[Hei is not happy. For one thing, Diva has died. For another, his latest mission has taken a turn a turn for the very Not Good. All of this has kind of put a damper on the Plane returning to normal. He's pacing back and forth and muttering to himself.]

Amber again. That bitch. Why Mao?

And Wei, the goddamn cockroach. Damn it.

[He looks up at the stars and nebulae and galaxies.]

Now of all times...

[Feels like frost just rolled through her stomach. Before she can stop herself--] Be careful.

[contract_star]

[Glares at her a moment before turning away.] Right, I'm sure this is old news to you.

[Pauses, then,] Sorry. I'm just...not in a good mood. I'll be careful, don't worry.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[...oh ow. She steps away.]


[Quiet and cold,] Of course you're not.


And of course I will.

[contract_star]

[Quietly,] I'm sorry. Everything that's happened with the Plane lately, and then Diva, and now this...I'm tired of it all.

[After awhile,] I guess this means it's starting, right?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

Diva? [Oblivious]

Possibly. [Clasping her hands behind her back.] Your reality... thanks to all of this. Is probably--possibly--different.

[BAD LIAR LAWL.]

[lamb_of_gold]

Trouble at home?

[contract_star]

Mao has been captured by Amber. [Hei wants to punch something.]

[lamb_of_gold]

I suggest you calm down before you attempt a rescue. [Well you can try~]

[contract_star]

[Hei wouldn't punch Mu anyway~] The Syndicate wants us to abandon him, and so does Huang.

They're probably right. It's the logical thing to do.

[lamb_of_gold]

I doubt that will stop you.

[buckingbronco.livejournal.com]

What happened?

[contract_star]

One of my team members has been captured. By someone I... [Trails off and grits his teeth.]

[buckingbronco.livejournal.com]

By someone you already knew?

[contract_star]

Amber. I...I knew her in South America. [Murderous glare at nothing in particular.] She's the reason my sister disappeared.

[buckingbronco.livejournal.com]

Does she have a grudge against you or something?

[mercwamouth]

Someone's in serious mode.

[contract_star]

[Brief pause to stare at Deadpool.]

Someone on my team has been captured.

[mercwamouth]

That sucks. Seems like being your acquaintance is dangerous business.

So Mao? What's she all about?

[contract_star]

[That gives him pause.] I never said it wasn't.

Mao is male.

[mercwamouth]

...Y'see, that's my big problem with you animated asians. You guys are a "Crying Game" waiting to happen.

Anyway, what's he all about.

[durch-feuer.livejournal.com]

Ah~ Troubles at home right after we get the chance to return. {Smiles} How unfortunate for you, sir.

[contract_star]

[Stops and stares at him a bit warily, since Hei has never seen this guy before.] It is.

[Forces himself back under control. He puts on a neutral face and then sighs.] It's nothing I can't handle. I just needed to vent, I guess.

{What can I say? With the talkative vampiress out of commission, this is an excellent chance for me to get my characters out more. Oh, and more opportunities for Dietrich to be a dick, but...} Mm, that makes sense. Now that that timing nonsense is back to normal, it makes a good place to here.

[contract_star]

It does. I'm glad things are back to normal.

...I don't think I've met you before. [Vague smile.] I'm Li Shengshun.

[durch-feuer.livejournal.com]

{Gentle smile} It's nice to meet you, Li. Though, no, we haven't met. I can't say that I come here too often, though.

My name is Dietrich von Lohengrin. It's a pleasure.
