[Ryotarou appears on the Plane, hand up at his side, fist curled, as if he had been holding onto someone's arm before he showed up.] See—?! [... He notices that there's no one in his grasp, and goes still. His shoulders slump after a moment and he lets his arm drop.]

I guess... even singularity points aren't immune to this.

(ooc: Sort-of-late reaction post to Sakurai being dropped. And, uh— I might not reply right away, or reply to some people more than others, but I will reply to everyone once I get back into my groove. I just... needed to post this before it was way too late. Also: I'm sorry for all his emo lately.)

[ She's on her knees in a snow drift. She has snow everywhere, clinging to her gloves, her hair, her cloak, as though she's been digging through it frantically. In one hand she's holding a golden hoop. She slides it on her wrist, but rather than looking triumphant, she seems to break down, curling into a ball to sob. ]

I found it... I found it so please... come back...

[Jenny appears on the plane. She's confused for a moment, and her face reflects it. But the confusion quickly melts away, replaced by a happy look. A very happy look. Jenny is beaming.]

Oh, this is just brilliant. It was a shop, and now it's not! Now it's -

[She trails off and looks around, trying to orient herself. After all, Jenny has studied countless star charts. It shouldn't be so hard to figure out where she is. Then again, normally one doesn't just wander around in space, completely comfortable. At least she thinks one doesn't. Does one?]

That's odd. None of the stars match up. I'm pretty sure that's... yes, the Medusa Cascade, but it shouldn't be next to Tau Ceti Prime, should it? And there's the Sol System! I wonder if Dad's there! I bet he is.

[Jenny reaches out, as though she could touch the stars themselves, but when she hits only emptiness her arm falls to her side. She starts to retrace her steps that day, starting from the strange dream of the morning to the odd sense of wrongness that's been coloring her every move. And then that odd shop, which neither Gr'Rit'A or Joseph had seen, the odd shop that led her here. Suddenly Jenny felt very very alone.]

Hello?
