[cross-legged on the 'floor', sitting up a bit straighter than normal thanks to the tight bandages wrapped around his abdomen. they can't be seen, though. only indication of anything is that he's wearing his shirt and coat without the tie and jacket. no converses either, though his socks and the bottoms of his trousers are covered in sand. well dressed, our Ten is]

I take it the experiment went poorly, eh, you lot? Can't have all the subjects killed at once. [smiles despite this] Never thought I would miss dolphins or that beach so much.

[somewhat of an afterthought] Everything should be fine back there, though, Lucia. Erm, assuming the monsters went back into the desert. Right and any other disasters that need fixing?

[Appearing suddenly in a cloud of black smoke on the Astral Plane- not that he's actually left yet, yay warping powers- and straightens up. At best, he looks a bit dishevelled; A hole in the front of his cloak and another one in the back that looks as though something went through it and out the other side. Abruptly glances left, then right, and finally seems satisfied.]

Not exactly what I planned... I've decided to take a survey. You are all encouraged to participate.

The question itself is a simple one- I'm curious to know of any distinguishable abilities you may have. In that, I mean anything that would seem out of the norm to someone not accustomed to your world. Shapeshifting, for example, would be considered extraordinary by many.

If possible, I would run a few tests as well.

[Here, have a Milo. He's back in his cloth, all shiny and proud but he actually looks more irritated than when he was stuck in another reality. Anyone who's sensitive to aura's and such can have a blast of nasty Cosmos as he enters. If you get too close Milo's Cosmo might even paralyze you a bit. It's sharp, cutting, kind of like being cut by the wind. Milo's not going to hurt anyone though unless you piss him off. Appearing with him is a chunk of a pillar at the perfect size to use as a stool.]

Fate so hates being tempted. I need to learn to remember that. My temple fell quite literally, besides that it still stinks of roses.

And Leo has volunteered to "observe" me. Goddess give me patience so that I don't end up murdering him in his sleep.

...this is perhaps a sign that I need a vacation. Someplace miserable maybe, Delos better yet Erimomilos. If only it wouldn't be taken as a sign of running away. As it is this place is my refuge for the moment and it doesn't even pass time.

No one tell me to meditate.

[Milo sits down on his pillar and glares into space.]

[Shenzi's appearance on the astral plane is typical of her at ease; in her hyena form, and with a faintly smug but mostly confident expression, she appears suddenly and in mid-stride. It's almost comical how her unease grows visibly as she freezes, then inexplicably vanishes]

And isn't this a fun surprise? What, did someone get cocky enough to kidnap me or something?

[sets down various weapons as stolen from Minato's under-the-bed armory. It is worth noting that he's chosen to relax at the bar, and that there is an opened bottle of whisky on the counter]

House fire in Kingston upon Hull, six-year-old boy dead. It's considered an accident.

Ethics in altering the past you know as a fact while back in time: discuss.

[drinks from his glass of whisky]

Or don't.

[and another drink!]

A word, Guv.

[Hei appears on the Plane near Wolfwood's bar with four massive plates full of ohagi, which he sets down on the bar. He then pops out and returns a moment later with two enormous dishes of fried rice. This happens a few more times, until half of the bar is lined with good-smelling food, because Hei is hungry generous like that. Then Hei settles behind the bar to await the impending apron :D]

Dinner as promised, Ms. Sonozaki. I hope there's enough ohagi.

Ah, and there might be leftovers, if anyone else is hungry...

[And Mion appears in her casual garb, consisting of a yellow t-shirt, jeans, and a gun holster draped over her shoulder. No, she's not here to kill people in the name of Oyashiro-sama. You wish. Instead, she's here to make an announcement. :D]

Ne, I was talking with Rena-chan earlier, and we were thinking about having some activities here, because just talking gets boring after a while~

The only problem is that we don't know what kinds of games that can be played here. I don't have enough cards, but I could probably get some from my uncle...

So I was wondering what kinds of games you guys know that everyone could play! Or at least, the people who'd want to play.

Which brings me to another point: punishing the losers!

Usually, the winner — or winners, if we'd choose to play in teams — gets to pick a punishment for the loser — or losers — which ranges from enslavement, to cosplaying around the town, to doing everyone else's homework. But it's really up to whoever wins, so be creative!

So, ahh, if you're interested, let me know!

And if you aren't, well, sucks for you.

[Appears on the astral plane and looks around all excited.]

Juliet? Are you here?~ Julieeeet??

I need to talk to you! Just now I saw Puck and he was complaining to me about how you were really mean to him... Now I can totally understand you being a bit moody and all after what happened, but, Juliet, you know what that means?

HE SAW YOU. PUCK, MY PUCK, SAW YOU! It worked! The scenario is completed! Our worlds, they're one and the same again! Oooh, it's so...! [Puts his hand on his heart] I barely have words for it, but my heart feels overjoyed.
