(OOC: from Up, Up and Away in Terminus)

From the mists to the south flew a small cartoon creature. It appeared to be some sort of aeroplane, with a smiling face above its nose, bright blue wings, and a purple propeller mounted on a swivel at the back. Its body seemed to be made of a sheet of paper folded in complicated ways. On some surfaces, large round handwriting was visible. A letter i had a smiley face as its dot.

The letterplane looked around, surveying this new place it had found itself in, and while it looked through the streets for a person to speak to, it seemed to be muttering to itself:

"Jessamin and Jonathan Jones. They live in a pub. Ask people if they know where Jessamin and Jonathan are. Stay out of reach of people until you find the right ones."

The letterplane spotted a person walking along one of the streets, and swooped in closer. Remembering his instructions from Abigail, he stayed what he judged to be a safe distance away and said "Hello! Do you know Jessamin and Jonathan Jones? They live in a pub!"

"What will that strange Harlequin fellow think of next?! A talking kite, I ask you!" the grey man muttered to himself.

"Sounds like you want the Court. Head up that way, and past the clock." He gestured towards the clock tower.

He stomped away, still muttering and shaking his head at young Charismocrats today.

"Thank you!" the letterplane called after the man, and loop-the-looped enthusiastically up over the roofs in the direction indicated. He flew up past the clock tower, looking for something that might be called 'the Court'. He was somewhat hampered in this by having no idea what a court was, and so he flew gaily on over Chimera.

A tall building loomed in front of the plane.

However, the colourful diamond floating above a nearby rooftop was the more distracting.

The brightly coloured kite naturally attracted the attention of the Toon letterplane. All of these shades of grey weren't natural anyway. He adjusted his course, and headed towards the kite.

The string of the red and yellow kite was tangled around a spiky metal thing. The letterplane could see that if he just pulled there, it should come undone.

The letterplane, forgetting its mission for a moment, fastened its mouth around the string and tugged. The kite was free! And it was the only thing the letterplane had ever seen (apart from Abigail) which looked right. Plain, flat, bright colours. No shadows or half-tones or textures. The letterplane felt happy, and flew onwards, holding the kitestring in its mouth.

Soon, the letterplane, with its kite, approached the northern wall of mist. Remembering its experience in Terminus, the plane flew enthusiastically straight into the mist. And continued flying into mist.

For some time, the letterplane flew around in the mist, and eventually found his way back into the edge of Chimera, where he will continue to fly around, and occasionally call out "Jessamin and Jonathan Jones? They live in a pub?", as well as questioning any people he comes across.
