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.

People from different worlds get dragged here, and apparently our homes become a part of this 'experiment' too. They haven't messed with my world yet, and things had better stay that way.

[She crosses her arms and looks at the ground, thoughtful.] I wholeheartedly agree. What.. erm, reality are you from?

[harmonixerdemon.livejournal.com]

I'm from Earth I guess. My version has monsters and evil spirits in it though, and everyone else says their versions don't have that.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[Slightly twisted smile.] Though some places probably come close? Where on Earth?

I'm in Japan right now. Visiting my Dad's half the family.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

No Hell's Gate in your Japan?

[harmonixerdemon.livejournal.com]

You know someone named Li? He was asking about the same thing...

No, I don't have one of those in my world.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

I do. [Her expression clouds a bit.] Not the one you're familiar with, however.

Consider yourself lucky.

[harmonixerdemon.livejournal.com]

[Gives her a curious look about the Li thing but...] Something called Hells Gate doesn't sound like something I ever want to see.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

Not if you can avoid it.

Monsters and evil spirits don't sound particularly pleasant themselves.

[harmonixerdemon.livejournal.com]

They aren't, people try to avoid the monsters and evil spirits. They don't come into densely populated areas most of the time though, so you're safe if you live in a city or something.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

That's convenient. Do you live in the city?

[harmonixerdemon.livejournal.com]

I'm staying in a village called Inugami now. It's not that big of a place, but it's protected so the monsters can't get in.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

It's in the mountains? I would imagine that's still more dangerous than living some place downtown.

[harmonixerdemon.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's up in the mountains a bit. It might be more dangerous than living in a town, but the people here seem to get along fine, and I'm a monster hunter so it doesn't bother me.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

Something we have in common, then.

[harmonixerdemon.livejournal.com]

[He gives her a measuring look] What do you mean?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[She flashes her badge with a casual smile.]

Monsters of a different sort, but the underlying principle is the same.

[harmonixerdemon.livejournal.com]

[Half-smile] I think my monsters are easier to deal with than yours. At least I can just kill mine.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[And a half-smile in return.] I suppose that would make things much simpler.
