001 ♥

[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?

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

[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...!

[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]

[What are you looking at?]

Um... Hi!

[cuteliar.livejournal.com]

Really? You can do that for me?

[cuteliar.livejournal.com]

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

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

[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.

[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.

[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.

[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.

[lamb_of_gold]

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

[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.

[oliverplus]

An interdimensional nexus, actually! [he has picked up a few things from being here for so long] Basically, a place where people from all sorts of times and places can meet up.

[laughs at her overzealousness] Anything else I can help you with?

[cuteliar.livejournal.com]

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

[lamb_of_gold]

Anger is hardly uncommon among first time visitors here.

[cuteliar.livejournal.com]

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

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

[This girl is way too happy.]

I think you can ask it for a printed copy, if you prefer that.

[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?

[pactum.livejournal.com]

Do you remember meeting a woman wearing a cloak? Or creepy twins? They run a weird shop. Anyone who can go in that shop can come to the Plane. [he glances at the cats] Ah, these are my mons-- pets. You can bring things with you if you concentrate, but not people. These two just sleep on me all the time. They're kinda lazy.

[He shakes his head at the last part.] It's not space. We're actually inside of magitech— a machine, I guess.

[cuteliar.livejournal.com]

Colonel! How'd you get here?

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

[cuteliar.livejournal.com]

Whoa! Are you serious? I've never heard of anyplace like this before...

[Does she need more help? Naaah, but she is definitely keeping Oliver in mind for whenever she needs help.] Ohhh, I think I'll be just fine for now!
