SIM BRIEF> Last time we arrived on Muir Island, Ethan gave us a little tour of the Muir, we saw a little of the younger patients. While checking up on the injured X-Men, Moira’s colleague Dr. Essex came to tell us that one of the students had awaken.
>>SIM START<<
SCENE> MUIR ISLAND RESEARCH CENTER, SCOTLAND. MOIRA HAS BEEN HELPING PATCH UP THE X-MEN IN THE INFIRMARY AFTER THEIR MISSION. ELIZABETH BRADDOCK WAS PLACED DOWN ON A BED. DR. ESSEX ENTERS THE DOORWAY.
<Dr. Essex> Moira.. it’s David, he’s—
<Moira> He's wut?
<Rogue> ::closes her mouth, having been about to say something before Dr Essex stepped in::
ACTION> WHAT LOOKS TO BE A WOLF/HUMAN HYBRID IS THROWN DOWN THE HALL, PASSED THE DOOR, SHE HITS THE FLOOR WITH A LOUD THUD AND A WHIMPER.
<Rusty> ::previously moving towards the door, now stands to the side of it as Essex enters::
<Alex> ..::looks out in the hallway:: ..David? ::looks to Dr. Essex::
<Warren> ::eyes open suddenly, he blinks as he turns his head towards essex:: ((He'd better be planting tulips in the gar--)) We're under attack?! ::pushes off the wall with a start:: 
<Kitty> ::looks back and fourth between Moira and Essex, blinking::
<Dr. Essex> Awake! ::moves to care for Rahne::
<Rusty> ::looks outside the door:: ((thought I heard something...))
<Rogue> ::blinks at the flying wolfish hybrid:: ...
<Jason> :::Looks up from a chart::: Talk about your incoming patient policy. :::Sticks his head out the door:::
<Sydney> ::Looks at the hybrid, then at Essex and Moria.:: Awake?
<Moira> Och keich. ::motions to the others:: Come on, bairns. Ye gotta get outta here. ::moves out into the hall::
<Rusty> ::runs down the hall following Essex:: what happened?
<Warren> ::moves out into the hall, looms over moira, muscles taut and ready to spring into action:: What're we dealing with, Doctor--the condensed version, please? 
<Essex> ::mutters:: You guys did.. it would see like.
<Cyclops> ::gets off the bed::
<Voltage> ::Frowns, a deep scowl on his face as he sees Rahne thrown across the room, looking in the direction she was thrown from:: ...Crap..::Narrows his eyes:: Well, this could be bad.. ::Looks towards Moira, frowning and taking a step to follow::
<Rogue> ::utterly confused stare at Moira, hesitantly stands up:: 
<Rusty> ::confused look from Essex to Rahne:: ((what was that supposed to mean?))
<Moira> Nathaniel, get the kids outta here.
<Alex> Just what're we looking at, here? ::moving slightly toward the hallway, glancing to Moira a bit perplexed, though determined::
<Jason> :::Looking utterly confused::: What did we do this time?
<Moira> ::looks towards Warren:: Mah son... he's awaukin'
<Kitty> ::hops off of the bed she was sitting on:: We can't, like.. help?
<Sydney> ::Follows after the others, not running but to keep listening.:: What the do you mean awakening?
<Rusty> I hope she's ok... ::looks up and to the others:: ..hey, wait up! ((where are we going)) ::jogs to catch up::
<Jason> :::Looks around::: Uhm...okay...and what's the big deal about this?
<Essex> ::nods, helps Rahne up and goes to gather up the younger kids::
<Rogue> ((He's walking? ...Huh?)) ::trails after the others::
<Moira> He feel intae a coma when his powers manifested. C'me with me.
<Kitty> ::strides after them, looking around as if hoping to catch a glimpse of.. something::
<Moira> ::moves down the hall, opposite the way that Essex is moving::
<Cyclops> Kitty, Shadowfox. Help Doctor Essex get the others out.
<Cyclops> Get back ASAP.
<Jason> :::Nods, looking to Essex::: Guess I'm at your disposal. So, who first, Doc?
<Rusty> ::jogs up next to Sydney:; one thing after another with you people isn't it?
<Sydney> Aren't you going to be with your son? ::Calls out.:: I have no clue...
<Alex> ::looks to Scott:: Call off Warren, it's too close-quarters for him to use his wings, and if that thing can throw people around like that, his fancy ninja crap isn't going to do squat..
