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.]

Were you still planning to train your spiritual powers in the mountains? [Luceti lends itself to retreat as well, especially since the village inhabitants tend to cluster together, but Ami mostly means back home.]

[He smiled at the small quip amidst the seriousness of the conversation. School always made everything else look like nothing, but that was just the nature of the thing.]

It's probably a common theme in a lot of these places. You could say that the issue is something like that...but, that's the short version. And, it's the only one that really matters in this place.

You could? Oh, thank you! That's very kind of you... ah, but I do hope you didn't take that the wrong way. I didn't mean a charm for luck in love with you. Not unless that's what you want, of course!

[Well, maybe or maybe not, but...]

Just to focus, maybe. [Solitude and quiet.]

Mm, that's true. It's been unsettled here. [When things happen in Luceti, it tends to be a lot at once.]

None taken, not in the slightest. You'll make some young lady very happy, I'm sure.

[Honestly, he isn't actually looking for romance or love at all. It's all just an act, not that he's going to let on.]

[Fenimore considers the biscuits she brought, her eyes even briefly flicking towards them, but she can't think of a way to say so without sounding like she's hinting that she wants Rei to try them. Still:]

At the moment, all of it looks pretty good to me.

[Fenimore reaches out and plucks something from the plate Grune is holding.]

Me, either. [He sighs a little.] I guess maybe we should, with the kind of place this is supposed to be, but... things usually don't get that bad. I think that's why it's always a surprise, at least for me.

Uh...they're big. They've got wings. And they're proclaiming our death.

[Nope. No more info...but, not that Cliff thinks about it, the description sounds oddly familiar.]

That would be wonderful, thank you. I was starting to feel somewhat left out with all of these weddings and engagements that have been going around. I wonder what prompted all of that?
aerialassault: (thinking -- kids these days)

...uh. They've got feathers. Though, it ain't that simple.

Not that it really matters here, of course. One of my friends here has done a few things that I don't remember. He's...from the future, I guess.

Everything turns out fine. That's all I care about.

Not as bad as it could have, I suppose, though I can't say I ever want to see an asylum again. The food there was just terrible, and all of the orderlies were rude. You would think they could hire at least one person with manners...

... but what about yourself? I hope you weren't quite so unfortunate.

[Now Jack's own voice softens slightly.]

No, I think yours was probably harder.
