as the stars are going out and this stage is full of nothing

[Some of you have known this moment before.

The stars have started going out. For those on the Plane as it begins, they can see Meredith Sault alone among numerous holographic monitors, windows into all their different worlds.]


You have to prevent harm to the people.

[The Machine listens.

Every resident not already on the Plane is brought there immediately; the moment they arrive, Meredith closes down the monitors. She gives them one reassurance.]
This should be brief.

[Their only warning before she disappears. The stars are going out faster now, and soon all that is left is the soft luminescence which each subject emits. Then that is gone too. Those whose powers come from their environment are without any power.

Those with good hearing might even notice that the distant sound of machinery that haunts this place and all their dreams has stopped. For once, the Astral Plane is silent.]


[ooc: The plot begins! It is in detail here. One day of a power-out to be followed by two weeks of reality-warping from those who took up the library challenge. We'll have the schedule up today.]

[raises an eyebrow] Have you now? Don't suppose you could refresh my memory?

Oh, aye. They're everywhere in the complex. There's different ones in different areas. I think they may use them to let people know where they are.

[Although he's not sure. They could just be some sort of fancy decoration. He certainly didn't see anything like them on the psychic paper when he tried to use it. Speaking of the psychic paper, he still has that, and he reaches back into that box-shaped pouch and pulls the borrowed wallet out.]

That reminds me. Here, ye should take this back.

[he smiles excitedly] Like directions and "you are here" notices, then! Ohhh, I love it when they make things simple like that. Well, almost. It does take a bit of the guesswork out.

[just as he presses every single button on the device, he catches sight of the worn little wallet] Oh, I'd wondered where I'd put it! Take it things didn't go as well as you'd hoped?

Only if ye actually understand what it means. It's not as though the TARDIS translated those so they looked like words. For I all I know someone could have decided they wanted the pictures as decorations.

[There's a shake of his head at the question.] No, they didn't. I couldn't get that [jerks a chin at the psychic paper] to do anything. Nearly got myself..

[For a split second, the device makes a noise, a faint humming sound that even Jamie can pick up on, given the silence of the Plane. But there's not enough stored power for it to work and nothing to draw off of, so it doesn't do anything more.]

Hey, did ye hear that?
