Whoa! Am I dead!?

[a man in a full suit of purple body armor has arrived on the Plane in a crumpled heap on the ground, but he quickly pulls himself up, looking around frantically] ...huh? Where is this place? [he blinks, confused] Hey, stars! That means it's heaven, right? [he lets out a sigh] That's a relief!

So, um...is anybody out there? Heaven isn't supposed to be lonely, right? Hello? [hesitantly, he takes a few steps forward, looking around at the starry landscape] I'm Medical Officer DuFresne. I think I just died. Is anyone there? [he pauses] Um...Church, are you out there? Or Tex? Oh god, I hope Tex isn't here... Wait! [his expression brightens] This is heaven. So Tex wouldn't be here! Or Church. Aw, that's not very nice. I really shouldn't say that. But at least Tex won't beat me up... Wait, could she even do that in heaven?

[and now that he's started, he's probably just going to keep muttering to himself for a while--unless you'd like to interrupt him]

[ooc: Doc is coming from s8 ep1, i.e. right here--meaning he just got knocked out. Please excuse the panicking.]

[Shun hears the muttering and has to say something] You aren't dead. This is just the Astral Plane. [Because that explains everything]

[docinawall]

[Doc jumps, turning to see who's there. then his expression brightens] Hey, this is heaven, isn't it? There are even kids here!

...wait, I'm not dead? [he blinks, looking down at himself] Are you sure?

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

[Shun just smiles] I'm sure! It's not like you're stuck here or anything. You can even go home, you know.

[docinawall]

[surprised] Really? Uh...how about we don't do that. I don't want to get hit again.

So what is this place? Why's it all...space-y? [considering that he arrived here after getting knocked out, he has to ask:] ...this isn't actually a cave, is it?

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

If you want to go home, you just have to think about it! It's really easy to do.

No, it's not a cave. It's the Astral Plane. It's a kind of a place where all these different worlds can meet!

[foundmyarms.livejournal.com]

Ohmygosh it's another armor-guy!

[ZOOMING over to see Doc now, because these suits are pretty awesome and he wants to meet the people in them.]

So you're a Freelancer too, right? Your outfit is a different color.

[docinawall]

[Doc is rather happy to have someone zoom over to him. no one ever does that!] Hey! Yeah, I've got armor! You must be a civilian.

Huh? [scoffs] No way! Those guys got disbanded. They all went to jail. Well, almost all. Apparently some of them didn't. I wish they had... I'm a medic.

[foundmyarms.livejournal.com]

Really? Because someone else here said they were a Freelancer so they can't all be in jail.

[Suddenly he has THOUGHTS.]

Does this mean you're going to go arrest her?

[docinawall]

[under his visor, Doc's eyes just got very wide] Did you say she!? Oh god... Was she wearing black armor? Tell me she wasn't wearing black armor!

[foundmyarms.livejournal.com]

No, she had pink armor.

[bit_impossible]

[strange and curious sights are what usually draw him to things--and boy, your sudden appearance and that armor, is right up his alley, Doc!]

Nope! You're not dead, and I'd dare say this is a far cry from heaven--which sounds like a film title, come to think of it--but you're definitely not dead. [steps closer, getting into Doc's personal space] Well, I say that but yet you very well could be just nothing in a suit. Knew a great and powerful man once. Got stuck in a dimension beyond a black hole and slowly lost his body, but he wasn't aware of it thanks to the robes and mask he wore all the time. [starts poking the black part of Doc's body suit]

[docinawall]

[Doc is dubious about that assessment] Really? Are you sure?

...what!? [Doc starts rapidly backing away from the Doctor. this does not sound like a safe person to be around] Yeah, uh...I bet you don't get much sunlight around here. Maybe you should see about getting an artificial light...

[bit_impossible]

Extremely sure. I'm not dead. And no one else is here either--well, they're also from different time periods so at some point, they will be dead, but right here, right now, they're very much alive.

[raises an eyebrow] Oi, I'll have you know I get plenty of sunlight! If I wanted sun, I could simply go back to my reality. Like so! [and he drops off the Plane, then returns with a stripe of zinc down his nose and a pair of sunglasses on. he also has a glass of lemonade in his hand] See?

[docinawall]

So what you're saying is we're all going to die? You know, if that's supposed to be reassuring, I think you might want to work on that...

[Doc stops his rapid retreat, staring at the Doctor] Whoa, cool! How'd you do that?

[bit_impossible]

[arches an eyebrow] You don't really listen to what's being said, do you?

[sips his lemonade] I dropped from the Plane. That's where we are--and you can do it too if you wanted! Well, I'm not sure they'll have lemonade in your reality, but anything is possible.

I haven't seen beyond season 5. I need to watch more.

[hells-scythe.livejournal.com]

Welcome to the Plane, and you're not dead.

[So says the Gundam Pilot.]

You should! It's great stuff~

[docinawall]

[Doc blinks at him] Really? [he looks Duo up and down] So you picked me up? Wow! Are you the pilot?

/putters to the website

[hells-scythe.livejournal.com]

I used to be a pilot, but I'm not anymore. No one picked you up.

\o/

[docinawall]

Huh? [Doc just stares for a moment, confused] But you said we're on a plane.

Canon review is a go.

[hells-scythe.livejournal.com]

The name of the place is called the Plane. Like Astral Plane. There's a place to get information. I can take you.

[moveslikestrider]

[The muttering disturbs Dave out of working on mixing some music with his Timetop. He pulls his headphones off to watch Doc wander around. After a second he starts after him, hands in his pockets and computer tucked away.

So sue him, he's bored.]

[docinawall]

[Doc doesn't see Dave at first. he's still too busy calling out to the air]

Is anybody out there? [to himself] What if nobody is? Wait, would that make this hell? Oh man, I don't want to be in hell! Tell me this isn't hell...

Hello!? Are there any angels? Or demons?

[at this point, he turns and catches sight of Dave] Yikes! [he stops, staring at Dave in surprise] Who the heck are you?

[moveslikestrider]

[Dave straightens up a bit, calm as can be.] You know for a guy in armor, you flail around a lot.

Anyways, this isn't Hell or Heaven. You're not dead. You'd know for sure if you kicked the bucket.

[docinawall]

Well, you shouldn't sneak up on people! [Duh.]

[he's surprised to hear that news, though] ...really? [but Doc narrows his eyes behind his helmet, skeptical] Wait. How do you know I'd know?

/punts lj/ Thought I posted this.

[moveslikestrider]

You could have heard me if you hadn't been crazy muttering like a cultist.

[Dave folds his arms over his chest and raises one eyebrow.] Because then you'd drop down into the abyss where horrorific gods with a perchance for violating every nook and cranny and ofice of your psyche will wriggle their tentacles and slime the insides of your mind like you were a slice of bread that needed some jelly on it.
