[There's a high school-aged school wandering on the plane today, her schoolbag clutched tightly in both hands, dangling in front of her while she examines her surroundings. Her neck is craned backwards at an awkward (and possibly somewhat uncomfortable) angle so she can stare up at the star-patched sky, bushy hair falling haphazardly down her back

[Oliver hurries over to her with a friendly wave, spotting the typical uncertainty of a newcomer] Hey! Um...this isn't a dream. I know it's weird, but welcome to the Astral Plane!

[ticktocktower]

[The enthusiasm nearly startles her, and she takes a step back in surprise before she realizes he clearly means well... and a small, weak, and somewhat sheepish smile works its way onto her lips]

-- thank you! Ah... I guess you see stuff like this often?

[oliverplus]

[his smile catches; he didn't mean to startle her. his tone is gentler when he replies] Yeah, I've been here for a while. I'm Oliver--Oliver Day. How about you?

[ticktocktower]

[She relaxes a bit more and nods]

I'm Aoko. Aoko Nakamori. It's nice to meet you, Day-san.

[oliverplus]

[makes a face] Oliver's fine! Nice to meet you, too, Aoko. Have you seen the brochure about the Plane yet, or can I help you out?

[ticktocktower]

-- Oliver-san! [It might take her a bit to drop the honorific, she was raised to be polite, after all]

I read the brochure, so I know a little bit. But I guess... [A beat] I still have a few questions.

[oliverplus]

[he can live with that. he nods eagerly] Yeah? Like what?
