[ 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

[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..... ]

[pactum]

[He's reminded of Sheena. Just a little bit. The monster jumps up into his arms, and Emil hardly seems to notice. He looks at home, really.]

I'm Emil. [He smiles.] And... this is Blanc.

Are you lost...?

[yuliafonichymns]

[ Tear doesn't know who Sheena is but if he says so. She watches carefully as the monster jumps into his arms. ]

Pleased to meet you...Emil. I am Tear Grants of the Oracle Knights Intelligence Division.

[ Yes she was obviously lost....and he seemed to figure it out pretty easily. Not that she was worried. There was no reason to hide anything. ]

Yes...it seems I've found myself here without a reason.

[pactum]

It's nice to meet you, Tear. I've never heard of the Oracle Knights. [Her mana signature reminds him of Jade, so he doesn't ask her if she's a half-elf. It seems nicer, though... almost like it's humming. It's a little distracting, but Emil seems like a nervous case anyway.] You don't really look like one, though. Ah, I mean-- a-all the knights I've seen wear tons of armor. And they're really loud. Y-you're the complete opposite of that...

[He straightens a bit. The bunny in his arms flicks its ears in Tear's direction.]

So you've never been here before? This is the Astral Plane. I'm not too good at explaining things, but it's kind of like a dream world inside of a machine. You only visit here when you think about it, and you can go back by thinking about home.

[yuliafonichymns]

I assumed that we are not from the same... 'World' per say. It is a military division from my home. [ Tear was unaware that he was able to read her signature. If he could provide any information for her she would appreciate it very much. At least she met another person that was quite civil. She wasn't sure if there were hostile people here but there was always a chance. ]

I suppose it's not required for me to wear tons of armour. It is a hindrance to my movement and I can easily be killed wearing such heavy armours when doing missions that require stealth.

[ She replied almost softening her gaze at his thought about what knights were like. ] However, I can still assure you I can do just as much as a Knight clad in armour. We've all received almost the same training.

[ Oh dear...she's trying so hard not to touch it. She's tempted but she was focusing on more important things...damn cute things making her feel completely unprofessional. ]

No, I have not.

[ She took note that no one was lying to her at this point. They all seemed

[pactum]

Y-yeah. Of course. Most people here are from different worlds. The person I'm traveling with can come here, too, but for a long time she didn't understand what I was talking about. [There's a few other people Emil recognizes, too, but they must be from different worlds. Either way, he can't grab the Richter from his world and talk to him about it.]

Ah... that makes sense. If you had a big suit of armor, there's no way you could sneak into someplace. Unless you stuffed it with cotton or something so it didn't make any noise... [... Emil has ditzy moments, too.]

It's not really a dream, though. What happens here is... real. [He looks away, touches his arm out of insecurity.] There are a lot of good things about this place. You can make friends you couldn't make otherwise, and the food never runs out, and the library is really big, and you can have all the time you want to think or work on things.

But then there's the experiments.

[yuliafonichymns]

I see.

[ Tear hasn't met anyone she recognizes yet but she still hoped that she would find someone that she could trust having her back. Having her companions with her were crucial and since she didn't know where they were, it made her slightly concerned with their well-being. ]

Yes, I suppose that is what I'll have to manage to do if it ever comes up. Fortunately I do not have to wear such things.

[ It's alright. Tear isn't always serious either....so yeap. ]

It feels real enough. That isn't too bad...

[ her face hardened at that statement. ]

What about experiments?
