[Have a little girl, Astral Plane! She's just delighted to be here, really.]

Hey, what's the big idea?! I'm not supposed to be here! Whoever brought me here, you better show yourself right now! How could you do this to someone like me?! I'm not gonna let you get away with this, you bas--

[And this. This is the face of someone realizing that there just miiight be other people around. Nervous little laugh and... time to turn on the charm!]

O-oh, um. Hi there! Is there anyone here? Maybe someone who'd like to help out a cute girl like me? I'm really really lost and I don't know why I'm here. And I've gotta get back to Ion!



Huh, what's with all the stars here?

[What are you looking at?]

Um... Hi!

[lamb_of_gold]

That was quite a sudden change of tack, I must say.

[cuteliar.livejournal.com]

A-ahaha... Oh, did you hear that? I'm so so sorry.

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

There's a place that explains everything around somewhere. Do you want me to take you there?

[cuteliar.livejournal.com]

Really? You can do that for me?

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

Sure! Follow me.

[And thus he leads her to the help desk]

If you ask it, it'll explain things to you.

[cuteliar.livejournal.com]

Ohhh, thank you so much! This is very helpful.

[What a personality switch. This derp here seems to have been... playing with kittens. No, I'm serious. There's a fluffy black kitten and a fluffy white/orange kitten, and they're both arguing over who gets to sit in Emil's scarf. One in each hand, he's suddenly confronted by PINK.]

Uh...

[Emil is so eloquent. He also realizes this looks very strange. Some guy playing with two kittens in the middle of space...]

Welcome to the Astral Plane...!

[cuteliar.livejournal.com]

[Well, this is really something you don't see every day. Blink blink.]

Um... Thanks... ...What's the Astral Plane?

[pactum.livejournal.com]

It's... a place that a bunch of people from different worlds can visit. [The kittens wiggle a bit. He lets the white one hide in his scarf, and the other one is content to purr from the shelter of his gloved arms.] You can go home just by thinking about it-- like taking a step. Just think of home, and you'll be there. [a pause, and a flicker of something dark and sad crosses his face] ... Unless something breaks.

But it's fixed now, so everything should be good for a while.

[cuteliar.livejournal.com]

Huh, it's really that easy? How'd we even get here in the first place? ...And cats can do it too?

[Well, that last part sure sounded ominous. Definitely something to investigate further.] You can break space?

[oliverplus]

[hurries over to her. that was an interesting change of demeanor, but in any case, THERE'S A CHILD IN DISTRESS!] Hey! You're on the Astral Plane. But don't worry--it's really easy to get home.

What's your name?

[cuteliar.livejournal.com]

[Easy to get home?!] Really?! Oh, thank you so much! How do I get back?

I'm Anise!

[oliverplus]

Just think about it and--[snaps]--you'll be there. Pretty cool, huh?

Hey, Anise! I'm Oliver. Nice to meet you!

[cuteliar.livejournal.com]

Huh, what? Just like that? What kinda' place is this?

...Oh! It's very nice to meet you too.

[clinical]

[Jade is getting used to the temporal mess his universe is making for itself, so he doesn't even sigh when he hears Anise mention Ion.]

Careful, Anise. You never know what wealthy men might be listening.

[cuteliar.livejournal.com]

Colonel! How'd you get here?

[The wealthy men didn't hear her, okay?! Can't convince her otherwise.]

[clinical]

Why, Anise, this is where I come from. Returning here is easy for me.

[Jade would make a very good space alien.]

[quecaneatit.livejournal.com]

[after meeting Asch, he's not too surprised about hearing Anise talk about Ion]

I've gotta say, the fierce look is much more attractive, but if you want to go for the sweet act I'm not going to complain.

About all the rest, don't worry too much about it, it's just a thought and you'll be home.

[cuteliar.livejournal.com]

Oh, you too, Emperor Peony?

...Ahahaha, you really think so?

[quecaneatit.livejournal.com]

Sure I do. Keep that up and in six years I'll have to start looking at you seriously.

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

[Well that was a bit odd..but he can't turn away from someone asking for help.] This is the Astral Plane. If you want to go back home, you just have to think about it.

[cuteliar.livejournal.com]

Thank you so so much! I was so lost.

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

It is pretty confusing when you first get here. But don't worry, no one at home will notice anything happened.
