[If someone had blinked, they might have missed it. One minute there was nothing out of the ordinary to look at, and by the next a wormhole had dropped Asch in a heap on the ground and tried to consume a bit of the nearby landscape as payment for its services.]

[Asch was still breathing, as a matter of fact, though he seemed a little worse for wear. Being transported from one end of the universe to another tends to do that to a person.]

[[OOC: What do I even call this? "SpaceAdventures!Asch"...? He's gonna retain all his memories from his former game. I still have a month paid left and ughhh...]]

[ That's not alarming at all. ]

Asch?!

[claim_my_place]

[Of course not.]

[He's out. Somewhere far, far away he hears Meryl's Natalia's voice, but he doesn't know where it's coming from, whether it's real or a dream...]

[royalscored.livejournal.com]

[ Oh Lorelei. Meryl quickly gathers up some Seventh fonons into a healing spell. ]

O Soothing Light... Heal.

[claim_my_place]

[That seems to help. Asch stirs, his fingers twitching a little, shifting dirt aside -- a clear indication he's sprawled on the ground somewhere.]

(Cocoaphony? ...No.)

[With a grunt, Asch makes an effort to pull himself to his feet.]

[prismshards]

[ With your gracious permission, the ground upon which the wormhole spits Asch is already occupied by one Dreck fon Cheesehead. One moment he was alone in his happy place, wondering what he should do for dinner tonight, and then next something freaking heavy was deposited on his lap with the force of a ten-ton cheagle going "AAAAAAATTAAAAACK!!!". ]

[ Or at least that's how it felt when Luke's gut was nailed by his original. ]

--OOOOF!

Sorry bb, he is going to kill you. You should have eaten a big lunch.

[claim_my_place]

[WHUMPF!]

[It was like slamming full force into Van's prized organ -- only not quite. It was also enough to at least partially jar Asch to consciousness. He groans and tries to open his eyes, but the sunlight hurts too, and he shuts them again almost immediately. Actually everything hurts right now.]

A-at least he got to be helpful;;;;

[prismshards]

[ Upon being slammed into, Luke was jerked upward then promptly fell over moaning about body parts he didn't know the meanings for. He'd have kept rolling in the grass had a glorified paperweight not been pinning him in place. ]

Auuugh... Who dropped the load of bricks...?

[ After a bit of awkward turtle flailing, Luke has the sense to shove at Asch without realizing it's him. ]

He does make a decent throw pillow.

[claim_my_place]

[Asch sucks in a breath and tries to open his eyes again. The light's still blinding, but he squints against it and tries to make out something. Anything. That voice... He knows that voice.]

[He doesn't want to be hearing it. B|]

[And then there's an unwanted shove. Well that does it. Asch is still unable to pulls himself up, but his temper at least seems to be just fine.]

...Kn... knock it off!!

[sacred-flamer.livejournal.com]

[Lucky for you, Asch, there's a long haired redhead standing in your way, ready to be a pillow for you. Espada!Luke looked up just in time to see Asch tumbling out of the wormhole... and stepping aside at the very last second to let him eat dirt.]

Nice entrance, Asch.

[claim_my_place]

[How is that lucky?]

[Asch is still very much unconscious. If he hears the dreck's voice he tries hard to ignore it. Luke's not supposed to be there.]

[sacred-flamer.livejournal.com]

[He's definitely going to hear him, as Luke can only communicate via telepathy.]

[He stepped forward, glancing down at him. He paused a moment, before nudging at him with a foot as gently as he could.]

Wake up, Asch.

/okay my bad

[claim_my_place]

[Well that wasn't going to work. On the ground, Asch grunts. In his mind, things are finally starting up again, working more normally, and doing a whole lot less spinning around.]

[Wait. Why the hell is he hearing the replica's "voice" this way? Asch is one part indignant and three parts angry.]

Get out...

[soaringblast.livejournal.com]

[It's on thing to find yourself awake in a place you're not entirely familiar with, but it's another to have a giant hole in THIN AIR open up and swallow a nice, juicy chunk of the place you're not entirely familiar with. As if Anise wasn't confused enough already, she lets out a high-pitched shriek and bounds away, only to stop when she nears something make a decent smack against the ground. It's only out of sheer curiosity that she turns around to see a mess of red hair.

