[Two teenage delinquents appear on the Plane. The tallest one stands out quite a bit due to his crazy red hair and an equally crazy coat that could pass for punk. The shorter one looks slightly more tame, though his blond hair is quite spiky.]

I don't know how he got the recipe, but you have to... [Axel stops and looks around.] ... I didn't do it.

[Roxas also pauses in his "listening" and looks around. Then he gives Axel a skeptical look.] You sure about that? Looks like just your kind of place.

Don't get me wrong, I love the night life... but this isn't where we were going, Roxas. And we didn't walk through any portals.

Yeah... Actually, it kind of reminds me of someplace I've been before, too. I thought that was just a dream...?

[That earns Roxas a slightly questioning look, then it's gone and the normal goofball Axel is back in place-- at least for the moment.] Why don't we find out? Hellooo~~~! Is anyone there?

Are there?

[lamb_of_gold]

[He nods] I don't know how many, though.

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

Huh... It doesn't look like the kind of place where lots of people would be.

[lamb_of_gold]

Not all at once - people come and go, but if you stay and watch, there will be a lot of different people in and out.

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

Why? I mean... what's here?

[lamb_of_gold]

I don't know. This is the Astral Plane.

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

The Astral Plane...

[lamb_of_gold]

[He nods] If you want to go home, you only have to think about it.

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

Just think about? Like...

[Vwoomp!




Vwoomp?]

... oh. Okay. Got it.

[lamb_of_gold]

[A small smile] Just like that.

Time doesn't pass while you're here, so nobody will notice you've been gone.

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

Nobody, huh...? Guess I won't have to worry about explaining where Axel and me went to Donald and Goofy, then.

[lamb_of_gold]

Friends of yours?

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

Ah, yeah. Really good friends.

[lamb_of_gold]

[a sad look races across his face before he settles on his neutral look again] Keep them close.

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

Of course... [He looks almost chagrined, though. Did something happen to this guy's friends...?]

[lamb_of_gold]

[More like he doesn't have any]

I'm Mu.

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

I'm Roxas. [And he smiles. It's small, but genuine.]

[lamb_of_gold]

[Mu mirrors this, his smile sneaking back up.]

Good to meet you, Roxas.

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

[His smile grows just a bit.]

Good to meet you, too, Mu.

[lamb_of_gold]

[Unfortunately, someone is completely unused to prolonged social interactions, especially not with someone so similar to him in age....

SO INSERT AN AWKWARD SILENCE HERE]

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

So... is there anything else you can tell me about this place?

[lamb_of_gold]

You can't bring people, but things and buildings can come. [He gestures to things like the bar and the kitchen and whatnot] All the food restocks itself, too.

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

It does!? [that is really very cool kthx]

[lamb_of_gold]

[Nods] You can't control what it stocks with, though.

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

... aw, man.
