› THIRTEEN

[Chris is sitting at the bar, drinking a beer. He also happens to be wearing the computer-glasses Yasako gave him, and is surfing the web! Strangely enough, the main page he's looking at, which is a floating screen with similarly floating keyboard underneath it, seems to be on news in San Francisco (as opposed to, you know, Amity Park). He seems to be in a more melancholy state than usual, which could be due to the fact that he is once again a halfa.

Taking a swig of his drink, he continues to browse the page. Obviously, Chris doesn't really expect to be bugged while doing something so innocuous, which is why you should go ahead and do exactly that.]

How are you liking them so far?

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

[....beh?] You have those glasses now?

[ghostlighter]

[Err. 'Subtly' changes the page from the news site to something about a business tycoon. Work stuff. You know. Then turns to Yasako.]

I'm liking them a lot. They're really useful.

[ghostlighter]

[... changing the website now. 'Subtly'. Yes.]

Yeah. You've seen them, too?

[contract_star]

[Lurking and watching the screens, since he's curious.]

[coil-legacy.livejournal.com]

[Notices but she's polite, so she doesn't say anything about it.]

They are, aren't they? I'm glad you like them.

[ghostlighter]

[Click click click. He's just scanning the pages, not seeming interested in the general hubbub news. Hmm... mysterious and unexplained murders? Sounds possibly like a demon. About to click it, but—

He exhales, his breath being visible in the air, and turns to glance behind him.] Hei?

[ghostlighter]

[He nods.] ... Oh, that reminds me. Hold on. [He minimizes his windows, then drops off the Plane. A few moments later, he comes back and holds his hand out.]

This is the money I owe you.

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

[Murr] Yes.

[contract_star]

[Smirks.] Never does go away. So much for me ever sneaking up on you.

[ghostlighter]

You mean in the future? [He smirks back, then turns around to minimize his page and take a drink before turning back.]

[ghostlighter]

... What?

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

Where did you get them?

[ghostlighter]

A girl named Yuko bought them from her reality for me. [... o wait.] I still need to pay her back for it.

[contract_star]

Exactly.

[ghostlighter]

Misaki said I wasn't a ghost anymore.

[contract_star]

...

...Oh, you meant...

You mean you are again?

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

[Nngk.]

[ghostlighter]

... Uh. Yeah? [Giving him a strange look.] I only got to be like that again for a little while.

[ghostlighter]

[Frown.] What?

[contract_star]

...I see.

[coil-legacy.livejournal.com]

Ah! Thank you! My dad will be really happy. [Takes it.]

[ghostlighter]

[Rests his elbow on the bar.]

Do you?

[ghostlighter]

I said I'd pay you back. [Small shrug.]

[contract_star]

...You're unhappy.
