1st Heart - Arrival

[And suddenly, Jackie pops on into the Astral Plane. He's got one hand held out, as if he was twisting a knob, and for a moment there is a rather shocked look on his face.]

That's never happened before.

[His hand drops to his side, and for a moment he is completely silent. He takes the time to slowly scan his surroundings, still with a fairly stunned look on his face. He gives his head a quick shake, trying to see if he'll wake up. No success. He then takes a few steps forward and reaches his hands out, as if looking for a wall or a door. When he comes in contact with nothing but space, he drops his hands to his side again, and turns around.]

Right now, I can only think of three possible explanations for this. One, I'm dead. Really dead. Two, I'm having one of those out of body experiences. Or three, I've been whisked away to the Land of Oz. And unfortunately for me, I left my ruby red slippers at home.

So, is there a Yellow Brick road hiding somewhere around here, or am I just SOL?

I suppose that's why they're beastmen then. But foxes? Seems a little tame compared to the rest.

You could say that. [Another pause] It's a good thing time is pretty much frozen while I'm here.

Some of them are tamer than the rest, just like with people.

Sometimes it's a good thing, sometimes it just makes your day seem a lot longer. Even if I come here during a lecture, I wind up having to listen to the rest of it eventually.

That's a good point. Sounds like an interesting lot of people.

Place could be just the thing I need at times. A few moments to collect my thoughts. A brief escape. And all it takes is a thought to do it.

That's one of the best things about it. You can pop up here and just relax for a bit. Some people take naps or read or do schoolwork here.

Or other work, for that matter. But I get the point. First upside to this whole mess, and it's a pretty good one at that.

That, and you got to meet me. [ Such modesty..! ]

[stronguponme.livejournal.com]

You and your awe inspiring modesty. Today's my lucky day.

It's not every day you get to meet people from another world, anyway!

[Is amused by that comment far more than he should be.] No. No it's not. Truly a once in a life time kind of deal. And even then, it might fall through.
