hunting for castmates for appweek!

[starwatches]

I've found myself in world where no one knows of Contractors, where the stars are real and the moon still rises? Where the only requirement-- worshiping--  is no worse than a remuneration?  And yet, you still wish for others to join us?

How long until they realize who I truly am?

[ A breath, followed by a low huff.  ] 

Think before you make anymore poor decisions.

Hello, Hei.

[starwatches]

I thought you were dead.

[icy_november11]

Maybe I just got lucky.

[starwatches]

Luck doesn't make the dead rise again.

[ Perhaps he's here, for the same reason Hei is here: an abusrd mystery]

I'd ask you why you're here, but it's irrelevant.

[icy_november11]

Looks that way to me. I struck lucky this time. After the Syndicate betrayed everyone and aimed to kill us all off. [He hadn't forgotten what those bastards tried to do.]

sorry for the delay! I was away for the weekend.

[starwatches]

'Us?' Is that a word a Contractor would use?

[icy_november11]

We as in all of the Contractors. You included, Hei.

[starwatches]

Was that truly a rational choice, November? Sacrificing yourself for the rest of us?

[icy_november11]

I am not sacrificing myself, Hei. We are all the same inside.

Well it depends on your point of view if it is good or bad.

I thought you would appreciate seeing the real stars for once.

[starwatches]

These stars are as real as the ones as the counterfeits. They are not from our world.

Would you?

[ Why bother asking a Contractor that question? Nevertheless... ]

[wind_and_water]

True. However you have to admit they are pretty, even if they aren’t from our world.

[She wasn’t going to give him a answer so easily]

Like I said, it depends.

[starwatches]

To most, the stars in our world look no different from real ones.

Only we know the truth.

[bloodied_killer]

I know who you are, Hei. A coward.

[starwatches]

Am I? Did you not get what you wanted?

[bloodied_killer]

I didn't get to see you die.

[starwatches]

Is that so important to you?
