001 - A Bad Day For Everyone

[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.

A cop in the mall runs a black market for us.

I see. [Frowny face.] You can't get weapons legally. Which means you aren't fighting these things in public. Do people generally not know they exist?

[twelvemasks.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

Why is that? Do you need to keep them a secret for some reason?

[twelvemasks.livejournal.com]

People would panic.

[Meh face. She walked herself into that one.] Are they naturally occurring, these monsters?

[twelvemasks.livejournal.com]

Natural?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

You don't sound sure. Is there some human component to their existence, then?

[twelvemasks.livejournal.com]

[shrugs]

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

I'll take that as a yes. Do humans actively participate in creating these things, or is it accidental?

[twelvemasks.livejournal.com]

.... [shrugs again]

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

That isn't really an answer, Minato-kun.

[twelvemasks.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

Fair enough. [She frowns.] What do you know about them?

[Well, now he figures he should pay some attention to those documents he found laying around Tartarus. And he's not sure the more specific details he knows are exactly safe information. So thinks of what is safe.]

... They have strengths and weaknesses. And they keep coming back.
