An' the language."<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;He nods at the pizza. "An' I than' you for the in't-roduc-tion to pit-sa. If I ever get home, I will teach it to my peop'l."<br> <br>
