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.

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~

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

[usagipino]

You fell asleep? You fell asleep?

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

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

[bringme24601.livejournal.com]

[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.

[bringme24601.livejournal.com]

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

...What on Earth could this mean.

[bringme24601.livejournal.com]

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

[bringme24601.livejournal.com]

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

[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]

[exserpens.livejournal.com]

Oh stuff it. I really don't want to have to bite you.

[Ready to drop, should it become necessary]

[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]

Silence your wicked tongue!

[Here comes the cudgel!]

[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.

[coolestscythe.livejournal.com]

[...lol wut.] "Street urchin?"

Uh...I don't really have any reason to lie.

[bringme24601.livejournal.com]

No, one such as you as no reason to do any of the things you do. Yet I still have a job. Perhaps you can explain the phenomenon.

[contract_star]

[...lol wut.] Uh...excuse me?

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

Wow. You've got some serious problems.

[>:|] What the heck is that supposed to mean?

[bringme24601.livejournal.com]

Only in my wildest dreams could a China man be so dedicated as to learn the tongue of civilization and order.

[bringme24601.livejournal.com]

Yes, my problems are many, and one of them will not simply silence her wretched voice.

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Do you mean the presence of this place, or your particular presence here?

[usagipino]

How do you focus on awakening?

[bringme24601.livejournal.com]

I have already deduced what all that means. Now I am simply curious as to what recesses of my mind concocted one such as you.
