What the hell is this? No, seriously, what is this? This ain’t Mac Anu, this sure as hell isn’t any of the other weird places I know about, I know that. Don’t tell me I’ve gotten lost in my own hometown! That isn’t possible; this doesn’t even look like it, anyway. [A pause and an irritated sigh.] I was seriously hoping I’d have a break from the weird stuff this time, but no. No breaks, at all, ever – it bites.

...Oh well, this place doesn’t look so bad, at any rate. It’s certainly a lot better than some of the places I’ve wound up stuck in. [Looks around for a moment, and the next part seems to be more musing out loud than anything.] Still, appearances deceive, so I better stay on my guard. At least, until somebody tells me what on earth is going on here. …If there’s anybody here; I wonder if there is?

[Kuhn is passing by. And he would keep right on walking, but he happens to notice that hey! This person looks familiar!]

... Haseo?

[shadow-shot.livejournal.com]

...Kuhn?

[Looks surprised for a moment before asking the inevitable question.] What's going on?

[silenteden.livejournal.com]

Heeey, Haseo! [He grins and approaches.] I had a feeling you'd show up here, man, I just didn't know when, or if someone else would beat you to it. [He laughs a bit.]

This is the Astral Plane. I'm guessing you saw a weird shop and went in to investigate?

[shadow-shot.livejournal.com]

Oh...'kay then.

Yeah, I did. Take it that's got something to do with this, then?

[silenteden.livejournal.com]

Yeah. The twins dragged us all here, for some sort of... experiment or... something.

I see you're stuck in your character, too, while you're here. Wonder why that is...

[Don't mind Kuhn. He's a little clueless and a lot excited.]

[contract_star]

New here?

[shadow-shot.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

[contract_star]

Well, welcome to the Astral Plane.

[shadow-shot.livejournal.com]

Oh. That's what this is called, huh?

...It's strange.

[contract_star]

[Slight smile.] It is, at first. You get used to it, though.

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

[Have an Isaac!]

Hello!

[shadow-shot.livejournal.com]

[Hello, strange friendly person! Here, this is an awkward person.]

...Hello. Do you have any idea what's going on? I already heard about the twins, but - does this place have a name or anything?

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

Yup. This is the Astral Plane.

[shadow-shot.livejournal.com]

Huh. Makes sense, with all the stars. ...though this place is still pretty odd. No Arenas, no nothing - what are people supposed to do here? [...She shakes her head a bit, after a moment.] Ah, I'm new, y'see.

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

Well since time doesn't pass at home while you're here, I usually just rest and clean up.

[Lurk lurkity lurk]

[shadow-shot.livejournal.com]

[Hi, lurker.]

Hello?

[lamb_of_gold]

Hello.

[shadow-shot.livejournal.com]

Uh - you new here, too?

[...Go awkwardness go.]

[lamb_of_gold]

Not really.

If you want to go home, think about it.

[Have a frog!knight.]

Worry not, miss; you're in no danger.

[ooc: ... At least. I think he can tell. I HAVE TO ASK NOW.]

[shadow-shot.livejournal.com]

['Sup, frog!knight.]

So I've gathered. It's pretty strange, but so far it doesn't seem dangerous. Just...a little out there. Never thought a place like this existed anywhere.

[herosmedal.livejournal.com]

In a way, it doesn't. I'm not quite sure of the full extent of the ramifications myself, but we appear to be at the Twins' mercy in some respects.

[It's interesting that she isn't cringing or screaming. And comforting.]

[ooc: Well, he's met Lucca AND Marle by now, so I think he can tell... There's a girl around here who masquerades as a boy and I totally forgot when I tagged her once, so. Thought it'd be good to ask.

Also, EEEEEEE HELLO? ♥ ]

[shadow-shot.livejournal.com]

That part doesn't sound all that good, though. If they were able to do this - dragging folks onto the Astral Plane, then who knows what else they could do?

[There are beast-people on her world. A frog-person is not that far off, as far as she's concerned.]

[herosmedal.livejournal.com]

[gravely] I have already seen some of the effects... Quite a few visitors changed appearances, somehow, and it was only effective here on the Plane. I was among them.
