039: You're Only Going Through the Motions, Baby

[contract_star]

[Hei is here with a small patch of grass and his telescope. The telescope is propped up nearby and he's lying on his back in the grass, staring up at the Astral Sky. He has an unreadable expression.]

Hard to believe. They're really real there...

[He sighs.] The servants and the...concentration camp kind of put a damper on things, though...

Concentration camp? There's a concentration camp in your Japan? What are real?

[contract_star]

It's not mine. It's Diva's. But I don't know why it's there. It just...sort of appeared.

[Shit. Good thing he thinks on his feet.] ...Vampires.

[Frown. She doesn't quite believe you, Hei.]

[Like you're suprised to see him here :/, Mu sits nearby, but says nothing]

[contract_star]

[After awhile,] Mu, when you left Jamir after all that time...how did you deal with all the... [Frowns.] The...I don't know. Normalcy.

[lamb_of_gold]

I set a routine and carried on as best I could. I adjusted.

[STAAAAAAAARES at the telescope] What's that?

[contract_star]

[Looks over at Isaac.] That? You've never seen a telescope before?

[curious Flonne is curious!] What are you talking about, Hei-san?

[contract_star]

Oh, hi Flonne. Ah...which part?

[Ikki flops down nearby.]

You look pretty down for a guy mooching off the richest and most beautiful girl this side of the Milky Way.

[contract_star]

I wish I wasn't though, that's the problem.

[Pause.] Can you see it? The concentration camp?

[swanseer.livejournal.com]

[Slight frown] I guess... The stars?

[contract_star]

The stars, yes.

There's a part of my reality that's merged with someone else's. The stars are real there.

[madamemoiselle]

{Sits next to him silently, pulling her knees up to her chest} If you don't want them to come, then just tell them. I told them that you're a person they need to listen to.

{A pause}...But...You can see it? Is that all?

[contract_star]

It's not that they're bothering me. Just...I've never had...I've never even imagined having servants. Even if they're technically yours. It's...unnerving, I guess.

[Turns his head to look at her.] Is there more?

[stronguponme.livejournal.com]

[Standing behind him]

Concentration camps. There's a term you don't expect to hear at random.

[contract_star]

[Tilts his head so he can see Jackie.] No, I suppose not. I don't know how it got there.

[didorothy]

Your merge with Diva's been progressing, then.

[contract_star]

Can you see it, too?

[buckingbronco.livejournal.com]

Concentration camp?

[contract_star]

It's Diva's, I think. It wasn't there a few days ago.

[doctorate.livejournal.com]

. . . What was that about a concentration camp?

[contract_star]

I seem to have acquired one. I think it's Diva's.
