Masks [Active]

Character(s): Urd, Hei
Content: Exchanging information.
Setting: Urd's relief shop, New Hope
Time: Week 34, night
Warnings: None.

The problem with masks, Urd reflected, was that you became the mask if you hid behind it long enough. A man who cultivated a persona as carefully as Hei was a man with something to hide. Where did Li end and Hei begin? What did he do or see that lead him to cling to that persona even now, dimensions away from where he came from? Could he be an ally or was he just a ticking time bomb of dissonant personalities waiting to clash?

She waited in the shop she had created to aid the other visitors after the mayor had effectively exiled them from the town's shops. It had been used before for covert meetings -- when it came to security against prying eyes, she prided herself in having the best. As she floated in the middle of the shop, one leg crossed over the other, she watched the shop window and tried to ignore the slowly burning need for vengeance that was growing inside her.

The electricity dissipated in a harmless sputtering spark by the time Urd approached the table. The light bluish glow coming from his skin went away. The red shine to his eyes dimmed back to their normal color.

Hei let the knife lay sideways on the table close to the bottle and cups. He didn't exactly want to put the weapon away right this second when the metal was still warm to the touch.

In hearing her honest inquiry, he knew this was going to take some time to answer. "It's complicated to explain... Are you familiar with the Gates, back on Earth? The colossal unnatural phenomena of the two gateways in Japan and South America have caused hundreds of humans to change once they appeared. Not only through gaining their powers, but in the way they think and act too."

When Hei told Urd he knew he wasn't on Earth anymore, it wasn't hard to miss the fact that Urd seemed at least somewhat familiar as to where he came from. Was she from his world as well, or did she pick up information about it from others who might have come from it?
