Eleventh Prayer: Burning Brightest [Action/Video] May 26th to June 1st
[Rei's head swam, her entire body swaying dangerously as she staggered through the forest. Something wasn't right. Nothing was. The last thing she remembered was talking to Helios, and then...nothing. The kidnapping had thankfully been quiet, and she'd been taken in her sleep but the return? This...this was something new. Her body felt off, too tall and heavy. Lean. muscular. Older. She had new memories, her head a jumble of them. Being young in Luceti...leaving it...and returning older. Almost as if it'd been no more than an afternoon or two.
Her body, still not adjusted to the changes suddenly brought by an extra fifteen years, found something else. The wings she remembered. But not the enormous ones. And from what she remembered they were grey, not orange. Making her way out of the forest, she felt a sense of loss. And a cooling sensation as well. And then there was the heat. The sheer raw heat that surged in her. She could feel Eferin even more keenly than she had before. Something was not right, she could feel that. But the power and heat? She wanted that. Walking out of the forest, heat shimmers distorting the air around her, Rei made her way home. To what had once been her home anyway, some...eighteen years ago.
Staggering inside, she all but collapsed onto the floor in her New Feather Dress.]
I'm...back.
Video
[After she's had some time to collect herself, Rei makes a short broadcast. The voice and accompanying video are a good deal older than when last she was here. Her elegance and beauty are only amplified by time. Maturity has been quite kind to her, it seems. To say nothing of the angelic wings sprouting from her back. Angelic things patterned in red and gold that wrap around her as she addresses the camera.
Her voice is somewhat brusque but excited as well, her eyes sparkling with interest.]
Good Afternoon, Luceti. This is Rei Hino, and I seem to have returned. It seems that I've only been away for a few days here, but it's been a number of years for me. But it seems there are quite a lot of strange things going on. I don't remember the wings being quite so large.
I'm pretty certain that unless I'm imagining things...there's something going on. I'd like for anyone with information, or experiencing strange symptoms with their Filial magic to please contact me or come by the shrine. Unless of course some fool's managed to burn it down or the caretakers didn't bother to keep it up while I was away.
[There's a rueful tone there, as if she didn't really expect anyone to do what she asked.]
If you want to catch up, I'll be there as well. It's been a while for me, and I'd love a chance for a tea ceremony or even Western tea with old friends, teachers, or even family. I will be providing fortune telling too, for...[Her smile grows nostalgic] old times sake.
[Rei'll be at the shrine during most afternoons, but she'll also be taking some time to explore the town again, curious to see what's changed while she's been away. Of course...it's only a kidnapping, but she believes she's been at home for 18 years. Feel free to catch her pretty much anywhere, though Sona and Twila possessed people beware. She's got a strong connection with Eferin and it's amplifying her already strong tendency towards being argumentative and zealous about dealing with what she perceives as darkness!]
((ooc note: Rei is returning from a mallynap for a while as well. She's currently 35 years old, under the full belief that she returned home and came back. That is to say she'll be played based on the end of the manga, mixed with a bit of her Parallel AU self.))
[Video]
Rei-chan?! Did you say it was years?
[This happens now and then in Luceti, so while it comes as a shock to realize Rei had apparently been sent away when she'd thought the droids had just taken her instead, it isn't unthinkable to Ami's mind.]
You remember when you were here before, then, don't you? And...
[Well maybe she should save that news until they see each other in person.]
[Video]
[She smiles warmly at her old reliable friend, brushing aside a lock of her long hair]
And yes, I do. I remember everything.
[Video]
[Video]
[Meaning yes, she knows.]
[Video]
[And within a short while, she'll be at the house - she's even set aside paperwork to greet Rei's return.]

There was an obvious Shift going on, and he had a hunch that Rei was affected by more than just one.
He found her at the Tsukino Shrine that afternoon, and knocked casually on the wood to announce his presence.]
Knock knock. [He lingered in the doorway, grinning.] 'Sup, Rei?
action
She's a lot taller, older, and more filled out than she was before.]
Hello Cliff. How are you?
action
But this was Rei, and she presented him with a more immediate question that he had to find the answer for.]
Pretty good. Just trying to make heads and tails of what's going on with this place. It happened overnight, and there's people 'round here using magic that weren't the other day.
It's weird.
action
[She holds up her palm, a brilliant blaze forming just over it]
This is a small thing, but it was beyond my control when I was here last.
[Without Mars, anyway]
And the wings...
action
Something native to the land was at work.]
Word has it that something happened with the tunnels the other day. I haven't checked it out myself, but that might be involved in this.
There's also more. People are acting differently from normal. Now, I don't know much about these Filial things, but don't they all have different personalities too?

Flame. Nothing new. What about you?
[That hair, man...]
[Video]
The very same. Glad to hear you're used to it. [He spits that out. He burned the hell out of his body, and through the video it's visible.]
[Video]
[The least she can do for a fellow firestarter]
If not, I can bring you some. My housemate is one of the village doctors.

[She doesn't respond, instead making her way to the shrine. She's vaguely aware of an experiment going on, her own wings currently looking a bit odd -- Twili's still having some trouble gaining complete control as the Hoshiko spirit continues to put up a fight. Unaware of it all, Kari's just left feeling a bit dizzy. And her wings, though mostly black by now, still have the occassional pink feather holding on.]
[As she approaches the shrine and peeks inside to see if Rei is there, she starts to feel a bit uneasy, though can't quite place why that is...] Uhm. Rei?
[Action]
Instead she opens her arms wide in a gesture of welcome. The older woman looks at the younger and offers a warm smile]
Kari-chan. It's lovely to see you. Please, come in and sit.
[So she can feel out that spirit more...]
[Action]
Uhm. Yeah, sure. It's... good to see you, too. [Despite the discomfort in her voice, she's still smiling, even as she goes and sits down -- which is a little more uncomfortable to do with the big wings, urk.]
So, uh. When you said it's been a few years, just how long were you home?
[Action]
Eighteen years. I just turned thirty five.
[Action]
Thirty-five? [Staring. And then looking up and down.] No way.

Hello Rei. You look well.
[Video]
Thank you, Sabriel. It's been some time, hasn't it? How are you, dear?
[Video]
[Leaning back against a nearby tree trunk she slips the journal into one hand to let the other dip into the nearby water.]
I hope your return to your home world has been agreeable.
[Video--Filtered]
She leans back in her seat, thumbing her chin and studying the camera.]
It's been eighteen years, Sabriel. We had a lot of battles, and fought many enemies. My...sisters and I. But we won peace, if that's what you mean. The Silver Millenium was restored. Queen Serenity...Usagi...used the Silver Crystal to bring back paradise.
So...you could say it was agreeable.
[Video--Filtered]
Very agreeable if you ask me. I'm glad.
