[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.

[lamb_of_gold]

Trouble at home?

[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.

[contract_star]

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

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

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


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


And of course I will.

[lamb_of_gold]

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

[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?

[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.

[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.]

[contract_star]

If it were me, Mao would do the logical thing.

But... [Sighs.] I'm sick of it.

[contract_star]

...She's dead.

[Catches that, Misaki.] Maybe.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

...what?

[lamb_of_gold]

So be the better man.

I wish I had some sage advice to impart, on how to overcome such feelings, but it seems I've none, I'm sorry.

[contract_star]

A few hours ago. [Pause.] I was there.

[contract_star]

[Just snorts at that. It's amusing for several reasons.]

It's fine. Just...damn it. Why does it have to be Amber?

[buckingbronco.livejournal.com]

What happened?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[...of course you were. Touches his hand lightly; an invitation for contact.] Then she was lucky.

[contract_star]

[Wraps his hand in hers.] I suppose.

[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.

[lamb_of_gold]

Acquaintance?

[mercwamouth]

Someone's in serious mode.

[contract_star]

[Sharply,] She was with me in South America, until she betrayed me and annihilated my entire team. She's the reason Bai disappeared.
