[Onto the Plane appears a young woman in silver slippers, blue jeans and a button-up blouse, appearing entirely average and not at all like someone who would stand out in a crowd-- except she's not in a crowd, she's just arrived on the Plane, and that makes her far more noticeable. She steps around carefully, wide-eyed, turning in little slow pirouettes as she stares at the stars around her.]

Well! This's new. I s'pect I'm not s'posed to have ended up here, seeing as I know where I was and where I ought to've ended up, and since I'm not there, I must've done something different to turn up... well, here. [She scratches her head.] Maybe I sneezed.

[Jamming her hands into the back pockets of her jeans, she meanders around, examining her surroundings with a casual curiosity. She's especially fascinated with the seeming lack of floor.]

So if I'm not there... hmm. Let's see, I was on the Yellow Brick Road, heading away from the Emerald City... I was in the Poppyfield! [She frowns, stopping her pacing.] Glinda told me she'd gotten rid of the enchantment on those poppies.... If I'm asleep in that field right now, Ozma'll never let me hear the end of it! ...But I have to say, this isn't like any dream I've ever had. I'm fairly sure I've never dreamed of walking around in the stars before... though I might wanna start, It's awful pretty here. Wherever "here" is.

[Hands on her hips, she looks around, an approving smile on her face.] I like it. I do seem to be lost, but... eh, I wasn't really going anywhere special, anyways. Always got time for a little exploring.

Well, I believe Arthur C. Clarke said it best: "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." The opposite is also true. Really, either way, it's science at the route of magic.

Funny enough! There actually are governments like that. I try to avoid them.

Still, it isn't a very good comparison. There aren't flagpoles as well dressed as I am. Or with such nice hair.
