001 - ｷﾀ━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━!!!

[As Box’s feet hit the ground, he freezes and looks around confused. His lips slowly part as his eyes are checking the strange place he has just arrived at.]

Hey, uh, excuse me? [Hesitantly takes a few more steps, and pulls off his cap.] Meredith-san? Wow... [Alright he can look at the place now, because he couldn’t really do that the first time.] This is so neat, how did they make this? Some kind of laser or 3D technique? It’s fascinating it can be seen without the glasses, I mean not that I haven’t seen something like that already at the Sony’s presenting room, but still. It feels so real. [Kneels down to pat the floor with his gloved hands, because it’s fascinating, but spots something as he looks around.]

Information? Oh, I’m kinda in need of that! [Grins happily as he skips to the kiosk and takes a brochure. His expression turns more confused.] Eh, Astral Plane...? Multiple universes, what...?

[Box takes a moment to proceed, but then he gasps out loud.]

Live roleplay?!

Comments

[lamb_of_gold]

Live what?

[oliverplus]

[confused] Roleplay? Uh...no, this is real.

[boxtheotaku.livejournal.com]

Roleplay. [Box mutters as he is still reading the brochure, then finally looks over at Mu and freezes.] Oh my G-- Oh, whoah, that-- uh-- wow...! That's some neat cosplay there!

[lamb_of_gold]

...What is cosplay?

[boxtheotaku.livejournal.com]

Haa? [Blinks at Oliver.] I know it's real, sure! [Nods nods, grinning and pockets the brochure.] Is this a café too? Because it looks great, I mean the stuff around here is amazing! Too amazing, so maybe it's a testing of a new game?

[oliverplus]

A what? [raises an eyebrow at him] Uh...I'm not sure you get what's happened. You're on the Astral Plane now. It's not a game.

[boxtheotaku.livejournal.com]

[Box blinks confused for a moment.] Oh, oooh in character too, so you are in character? Right? [Looks around.] So is this some Saint Seiya... but no I can't really see any other thing resembling to that world.

Anyway, cosplay is 'costume play', and your costume is great! Can I take a picture? [And is already getting his spiffy phone to make it.]

[lamb_of_gold]

....This is not a costume, I assure you.

[boxtheotaku.livejournal.com]

[Alright Box is slightly confused now. He encountered a few rabid people, hell he was one of them even, but this was too much.] It must be a game. I mean, I know it's 'not', but hey, this told me about multiple universes. [Taps the brochure in his pocket.] Those can't be real... Obviously. [He laughs a bit nervously, trying to get affirmation from the other.]

[boxtheotaku.livejournal.com]

Eh? [Frowns. Well this was weird. Too 'IC', Box thought.] That means I... can't take a picture? Oh, you are sponsored then! Sorry. Wow, but no wonder that explains why you look amazing.

[oliverplus]

[considers his options. after all, the mind is very fragile. but Box is likely to have a very difficult time around here if he doesn't realise it's reality soon] Uh...actually they are. Chances are we're from different ones, even.

[lamb_of_gold]

I won't stop you if you'd like to, but I haven't the slightest idea what you're talking about.

[boxtheotaku.livejournal.com]

[Heavy frown here, and kind of stares at Oliver as if he had gone mad.] Nah... No way. No way... [Looking around nervously.] We might be from different continents, but not universes. That's... That's heavy.

[boxtheotaku.livejournal.com]

Uh, well... now I don't really get you either. [Tilts his head to the side. Bu takes that picture, damn he will so put it on his blog.] You know, you know it's kind of creepy that you are still in character, really. Not that it's bad. I mean... Anyway, I haven't watched Saint Seiya that much. They pimped it to me, but I thought it's old, and I was more interested in moe animes at that time and I still am, but the cosplay, wow, the cosplay is great, if there is any... [Ramble, ramble.] Ah, what- what's your name?

[lamb_of_gold]

[He only caught the end of that rambl-o-matic]

Mu.

[oliverplus]

I guess that's one way to describe the Plane...

Uh... Well, would you believe me if I told you that you can go home just by thinking about it?

[boxtheotaku.livejournal.com]

Whoah, using the character's name even. [Mutters thoughtful. Wow, if Box wouldn't be disgusted to touch he would so tug on that hair...] I'm Box! Nice to meet you, er... Mu. [Grins.] Are you new in Akiba? Why are you here? You are a player? Or is this a game, or event? Where is Meredith-san?

[lamb_of_gold]

I would not use a name that is not my own.

This is the Astral Plane, not...Akiba, nor is it a game. As to where Meredith is, I'm afraid I don't know. It's rare to see her.

[boxtheotaku.livejournal.com]

[Confused here, but when he heard that way of leaving he calms down.] Of course, and I can find the door too. [Chuckles, and walk back where he came in... only to walk through. There was no door. No door.] Er... Er... Where- where is the door? [Feels around. Still no door.] Wait, no I know it was here! [No, it's not there.] It must be here, I know, I remember! Even if it was moving it couldn't move, and it's not closed because-- [There is no wall! When Box realizes that he looks at Oliver as if he was the one stealing doors and walls, the evil door-thief!]

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

Live roleplay? Is that like cosplay?

[boxtheotaku.livejournal.com]

Wha... and why not?

Wait, wait wait wait, there must be a function of this place. I mean-- [Needs a few seconds to proceed this.] What is it if not a game?

[boxtheotaku.livejournal.com]

Yes! I mean, they play out a game in cosplay. So it's roleplay and cosplay together. I'm guessing from your set-up that it's indeed cosplay too. [Grins.]

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

Ah, I see! How wonderful. I'll have to ask Renge-kun about this when I see her.

[he pauses]

What set-up?

[oliverplus]

[can't help a laugh at that accusing look] Hey, don't look at me! I told you--you're really on the Plane.

[lamb_of_gold]

Why would I?

Perhaps if you read the brochure, you'd know.
