001 - Allons enfants de la Patrie

[bringme24601.livejournal.com]

[Javert appears on the Plane, wearing his typical hat and frock coat, looking reasonably perplexed.]

Have I... fallen asleep while on patrol?

[The thought of doing such a thing immediately brings about shame.]

NO! This is unacceptable. I must awaken at once and resume my duties.

[He closes his eyes for a few seconds, concentrating calmly. If he were focused on returning to his reality, he might have just done it, but all he was focusing on was waking up, and he is not asleep. He reopens his eyes, expressing great frustration at the fact that he remains.]

Damn! Why can I not wake up?!

[He nearly loses himself and throws his hat on the ground, but stops himself and ponders.]

I must have been accosted. I must have been knocked over the head by some criminal and I must be unconscious. Trapped within my own mind.

[He places his hat back on his head and a focused calm overcomes his demeanor as he brandishes his cudgel]

I must have let my guard down for a moment, but I will find the one responsible and he shall be brought to justice for this... inconvenience.

[Wow, that was a special reaction. And Hei will be standing out of reach of your freaking CLOBBERING STICK, Javert.]

It's not a dream, actually. Or anything of the sort. I know it's hard to believe, but it's real.

[He gives a look halfway between disgusted and bewildered, which then turns into a light smirk.]

An orient speaking French? Now I know I must be dreaming.

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

You should be pleased to know that you are not injured, nor unconscious! You need not worry about the state of your patrol, either. Welcome to the Astral Plane, young one~

[bringme24601.livejournal.com]

[This is easily the strangest thing Javert has ever seen.]

...What on Earth could this mean.

[Somewhat wearily, as if he doesn't want to admit it himself,] Not a dream, actually. And not a witch either.

[bringme24601.livejournal.com]

And why might I trust the word of a street urchin such as yourself?

[usagipino]

You fell asleep? You fell asleep?

[bringme24601.livejournal.com]

Yes. Now be gone. I must focus on awakening.

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

Jeez, relax, man. It's not a dream, alright?

[bringme24601.livejournal.com]

I am not allowed to relax, even while unconscious. I am abandoning my duties. I cannot abide by permitting this for any longer than is within my control.

Though I suppose it is not something you would understand.

Oh bloody Hell.

[bringme24601.livejournal.com]

[What? A snake!]

Foul beast!

[He raises his cudgel above his head]

[shadow-shot.livejournal.com]

[What an...interesting reaction.]

This isn't a dream, though I don't blame ya for thinkin' it is.

[bringme24601.livejournal.com]

And what manner of dress is that? I've never even begun to conceive of such a thing and yet you insist I am not dreaming? How foolish.

[whitestlotus.livejournal.com]

You must have pretty strange dreams if that's what you think this is.

[bringme24601.livejournal.com]

I assume it is a result of brain damage. My dreams are not usually this... unruly.

[buckingbronco.livejournal.com]

It's not a dream, and you haven't been attacked.

[bringme24601.livejournal.com]

I am most certain that you are wrong, monsieur, but if you were somehow correct, then you should know better than to speak to an officer of the law so disrespectfully.

[madamemoiselle]

Ne, another person who loves justice? My, it seems like there are quite a few people like that here, now~

[bringme24601.livejournal.com]

Justice is not something I love, mademoiselle. It is a fundamental law of society. It needs to be upheld or all is simply lost into chaos.

And I would appreciate it if you would refer to me as Inspector Javert or Monsieur Inspector, mademoiselle. A lady such as yourself mustn't forget her manners.

[humanwaterdemon.livejournal.com]

[Watching with fascination] What if a her is responsible?

[bringme24601.livejournal.com]

I find that unlikely, but I suppose I should not rule out the possibility.

[Alice only caught the tail end of Javert's arrival, but being the good little girl that she is, of course she must greet him!]

How curious, to see someone so much older than myself throwing about in a tantrum! Mother becomes ever so cross when I throw one, but I haven't the slightest idea how she would feel if Father did. Why, I expect she would be positively speechless-! Of course, I doubt very much that Father would ever do such a thing, but I rather like the idea any-way.

[bringme24601.livejournal.com]

Bite your tongue, child. You forget your manners.

[smolderingdark.livejournal.com]

You can't wake up 'cause you're not dreaming. Although it kind of looks like it, doesn't it?

Too bad~

All of this is real, so I suggest you refrain from attacking random people. Some of them have magic powers. And some of them have a tendency to act out.

[bringme24601.livejournal.com]

Do not presume that you may speak to me so freely, gypsy. I know your kind well.

[house-1-god-0.livejournal.com]

Because you're not asleep. Makes it kind of hard to wake up for some reason.

[bringme24601.livejournal.com]

I know I'm not asleep. It would be unforgivable for me to be asleep. I am simply unconscious.

[lamb_of_gold]

[Late to the party AGAIN]

Not a dream, unfortunately.

[bringme24601.livejournal.com]

You're right.

It's a nightmare.
