What's all this then? It's pretty unexpected, I have to say. If this is what I've been missing out on, I'll have to start sneaking out of the Palace again.

[he looks around idly, seeming pretty calm and unmoved by it all. He's just chill and almost pleasantly so]

Still, as nice as the scenery is, pulling people into Machines isn't something to be taken lightly. Grand experiments like this without the consent of the test subjects aren't something I can condone. I might have to talk to some people. Hopefully there aren’t any idiots I know getting themselves mixed up in anything they shouldn't be. It would be a hassle to have to clean up someone else's mess again.

[a sigh that's somewhere between annoyed and unamused. He crosses his arms over his chest, and if there was a throne somewhere he'd take a seat. Oh well, he'll just look around expectantly]

So how about someone come out and tell me how to get out of this place? While the look of the place and the new surroundings are great, being trapped too long in one place would be annoying.

Five weeks stuck in one place. Sounds like a drag. So what did you have to do to get back home after that?

[lamb_of_gold]

Theorize on who it was that caused our imprisonment. I opted not to, but it seems we're free to go anyways. Coming and going now is as easy as it ever was.

[quecaneatit.livejournal.com]

Opted not to because you did it, or because you couldn't figure out who would?

[lamb_of_gold]

The latter. I didn't feel I had enough information to make a sound choice.

[quecaneatit.livejournal.com]

Did opting out cost you or anyone else anything?

[lamb_of_gold]

Nothing so far as I can tell. A few more days here, perhaps.

[quecaneatit.livejournal.com]

If you say so. Getting back home's the important thing anyway.

[he scrutinizes Mu for a minute or two]

You're not from around Malkuth, are you?

[lamb_of_gold]

Well, a thought will take you.


I'm afraid not. [Though it's said with a smile]

[quecaneatit.livejournal.com]

That's pretty easy. [and so he tests it out, dropping and returning]

So what about you. Where are you from?

[lamb_of_gold]

It becomes as natural as taking a step, over time.

Tibet, though I'd imagine you've not heard of it.

[quecaneatit.livejournal.com]

I'm sure. There are worse things than appearing in the middle of space.

That's a pretty good intuition you've got. So what do they call you when you're in Tibet?

[lamb_of_gold]

Many things - healer, teacher, hermit... there are some who believe I'm a spirit, but my name is Mu.

[quecaneatit.livejournal.com]

[and he leans an elbow on Mu's shoulder]

You're pretty solid for a spirit, so I'll just stick with Mu.

[he pauses, not really used to having to introduce himself, but what the hell]

It sounds like you have no clue who I am either, so I'll need to introduce myself, too. I'm Peony.

[lamb_of_gold]

[Mu tenses up, but doesn't pull away]

A pleasure to meet you, Peony.

[quecaneatit.livejournal.com]

[he ignores the tensing]

So what do people do around here for fun, Mu?

[lamb_of_gold]

That's a question better posed to those who spend their time here for recreation. However, there's quite a large library to peruse.

[quecaneatit.livejournal.com]

You don't say. So what's someone like you doing here right now, if it's not for fun?

[lamb_of_gold]

Waiting, I suppose. Home is somewhat uncomfortable at the moment.

[quecaneatit.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah? Why's that?

[lamb_of_gold]

My reality has merged with that of my companion. His time is currently running very slowly compared to mine, and thus home is rather uncomfortable. What is but a moment to him, I perceive as days.

[quecaneatit.livejournal.com]

So it's all because of this place. If that's the case, why don't you just talk to whoever is running this thing?

[lamb_of_gold]

Because I have a distinct feeling that those in charge have lost control. Moreover, they'd not be able to help - Mergers can be countered by avoiding the other person, but Shion and I are quite close.

[quecaneatit.livejournal.com]

Hell, if they are losing control it might be the best time to approach them. They might be willing to work with you if they need some help in return.

[lamb_of_gold]

Hm. I hadn't thought of that. Perhaps I will.

[quecaneatit.livejournal.com]

If you're going to work with them, the best time to get something going is when they're looking for help.

But hey, things must have gotten pretty wild here if you think those guys in charge lose control.
