[Buffy arrives on the Plane with a general air of awe, but awe mixed with the extremely wary. Think open-mouthed with a hint of tension as if ready to stake anything that may or may not jump out at her.]

Holy hummus... [She breathes, taking the enormity of it all in.] Toto, I don't think we're in Scotland anymore.

[She's slowly revolving on the spot, which shouldn't really be dizzying and yet certainly seems to be having that effect.] This is insane. This is like that trip to the Planetarium in sixth grade where if I'd been paying any attention I bet I'd know the names of ALL this stuff-- Oh wait, that's the guy with the belt! I know him! Or... no, actually it's just an arrowy thing.

[She sighs, hands on hips, apparently only just realising the worrying reality of the current situation.] Fantastic. I've gone and gotten myself magically kidnapped AGAIN. For like, the third time in two days. The universe could really stand to expand its repertoire.

[She raises her voice, addressing the general ether.]

OKAY THEN. COME OUT, EVIL HELLGOD or HARBINGER OF DOOM or LOCH NESS WHATEVER. LET'S DO THIS. BUT CAN WE MAKE IT SNAPPY? I WAS PLANNING A NAP.

[Standing a little back, because she doesn't want to get staked] ...Loch Ness? As in the Loch Ness monster?

[likeajoan.livejournal.com]

[ooh a person! Slightly jumpy suspicious eyeing time]

Huh. You don't look very scaly, I'll give you that.

[exserpens.livejournal.com]

Evil Hellgod, eh? I rather like that.

[likeajoan.livejournal.com]

[have a raised eyebrow]

In my experience they're not a whole barrel of laughs.

[Dru doesn't jump out at Buffy, which is probably for the best. She tends to move as if she's gliding, though, which is still pretty creepy in itself.]

It's the Slayer. Lost little Slayer, strolling through the stars.

[likeajoan.livejournal.com]

[why yes that IS very creepy, and Buffy is suitably creeped, and also confused, she's sort of staring at Dru as if she's a mirage]

Drusilla?

[a-pretty-fire.livejournal.com]

You've walked such a long way, but you still remember me.

[mercwamouth]

...I love this place!

[But which season is she from?]

...How many vampires have you bonked so far?

[madamemoiselle]

Ne, you haven't been kidnapped. There's nothing to worry about.

[likeajoan.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's unfortunate. Clearly I need to invest in some more efficient transport. [pause of... still staring]

I haven't seen you since Spike tied me up in a cave. What are you doing here? And I love how I say that like I know where 'here' is.

[likeajoan.livejournal.com]

[oh dear god no. Have a look of WTF]

Excuse me?

[likeajoan.livejournal.com]

...Oh. [puzzled look]

Oh? Then where am I? 'Cause I'm pretty sure I didn't set out for a galaxy far far away.

[mercwamouth]

I think you heard me.

Are you not familiar with the term "bonked"? Would "boned" be better?

[a-pretty-fire.livejournal.com]

A penny farthing, to cross the bridges to the clouds on the other side.

Oh? That will be fun. [Dru moves a little closer (still not too close, though), her head tilting to the side.] It's a between place. A place where all the lines connect together. Spiderwebs.

[madamemoiselle]

Well, it's not very far away at all! This is the Astral Plane, it's called, and you can go home by thinking about it. It's weird at first, but you get used to it pretty quickly!

[handysparehand.livejournal.com]

Third time in two days? Really?

[gerogerodance.livejournal.com]

[Enter Amane, the currently pretty big, 13 feet tall frog! And GASP, he heard the word 'evil'.]

WHERE, where, gero!? [Looks around, flailing.]

[likeajoan.livejournal.com]

[brb spluttering]

I understand the WORDS, what I don't understand is how you're so well-versed in my personal life, WHICH is also nobody's business AND I have no idea what you're talking about anyway.

[likeajoan.livejournal.com]

'Astral Plane'. Right. I've heard about stuff like that... [and sort of muttered to herself] Willow or maybe Giles, hm.

[and she's back]

But seriously? I can just think my way out of here? I'm not doomed for all eternity unless I get true love's kiss or anything like that?

[mercwamouth]

[OK, so early on.]

How's Spike doin'?

[madamemoiselle]

{Laughs} That would be a pretty unfortunate thing! But no, it's nothing like that. Just think about it and you go home.

This place is just kind of...a crossroads of realities, I think other people say. There's all kinds of different people here.

[likeajoan.livejournal.com]

[Buffy sees that moving closer thar, and watches Dru closely just in case]

A between place. Spiderwebs. Oh how I do enjoy a riddlefest.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

[because he can't just be normal, the Doctor arrives in a half-suit of armor with his cutlass (tee hee!)]

Did I hear Loch Ness Monster?

[likeajoan.livejournal.com]

[wry Buffy is wry]

And you know the scary thing? Only a slight exaggeration.

[likeajoan.livejournal.com]

[WHAT. THE. HELL. Buffy just stares for a silent moment]

You're a giant godzilla frog.
