{Mary appears on the Astral Plane, sitting down and patching up a rather beat up looking poncho. It’s dirty, smelly, and full of holes, but it obviously doesn’t bother her, since she’s at least fixing the holes. Nor do her new surroundings, it would seem. She finishes her careful patching of one of the holes before she finally looks up.}

So it’s that time? {She smiles, starting to turn the poncho in her hands towards another hole} I didn’t expect that I would visit this place so soon. It's not at all like I imagined, more beautiful. Chrno and all the others, I think this place would be much to their liking.

{She pauses and instead looks up to the stars all around again} It kind of makes you feel like you're standing right next to God, being in the heavens like this.

[Hei appears on the Plane not bleeding this time! looking a little indignant.]

Ms. Kirihara! You thought I was going to wear them??

[After a moment he sighs in a long-suffering sort of way.]

Mion, I'm not sure how much your vest cost...I brought some yen though, enough to cover it, I think.

Oh, and Mr. Tyler, if you've been...un-kidnapped yet--I have news.

[ Angela makes her grand entrance-- by which I mean she stumbles in, obviously rather thrown off by the fact that she's walking on stars, then stares indignantly at all present. ]

Who in the world are you people?!

[Rose is dressed like a ninja. And totally holding a throwing star, looking a little confused]

--of all of the times for me to randomly pop in here, this has got to be the worst.
