[A tall, broad-shouldered blond with a shallow cut across her cheek steps onto the Plane, a fierce look on her face and a broken mug in one hand. Her clothes are ripped and she seems to be splattered with what smells like alcohol. She's in her early twenties, perhaps, with a few long scars on her arms and a freckling of small ones on her hands.]

Just replaced the sarden thing and now I have to buy a new one. Spintry is lucky I didn't stick him to the wall.

[She stops, growls, and draws the sword at her side. She doesn't seem in the least surprised by where she is. Muttering,] ...someone's picked the Black God's Option.

[Then louder,]

All right then, what cracknobbed scut thought it would be a fine idea to toss me into a mage's trick after a night like that? Well? Show yourself, my lad, and I might leave you a bit of your skin.

[Comes up and stands a healthy distance away, hands up and away from the whip at his side] Um, hey there. This isn't a trick, this is the Astral Plane.

[Wolf-form Ammy, coming up to check you out! And leaving her trail of flowers like usual.]

Black God, is it? Another one I am unfamiliar with! Ah, but this is no trick, I'm afraid. This is the Astral Plane, some sort of nexus of worlds.

[contract_star]

[Hoshit, big sword.] Ah, it's...not a trick that I know of...it's the Astral Plane. The ones who brought you here are the Twins.

[He doesn't look Bazhir or Carthaki so the whip is a bit odd, but eh.]

Sounds like a mage's name for a mage's trick.

[buckingbronco.livejournal.com]

[Chuckles slightly] I guess it does sound something like that. But I'm not a mage, and this place is real. If you really want to know, the ones that brought you here are the Twins.

[....]

Never met a mage who could talk from an animal's mouth before.

....never met an animal who looked like you, s'ppose.

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

....they seemed the decent sort, too.

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

And here I was going to give them my business. [Turns her broken mug upside down and sighs]

[buckingbronco.livejournal.com]

Looks like you had some trouble before you came here.

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

Bit, yeah. Few Gallan rushers thought they'd interrupt the Rogue's gixies at their drink. [Smirk] They learned, poor lads.

Now then laddie, what's your name?

[contract_star]

[Relaxes.] Well...they do at first, but they're...not really all that pleasant.

Um, so...this place is a sort of crossroads between worlds, I guess. You can get back home just by thinking it.

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Mage, is it? I'm afraid I'm not familiar with the term.

[Giggles.] I suppose you wouldn't have! I'm a bit unique, I must admit~

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

[Thoughtfully] Sounds like a god-realm to me, though I doubt I'm the sort to be invited in.

So, my lad, who are you?

[buckingbronco.livejournal.com]

[Notices the inflection on the word Rouge.] 'The Rouge'?

I'm Dino Cavallone. Can I ask who you are?

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

Mage. Lads and gixies who've got a bit of the god's power in them, I suppose you'd say. [Giving the wolf a curious look now]

And what are you, unique beastie?

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Gods power, hm? Well, I hope that they use such a power wisely. God powers are certainly not to be taken lightly.

Ah, indeed! My name is Amaterasu, sun goddess of Nippon~ Who might you be, young one?

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

The Rogue. [Eying you curiously now Dino]

Aniki Forfrysning. Where do you hail from?

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

[Sheaths her sword and crouches down in front of Amaterasu] That's a mouthful to break your teeth on. Never heard of Nippon--sounds Yamani, a bit.

[buckingbronco.livejournal.com]

Sounds like an important title. Who is this 'Rouge'?

Nice to meet you. I'm from Rome, Italy. Ever heard of it?

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Ah, Issun said the same thing. You may call me Ammy, if that's easier~

Yamani, is it? That does sound a bit like a name you would hear in Nippon. Actually, most people here call Nippon by the name "Japan."

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

Never heard of Rome, never heard of Japan. Learning all sorts of pretty new names. [Sarcasm]

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

Well, I suppose that makes more sense than not, then. Never heard of Rome. [Sheaths her sword and clasps her hands behind her back, standing at ease for a long moment, considering]

King of the Court of the Rogue. The Rogue. He's the enforcer and the guard of the Lower City, takes a cut of the big jobs and takes a payment from the shops. [Shrug] Every city in every country has a Rogue. Rosto is the Rogue of Corus.

[lamb_of_gold]

[Have a Mu watching you from far away. He wants to come and say hello, but he's not sure if he'll break down again or not]

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[Eying the sword carefully, with his hands slightly up in a 'I mean you no harm!' gesture, before he asks.] A night like... what?

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

[Grins.] It's all very confusing at first, I know. You do get used to it after a time, though.

Speaking of names--I never did catch yours~~
