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.]

You didn't get caught up in that, I hope?

Then I think we should both probably count ourselves lucky on that end.

... although I admit, I do wish I could've been there to see that happen.
of_sablier: (So then we'll use those water balloons..)

It's still impressive! I'm not sure I could take down a single police officer, much less several.
aerialassault: (thinking-- we got this right?)

Yup.

[He smiled at the thought. At least she understood that sentiment too.

Feeling better now that the conversation was set aside, Cliff stretched his legs and leaned back in his chair.]


That's why this place has been the most relaxing for me in...well, it feels like forever. I hate to say it, but I don't think there's much of a rush to get outta here. The job ends well, according to Fayt. And it's not like anything will be different by the time I get back anyway.

There's no reason not to try to enjoy this place.

Oh, from the spirits here?

[His first assumption.]
aerialassault: (confident -- totally chill)

[he grinned.]

You are? Good for you!

[With a slight kick off of the ground he let his chair balance itself back on all four legs.]

I've just gotta ask you one thing: Is she hot?

[He'll get back to the question. He just wants to hear what she says.]
aerialassault: (cocky -- let's play)

[Action] XD

[In truth? He expected nothing less. He laughed at the threat, not even taking it seriously for a moment. The question was done and over with for him. There'd be no need to ever ask it again.]

Hah! Fire away all you want, it's just sweet that you found someone who clicks with you and is hot on top of it all!

Seriously. That's great to hear. I hope it all works out for you two.
lostinmyway: (Oh my isn't this lovely?)

[Grune is so happy to hear Rei complimenting Fenimore that she's practically wiggling with it. She sounds a little more enthusiastic than before when she answers.]

Yes, I'd love one! [She selects a biscuit.] Fenimore is such a wonderful baker, isn't she?
blessingone: (the illusion of a bright future)

[personal profile] blessingone 2013-10-02 05:25 am (UTC)(link)
[Grune would say that even if the biscuits were charcoal bricks, Fenimore is sure, but she refrains from saying so. Even if such a comment would go over Grune's head, it wouldn't go over Rei's, after all, and Fenimore appreciates the compliment, anyway.

She is more pleased by Rei's compliments, though, and can't stop the smile that is spreading across her face. She's guessing from Grune's reaction that this isn't helping convince her that they aren't "special someones," but it could just be that Grune is pleased to see two of her friends being friendly with each other.]


They really aren't anything special. [Though it is said in the pleased tone of voice of someone who isn't really trying to discourage them from saying that they are.] But I'm glad that you like them.
of_sablier: (Whoops busted)

I see, I see. It's always so hard to guess whether someone comes from a world that has magic or not. I'm almost surprised by how many worlds don't seem to have anything of the sort.
