050: Just Because I'm Losing Doesn't Mean I'm Lost

[contract_star]

[Hei looks significantly better now than he did back when, yanno, he was almost dying. He's lying on a rather ratty couch, a newspaper folded over his stomach. It's opened to the Classified section, and a few things are circled.]

[Hei yawns and stares up at the Astral Sky.]

I actually missed Sapporo. Nice to have a break from it all, finally...and that construction job should open on the sixth, so...

[He suddenly frowns a little.]

Wait, then... [He gathers up the newspaper and looks at the date at the top. He blinks, mildly surprised.]

Oh...huh.


[ooc: Hei forgot his birthday on the 3rd :|]

Comments

[mercwamouth]

Happy New Year, Sparky.

[contract_star]

Huh? [Distracted.]

Oh, right. That was a few days ago for me, but. [Slight smile.] To you, too.

[mercwamouth]

...Thanks. Then, what's today?

[lamb_of_gold]

So you are settled? Good.

[contract_star]

Hm? Oh. [Sets the paper down.] Ah...yeah, I'm getting there.

[lamb_of_gold]

No sign of pursuit, then?

[exserpens.livejournal.com]

Construction, eh?

Classy.

[contract_star]

[Oh hi, demon boy who wasted time being a dick to me while Diva was dying :| Hei is on his feet in an instant and has Crowley by the front of his suit in the next.]

You. I ought to kill you right now.

[exserpens.livejournal.com]

And I can name you a couple of angels and a cyborg who would be just a little bit cross with you if you went that route.

Do you mind? This suit was expensive.

{Sits on the arm of the couch, looking down at Hei}

Construction? Hei wants to build things?

[contract_star]

[Blinks, momentarily distracted.]

Oh...well--no, I mean, it's not like I really want to, but...well, I need money.

[madamemoiselle]

I can give Hei money.

[brokenamethysts.livejournal.com]

Haven't been to Sapporo in a long while.

How're things, Hei?

[contract_star]

Huh? [Looks up.] Oh. Ah...better, I guess.

[brokenamethysts.livejournal.com]

I'm guessing no more running at this point.

[buckingbronco.livejournal.com]

I didn't take you for the construction type.

[contract_star]

I'm not, really. But it's all there really is.

[witchmaker.livejournal.com]

Good to see there's nothing gnawing on your leg this time.

[contract_star]

[Blinks, distracted.] Oh. Heh... [Chuckles a little.] No, it's been quiet, the past few days. Thank goodness.

[Jolyne peers over the back of the couch, glancing at the newspaper and wondering if she should make a comment about the potential jobs Hei has circled. Granted that the *last* person doing this sort of thing got all huffy at her commentary, she decides on a different route.]

Glad to see you're looking more alive today.

[contract_star]

[Distracted.] Huh? Oh! Jolyne--thank you for before.

[Someone was trying to sneak up behind the couch and leave a present. :| ]

[contract_star]

[IT'S HEI. He sits up as soon as he senses someone coming and, lol, it's Misaki.]

Ah...

[handysparehand.livejournal.com]

[approaches Hei, glancing down at the open paper]

Looking for work?

[contract_star]

Huh? Oh. [Takes him a second to figure out which Doctor this is.] I am, yes. Running out of money and all.
