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.

[She starting to get the hang of this ridiculousness, and can't help being amused at the thought of this man and his giant gun being attacked by books.]

What sort of books? I hope that... wizard [Wizards and Aliens and Time Lords, oh my!] wasn't in too much trouble? He was able to get back to his world, I'm assuming.

[it was amusing but dang it, those books were vicious!]

Umm, The Monster Book of Monsters. Guess they weren't 'pose t' be there or somethin' like that.

He did. An' he says that nothin' was too bad there.

[Wishes she could see the Monster book because really. Living books.]

He must lead a rather interesting life if burning down buildings and being mobbed by books means that things are mostly okay.

I think there's one chompin' 'round here someplace. I had one chewin' on me when I came here 'round that time.

So, where're you from?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

From Earth, as you said. Japan, specifically.

It's... [How does one explain the location of a country to someone not even from the same planet?] an interesting place.

[chapelsend.livejournal.com]

Seems there's a lot o' people from Japan here. It sounds interestin' just' cuz o' that.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

Oh? How many others have you met?

[chapelsend.livejournal.com]

Th' two skaters, Li, th' weird guy kept on askin' me 'bout dyin', th' creepy one that looks like him, the kid with th' eyepatch, and a couple others. Haven't met everyone yet.

[Since the only one she recognizes from he list is Li, she makes a face.]

Li-san is from China, actually. He's just living in Japan.

It makes no difference t' me. I never been t' Earth, let alone seen a map o' th' place.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[She smiles a bit] No, I suppose it wouldn't make a difference. What's your home like?

[chapelsend.livejournal.com]

Hot, mostly. We've got two suns, five moons, an' not much water or plants. There's a few nativ ecritters runnin' 'round like th' sandworms and tomas, a few we brought with us like cats an' dogs an' birds an' people o' all sorts.

[Ponders.] Sounds like a hard place to live.

[chapelsend.livejournal.com]

It can be.
