[A small, dark-haired woman in a long, dark blue velvet cloak appears on the Plane. She is pale, with blood red lipstick and dark makeup around her eyes--eyes that look strikingly unnatural even at first glance. They are a pale, vivid blue, with a kind of radial starburst pattern in the color.]

[She stops, quite suddenly, and looks around before taking another tentative step forward.]

What is this place? I don't remember—

That shop, what was it? Those children...are they the cause of this?

[Another step, and she reaches up to drop the hood of her cloak]

Are my eyes deceiving me? But why would I see the stars? Not darkness, but beauty...is this a dream? No bodies, no surgeons....

A wonderful dream, then.

Well, I thought so too, but it seems possible here, at least!

[after a moment she smiles slightly]

I suppose you're right. May I ask your name?

[remare.livejournal.com]

{Bows politely}

My name is Akari Mizunashi, ma'am. It's very nice to meet you.

[crucifixis.livejournal.com]

[Mag curtsies in response]

The pleasure is mine, Akari. I am called Blind Mag.

[remare.livejournal.com]

Blind...Mag? {She stumbles over the foreign words curiously}

Is it alright for me to call you "Mag", then? Ah, t-then, does that mean you're blind, Mag-san?

[crucifixis.livejournal.com]

Mag would be fine, yes. And I'm not really blind, not any more.

[remare.livejournal.com]

O-Oh, well that's good, isn't it! I was kind of surprised, since you didn't...um...

{She bows nervously} I'm sorry, it's really not my place to ask, is it?

[crucifixis.livejournal.com]

[a smile]

You can ask anything you want, I don't mind.

[remare.livejournal.com]

Oh, no, I won't bother you anymore, Mag-san. Ah...

{A pause} What kind of world is your home like?

[crucifixis.livejournal.com]

[pause]

It is...dark. Violent. Very few find happiness there.

And yours?

[remare.livejournal.com]

...Ah...It's a bit happier, I think. Mars was terraformed 450 years ago, and most of the planet was covered with water. So humans from Earth, which we now call Man-Home decided to rename Mars Aqua because of this. I live in one of the port cities, which was based off the sunken Italian city of Venice, which we call Neo-Venezia.

Mars? What year is it, in your reality?

[remare.livejournal.com]

Oh, it's 2302.
