[Hei appears on the Plane and promptly collapses, flopping onto his back and breathing hard. He looks exhausted, but he's also grinning. After a moment, he catches his breath.]

I did it. It finally worked.

Luxaky...and that other guy, if either of you are around. The experiment was a success.

[Still pissed at him.]

Well hallelujah amen, the Lightning Lord has accomplished something. [Glare.]

[contract_star]

[Mildly,] I'm aware of your opinion, Cy.

[IGNORES. Her feelings are hurt, Hei, you jerk. She is a very sensitive kitteh.]

[contract_star]

[Ignores her back.]

[cyfor.livejournal.com]

[Hey now, that's not fair, you know she doesn't have a very--] Wassat funny smell on you, Bee-Kay?

[contract_star]

[Opens one eye.] I smell funny?

[cyfor.livejournal.com]

[Trots over, sniffing him gingerly.] You smell funny.

[contract_star]

[Mildly curious now.] How so?

[cyfor.livejournal.com]

The spice is gone. The main dish is bland again.

[contract_star]

That's unfortunate. Spices tend to make or break the dish. But I still don't really know what you mean.

[cyfor.livejournal.com]

[Frowny face.] You don't smell like bleeding worlds, if'n you wants to be vulgar.

[contract_star]

Oh. I see. Well, I guess I'll just have to remain a...what was it? A bland dish?

Any spice in your food, yet?

[She walks in a circle, muttering.] I feel the winds a-changing, but none of the others do, not even Tintagel, not even the Majicou.

[Quiet for a moment, watching the kitty.] It was the same in my world. The Gate moved a few months back, and no one noticed it but me.

[cyfor.livejournal.com]

[She mutters.] Thought at least someone would. Don't much like this lonely idea, this sideshow walk alone.

[contract_star]

No...neither do I. But, you're not completely alone. Most of the people here know what you're going through, to some extent.

[cyfor.livejournal.com]

Oh, is that so? [Sits down, facing away from him.]

[contract_star]

[Only a little annoyed at her reaction.] What? What did I say this time?

[cyfor.livejournal.com]

[Twitches her tail at him.] Thought if you had your druthers, you'd druther us away.

[contract_star]

No. I like the people here. I'd just rather not have my reality messing up theirs. [Yes, he is teasing her.]

[cyfor.livejournal.com]

[Grumblegrumble. She comes over and climbs onto his knee.] Gonna soap-bubble pop away again?

[contract_star]

No. No reason for it, this time.
