♦ ♦ 18th Contract
[ The device snaps on to the foreshortened view of a spartan livingroom. In the corner, a wire-mesh cage with a brightly-patterned iguana is visible. The occupant stirs sluggishly across the interior, tail flicking. Closer to the screen, on the coffee-table, rests a crystal center-piece. ]
[ Someone's frigid little heart is on display for the whole City. ]
[ In the periphery, footsteps rustle. A voice, too flat and monotonous to be 'Li's, mutters, ]
So now the City's getting metaphorical on me.
Pretentious. As always.
[ Belatedly, the speaker notices the blinking device. With an irritable tch, a hand reaches to click off the feed. It won't be near midnight until the device switches itself back on. At a different spot, but with the ice-heart still in view. By that time, it'll have metamorphosed into a new shape. The blue glow it radiates is actually a spark of concentrated heat. Melting the ice from inside-out. ]
[ Hopefully it won't set the coffee-table on fire. ]
Options for Run Ins:
♠ At Home (Li/Hei): With impatient jerky movements -- almost pulling off the cabinet doors as he yanks them -- he'll be assembling lunch in the kitchen, though (for once) he isn't hungry. But he's no mood to look at that over-dramatic frozen heart. Teammates or friends are welcome to drop by and bug him!
☀ Shopping (Li): He leaves the stupid heart -- and inevitable questions via the Network device -- at home. At a supermarket, pushing a grocery cart, he feels better. After that tiresome 'revolt', he's glad to wander around and take care of mindless, not unpleasant tasks. You'll find him contemplating shelves of little fruity yogurt pots. Almond midnight mocha, juicy peach tart or blue lychee dream? Hmmmm.
∅ Recon (Reaper): Under the black sky of late night, he'll be near the City limits and the Underground, surveying the revolt's residual destruction. By now, in the groove of his routine, he's almost forgotten about the curse. The stars above are clear, and there's a pale slice of moon. He drifts from checkpoint to checkpoint, feeding an unexpected new habit of wandering around, not exactly patrolling, but getting lost. Staying lost.
[ OOC: Too cold to pierce, too hot to handle? Thawing and mellowing? Eating itself alive? Interpretations are up to you xD (Massively backtag friendly!!!!) ]

[ Almost. ]
[ Except he didn't, and its existence feeds a hum of something in the line of his shoulders. A premonition, almost. He's supposed to be a creature of cold logic; supposed to disdain bad vibes and sixth senses. Perhaps the fact that he doesn't is a sign of his irrational human half, reasserting itself? ]
[ He doesn't know. ]
[ He regards Yin a moment more, impassive, but filled with silent disquiet. Then turns on his heel to start the route back home. ]
no subject
[She removes the pendant and watches the colors brighten and shine in the sun, the curve of the wings, then, necklace in hand, she finally rises. She thinks it might be safer there, where Yin can feel it. Hei said keep it safe, so she will.]
[With that as her last thought on it, Yin heads towards the shops.]
