[What is this, you may ask? This, my friends, is a very special post. There is something new on the Plane which no one has brought to it. It appeared and now exists of its own will. It is a black hole!

Except, well, not really.

It is an empty hole in space, roughly the size of a soup bowl. Like a black hole, light does not fair well around it. Unlike a black hole, a gust of cold wind is blowing up from the hole.

The Twins are already aware, judging by the bright and obnoxious sign next to it. The sign reads, "Please do not drop things or each other into the hole. Thank you!" In smaller writing, it also says, "We will let you know when we figure out what it is."

As an added bonus, anyone who walks around the hole may run into an invisible something. It might sound - and feel - like you ran into an invisible block of metal, except there appears to be nothing there. Strange!]

((As for more notes! If your character uses the power of science to measure the distortion, it will have the properties of a black hole, despite the obvious oddities. If they drop an object down, it won't come back. If they are smart enough to decide that sticking their hand in will be a good idea, then aside from feeling really, really, really cold, nothing bad will happen. And the mystery metal block can't be detected at all, except by touch - it's roughly ten feet tall and three feet wide and it is a cuboid

(the cuboid that happens to also be a rectangle) (cuboids are not rectangles! A rectangle is a quadrilateral is a polygon is, by definition, two-dimensional. You can't even argue that it's composed of rectangles because it is composed of rectangles AND squares.) (maybe it's a THREE DIMENSIONAL RECTANGLE. WHAT NOW?!) (THERE IS NO SUCH THINGS. BY DEFINITION, RECTANGLES ARE TWO-DIMENSIONAL. You could, though, try embedding it, as they do with a Möbius strip here but why do that when you can just have a cuboid?) (THERE ARE NO SUCH THINGS, YOU MEAN. oh burn. And maybe I don't like cuboids. Perhaps cuboids are against my moral code. Perhaps I am trying to take back shapes once and for all. Three dimensional triangles! Three dimensional circles! Three dimensional weirdly shaped loopy things!) (OH DIE IN A FIRE, YOU HARLOT!!! I will not tolerate these hippie shenanigans in my moderator post!! Go partake of recreational drugs in a hippie commune and leave mathematics alone!! I WILL NOT PERMIT YOU TO DESTROY THE BEAUTY OF MATHEMATICS!!) (Hey you two, just agree I have nice, lovely shapes) (*touches Kisha's shapes* I WILL NEVER GIVE UP MY CRUSADE OF JUSTICE. But for now I suppose I will just touch Kisha's shapes inappropriately.)(How dare you touch her shapes? She was mine first!!) (I BELIEVE THIS SUMS UP MY FEELINGS FOR KISHA'S SHAPES. YOU CANNOT COMPETE WITH THOSE FEELINGS.) (Doesn't matter! I outrank you, so her shapes are mine. Even if your love is very impressive.) (Too late! I have already partook of her shapes. ;).) (You cannot partake of what I have already partaken.) (Except I have! And shall again. Because I say so.)

Make of this what you will! Also, feel free to use this post for mingling.))

Never an ordinary day on the Plane, is it?

[puts on his glasses]

What have we here?

[because this gibberish thing is WAY TOO MUCH FUN to pass up, Suiseiseki is checking out the hole in curiosity]

{OKAY YOU KNOW WHAT too fucking cute. So Diva is going to approach Suiseiseki since she hasn't seen her in a long time}

Ne, Suiseiseki, I haven't seen you in a long time! And over something so strange too!

[Tsukasa is now poking the invisible block of metal part with his staff after he ran into it.]

[Because she is Very Very Curious and this is a Very Curious Thing, Dorothy's gonna check it out. And walk into a big, apparently metal and very invisible, wall.]

Ow!!

[Apparently, THAT word stays the same. She rubs her now injured nose and makes a face, muttering.]

Toasted squirrels.

[... ...

Yeah, Haseo's got nothin', so she's just going to stare at it in confusion. WHAT IS IIIIIIT.]

[Because she's very helpful and doesn't want anyone ELSE walking into.... whatever it is she just walked into, especially the Doctor (who lord knows has been through enough lately), Dorothy points emphatically at where the Invisible Thing is!]

Bring the orange peel to Santa!

[...too bad she doesn't make any sense.]

[Tsukasa notices Haseo and ceases his prodding of the invisible block of metal.]

Hm?

[Haseo notices the Tsukasa. Sup. o/]

...There's a hole here. How does that even work?

[ \o ]

It looks like the hole is gone. But... not gone. [O_o]

[offhandedly, because obviously she makes sense]

Not so good. He's allergic to citrus fruits.

...

[Facepalms.] This is a really weird place.

[Have some EMPHATIC head shaking. She draws, with her fingers, a huge square in the air.]

Orange peel.

[she mimes knocking on the square, and then points again at the general vicinity of the thing she just walked into.]

Tea cakes and biscuits can't save Lincoln from the recession. Santa can't handle skydiving!

[expression: ...]

What?

[she is TOTALLY cute. but she also can't talk straight, so]

Ah, Diva~ Blueberries and rainbows bowling twists, yellow?

No kidding.

[Waitasec.] You said you're from Mac Anu, right? You're... not an NPC, though...

...I beg your pardon?

[Siiiiiiigh. She lets her head drop forward, pinching the bridge of her nose, and mutters.]

...I thought we were beyond Thunderdome...

[Suddenly determined, she looks up, and points at her throat, mimes talking. Then she shakes her head, points at her head, points at her throat, shakes her head again, emphatically attempting to suggest that what she's saying is definitely not what she's TRYING To say.]

[looks horrified that this is STILL HAPPENING oh god]

Little lilies sit on cats, yellow. [osubgosubgso] Christmas and hamburgers, yellow!

{AWWW SMASHTEXT. Diva crouches down to Suiseiseki's level}

You're not making any sense!

[it's totally deserved]

The stars bask fitfully, yellow...

{Tilts her head, making a discontent noise. But she takes one of Suiseiseki's little hands very delicately}

Ne, what's wrong?

[wibbles and touches her throat, then shrugs]

[you know what? Dorothy can have her very favourite Time Lord ever]

What a peculiar curse.

{She considers it for a moment, then holds a finger up as if to say 'one moment'. Diva drops off the Plane, returning with a box of crayons and a big pad of paper}

This isn't the first time I've suggested this! I think...You said you're German, right? If you write in German, I can read it.
