And over on the other side of the DR....

[And clear over on the other side of the DR, shortly after astracera's arrival, a young silver-haired boy of no more than fourteen or fifteen fighting a group of monsters with...a boomerang? After he finishes fighting off the creatures he looks around, blinking at the sudden new surrounding.]

Light? Where are you?

[He looks around as he wanders down the hall, starting to look very confused.]

Great....

Rikka! Where have you been?! You're not supposed to be out of bed!

[lcies-hope.livejournal.com]

[He shakes his head and puts his boomerang away.]

[she's going to come closer and try to put her hand on your forehead to feel your temperature]

Mama's gonna be so mad that I let you get sick!

That's okay ^_^

[Siiiiiiiigh.]

What am I going to have to do to prove I'm not who you think I am?

[Trying very hard not to get annoyed, but wondering where Lightning is has got him a little on edge.]

[daddyhasagun.livejournal.com]

[it's not until she gets closer that she realizes you're really not her brother, since you feel different and all]

.............................. you're not my brother.

[Hope shakes his head with a soft laugh. How could she figure that out anyway?]

That's what I was trying to tell you.

Anyway, have you seen a woman, about twenty or twenty-one, about this tall--

[holding his hand about seven inches above his head t o indicate how tall Lightning is]

with pink hair and a gunblade?

[daddyhasagun.livejournal.com]

... the only person I know with a gunblade around here is a Leon, but he's sorta grumpy. And not a girl.

[wait a second...]

Oh! You're probably new here then. This isn't where you think you're supposed to be. This is the dressing room.

[lcies-hope.livejournal.com]

The....what?

[Confused Hope is confused. Even more so than before.]

[daddyhasagun.livejournal.com]

Dressing room! This is a place that brings people from other worlds and dimensions. We can't leave either. It's like a trap.

[lcies-hope.livejournal.com]

We...can't leave?

[daddyhasagun.livejournal.com]

No... at least, not when you want to. Some people get to go home, but no one knows how. They just disappear. Or you might go home for a bit, then wind up back here again.

... Daddy said that even if you die, you come back here.
