[ It would seem there's a newcomer on the astral plane: a tall, rough-looking woman with an strange sword clutched in her left hand. Her posture is tense and rigid, and, if your eyes happen to meet hers by mistake, some paranoia is visible in her gaze. Still, other than that... She actually seems rather curious about her surroundings, looking over everything in her line of sight with the utmost care. ]

[ Eventually, she closes her eyes and shakes her head, letting out a quiet sigh that turns into a thin chuckle at the end. Swallowing hard, she finds herself murmuring under her breath to no one in particular. ]

...Damn. Guess I didn't go crazy after all.

[ What might have been a momentary expression of relief is quickly hidden away again. In its place, she sets her jaw and squares her shoulders, taking on a look of determination. ]

[ Determination to get drunk. ]

I'm too sober for this.

The bar is that way, if you're looking to remedy that.

[dragoninstalled.livejournal.com]

Glad to hear it.

[ A pause, then-- ]

They take world dollars there?

[lamb_of_gold]

Nothing here has need for money.

[dragoninstalled.livejournal.com]

Huh. Well, works for me.

[lamb_of_gold]

It's contents refill at random, however. There's no guarantee you'll find something you at all like.

[dragoninstalled.livejournal.com]

There's always some catch, huh?

[lamb_of_gold]

Think of it as an opportunity to find something new.

[dragoninstalled.livejournal.com]

[ She actually seems a bit amused by that response. ] How optimistic.

I'm not particular, anyway.

[lamb_of_gold]

I sometimes am.

Welcome to the Astral Plane.

[dragoninstalled.livejournal.com]

Yeah, thanks.

[shadow-shot.livejournal.com]

Drinking won't make this go away, unfortunately.

[dragoninstalled.livejournal.com]

Doesn't mean it won't help.

[shadow-shot.livejournal.com]

Probably got a point.

Did anyone tell you about this place yet?

[dragoninstalled.livejournal.com]

Not exactly. You got more to say than that woman who greeted me last time?

[shadow-shot.livejournal.com]

Depends on what the other person told ya. I'm not an expert on the Plane, but I've been able to access it for a while... Well, first off, this place's called the Astral Plane, don't ask me why, you're not stuck here, you can think your way back between wherever you're from and here, and time doesn't pass back home while you're here. Again, I dunno why. That's just how things are. [Shrugs.]

[dragoninstalled.livejournal.com]

There any reason why we're here?

[shadow-shot.livejournal.com]

Damned if I know...except for the whole "go into weird store, gain access" thing, that is. But that's the how, not the why, I'd think.

[dragoninstalled.livejournal.com]

Tch. You're not much help, then.

[shadow-shot.livejournal.com]

[Oh, ouch, her poor ego. ... Except not really.]

I'm not the damn welcoming committee.

[dragoninstalled.livejournal.com]

[ Sol is not impressed. ]

You offered to talk. Not my fault if your talk is useless.

[shadow-shot.livejournal.com]

[Haseo is also not impressed.]

Fine then. Maybe someone who does have useful info will come along, who knows.

[On that note, gonna go wander off. o/]

[dragoninstalled.livejournal.com]

...Right. [ "Tch. Dumb kid." ]

[ And Sol's gonna let her go. :Db ]
