[ L is crouched, knees loosely pulled toward his chest with his hands splayed out atop of them.  He's silent, silent, watching the vast expanse of stars and darkness; several minutes tick by before he finally speaks. ]

...Hm.  This is unexpected...

The newbies keep getting weirder and weirder.

[dwellonschemes.livejournal.com]

I would certainly agree with you on that sentiment.

[sucre-justice.livejournal.com]

Guilty as charged, I suppose.

[sucre-justice.livejournal.com]

That's relatively reassuring, though no less confusing, I'm afraid.

[bloodyroadking.livejournal.com]

So you agree? Guess you're a little smarter than you look.

[lamb_of_gold]

You'll find that the unexpected becomes the norm here.

[sucre-justice.livejournal.com]

Up to your interpretation, in this case.

[sucre-justice.livejournal.com]

Hn, I see...

And where is 'here,' exactly?

[lamb_of_gold]

This place is called the Astral Plane. I know very little else about it, besides the fact that it seems to be a universal crossroad of sorts.

[bloodyroadking.livejournal.com]

Most weirdos don't know they are, so you're at an advantage.

[sucre-justice.livejournal.com]

Astral Plane. [He grows quiet for a moment.]

Would you happen to know the circumstances involved in one appearing here?

[lamb_of_gold]

The discovery of an odd shop that very few others can locate. That seems to be the only consistent link between anyone here.

[sucre-justice.livejournal.com]

I'll consider myself ahead of the game, in that case.

And you? I'm curious as to what term you'd use to self-describe.

[dwellonschemes.livejournal.com]

Indeed, not. I am probably more confused now, I'm afraid, than when I first arrived.

I assume you have also had an experience with a strange shop, and even stranger twins?

[bloodyroadking.livejournal.com]

Fang King, that's all anyone needs to hear.

[sucre-justice.livejournal.com]

[Something akin to relief might be observed by a keen eye.]

Interesting.

Ah, I hope you don't mind me asking questions. Where are my manners?

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

Well. That's certainly a more nonchalant reaction than usual.

[sucre-justice.livejournal.com]

...yes, I have. I take it that's no coincidence.

[sucre-justice.livejournal.com]

Ah yes. 'Fang King' it is, then.

I take it this isn't new to you. [gestures to their surroundings; empty and vast.]

[lamb_of_gold]

It's quite alright. Questions are the lingua franca here. Answers, however, are harder to come by.

[sucre-justice.livejournal.com]

Is it? Ah, I suppose it would be. You could say I'm not one to react all too strongly to my surroundings before I take everything into consideration.

I take it you've seen more than one of these sort of ...appearances, then?

[dwellonschemes.livejournal.com]

I think it would be safe to say, based on information I have gathered from others, that it is not a coincidence, no. I believe you will also find that those in your world will not have any knowledge of this place.

[bloodyroadking.livejournal.com]

I've been here for over a month, from what I've heard nobody's been here any longer than that.

But before you ask any questions: no, we don't know.

[sucre-justice.livejournal.com]

Ahh... As they often are, sadly.

You mentioned an 'universal crossroad'; I'm afraid I don't quite follow.

[sucre-justice.livejournal.com]

'My world'... implying there are multiples...
