035/001 - Ten years have passed / Since you walked out of my life

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[And onto the plane comes a brown-haired girl with big glasses wearing a high school uniform. She's got a tote bag slung over one should and a massive fountain soda in the other.]

Don't be stupid, it's right here. I just want to take a--

[She stops. Her grip on the tote bag tightens while, simultaneously, the soda drops from her hand. A quick skip backwards is all that keeps it from splattering over her shoes and white socks.]

Wh... Kanami? Alice? [She turns around--and takes a startled step backwards.] Wh-Where are you?! What's going on-- [She slips in spilled soda and falls on her butt in the mess, the tote back sliding off her shoulder and scattering school books, shonen manga, a wallet, and bits of paper that look like random notes in a pile over the plane.]



[[Misaki experiment start! It should be noted that she's from before the Gates ever showed up.]]

The bazooka again?

[Grabs her wallet and scrambles to her feet, staring at him.]

B...Bazooka? Who are you? What are you talking about? Did I get shot or something?

[lamb_of_gold]

...Perhaps not. Do you not recognize me, Misaki?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

What? [She starts picking things up... off the... not-floor. And then just stares.]

I'm... How...

[contract_star]

Oh no. Did Dino bring that thing here again?

[lamb_of_gold]

[FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF]

Welcome, again, to the Astral Plane, Misaki.

E-ehhh...!?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

Again? I've never been here before! How do you know me? Who are you?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[G-glaring.] Who's Dino and who're you?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[Glaring. Because. Well. What else can she do?] Wh..what do you want?

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

Um... Nothing...? [Shakes his head and nods to the mess.] Are you alright?

[lamb_of_gold]

This will sound strange, but the last time I saw you, you were about ten years older and had been coming here for at least half a year.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

...right. Because that makes sense. [Scrambling to pick up more of her stuff now DX ]

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

I'm fine. [Fishing things away from the soda spill now. :| ]

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

Do you need some help? [Starting to hover around nearby.]

[lamb_of_gold]

You were, I believe, a Section Chief.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[Arms full] Obviously I do! I'm standing in the middle of--of--what is this? How am I here? I'm either crazy or this is a gimmick or--

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

I.... what? [Brushes her hair away from her face.] Really?

[She shakes her head like she's trying to shoo away a bug.] This is stupid. That's stupid. There... there hasn't been a female Section Chief in the NPA ever.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

It's called the Astral Plane... [He hurries over to help, taking some of the burden for her and trying not to slip on the spilled soda.] It's not a joke or anything... just think about going home, and you'll be there. You do the same to get back.

...Welcome to the Astral Plane, Misaki Kirihara.

[lamb_of_gold]

Well, unless you lied to me, you do attain that position.

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

Yo! Kirihara-san! How about that date?