<Kitty> Sure thing, Scott! ::turns and walks back over to Essex and Jason::
<Rogue> ::looks at Scott:: Ah don't understand... what's goin' on?
<Sydney> Shouldn't folks be happy...? that their child is awake? ::Mutters briefly to herself.::
<Voltage> ::Moves to follow, shaking his head:: There's more to this, really..Uh..Maybe we should call chuck, Moira..Assuming you haven't already thought of that, I mean..
<Essex> In here. ::opens the door:: Edie, Kyle, Artie, Guy, Robert. Go with these nice people. I'll go help the others out.
<Moira> ::nods to Ethan:: Please do that f'r me.
<Warren> ::blinks, unconsciously going through the motions even though he's ready to pass out:: How can you think of chicken at a time like this?!
<Sydney> ::Speaks to one of the passing ghosts, trying to find out what's going on.::
<Moira> ::to Rogue:: Ye huv tae help me sedate mah son.
<Voltage> ::Nods:: You got it..::moves in a hurry, to head for the Comm Center::
<Rogue> ::stares at Moira:: ...Ah'm sorry, what??
<Rusty> ::continues to follow:: are we going back outside?
<Cyclops> We have to help her sedate her son.
<Alex> ::sighs to himself:: ((Way to go, Alex.. picking a time like this to try and make Scott happy..)) ::undoes his ear and eyebrow piercings, quickly removing his nipple piercing with the precision of someone who's used to them, dropping them all in a pants pocket:: ..Tell us what we need to do, Doc.
<Rusty> Can't you just give him a shot or something?
<Sydney> Sedate?
<Jason> :::Smiles to the kids, motioning to himself, then to Kitty::: I'm Jason and this here is Kitty. If you'll follow us, we'll make sure you're alright.
<Rogue> ::brow furrowed, keeps following::
<Warren> Isn't that a bit extreme? Can't we just give him some cookies and milk and put him back down for his nap? 
<Sydney> I've got to agree with him on this case.
<Kitty> Think the door was.. back that way, right? ::motions down the hall towards where they came in from outside::
<Moira> ::shakes her head slightly:: Ye dunnae know this boy.
<Rusty> I know some good stories...
<Jason> :::Nods, then begins walking towards where he remembered the door was::: Let's be quick 'bout it.
<Rogue> What's... wrong with him? ::nervous glance around::
<Alex> ::twitches and sets his jaw, walking toward the hallway where Warren is and where Rahne was thrown:: ((...goddamnit))
<Sydney> What's wrong with him that you have to treat him like a wild animal? ::Says harshly.::
<Rusty> He did throw that wolf girl down a hallway like a rag doll... 
<Kitty> ::waits long enough to walk at the back of the merry little group of kid mutants, periodically looking back over her shoulder::
<Voltage> ::Rushes into the comm center, moving for the comm device, quickly trying to dial in to the Institute:: ((C'mon, c'mon..pick up, pick up!))
<Moira> See for yuirself. ::moves towards the psyche ward door:: Be wary. He's a telepath an' got some telekinetic abilities. ::puts her hand on the door::
>>ELSEWHERE<<
SCENE> PROFESSOR XAVIER SITS IN HIS HOTEL ROOM PREPARING HIS STATEMENTS FOR HIS NEXT ENGAGEMENT ON HIS LAPTOP.
<Xavier> Hmm.. ::types out a few things:: Yes...
<Xavier> ::takes a sip of his tea as he places the cup back down on the table, sighs:: ((If only they would have taken a more indirect approach. Fighting off an entire police force..)) ::frowns::
ACTION> THE CELLPHONE ON THE TABLE, TO THE RIGHT OF THE LAPTOP RINGS.
<Xavier> hmm? ::answers the phone:: Hello?
<Voltage> Chuck? It's Ethan. We've got a serious problem, here..
<Xavier> ::furrows his brow:: ..On Muir? ((Moira..)) What is it?
<Voltage> Well..It's David..he's awake..and I don't think he's in a very good mood.
<Xavier> ::both eyebrows raise:: David.. awake? Ethan, I will be there as soon as I can.
<Voltage> It'll definitely be appreciated, to say the least..the others are going to try and sedate him, now.
<Xavier> Be careful.
ACTION> XAVIER ENDS THE CALL AND QUICKLY DIALS UP HIS PILOT.
