[Misaki appears on the plane in casual clothes. With an entire batting-cage setup in tow. Complete with nets, pitching machines, buckets of balls, and racks on racks of beat up bats. She goes around for a few minutes making sure everything still works, even without anything to plug it into. Which it does. Of course. Then she switches one of the pitching machines on high and starts cracking balls into the net, one after the other, with Totally Unnecessary Ferocity.]



[[Right after this, so naturally she is in a VERY VERY bad mood. Hence the stealing of her favorite batting cages.]

[He's somewhere between embarrassed and amused as she helps him.] There's something kind of wrong with this scene. The fearsome Black Reaper, taking batting lessons from a cop.

[The pitching machine shoots again. He swings and look, he actually hits it this time--he's a faster learner, after all--only the bat also goes flying and hits the side of the cage.] ...Oops...

Even the Black Reaper needs a day off now and then.

[She laughs again, trying--not very hard--to cover it.]

[contract_star]

A day off during which he's not bleeding all over the stars?

[He's laughing with her--a real laugh.]

[She smiles, a little sadly, and hands back the bat. Holding on for a moment to look him in the eye as he takes it.] You'll be careful. If anything like what happened to my world is coming, they'll need you. Everyone will need you. And with things changing, the Moratoria...

[She lets go of the bat and looks away, irritated with herself.] Just don't get killed, all right?

[contract_star]

[Raising his eyebrows.] Need me?

[Frowns a bit, kind of sad and a little guilty.] I'll try. I'm usually quite good at it, after all.

[Being difficult.] Need you.

[Wry smile.] You are. Take another swing--and don't let the bat go this time.

[Figures he doesn't want to try dragging info out of her again. So he just smiles and goes into batter position. Swing and a miss, but at least he held onto the bat this time.]
