Fifth Prayer: Loss

[faithfulflame]

[She'd just checked Usagi's room, and it was empty. Nothing remained of Sailor Moon save for a half-empty bucket of pudding just sitting in the fridge. With a cry of frustration, the normally reserved miko took it out and hurled it at the trash bin, chocolate oozing down the wall. This was just too much. First Ami, then that awful Apep creature taking Sabriel, and now Usagi!

Her friends would need to be told, of course. So, a few minutes later a Voice transmission pops out over the journals. Rei's voice is tight and controlled, but there's definitely an undercurrent of sadness]

I'm sorry to inform everyone that Tsukino Usagi-san has been sent home by the Malnosso.

Please think of her fondly, and wish her luck.

Should anyone wish to make a formal prayer for her, I will be available to help with that, so please contact me via the journal.

[Closing the feed, Rei picks up her journal and heads out to the little tent shrine she, Ami, and Usagi had put together months before, lighting a flame on the brazier with Eferin and preparing several prayer strips of her own for her friend and Sailor Moon. She burns them, and sends her wishes to the other girl, whereever she might be]

Be well, Usagi-chan.

(OOC: Feel free to respond via voice, or find Rei at her little hideaway)

I saw Eiko and Vivi, but only briefly and I haven't heard from them since. Could they have already been taken back home?

[faithfulflame]

Its possible. Are you staying with them? Or...alone?

[losthorn]

I offered Eiko a place with me... I wasn't sure if Vivi would be comfortable living with two girls.

[faithfulflame]

Check her room, then. If her things are there, then she's just been kidnapped.

[Not trying to be cold but Rei's in a dark place]

[losthorn]

...Thank you, I'll start looking.

[faithfulflame]

If...they have gone, I'm sorry.

[A sigh]

And if you need help, I live in House 3. I'm sorry I haven't...spoken to you much since you arrived.

[losthorn]

No... It's all right.

[faithfulflame]

If...you need something, really.

[She won't admit it, but she wants company.]

[losthorn]

The same for you, Rei.

Sorry its so short, bad moods are...bad =/

[faithfulflame]

I...thank you. Just...say a prayer for Usagi-chan. Even if you didn't know her, she'd appreciate it.

[She closes the feed, though, grateful that she has at least talked to someone]