>>BACK ON MUIR ISLAND<<
SCENE> AS THEY ENTER THE PSYCHE WARD, THEY SEE A YOUNG MAN, ABOUT THEIR OWN AGE, FLOATING IN THE AIR, VARIOUS INSTRUMENTS FLOATING AND CIRCLING AROUND HIM.
<Rusty> That's... sort of neat... 
<Moira> Ack. ::looks up at her son::
<Alex> .. ..::eyes David:: .. ..so how're we playing this, Doc?
<Warren> Yes--if your tastes run toward, The Excorcist.
<David> ::a grin slides over his face:: Oh, hey mum. An’ who’re your little friends, more of th’ little freaks that yer tryin’ to replace me with? ::grits his teeth, eyes close for a second::
<Rogue> ::warily puzzled look at the floating guy:: ((..He seems... angry.)) 
<Sydney> ::Whinces, reconzing the bitter tone, very similar to her own towards her own family and her current situation.::
<Cyclops> Alex, you take out objects as they come at us.. I'll help you out with that.
<Moira> It isnae like that, David, an' ye know that.
<Warren> Freaks--we're not the ones levitating the miscellany of the room around ourselves. 
<Rusty> I'll just stand right here... for now. 
<Cyclops> Warren. ::shakes his head:: That isn't going to help.
<Rogue> ::sideways glance at Warren:: ((Jean did that... you didn't call *her* a freak...))
<Cyclops> Sydney, Rusty, stay back behind us.
<Sydney> Warren! Don't you even have a milogram of human empathy!?
<Moira> ::shoots Warren a look::
<Warren> I reserve that milogram for people who don't hide behind their genetics like a shield. 
<David> ..no. 
ACTION> THEY FEEL DAVID GLANCE ALONG THEIR MINDS
<Alex> ::eyes narrow, raising his arms and concentrating:: I'll do what I can, Scott.. Warren, Syd, now is NOT the time. ::lets out a blast at an object that comes near them::
<Rusty> ::looks around:: whoa.. what was that?
<Rogue> ::freezes, eyes widening slightly:: ...
<David> These’re pops children. Even better. ::grin returns::
<Jason> :::Tries to find the door from earlier::: ((God, I hope I didn't just get us seriously lost.))
<David> ::eyes narrow at them:: Yer the reason that he lef’ us…lef’ me to rot on a hospital bed!
<Rogue> ... ((The Professor's his dad? Ah didn't know the Professor had a kid...)) ::stares at David, nervously::
<Cyclops> ..::eyes widen:: ..what?
<Cyclops> You're the profess--
<Moira> David! Yer faither left tae help those like ye.
<Rusty> ::steps back slowly:: ... ((why would the professor leave his kid here and go help other ones instead?))
<Warren> ::winces, and grits his teeth as he tries to resist:: That--was a psionic probe. He read us as casually as the Professor could, if not more so. ::clinches his fists:: 
<Alex> ::furrows his brow, quietly grunting:: ((..it's like tickling, in the sensitive parts of my mind.. ..with a rusty rake..))
<David> And just leave us here?! Stop sticking up for him!
ACTION> THOSE ITEMS THAT WERE CIRCLING HIM ARE NOW BEING TOSSED AT THE X-MEN: NEEDLES, SENSITIVE EQUIPMENT, DRAWERS, JUST ABOUT ANYTHING THAT ISN’T NAILED DOWN.
<Jason> :::Stops for a second, giving the kids a friendly smile, then looking around::: ((She couldn't take the time to properly label the exits? Lord, I'd give anything for a sign.))
<Cyclops> Down! ::starts blasting the biggest things out of the way of hitting the others::
<Rogue> ::shields her face with an arm, throwing the other out to shield anyone who happens to be standing behind her:: ...
<Sydney> ::Pensive frown.:: ((David, I know what you're feeling...)) ::Dodges some of the items.:: ((The person who you respect so much leaves you... forgets you...))
<Warren> ::drops to the floor covers his head, then tries to crawl along the floor, inching towards david:: 
<Rogue> ((Ah don't understand... why is this guy here? Why does his mother talk about sedating him? Why doesn't the Professor have him at the mansion with the rest of us..?)) 
<Kitty> ::rubs at one of her arms, looking at the kids:: Uhm, say, you'd all know where the door is, right?
<Alex> ::drops to a knee, concentrating to blast at the objects, eyes narrowed::
<Jason> :::Sighs, then keeps going down the hall::: The guy pointed this way, so there's gotta be a door down this way.
