Cut 1

{She waltzes onto the Plane as if she does so with a purpose in mind. The girl has a very serious expression on her face, and has a knife at her side, not even trying to hide it. But, rather oddly in comparison, the girl is wearing a yukata and formal wear as if she had come from a festival. But seeing the Astral Plane, her already serious expression tightens further.}

...This is not what I had expected.

It rarely is.

{Looking at him sharply} Who are you?

[miss-inoue.livejournal.com]

Oh! Is there a festival today? [Apparently ignoring or just not noticing the dangerous weapon 8D]

[phonomania.livejournal.com]

Of course not.

[miss-inoue.livejournal.com]

Ah.. A birthday?

[phonomania.livejournal.com]

This is what I always wear.

[motions to the knife] But aren't you going to have cake?

[phonomania.livejournal.com]

{...Seriously?} I was going to kill someone.

[didorothy]

This is the Astral Plane.

{Looking at him pointedly} This is a dream world. The one that I'm assuming created it, Meredith, where can I find her?

[didorothy]

[it freaks him out when people say things like 'dream world' to him, you know]

It's more real than that. Meredith is the hardest of 'em to find.

{Sam can get over it :|}

What an idiotic ting to do.

{She pauses and sheathes the knife, which is held behind her obi} Who are you?

[didorothy]

Sam Tyler. Who are you?

{Looks him over briefly, as if committing his name to memory with the face} Ryogi Shiki.

[Donna figures she'll give the benefit of the doubt]

What did you expect?

[phonomania.livejournal.com]

The odd store.

[notquiteawidow.livejournal.com]

Oh, right, I forgot. It's just...well, the store's still around. This is just sort of this...meeting area for all of us.

[phonomania.livejournal.com]

Who is "us"?

[notquiteawidow.livejournal.com]

Right, sorry, been a while since I gave this run down. Right, you're on the Astral Plane, you were brought here by those shop people along with the rest of us. We're just all sort of randomly plucked, I think. But you can go home whenever you like. And come back, too.

...

Why?

[allstrings.livejournal.com]

Yeaaah, join the club. You get used to it after a few times, though.

[phonomania.livejournal.com]

I'd rather not return.

[allstrings.livejournal.com]

Trust me when I say you won't intend to, but you'll wind up back here anyway.

[phonomania.livejournal.com]

Then all the more reason to eliminate that woman.

[allstrings.livejournal.com]

I'm all for kicking some ass, but I gather she's not the easiest person to find.
