A strange occurrance

[queenofpawns.livejournal.com]

[Ovelia appears on the Astral Plane, sitting politely with her hands folded in her lap atop a closed book. She looks around warily, although if she's afraid she doesn't let it show.]

This place is most bizarre. I cannot imagine it is part of some plot, but I cannot truly fathom exactly what my enemies are capable of.

Perhaps this is a blessing? A respite for my mind?

If anything, I must admit it is quite beautiful.

I cannot promise that it is not part of some plot, but welcome nonetheless to the Astral Plane, madame.

This isn't caused by your enemies at least. Welcome to the Astral Plane.

[queenofpawns.livejournal.com]

Astral Plane? Is that the name of this place? ...It does seem to fit such a mysterious place.

Greetings to you as well.

[queenofpawns.livejournal.com]

That comes as a great relief to me, I must admit. Although my enemies have tactics available to them most could not explain.

[brigadiertardis.livejournal.com]

Enemies?

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

I do hope this place isn't the work of your enemies! Though I would not be quick to call the creators of this place "friends," either.

[queenofpawns.livejournal.com]

I know not of anyone who has none. Is it such a strange thing?

[lamb_of_gold]

It is. Sadly, the beauty belies the the dangers that this place presents.

[brigadiertardis.livejournal.com]

No, not strange. You simply do not strike me as one to have many -- or any that would bear thinking of.

[queenofpawns.livejournal.com]

I feel at ease here, strangely, so I am beginning to believe it is not part of something sinister. Though I shall continue to be wary.

[queenofpawns.livejournal.com]

Appearances are often deceiving. The same could be said of you as well, could it not?

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Wariness does seem to be the best course for this place. But you are right; it is very peaceful here. I have heard that there is the occasional bit of excitement, but I have yet to witness any.

May I ask your name, young one?

[queenofpawns.livejournal.com]

I do not yet feel danger, although I shall remain wary. There is no place that exists where one can be entirely unguarded.

[queenofpawns.livejournal.com]

Perhaps the excitement shall find us someday. I am not sure that I look forward to such a day.

I am Ovelia. And may I know your name?

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

An experiment, mostly.

[wry smile]

And no - puppeteers, more like, but that's probably worse.

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Indeed. I agree with you.

A pleasure to meet you, Ovelia! And of course--my name is Amaterasu. I am the sun goddess of Nippon.

[brigadiertardis.livejournal.com]

[smiles faintly] Indeed it could. And you are?

[lamb_of_gold]

True, but to live by such a rule would dictate a rather cloistered life, I'd imagine.

[queenofpawns.livejournal.com]

It would. Unfortunately, this world is a place where such a thing must be so.

[queenofpawns.livejournal.com]

[smiles as well, although there is no humor in it] I am Ovelia. And your name?

[lamb_of_gold]

Occasionally yes, but many of the people here are of good disposition, if not completely harmless.

[queenofpawns.livejournal.com]

A goddess? [stands and bows] Forgive me for my slight. I know not of such a being or place, yet that is no excuse for such rudeness.

[queenofpawns.livejournal.com]

Such a mysterious place is an experiment? Yet how could anyone create anything as large and beautiful as this? I must admit to finding that hard to believe.

[queenofpawns.livejournal.com]

I shall keep that in mind, should I meet others. I thank you for your help. And I apologise for being remiss in my manners. My name is Ovelia.

Have you noticed a new shop, recently? Met the owners?
