---

Rift has posed:
Kitora Alua steps out of Mel's Diner after her 3-hour shift. It's near sunset as she looks around, trying to find an isolated spot. Slipping into an alley, a red glow would emerge from it as an eerie figure, glowing dully red but with red lines visible inside her body, rises straight up... upside-down as she ends up floating fifty feet up.

Crusader has posed:
High in the sky where the sun lights the clouds a brilliant orange....it seems relatively empty. Cusader was up there, currently flying around as a giant invisible manta ray...not yet seen.
    And than below he spots something rather interesting....a person glowing Red! It was an etheral site he has not yet seen. Well it not everyday you bump into another flyer...so he trails Rift untill they are perhaps a good bit away from the diner before making his presence knonw...or at least his voice "Hello...not often do we meet another flyer in the sky" the deep voice deep and oddly both synthetic and organic

Rift has posed:
Kitora Alua was flying along - though it's a weird kind of flying. She is apparently controlling gravity somehow, and is just 'fallign' horizontally as she travels along at a good clip, heading in the direction of Xavier's School... the sudden voice causes her to stop suddenly, as she looks around. "Who goes there?" she calls out, reaching into a pocket.

Crusader has posed:
A relatively comfortable distance away, the massive manta takes form. His underside is a silvery polished chrome, while his top-side resembles the nightsky, though it has a tribal golden sun etched onto his back. He has several tentacle like whiskers that lazedly move about, and large golden orbs for eyes.
    He glides through the sky "We are known as Crusader, we do not mean any harm" the deep voice rumbles out. He contines to keep his distance intent on not posing as a threat

Rift has posed:
Kitora Alua stares at the mantaray as it apparates as she just floats there, 'floating' upward to get a better look. "You can call me Rift..." she muses softly. "Just what are you?" she asks, curious, pulling her hand out of her pocket, glad she didn't need to try some self-defense. "I was just flying hope - I don't have a car."

Crusader has posed:
There is a deep hum as if the creature was in thought. And than it replies "If you mean species - we are enforcer...and a bit of mutant" he explains "It is a pleasure Rift" he circles about lazedly "And yes....cars. We do not bother with one, as we are far to heavy for convetional vehicles. Though buses and trains often work well. But flying is nice" he glides upwards further doing a simple summersault through a cloud

Rift has posed:
Kitora Alua flies upward. "I'm a mutant. When I'm not using my powers, I look mostly human - but the moment I start messing with gravity, I look like this..." She winks. "I try to enjoy it to the fullest." She hmmmms happily. "I was just heading back to the school." She ascends higher, and she can even see the distant building there.

Crusader has posed:
"It is good you enjoy your powers....it seems so many are unable to or afraid. We are able to alter forms...this one is for relaxing after work. But when on the job.."his form changes and seems to liquified in mid-air looking like it was all goo. And *just* at the core one can see a vagely human like form.
    The goo engulfs this form and forms a new one around it. That of Crusader. He clasp his hands behind his heavy liquid metal cloak, and despite being in the air stood utterly still and straight. And...well he looked /alot/ less gentler than that manta way...downright intimidating to most folks. "We appear as such"

Rift has posed:
Kitora Alua raises an eyebrow as you start to collapse into a tall figure. "So... you're... ummm... made of liquid... or something? Neat... wow, you're tall..." She ponders. "Should we go to the ground? We're almost over Xavier's grounds and... one like you would probably not be welcome... without a prior invitation..."

Crusader has posed:
"This form is our largest...of our humanoid ones anyways. We are not complete" he raps on his chest, the sound of metal hitting metal ringing out "Our....Host body is quite human like you" he explain simply "Most of the time anyways"
    He looks to the ground "Hmmm, yes, most folks do not appreciate tresspassing. We would not want a School to feel unsafe" he notes, his tone never much changing. He nods in agreement and floats down in a precise and controlled manner, touching upon the ground with hardly a sound.

Rift has posed:
Kitora Alua nods as she reorients herself and 'falls' towards the ground, head-first, and stops a few inches off the gorund, staying upside down, then slowly rotates and lands on her feet, smiling widely. She's still glowing.

Crusader has posed:
Crsuader watches with a stoic expression "You have very good control of your abilities it seems. What are you...a" he looks over Kitora appraisingly "Senior perhaps? Or perhaps you gained your powers earlier than other mutants" he wonders curiously. "Still, One must admire your control" though his difficult to read expression or lack-there-of made it near impossible to tell what he is thinking

Rift has posed:
Kitora Alua smiles. "I don't have much else to live for right now... I got them when I was 12... and... my parent paid for it." She sighs softly as she just slumps down, hanging her head. "I hate thinking about them... I get so sad. When my powers kindled... I almost killed them."

