041: Hey, It's Just an Ordinary Day

[contract_star]

[Hei appears on the Plane in a nice armchair, a coffee table and a widescreen TV. There's various plates of half-eaten food on the table that Hei is slowly working through, as well as a stack of papers with handwritten notes on them. Some of them look to be notes about cars again, but there's also some scribbles with a few Tokyo districts written down, as well as what look like details about them.]

[For now, though, Hei seems to be preoccupied with what's on the TV. Namely, I Love the 70's. 1974, to be exact--and even more specifically, the segment on The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Deadpool got Hei to watch I Love the 80's, and Hei decided to follow up :|]

Killing someone with a chainsaw wouldn't be very efficient, though...

[Ghost of a smile.] ...You're welcome.

[A beat, then,] I suppose this means you're going to be avoiding me again.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

... I should be.

[contract_star]

Are you sure about that?

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

I don't know. ... I was.

I think... I'd be alright with it, if only because I would be able to let go and.. disappear, as it were, if the cards affected you. But... [Shakes his head a little.]

[contract_star]

If you disappear, you'd better expect a fair few of us to go after you.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

But that's exactly why I can't... I can't just stick around.

[contract_star]

You can't avoid this place forever.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

Maybe not... but the people here... That's a bit easier, at least.

[contract_star]

You can try.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[He nods, but doesn't say anything.]

[contract_star]

[After a moment,] Do you want to watch this with me?

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[Just... blinks at him in surprise for a moment.] ... Eh?

[contract_star]

Well, it's kind of boring watching something by yourself, right?

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

I suppose that's true, but... [Glances behind himself, as if he might actually have somewhere to go, even though he really doesn't. He just doesn't think it's a good idea.]

[contract_star]

Really, I don't mind. This is pretty interesting. I hadn't heard of, well, any of this.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[Gets... a little closer, and looks at the screen for the first time.] ... Ehhh?

[contract_star]

That's The Texas Chainsaw Massacres. Isn't it strange?

[Disappears for a moment and comes back with a second squishy armchair for Ryo.]

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

Mm.

[... Hei, you make this way too tempting. He shifts, and considers sitting down. Then tells himself it's a bad idea. ... but he still considers it anyway.]

[contract_star]

I'll let you have some of this. [Indicates the food. Hei is a manipulative bitch.]

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[Ffffft... Wavers just a little longer, then comes over and sits down silently.]

[contract_star]

[Beams!]

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[Hesitates, then gives a small smile back.]

[contract_star]

[Slides the table down so Ryo can dig into the stuff Hei hasn't already attacked. Hooray I Love the 70's!]

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[Considering Ryotarou was born in the late 70s, all of this stuff isn't as foreign to him as Hei might actually think. As it is, Ryotarou starts to nom at the offered food while watching the show in some sort of baffled awe.]
