[On the Plane appears a girl in your typical Japanese school uniform, wielding a pair of machine guns and looking very, very pissed off.]

Dammit, where the hell did it go? [She doesn't lower the guns as she starts to walk around the area, looking about warily. Eventually, she stops and makes an irritated sound in the back of her throat. Tucking one of the machine guns into the harness at waist-level behind her, she snatches up a cellphone from her pocket and dials.] Keisei, it escaped.

[Pause. There's no response. Makina stares at the screen incredulously.] Idiot, did you forget to pay the bill??

Those MAC11s? Good choice.

Y'know, for a girl.

[She'll be giving you a Look and promptly ignoring you, Deadpool.]

[mercwamouth]

I mean, sure they get the job done, but those rounds won't go through walls. Really only useful if you can't handle the bigger models.

Unless you really really care about cutting down on collateral damage, which I've always thought was the fun part.

[mercwamouth]

You mute, too?

[corpsebullets.livejournal.com]

No.

[That is not the strangest thing Dino has ever seen, and he just assumes she's a hitman of some kind.] New here?

[corpsebullets.livejournal.com]

No. I'm passing through. If you know what's good for you, you'll leave. [Do the living *always* have to be this dumb?!]

[oilyhands.livejournal.com]

What were you hunting?

[corpsebullets.livejournal.com]

[Glare] None of your business.

[oilyhands.livejournal.com]

Something interesting, then.

[corpsebullets.livejournal.com]

No.

[oilyhands.livejournal.com]

Why else would you refuse to say?

[corpsebullets.livejournal.com]

Because it isn't any of your business.

[Ooookay, girl with a gun. Hei is watching her warily, ready to drop from the Plane if he needs to.]

Whatever you were hunting, it isn't here.

[corpsebullets.livejournal.com]

[Augh, more people.] I noticed that already. [And she'll be regarding you warily now, Hei. DEAD PERSON SENSES TINGLING.] Tch, nobody told me there'd be another one.

[contract_star]

Another...what, exactly?

[corpsebullets.livejournal.com]

[Sorry, Hei. She's got one of those guns back in her hand and it's leveled at your head.] Corpse.

[contract_star]

[Hand on his belt now. Never bring a knife to a gunfight, but wires work alright.] You think I'm a corpse? That's one I haven't heard before. Look, I'm not dead...

[He pauses. Oh. Ugh. He would facepalm if he didn't know it would be stupid to cut off his eyesight right now.] This again, wonderful. Look, I'm not dead, and I'm not some kind of zombie either. It's something that happens to the people here. Everyone is brought back to life if they die, but not as a...corpse, or whatever it is.

[Then again, he really has no idea. Considering the black sparkleblood, who knows? Maybe Hei and the other people who have died really are little more than zombies now. But that's a whole existential thing that he doesn't want to get into now.]

[corpsebullets.livejournal.com]

[Yeah, that gun isn't budging an inch.] You feel like one of them. [...but he also kinda *doesn't*. Well, better safe than sorry.] Dying and coming back isn't uncommon.

[usagipino]

[Have an android dressed like a bunny.] Huh?

[corpsebullets.livejournal.com]

...go home, kid.

[usagipino]

Home?

[corpsebullets.livejournal.com]

You've got one, don't you?

[usagipino]

[She tilts her head, frowning a little as she tries to figure out this dilemma. Home is a place, but it can also be associated with feelings of belonging, and it's hard to extrapolate either of those to her situation.]

[Eventually she shakes her head.] Pino has Vince.
