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.]

Sounds like fun. [She follows the girl's gaze to see the impressive gate.]

I've never seen anything like that, so I think I will help you. As long as you don't mind me looking around afterwards.

I know. That's why I came.

[He shuffled the bags around so he could nod down to his jacket, where he kept his journal tucked away.]

Just wanted to offer a hand.
folklorist: (Yes I do agree with that)

Tables? Sounds easy enough! [ He'll motion for her to go first. ]

Lead the way.

[Everybody likes sweets. The fish looks delicious, too.]

We should enjoy sitting outside while the weather is nice. [Ami finds herself faintly surprised by saying that instead of checking with Rei first, but she goes with it.]

I'll help you bring everything out, if you'd like.

[Shinji also decides to visit the shrine after hearing Rei's announcement. He couldn't quite share her sentiment about having a home away from home, but that was no reason not to be supportive, he'd decided. So, he makes his way to the shrine and offers a small smile when he catches sight of her.]

Hey, Rei.

[There's a pleasant sort of mood here today and it feels just a little bit contagious.]
toujoursfluer: (how exciting)

Ah, I had forgotten. [it's a little embarrassing, to be honest. But well, it was what it was] Regardless may I visit this shrine of yours and get my own fortune told?
lostinmyway: (Oh my isn't this lovely?)

[And it's at this point when Grune arrives.

Of course she had to come see Rei on today of all days. She loves her friend and she loves the shrine, and so being there is very important for her.

She had been planning on congratulating Rei on her shrine's anniversary, but when she sees Rei with Fenimore...well, all that goes clear out of her head.]


Rei! Fenimore!

[She waves with maybe a little more enthusiasm than she might ordinarily and starts heading over....]

If it would not be taking up too much of your time, both would be appreciated.

How are you able to see my future?

[Fenimore takes the offered utensils.]

They're best while they're fresh. I let them cool off a little before I came over, but while they're still a little warm --

[But then, upon hearing Grune, she turns in her direction. Oh, so Grune's visiting, too. She waves back and, while she notices the extra enthusiasm due to spending so much time around her, she's only a little curious about the cause. She's inclined to expect Grune to be enthusiastic about everything and thus dismisses the idea that it could be anything special.

She's probably going to regret that naïveté.]


Hello, Grune.

[He's not that weird. His cooking is!]

Sure, I'll drop by. But that'll mostly be because you're shrine is a chill place, and today's it's birthday.

[He paused.]

Are you sure we shouldn't get it a present?

Bah-bup-bup! None of that. I'll take Kirk-san, but not Captain Kirk-san. To much red tape in that, and red is...not the best color for me.

[ He waved his finger at her before grabbing the paper. He gave her a dubious look over the instructions, but then shrugged and did as told. He watched the paper curl and blacken as he clapped the final two times. That done, he looked over at Rei, arching his brow, blue eyes curious. ]
