[ The stars here are quite amazing. Akai has trouble tearing his eyes from them initially, but slowly instinct kicks in, and his hand moves to the hilt of the sword on his belt. The mask he wears over his face causes his voice to sound tinny, despite its depth. ]

What witchery is this?

Unfortunately, it's hardly an act of witchcraft.

((OOC: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE♥♥))

Whatever its source, I had no desire to come here.

[ He draws his sword warily. ] Are you the reason behind this? I warn you, I do not take kindly to being played for a fool, nor anyone who would use children as a lure.

[lamb_of_gold]

On the contrary. They are the ones behind this.

[crimson-mists.livejournal.com]

You would have me believe mere children are the cause of... [ he looks about, frustrated ] this?

[lamb_of_gold]

They are, if nothing else, the maintainers of it.

[Lol mask. Hei puts on a confused expression.]

Ah...it's not. This is the Astral Plane. [Small smile.] It's a good thing you arrived now. Things have been rather crazy around here the past week.

[crimson-mists.livejournal.com]

Our opinions differ. It is not a "good thing" at all.

[ Have a red sword pointing at you, Hei. ] Who are you?

[contract_star]

[Eep! Also ready to go for his own knife if he needs to, though it doesn't show on his face.] I-I just mean that it's better that you arrived now instead of a few days ago. Th-that's all.

I'm Li Shengshun. Um...I didn't bring you here...the Twins did.

[crimson-mists.livejournal.com]

Hnn. Blaming children seems to be a popular sport in this "plain" of yours.

[contract_star]

They're...not really children, though.

Ah! A newcomer! [Trots up, leaving her usual trail of flowers.] Hello, young one~ Welcome to the Astral Plane.

[crimson-mists.livejournal.com]

[ Random critters trotting up and talking isn't something Akai's terribly used to. He draws back defensively, hand still on that sword as he studies her. ] What manner of beast are you?

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Hm? Well, I am a wolf right now! But I suppose you meant in general, didn't you? In that case, I am a goddess--a sun goddess, to be precise.

[crimson-mists.livejournal.com]

[ He lifts his eyebrows. ] Why would a goddess choose to take the form of a beast?

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

I find it rather convenient! [Proceeds to scratch at an ear.]

Ah, but, what is your name, young one? I am Amaterasu~

[cyfor.livejournal.com]

...are you a witch?

[crimson-mists.livejournal.com]

[ More talking animals! Akai doesn't look pleased. Hand on the sword again. ] That is hardly the question a talking cat should ask.

[cyfor.livejournal.com]

[Steps back. Giving him a wary look.] You think I can. though? I can talk?

[crimson-mists.livejournal.com]

You are speaking very clearly, creature.

[cyfor.livejournal.com]

[PURRRRR. She skips nimbly forward and starts rubbing her face on his legs.] I'm Cy. Who're you?

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

I don't think the Plane is magic or anything.

[crimson-mists.livejournal.com]

Then how would you explain it? [ Grumpy Akai is grumpy. He gives Shun an even look. ]

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

I don't know. I don't think anyone has managed to explain this place yet.

[crimson-mists.livejournal.com]

How convenient. You are of the mind that those children are to blame too, then?

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

Well yes. They're the ones who drag us here. It's them and a woman who run this place.