<Rusty> ::ignites into flames, trying to duck objects::
<Artie> ::nods, an arrow appearing over his head pointing towards the exit::
<Kyle> ::Starts to pad out in front of the others::
<David> ::cocks his heads towards Sydney:: Do you?
ACTION> THOSE IN FRONT (ALEX, SCOTT, ROGUE) ARE HIT BY SMALLER INTRUMENTS, AS ALEX AND SCOTT DO THEIR BEST TO STOP THE LARGER ONES.
<Kitty> ::adressing Artie:: Thanks! Maybe we can, like.. borrow the jet and go get ice cream, too. ::obviously joking::
<Warren> ((Selfish, little prick--at least his parents are still alive to make mistakes.)) ::inching towards david, very angry:: 
<Jason> :::Scratches the stubble on his chin::: Ice cream would actually be nice at this point.
<Sydney> ::Nods.:: Yes... bitter anger, utter rage. And you feel small, very small... ::Shivers, remembering thoughts and memories.::
<Alex> Alright, David, you want-unh-to tell us what's wrong, go ahead. ::blasts at a bedpan:: We're *grunt* not going anywhere..
<Artie> ::smile brightens, a picture of an ice cream cone appears over his head::
<Rogue> ::tries to help block the smaller instruments from hitting Alex and Scott, so that they can concentrate on the big things::
<David> ::..listens to sydney.. nods slightly.. turns his head to glare at Warren:: MY father may as well be dead!
<Rusty> ::tries to incinerate any smaller objects coming at him::
<Voltage> ::Moves to enter into the Infirmary, quickly trying to dive for cover to dodge implements:: Holy shit!
<David> ::lands, the instruments part to give him space as he moves towards Warren, smirks:: What do you care about your parents? They didn't like you anyways. All you did was get in their way while they tried to do more important things.
<Rogue> ::confused tone, to David:: Have you ever... asked the Professor if you could live at the mansion?
<Alex> ..::glances to Rogue:: The Doc said he's been in a coma.. ::blinks and looks back, hurriedly blasting at another object::
<Warren> ::glances up, then quickly scrambles to his feet and glares at david:: You don't know anything about me, you selfish, little prick. Now stay out of my head! 
<Jason> :::Opens the exit, motioning the kids outside::: Thank God. Thought we'd never get outta this place.
<Moira> ::picks up a syringe after searching.. moves towards David::
<Rogue> Well he obviously ain't, now... ::helpless shrug:: ...Ah thought Ah'd ask..
<Sydney> You’re not alone, David. There are so many that have been abandoned by family, friends... but that anger... you can’t let it control you or become you... it’s happening to me too, David...
<David> ::pushes Moira away from him, tkly:: Mum, you too now? Y' want me t' go back t' sleep, eh?
<Rusty> Yeah... its pretty selfish of you to think you're the only person in the world with problems.
<Cyclops> This isn't working.. Alex! Focus on him. Rogue get the Doctor outta here.
<Kitty> ::waits 'til all the kids are outside before moving through the door herself:: ((Now what? Is there another building out here we can put them in, or will we really have to get on the jet?..))
<Moira> No! ::tries to pick herself up off the ground:: Dinnae hurt him! He's jist hurt an' confused! We must get him sedated!
<Alex> ::eyes narrow:: Scott, he's going to get himself hurt, I hope to god he's trying to be a diversion.. ::concentrates, bringing his arms to bear on David and lets loose a blast:: ..otherwise he's just being a dick who's about to get fucked up
<Rogue> ..::nods slightly and moves for Moira:: Ma'am, Scott won't hurt him... come on outta here...
ACTION> THE NEEDLE THAT WAS KNOCKED OUT OF MOIRA'S HAND AS SHE GOT KNOCKED BACK FLIES AT SCOTT AND NAILS HIM RIGHT IN THE LEG.. THE SEDATIVE IS INJECTED INTO HIS BODY.
<David> ::bemused look:: Like that, mum?
>>SIM INTERLUDE<<






>>INTERLUDE END<<
SCENE> BACK TO MUIR.. CYCLOPS WAS JUST HIT WITH THE SEDATIVE AS ALEX'S PLASMA BLAST HITS DAVID'S TK FIELD.
<Scott> ..Shii-- ::eyes start to get droopy as he starts to slide down to the floor:: Can't.. give.. 
