Well, this is weird.

[It looks like there's a newcomer to the Plane.]

This has got to be some sort of really weird dream. I can't be dead since there hasn't been a battle since that kid decided to try and take over the world.

[She just starts to walk around. That's when she spots the bar and tries to go inside. Only to be yelled at and run right back out.]

Geeze! I'm not just some kid. I did help save the world after all. You'd think that'd allow me into a bar to get some answers. Sheesh. I wonder if there's someone around that I can talk to and at least get some answers out of.

[Heero had been walking by the bar on his way towards the hangar when he heard the commotion. That was when he saw her get kicked out.

Duo. Another Duo. Just what he needed today.

So he continued on his way, hoping he hadn't been noticed.]

[hells-scythe.livejournal.com]

[Too late. You have been spotted. Target acquired.

She shook her head a bit and jogged to catch up.]

Hey! Heero!

[stoicperfection.livejournal.com]

[Hearing her voice, he stopped in his tracks and turned to look at her.]

What do you want?

[hells-scythe.livejournal.com]

Heeroooook what's going on?

[She stops in her tracks and looks him over.]

[stoicperfection.livejournal.com]

[Oh, that was right. She was new here.]

You're on the Astral Plane.

[He turned away then as if that would answer everything.]

[hells-scythe.livejournal.com]

That doesn't tell me anything! What I was talking about is you! The Heero I know's a girl!

[stoicperfection.livejournal.com]

It tells you everything.

[This was going to be just a frustrating as when he tried to explain it to Relena.]

You're in a crossroads for universes. I'm from another universe.

[Conan arrives just in time to see Duo turned away from the bar. The seven-year-old pauses thoughtfully. He's never been kicked out of the bar himself. Should he risk his good luck and go in? Much better, he decided, to find out from Duo what the situation is.]

Duo! Duo--

[Hurrying after Duo Conan only belatedly becomes aware that there is something different going on here.]

Uh -- Duo?

[hells-scythe.livejournal.com]

Huh?

[She turns, hearing her name.]

Ya? Do I know you, kid?

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

Um -- I thought you did.

[Conan pauses. An experiment shouldn't effect Duo's memory. So what does this mean?]

New arrival?

[hells-scythe.livejournal.com]

[This Duo is obviously female as well.]

Ya. Just got here.

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

[Conan noticed that first comment.]

What do you know about this place so far?

[hells-scythe.livejournal.com]

Almost nothing.

[stillshinigami]

[That? That is not what he expected to see today. And right upon seeing her he really wasn't sure how to approach the issue so he decides to hang back.]

[hells-scythe.livejournal.com]

[She's not very happy about all of this. She'd just like to get some answers. She sighs and starts to walk off, hands in pockets.]

[stillshinigami]

How'd you manage to get yourself thrown out of the bar, exactly?

[hells-scythe.livejournal.com]

Not entirely sure. I didn't even do anything.

[stillshinigami]

Cause' it's not like anyone is enforcing the minimum age requirement here.

Who did it?

[hells-scythe.livejournal.com]

The bartender.

[She shrugs a bit.]

Eh. I just want to know what's goin' on here.

[Everything has to happen outside his room (which is now a little cottage situated right beside the bar) doesn't it? Crowley had, for once, not been drunk or asleep, but he still pokes his head out the door to see what all the fuss is about.

Which is when he spots a girl that looks remarkably like Duo. Were he to have breasts and long hair, mind.

He decides to come out of the small cottage completely with a potted plant in hand. It was time to get rid of one of the bastards anyway.]

Amazing, you look like you should be Duo's kid sister... New to the Astral Plane?

[hells-scythe.livejournal.com]

I'm not Duo's kid sister. I am Duo.

[She turns to look at him. She's had a few brief encounters with others that help explain things. Her hands slip into her pockets as she looks him over and then the house.

Nice little cottage you have there, Crowley.]

[eyesofaserpent]

..... Duo? An experiment then?

[It was only a few months ago that he himself had been turned into a woman by the machinations of one of the Machine's experiments.]

[hells-scythe.livejournal.com]

No. I'm no experiment.

[She looks a little confused as she scratches her head.]

[eyesofaserpent]

Oh... Well, you must be a new one, then.

Er... I'm Crowley. I've been a resident of the Plane for the last 6 months.

[hells-scythe.livejournal.com]

Duo Maxwell. I may run and hide but I never tell a lie.

Nice meetin' ya, Crowley.
