[Hei appears a ways away from where the normal crowd gathers, carrying a brand new Satake telescope. He sets it up carefully on its tripod and settles in for some quiet time with the stars. He'll talk to anyone who comes by, though.]

After [another pause] after I died, when I came back, my blood was different. Guv's was too, and I'd reckon Akito and Agito's is. Twins said it was part of the revival process. It looks kind of like this place.

[contract_star]

Like...[Trying to wrap his head around it.]...like stars?

[Pause, and then a whispered, half-awed, half-unhappy,] Damn.

[didorothy]

[nods] Like stars.

...Or glitter glue.

[contract_star]

[And Hei starts laughing, really laughing because oh man, what an image.]

I-I'm sorry, I shouldn't laugh...[Can't help it, he starts laughing again.]

[didorothy]

[is also laughing] Well, it does! Not that I'd ever say that to the Guv, but god, it does.

[contract_star]

[Still laughing,] Weird and disturbing but also rather romantic, I think.

[didorothy]

Only the last one if you're going by the 'stars' description.

[contract_star]

[Laughs again.] True. I couldn't imagine the line "and blood like glitter glue" showing up in a poem. Then again I'm hardly a poet.

[didorothy]

I don't know; some of this modern poetry seems to go for that.

[contract_star]

"That" being complete randomness?

[didorothy]

I think they prefer to call it 'post-modernism.'

[contract_star]

[Just laughs. He's in a good mood today :D]
