[L is on the scene; he glances left than right before assuming his preferred crouching position, palms laid out upon his knees. He waits a moment before lifting a hand and chewing thoughtfully on his thumb.]

B, are you here? Mr. Fang King?

Even in what appears to resemble a black abyss, there is noise. It seems I was incorrect in my initial assumption; This is hardly a better alternative to my original laboratory. There are even more distractions here. [Siiiigh]

As well, it appears that IX has acquired the ability to visit this plane. [Starts pacing, a natural reflex by this point] This leads me to wonder how long it will be before certain others can access it in addition to him. After all, it's just been proven that intelligence, at least, is not a factor determining who has the right to venture here.

[have a somewhat frantic Suiseiseki appearing on the Astral Plane, looking about worriedly] E-everyone, you need to be careful, desu! If you see a Doll named Suigintou around, you should definitely stay away from her! She's a horrible, horrible person, desu, and she'll hurt you if she sees you!

[the Master appears on the Astral Plane, head cocked and looking just a bit thoughtful]

You know, I could have sworn there was someone human on my world today. Just for a short while... then the trail went cold. Scent ended. Rather interesting.

[Sora appears on the astral plane, looking confused and quite curious about the surroundings...er, or lack thereof]

Whoa, this is weird! Hello? Anyone here? Helloooo?

[pause; there's a sudden excited sparkle in his eyes]

Echo!! -echo -cho -cho -o -o

[another pause; a pleased look on his face, Sora puts his hands behind his head]

Heh! Always wanted to try that.

...Hey, what'm I doing? This is no time for distractions! This is the weirdest store I've ever seen, though...there's no floor! Or walls, for that matter. And...it's not selling anything. I got all excited, we never get new stuff on the Islands except for Kairi, but that was a long time ago, huh? Oh, maybe it's some kind of funhouse with the weird mirrors! It's kind of big, though...

[Sora begins walking, thinking out loud as he goes]

I hope it's not the Heartless acting up again...but this doesn't look like that End of the World place or anything. Hmm. [perplexed look]

Hey, is anyone here?

Rose Tyler. A word?
