First Clash

[mindtheboulder.livejournal.com]

[Felix's immediate reaction to the plane is fear, which he disguises by drawing his second-hand sword and putting on a mask of irritation.] What is this? Sol Sanctum? That is not possible.

[Rising tension] Unless--Wise One? Where are you? Is this your doing? Saturos! Menardi! Your threats I will bear without complaint, but this mockery is too much. Saturos! Alex? I swear to you, Alex, if you're playing games with me you will regret it!

…Jenna? [And, with an edge of desperation that can't really be labeled anything else,] Jenna!

[Hey! He knows that name!]

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

[...And that voice....]

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

[And those other names]

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

[...And that FACE]

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

FELIX! [Incoming sword]

[mindtheboulder.livejournal.com]

[And he barely manages a parry, skipping back out of reach to give himself a moment to regroup.]

I might have known.

[usagipino]

Saturos! Menardi! Alex! Jenna! Saturos! Menardi! Alex! Jenna!

[mindtheboulder.livejournal.com]

[WHAT. THE FUCK? He points the sword at her.] Child, if you know where they might be--

[usagipino]

[Pino has never seen a sword before, so she'll be reaching toward the shiny now.] Saturos, Menardi, Alex, Jenna...

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

Sol Sanctum? Hey, I've heard that before. You know a guy named Isaac?

[mindtheboulder.livejournal.com]

[He takes a step back. WAY TO MAKE HIS TENSION LEVEL SKYROCKET.] You know him?

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

Sure. He's a friend of mine.

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

Toph stay away from him!

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

Huh? Why?

[contract_star]

They're fine. Just think of home and you'll go back. Time doesn't pass, so they won't even notice you've gone.

[mindtheboulder.livejournal.com]

[Ready to attack at any moment.] Who are you? What is this nonsense?

[contract_star]

[Hand on one of his knives, just in case.] This is the Astral Plane. I had nothing to do with bringing you here; I'm in the same boat as you, alright?

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Ah! Do not be alarmed. This is the Astral Plane. You can return to your home simply by thinking of it.

[mindtheboulder.livejournal.com]

I am not alarmed! [Only he so is.] Who are you? How have you done this?

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

[Faint smile.] I had nothing to do with this, young one. If you are seeking revenge, I suggest you seek the Twins, although I somehow doubt you will be able to fight them properly. In any case, this place is a crossroads between realities and worlds. All of us are part of a grand experiment.

[madamemoiselle]

You don't need to be afraid. You can go home easily.

[mindtheboulder.livejournal.com]

I am not afraid. [His grip on the weapon tightens. Once upon a time he never would have assumed the worst of a lady--but that was before he met Saturos and Menardi.]

[mercwamouth]

AUNTIE EM!

[mindtheboulder.livejournal.com]

[WHAT THE SHIT have a Brambleseed cast underneath your feet and an explosion of thorny vines ripping upward.]

[collareddog.livejournal.com]

[Rico's immediate reaction to that is to raise her hand to the opening of her coat.]
