[someone new appears on the Plane; she's sitting in a manual wheelchair, wearing a sleek black headset, and balanced on her lap are two thin silver rods

for a moment, she looks stunned, but then her expression closes, and when she speaks, her voice is cool and calm]

Azrael? Azrael, do you read me? ...No, I thought not. [she pulls the receiver

Doesn't live here.

[Hello, Babs, while you're memorizing, you might as well notice the teenager in the pink sundress and totally matching black boots. She has her head tilted in your direction, not-quite but almost looking at you.]

[bodilesswarrior]

[Barbara frowns; they're pulling in kids, too? Of course, the girl might not be what she seems

she slows to a stop, folding her hands on her lap]

Who does?

[bytwo]

[She glances away at the attention, (maybe) a little startled that the woman was actually listening. To cover, she refocuses her attention on smoothing out her skirt.]

Lots of people.

[bodilesswarrior]

[with a touch of wry irony to her voice] It doesn't seem like the best place to live.

[Shion has been studying her with some curiosity since he has never seen a wheelchair before. But he isn't totally rude and speaks up after a moment.] Have you not been here before?

[bodilesswarrior]

[she meets his eyes as she comes to a stop] No. Not unless you count that moment in the shop. [now her hands rest right next to her Escrima sticks]

[ram_of_gold]

Then I suppose I should give you a welcome to the Astral Plane, although I am not sure 'welcome' is the proper term to use here.

[bodilesswarrior]

[wry smile] Thanks anyway. Do you know what this is, exactly?

[oliverplus]

[steps over toward her, always eager to help a new arrival!] First time here, I take it?

[bodilesswarrior]

[slows to a stop, freeing her hands, smiling faintly] More or less. Ms. Sault wasn't very helpful last time.

[oliverplus]

Ms...ohhhh! Meredith, you mean? [makes a face] Yeah, she wouldn't be. But welcome to the Astral Plane! The rest of us aren't like that, don't worry.

[bodilesswarrior]

Thanks. I think. [shakes her head] No, you seem much more...human. [contemplative pause] You'd think we'd come up with a more general term after meeting aliens.
