faithfulflame | Third Prayer: The Future is Written in Flames [Voice/Action] Forward Dated to June 13th

Voice

Good afternoon everyone. For those of you who have not met me, my name is Rei Hino. I would like to extend my warmest greetings to all of the New Feathers. I'm sure that you will find something that you enjoy here, and that you will be able to make many friends. If you need any help, please feel free to contact me at any time.

On to other matters, though. Its taken me some time, but I have managed to prepare and purify a small area on the edge of the forest where I can perform flame readings and other types of fortune telling. I do not have much in the way of a shrine, merely a tent and a small consecrated area with which to work, so I hope that doesn't reflect poorly on the experience. In my world, I am a priestess, and I'm fortunate enough to have a gift when it comes to doing such things. If anyone is interested, I will happily use my blessings to offer a reading of your future. It would be my greatest honor to provide my services.

While I cannot guarantee perfect results thanks to our hosts weakening my powers, I feel that its not out of my reach to offer answers to simple questions that you may have about your near future. All that you need to provide is a question and a single hair for a flame reading, or just your question for other types of fortune telling. I have a set of tarot cards if anyone prefers that, but I'm more confident in my abilities at flame visions.

I hope that you find my fortune telling to be enjoyable!

[An elegantly drawn map pointing to an area on the edge of the forest is included with the broadcast pointing it out]

Action

[Rei can be found at the site depicted on the map for most of the day. Its simple enough, a tent that she and the other senshi had found in the item shop, erected as a sort of open air shrine with a carefully prepared brazier on the outside. Near the center is a small round table she'd hauled out of her house, and at the entrance is a bucket of purified water meant to cleanse oneself before a reading. A pair of crows, Phobos and Deimos, dart playfully around the area, hopefully adding to the impression of the site.

Rei greets anyone who comes by with a happy smile and a great deal of enjoyment. She loves using her gifts, and if it brings a measure of peace or enjoyment to someone she's more than glad]

(OOC: If you have Rei do a reading, I'll offer up a generic enough fortune, since they tend to be very vague most of the time. However, if you wish for something more specific or want to use the reading to set something up for future plans, foreshadowing, whatever, please speak with me and we can work out some details! Hit me up in a PM and we can work from there.)

[When she's finished, Rei reaches out and plucks out a single strand of hair.]

Sit down, Usagi-chan. Seiza style, ok? Its more polite.

[And then she walks over and throws her friend's hair into the flame, clapping twice and bowing before kneeling in meditation]

[ There's probably at the very least a wince at that, but she does nod and for once obediently follows what she's told to do, sitting down like that. She's staring at Rei thoguh as the other girl is meditating there. Sure, she's seen similar stuff to this at Rei's shrine before, but it's still impressive no matter what..

Not to mention that Rei always seems to look so elegant during it, a real shrine maiden. It's practically enough to mesmerize the usually energetic girl for a little while. ]

[After a few moments, Rei stands up and smiles, bowing to the flames]

Thank you for your guidance.

[Unlike the others, Rei doesn't choose to share her visions with Usagi, instead deciding to just tell her.]

Usagi-chan, your fortune is a good one, mostly. The flames tell me that the next week will be a little rough, we're in for some trouble. But you knew that, from the Malnosso's announcement, right? We may have to fight together, like at home, to protect ourselves and our friends. But after that, things will start getting better.

Good luck is in store for you. And I have a little present to give you too.

[From a small box, she takes out an ornately carved charm, the kind that Usagi would've gotten from a shrine at home. Its covered with kanji, for luck and good health]

Here. It'll help make your fortune even better!

[ She still seems a bit curious when Rei is explaining, but it soon fades into squealing when she looks at the charm. ]

Really?! That's just for me, Rei-chan? Uwah, that's so cool-- [ .. ah, wait, the topic earlier was a little more serious, wasn't it..? ] .. Um.. The trouble isn't going to be too bad though, is it?

All I saw was you, Ami-chan, and I fighting together against some bad guys. I think we'll have a battle, but it wasn't clear when or wear. That's OK, right? Its fighting, but thats what soldiers do, right?

And yes, that's just for you, Usagi-chan. If you keep it close, it will bring you good luck.

Hmm, fighting is.. well, it's not a good thing, but it's what we're used to, right?

And it's what we have to do for everyone's sakes, so that means it's alright. I want everyone here to be alright and happy.

Then our future isn't too bad, then. I don't mind fighting if its to keep things here safe, either.

[Now she reaches out, pulling Usagi into a hug.]

I'm glad though, that we're here together. I think that we're going to need each other more than ever soon. Even if we've got good fortune on our side.

[ Oh, Usagi is up for hugging at any time of the day, especially with her closest friends. So without second thoughts she quickly wraps her arms enthusiastically around Rei as well. ]

The important part is being together, hm! If only we were complete, that'd be even better..

.. Ah, but then I'd constantly have Luna nagging me again!

[Rei nods silently, with nothing more than a quiet hmmm before letting Usagi go. It was an interesting thought, the New Feather cycle would be starting soon. Would Luna, Makoto, and Minako be joining them? Or...would one of the enemy? Or Mamoru? That was an interesting thought]

That might be good for you, though. Luna is a very reliable person to have around, remember? She makes sure you do all your homework and take care of yourself.

That's the horrible part though..! Whenever I go to have fun, she'll start nagging me! [ she does care about Luna, really, this is just one of those Usagi exaggeration moments. ]

Besides, Ami-chan already makes me do my homework!

Well, good for Ami-chan. Discipline is important too, Luna knows that. We can't have you slacking off too much, Usagi-chan.

Would it really be such a bad thing if I slacked just a little, Rei-chan?

[ a pout. ]

Life's about having fun, right?

Life is about a lot of things, Usagi-chan. Not just having fun. You do have lots of fun, just don't overdo it, you know? Its like when you eat to much, it becomes less good, and so you eat more. If you have too much fun, it gets harder and harder to find new fun things to do.

[She's trying to convince the unconvincible.]
