First Post: Henry McCoy, the Beast

[inquisitivehero]

OOM: Pre-Milliways


Hank bounds into the room feet first with the grace and precision only a nearly 600 lbs. cat-like mutant can manage, landing in a crouch with one claw on the ground. He quickly rises to his feet. His eyes widen in surprise as he watches the room, seemingly trying to see it all, and everyone, at the same time.

With an absentmindedly look, his fingers press over a large device in his hands then places it in a pouch on his belt.

Drawing aside from the door to a nearby table he looks around the room, eagerly taking in everything. His eyes glow in interest as he sees the bar and how people react to it. He then catches sight of the observation window. His eyes widen and a smile comes to his face. It is the smile of a child who has fouind a new toy.

"Oh my stars and garters! Breathtaking!"

He stretches like a cat, an almost seven foot tall, and almost 700 pound blue-cat- the shape of a man,a dn then casts his gaze around, his mind racing in amazement.

And while the Beast was looking around the bar and its environs and peoples, one young woman sitting at a table with a book and stack of papers was.... watching him.

He's the first blue person she's seen. Furry, however...

Somebody's watching...

[inquisitivehero]

Feeling the intensity of a glance, Hank looks around and sees the young-looking and beautiful blonde. With a toothy grin he approaches her table and clears his throat, a sound like a purr crossed with a motorcycle.

"Good evening, my dear example of pulchitrude at it's finest! My name is Henry McCoy, PhD, but my friends call me Hank. Ahh, bnot to intrude, but can you tell me where exactly I am?

Re: Somebody's watching...

Svava blinks, and ducks her head with a faint smile. "Um- its really hardly intruding, specially since I'm guessing you're rather new here?"

A quiet chuckle, and she stands up. Nothing quite out of the ordinary about her, she's wearing jeans, keds, and a blue blouse. She motions to the Observation Windows, then to the bar in general. "This is Milliways, at the End of the Universe. My name is Svava, and its nice to meet you, Hank."

"Indeed, my prescence in this particular segment of space-time is moments-old. It is a...remarkable place."

Words seem to fail him for a moment. As she speaks again he smiles and then sweeps her a wide bow, his eyes glinting with good humor,. his mouth curved in a clothes-jawed grin, only a few teeth showing.

"My greetings Svava. It is a pleasure to make your aquaintance. Ahh, which End of the Universe, by the way?"

And then he looks around and the back at her...

"And which universe for that matter? I somehow doubt this plane is located in the direction or ambience of my own residence."

With a quiet laugh, Svava curtsies- a feat she can pull off wearing pants.

"As to which universe, that's quite a good question. In your world and time, do they know of such things as other worlds? Aside from traveling in starships to other ones beyond the sky? This place here, Milliways, touches a great many worlds and times. Some of them are quite similar, just different in a few ways. Other worlds are quite different, but they still touch here. I'm not sure which End of the Universe this is, though given how many places it touches, maybe its all of them?"

She looks over to the Observation Windows herself, biting her lip. "Even when other worlds are gone, this place does still survive."

"Indeed, we have traveled a lot. The group I belong to, has traveled quite a buit. From alternate universes to other worlds to alternate futures to evil twins and evil children clones and..." realizing he is rambling and that explining the histiry of the4 X-men would take far mopre than a few moments, he just smiles.

"Yes we do know of such places. Sounds like Roma's House."

He turns thoughtful as he listens to her.

"A world that touches every molecule fo the universe at once and yet none would require the power to hold a stasis of opportunity and probability and tertiary or even quadrary amounts of energy and replacement ststic folds of space-time in order to..."

He trails off, his eyes flickering at fast speed as he mumbles what sound like equations under his breath.

Al stares in awe as his mun fangirls like a mad thing.

"Are you a chimaera?" he asks. He's never seen a chimaera, and never heard of one that could talk.

{ooc: OMG OMG OMG FAVORITE X-MAN EVER OMG. *flails!*}

[inquisitivehero]

hank turns and sees the young child and goes down on one knee to talk to him almost eye to eye.

"er... no, not that I know of. I am however a mutant. and a Doctor. And a teacher. and a scientist. and a part-time super-hero. Er... My name is henry McCoy, but you can call me Hank."

(ooc: Suddenly I feel this character is going to be busier than my other newbie. grins, not that I mind! This is fun! and yes, my favorite as well! From Astonishing era , fyi.)

A mutant? "Like Rachel?" asks Al, studying Hank's features closely for corresponding indications of humanity. Clearly his skeletal structure is quite different . . .

His eyes light up at the mention of science. "I'm a scientist, too!"

[inquisitivehero]

"Rachel? Rachel Summers-Grey? I know a woman by that name. And yes we are both mutants."

For a moment he is tempted to disbelieve the young man, but then remembers his own childhood and what it felt like to not be respected despite his genius. His voice softens.

"I would enjoy talking of science with you then sometime."

then he realizes he hasnt asked and does.

"ah... what is your name?"

[armoralchemy.livejournal.com]

"I'm Alphonse Elric. I'm an alchemist. What sort of scientist are you?" asks Al, eagerly.

If Hank is an alchemist, Al can learn from him. If he's the right kind of alchemist, Al can learn enough.