<Sydney> ((In the end, you will only hurt yourself if you keep down a path like this... after all isn’t that what’s important? Happiness? Hurting people... it doesn’t do that, not something that lasts.)) ::Tries to lock her gaze with David.::
<Rogue> ..Scott?! ::eyes widen, turns away from Moira:: 
<Cyclops> ::passes out::
<David> ::smirks, looks at Rogue:: What’s the matter? You act like I just took out your leader or something. ::chuckles::
<Jason> :::Walks over to Kitty, muttering quietly::: So...uhm...what do we do with them? Babysit?
<Warren> You think this temper tantrum is going to solve anything?-- ::shields his eyes as the energy ripples around the shield and recoils from the heat, raising his voice to be heard over the crackle of energy:: --That it's going to make anything better? It's just going to make him hate you, David--to reaffirm every reason he had for leaving you here to "rot on a hospital bed."
<Voltage> Shit! ::Looks over towards Cyclops:: ((Crap..he's a telepath..he already knows who to take out first and how to put us at our weakest..this is not good..)) David, don't fucking do this, man! This isn't the way to deal with this kinda bullshit!
<David> {{Well live for the moment I always say}}
<Rogue> ::clenches her fists:: What did you do to him?!
<David> ..::clenches his teeth.. tkly picks up Warren by the throat::
<Kitty> ::murmuring back to Jason:: I'm not sure.. guess that's all we can do, y'know?..
<Jason> :::Shakes his head, looking at the kids for a moment, then back to Kitty::: Guess you're right. 
<Rusty> ::slowly extinguishes the flames around him:: oh shit.. ::tries to get close enough to pull Scott out of the line of fire::
<Sydney> ((David! Please! He's not worth that. He's a bigoted person, but death is not an answer for anyone. I don't like him as well.)) ::Keeps low, ready to dodge anything thrown at her.::
<Rogue> Stop! ::glares at David:: Leave 'em alone! 
<Alex> ::eyes widen:: ((aw fuck..)) ::moves in front of Scott, trying to blast at the floor underneath David::
<Voltage> ::Shoots a look towards War getting lifted by the throat:: Damnit, look, David..I'm telling you..this isn't going to help, at all. Trust me, I know, man! Read my thoughts or whatever you have to do. I've lived with what my parents did, all my life, just like you have!
<David> <Moira> ::moves to check Cyclops' pulse:: He's fine.. it was jist a sedative.
<Warren> ::claws at the invisible force at his throat:: Y-you--coward... ((Can't breathe, won't give him the sastifaction of being afraid.)) 
<David> ::smiles:: {{Don't worry, Warren. I already do. But you're not the one that I want.}} ::slams Warren against the wall::
<Alex> ::eyes dart, searching look:: ... ((how much does he care about his mother?))
<David> Where's Daddy's Boy Scout?
<Rogue> ::bites her lip, skirting around the room toward where Warren is:: ((Shit... ))
<David> {{Sydney please. You understand why I'm doing this.}}
<Rusty> well, he's in the way where he is.. ::tries to pull him to the side of the room::
<Voltage> ::Eyes go wide at David's question:: ((Shit! Aw no..)) ::Moves to try and run towards Scott, in an effort to try and put himself between Scott and David:: 
<Sydney> ((I don't want my father to die... I want to do better than him, I want to prove him wrong. I can't do that if he's dead... You're better than a killer, you're better than this!))
<David> ..::laughs:: Man you guys're too much. If I had friends I wish they weren't as stupid as you. ::pushes Voltage and Alex out of his way, walks over to Scott and picks him up, with aid of the TK::
<Rusty> ::steps back as Scott levitates:: ...
<David> {{Well I guess that's where we differ.. He must suffer what what he did to me and mum.}}
<David> ::clenches his jaw:: I should snap yer bloody neck.
<Rogue> ::to Warren:: Are you al-- ::goes silent, paling at the tableau:: ((What does he... )) ...--right?
<Sydney> {{You haven't done it, we're on the same path. You have a choice...}}
<Alex> ::stumbles and lands on his ass, grimacing:: ((think, Alex!)) ::raises his arm at Moira:: ...Do it and I take your mom as collateral damage...
