final fantasy: unlimited (d1) akai kiri

(no subject)

[ 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♥♥))

[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.

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.

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

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

On the contrary. They are the ones behind this.

[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.

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

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

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

That is not terribly believable.

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.

Oh, then what would they be? [ Akai does not look convinced. ]

[ 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?

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.

Unfortunately, it is the truth.

...are you a witch?

[ Skeptical look, but he seems content with that answer for now. ]

The lack of Mist is unsettling. How does one breathe in this place?

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

W-well, I...I don't really know. But they're older than they look, and...they're not human, or anything else I've seen here...

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

Human... [ Akai seems to consider that word for a moment, then finally lowers his sword. ] Why would they maintain a place without Mist? How is one to survive here?

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

Mist? Um...well see, everyone here is from a different world. This place is like a crossroads between worlds, I guess. Not everyone's world has..."Mist."

You are speaking very clearly, creature.
