first keyhole;

[gotowardslight.livejournal.com]

[There appears to be a newbie stepping onto the plane today. It's a teenage boy carrying a large key at his side. As he steps onto the plane he takes a look around, looking quite puzzled.

The snow really doesn't help ease his confusion, either.]

Okay, what gives? This sure doesn't look like any store I've seen before.

[He dismisses the Keyblade for now and continues to survey the area. Snow... and space? Definitely not Hollow Bastion. Well, there goes his plans to help with the clean up. Le sigh.]

Wonder what this place is anyway...

[Well, it's strange, but he might as well take a look. So off he goes~ Feel free to pester the snarky Keybearer.]

[ He totally saw that weapon even through the fog, mister. :| ]

... a Keyblade?

(ooc: Psst, don't worry about the tag. ♥ The mods have to make it, anyway.)

[gotowardslight.livejournal.com]

[And he knows that voice from his brief encounter with XIII. He stops in place, turning towards Roxas with s slightly wary expression, responding to his question with another question.]

You again?

[ooc: Alrighty! I just wasn't sure is all. XD]

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

Excuse me?

(ooc: No worries, it is kinda confusing.)

[gotowardslight.livejournal.com]

You're that kid who was attacking Hollow Bastion.

[He still looks a bit suspicious. After all, the Replica called him...]

...Sora.

[Mu's wandering by, actually wearing his Cloth for once]

This is the Astral Plane.

[gotowardslight.livejournal.com]

Astral Plane, huh?

[He looks back at Mu, a lil' perplexed. That sounds...vaguely familiar.]

Can't say I've ever heard of it before, and I've been to plenty of worlds.

[lamb_of_gold]

Few have. The Astral Plane exists outside of reality.

[gotowardslight.livejournal.com]

Outside of reality...

[But then again, snow in space doesn't make much more sense.]

How does that even work?

[smolderingdark.livejournal.com]

[Aahhh, shit. The icons lie, by the way-- Axel's wearing his weird checkered coat thing, not his fake Org outfit.]

What the-- you followed me here!?

[Summoning his chakrams now.]

And you stole a keyblade, too. What a guy.

[gotowardslight.livejournal.com]

... What?

[Hello, strange red-haired man. Riku looks absolutely confused. He gets into a defensive position, just in case.]

I didn't steal the Keyblade. Pretty sure that's impossible.

[smolderingdark.livejournal.com]

Dunno, I've seen some weird stuff. And after what your kind pulled—

... Wait. Where's your cloak?

[gotowardslight.livejournal.com]

My kind? Great, don't tell me you think I'm that copy.

[... Cloak. Maybe he does think that.]

I don't have a cloak. Never have.

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

[...That was a large and strange looking key. But it's like that's the strangest thing he's ever seen.] This is the Astral Plane.

[gotowardslight.livejournal.com]

[It would've been stranger if he used one of his Keychains! But either way, Riku looks back at him.]

That's what I've heard. It's still a lot to think about.

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

You'll get used to it eventually. This place can be really interesting.

[gotowardslight.livejournal.com]

I heard something about rings... What else is there?

[virginaesthetic.livejournal.com]

[Haruhi was wandering by when she noticed the somewhat confused boy. Thus this is a job for a Host!] Do you need some help?

[gotowardslight.livejournal.com]

People have already filled me in, so probably not. At least, unless there's more to it than some 'plane outside of reality'.

[virginaesthetic.livejournal.com]

I don't know much more. I guess it's an experiment but that seems vague. Nothing has really happened aside from the snow...Ah and the hot springs when we arrived.

[breathenothing.livejournal.com]

[Hi! In Naminé's deviance, you haven't kidnapped her yet. She has no idea who you are! But, you're carrying a recognizable weapon, so she's interested.]

Oh! Is that... a keyblade?

[gotowardslight.livejournal.com]

[That's okay. Riku hasn't even heard of his world's Namine yet.]

Sure is.

[breathenothing.livejournal.com]

But, I thought...

[Now, she looks puzzled. She's seen stranger on the Plane, though - been through stranger, too - so she writes it off and offers the stranger a small smile.]

Sorry. In my world, only one person can use the keyblade. It just seemed strange to me to see someone else with it.

[oliverplus]

[spots the boy in the snow looking confused and calls out to him, heading over his way, waving with a gloved hand] Hey, are you new here?

[gotowardslight.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I am.

[Hello, stranger.]

[oliverplus]

Well, don't worry; it's just the Astral Plane. It's easy to get home from here. And I might be able to help you out if you need it? I'm still rather new myself, but I've been here for a bit.

Oh, I'm Oliver, by the way! [comes up to him then, giving him a friendly grin]
