Twelfth Prayer: Some Flames Never Die [Action/Video] Late Afternoon

Video

[A video feed flickers to life, showing a teenage girl dressed in long, thick looking priestess's robes sitting outside the little shrine on the riverbank. And for once in her Luceti life, Rei Hino looks genuinely happy with how things are going. Everything has gone...strangely well...for her lately. Despite the invasion, the discovery in the tunnel, and all of that, everything was actually alright in Rei's little world. So much so that it seemed like an ideal time to have a little celebration for an event that had been pretty significant for her a year before. It's not much, she never expects a large crowd for anything she does, but then she's never been one for that sort of thing, either. And who knows, it may even help to lift people's spirits after their own troubles.

There's no sigh, no subtle frown, no vaguely irritated look in her eye. She's even smiling at the camera as she addresses it.]


Good afternoon Luceti. My name is Rei Hino, and as some of you might know...and some might not...I maintain a small shrine here across the path from Community House 2. I haven't broadcast about it in a while, but I thought today might be a good day to extend an invitation to anyone who might want a peaceful place to spend some time before the weather changes. It was one year ago today that Brave Vesperia completed building it, and it felt appropriate to mark the date with a little something.

[She gestures to some tables of food she's prepared or gathered from the shops and bakery, a variety of snacks, along with curry, pasta, and various other easy meals really. Rei can cook alright, but this was kind of last minute, after all.]

So please, come eat and relax. If you like, I'll read your fortune and give you a good luck charm too. I know things have been stressful lately, so please consider it. It may do you some good.

[A pair of crows flap into view, landing on her shoulders as she turns to look at the building. With a laugh Rei playfully runs a finger under one's beak and looks to the journal.]

And you know...it's strange, having been here as long as I have. I've had a lot of friends come and go, and seen a lot of strange and unsettling things. But looking at this building...it makes me happy. Maybe it's because it's like my home. My...real home. [Rei's smile grows almost wistful, weary even.] Does anyone else have a place like that here? A place that makes you feel at peace, maybe even a little nostalgic? I'd like to know...even if you don't come eat.


[And then she waves a hand, whispers a word, and the book closes with a sudden gust of wind. Harry would've been proud...]

Action

[Rei will be available at the shrine all afternoon after around 2:00, or if you like you can catch her earlier in the day in the shops with armfuls of food. Nothing too fancy is going on, just a little impromptu anniversary party.]

Families like that, it's happened a few times. But making us remember always living here, or making us forget our real pasts, they've done that a lot.

[It's one of the many, many reasons she cannot at all accept the Malnosso.]

It's alright. If something becomes a pattern like that, we can develop better ways to plan for it. [See? Practical. Logical.]

You tell me?

[He peered into the cup as he thought, double checking the info he had gathered on the calendar system that was used in Luceti.]

If I'm remembering this right, there's gonna be a few holidays and such in the next few months. I already goofed on one. [Valentine's Day. When he 'married' a certain eternally pissy Glyphian.] And, you know what they say. I don't wanna goof again.

Last time, someone began keeping a diary. It helped them to understand what was happening this time, once they started to realize it wasn't real.

[She follows the girl and assists in putting the groceries away with little to no instruction. It's really basic and Nel's far from stupid.]

Right, I'm sorry. My name is Nel Zelpher. I arrived here in July. At least, I think that's the name of the month that Fayt told me.

Your journal could just be factual. [Ami's would be likely to stick to that anyway. While she'd like a place to finally pour out all her thoughts and feelings before they bubble up and over, she wouldn't want to risk someone else reading it - or worse, it falling into enemy hands if it could be somehow used in upcoming experiments.]

Eastern. Western. It's all the same to me. [He threw a hand out in the air-- it made no difference. It is what it is, and he didn't care about the semantics of it.]

But, it's something for you. What do you do in Japan?

Oh, no, it wasn't so bad. [He seems a bit thoughtful as he remembers it, picking out something sweet to take a bite of before continuing.] I just tried to stay out of trouble. I'm no good in situations like that, so I just couldn't wait for it to be over.

It would, but that might not be possible yet. [The Malnosso would have to be completely taken out of the equation first. That won't be easy to accomplish, especially when there's also strong sentiment among some parts of the prisoner population that would reject the idea.]
aerialassault: (confident -- totally chill)

Guess that one's for the really old people, huh? [He grinned.]

What is Shichi-Go-San? I've never heard anything like that before.

Hey, hey. How do we know you wouldn't fit either. You act like one sometimes.

[It was both a joke and a compliment for Rei's relative maturity. Compared to most in the village, it was impressive.]

But yea, I can see why that one wouldn't work too well. Do you know why it's only for kids those ages and not others?
