1st Soul

[Onto the Plane steps a rather odd-looking boy. He has spiky white hair and red eyes, and a mouthful of shark-like teeth can be seen the instant he opens his mouth to talk.]

--never mind that it's completely pointless...

[He trails off when he sees where he is and his eyes widen.]

What the--no way. How could a witch have gotten into Shibusen? Maka--!

[He whirls around, looking all over for someone who isn't there. When he sees Maka isn't around an expression of real fear flashes across his face, there and then gone.]

Maka? Maka? Where did you go? Hey, Maka, this is no time to run off!

Dammit, if the witch got her...

So they must get paid pretty well to compensate.

Where's the witch, or am I gonna have to go through you first?

[mercwamouth]

Witch... I assume you're not talkin' about Willow?

...This your first time here?

[coolestscythe.livejournal.com]

First time where? What, did she teleport us? Shit...

[mercwamouth]

Us? Look around, kid. You're here by yourself.

[coolestscythe.livejournal.com]

[The full weight of this situation is finally settling on him, but hell if he's going to show any fear.]

If you and that witch have hurt her, I'll kill you.

[mercwamouth]

You keep talking about a witch. There ain't no witch and I have no idea who you're talking about.

[Stares at him for awhile. It's gotta be a lie or a trap of some kind.]

If it's not, then what the hell is going on?

[mercwamouth]

You remember a couple twins? A shop maybe?

[coolestscythe.livejournal.com]

...Yeah. There's always weird shops in Death City, but that one was really weird. What about it?

[mercwamouth]

Those Twins screwed with you. Now you can come here whenever you want for some reason. This is the Astral Plane. While you're here, everything in your reality stays frozen in time, so don't worry about whoever it is you're worried about. She's fine.

[coolestscythe.livejournal.com]

That's impossible.

[mercwamouth]

Right, but witches and teleporting, hey, that's perfectly reasonable.

[coolestscythe.livejournal.com]

Why wouldn't it be?

So what the hell. I've fallen into another dimension? This is real life, not some stupid comic book.

[mercwamouth]

Hey, I'm the one with the meta-jokes. You back off my material, kid.

[coolestscythe.livejournal.com]

...What?

[mercwamouth]

If you don't believe me, go back to your reality. You'll see things are just the way you left them.

[coolestscythe.livejournal.com]

[Silent for awhile, watching him like someone would watch a dangerous dog.]

How do I go back?

[mercwamouth]

Think about it.

[coolestscythe.livejournal.com]

[For a second Soul misinterprets and opens his mouth to bitch some more, but then he blinks. A moment later, he drops from the Plane. He reappears a few minutes later.]

But that was...how? This shouldn't be possible...

[mercwamouth]

And why not?

[coolestscythe.livejournal.com]

Because other worlds don't exist.

[mercwamouth]

Says you.

[coolestscythe.livejournal.com]

Says everyone. Shinigami-sama would have told us. [Right?]

[mercwamouth]

So either you're crazy or everyone else is wrong.

[coolestscythe.livejournal.com]

[He frowns a little. The craziness is quite possible, but would the Little Demon really have enough power to make a world like this? He can barely make a proper little room, after all.]
