[A white wolf comes trotting onto the Plane, grass and flowers sprouting everywhere she steps, though they quickly dissolve back into nothing. She comes to a stop and looks around once before sitting down.]

Not the Celestial Plain, certainly. [Brow wrinkles in a wolfish frown.] And no trick of Waka's, either. This sort of thing is beyond him.

[cyfor]

[Have a reverential Cy wandering up, back in her proper form. She gives Amaterasu a o.o look and sits down a few feet away.] Mother Mary's been sleeping with the zookeepers again.

[shinypaws]

[And Amaterasu immediately becomes cheerful, her tail wagging slightly.] Ah, I thought I smelled others here. Hello, little one. Are you lost here as well?

[cyfor]

Everyone's lost unless they know where the end is. [Tentative steps closer.]

[shinypaws]

Very wise, little one. [Lies down so that she's closer to the kitty's height.] Don't be afraid, I don't bite.

[harmonixerdemon]

[Likes white wolves. But isn't used to them talking. And the grass and flowers are weird.] What the hell...?

[shinypaws]

[People! She likes people. Though he smells oddly of demons, which earns him a slightly suspicious headtilt.] Not a demon, I hope, though their taint is in you.

[harmonixerdemon]

I'm not a demon, just a harmonixer. It's...complicated. [Looks at the wolf] What the hell are you? And what's with the flowers and stuff?

[shinypaws]

Harmonixer...afraid I am not familiar with the species. I am glad you are not a demon, though. [Gives the wolf version of a smile.] The flowers are simply a habit of mine. And I am the sun goddess, Amaterasu. Who might you be?

[shunofandromeda]

[Ohh, pretty wolf!] Hello.

[shinypaws]

[Tongue out in a wolf's smile.] Hello! Who might you be? [Pauses, sniffing.] Your scent is certainly interesting.

[shunofandromeda]

I'm Shun. [Not sure how to respond to the last comment] Is it a good kind of interesting?

[shinypaws]

Pleasure to meet you, Shun! I am Amaterasu. [Considers him for a moment.] It is, I think. You smell of light and goodness. What I find interesting is that I also smell darkness in you, though the darkness is not yours.

[damnfinecoffee]

[Wary Ianto is wary, but he's already found from Cy he's too quick to judge so he doesn't reach for his gun (even if it is tempting).] It's the Astral Plane, apparently.

[shinypaws]

[She trots up to him, tongue lolling in a wolf grin, and leaving a trail of flowers and grass behind her.] The Astral Plane, then! I thank you, young one. Do you know why this place is here, by any chance?

[damnfinecoffee]

[He tenses slightly, glancing curiously at the trail of flowers but making sure he doesn't take his eyes off her.] No... I've only been coming here for a few days. I don't really know a lot about it.

[shinypaws]

[She sits down nearby, not wanting to startle him.] Don't be afraid--I have no intention of harming you.

A few days? That would imply that this place has been around for longer than that. Do you perhaps know how long this place has existed?

[seventhcoil]

[Fumie stares, because, well, even for the Astral Plane the flower thing is strange]

Waaa, that's really pretty.

[shinypaws]

[Small child! Amaterasu loves children~ Her tail starts wagging.]

Hello, little one! Do you enjoy flowers~?

[seventhcoil]

[she smiles and holds out her hand, much like one does when greeting a dog or cat]

Ah, they're very nice to look at. I don't see them very often, though, unless it's a flower shop.

[shinypaws]

[And Amaterasu walks up and licks her hand.]

They are nice to look at! And I quite enjoy their scent. They can be quite powerful, flowers can. A good friend of mine uses her flowers to protect the land and people.
