Skylar: Computers are strange. So are those... Things that are used for transportation. Cars, I believe they are called? And- *abruptly stops, and appears to be listening* Oh no. Era's sending Joseph in, she says she wants to learn more about him before Camp Nano... Rhino or something like that. *runs towards one of the doors and attempts to get it open*

Skylar: *still trying to get the door open* Nope. I'm... Leaving... Why won't it open?? *a different door opens, and Joseph walks in. He has dark brown hair, chocolate brown eyes, and a charming smile. He's wearing medievalish clothes, and a brown vest over a white long sleeved shirt* Joseph: Hello? What's going on?

Girl: I'm Liesl. *she sees Adel and runs to her.* What is this place? Who are all these people? Adel: It's kind of in-between place. I can't really explain. They're all friends. And we are actually in a story. They come from different stories. Liesl: What?

Lyra: *To Clara* Don't worry, my transcriber hasn't brought in any more of the characters she's written for yet, besides yours truly - and unless Procyon breaks the wall down, I doubt that she'll invite anyone else. Some of them have some seriously disreputable behaviours like dueling, and she doesn't like to handle too many of us at one time. Besides, I should probably go at some point here. *considers this, then sticks hands in pockets and leans against the wall* Then again, since Procyon shouldn't be able to break the wall down, I just might stay. *To Joseph and Liesl* Hi and welcome.

Clara: Grettings people who have just barged into the room. *To Lyra* The Arista has a bad habit of having LOTS of characters in rooms like this. Like, me and Andrew are the lowest number she's EVER had. Usually it's no fewer than four.

Liesl to Adel: Are you sure it's okay? Adel: Yes, I'll introduce you to some people. This is Clara and Andrew. You'll like them. *to Clara* This is my sister Liesl. She's afraid of large groups of people. Liesl: I am not. Well not very. Don't listen to what my sister says. She doesn't know what she's talking about.

Clara: People are scary. You should fear them. That's why I have a sword, so I can scare them off.

Liesl: Are the people really dangerous enough for you to need a sword? Who exactly are all of you? I couldn't make any sense of what Adel said.

Clara: Of course. You should always watch your back, because you never know when someone's going to stab you in it. There are all sorts of scary people and creatures about, like crazy old women who look young because they have creepy dragon powers... Andrew: Clara, stop scaring the poor child. *Gets off the couch and goes to stand next to where Clara is sitting, crosses arms over his chest.* There are scary people in the world, Liesl, I'll give Clara that, but for the most part, people are nice. Though, at your age, you would do well to be cautious and let your parents or some other older person you trust help you decide who is friendly or not. Clara and I have these swords because we're a Water Princess and Fire Prince, and are expected to protect a whole island of people from the Lady Dragon. You don't have to worry about that.

Liesl: I know that there are dangerous people. Someone needs to tell Adel that though. She never listens to Mother and recently she ran off to a fair with a stranger. I'm afraid she'll do something else stupid. You don't look like you're very old either. Maybe not as old as me.
Adel has gone to a corner talking quietly to Finnis.

((How old is Liesl? When you described her, I somehow got the image of a 10 or so girl in my head))

Liesl: I'm actually almost eighteen. Adel is just seventeen. I thought you might be about that. We don't get to be with people very often, so I'm not great at guessing. Do you know who that is Adel is talking to?

Clara: Him? I'm assuming it's her love interest. So, one of your own characters from your own book. Andrew: I believe his name is Finnis.

Skylar: *manages to get the door open and dashes through it, only to come through a door across the room, dejected looking.* *flops down on a beanbag chair, scowling* Joseph: *looking around in complete and utter confusion * Skylar? What just- you- Will someone please tell me what's going on?

Lyra: *To Clara* Therefore, it's more or less likely that Laura will come? *laughs* My transcriber probably envies yours - four characters in a character chat room at once? Seriously? *shakes head* *To Liesl* Hi, I'm Lyra. Lovely to meet you. Don't pay any attention to Clara, even though I was just talking to her, because she appears to be rather grumpy as a rule. *To Joseph* Right now, you are in a character chat room. I don't know if you're actually real or not, since I haven't been to your world, but somewhere - *glares at the ceiling* - there are people called authors who know everything about you and write your whole life story in something called a book. Or a scroll, depending. All of us here have different authors - or transcribers, if you're real - who aren't here, and are directing everything that we're saying. That's it, basically. *pause* I take it that you and Skylar are from the same world?

Liesl glares across the room at Finnis and Adel: Oh, I see. He's the rascal she ran off with. We have to stop them from talking. *she starts walking across the room and then stops* what'll I do?

