Scene: 001

[appears with a slight frown on his face, and looks around once again.]

Ara...

[so it wasn't a dream. Confusing. He really-really wants to know what the hell is going on...]

.........

[after a few minutes, he decides to explore the.... place, so he skates around slowly.]

Comments

[a little surprised to see another person on those skate-things] Hello? Are you new?

[bacchusprincess.livejournal.com]

[stops suddenly, and for a minute he just stares at you. Some may even say, with a 'dumb face'.]

.... [s-smiiiiiiile] I suppose I am~? Who might you be~?

[donutsnotwar.livejournal.com]

[smiling back] I'm Akagi. I guess that means I get to say, welcome! The hospitality around here's a little bit lacking, since there's nothing here, but most people are friendly.

[bacchusprincess.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm Juliet~! Pleasure to meet you, Akagi~! [bows]

I see that there is nothing here, but where is this here? I thought I was in a shop... A weird one, but still a Shop.

[donutsnotwar.livejournal.com]

It's nice to meet you, too, but there's no need to be so formal!

I don't know if this place has a real physical location. Finding that shop seems to be the requirement for coming here. It's the one thing everyone has in common.

[bacchusprincess.livejournal.com]

I'll try to remember that~! [winks]

Ara...? [blinks] You all have seen that weird shop before then? I only saw it... yesterday, I guess. Or before yesterday...?

[donutsnotwar.livejournal.com]

That's right. I first saw it over a month ago myself.

[bacchusprincess.livejournal.com]

It was there since that long...? Oh my...

[lamb_of_gold]

And another still...

[bacchusprincess.livejournal.com]

Excuse me~? [smiles smiles]

[lamb_of_gold]

I was simply remarking at how many people have arrived.

[bacchusprincess.livejournal.com]

Aah, it sounds like you're familiar with this place.

[smiles, and skates closer, bowing slightly]

I would like to know more about it myself too. Care to enlighten me, Mr...?

[lamb_of_gold]

I've been here for about a month.

I know very little definite answers, but this place seems to be a crossroads of sorts. Very few people can access it, and those who can seem to be part of an 'experiment'.

I am Mu. [slight head-bow in return]

[bacchusprincess.livejournal.com]

Mu, it's an honor to meet you. [bows once again] I'm Juliet, the Joyful.

[still smiling, but it looks a bit forced now]

Experiment? Haha, how---.... Oh. [suddenly remembers meeting with Meredith and the Twins... and all. Uh-oh, this is screwed up.]

What the hell...? I mean, and how we can make it stop?

[lamb_of_gold]

The honor is mine, Juliet.

If there is a way to stop this, I do not know it. It is possible for us to return home, but, in the words of Meredith herself "We may never leave."

[bacchusprincess.livejournal.com]

Heee...

This sounds a bit stupid. Never leave from where exactly?

[lamb_of_gold]

"The Machine," whatever that is.

[bacchusprincess.livejournal.com]

Ah, so the key of this mystery is that machine then~?

I'm really thankful to you, Mu, for telling me all this.

[lamb_of_gold]

That's what it seems.

I only wish I knew more, really.

[bacchusprincess.livejournal.com]

Oh, how we always wish to know more? [dramatic pose] A man's life is full of searching. Searching for answers!

[/random....]

[lamb_of_gold]

I suppose it is.

[bacchusprincess.livejournal.com]

Sometimes, the questions are the same, but the answers... [shakes head]

Even though it would be my pleasure if we could find the answer we both... we all looking for. [smiley smiley, no not 42.]

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

[little girl is staring at you =Db]

...You okay?

[bacchusprincess.livejournal.com]

[staring back... and remembers he doesn't really like children 8Db]

...... [but still, beams] I think I lost my way in this jungle named fate~!

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

[and whoooosh over her head] You're from a jungle??

[bacchusprincess.livejournal.com]

['the kid is so adorably dumb' look, while deciding he still hates children] Oh how cute~ [kneels down] People often relates to the place as a jungle, yes~ Or a maze even. With monsters who are eating little girls, like us, for dinner~~~

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

[eep!] M-Monsters?? What kind of monsters??

[bacchusprincess.livejournal.com]

Many kind. [sighs dramatically] They are sometimes invisible, and lurks only in people's hearts! Those are the worst kind.

Bu! [raises a finger] That's why, people needs heroes! Heroes like Romeo, my knight in shiny armour~ [giggles]

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

[tilts her head] Romeo? Who's that?

[bacchusprincess.livejournal.com]

[stands back up] He is the Leader of our team, the brightest star amongst all stars, and my beloved person~! [shy shy]

But that's enough about it~! What name I can call you little girl~?

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

[eyebrows go up slightly] Uhh, I'm Fumie.

[bacchusprincess.livejournal.com]

Fumie~! It's an honor to meet you! I heard you're good in gathering information~ Am I wrong~?

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

[proudly now] Yep! I do my best to gather any and all information around here. And it's nice to meet you, too, uhm...?

[bacchusprincess.livejournal.com]

Ah, pardon my rudeness~! [bows] I'm Juliet, the Joyful~!

I would like to hear more about this place~! [smiles smiles]

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

Juliet? [blinks, decides not to question this!] Well, let's see, this is the Astral Plane. It's supposed to represent the universe. You can bring anything here you like. Even buildings. I just have a bed here for if I want to catch up on sleep. Oh! Right, time doesn't pass here. And hmm, there's a lot of people here. Like probably at least a dozen.

[bacchusprincess.livejournal.com]

Oh, I see... [surprised slightly] Astral Plane... is it? Hee~ [looks around dreamily]

... It sounds rather interesting~! Even though a few of you are talking about this place as if it was something bad.

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

Well...it's mostly the people who own this place who are worrying. They don't seem to care much about if someone gets hurt or not.

[bacchusprincess.livejournal.com]

... You can get hurt here? [totally serious]

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

Well yeah. Monsters were running around a couple of weeks ago.

[bacchusprincess.livejournal.com]

Monsters....?! But-- how? Why?! [duuuuuuumb stare...]

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

[hands on her hips] The people who run this place are weird. They can create monsters. Things have been okay lately though.

[bacchusprincess.livejournal.com]

[he could tell, they are weird, but THIS much... le sigh]

T-Thank you for informing me, little one~ [bows]

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

No problem! Good luck, Juliet!
