[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]

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

This is the Astral Plane.

[whitereaper]

...

I still don't understand.

[the-kingleads.livejournal.com]

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

[whitereaper]

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

[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]

[the-kingleads.livejournal.com]

Not quite. It is another plane of reality, separate and removed from our own but accessible through the mind.

[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]

Er...

So why do we have form here if it's just the mind?

[whitereaper]

Wait, different worlds? And what Twins?

[the-kingleads.livejournal.com]

It is accessible with the mind, it isn't in our minds.

[whitereaper]

... My mind is here, but my body isn't?

[the-kingleads.livejournal.com]

[facepalm]

[whitereaper]

[glares] Hey, this isn't my sort of thing and you know that.

[the-kingleads.livejournal.com]

Both your body and mind are here. You are outside of our reality as you knew it before, able to access this place for a time. When you return, you will be in the exact same place and time as you left. Better?

[whitereaper]

... Somewhat.

So how do I get back?

[the-kingleads.livejournal.com]

Think about it. I have only been here twice but that took me back easily enough. I have been using it to do my homework.

[whitereaper]

[glances out at the darkness and starlight]

Exact same time and place as I left? I suppose that isn't so bad.

[the-kingleads.livejournal.com]

Depends on where you were I suppose. There was a guy in here earlier bleeding all over the place coming from some kind of battle. I think I'd rather not go back in that situation.
