[Henry...more or less stumbles onto the Plane.

His jeans and blue overshirt are both torn in several places and spattered with blood and gore. In his right hand is an old fire axe, also coated in blood, which he raises in front of himself defensively. He's sporting the makings of a five o'clock shadow and there are dark circles under his eyes.

After a moment of...well, nothing, he lowers the axe a little and takes a hesitant step forward.]

What...what is this place? That door—

[He looks back, but the door is gone now]

What's goin' on? I've never...

[He pauses, then sighs]

Another nightmare? Figures.

[She likes pats! Ammy's tail starts wagging.]

It is a nice place, and for the most part the people are quite pleasant. Though I would avoid the ones who run this place, for safety's sake.

[Good to know! Have some more :) ]

You mean...those kids?

[And she starts licking some of the crap off your hand in return! She's even polite enough not to make a face at it.]

Them exactly. They are called the Twins, and they are rather dangerous.

Someone said they're experimenting on us?

[She nods.] That seems to be the case, though I do not know the nature of the experiment.

[a sigh] From a world where people were being held for sacrifice, to a place where they're being experimented on...

[he chuckles morbidly] I sure know how to pick 'em, huh?

Sacrifice? Then your world was not always as it is now?

[She snuffles at his hand.] Ah, it is not so bad. The people here are quite fascinating. Each from a different world, you see! They make the best of it.

Hm, but I have been rude! Forgive me~ I am Amaterasu, sun goddess of Nippon. Who might you be?

No...I just got pulled into it a few days ago.

[and then Henry's eyes widen]

You're a goddess?

How unfortunate! You've certainly had a rough time of it lately, haven't you?

[Giggles a bit.] Indeed~ People are always so surprised!

[Henry shrugs...he's getting a little self-conscious, talking about himself so much >>; ]

Well...it's not every day you get to meet a goddess.

[She goes back to licking nastiness off his hand.]

So it seems! The people in my own world are a bit more used to it, I think. Though I'm starting to think that my world is rather unique in that respect.

[Henry nods] Sounds like your world is lucky, if they get to meet you.

[he starts to say something else, but decides against it]

Ah, how nice of you to say that!

Hm? What were you going to say?

...the place I've been? The sacrifices were for a ritual to raise some kind of god. At least that's what the cultists believed.

Twenty-one human sacrifices.

[he shakes his head sadly]

...

I have...never known of a god who would condone that sort of thing. That is beyond terrible.

I found something that said the ritual isn't used to call a god at all, but some kind of devil. The cultists sure seemed to believe it was a god though...one of them even thought it was his mother.

[Her ears go back and her eyes narrow.] Yami. Or something like him, no doubt. How typical.

[She sighs a bit and her expression softens.] At least you made it through the ordeal alive.

[he nods and pats Ammy again] And now I get a break, it looks like. As long as this really isn't just a dream.

[She can't stay upset when she's getting petted!] A break indeed! I hope you will take full advantage of it. And no, I don't think this is a dream. If it is, it is certainly a very complex one, isn't it?

[a chuckle] That's true. And I plan to...as long as people don't mind me camping out here for a while. I'm not really in any hurry to get back.

Oh, goodness, no! People sleep here all the time~ I have fallen asleep here a few times myself.
