[Hei appears on the Plane not bleeding this time! looking a little indignant.]

Ms. Kirihara! You thought I was going to wear them??

[After a moment he sighs in a long-suffering sort of way.]

Mion, I'm not sure how much your vest cost...I brought some yen though, enough to cover it, I think.

Oh, and Mr. Tyler, if you've been...un-kidnapped yet--I have news.

Not at the time, no.

[contract_star]

[Heaves a sigh, but then he smiles and chuckles a little.] It must be even more humorous now. Back then you didn't know who I was.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[A sudden grin.] You know, I actually hadn't thought of that. Now there is a mental picture I wish I could share.

[contract_star]

[Wicked grin--time to turn the tables.] Hm, well actually, I suppose technically you did know who I was, though I expect you don't remember it.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[Unexpected, this.] Don't remember it? I've never been anywhere near an M.E. [She hopes.]

Wait a minute. [Her eyes widen.] You were involved in that...! [Accusation!]

What did you do?

[contract_star]

[Allll innocence.] Hm? Me?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[Sooooo not believing it.] Yes, hm, you. We have Messier Code data that speaks to your involvement. What did you do, and why can't I remember it?

[contract_star]

Sneezing much lately, Ms. Kirihara?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[WTFface] Well... no. What does that have to do with anything?

[contract_star]

Oh, nothing. [Fail!Redirect is a go!] Ah, the stars are beautiful here today, aren't they?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[Fail!Redirect fails. Mightily.] Don't give me that. What about sneezing? Did I sneeze three days of memories out of my nose?

[contract_star]

[Looking at the stars and totally not laughing at her.] You never know! Anything is possible.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

So, if I shoot you, the answer could come flying out with your brain?

[contract_star]

[Looks back at her and smiles a little dangerously.] You'd never get the chance.

[Gun comes out in about the time it takes for a mouse to blink. She gets a round off and tags the ground five inches from his foot.] Do you honestly want to test that theory?



[[She says, "HOW DAER YOO INSULT MAH SHOOTIN SKILLZ, BIZNATCH.]]

[contract_star]

[Wire comes out at about the same speed and coils around her wrist and gun maybe a nanosecond before the bullet hits the ground. He looks at the spot where the bullet hit, maybe a little surprised.]

You do always surprise me with your shooting skills, Ms. Kirihara. But you're the one who would end up dead here. [Vague smile.] If this was serious, of course.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[She grins in a predatory sort of way.] Just means I need to work harder.

[And then blink.] Wait a second. I shot through it. Your wire. Why...?

[contract_star]

[Smirks back at her and uncoils the wire, letting it retract.]

[Blinks back.] Oh? You remembered? [Hei is thinking "crap!" but it's not showing on his face.]

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[She rubs her head.] Not really. But I remember shooting at you.

[Then, indignantly.] You threw a knife at me.

[contract_star]

...It was nothing personal, you know.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[Growing indignation.] Nothing personal? You were strangling my Deputy-Chief!

[contract_star]

[Heavy sigh, and he means it this time.] So you do remember...

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[Then, dlijepo irmdpsjvdlskvjxcc.]

My CAR!

[contract_star]

[This is Hei having the WORST DAY EVER.]

Um...sorry?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[FACE THE FURY OF THE FERRARI OWNER.]

You're going to pay for the damages, you know. My insurance rates went up because of you!
