[This guy looks way too cheerful for someone who’s just abruptly found himself in the middle of a starry blackness.]

My, my, this looks like it might be troublesome. [He looks around.] Gojyo? Sanzo, Goku?

...I guess I’m here on my own. [He smiles blandly into the darkness.] ...Well, I doubt that, actually. It’s awfully rude to leave your guests waiting in the darkness, you know. I have dinner on the stove, so I’d really prefer to get this over with, if it’s not too much trouble. [The smile turns dangerously cheerful, and his monocle glints ominously.] I might even let you go, if you make it quick!

[The darkness does not respond, and Hakkai shakes his head in disappointment.] I suppose it was too much to hope that it might be over with so soon, wasn’t it? Ah, well. [His hand reaches up to stroke the furred crest of the little white dragon perched across his shoulders, and it emits a soft ‘kyuu’.] I guess we should see if there’s something more interesting in those buildings, shouldn’t we, Hakuryu?

[Jacqli is about to walk right by this man (and dragon - huh, interesting...) she's never seen before on her way to the kitchen, but she slows when she gets nearer to him, and she even offers: ]

Most of them really aren't that interesting.

[She's so helpful.]

[Oliver is staring at the creature on Hakkai's shoulder] Hey--is that a dragon!?

[Hiccup's passing by with some rope, trying not to get into the man's business. He knows that smile, he got a it a few times from Snotlout too and it only promises pain, and headaches... But hey. Hey, what is that!]

A dragon! [The nerd in him exclaims before he could stop himself. Then he just stands there being absolutely terrified because the man seems dangerous, but... dragon...] I mean, not you, you're not a dragon, you just, uh, have... a dragon. That's... great.

[Well Hiccup might as well could just hang himself with his rope if he so badly wanted to cease to exist, doesn't he?!]

[Christopher's attention swivels in on one particular part of the speech, setting aside everything else.] It's so exasperating to be separated from your cooking. Even if time doesn't stop for it, what about you? You can't get interrupted in the middle of a work of art, even if it won't burn while you're gone. It's not like Michelangelo took breaks when he was painting the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. Sorry, that's wrong. He did. Inspiration is so fickle. You can't blame him.

[He waves it all off with a hand. Now his blood eyes turn to really meet Hakkai's, and his mouth of fangs opens to welcome Hakkai with a gentle smile.] That's right! You're new! Lost! I'd even say you're in need of a friend! I'll help a fellow culinary artist out. [Ignoring that Hakkai never even said he enjoyed cooking, let alone that he was good at it] There are papers around here that explain everything, but you can't trust what you read in papers, can you? It would be my honour to tell you everything.

[Roxas approaches shyly, staying a comfortable distance away. He's not sure what to think of this guy. He seems... nice enough, but there's something still kind of 'off'. Well, he's probably freaked out in any case.

He's prepared to give a speech, but then he notices the thing on Hakkai's shoulder is alive and all the words leave him.]

What... is that?

[SO ELOQUENT, I know. I can't handle it.]

Are you kidding? They always do the darkness shtick here. It's like they have nothing better to do than present themselves like tools. [A boy is leaning against the entrance to the bar. His shock white hair is offset by his gold rimmed shades but matches the red and white shirt plus black pants thing he has going for him.]

They leave it to the rest of us to do that. First thing's first, you can leave at any time. Just will it to happen and you're gone. But, the Plane, I can't believe I finally called it that out loud, has its hooks in you. You'll be able to come back here and it might just yoink you back if it feels like it.

There's some out of date info hanging around if you want the readable version of the shit going down here.
