He turned his head to see... [color=red[[i]shit, it started with a... J, maybe? Jamie? No...[/i][/color] He just shook his head. Who it was didn't matter. He didn't seem to be feeling too hot, and the Russian-American was only able to catch the end of what he was saying. Something about watching... [i]them[/i]? It only took a moment for Nik to look up at the girls and give a slight nod as he watched the boy leave. Couldn't blame the kid for not fitting into this kind of scene. But as Nik's eyes glanced back up towards the girl, a voice entered into his mind. [color=aba000][b][i]"To the lonely souls lost in the world, to the forsaken and depressed. Do not be afraid, there is no need to cry, no more need to run away or hide. I am one of you, you not alone. We are the chosen ones, the ones whom are currently being oppressed. Where we are forced to hide from sight, where we are called freaks and monsters. We are not monsters my brothers and sisters, we are a different branch of mankind. So I urge you to leave where you are hiding, find others like yourselves out there. Tommorrow I will guide you to where we can all meet. Under a new light. A beacon to guide us to the future which is waiting for us. Seek love and passion, and go forth... with my prayer."[/i][/b][/color] As soon as the voice entered his head, he immediately began pushing his way out of the dance floor and towards the nearest wall away from the speakers, just to lean against it and focus on the words. The words were... deranged is perhaps the best word for it. Incoherent ramblings akin to the monologues often delivered by villains in films. Nik was familiar with the X-Men... and of course was familiar with the more extreme faction fighting for mutant equality (or superiority). It wasn't hard for his mind to immediately wander towards the possibility that this was some kind of Brotherhood move. Regardless... his night was kind of ruined by that. He needed to talk to someone to figure out what was going on... and he knew just the booth to stop by. Nik straightened his jacket as he strolled over towards the table of friends and acquaintances he was well-familiar with, doing his best to look like someone didn't just talk into his fucking brain. His eyes darted around the room, looking for Jason who of course was gone by now. He'd have to track him down after this. First, he had to make a stop. So Nik walks up towards the booth with the girls, his eyes full of panic as he rested an elbow on the table and leaned in to talk relatively quietly but in a very rapid voice. [color=red]"Hey gals, fancy seeing you here. I just kind of heard a voice in my head talking about being a 'chosen one' and something about a beacon and shit going down tomorrow and for the love of God tell me someone else heard it here too and I'm not just losing my shit."[/color] Nik's eyes almost instinctively locked on Una, and it was clear he was not handling this well.
