[Suzaku appears on the Plane wearing his Rounds uniform, minus the swishy blue cape.]

So finish those reports...

[he looks around in confusion]

... Zino? Anya? What's going on? What is this place?

[Lelouch looks up from his pile of homework] Suzaku? [thinks 'oh crap. Now I'll have to watch what I say here as well in case he realizes I'm Zero']

[whitereaper]

Lelouch? [hurries over to the other young man] What are we doing here? [eyes the homework] And why are you doing homework here?

[the-kingleads.livejournal.com]

Apparently this is the Astral Plane. Time here does not pass in our world and so I have been finding time to do my homework.

[whitereaper]

Astral... Plane? [clueless Suzaku is clueless]

[the-kingleads.livejournal.com]

Yes, the projected plane of existence that psychics and suchlike often claim to access. [signs his name on the top of an essay and puts it in his bag along with the according textbook]

[whitereaper]

...

I still don't understand.

[the-kingleads.livejournal.com]

We are not on the Prime Material Plane, also known as Earth.

[whitereaper]

...

And? [obviously still isn't getting it]

[the-kingleads.livejournal.com]

[sets aside homework and picks up a piece of paper and draws Earth. Then he sketches a brain and a little diagram meant to represent another layer]

That make more sense? Think of it like retreating into your mind and then coming back; but not a moment later than when you left.

[whitereaper]

... So this is all a figment of my imagination? [nope, hasn't quite got it yet]

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

This is the Astral Plane.

[whitereaper]

So I've been informed. Though what exactly is the Astral Plane?

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

It's a place that's connected to a bunch of different worlds. The Twins created it. It's part of their experiment.

[whitereaper]

Wait, different worlds? And what Twins?

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

You saw a shop, didn't you? The Twins that run it are the ones who created this place.

Everyone here is from a different world. Even if someone is from Earth or from Tokyo like I am, they aren't from the same ones I know. They don't remember things the way I do, or things happened in their world that didn't happen in mine.

[whitereaper]

Er... yeah. I'd never seen it before...

So... divergent and alternate histories? [rubs his forehead, all this thinking is giving him a headache]

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

I guess that sounds about right. I have people I know here, but they were all from points in time that were different from where I was.

[whitereaper]

That... must be confusing.

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

It was a bit confusing at first, but I got used to it.

[whitereaper]

I've only seen one person I know here... I think he's from the same place I'm from though...

[constantgroove.livejournal.com]

Don't think too hard there.

[whitereaper]

[raises eyebrow] I'm not about to just accept how things are without trying to understand what's going on.

[constantgroove.livejournal.com]

What's to understand? You're on some dark plane.

[whitereaper]

And that doesn't trouble you in the least?

[constantgroove.livejournal.com]

Let's see... I've got my palace, my throne... [ponderface] Yeah, the lack of servants bothers me a bit.