Crusader has posed:
Crusader listens intently and actualy puts an astoundingly heavy hand on her shoulder. There is a distinct sensation he wasn't even putting the whole weight of his hand on her shoulder "Many mutants seem to have similar problems. One has seen....various mutants before. Being the cause of pain is not easy...but remember it is not your fault" he says "Hmmm, but perhaps it might be good to find a goal as something to look forward towards"

Rift has posed:
Kitora Alua nods. "My powers went out of control - the house collapsed. From what I can tell, Mom's still in a wheelchair. But... I only know this fourth-hand for they all severed contact." She takes a deep breath and the aura fades, revealing a Japanese teenager with red hair and red eyes. "This... isn't hair dye. I tried to dye my hair black. But when I turn my powers on, it all is washed off."

Crusader has posed:
Crusader removes his hand "Your parents severed contact. One sees. We...do not understand this kind of pain. One parents did not even know One was a mutant untill...we were around 40 or 50" he admits.
    He rubs his tendrilled beard "But you do not know first hand. Are you sure they are the ones that severed contact and not some other entity?" he asks curiously. He looks at the Japanese girl and the unusally colored hair and eyes "Hmmmm. You look fine as you are"

Rift has posed:
Kitora Alua nods. "I know... but I look just a bit different." She gazes back at you. "You seem like a nice guy." She just sits on a nearby stump. "I just odn't know what to do with myself. I'm trying for a scholarship, though I might just go for being a professional chef."

Crusader has posed:
"At worst you look like a Japanses woman wearing tinted contact lenses and a a wig. At best...you just look like you. We can understand how you feel though...the part of One that was human does not exactly fall into the ctagory of normal looking theirself" he explains
    A minor chuckle "First time someone has reffered to us as a nice guy" he rubs his tendrill beard, a few of them wrap about his arm. "Well, you can likely get scholarships for being japanese, for going down a career in being a self, and who know their may even be scholarships for being a mutant these days. Seem you have a good head on your shoulders"

Rift has posed:
Kitora Alua raises an eyebrow. "You do seem like a nie person..." she muses. "But I don't know you that well. You said you had a more humanoid form? Could I see it?" she asks as she stretches, watching you curiously.

Crusader has posed:
"One is what One is. Mean or nice...One does not generally care how others percieve them" Crusader says simply. "And no....One said this was the largest of his humanoid forms." he rubs his beard in thought "But one can show you another humanoid form, one does not see a problem with this." he gives pause "....fair warning...One might seem different....understood?"

Rift has posed:
Kitora Alua raises an eyebrow. "Different in appearances?" she asks faintly, clicking her tongue. "Or do your different forms have different personalities?" she asks. She ponders the situation. "Either way - it's good to make a new friend."

Crusader has posed:
"Guess you will find out. What life without a little Mystery?" he asks, his expression staying neutral throughout it all. And with that his form again begins to change. His once beard of tendrills turns into a regular fully fluffy beard, he grows large tusks, and he loses his armor, instead appearing in just cargo pants armored boots and bracers on his wrist, but otherwise no clothing. His ears become pointed and his skin is more or less pure white. A harness slung over his chest carries a rather large and unsual looking spear.
    He gives a big stretch and looks around with a half lidded expression. He scratches his belly and gives a loud echoing burp "Heya kid"

Rift has posed:
Kitora Alua just stares at Vorn. "Ummm.... hi?" she asks. "Not what I was expecting..." She tilts her head, gazing up. "You look like something from Lord of the Rings..." she muses, as she slowly walks around Vorn. "So... hi?"

Crusader has posed:
Vorn gives a deep beastial laugh "Haha. Very clever, and you look like a firetruck." he crosses his arms "What were you expect Redhead? Some sort of old man or somedin?" he grunts out. He was definintly alot more expressive. He begins cracking his back and checking his limb. He turns his arms and legs 360 and back "Not been out in ages!" he than turns his torso completely around so it looks like his back is where his front should. He than turns his head 360...and it just all sorts of twisted "Alright, so got any food on you Cheft Rift, rifty, riften river person girl....thing. Whatever, got food?"

Rift has posed:
Kitora Alua shrugs. "I didn't think I needed a snack btween the diner and here. You hungry, Crusader?" she asks, clicking her tongue. "Or... do you want to go by a different name like this?" she asks, eyebrow raised.

Crusader has posed:
"No, got no need ta eat or junk. Just like ta" he grunts out cantankerously. "And itz Vorn" as it stands not only is he more expressive, but also sounds remarkably different from Crusader. He rights his body back to their proper positions "Might be the same person, but different too."he hmmms "Any fightin ringz bout these parts?"

Rift has posed:
Kitora Alua shrugs. "That's not really a thing that happens around here - you might find some boxing or wrestling down in the big city." Her watch starts beeping. "Oh! It's almost dinnertime at the cafeteria! I need to get going."

Crusader has posed:
Vorn rolls his eyes "BORING!!! We need ta get some explosionz und fightin happenin" he proclaims "Now that should get the blood pumping" he rolls his shoulder "Bah, find, get going. Got cars ta smash or somedin anyways" he turns and begins back in the direction of the diner. Hopefully there won't be any smash cars by the next morning!
