[This is Amaterasu looking positively ecstatic.]

The boundaries are gone! I am free to roam Nippon again! [Laughs brightly.] And Sakuya managed to contact Oki! I suppose I shall have to hunt down Issun and Waka myself, the troublemakers. But first, of course, I have a curse to dispel in Agata Forest~

[Bounds in place a bit.] Ah, it is so good to be free!

{It's Friday, so that means new arrivals, right? This one arrives relaxing quite comfortably on an ornate chaise lounge in equally ornate clothes. She has a sake cup in one hand, but she lowers her hand with a smile as she looks upon the Astral Plane}

So it was today after all. I didn't think that hitsuzen would bring those children to me and bring me to this place on the same day. But sometimes it's unpredictable in that way. It's a tiring day, I suppose. I'll have to make sure Watanuki-kun makes something especially delicious for dinner...Maybe oden would be good tonight~ With some nice beer, I think that would be great actually! To celebrate the children's journey, of course~♪

But the owner of this Plane must be a powerful person to be able to draw me here. I wonder why it's here of all places...But the people here, they're all interesting. It seems we have some Gods, demons, and holy beings....It's quite a mix, and an surprisingly diverse one too. The hosts' purpose must be quite grand for such a mix and to pull them from such diverse worlds...

...But with all these people here, I think it's worthwhile to set up another shop~! Business is business, after all. ♥

[Enter Deidara, grinning ear to ear.] It's about damn time we got a mission. Ame's okay, but staying there gets so fucking boring, un.

A bit too sudden for me to really prepare, though. [And that's why he's here; he sits down and starts working at some clay. Those who can see/sense chakra or similar things will be able to tell he's forcing a lot of chakra into this particular chunk of clay.]

[Yay Juliet is on the Plane...! And in a good mood, because ducky vs. Juliet: 0-1! Little victory against the fairy, and against Romeo even on the other day... Yes, call him childish.]

[He is rather chatty too.] Oh my, oh my~ Such a great day we have today~~ [chuckles, and just skating around absently with a sweet smile] Dreamy and mysterious, ah~ What a great setting for an actor~ So inspiring~
The stars are looking brighter even~~

What else could one ask for more, when everything is almost perfect~?

[Yes, something still bothers him.]


So it looks like there are merging between realities, hmm~~ I wonder if you can 'unmerge' them somehow~~

[And here is Jenny, reading a copy of "Where Do I Come From?"]

....I realized that not everyone came from a machine, but this seems a little ridiculous.


((RIGHT. Jenny's learning about non-mechanical reproduction.))

{Diva appears on the plane, sitting on a wide variety of boxes, and holding a few shopping bags in her arms.}

I know I promised some of these a long time ago, but, ne, it's hard to just go out shopping by myself. But! I have some of the presents I promised people. And, well, a few extra that I didn't promise, I guess. But you know, it's always nice when I get the chance to have that card! It's so fun to go shopping. ♥

{She sets the bags down, crossing her legs with a smile} I definitely have some specific things for Gene, Suiseiseki, and Amaterasu since I promised, but I guess I went a little overboard and bought too many gifts.

{Laughs cheerfully, reaching into a bag to pull out a black gown} So, let's see, if you'd like something, I'm sure I have something I can give you or I can get something. It's the least I can do for the people here. Ne, after all, I guess this is my way to say thank you.

It's a celebration! After all, that performance got canceled. I'll be performing in La bohème instead. So...Well, thank you Sam.
