[Hei appears on the Plane. He looks...shocked? Awed? Dumbfounded? None of them really fit.]

They're real. They're really...

[lamb_of_gold]

You too?

[contract_star]

Mu, the stars. They're real. I mean they're...they're all there.

[lamb_of_gold]

The sky here is imposing itself into many of the worlds, it seems.

[contract_star]

So it's everywhere--one of their experiments.

But then that means, for a few days, the stars will be... [And he smiles, more open and genuine than he has in weeks.]

[lamb_of_gold]

I don't think so. It doesn't seem something they'd do. Perhaps, then it will last awhile longer.

[contract_star]

I guess it doesn't. [Still grinning like a kid in a candy shop.] This is one thing I won't be complaining about, though.

[lamb_of_gold]

Nor I. It's quite an interesting sight, I think.

[contract_star]

It is! Tokyo is going nuts--they all think it's Gate-related. It's been ten years since anyone's seen anything like this...

[lamb_of_gold]

Sanctuary's in some bit of disarray as well - nobody can find the constellations.

[contract_star]

Oh, I didn't...I didn't think of that. Is that going to be a problem?

[lamb_of_gold]

No. They will sort it out.

[contract_star]

Oh. Good. [And the smile is back.]

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

I haven't been back yet. [She left in the middle of the blackout, after all :|] It must be effecting everyone. At least it's more benign than their last bit of fun.

[contract_star]

They're real, though.

[And suddenly he's grinning like a kid.] Misaki, they're all real. There are stars I haven't seen in, in ten years. And nebulae and galaxies and clusters--they're all back.

[She can't help feeling happy at his own delight] You have your telescope, I hope.

[contract_star]

I do! Ah, I hadn't even thought of that!

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

I wonder if the stars are out in my reality, too?

[contract_star]

I'll bet they are! Go check!

[buckingbronco.livejournal.com]

What are real?

[contract_star]

Stars. In Tokyo--in my world.

They're--they're all real.

[buckingbronco.livejournal.com]

Does it have something to do with the Plane? Angela was saying that the sky in her world was replaced with the one from here.

[contract_star]

It must be. Maybe the Twins again...

But... [And suddenly he's beaming.] But they're real. For the first time in years...

[buckingbronco.livejournal.com]

[Remembers what Hei told him about the stars back in his world and since Hei is actually happy right now, Dino decides just to be glad about the strange sky thing.] I guess they are. Are you going to go stargazing when you go back to your world?

[contract_star]

Of course! It might be my only chance to see it for real.

[bacchusprince.livejournal.com]

What are?

[contract_star]

The stars. All the stars in my world--they're real.

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

Yo, Li. [waves] What's everyone gawking about?

[contract_star]

It looks like the Astral Sky has been creeping into people's worlds. So the stars--the stars in my world, they're real. They're really... [And he beams.] They're real.

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

[Aww, Li, you're so cute. Ikki beams back.] I didn't really notice, to be honest, but that's great!

[contract_star]

It is! It's the first time in ten years that anyone's been able to see something like this. Most of Tokyo doesn't believe they're real, but...

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

But they are.

[contract_star]

Exactly! Even if they don't believe it...at least I know the truth.
