Function \\ One

[coiledheart.livejournal.com]

[And suddenly, there is a Haraken, wearing a set of the by-now-familiar cyberglasses. The only indication that he's alarmed by this situation is the fact that his eyebrows go up. He pauses. Looks around. Pauses again.]

[He lifts up the glasses.] Ah... So it isn't...? [Blink. He resettles his glasses and calls up a set of floating blue screens around himself. Quietly, trailing off as he starts tapping away at the screens:] But it still seems to be functioning...

[looks him over carefully] You are from Fumie's world.

[didorothy]

[...not more of Fumie world kids. It is impossible taking care of them all!!]

Hullo. Uhm, I'm Sam. This isn't an Obsolete Space, which is possibly what you're thinking.

[coiledheart.livejournal.com]

[...derp?] You know Fumie?

[coiledheart.livejournal.com]

[...] Ah... Is this the other side?

[brigadiertardis.livejournal.com]

I do. Are you as intelligent as she?

[didorothy]

No, no, definitely not. This is the Astral Plane. It has nothing to do with glasses. Or death.

[coiledheart.livejournal.com]

She's probably smarter than I am. [Staring. At this person. Who has suddenly changed into another person.]

[lamb_of_gold]

[What's with all the damn kids!] Hello.

[coiledheart.livejournal.com]

[A slight shift, gaze glancing down and away.] Oh.

[coiledheart.livejournal.com]

[...purple hair.] Hello.

[didorothy]

[Minato, fortunately, has trained Sam for this]

Are you a friend of Fumie's?

[lamb_of_gold]

[It's LAVENDER, damnit!] Welcome to the Astral Plane.

[Nod. Bow.] Harakawa Ken'ichi.

[coiledheart.livejournal.com]

[...purple hair.] Astral...?

[didorothy]

[he pauses - the Japanese names let him get just confused enough to see where the slurring of names occurs. Also, he saw how Fumie named Vash]

Are you Haraken?

[lamb_of_gold]

That is what this place is called, yes.

[coiledheart.livejournal.com]

[:|! Nod.]

[coiledheart.livejournal.com]

Ah. [Looking around.] Is it a planetarium?

[lamb_of_gold]

Not quite. This place is a crossroads of reality.

[didorothy]

She spoke a bit about you.

[So Sam knows this not-speaking line-face thing]

This is the Astral Plane. It isn't an Obsolete Space or anything. It's not part of the network. It's very real. You come and go by just - just doing it, thinking about it. Like taking a step.

[coil-legacy.livejournal.com]

Haraken! You're here too?

[brigadiertardis.livejournal.com]

I would not be surprised. She is quite intelligent.

[coiledheart.livejournal.com]

Fumie's here? [He pushes his glasses up to sit on top of his head again... and then stares at the screens that still hover around him.] I can see them.

[coiledheart.livejournal.com]

[...?] Am I asleep?

[coiledheart.livejournal.com]

[Someone he recognizes!] Yasako...
