[ooc: delayed intro is delayed! RL kind of blindsided me, but I should be good to go, now. Thanks for being patient with me :|b]


[It's probably a hallucination; that's the only explanation Zack can come up with as he looks around at his new surroundings. It's not the lab, or the transparent green of a mako pod, or even the forest outside of town. Instead he sees... space.]

...What the hell?

[Nice and coherent, there. But since when did this happen? He can sort of remember a dream, but dreams have never been reality. And what about-]

Cloud? Cloud, where are you? Cloud! [...Nothing.] Is this some kind of joke? Hey! This isn't funny...!

[Aaaand he's walking. Through space.

...So weird.]

If the fellow you're looking for is blond, he should be around.

[wingenvy]

What, really? [Oh thank god.] Do you know where I can find him? ...And what's going on?

[lamb_of_gold]

I've only seen him once, though recently, so I do not know if he frequents certain places. He seemed quite intent on leaving, however.

This is the Astral Plane.

[buckingbronco.livejournal.com]

It's not really a joke, although I suppose some people find this place funny.

[wingenvy]

What, really? I mean, I guess it's pretty weird, but... I don't think getting kidnapped is all that funny.

[buckingbronco.livejournal.com]

You're not really kidnapped either. You can go home just by thinking about it.

[oliverplus]

No joke--just the Astral Plane!

[blinks] Did you say you're looking for Cloud?

[wingenvy]

Astral Plane, huh... weird.

So- wait, you know Cloud?

[oliverplus]

Yeah! Well, I met him once, when he first got here. He didn't sound very keen on coming back, so he's probably not around...

I'm Oliver, by the way! [grins] Welcome to the Plane.

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

[WHAT IS HE DOING HERE. Shit. He must've thought about this place. AND AFTER TRYING SO HARD NOT TO.

Okay, off to find somewhere quiet to concentrate on getting the hell away from here.]

[wingenvy]

[Welcome back, Cloud! Have a very confused SOLDIER coming your way.

...

Actually, he's coming your way awfully fast. With a big grin on his face.

CHAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGEEE--]

[Sebastian is walking with a walking stick, and may indeed be among the less helpful people to meet on arrival. On the plus side, he is holding an orange, which one imagines is generally a redeeming quality. Somehow, he has managed to tuck a large stuffed teddy bear under one arm, carrying him around despite his full hands.]

It seems odd to me to be looking for clouds in space. If one were in Heaven, I imagine it would be far less of a problem, as of course Heaven is the proper place for Clouds. Or perhaps clouds are the proper place for Heaven. It has been so long since I have had Château d'Yquem that I think I shall begin to feel robbed of celestial delight. [Sebastian offers a smile to Zack, because Zack is a person and Sebastian likes people and it seems right to smile at people you have only just met.] How do you do?

[wingenvy]

[...That is one fully-stocked dude. Zack takes a moment to size him up, blinking, then lifts a hand to wave. People are friendly in this place! That's pretty cool.]

Hey- I'm Zack. Nice to meet you. And actually, I'm looking for a guy- his name is Cloud.

[theguv.livejournal.com]

Last I checked, there weren't any damn clouds here.

[wingenvy]

Not clouds- I'm looking for a friend of mine! It's his name.

[there is a Doll. a tiny, two-foot-tall Doll. just ... watching you. because it's what she does with new people. 'sup]

[wingenvy]

[....O... kay. Hi. That's slightly creepy, so he'll just... keep walking...]

[theoldmagick.livejournal.com]

[aaaand for good measure, a troll dragon]

Is there any particular reason you're searching for clouds, boy?

[wingenvy]

[Any response he might have offered is slightly delayed due to the fact that OH MY GOD A FREAKING DRAGON IS TALKING TO ME.]

[newworldlover.livejournal.com]

[There's a woman with a British accent and BRIGHT PURPLE HAIR AND EYES watching you. WATCHING YOUUUUUU.]

It's not a trick, don't worry.

[wingenvy]

[DON'T STARE I'LL GET A COMPLEX]

Seems kinda tricky to me. It's space!

[royallybitching.livejournal.com]

There aren't clouds here. It's space. [Duh.] Unless you mean space clouds, I guess.

[wingenvy]

[.....Huh.] Space clouds would look pretty cool, I bet!

[bit_impossible]

Haven't seen the brochures yet, have you? [then again, he hasn't seen the new version of them yet, so this could get interesting]

[wingenvy]

Brochures? What brochures?
