Lesson 1

[howeducational]

[ Appearing on the astral plane is a young man with an unmistakable look of curiosity about him, his head whipping to and fro as he tries to take in the mind-boggling view yet again from atop his stopped bike. ]

Wooooah...! So it wasn't just a dream after all! It's really here! It's like I stepped right into the cosmos! But... that can't be true

[ What a weirdo. Sefton's simply going to stare for a moment while deciding whether he should try explaining things or just walk away before he's noticed.

Standard Sefton disclaimer applies. ]

[howeducational]

[ Kintaro, having gone back to licking the floor for a few moments, freezes in place as he looks up at the person staring at him, tongue still pressed to the ground. ]

... Um. Hello!

[polarisation]

[ Yyyep, Sefton's still staring. Why in the world would you lick that? ]

... Hey.

[howeducational]

[ And he's up in an instant, scratching the back of his head with a laugh. As for the reasoning... it's educational. ]

Wow, you're the first person I've met here! Uh, besides Meredith, but she... kind of scares me.

[buckingbronco]

[Can't help staring, then laughing a little at that display]

[howeducational]

[ He... doesn't know what's so funny, but apparently this guy does! So he'll be laughing just for the sake of laughing. ]

[buckingbronco]

[That just makes him laugh harder, until he finally manages to get himself under control] I..I've never seen anyone taste the Plane before.

[howeducational]

How else can you learn about something but by using your own body, right?

[madamemoiselle]

...You know, I don't think anyone has licked it before.

[howeducational]

[ Pretty girl. Very pretty girl. ]

W-well, uh, then it's about time someone does, right? How else are you going to learn about something you don't know anything about?

[madamemoiselle]

{Giggles}

Well, tasting it wouldn't be my first thought.

[howeducational]

Well, you can't see it, right? And I already felt it, so that leaves sound, taste, and smell. That's the easiest way to start learning about something; use your senses!

[oikoumene]

{Laughs} Well, you are certainly quite a bit more on your way to discovering what it means than most! I cannot say that I bothered to investigate too many of the "whys" myself until my second or third time coming here! To no end, I am afraid, but as long as it presents no harm or conflict, then I cannot complain for the reprieve!

Hou, and "Plane-walking citizens" is far too formal, I would think!

[howeducational]

Well, learning's the one thing I love to do! So when I get to a place that I don't know anything about, I've got to take in as much information as I can. Orally, if need be.

Oh! Is there a nickname around here? "Planers", maybe?

[oikoumene]

Good man! I can appreciate that initiative! But hmmm, I do not think so? I have not heard many that will associate themselves with this place more than our homes, so it is more common to just hail from your own world! Perhaps a possible name for the people here is something of note!

[howeducational]

So most people here aren't actually from the astral plane... they're just visiting it, like I am. And, I guess, like you are!

So there aren't many real planers then, besides Meredith. That's something to keep in mind!

[ Notebook is out, and he's jotting it down ASAP. It's good to keep a written record, after all. ]

It's going to take a long time to learn everything about this place, I think.

[silenteden]

[.... Did he just lick the floor?

...

Ah nevermind. Kuhn laughs a little and approaches, smiling.]

You know, "Plane-walkers" is kind of catchy. I think you've got something there.

[howeducational]

It would be pretty cool to invent a slang phrase, I guess! I hope it catches on, then.

[ ... oh right, getting off his hands and knees to stand up straight. ]

Guess time'll tell, right?

[silenteden]

Right. [Ha ha! ha... hmm...]

So... what'd it taste like?

((OoC: Sorry for late! school ate me >: you'll... probably hear that excuse from me a lot.))
