[Hei is just sort of wandering the Plane, looking more down and confused than most people have probably ever seen him. Why is that? Because everything he understands about the way his world works has been questioned. He's gotten used to things getting questioned because of all the nice people on the Plane, but this is very different.]

She can't have a justified reason. It can't be possible...

Something is amiss? [It's really not a question]

[ghostlighter]

[HI, HEI. You should feel honored. This is the first time the Griever has really been around the Plane much — he's taking a breather from a night patrol by gliding around, but he sees someone who seems to be in an odd state. So! He lands and tilts his head kind of concernedly. As a note, his hair is blond and his eyes are glowing red and he just does not generally look like his civilian form at all.]

You okay?

[the Master, ever the prick, shows up to torment Hei :D] Having a problem?

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

Li? You alright?

[buckingbronco.livejournal.com]

[It doesn't take much to see something is wrong] Hei? What is it?

[contract_star]

[Long pause.]

Something...happened back home.

[lamb_of_gold]

I don't suppose you'd care to discuss it.

[contract_star]

[The second he sees the glowing red eyes Hei tenses and draws his knife, the confusion and misery disappears under a cover of deadly calm.]

Who are you?

[ghostlighter]

[... What. Griever takes a half step back and narrows his eyes.]

The Griever.

[contract_star]

[Hei tenses and stops walking.]

[contract_star]

Ikki...

[Waves his hand.] Ah...I'm alright. There's just some unpleasant things going on in my world.

[contract_star]

[Takes him awhile to answer.]

Some...unfortunate things have happened in my own world.

[contract_star]

[Glares right back.]

How did you get here?

[contract_star]

Not really. It's...my problem. I'll handle it.

[ghostlighter]

I thought about it, and I was here. [Gives Hei's knife a glance.] I was under the impression that's how it is for everybody.

[lamb_of_gold]

It still distresses me to see you like this.

[demnify.livejournal.com]

[:D] Cat got your tongue?

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

Wanna talk about it?

[contract_star]

[Loooong silence.]

The Syndicate is trying to wipe out every Contractor in the world. And...apparently Amber has been fighting them all along.

[Vague flare of anger.] But it can't be true. She wouldn't...

[contract_star]

[Relaxing just a little, since he hasn't made a move to attack yet. Then again who knows what his power is, so...]

You're American. CIA?

[contract_star]

St...stop. Please. Not now.

[contract_star]

Not really.

[ghostlighter]

What? CIA? [A scoff.] Hell no.

[lamb_of_gold]

If you've proof of this, I'd call you a fool for ignoring or disbelieving the truth because you've a grudge against her.

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

Then let's talk about somethin' else. I'm fine with that. How's the Air Treck thing coming?
