[sitting at a desk in the middle of the Astral Plane, working on his paperwork like a good little nancy boy. And, like a good little nancy boy, he's listening to a broadway musical. On the glasses Fumie gave him, to be specific.

In fact, he's singing along to one. Yes indeed, Sam's singing "If You Were Gay."]

[Looks away and says nothing, because he doesn't know what to say.]

[didorothy]

[looks at him carefully, and then shrugs, leaning back in his chair] You don't have to tell me anything. But I'd at least like to know why you're not telling.

[contract_star]

[Long, long pause, and when he answers he's not looking at Sam.] Because it's dangerous. You're not involved, and you shouldn't have to be.

[didorothy]

I won't be. I'm not part of your world, Li. Whatever it is that's dangerous, it can't touch me.

[contract_star]

It will if anyone else from my world ever arrives here.

[didorothy]

And then I won't even have knowledge to help me.

[contract_star]

[You are mean, Sam. Hei looks away, and it's a while before he answers.]

If ever someone comes here who mentions Contractors, or claims to be one--be very careful. Avoid them if you can. [Pauses again.] Contractors are soulless monsters, and they wouldn't think twice about killing you if they thought you were a threat.

[didorothy]

[nods, a silent thank you] Hypnotists are some of these Contractors?

[ooc; just as Sam tells Kirihara that he doesn't know what Contractors are, too!]

[contract_star]

Yes.

[ooc: IT WAS NOT PLANNED! :DDDDD]

[didorothy]

Are they just hypnotists?

[ooc; So you say.]

[contract_star]

The abilities vary.

[ooc: D: I r innocent, I swears!~~]

[didorothy]

With varying degrees of danger, I'd guess.

[contract_star]

[Nods once.] People in my world who know about them usually end up dead or with their memories erased. [Looking away,] Be careful.

[didorothy]

I will be. Promised Fumie, didn't I? I keep my promises.

Li. I doubt you'll take me up on this offer, but you can talk to me. Open invitation.

[contract_star]

[Smiles gently.]

[There's a long pause, and then he finally relaxes.] I'll remember that.

[didorothy]

[at that, Sam gives something like a smile] Good.
