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.

Want me to bring you something from home?

[contract_star]

[Tiny smile.] That would be great. Although, um...it might be difficult to eat like this... [Shifts in place.]

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

... Right. I should get a knife or something. [drops from the Plane]

[contract_star]

[Just chills while he waits for Ikki to come back.]

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

Miss me? [Ikki returns with a giant bowl of ramen, because the servants in Diva's house are used to this.

And a utility knife. He sets to cutting the zip ties.]

[contract_star]

[ajkfdlajkfl HEI IS GOING TO MISS THAT D:]

You're a lifesaver.

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

[Yes he is. DON'T LEAVE US, HEI] I know. [Zip zip, and Hei's free.]

[contract_star]

[Relieved sigh as he rubs at his wrists a little before ATTACKING the bowl of ramen.]

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

[Ikki frowns at the enthusiasm, then decides it's a good thing and laughs.]

[contract_star]

[HEI ALWAYS HAS THIS KIND OF ENTHUSIASM FOR FOOD. And, well, he hasn't eaten in probably 12 hours now BUT IGNORE THAT PART.]

[Finishes it off and sets the bowl down.] Excellent, as always.

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

Want any more? I dunno how much will slow you down.

[contract_star]

Ah...one more bowl might be helpful.

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

Got it.

[He pops off the Plane and returns a minute or two later with... three bowls. :3 One for him, this time.]

[contract_star]

[EEEEEEEEE. Positively beams. And says nothing, because there are no words.]

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

[Nope. Only eating.

Ikki will never be able to beat Hei's appetite.]

[contract_star]

[Lol, nope. Digs in to his own food.]

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

[Ikki's still eating pretty fast, buuuut. There's a reason Hei has two bowls instead of one this time. Ikki takes twice as long. LOL.]

[contract_star]

[LAWL. 3, 2, 1 and done!] Ikki, how did I ever survive without you?

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

Mphm.

[a pause, and he swallows]

Hot chicks. They're good for mooching off of when you don't have an awesome friend like me.

[contract_star]

[Chuckles.] I suppose they are.

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

So... when do you plan on coming back? I'll save you some cake or something.

[contract_star]

[Stares at the empty bowls. Is this the last excellent meal he's ever going to eat? D:] I'll...try to come back right away. As soon as Yin and I escape. But...it's going to depend on a lot.

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

... You can do it.








Especially if there's cake at the end.

[contract_star]

[Slight smile.] Cake is a good incentive.

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

Yep. Best there is!

[... besides girls in general.]
