[ A familiar young woman with light brown hair and blue eyes was standing in the middle of what appeared to be the plane obviously quiet and somewhat confused about her location. This was not Auldrant. Her form shifted quietly as she moved slowly at first. Still anyone that knew her would probably be quite confused about her looking quite familiar

[Conan's making quiet a bit of noise -- he has to, unfortunately. He's not quite strong enough to lift the desk he brought with him by accident from his first grade classroom, so he's dragging it behind him, as he tries to make sure it's out of the way of everyone.

The Astral Plane has quite a bit of traction compared to the floor of his school classroom, and Conan pauses to take a break, leaning against the desk as he catches his breath. He pauses as he notices someone coming his way.]

Ah -- sorry! I hope I wasn't distrubing you!

[yuliafonichymns]

[ Tear continued to walk quickly and quietly as she started to hear the noise. She turned around briefly almost slightly in defense thinking that she might have been attacked. She's kind of on edge due to the fact that she had just found herself here after a very emotional battle as well.

She stopped short of pulling out her knives when she noticed it was just another person who was almost appearing completely harmless. She lowered her hand to her side but she kept her guard up. ]

No...you haven't... [ She replied slowly. There was not much else to say other than that. ] May I inquire what is going on? [ She mused looking at the desk almost skeptically. ]

[holmes_fanatic]

Ah, that's a relief!

[Despite her words, there was obvious tension about the woman. Conan's tone was apologetic as he explained.]

I brought my desk here by accident -- I was holding it when I thought of coming to the Plane and we both just -- appeared. I don't want to get in trouble in case someone trips over it or something, so I'm moving it out of the way.

[yuliafonichymns]

[ Tear was always tense. There was not a moment that she would crack her usual facade to express her true feelings. She was always so stoic and straight forward. She did loosen her guard for a moment seeing that he wasn't posing as trouble to her at all. He seemed like he was being sincere enough to explain to her. ]

I see...do you perhaps require assistance? [ She's quite the type to offer people assistance. It was her job as a soldier to keep civilians and those who are unable to fight safe and sound. At least that was what she always thought due to her upbringing. She had other things to inquire about but she was not going to attack a kid about it. ]

[cruxified]

[There's someone else along this path, a quiet man resting against a lamp post as he cleans and polishes a sword. The look he gives Tear is vaguely curious, but he doesn't call out to her.]

[yuliafonichymns]

[ Tear stops short when notices another man resting against a lamp post. He was cleaning his sword but he didn't appear suspicious. That didn't mean she wasn't cautious about passing him by. He glanced back with a blank emotionless stare as he gives her the curious look. She supposed if she continued blindly, she would find herself quite lost. It would make sense to ask him though. He might know more than she did. ]

Excuse me.

[ She politely addressed him. She didn't want to speak too much but at the same time she didn't need to ask questions unless they were mildly even interested in helping her or not. ] May I inquire about...this location?

Sorry about the slow, I'm moving atm.

[cruxified]

Yes?

[He lifts his head, returning the soldier-like, stoic stare. You're not the only kuudere around here, Tear.]

This is the Astral Plane. [His voice isn't completely flat; it's dark and rich, though it lacks personable warmth.] It's a realm accessible by certain people from different worlds as part of an experiment. Notably, the management can be contacted through the strange shop you may have encountered. Meredith is the one most are familiar with.

You can travel freely between the Astral Plane and your world by thinking of them, but as long as the shop remains in your world, you are still subject to the experiments and oddities of this place.

No worries. I am plenty slow myself~!

[yuliafonichymns]

[ Tear could tell that he wasn't a normal human by any standards. His soldier-like stare and his posture was screaming that he was from some form of military or trained strictly to react the way he did. No she wasn't but she wasn't expecting to find someone with similar traits as her so soon. ]

The Astral Plane. [ She mused letting the words sink in. So this was not Auldrant at all just as she assumed. She didn't seem to be fazed by his tone much less his lack of warmth. She was not expecting anyone to be friendly, and she would keep her posture and be polite since she was the one asking for information int he first place. ]

So in short, this place draws people as part of an experiment. I will keep that in mind. Perhaps this Meredith person can provide more details. [ if he doesn't give her enough that is but this seemed plenty. ]

...

[ That would explain the small boy and his desk. That was out of place earlier but she she seemed to put that aside earlier. It made a lot of sense now that she was being told about it. ] A strange

[pactum]

[Oblivious to Tear's presence, a derpy, lanky blonde is being assaulted by monsters-- okay, not really. He's sitting down in the middle of the Plane, feeding a rabid fluffbeast a salad wrap.]

You like this, right...?

[yuliafonichymns]

[ Tear notices that the boy was surrounded by monsters but it didn't seem like he was being attacked. More importantly she was about to lose her controlled expression when she noticed the fluffbeast that he was trying to feed. Was he talking to it? She stopped briefly but didn't say much. She just kept glancing ]

[pactum]

[The bunny thing makes some happy squeaky noises as it devours the food Emil gives it. He smiles and rubs it between the ears.]

I thought so...

[Something prickles at the back of his neck, like he's being watched. He glances over his shoulder and sees someone... vaguely familiar.]

Oh! Um, hi there!

[The Cotton Tail tilts its head and watches Tear as it eats.]

[yuliafonichymns]

[ Why must she be tormented with these girly feelings? It's very difficult to keep her composure when there were things she liked straight in front of her. Not that she would rudely go and touch it or something but it seemed to draw her.

The strange boy caught her staring and maybe there was a moment of embarrassment before she clouded it over and picked up her stoic mask once more. ]

Hello.

[ She spoke briefly with a small nod of acknowledgement. There were quite a lot of people here. What a cute fluffy cotton tail..... ]

[yuliafonichymns]

[ She turns around hearing the familiar voice and keeping her guard up at the same time to make sure it wasn't a trick. She started to lower her guard when she did see Jade though. The maiden was relieved to at least see one of her companions unscathed. ]

Colonel Curtiss.

[ She mused briefly as she started to approach him. ]

[yuliafonichymns]

[ Tear gives the Colonel a serious look unsure how to take his question. It sounded like he wasn't expecting her to be here and for what reason would she want for being here? She would like to know the answer to that question actually. ]

I'm afraid I am uncertain of what you mean by that Colonel Curtiss. I did not have much of a choice for being here. It simply just happened.

[servidude]

[He hasn't seen Tear in a while, either here or back home. The greeting he offers is a casual, friendly wave as he steps over to her--he hasn't noticed her unsettled look.]

Hey.

[yuliafonichymns]

[ Tear turns around to hear Guy's voice and with the same reaction she always had to people approaching her. She was a little tensed as well. He seemed cheerful like always not that it was a bad thing. She was relieved to see him as well. ]

Guy. [ A nod of acknowledgement as she approached him clouding over her pained expression again. ]
