So... i believe its safe to say that im thoroughly discombobulated!
I mean ...i suppose stuff of this caliber probably happens all the time to big shot superheroes like the x-men, but good gravy it wouldnt hurt to give a fella a decent warning before you go chucking him haphazardly across the whole freakin multiverse!

This wasnt exactly what i haggled for when i said i wanted off my island.
Not that im complaining of course! No siree!!
This place looks like a hoot and i plan on getting up to my elbows in some serious exploring!!
But i guess this summon was sort of like a need for superheroes?
Im not an x-man or an avenger or any of those other spiffy world saving types back home but ive got a whole lot of moxie and reckless bravado!! And i guess id like to help??

[Nepeta starts a little at the knock and then laughs to herself at her paranoia. even when expecting somebody she couldn't shake the instinctive caution at sudden encounters. she rises from the kitchen table and pauses just to make sure that the kettle's water is still hot before trotting over to open up the door.

she flashes Jake a tiny hesitant smile, nudging the door open a few more inches once she ascertains that he's probably the right person]


Hi! Did you find it ok?

Yes, that's me! I'm glad that your friend got you here ok - Darstone's nice, but I still wouldn't want to sleep in one of its alleys or something.

[her eyes do flick to the wings (subtly, as best as she can manage) because wow she was pretty sure that humans didn't have them? but there's no flinching away or change in her expression beyond that same hesitant curiosity. it's difficult to be judgemental when you're a gray-skinned horned alien with fangs and yellow eyes. especially one who knows all about being judged.

she tugs her hood in closer unconsciously, a nervous habit she'd never been able to break. then she pulls the door open all the way and backs up a little to give him room to come in. time to get to know the roomie better!]


Come on in! I kept the water hot so you can have some tea with me if you like.

Great! There's some cookies on the table too, although I kind of ate most of the chocolate ones.

[she admits this a little sheepishly as she pads over to the kettle and begins pouring the boiling water into the ready and waiting mugs. it's easier for her to relax in a familiar environment, especially since Jake seems to genuinely be harmless. it's nice.]

[she laughs - it reminds her a little bit of Gamzee. she picks up the mugs and sets one down in front of him before plopping herself back down in the chair she'd previously been in]

I guess the not chocolate ones are good too, huh? That's good to know! I haven't tried them yet.

Alternia. It's a planet in a completely different universe from humans where I'm from.

[well, that certainly told her he wasn't involved with the game at least. it's a little reassuring to know that he doesn't come with that possible judgement and danger.

she pulls her teabag up and down a few times, chewing on her lip a little. it's obvious that she wants to ask if he's human, but that is really rude and pushy and might go down a road of reciprocation she doesn't want. damn need to be socially cautious.]
