It worked! I'm here again! I thought it'd all been a dream, but I knew somehow that I'd be able to reach out like that and touch this place...

[with a small, bemused grin on his face]

Say what you want about it, it's beautiful here. It's a lot different to see the stars without anything in the way.

I see you (or sense you?) other people out there. Has that Meredith lady made an appearance? She didn't answer my questions the last time!

Ms. Sault was certainly vague with me, as well. And I quite agree; the view is stunning.

[donutsnotwar.livejournal.com]

Did she tell you anything at all? After saying what this place was, all she'd say to me was something about a machine.

[dwellonschemes.livejournal.com]

She told me hardly anything at all. She did mention a machine to me as well, but did not explain what this machine was. I must say that she is certainly keeping us in the dark, both figuratively and literally, as I assume our presence amongst the stars is her doing.

[donutsnotwar.livejournal.com]

It's not likely she's keeping quiet for any good reasons, huh? I really wish people would stop doing that.

[looks around and smiles slightly] Maybe it's not too creepy.

[donutsnotwar.livejournal.com]

I sure wouldn't say it is. It might be a little weird, but we'll get used to it, right?

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

I'd guess so but I'd rather go home.

[donutsnotwar.livejournal.com]

Hey, don't worry! We'll figure something out sooner or later.

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

Ah, yeah! We can't give up. I hope my parents don't get mad at me. This was definitely not my fault.

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

It's become a common sight for me, but it never loses its majesty.

No, I'm afraid I've not seen her since the beginning; quite frustrating, isn't she?

[donutsnotwar.livejournal.com]

Really? Do you have a ship?

Yeah, I'd say it's frustrating! What sort of a person just dumps everyone into the middle of nowhere like this?

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

I do, yes. In fact she's not far from that shop.

Someone very bored, I expect. This is why the powerful shouldn't be allowed to be idle.

[donutsnotwar.livejournal.com]

[excitedly] That's amazing! Then you must be from Earth?

[medein.livejournal.com]

I must agree with you. The stars are more beautiful when a person can see them without interference. It's been quite a while since I've seen the stars so clearly, but never in this way.

[donutsnotwar.livejournal.com]

It's the same for me. I know I shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but it's hard to think of this place as being so bad, with a view like this.

[medein.livejournal.com]

It is not something that I am entirely unaccustomed to, but it does catch a person off guard...

...Especially when strange shops pop up downtown.

[donutsnotwar.livejournal.com]

You saw the shop, too? Did you also see those really creepy kids?

[didorothy]

It is nice. You don't get to see much of this with all the light pollution.

[donutsnotwar.livejournal.com]

Light pollution? Where are you from that has that?

[didorothy]

Manchester, actually. Where are you from? [laughs] Actually, I should ask your name, shouldn't I? I'm Sam Tyler.

[donutsnotwar.livejournal.com]

OH! You're from that same place as that guy that worked for a queen but said he wasn't a knight!

[illusoryblue.livejournal.com]

It is beautiful...but. You don't mind being here?

[donutsnotwar.livejournal.com]

It is a little strange, but there's nothing really bad about it so far.

[illusoryblue.livejournal.com]

Mmm. [distracted]I have a...I don't like being an experiment. But...

[he realizes Vash again, then a nod]

I'm Cloud.

[donutsnotwar.livejournal.com]

I'm Akagi.

[reassuring smile] An experiment... well, you never know what'll happen. Maybe we'll get out of this ourselves, or maybe it won't be that bad after all.
