001 - A Bad Day For Everyone

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[Misaki Kirihara appears on the plane looking very, very pissed. Her Sig P230 is unholstered and leveled at…

…no one.]

Tch.

[She lowers the weapon, very slightly, taking in her surroundings. Or rather, the lack thereof.]

Contractor!

[She turns in a slow circle, tension wrapped around her like a creaking spring.]

Contractor! Show yourself. You’re being stupid. Using your power on a member of the NPA will get you killed. It isn’t worth the laugh.

[A pause. She’s starting to get angry again.]

Show yourself!

[She looks up, down, around at the stars, and a pained expression crosses her face. Barely audible, she mutters,]

You people… know how to be cruel.

As far as I'm aware, there are no Contractors present. But I don't know what a Contractor is, so I'm not much use there. This place is called the Astral Plane. You're here as an experiment for Meredith Sault and the twins, Lapis and Lazuli. If you want to get back home, you just have to will it.

Detective Inspector Tyler, by the way.

[Total suspicion; she has it.]

British... Familiar with the name November 11?

[didorothy]

Not at all. I'm from the Manchester, 1973. [frowns slightly] Though...

Pardon me, what I said bears explaination. This area serves as a nexus point for various worlds - that includes different points in times. It sounds unbelievable, I know, but that's because it is unbelievable. That doesn't make it untrue.

[Warily watching the lady with the gun. He doesn't want to get shot..]

[Warily watching the wary watcher]

Are you responsible for this? Who do you work for? Are you freelancer?

[harmonixerdemon.livejournal.com]

[Holds up his hands]

I didn't do anything to you. The Twins or that Meredith lady are the ones who dragged you here. And I don't work for anyone.

[Is tensed and ready to dodge if she tires to shoot]

...!

2/2

[contract_star]

Ms. Kirihara! It is you! Long time no see! [Watching the gun, eyebrows raised.] Didn't expect to see you here...

Re: 2/2

[The gunpoint drops like a stone. There's a moment of confusion, and then fury replaces the irritation she felt before. The gun comes back up, leveled at his face; her fingers tighten on the trigger.]

Get out.

[contract_star]

[Good feelings gone.]

Wh-what?

[Raising his hands, totally confused but doesn't want to get shot right now.] U-um...it's okay...this is the Astral Plane. It's not part of our world. We're not in the Gate.

[have a Wolfwood raising his hands slowly because hey, he is used to guns getting pointed at him because of Vash]

...Hi?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[He obviously isn't threatening her...] Who are you? How are we here?

[chapelsend.livejournal.com]

'M Nicholas D. Wolfwood, a travelin' priest. [smiles and tries to look as harmless as possible for a man carrying a huge cross on his back]

How we got here... well, you can blame those freaky Twins an' that other woman. I haven't met her, but those Twins are the creepiest thing I've seen since a pack o' sandworms tried eatin' me.

[madamemoiselle]

My, my, you should put that away. You might hurt someone~

Besides, this isn't any kind of cruel thing, if that's what you're thinking. There are cruel people here, but most of them, they're pretty nice. Well, as long as you don't try and shoot them, that is~

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[She scowls] That tends to be the point.

Who are you?

[lamb_of_gold]

More and More....


You speak of Contractors. Do you know Li?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

I do. I did. [She lowers her weapon. She's really starting to think that this isn't a contractor's work, startling enough on its own. The talk is so casual... so mundane.]

You... know him?

[buckingbronco.livejournal.com]

[Does not want to get involved with an officer of any sort, particularly one waving a gun around. But since he figures a tense, nervous officer is more dangerous than a calm one..]

Hey, no one is play a trick on you or trying hurt you. [Has his hands up and a friendly smile on his face]

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[Down comes the weapon.] I'm beginning to realize that. At least, no one present seems to be involved.

Misaki Kirihara. And you are?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Nobody here but us chickens.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[She lowers her gun, staring at this gangling man in a mix of wariness and amusement.]

Chickens. And what are the chickens doing here?

[brigadiertardis.livejournal.com]

Contractor? What is that?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[Kirihara pulls up short. Not good. After a moment,]

A criminal. A very dangerous one.

[Oversimplification FTW!]

[twelvemasks.livejournal.com]

Are you okay?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

Not especially, no. Is there a way to... get in contact with those twins? Or that woman, Meredith Sault?

Misaki Kirihara. Who might you be?
