[hello, Astral Plane. have a Gene Hunt. a very unhappy Gene Hunt. and he's every right to be, really! one of the scumbag child molesters he put away about six years ago is out on parole and there's whispers on the streets, but nothing even he can justify sending people out for. it's put him in quite the mood.

he's also rather peeved he's got a Cheetah person following him around, but let's not get into that

so! anyone who's interested? the Guv is currently sitting at the bar, which has been miraculously restocked since exploding, nursing a pint of bitter. because it's what he does]

I'm just wandering. Sorry.

[theguv.livejournal.com]

What crawled up your bum?

[contract_star]

[Raises an eyebrow.] What?

[theguv.livejournal.com]

You look like you're about a shit a rooster, that's what.

[contract_star]

[Lopsided smirk.] Your way with words never fails to amaze me, Mr. Hunt.

I've just got a lot on my mind.

Nothing a good pint won't fix. [offers him a tumbler] C'mon then, ain't got all day.

[contract_star]

[Amused sigh.] Alright, then. [Sits down and accepts the tumbler, pouring himself a drink.] I don't do this often. [Takes a sip.]

[theguv.livejournal.com]

Your loss. [drinks from his own]

[contract_star]

Mm. [Stares into his glass and is silent for quite some time.]

[Then, finally,] The bracelets were my doing.

[gives him a look, then reaches over and grabs him] What the bloody hell for?

[contract_star]

[Doesn't react to being grabbed.] They were supposed to dampen their hypnotic powers--keep them from using people as weapons. And to buy time to try and find their weakness.

[theguv.livejournal.com]

And all you did was piss 'em off and make it worse for the rest of us, you bloody nonce.

[contract_star]

...Maybe. But they haven't killed anyone since then that I've heard. [Sharp glance at Gene.] And they haven't hypnotized anyone, either.

Anyway, it hardly matters now.

[gives him a dark look, then tosses him back down] No, s'pose it don't. You lucked out this time.

[contract_star]

Lucked out? No. I'm only telling you because they've found out. There's no reason to keep it a secret anymore.
