044: Death and All His Friends

[contract_star]

[Hei appears on the Plane in a simple wooden chair, his wrists zip-tied together behind the back. He seems to be unconscious, slumped forward in the chair, hair hanging in his face. He looks half-dead--battered and bruised and dusty. Blood is drying at his hairline and near his nose.]

[A moment goes by, and then he opens his eyes and sits up rather abruptly, shaking his head and sighing in annoyance. It's clear that while he's obviously been in a fight, it's not as bad as it first looked. He looks around the Plane.]

...Mostly according to plan...sort of.

[Excuse her. While she tries very hard. Not. To flip. A shit.]

[contract_star]

Oh. Henrietta.

Ah...I'm alright. I actually expected this to happen.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

Mostly sort of. Well. That is an improvement. [Hi-ho handy dandy switchblade, away. :| ]

[contract_star]

I expected this to happen. [Sighs in relief as his hands come unbound, godDAMN does it suck to be tied with zip-ties.]

[lamb_of_gold]

Mostly.

[contract_star]

It's...not as bad as it looks.

[Chris watches for a moment, then... quirks a brow. Moving over, he rests his hand very lightly on the zip-tie and phases it from around Hei's wrists. He's sort of worried, but watch as he covers it up with sarcasm!]

You mean this isn't exactly what you'd planned?

[contract_star]

I planned on getting caught, actually. This place is very convenient in that respect.

[Ahhhh free.] Thanks.

[madamemoiselle]

...Hei...

[contract_star]

[Oh shit.] Diva...I'm alright, really. I had to act like I'd been knocked out, otherwise they wouldn't have left me alone.

Hei-san...?!

[Immediately drops and fetches the first-aid kit, but then kneels behind Hei and works on the zip-ties with the knife Kougaiji gave him. It may be worth noting he's got another shiny bruise on his face since the last time they'd spoken.]

[contract_star]

I'm fine. I told you I planned this, didn't I?

[ Hei is likely feeling a bit of warmth at his hands, as Angela quietly attempts to melt the plastic off with a small and contained fire spell. ]

[contract_star]

[Tries to look over his shoulder but owwie.] Angela?

...You got your magic back.

....[Wordlessly cutting the ties with his switch-blade]

[contract_star]

[Tries to look over his shoulder, but owwwwie.] Dino...?

Thanks.

[.................]

[contract_star]

[Ohhhhhh shit.] I'm alright. Really. It's not nearly as bad as it looks.

[Juni's expression: o_O, She would be fiddling with the ties now] what happened?

[contract_star]

They caught me, like I planned.

{Placidly, but Shiki is not going to come forward to help.}

It seems like your plan has a few holes.

[contract_star]

Not as many as you might think.

[mercwamouth]

Not exactly an elite tactician, are ya, Napoleon?

[contract_star]

Actually I planned for this.

[Crowley walks over, saying nothing. He eyes Hei for a while, circling around the chair, then comes to a halt right in front of the other man. Behind the sunglasses his face is an unreadable mask.]

[contract_star]

[Hei gets increasingly wary as Crowley circles around and comes to a stop. It's not lost on him that Crowley could do whatever he wants to Hei right now. It's also not lost on him that the last time they spoke, Hei blew up rather dramatically.]
