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)

Yea. I...understand she's been here before. I think, though, maybe she'll be happier with all of our friends.

[He's a little derpy, but Mac is rather sweet.]

Where you good friends?

Voice

[thelittlemacthatcould]

Oh, uh... [He's taken by surprise by the question, having already explained - but he does not think to bring this to her attention. Perhaps it would be impolite.]

Nah, jus' talked once, that's all.

Voice

[faithfulflame]

Oh...oh right...you answered that question already.

[She definitely seems frazzled]

I-I'm sorry. I'm not all here today.

Voice

[thelittlemacthatcould]

That's okay; I understand. ...D'ya need some space?

Voice

[faithfulflame]

I...probably need some air, honestly. I don't mean to cut you short, Mac. If you would like to offer Usagi-chan a prayer, I will be at my tent-shrine in a little while.

Voice

[thelittlemacthatcould]

[Perhaps it would lift her spirits a little if he did, he muses.]

It's awright, Rei. Think I can find some time t'swing by an' say a couple words.

Voice

[faithfulflame]

I know she would appreciate it.

[So does Rei, but she's stubborn]

[thelittlemacthatcould]

Awright then. See ya in fifteen?

[faithfulflame]

Sure.

[And with that she snaps her journal closed]