Clara: *To Lyra* I honestly have no clue. The Arista has been threatening to send Laura - and Petra, the protagonist of our sequel, in here, but I don't know when or if she's going to make good that threat. *to Liesl* I could get their attention for you... *Holds up left fist, ring glinting* Andrew: Clara, no. Clara: A little blue water never hurt anyone. Could use purple, though ...

Lyra: *grins* Well, if Andrew has problems with you getting their attention, I could do it...
*Wall beside Lyra breaks open suddenly, bricks flying everywhere. A huge black dragon crashes through, then dissolves into a young man, about 17 years old. He brushes his black hair our of his face, sending clouds of brick dust into the air and revealing deep brown eyes and a glare. He's wearing all black, and more visible weapons than anyone else in the room.*
Lyra: *a bit breathlessly* Or, you know, Procyon could get their attention. Maybe he can break walls after all.

Liesl to Clara: If you can do something to stop them that might help. I don't know. I'll try calling her. Adel, come here now, please. *Adel looks up and then comes.* What do you want? Liesl: You shouldn't be talking to him. Adel: Why not? *she looks around* What was that?

Joseph: *still confused* Of course I'm real. Yes, Skylar and I are from the same world, I think. What do you mean by "world"? Are they just another name for countries seperated by huge expanses of water? If we sailed far and fast enough, would we get to where you're talking about?

Lyra: Real is a matter of perspective, in the cases of characters from stories. Worlds are different places in a vast place full of universes, and no, you could not make it to 'where I'm talking about' by sailing. That would take time travel, and it's generally unpleasant so I don't recommend it. But anyway, each universe contains an unknown number of worlds, some of which are inhabited, unless you're from the 3rd Universe, which only contains one galaxy with life in it. Some worlds, like in the 3rd universe, are round - others are flat, square, triangular, you name it. Some of them don't have a defined shape at all. The point is that they have life on or in them, and we happen to be some of those life forms. Speaking of life forms, are you fully Human?

Liesl steps backwards towards the wall. Adel steps in front of her. Finnis pulls a thick staff out from somewhere and takes a defensive position.

Andrew: *takes a step forward, raising left fist, sword held ready* Tell me, Dragon, what is your intent, are you friend or foe? Are you like that Amber, a sorcerer of Dragon magic, or something else entirely? I assure you that we do not fear fire or claw, or any other terrible magic that you could unleash on us.

Swithin: *glances over to Andrew and then back to Procyon* *then, because he knows all too well what it's like to be the odd one in a group, feared, or threatened, he steps forward and bows to Procyon* I am Swithin. *straightens and smiles slightly at Procyon*

Peter: Hello to you, Dragon/person. And hello, Leisl and Joseph. *stands up and walks to Procyon* Welcome to the crazy Character Chat Room, where Clara seems to be bent on destroying everybody's delusions. *to Clara* Don't worry, my author does not wish to send anyone else from my world into this room.

Procyon: *coldly* I am Procyon, son of the Star of that name and a Mortal. My business is none of yours, but I am not a friend or foe of any of you. Except Lyra. I'm here to get her and take her back to Skycraft Academy, if you don't mind - and even if you do. *turns quickly* Lyra, who are these ruffians? *To Swithin and Peter, a little less rudely* Greetings, Swithin. Greetings, Peter. Thank you for your welcome. Although some of the wording in Peter's welcome was somewhat dubious.
Lyra: *quickly* I'm not going. And anyway, it was seriously impolite of you, simply breaking down the walls and intruding in the room without being invited by our transcriber. What would Sirius say? More to the point, what would Sirius do?
Procyon: Yes, you are going. I'm not controlled by Lei, no matter what she thinks *scoffs* and Sirius would have quietly taken you into another dimension, which I can't do. Then again, he tries to do everything in the shadows, so he might have chosen to sneak in here and drag you off without permission.
Lyra: Here I thought he was your role model. You might try copying him by being moderately nice to these "ruffians" before "dragging me off."
{Side note from "transcriber": My characters all know me as "Lei" - not my real name though. Obviously. It'd be dangerous if one of my more nasty characters decided to come looking for me and happened to know my real name.}

Lyra to the rest of the people in the room: Honestly, if you aren't scared of Procyon, you should be. *Procyon smirks. Lyra smacks him.* But he's not going to kill any of you - I think - so don't worry. He also is very nice when we make him - and since I can force him to turn into a tiny lizard and stick him in my pocket, *glares meaningfully at Procyon* he will be very nice.
Clara and Andrew, calm down. Promise, you don't have to fight this Dragon and he's not like what's-her-name from your world. Anyway, he shouldn't be. Finnis, put that away. You're going to smack someone with that if you're not careful.