Red--Luke?! Anise holds her breath, then scrambles over. Was it really him? But Luke was--it'd been months! He did promise but Anise never thought he'd actually come back!

So imagine her face, when it's not Luke, but Asch she's kneeling beside, staring dumbfounded at and reaching out to push back his bangs, more to just ascertain if he was actually there or not.]

Sorry so short.

[claim_my_place]

[That face might have made a softer heart ache, but Asch's isn't all that soft, and he's unconscious besides.]

[But he's there all right. After a moment his frown deepens and his eyes start working behind their lids as if he's trying to wake himself up.]

No worries!

[soaringblast.livejournal.com]

[It's the movement that really makes her recoil her hand, and stare again. Asch was there. Asch was alive! But Luke said...Luke said he died. He had said Asch had swords thrust through his body, yet here he was, and not even bleeding. Wait--Luke! Was Luke back, too?! Anise looked up, expecting him to pop up as well, but a voice seemed to shout right in her ear. Focus! Someone else needs you now.

Anise reached out and shook Asch's shoulder gently, her voice cracking as she spoke.]

--sch...Asch? W-Wake up.

[claim_my_place]

[Asch groans finally. His body aches all over, but nevertheless he tries to move. By shifting one arm, he can tell that he's laying on the ground somewhere. He tries opening his eyes, but the light is too bright after having been in darkness for an unknown amount of time, so he shuts them again and focuses on sitting up instead.]

[That voice sounds familiar, too.]

:'(

[mykimlasca.livejournal.com]

Asch! Goodness what happened..

D: ?

[claim_my_place]

[Asch might answer if he were conscious. It's a good thing Asches likewise have Natalia-radars installed, because he just might be vaguely aware that he's not alone.]

[Having a not!girlfriend with healing powahs is very convenient, especially when you charge recklessly into dumb world-saving stuff. This one wasn't his fault, though.]

what else can happen to you asch? :( poor kid get yourself a break.

[mykimlasca.livejournal.com]

Goodness, what did he get himself into this time. So reckless.

[sexy-ringmaster.livejournal.com]

[Oh snap! Noir was just wandering around, minding her own business when the Asch was suddenly dumped in front of her. Meanwhile the rather pretty garden that she had been admiring had been taken by the invisible force. ]

...

[Leave it to Asch to make an entrance like that and not even be awake for it. Sighing softly, Noir bent down and gently shook his shoulder. Making sure to keep an eye out for any wounds that may be visible.]

Hey kid, are you ok?

[claim_my_place]

[Asch stirs, blinking his eyes slowly, but otherwise doesn't try to move. That voice sounds familiar, but he hasn't heard it in months. He's not so happy about being shaken about, though.]

Nnn... Noir.

[sexy-ringmaster.livejournal.com]

[Once he opens up his eyes, she stopped shaking him. So far he looked ok, but she wanted to make sure. Noir definitely didn't want to loose her main source of income.

Taking an apple gel from her pouch, she held it up to his mouth.]

Yup it's me♥ Open up, I have a gel for you.

[nearlysenile.livejournal.com]

[I could have had a nice squishy replica for you to land on, but... nah. Have an older!Jade. He's just going to kind of watch the wormhole suck up the surrounding landscape from a safe distance until it was gone and he was sure it was safe to move ahead. Well, well... Did he just see a redhead come through? It was difficult to see from here, honestly, so he'll just waltz right up and--]

My, my. What have we here? [Jade knelt and quickly inspected Asch's body for any injuries, somewhat relieved when the other didn't seem to have any external injuries, though that didn't bar internal ones.] Can you hear me, Asch?

[claim_my_place]

[How thoughtful of you.]

[Asch could just barely make out Jade's voice about the ringing in his ears. He guessed it figured that Jade would be there. Afterall, it was Guy and Jade who had pretty much taken charge of the replica's group after Luke and Tear had "vanished". What had happened to him anyway? Knowing the nature of the SS Thor and its Infinite Improbability Drive, it could have been anything.]

[With a grunt, Asch sought to move, though it proved more difficult than usual, as if everything were going in slow motion.]

[nearlysenile.livejournal.com]

[He'll take that grunt as a "yes."]

[Hm, hm, now where was that gel bag...? There we go! He'll set that aside for now until Asch was a little more aware.] Do you feel pain anywhere? [He wasn't about to start poking and prodding him if he didn't have to. He's not the TSA, after all.]
