[Here's a kid walking out onto the Astral Plane. He is short and has white hair and is very, very excited. He wearing a purple hat that looks vaguely like a rabbit, a faded black cape, and manacles on his wrists connected by a length of chain. Did I mention he's excited?]

WOW!

Wow.

Where'd all the snow go? What're all those shiny things? Look at 'em shine!

[He must be talking about the stars. Maybe. He gets down to his hands and knees and knocks on the invisible floor.]

Hey, what am I standing on? Is there something here?

[Knock, knock. Lick, lick.]

Those shiny things are there too! So cool. But they don't taste like anything. Man, that sucks.

[Lick, lick. Lick, lick. Why yes, he keeps trying to lick the stars.]

Hey, shiny things! Can you hear me? Hello? Helloooo~?

[After watching this for a few moments, Mu finally speaks up. His voice is still a little hoarse, and Shiro may notice some fading bruises around his neck. BUT.]

If you're hungry, there is a kitchen around somewhere.

[spotofsunlight.livejournal.com]

[Unfortunately, even if Shiro did notice them? He doesn't know what bruises are. ;__;]

Oh hey! A person! That's awesome!

What's a 'kitchen'? Can I eat that? Why can't I eat those shiny things there?

[lamb_of_gold]

A...[Oh my. Mu sighs very mildly before continuing] You cannot eat the kitchen, no, but there is food within. The stars around us are, unfortunately, too far away to eat, even if it were possible.

[spotofsunlight.livejournal.com]

Wow, I like this 'kitchen' already! Food is good. Let's go get some!

[moveslikestrider]

No idea what the fuck is keeping us from falling down into that slurry. [A boy stands not too far away, dressed in red and pulling the hood on his head off with one hand.]

But keep singing they might answer you. [Or not but it's kinda entertaining. The fact there's licking going on has him curious.]

[spotofsunlight.livejournal.com]

Gosh, I don't know. I think they aren't paying attention. Do you think they taste good? They look like they taste good.

2/2.

[spotofsunlight.livejournal.com]

Look I can do that too!

[He messes with his cape until it makes something like a makeshift hood but can't get it over his rabbit hat.]

Like that!

A bunch of shiny balls of light tasting good, ok. That makes a lot of sense.

[moveslikestrider]

[And wow you're kinda excitable, here.] Maybe if you attached it to your hat there. Could work.

[spotofsunlight.livejournal.com]

I'm wearing a hat?

[spotofsunlight.livejournal.com]

What's a 'hat'?

[Shiro copies Dave's earlier movements a little more faithfully, swiping at his head until his hat comes off. He looks down at it as though noticing it for the first time.]

Oh wow, is it this thing? I didn't even notice this was there! Thanks for telling me.

[Oliver is watching Shiro, both confused and amused by his antics. he laughs when Shiro starts yelling to the stars]

A lot of weird stuff does happen around here, but I still don't think they're gonna talk back.

1/2.

[spotofsunlight.livejournal.com]

Well, gosh, that's pretty rude of them.

[spotofsunlight.livejournal.com]

[And then he looks up and realizes who started talking to him.]

Oh, wow! A person! That's awesome! Where'd you come from?

[oliverplus]

[he snorts] Maybe.

[but he starts laughing at Shiro's excitement] I was here before you! I take it this is your first time on the Plane?

[spotofsunlight.livejournal.com]

You were? Wow! I didn't even see you! That's so cool!

And I think so, yeah, but what's a 'plane'? There was some guy who said something about 'planes' too, and then he handed me something, and I ate it.

[So much for info brochures.]

[dragonnerd.livejournal.com]

[Well what do you know, licking the floor. Why did Hiccup never thought of that?! Anyway, he is just standing next to the stranger, staring at him.]

I don't think they can hear you, and even if they could, stars can't talk. Or not that I know of... But there is still a lot of things I don't know, so...

[spotofsunlight.livejournal.com]

[Shiro pauses in his licking and looks up. HMM. A person. Feel free to answer all or none of the following questions.]

Those are 'stars'?

[spotofsunlight.livejournal.com]

What are 'stars'?

[spotofsunlight.livejournal.com]

Why can't they talk?

[spotofsunlight.livejournal.com]

You don't know a lot of things? That's like Shiro! Shiro doesn't know a lot of things either!

[dragonnerd.livejournal.com]

Yes stars, and-- uh they are um, some far away lights on the sk-- wha-- well because they... [Takes a moment to think about it.] I don't think they want to talk to us, that's why...

Yyyeah, so you're called Shiro? I guess it's already something that you know your own name, no...? If it's your name of course, is it your name?

[spacewich.livejournal.com]

You can't taste the stars by licking the ground. They're too far away!

[A dog-tieredeared girl pops up beside him and giggles.]

And they can't hear you, either, so they're not going to answer.

[spotofsunlight]

Well, that sucks. How can I get them to come closer?
