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.]

That might help. But what if people thought the Malnosso hid the journals, too, with so many of them all over the place suddenly?

[Not that this detracts from the fact that Rei is right about a larger-scale effort being better.]

[Tenenbaum watches her, then slips out of her shoes as well as she follows.]

[Have a grin. Rei was delightfully cheeky.]

That's fine. Religious stuff is all the answer I need. I'm an athiest, even if I've run into things that've made me wonder a bit about the divine.

[And it seems they have made it through safely. Well, at least for now. Very well played by Rei. While Grune's attention is on the food, Fenimore turns to Rei to mouth "well done" before turning back to Grune.]

I agree. Rei's put all this work in getting it put together; it would be rude to not enjoy it.

[Despite putting in the effort to use honourifics with Rei, she forgets it when not addressing her directly. Oh well.]

I think we should definitely do it. Even if others decide to try it, too, or not. Because it's important to have something to help us know what to believe.
aerialassault: (uncool -- i don't care)

...

It's complicated.

[It touched on the reality of what 'heaven' and the idea of what 'god' really was-- and it was thoroughly disappointing.]

Let's just say that anyone would start questioning things when things show up proclaiming your imminent destruction.

[Terrible, angelic beings. Fayt and Maria were made to destroy them, which was a testiment to their power.]
aerialassault: (thinking-- we got this right?)

Yeah, I remember.

[He held the glass up and swirled the liquid around, watching the bubbles move as he looked through it at her. It was hard to forget the sudden shift in power and demeanor that she had revealed. The nigh palpable presence of fire that filled the air around her was just as impressive as some of the other things he's seen-- even if there were a few that still topped it.]

It's just weird, yanno? You spend your life working on one cause and you suddenly find yourself fighting for something much bigger...it tends to throw a guy for a loop. Even an athiest might begin to ask a few questions.

Rei-chan, do you keep a diary normally? [It's the sort of thing she's always thought about doing anyway, but reserve has tended to outweigh the benefits of somewhere to pour out those thoughts.]

Not for phoenixes. [A look.]

Aye, we can eat anything, I'm just picky.

[This is not actually the case. Except that he is picky.]

No, just records at the hospital. [Nothing personal. She's not sure she'd want to write down all her thoughts anyway, sometimes.]
geniustheveil: (pgsm ☤ shock!)

[personal profile] geniustheveil 2013-09-25 09:25 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not old yet! [There's a bit of flailing there, for sure, but no actual anger. She knows when she's being teased. No one wants to hear she's getting old, though.]

[personal profile] fierybluebird 2013-09-25 03:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Nah, I'm good.

[Shifty eyes.] Well, maybe a little pasta, eh? [He might eat like a bird, but he is going to eat like a very hungry bird, okay.]
