[Enters the Astral Plane, completely dripping in blood, wearing a large, oversized collared shirt and nothing else, covered totally in red. A disgruntled expression on his face that is blending from his usually cheery and a thoroughly annoyed one. He looks around before sitting down, hands between his legs and feet pointed inwards, still managing to look quite cute though dangerous. ]

.... Not fun.

[He scowls now, nibbling on his thumb irritably with the blood pooling around his body]

Not fun at all.

[And he sits there, almost sulking.]

[Staring at the blood in shock]

Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?

[identitas.livejournal.com]

[glances up, frowning]

No.

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

B..but you're covered in blood!

[identitas.livejournal.com]

You do not need to assume that it's mine.

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

Oh, uh...were you in a fight then?

[identitas.livejournal.com]

Something like that.

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

Did you win?

[identitas.livejournal.com]

I always win.

[looks over him silently] What's not fun?

[identitas.livejournal.com]

[frowns, bringing a dripping sleeve to his mouth]

Losing your turn in a game.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

What game was that? Looks a bit messy.

[identitas.livejournal.com]

The game of Life. [laughs]

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Ahh, toughest game of them all!

[identitas.livejournal.com]

Do you play well at it?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[laughs] I like to think I do, actually. I've lived through enough things. I think I'm a veteran.

[identitas.livejournal.com]

Oh, really now?

[cocks head curiously]

Tell me about something then -- something interesting.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[pulls a face, then says] How about sealing a Time Loop while stopping a massive pirate attack?

[identitas.livejournal.com]

[expression grows more excited at this] Time Loop? What is that?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[grins] It's where time acts like it's in a closed circuit instead of free flowing. It's like walking a circular path. If you stay on that path, then you'll pass the same things over and over again. A time loop continuously loops past the same events.

[identitas.livejournal.com]

[blinks, staring] That sounds very...

Where do you find them? Are they common?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Not especially common, no. They happen when time is warped and space isn't able to properly catch up with it.

[identitas.livejournal.com]

And you ... fix them?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Yep! Well, I fix anything, really. It's just what I do.

[identitas.livejournal.com]

A fixer....

[silence as he ponders this]

That's a strange sort of job.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Really? Why do you say that?

[identitas.livejournal.com]

[shrugs shoulders]

Well, what if they don't want to be fixed, then what? Why do you have to do it?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Ah, well, it depends. Sometimes things need fixing even if people don't agree. I make that decision sometimes.
