Coraline wandered up the street in the dark night feeling cold and lonely. She didn't much care for this time period in NYC as she felt like she didn't know her way around. She could hear music leaking out of a bar and could feel the warmth as she walked by. She peeked in through the window. It was totally full of adult mutants. She gave a shrug. Maybe she'd get in long enough to swipe some food. Not like anyone could catch her. And there was nothing like the direct approach!
Coraline gave a little hum and marched up to the door and started walking through. A bouncer gently brought his hands down on her shoulders. "No place for kids."
BAMF
Coraline ported a foot away. The man stood disoriented for a moment and reached for her again.
BAMF
a few customers started grumbling about her little noise and light show and yelling at the bouncer. Coraline looked at him deviously. "FINE." he grumbled. "But if I see any alcohol or cigarets in your grubby little paws i'm finding a mutant to freeze you in place little miss." Coraline grinned up at him and ported to the nearest source of food- the kitchen.
With one last BAMF she sat on the floor in front of the stage wolfing down a basket of fries. No one really did seem to notice her. It was pretty dark and people were pretty engaged in each other or the music. She looked up at the musician playing with her wide eyes as she munched away. The little ten-year-oldish girl with the long hair sitting with her legs crossed on the floor.

Coraline smiled playfully and looked up at the man with wide eyes while munching on her fries. "Are you a mutant too? There are too many humans around here. Where I come from it's mostly mutants." she pushed more into her mouth. "I didn't mean to come to a bar but it was mostly mutants so I thought it would be best." she swallowed the last of her fries. She didn't seem at all put off by the man despite his dark demeaner. "You're a good singer. Kinda cute too. I think I have a friend back home who plays guitar. Can't quite remember." she gazed about the room and when he mentioned more food her eyes lit up. "That would be great" she exclaimed happily and without a second thought took the mans hand like he'd been a big brother to her all along. "While we're here you might as well pretend you take care of me so those people dont kick me out." she pointed to the bouncers. "I'd rather be around my kind." she insisted.

Coraline happily sat placed on the stool and looking trusting at Zelek. "Ohhh another guitar! Exciting." she laughed. "You didn't realize this place is all mutants? Maybe since I'm around so many it's easier for me to see" she started pointing them out "that was moves fire, that one's actually a big lizard, that one can fly that one uses static electricity, that one's got a tail, that one has a lot of scars so I bet he's a healer, that one smells like a dog so I dont even wanna think about it..." she went on for a few more moments before remembering the mention of food. "Any food is great? What's a macdonalds? And should we take that guitar to your friend?" she dangled her feet below the stool and smiled. She was a cute kid- but there was something odd about her even for a mutant. The way she could so easily talk to adults, how familiar she was with mutants even for a mutant, that over-confidence...

"The states?" asked Coraline mildly. "Is that what you call this place? no... I'm from the future." she's just dropped a bomb of a statement but she said it so absently it was a wonder if it was important. "Not sure when. Ported here. I'd like to go home but I can't untill I recover from that port." she willingly gave this information as if it were a normal things for people to teleport through time.
"'I'm Coraline." she said with a smile and batting her eyelashes. "Not Cora, Not carol, Not caroline or Coralin... Cora-line" She grinned a toothy grin. "What can you do Zelek? What's you gift?"

Coraline looked up at him with a blank face. "I'm pretty sure my best friend is a vampire. No wait. Yup. Totally a vampire. Well... she needs plasma. Her name started with a Ch... no a K... Kendra!" she squealed excited. "Oh I remembered something!" she hopped of the chair and kicked the guitar case. "You still call it the united states huh? Hmm you might wanna invest in hyrdo cars." she winked. She shufled her bag around and checked her watch absentmindedly despite the fact it didn't seem to be keeping the right time.
"Okay." she announced taking his hand again. "I'm ready!"
