[A very tiny and rather startled girl appears on the Plane amidst a puff of dust.]

Whoa! What the...? Hey! [Toph taps a foot against the ground.] What kind of ground is this?

[The surprise is quickly turning to anger.] Alright, what's the big idea? This is some kind of trick, isn't it? Well you picked the wrong girl to mess with!

[She looks every which way, milky eyes never focusing on anything.] Come out here and face me! I can feel you out there!

[She slides one foot across the Astral floor and a look of worry crosses her face.]

[Have an Aniki who has gotten her ass severely kicked I DON'T KNOW TO WHAT DEGREE SINCE THE THREAD HASN'T FINISHED YET. But she's sort of laying on the plane just trying to breathe. Some cracked ribs there, definitely.]

You're fine, lass. This is the Astral Plane.

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

[Toph whirls to face her the instant she hears her speak, assuming a fighting stance.]

Who are you? What did you do with the ground? What is...?

[The anger disappears in an instant and her eyes widen.] Hey...you're hurt, aren't you?

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

[Chuckle. OW. Won't be doing that again.] I've had worse. Aniki. What's you're name?

And do you see... you can't see, can you? But then how...

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[Because she's sort of sinking into a pit of misery in the back of my head so I have to force her out to do SOMETHING.]

It's all right. You must be new. This is the Astral Plane. The Twins brought you here.

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

"Aniki"? [Suspicious now.] That doesn't sound like a Fire Nation name...

[:|] Oh, brilliant observation. You just...sounded hurt, is all. [Noooot gonna mention the earthbending quite yet. For all she knows this is a Fire Nation trap.]

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

I'm not Fire Nation. And you know too much about where you are for your blindness to be as simple as all that.

[Too tired for this.]

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

[Whirls on Misaki, sliding easily into a fighting stance.]

New? What do you mean, "new"? And what Twins? Those freaky little kids in that shop?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

I mean, you've never been here before, and are therefore new to this situation. And yes, them. [Also too tired for this. WHAT THE HELL, CHARACTERS.]

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

[Visibly relaxes, though she's also quite surprised.] You're not? But then, where are you from?

[Folds her arms.] So I'm good at knowing where things are. So what? You kind of have to when you can't see, you know.

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

And what situation am I new to? What the heck is an Astral Plane anyway? Sounds like Spirit World stuff to me.

How could they bring me here, anyway? All I did was go into that shop.

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

[UM SO SHE'S BLEEDING APPARENTLY. From a belly wound. The bestest kind.]

Corus in Tortall. I've never heard of the Fire Nation, but then, I've never heard of most of the places people here are from. [Closes her eyes.]

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

[WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO TOPH ON HER FIRST DAY D:]

Never heard of the Fire Nation? How can you not have...?

[Sighs.] Well I've never heard of Tortall, so I guess that makes us even. I'm Toph. It's nice to meet you.

[Is now quite worried.] H-hey, are you sure you're alright?

[ram-of-gold.livejournal.com]

This is the Astral Plane, I very much doubt those responsible for this will come out.

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

[IT'S BECAUSE I WUV YOU.]

Nice to meet you, lass. [Wet cough] Don't worry about me.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

Congratulations. You're part of a grand experiment no one understand in a machine no one can use. I've never heard of the spirit world. You can get home by thinking about it, and I don't know how they brought you here.

[NORMALLY SHE'S NICER TO KIDS. DX]

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

...You don't sound too good. Uh...just hold on a sec, okay? My friend can heal you. I'll just go get her...

...um...once I figure out how to get out of here, anyway...

[notquiteawidow.livejournal.com]

It's stars, except not really. Hell if I know what it really is. Positively barmy if you ask me.

[she walks closer, unsure] I'm Donna. It's all right.

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

She won't come.

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

[Good thing Toph prefers straight talk to be patronized :|]

A machine? Yeah, I think that woman mentioned a machine...but it's gotta just be the Fire Nation, right?

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

[Whirls on him.]

People keep saying that, but what the heck is an Astral Plane?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[Rubs her eye] I've never heard of the Fire Nation. I'm Misaki Kirihara, from Tokyo Japan.

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

[Whirls around to face her.]

Stars? That's boring.

No it's not! I walked into some shop that my friends couldn't even see and suddenly the ground disappeared!

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

[Toph's eyes widen.] You've really never heard of the Fire Nation...

But this doesn't make any sense. And where is Tokyo Japan?

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

Sure she will! Katara never misses an opportunity to be all compassionate and motherly. And she's a really good healer too.

The Astral Plane is apparently a place where many realities intersect.

You may return home by thinking about going back if you wish.
