※ Act 001

[polite-sinner.livejournal.com]

[Hakkai appears on the Plane with a small white dragon nervously perched on his shoulder, and a look of pleasant surprise crosses his face -- clearly he wasn't expecting this to work. The dragon, however, doesn't seem quite so happy, if the startled chirp and fluttering wings are evidence of anything. Hakkai strokes the dragon's neck reassuringly.]

Now, please don't be afraid, Jeep. You're perfectly safe, really. I'd wanted to show you want this place looked like, especially after having spoken so much about it -- it's quite lucky this worked, isn't it? I would've felt silly if I'd appeared here without you.

[The dragon relaxes a little and cranes its long neck around to inspect his surroundings. Hakkai coaxes him off his shoulder, and the dragon begins flying around, though he stays close to his owner.]

Ah, be sure not to wander too far off, alright? ♥

((OoC: tags might be slow from me! I ought to be studying :3 Also, a wild Sanzo might appear and tag threads, so please be wary of hostile Buddhist monks. \o/ ))

[Oh look, it's ... Is that a real dragon? Lau is now close by as he inspects it curiously, wondering if he can poke it without being bit]

This Plane is just full of surprises.

[polite-sinner.livejournal.com]

[Hakkai smiles pleasantly] Ah ha ha, it is, isn't it? It would appear as though surprising everyone would be its mode of operation.

[:O]

[polite-sinner.livejournal.com]

[:D] Ah, hello there!

[Lau also smiles pleasantly - Though that never changes] It sure is. All of us here are a part of its operation. After all, this Plane is a crossroads between various different realities. There is no end to the possibilities to the surprises you will venture upon here.

Though to actually meet a man with a real dragon.... You must be very important!

2/2

[opiumandsmiles.livejournal.com]

... Oh, and do you know anything about this place? I'm rather new.

[polite-sinner.livejournal.com]

Important? Ah ha ha, no, not really. I simply act as his caretaker, and I think he's taken quite a liking to me, is all. I thought it would be nice to show this place to him, considering how remarkable it is, as you've said.

-- Though I'm afraid I'm quite new myself, so unfortunately I can't be much help there.

[opiumandsmiles.livejournal.com]

Ah, I see! He sure is interesting to me either way. Where I come from, dragons are just a part of culture. A type of symbol. It's nice to finally meet a real one.

It seems we're on the same boat then. All I know is what a few others have told me... Oh, and that this place isn't a hallucination. Though I'm still unsure if I believe that.

[Sanzo has recently figured out how to bring things to the Plane, so he's currently sitting at a table, reading the paper and drinking coffee. And smoking, of course.]

[polite-sinner.livejournal.com]

Ah, well, they're a bit of a rarity where I'm from, actually! I'd never seen one before I happened upon Hakuryu here. [he gestures to the white dragon, who still is flying around :3]

I should hope this isn't a hallucination -- it's quite a vivid one, if so. All I really know is that we can arrive and leave at will, and that those in charge of this place seem to enjoy running experiments on its visitors.

[polite-sinner.livejournal.com]

[Oh, Sanzo, smoking is so bad for you. ): Which is why after having chirped a little at seeing a familiar face, Hakuryu will be landing on your paper.]

[worldly_monk]

... Where did you come from?

[polite-sinner.livejournal.com]

[Hakuryu chirps at you, as Hakkai comes up mostly from behind.]

Ah, Sanzo. Nice to see you here again.

[worldly_monk]

[Sanzo tugs on his paper a little, trying to shift the dragon off of it.]

Hn. At least here I can read my paper in relative peace.

[polite-sinner.livejournal.com]

[The dragon skitters back onto the table and off of the paper]

I take it Hazel-san is giving you a bit of trouble, then?

[worldly_monk]

[The dragon gets a little nod of thanks. Because it's always good to be polite to the transportation. Even if you're not currently using it.]

No more than usual.

[opiumandsmiles.livejournal.com]

Oh, really? Where are you from? [Tilts head a bit as he watches Hakuryu fly around the area]

That sounds about right.

[lamb_of_gold]

A Dragon?

[polite-sinner.livejournal.com]

Ah, well, I suppose it needn't be only him to disturb you while you were reading.

[polite-sinner.livejournal.com]

Ah, yes. They're quite rare, where I'm from. Do you have them in your world?

[worldly_monk]

Tch. At least the hulking bodyguard doesn't talk.

[polite-sinner.livejournal.com]

I suppose he simply doesn't have much to say to you, especially given your usual temperament.

[worldly_monk]

... He doesn't have much to say to anyone, so I doubt it has anything to do with my 'usual temperament'.

[lamb_of_gold]

No. Just the Dragon Cloth, but that's not really a Dragon.

[polite-sinner.livejournal.com]

Dragon Cloth? I don't believe we have anything like that where I'm from. May I ask what it is?
