[And here's a very, very unamused and slightly befuddled Hei.]

It wasn't Tokyo.

...

I'm pretty sure that...armor was alive.

Ah? That sounds like a strange place to be. ...It was alive?

[contract_star]

It...is. I've never been in a place like this. Lots of...stairs.

It...I don't know. It felt alive. The way the Gate feels alive...

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

Eh? Stairs? [blinks] Like a shrine?

Hm...I don't know anyone who's world is like that. That's tough.

[contract_star]

[Frowning,] Like a shrine, yes...

Something about that armor reminds me of Milo...I think I need to explore more. This...might be what's been happening to some of the other people here. Did you also wake up somewhere you weren't supposed to be?

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

Milo...? That's Mu's friend, right? But mhm! I ended up in Gene's world and Gene is in my world.

[contract_star]

Right. Though they're both from different realities.

So...you're Gene and Gene's...you? [Pause, and, because Hei just can't take this anymore, he starts laughing.] That's...that's just too amazing.

[Still chuckling,] How's that going for you? Being an angry male cop?

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

[dramatic sigh!] He's probably going to get me grounded and fail my tests.

Ahh, it's all right! It's a lot like those crime dramas on TV. Mu is Sam, so he's been helping me.

[contract_star]

[Sighs as well.] Yeah...I have a feeling a lot of us are going to have a lot of clean-up to do when this "switch" is corrected. If it ever is.

[Laughs again.] Well, it's a good thing you're already a skilled detective, I suppose. And Mu is Sam? [Smiles.] That's amusing.

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

It better not be permanent! I don't want to be Gene forever. What a horrible life that would be.

[smiles] Mhm! But if you're in a world like Mu's, that means you have goddesses.

[contract_star]

[Laughing,] I imagine it would be.

I heard as much. Someone here mentioned "Athena," and I know a little Greek mythology. I don't particularly want to deal with goddesses though...

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

I read about goddesses and they seemed really tricky. You'll have to be careful.

[contract_star]

Good advice. I've gotten a lot of good information from Mu and Shun, so I should be okay.

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

Really? Gene didn't give me any advice at all.

[contract_star]

[Smirks.] Well, he doesn't seem the type to give advice. Unless it's of the uninvited variety.

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

He doesn't think I can handle his life. But he's stuck with mine, which is trying as well.

[contract_star]

I know what you mean. Someone has my life right now, and I'm...worried about whether she can handle it or not.

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

Ah, I'm sure she'll be all right. Even people with dangerous lives can lie low sometimes.

[contract_star]

Ah...y-yeah, I guess you're right. Still, she doesn't seem the type to "lie low." She's quite...energetic.
