[Hei appears on the Astral Plane, momentarily bewildered until he notices what is around him. Galaxies, planets, and stars, countless stars. The sight makes him stumble, and he can't take his eyes from the glow.]
N-no way...
[Looks around, no longer attempting to keep his face expressionless. Shock? Amazement? Horror? Wonder? There's no one here to see him being so irrational, emotional, so it doesn't matter.]
Stars...real stars...
[Think, you're a Contractor, be rational. There's a logical explanation, must be.]
No, no, this is impossible. This can't be real. Am I inside the Gate? Is this...? But I was miles from the Gate...unless I never left...then was everything since then just an illusion? Damn it.
If this is the Gate I have to get out. But it's...something's off. It doesn't feel like the Gate.
[Fiddles with his earbud] Mao? Huang? ...Yin?
[No answer. A long pause, nothing but silence. His gaze eventually returns to the stars and nebulae wheeling around him.]
The Twins and that woman. The shop. Contractors, I bet. They've either trapped me in the Gate or this is some kind of illusion. Shit.
[Another long pause, eyes half-lidding as he stares at the starlight. Whispering,] They look so real...

I'm not sure... Maybe we're in outer space!
[looks thoughtful, and then shakes his head.] That wouldn't work... There's no oxygen out there. We'd be dead.
no subject
You've never heard of the Gate?
And these stars...we shouldn't be able to see them at all, except inside the Gate. Because these are real, aren't they?
...
Except you don't seem to be as...as shocked about that as I am.
no subject
Well, I've been here for about a week. I guess I'm used to it.
[pause.] I'm still figuring things out though.
no subject
It's called Hell's Gate, and it appeared in Tokyo ten years ago. No one knows what it is, except that it's...chaotic, impossible. Scary, I suppose.
[A pause.]
When it appeared, the true stars disappeared. Now all the stars you can se are fake.
no subject
Well, that doesn't sound very pleasant.
This place sounds like it's a lot nicer than Hell's Gate... [Leaves out the whole "but last week, the Twins accidentally let monsters loose and we had to destroy all of them" thing.]
no subject
Hm, no, it's not very pleasant. But it's there, and we have to deal with it.
It is pretty nice here...it's good to see the stars again.
no subject
Yeah, if everyone just tries to think positively about the whole situation, it might not be so bad.
no subject
Heh. Maybe.
no subject
At least, until we find out what's going on. [have another :|]
no subject
No doubt.
