[A young man stumbles onto the Plane and freezes. He seems to be in awe. His eyes are wide as he looks around and he is still as he adjusts to the strangeness. He's dressed in a rather medieval peasant way or at least what the BBC thinks medieval peasants look like.

But after the initial moment of fear and surprise, after a pause, Merlin smiles brightly.] Oh, this is...this is beautiful. I mean, really...really beautiful. I've never seen anything like it... [His voice becomes softer.] It feels like magic. Definitely looks it.

[Then he clears his throat and calls out.] Hello? Is anyone here? Uhm... Whoever did this, you can come out. I'm not going to hurt you. I just want to talk, promise. [After a beat.] Please? Look, just...if you need me, we'll talk, yeah? Whatever it is. You've got me now, so why not come out?

[He waits! Unsure of really what is happening but distracted by the shiny stars.]

[amused] That's a surprisingly peaceful response to being abducted.

[Merlin turns towards Braxiatel.] I suppose so? It's not exactly going to get me anywhere to shout at them. I might as well see what they want. Are you part of them?

[collector]

No, no, not at all. I'm like you; I'm here under their... request. It isn't exactly duress, given the freedoms allowed. And I wouldn't say it's necessarily magic.

Irving Braxiatel, by the way. How do you do?

[Oh look. Someone wearing a slightly oversized pink sweater and skirt and hiking boots happens to be wandering by. She tilts her head at him, and offers a] Wherever they are.

[Merlin is a bit confused by her appearance but decides not to say anything about that.] I'm sorry? Where are they?

[bytwo.livejournal.com]

[Hush. She is very fashionable.]

Didn't say I knew.

[heartscastaside.livejournal.com]

Does it now? Looks can be deceiving though, can they not? There is only residual magic here, boy.

[behindhiswords.livejournal.com]

[He's a little cautious and yet trusting, because you look like a druid! Damn conflicting feelings.] Is there? I guess I wouldn't know. But you...can tell that sort of thing?

[heartscastaside.livejournal.com]

Of course. I am a magus by nature and trade. It is in my blood to be able to tell such simple things.

[charmandsmiles.livejournal.com]

[hello, Merlin, have a Doctor!] Nope, not magic! Just a fair bit of advanced technology, far as I can tell. Not that I'm much of an expert when it comes to magic, mind you -- that's more my companion's area of expertise.

[behindhiswords.livejournal.com]

Oh, uh, right. Me neither. Just a a guess, really. But it doesn't seem like anything science could do either.

[charmandsmiles.livejournal.com]

[amused] Science can do lots of things that look like magic. Didn't even believe in magic at all 'til I met Dorothy, and she taught me a few things. [a pause] I'm the Doctor, by the way, nice to meet you!

[le-traitre.livejournal.com]

{look more magic}

You will find that the ones that "have you," as you say, are unlikely to come meet you.

[behindhiswords.livejournal.com]

That seems a bit rude. If they're going to come get me, they could at least say why.

[le-traitre.livejournal.com]

Perhaps. But it is of little consequence whether they greet you or not. I imagine they would be unable or unwilling to offer anything insightful.

[flawless-genius.livejournal.com]

[Have Firesong, dressed in robes that are even more elaborate than usual ,with his firebird cradled in his arms.] It has to be some sort of magic, but it is a type that I am not familiar with. At least it doesn't appear to be harmful, only confusing.

[behindhiswords.livejournal.com]

[Merlin can't help being surprised to see something so magical in the open.] Yeah...I...yeah, I don't know it, either. You look pretty magical yourself.

[lamb_of_gold]

I always find it refreshing when one doesn't completely lose their wits upon arrival.

[behindhiswords.livejournal.com]

I guess you get a lot of those? I can't exactly blame them, it just doesn't seem like something will change by fussing about it.

[shewalks-away.livejournal.com]

Sorta easy to get all caught up in it, like. Bet you're right though, if there were stuff like magic out there, it'd have to be something like this, yeah?

[behindhiswords.livejournal.com]

I think so. I mean, I've seen some magic. Just...stuff, you know? So it's probably like this.

[bodilesswarrior.livejournal.com]

[observes him a moment before approaching, her smile friendly and amused] You're one of the friendliest abductee I've ever seen.

[behindhiswords.livejournal.com]

[The wheelchair surprises him but he tries not to stare or seem surprised. It's like crutches! On wheels!] Thanks, I think. I mean, the friendliest bit is nice! Just that last part is sort of worrying.

[oncemarauder.livejournal.com]

[happens to be strolling about, wand hanging loosely from his hand]

It's no magic I've ever seen, but that doesn't mean much, when it has access to so many worlds.

[behindhiswords.livejournal.com]

[Remus just looks magicy and his talk confirms it. Merlin is still a bit cautious.]

Yeah, I get that feeling. But you know magic. It sounds so...normal.