<Warren> ::collapses to the floor, gasping for air, ignoring the pain shooting through his wing which took the brunt of the impact, eyes focus on scott and follow his body, eyes settling on david:: ((Scott...)) Put him down, David! Leave him alone! ::pushes himself up to his knees::
<Jason> :::Sits down on the ground, shaking his head::: I wasn't trained for this. Why me?
<David> ::drops Scott back down to the floor:: I'm not going to do it now. Gonna wait until Pop comes.
<David> ::TKly turns Alex towards Warren:: Come on, do it Alex. You know you want to.
<Alex> Do you want me to, though? ::eyes widen, grinning:: You'll be all by yourself, then.. abandoned..
<Kitty> ::as she keeps an eye on the kids:: Hmm? 'S not like they're going to bite you or something..
<David> You slag him and he'll be out of your hair. You'll have your brother back.
<Rogue> ::grabs at a metal drawer that was knocked away earlier, hefting it and chucking it at David, hard::
<Voltage> Gah..::Gets shoved backwards:: Fuck..I didn't want to fight you, man..I know what you're going through, but I'm not just going to let you kill him or any of them. ::Hands crackle with electricity before he fires a blast at David's back, while he's dealing with Alex::
<David> ::Gets hit in the back by the blast:: Ugh! bloody hell! ::drops to the floor, and whirls around::
<Jason> Hey now, how am I supposed to know that. :::Gives a wary look at the kids:::
<Warren> ::forces himself to stand and face alex:: ((I won't meet my end like some sort of simpering sycophant.))
<Sydney> ((David, don't do this. One of us HAS to be stronger than the situation we are given... I can't be... I'm not going to make it when my time comes.)) 
<Voltage> ::Quickly fires another blast, trying to hit him, before he gets another shield up:: I really didn't want to do this, man..
<Rusty> ::tries to drag Scott away again::
<David> ::gets hit in the arm by the drawer, pushes Voltage away against the wall::
<Kitty> ::chuckles:: Because they don't look hungry..
<Jason> That's just the sort of thinking that gets ya killed. :::Shakes his head::: 
ACTION> THE SECOND BLAST MISSES DAVID DUE TO THE PUSH
<David> You broke my arm you bloody cow! ::growls as rogue's clothes start to burst into flame:: 
<Rogue> .. ::just screams::
<Alex> ..::eyes Warren, then tries to swing his arm back toward David's ankles and let off a blast::
<Rusty> ...fuck! ::takes off his jacket and rushes over to Rogue, trying to smother the flames::
<David> ::smiles self satisfied:: {{Sydney.. after all this.. you'll-- }} 
<Rusty> get on the ground and roll!
<Warren> Rogue! ::eyes dart around the room for a fire extinguisher and failing that, darts for the sheets on the bed and tackles rogue with them:: 
ACTION> ALEX'S PLASMA BLAST SUCCEEDS IN HITTING DAVID IN THE LEGS.
<Alex> ::gets to his feet, eyeing David then Rogue::
<Voltage> ::Grimaces as he slams against the wall, eyes and hands flaring with energy:: ((Ow..shit..well, at least I got his attention..)) ::Grits his teeth as Rogue gets set on fire, starting to make a move towards her, but stopping as he sees the others handle it:: Alright, you're not hurting anyone else..::Moves to fire a full on blast at David::
<David> <David> MY LEGS..!! ::tries to contain the rest of the plasma with his tk:: That’s it... I would like to spend some time and play with my little foster brothers and sisters on my terms..
ACTION> THE GROUP CAN FEEL A SHARP TUGGING AT THEM, AS THEY ARE RIPPED FROM THEIR REALITY AND PULLED INTO SOMEPLACE.. ELSE. THE NEW AREA IS BLANK, JUST A VAST EMPTY SPACE. DAVID APPEARS BEHIND THEM.
<Rogue> ::still screaming shrilly, commences struggling wildly, trying to shove everyone away:: ((ohgodohgodAhdidn'tmeanto)) 
<Alex> ::stomach lurches and tries to keep himself on his feet:: ohgodthat'sabadtrip ::blinks around, wondering if he's blind until he sees the others::
<Voltage> ::looks around, narrowing his eyes:: ((Oh fuck..this can't be good..))
<Rusty> ::rubs his head:: the hell? where... where are we?
<Cyclops> ::groans, looks around:: ((What is this..?))
<David> Welcome to my world. ::grins::
<Warren> ::astral self being an idealized image, wings are glowing and he appears much as you'd expect his namesake to:: I've been here before. This is--the Astral Plane.
