- Kid has posed:
Well, things have certainly become stranger and stranger in New York City, that is for certain. And that comming from a talking gorilla! Kid pondered the people he has met such as Thor and Raven, and the creature he has seen - a child of Ororoborus, and Lucifer himself. Each encounter different, unique and yet he often got to learn something about them or what their about. But one memory was eluding him - that of a stranger he met a few weeks past but for the briefiest of instances.
Everything about the encounter was strange. A serious of murder featuring mushrooms. A strange lady who seemed to float through floors, an officer who sees more than most know...and a cloaked man who dissappeared in a flash. It was that last one that stuck with him. He knew why...but
The sound of an angry horn make him jump out of his thoughts. He hits the car trunk denting it angrily and glareing at the driver before he continued on. At the moment he was disguised as a human within an illusion - a teenage mutant as it where
He knew what he'll do today...and so he traveled through GreenWhich in search of a man he has no name for. Silently sweeping through the surface thoughts of other trying to glance a glimpse, a sense of this person.
- Doctor Strange has posed:
There is a special sort of spell that was cast many many eons ago upon the very spot the Sanctum Sanctorum now rests. It is one of ancient magic that has long since been forgotten, but it's effect will last for millennia. The foundation and the house built upon it are generally unpleasant to look at, or simply too boring to look at. It causes the brain to want to omit it from vision or look away entirely. The more curious part of this magic is that if you are looking for a denizen or if you simply have a need that only cureable with mystic means, you will be drawn to this house in some way.
Stranger still, the door to the Sanctum opens aburptly at the smashing of the car's trunk not too far away and a figure steps outside. A man garbed in an tunic, with a sash tied around his waist and yet a pair of smart working trousers cover his legs and a pair of clean black work shoes, shoes that a dock worker wouldn't wear, but a business trader might. Light, functional and not much more. This man wears also a large red and gold cloak with a piece of jewelry connecting the folds of the cloak together before his neck and he looms over the sidewalk looking towards Kid.
- Kid has posed:
Needless to say...Kid was drawn to the Sanctum. Not that he really realized he was being drawn that way. He more often than not was simply going about his buisness. And yet...he found himself walking over towards the house...or more specificlly the man on the sidewalk. As usual, Kid had an air of anger and aggression about him...but yet it didn't seem directed at the man he was looking over quite openly, as if it was completly normal to do so.
After what felt like an eternatiy to the young gorilla he signs to odd man "...I know you, I think" he stares hard, and with each passing moment he felt more confident "You...undo illusions?" he than signs. A watch on his wrist translated his signed words in actual spoken ones in his stead.
- Doctor Strange has posed:
"I do, and so much more." Stephen says with a glance up towards the teen appearing man and yet Strange is no short fellow. "What is it you are looking for?" The oddly dressed man asks, his grey eyes lingering on Kid with a mild look of concern upon the wizard's face.
- Kid has posed:
Kid signs "You" he shrugs, seeming like many other 'lost teens' without much going for them. And yet his eyes brighten, seeming curiouse fascinated. A thrist for knowledge sparking...and other questions lurking. He signs "....I was uhh...curiouse. Last place we met wasn't exactly ideal. I was the well, the gorilla" he signs "Who are you?"
- Doctor Strange has posed:
"I do not remember meeting you- Oh, a Gorilla you say?" Strange asks, knowing sign language, as something he bothered to study during his medical training, but doesn't use too often, so he does ask Kid to resign a few things.
Stephen starts to try and sign back his own answers and questions but quickly gives up and resorts to using his own words, "So you were looking for me because you were curious who I was. There must be more to this story, yes?" Stephen asks, not exactly a patient man by nature.
- Kid has posed:
Kid lets out a beastial laugh and signs "no, not really, curiosity is what drove me to find you. I know nothing of you, except that we met under unsual circumstances. So knowledge was my goal. Seen alot of things, ghost and demons, giant water serpants, vampires....learned something bout each of them, but nothing about you" he rubs the back of his head a bit embarressed perhaps. But their probably was more to it than that, perhaps he was just nervous to say. Infact it was begining to bubble upwards. "But if you say you can do many things...than...maybe you can help me, if you got the time"
- Doctor Strange has posed:
"You should at least know I'm Doctor Strange, does that satiate some of your curiosity?" The wizard asks, with a shift of his head as he squints with a curious glance. "What kind of help do you need?" Strange asks, his eyebrow lifting as he wonders what a large teen who says he was a gorilla when they met first could possibly need help with.
- Kid has posed:
"Some." he signs. A Doctor? This cannot be a coincidence. It simply can't be. Kid signs "I am Jua...Jua Madala." A short pause as he glances around. He turns off his speaking watch...seems whatever was about to be said was a private affair - so signing was nice here "Genetic? Mental? Heck, I'll even take a miricle. Imma shoot straight at you. In a few years time, if I am lucky to make it that far, I'm going to die....and I got no clue where to turn"
- Doctor Strange has posed:
Strange's own curiosity was beginning to spike when suddenly, it becomes the same thing he's seen countless times before. Death. The great and fickle equalizer. As a neurosurgeon he would hold off death as long as he possibly could, as a wizard, it was something he was warned about. Something no one is to interfere with as it comes with a great price, and yet Stephen speaks, "Do you know how?"
- Kid has posed:
Kid nods. He suddenly seems very...uncomfortable, he almost seems pained "Aye. I know how. Well at least this is what I been told" he begins to sign. "Short of it is...whatever folks did to me when i was younger, messed me up real bad. i...have to feed on psychic energy to survive. Eventually...I just won't be able to syphon off enough psychic energy to live. In otherwords...starvation" he seemed pissed at this.
- Doctor Strange has posed:
Stephen lowers his eyebrow at the last word Kid signs, "Can you come find me next week. There is much I need to work on. You are now a patient of Doctor Strange. I will absolutely find a way to help you." The wizard says abruptly before he turns around just as quickly and marches up the steps to his Brownstone and disappears behind the quickly shut doors.
- Kid has posed:
Kid stares at the Brownstone building for a long long moment, not even having a chance to say good by. And yet...he felt something he hasn't felt in a long time: Hope. He considered going up...but something about the doctor said he best be on his way. He shoves his hands in his pockets and turns and for the first time in what felt like forever - he was smiling as he walked down the streets.
