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

[chansondelamort]

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?

[lamb_of_gold]

More and More....

You speak of Contractors. Do you know Li?

[chasingstars201]

I do. I did. [She lowers her weapon. She's really starting to think that this isn't a contractor's work, startling enough on its own. The talk is so casual... so mundane.]

You... know him?

[lamb_of_gold]

I count him among my friends, as a matter of fact.

You can rest assured that this is not the work of a Contractor, but is, in fact, quite real.

[chasingstars201]

[She startles back.]

You know about Contractors. Are you...?

[buckingbronco]

[Does not want to get involved with an officer of any sort, particularly one waving a gun around. But since he figures a tense, nervous officer is more dangerous than a calm one..]

Hey, no one is play a trick on you or trying hurt you. [Has his hands up and a friendly smile on his face]

[chasingstars201]

[Down comes the weapon.] I'm beginning to realize that. At least, no one present seems to be involved.

Misaki Kirihara. And you are?

[buckingbronco]

Dino Cavallone, nice to meet you. Arriving here is a little disorienting, isn't it?

[chasingstars201]

Just a touch. [Sarcasm--she has it.] Where are you from? Another reality? Another planet? Another time?

[salvagestime]

Nobody here but us chickens.

[chasingstars201]

[She lowers her gun, staring at this gangling man in a mix of wariness and amusement.]

Chickens. And what are the chickens doing here?

[salvagestime]

[beams, hands in his pockets]

Looking for a road to cross, maybe?

[chasingstars201]

[At that, she laughs outright, and it's such a relief that she can't stay hostile.]

Of course. [She rubs her forehead.] This is the strangest hallucination I've ever had.

Misaki Kirihara. And you are?

[brigadiertardis]

Contractor? What is that?

[chasingstars201]

[Kirihara pulls up short. Not good. After a moment,]

A criminal. A very dangerous one.

[Oversimplification FTW!]

[brigadiertardis]

[watches her impassively] And I take it you are some sort of police officer or military personnel in charge of apprehending this ... Contractor, then?

[chasingstars201]

Correct. [Insert practiced badgeflash here]

Section-Chief Kirihara, Public Security Bureau Foreign Affairs Section Four. The woman I'm looking for--she was hooded, cryptic, and irritatingly amused. Have you seen her?
