♞ first step ♘

[polarization]

[ So, standing near some of the outdoor baths, up against one of the paper-thin dividing walls, is a very, very confused teenager. He seems to be in something of quiet shock while taking in the drastically different surroundings than where he was only twenty minutes ago. On his hand is a ring, but he doesn't seem to have noticed it yet. ]

Hello...? Is anyone around? Where am I?

(ooc: Please be aware that touching him in anything much more than a tap will trigger his power to attract, and your character will like him more than the usual newbies/strangers. If that's okay with you, go ahead and do whatever.)

Hot springs, apparently.

[have a Martha, still in her lab coat though with her , and looking really put-out by the situation]

[ He looks over, then looks back to the rest of the area. ]

But—how?

[imnot-hisgirl.livejournal.com]

Don't know yet. But it looks like almost everyone who went to the Plane before's been brought here.

Almost everyone.

[tight smile] I'm Martha, by the way. Martha Jones.

[polarization]

[ He looks over once again, nodding a bit at her name, but seems to focus on the more important matter. ] The Plane?

[imnot-hisgirl.livejournal.com]

[concern] You've never been to the Plane before?

[Axel lounges nearby wearing a fancy dragon-printed yukata. He looks up as Sefton appears.]

Welcome to the most exotic vacation spot ever.

[polarization]

[ ... nice hair. ]

Vacation spots?

[smolderingdark.livejournal.com]

[Thanks~]

We all sorta got kidnapped here a few days ago. Normally we're allowed to come and go from the Plane as we please, but the Twins had other ideas.

[polarization]

What? [ Weird name for a vacation spot... ]

[smolderingdark.livejournal.com]

The Astral Plane.

I take it you're new.

[Sefton needs more Marthas in his life]

Did you just get here?

[polarization]

[ Yes. Yes, he does. Sefton gives her something of a blank/confused look. ]

... yeah?

[taughtmedicine.livejournal.com]

I thought everyone came in at the same time. Oh, hey, you have a different colour purple! I still haven't figured out exactly what these are supposed to mean. Did help me fend off some pervert in the baths, though. I'm Martha. Nice to meet you.

[polarization]

[ Whoa, chatterbox. He tries to take each piece of that sentence and make sense of them separately, but he's pretty sure he's missing something. ]

What?

[taughtmedicine.livejournal.com]

[oh she'll show you chatterbox if you give her a chance]

[but then she pauses and frowns]

Did you just get here, to the hot springs, or did you just get here to the Plane?

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

This is a hot spring.

[polarization]

Oh.

[ Is that all? ]

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

We're not really sure why we're here though.

[polarization]

[ He glances around the area, and his shoulder slump just a bit. ]

How do I leave?

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

..Right now you can't. They won't let us leave for some reason. I've already tried.

[silenteden.livejournal.com]

Did you just wake up or something? [He grins a little.] The place has been turned into a hot spring.

[polarization]

Turned into...?

[silenteden.livejournal.com]

Yep. It's still the Astral Plane, it just looks a little different right now.

[Kuhn has yet to realize that the reason he's never seen this kid before is because the kid is new to the Plane as a whole. Give it a few hours minutes...]

[polarization]

... Astral Plane?

[silenteden.livejournal.com]

[.....Oh hey, that was quick.]

Ahhh, you're new here entirely, I take it?
