001 - A Bad Day For Everyone

[chasingstars201]

[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

My, my, you should put that away. You might hurt someone~

Besides, this isn't any kind of cruel thing, if that's what you're thinking. There are cruel people here, but most of them, they're pretty nice. Well, as long as you don't try and shoot them, that is~

[chasingstars201]

[She scowls] That tends to be the point.

Who are you?

[chansondelamort]

Call me Diva. {Diva starts to step closer, obviously unafraid} Really~ The Astral Plane should be a more peaceful place than home. If you go around shooting people, well, that really messes things up~

[chasingstars201]

[Likewise unimpressed.]

Misaki Kirihara. Please excuse my caution--I will relax once I have the facts. Where, for you, is home?

[chansondelamort]

New York City, 2006~

[chasingstars201]

[Still on guard, though not so sharply as before.]

Have you ever heard of Hell's Gate?

[chansondelamort]

{Thoughtfully} Several, actually. Which one do you mean?

[chasingstars201]

Which one? [Now THAT is disturbing. After a moment,]

The one in Tokyo. How about Heaven's Gate?

[chansondelamort]

Oh, Amshel mentioned that a lot. Not anymore or recently, but he mentioned that when he came to that tower to see me. I think it's some religious thing, but I really don't know~

[chasingstars201]

So, where you're from, there are multiple Hell's Gates, but the Heaven's Gate has still disappeared? What do you know about the Gates?

[chansondelamort]

{Considers it for a moment before she laughs slightly} So serious? Ne, I think we're talking about different things~

[chasingstars201]

[Misaki closes her eyes and sighs a little bit before holstering her gun. She's still on guard, but unless this girl makes some sort of hostile advance, the gun is only hurting the conversation.]

I will admit, that's a relief. The thought of multiple Hell's Gates--the Hell's Gates of my... [Get used to saying it, Kirihara, she thinks. Probably going to be here a while.] My reality, is really rather terrifying.

[chansondelamort]

...It can't be that scary. There are scarier things, I'm sure~

[chasingstars201]

Maybe. What are your gates like?

[chansondelamort]

Why, that would be things like bridges and art sculptures~

[chasingstars201]

[Snerks despite herself.]

Your... hell's gates, I meant.
