All right, I'll start.

My name is Daria-toren. I was born on Karn. Last week a robot named Jim Nightmare ( yonjuunana ) hosted a pizza party in the dreaming. For a short while a space carved out of the formless ether became host to a small group of jiko from all corners of existence.

They posted in a fury. A journal which normally landed only a handful of comments suddenly broke a hundred. I met the handmaiden of an exiled princess and a psychologist committed to the study of raw creation (rosencrantz ). I summoned a copse of trees, and a man from a thousand years in the future saw one for the first time. I traded notes on death and fear with a necromancer from the Sundered Kingdoms (galen_6thnecro ).

The wave of connection passed, and I was sad to see them go.

So this is a space to meet again. I call jiko, spirits, soulbonds, characters who've seized a life of their own, from all across the multiverse. If you are invisible, if you are lonely or bored, if you have spent your whole existence talking only to the one or two people who acknowledge your presence, come meet us here.

Any language, words or pictures or sounds or however you communicate, is fair game. What we cannot understand, we will learn.

Come join me in this place where it's all real.

Hey! Nice to meet you. :D I've got green nailpolish today, actually. Check it out! It sparkles! *holds up his right hand and wiggles his fingers* Also I'm not really sure if I count as a man yet. I'm still in high school.

*grins* No, batteries don't come in flavors. I wish. That would be awesome! I guess I didn't explain them that well. They're like... electricity. You know, same stuff as lightning. *thinks for a second* Does electricity have a flavor? I don't actually have a sense of taste, and I don't think I've ever asked anyone about that...

*looks nervous* What the hell is uza and why is it pouring off of me? I'm not sure if that sounds like a good thing or not. *looks around* Also I don't see any rainbows.

Re: Where is the party?

Damnit. It didn't work. The foreign words were supposed to define themselves.

Uza.

Can you hear it now?

What it means is you've got magic potential. On your world, do they say magic and science are two different things? ...Here, they're not.

Where I come from, you're a man when you hit fourteen summers. But I can call you boy if you like. *wicked grin*

I know lightning. Toren-touch is like lighting. When one person's shifted to toren form and tries to touch someone else. It jolts you. Throws you back. I better not go near you in toren. Don't know what that would do.

Maybe you could eat me like a sperith. *wicked grin gets wider*

But you can't see the uza here. You have to look into the ambient and not everyone can. It's like colors. You can't see them when you're an animal, but they're still there.

*grins back* Man? Boy? Can't we settle on a nice middle ground? How about "guy"? Sure beats "kid", which everybody and their mother seems to call me where I'm from.

Uza. Magic. Got it. In my world, they don't say that magic and science are different things. They say magic doesn't exist. And I'd agree with them... while I'm there. Here, sure! Why not? It's actually really cool to hear I've got uza. I saw one of those Harry Potter movies a while back and it freaked me out, er... technology goes near magic and it stops working or explodes or something. I was really hoping that being around all these magic-type people lately wouldn't mess me up. But if I've got magic, too... well, obviously I haven't exploded. So maybe it's not something I have to worry about.

...I'm starting to get the feeling that if I came from a world with magic, I'd definitely have some kind of magic power. A while back I learned that if I'd been created in another universe, I'd have fire and earth elemental powers. Man, that would be awesome! *grins* So of course I have to end up from the place where I have no powers whatsoever.

And yeah... that's probably a good idea to not touch me when you're toren. Probably wouldn't kill me, but a power surge would... Yeah, let's just not do that. I've managed to electrocute myself before, it's not fun. Kind of funny how running on electricity also makes you pretty weak to it. Hey, actually that's something I was wondering about. We're in the dreaming again, right? If we get hurt here, what happens?

Re: Where is the party?

[pyraxis]

Depends what kinda hurt. Someone tries to trap you here, you can get stuck, really stuck so you can't get back to the real world. But that takes magic and ritual. They have to magic your real body into a kifu - that's what they call it on Ua - it's like a little wood chest that's bigger on the inside than outside. Or there's other ways of doing it.

But someone blasts you with electricity here, you'd probably get sick in the real world, not know why. Unless you can believe it's not real - then it might not touch you. That's how come you can die in dreams and wake up ok.

Me, someone slices me open here, I'd probably be cut in the real world too, cause I cross the veil so often.

*Looks like he's trying very hard not to laugh, but again doesn't make a sound* B-bigger on the inside?! Wooden box? Please tell me it can travel through time as well...

Me: *pops in* You don't get to make any Doctor Who jokes either! I don't think anyone here would get it. And I thought you hated that show.

Jim: I don't hate it. It's just kind of upsetting sometimes. Anyway, it's not my fault if they've got some kinda magical Tardis! :D Now shoo! Get back to work! Let me talk!

Me: Hahaha, okay, sure. *disappears*

Jim: Um. Where were we? Oh yeah... I guess I'm pretty safe here, then. Nobody back home is gonna be magicking me into anything. And I die in dreams all the time and I'm fine. Although this is a lot different from the dreams I usually have, so... I'll still be careful, try to believe it's not real. I don't really- Since I'm a robot, I don't get sick. So who knows what would happen.

Re: Where is the party?

[pyraxis]

May I intervene here?

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!

Okay, that's better. Wow. That, um, never occurred to me. Kifu, tardis... *brain explodes*

I'm sure Daria hasn't a clue what you're talking about, though. :P

Re: Where is the party?

[yonjuunana.livejournal.com]

Intervene all you'd like! I'm just glad somebody got what I was talking about. :D

Re: Where is the party?

[pyraxis]

So what's a tardis, anyway?

*smirks, looking at Daria out of the corner of her eye*

I don't think she knew what to do when you started laughing. *wicked smile* Did you, Dar?

Re: Where is the party?

[pyraxis]

You got a point, Fiona, or are you just trying to pick a fight? Trust me, you'd lose.

*turns back to Jim* We've got history. But I didn't come here to fight.

*closes her eyes for a few moments*

Enough of that. Where were we?
