[This time, when Jamie appears on the Plane - still in his 'borrowed' armour - he has a cube with him, about the size of a basketball. Made from some black material that almost seems to absorb the light of the stars above, it appears to be completely smooth, with no discernible features to it. He turns it over in his hands as he starts towards the kitchen, but he's an awfully long way away from there, and quite hungry at the moment.]

Och, I wish I could get to the kitchen faster.

[With a *whuft* of displaced air and a bit of a light show, Jamie vanishes, then reappears just outside the entrance leading to it. Needless to say, that's more than a bit confusing, and he turns around in a circle while trying to figure out what's going on.]

Hey?

[OOC: Have a confused Highlander who is now a god, folks.]

[Instead of picking and choosing one aspect of the plane to study, Aster decided to explore everything. Knowing what was here would help him figure out the nature of this place.

So Aster, with a sandwich in one hand, is near the entrance when someone pops out of nowhere.]

Hello.

[bonnypiperlad]

Hello. [It's an absent reply, as Jamie seems a little more intent on trying to sort through this rather new development - and is muttering to himself.] Now, I wasn't anywhere near the kitchen, so how did I get here?

[He blinks, doing a sudden double take at the man with the sandwich. A man who, incidentally, looks vaguely familiar.] Hey, don't I know ye from somewhere?

[ainsophaured.livejournal.com]

You mean, you didn't come here of your own doing?

[Now this man has Aster's full attention. Was he new here? Or is the ability to teleport not something he normally possesses?]

I don't think we've ever met before now.

[bonnypiperlad]

No. I was over there. [Jamie gestures to a point quite some distance away from the kitchen, too far to walk. He frowns.]

I've not ever been able to do that before.

[He rubs at the back of his head for a moment, then looks at the man again.] I'm sorry, it's just that ye look familiar somehow. My name's Jamie.

[ainsophaured.livejournal.com]

[Forget this sandwich, he's more interested in that. He's a bit hungry though, so he takes a bite first and mulls over why he could teleport. Good thing Aster's polite enough to not talk with his mouth full.]

Nice to meet you, Jamie. My name is Aster.

[If he's been here, he might have seen Emil. Aster smiles a little.]

There's another here, named Emil, who you might have seen. We have a similar appearance.

[bonnypiperlad]

[Distracted for the moment about thoughts of teleporting, Jamie looks at Aster more closely.] Ah! Aye, I see.

[That might make some other things make sense, as well.]

...Did ye happen to run into someone named Marta, by chance?

[ainsophaured.livejournal.com]

...Yes, I did. When I met her, she seemed very upset at Emil.

[Now that he looks back, he can sort of understand what caused her to react in that way.]

[bonnypiperlad]

I think she was more upset because she thought ye were Emil, if ye ask me. I'd not say I understand all the reasons why, though.

[He was more concerned with making sure she was okay then making sense of the story, alas. He goes to shrug at Aster, and his eyes wind up alighting on the sandwich, which reminds him the reason why he was so bent on getting to the kitchen in the first place.]

Say, what do they have for sandwich things in there today, anyway? Roast beef?

[He's rather hopeful that there is some, because he could go for a roast beef sandwich right about now. And, as he thinks about that, one appears in mid-air between the two of them.]

[ainsophaured.livejournal.com]

[Aster hadn't spoken to her again after their initial meeting. Perhaps he should seek her out later. He doesn't want to upset her though.

Once again, he finds his attention diverted elseware. There's a sandwich floating in the air! He stares at it and brings a hand underneath the levitating sandwich to catch it if it falls before Jamie can grab it.. ]

I take it this doesn't normally happen here. You appeared here without warning and now this.

[bob-fraser-snr.livejournal.com]

[Bob is eating some chips.] I don't know why I keep eating these. Taste like nothing.

[bonnypiperlad]

[...what? Jamie looks up at Bob in a rather baffled way.] Why don't ye put something on them, then?

[Maybe they need some salt and vinegar, he thinks. And, just then, a little container of each pops into existence just off to Bob's side, handily set up on a small table along with some other sauces. Jamie startles visibly, then stares.]

Did ye see that?!

[bob-fraser-snr.livejournal.com]

Does me no good, son. [He looks over at the table as if it was supposed to be there.] I did.

[bonnypiperlad]

And you're not surprised by it just...appearing like that?

[bob-fraser-snr.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm dead, son. [Appearing tables? Whatever!]

[bonnypiperlad]

Well, I'm not dead, and I've not seen anything like that happen before.

[bob-fraser-snr.livejournal.com]

Good for you! [He's happy you're not dead, Jamie.]

[bonnypiperlad]

[He's really not going to complain much about that fact, himself.] Er, thank you.

Look, my point is, the only time I've seen things appear out of thin air is when someone brings something to the Plane with them. Not all by themselves like that.

[oliverplus]

[Oliver witnesses that display, as he was walking by the kitchen at the time. he blinks at the newly-appeared Jamie] Jamie...? What's going on?

[bonnypiperlad]

[Jamie's head whips around at Oliver's voice, and he freezes for a second or two, an unreadable expression on his face. After that, he looks away, shaking his head instead.]

I-I don't know. I was halfway across the Plane a moment ago.

[oliverplus]

[Oliver's dread shows in his expression] You...what? How?

[bonnypiperlad]

I'm telling ye, I don't know. I was walking towards here, but I wasn't anywhere close.

All I did was wish I could get here faster, and all of a sudden, I appeared where I am right now.

[oliverplus]

[Oliver's expression of dread shifts to fear] Ohh, Jamie, not you too...

[bonnypiperlad]

What do ye mean, not me too?

[oliverplus]

Have you wished for anything else? Seen what happens?

[bonnypiperlad]

No, I've not done that. Why?
