[now arriving on the Plane is a nicely dressed ginger-haired woman who takes one look at where she is, gasps, and screws her eyes shut]

Oh. My. God. I'm in the middle of outer space! Again! [but something in the back of her mind tells her to stop being so ridiculous; if she really is, she'd be dead by now and she certainly doesn't feel dead, and besides, didn't see meet someone in a place like it not too long ago?] Ohhh, when I get my hands on that woman and those creepy Wonder Twins...

[and speaking of hands, she feels around for a chair she swears she saw when her eyes were open and--ah ha! she finds it and quickly has a seat, her hands holding the edge of the seat tight.] All right. [takes a breath] Let's think about this. There's no way this is really outer space. It just can't. [she takes a peek out of one eye then slowly opens the other. slowly:] Okay...that's better. I think.

[louder now because she needs to focus on something else for the time being before she goes mad. or becomes ill. whichever comes first.] Right! I want some answers and not from that cow. Come on, there's got to be somebody sane around here!

Oh, you can go home, huh? Please tell me I don't have to go to that shop again.

[oliverplus]

Oh, no! Actually, I don't know how to get back there...

But you just have to think about home, and poof! You'll be back where you were before you came here. You do the same thing to get back here--anytime, anywhere. Just think about it.

[she bets if she shouts loud enough, someone from there will come round eventually...]

It's that simple?

[oliverplus]

[well, her shouts do tend to have that sort of amazing properties]

Yep. I could prove it, if you want.

[forever-noble.livejournal.com]

Sure! I'd like to see it.

[oliverplus]

Okay then! [closes his eyes--he's still a bit new at this--and disappears! aaaand a few seconds later, he's back. carrying a glass of water, in fact] You look like you could use this. [offers it to her. the cup is actually glastic, but it looks normal enough]

[forever-noble.livejournal.com]

[she gladly takes it and doesn't notice what the cup's made of while she drinks half of it down] Thanks for that, Oliver. That helped like you wouldn't believe!

[oliverplus]

[grins] Thought it might! [frowns, considering] You think you'd feel better if we went somewhere else? Somewhere indoors?

[forever-noble.livejournal.com]

[without a second's hesitation:] Yes. Definitely!

[she stands] Right. Lead on, Ollie boy!

[oliverplus]

[makes a face] I met you five minutes ago, and I've already got a nickname?

All right. Uh...where do you want to go?

[forever-noble.livejournal.com]

[oh Ollie, she has nicknames for everyone.] Yeah, is there a problem with it?

[oliverplus]

[but his old girlfriend used to call him that! nobody's allowed to use it] Nah. Must be 'cause you're from Chiswick.

[forever-noble.livejournal.com]

Oi, you watch it, Brummie boy.

[oliverplus]

[laughs--now that's more like it] Sure, sure. I get it--I keep a lid on the nicknames, and use whatever you want.

So where do you want to go, anyway? Uh...there's the kitchen, the bar, the theatre...there's a ballroom, but that's a bit useless...

[forever-noble.livejournal.com]

[she gives him a little playful nudge with her hand]

Wait, how's the ballroom useless?

[oliverplus]

[grins back at her]

Uh...windows, for one. And it's not exactly meant for sitting around talking.

[forever-noble.livejournal.com]

...Windows. What about them? They haven't got any drapes or something?

[oliverplus]

[thinks about that] Well...I guess they must. I only kinda stuck my head in once, so I'm not sure exactly what it's like.

Why, wanting to go there?

[forever-noble.livejournal.com]

Yeah sure, why not? Besides, there must be tables and chairs. It is a ballroom. Dancers have to sit some time and give their feet a rest.

[oliverplus]

All right, if that's what you wanna see! Come on, it's... [pauses, looking around] ...over that way. Somewhere. I think. [offers her a hand]

[forever-noble.livejournal.com]

[she takes it!] Well what are we waiting for? [starts off in the direction he indicated]

[oliverplus]

Nothing I can think of! [keeps pace with her, looking around to make sure he's going the right way] I don't think it's far. Are you feeling okay? [glances at her]

[forever-noble.livejournal.com]

Sort of, I think. If I look straight ahead at that place right there--[she points ahead]--I'm all right.

[oliverplus]

Keep doing that, then. [lifts his arm a bit, ready to steady her if she looks like she needs it] Oh, there we go! It's just over there. [points slightly to the left]

[forever-noble.livejournal.com]

[aaaand she starts going slightly to the left and soon enough, they arrive!]

Oh, wow! Would you get a look at this place?!
