[Lelouch looks around, shocked, his large violet eyes taking in the nothingness around him. The stars reflect back out of them]

What is this? Where am I?

Hello?

[Lelouch reaches for his cell phone and tries to use it to hail Kallen]

Q1? Q1 - do you copy? Q1, answer me. Kallen!

[puts the cell away, looking really irritated and starts probing about cautiously looking for a clue as to where he is or what is going on, muttering a little]

Is this some new manifestation of the geass? Is it my own, the Emperor's or Rolo's? Or is there someone else out there endowed with it?

[puts a hand to his face] No, it is not mine. The Emperor is nowhere near and C.C. already released the seal.

Rolo?

Rolo are you there? Brother, answer me.

.......... [pauses, doesn't see or hear his 'brother' and sighs]

Nunnally......

[madamemoiselle]

Geass? {Giggles} That sounds dirty~

[the-kingleads.livejournal.com]

[turns to look at you]

It isn't. Can you tell me where I am?

[buckingbronco.livejournal.com]

Q1, Geass? [Curious Mafia boss is curious]

[madamemoiselle]

Ah~ Well this would be the Astral Plane. It's pretty, isn't it?

[the-kingleads.livejournal.com]

The Astral Plane?

[the-kingleads.livejournal.com]

Not much to speak of. You are?

[madamemoiselle]

{Nods} It's the place kind of between all the realities here. Miss Sault and those Twins, well, based on what everyone else says, it kind of sounds like they made it.

[buckingbronco.livejournal.com]

[Still curious, but decides not to press to much right now.] I'm Dino Cavallone, pleased to meet you. Mind telling me your name?

[witchmaker.livejournal.com]

Hmm, I don't think we've had any Kallens, Rolos, or Nunnally's here.

[the-kingleads.livejournal.com]

I see, could you tell me where I am, then? I need to get back to them.

[witchmaker.livejournal.com]

You're on the Astral Plane. And if you want to go back, just think about going home. You can come and go here by thinking about it.

[the-kingleads.livejournal.com]

Sault? I do not know that name.

[madamemoiselle]

Well, maybe you didn't meet her? Some people did before they came here, or at least with everyone else here.

{Smiles} But welcome anyways! My name is Diva.

[the-kingleads.livejournal.com]

Lelouch Lamperouge. Likewise.

[the-kingleads.livejournal.com]

Just think about it?

Can it put me anywhere or just where I came from?

[the-kingleads.livejournal.com]

Lelouch. Pleasure to meet you.

[looks at you] Any idea how I can make contact with her?

[madamemoiselle]

Lelouch?...French?

Well, usually you can just ask them to come to you and they will. Or thinking about going to that shop, maybe.

[witchmaker.livejournal.com]

Just where you came from. It'd be nice if you could travel here and there, though.

[lamb_of_gold]

Unfortunately, your friends cannot be reached while you are here.

[buckingbronco.livejournal.com]

Well, welcome to the Astral Plane Lelouch.

[the-kingleads.livejournal.com]

Originally, most probably.

I see, I will have to look into this. Thank you. [inclines his head politely, but his eyes are fairly hard]

[the-kingleads.livejournal.com]

How did I get here, exactly? I was rather busy and don't need the interruption.

[the-kingleads.livejournal.com]

That is useful, thank you. [thinking that it's a shame, he could have penetrated the Palace easily otherwise]

[the-kingleads.livejournal.com]

Then this is worthless. [turns his cell phone off]

[lamb_of_gold]

If it's urgent, a thought will bring you home, but no time will have passed since you arrived.

[the-kingleads.livejournal.com]

That is useful. Very useful. [deep in thought about all the possibilities available to him now in the war]

[buckingbronco.livejournal.com]

This is the Astral Plane. Time doesn't pass in your world while your here, so don't worry about that. If you want to go home, just think about going back.

[the-kingleads.livejournal.com]

Time does not pass there? [hint of a smirk]

Then perhaps I can stay a little longer.

[lamb_of_gold]

It has many advantages.

[buckingbronco.livejournal.com]

[Smile] Yep, no time passes at all. It can be pretty useful at times when you need a break or a moment to think.

[madamemoiselle]

Lovely. French is the best language, I think. It has a much nicer sound than others.

It's no problem. {Reaches out to touch his face gently} But your eyes are scary, you know?

[the-kingleads.livejournal.com]

[completely thrown by her touching him so soon after they met, he backs off] Excuse me?

[the-kingleads.livejournal.com]

That is a very good thing to know.

[madamemoiselle]

{This girl knows nothing of personal space, Lelouch, so you should get used to it} I said your eyes are scary.

Let's see, let's see, whose eyes are they~? {Thoughtfully with a smile} Ah, definitely a leader, am I right? It wouldn't be surprising, though. With a face like that, I'm sure that any girl would be very much charmed to helping Lelouch.

[the-kingleads.livejournal.com]

A leader? Perhaps, I am the Vice President of the Student Council, nothing more.

[madamemoiselle]

{Laughs just a little} Quite a student council for its vice president to speak of an Emperor~

[the-kingleads.livejournal.com]

It is a nickname. [lies. all lies.]

[madamemoiselle]

That's a lie, isn't it?

[the-kingleads.livejournal.com]

No.

[madamemoiselle]

If you say so~ {:D Doesn't believe him at all~} Ne, but if you're in a student council, that means you must go to school, right? What's that like?

[the-kingleads.livejournal.com]

I do. It is alright, my friends are mostly all there so it has it's upsides.

[madamemoiselle]

It must be nice! Ne, I had always thought it would be fun to go to school and make friends. Ah~ I was in the time period where going to schools was still optional for women, though, so I never got the chance. It's too bad. But what kinds of things does a student council do, exactly?

[the-kingleads.livejournal.com]

We keep an eye on the students and organize school events...but mostly indulge the President's rather odd whims.

[buckingbronco.livejournal.com]

You'd probably have figured it out on your own pretty quickly. It's kind of obvious.
