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.]

Of course! It would be irresponsible to just leave things as they are and go home [again] particularly when for all I know I might just come back!

[Her concern was met with a smile. Cliff glanced down at his bandaged arm, grinning just like a rowdy kid.]

Oh, this? Nasty fight 'bout a week back. You probly heard the mess of it. A kid was...abducted, I think. And Shifted.

[Chin scratch.] But, that's just me taking a guess of things.

[ Kirk watched her, wondering what was going on, if he should say something. Personally, he thought it was a bunch of hocus pocus, though that was unfair considering he was friends with both Lokis, and they could do magic. Why was visions so off the scale? ]

Uh... Rei? Should I do something?

blessingone: (I'm a sucker for a good lie)

so my paid account expired briefly today so I had no idea this comment was in. alas thread tracking.

[Fenimore looks to Rei, only to see that Rei is looking at her in return. That makes her turn even redder. She opens her mouth to address her, closes it, and returns her gaze to Grune.]

Grune, we're not -- [Where had her words gone?] It's not that I don't like -- but we're not exactly --

[Ugh, she'd said sort of thing to Grune before. Why was it so hard now? She assumes that it's because she doesn't want to insult Rei by miswording her denial, which is a part of it, but another part of it is that the part of her that thinks it might be nice to be, well, "special someones" with Rei is just a little bigger after their date than it was before, and is thus somewhat reluctant to correct her.

She tries again, sounding deflated, as she knows even as she says it that it is not going to slow Grune down at all.]


...We've only been on one date [and that slightly bigger part of her unhelpfully adds after a momentary hesitation:] so far.

[...How convincing.]

Rei-chan, it's beautiful! [A little overwhelming, really, but she loves it. It's the sort of thing she can wear when she dresses up more.] I'll think of Rei-chan whenever I wear it, alright?

Then I will come...

[and come she does. And it doesn't take her long to find it, but instead of going to find Rei right away, she lurks around the entrance, taking in the scenery and detail]

Oh? What other services do you provide?

[While she was never the most religious, Nel still followed the teachings of Apris like any good Aquarian.]

[she had been somewhat entranced by the symbolism of the gate--though not enough to not notice the girl's presence and smiles at her words.]

I feel like a demon being invited in. Are you sure that's wise, Miko-chan? ufufufufu

Well. It was nothin worse than anything else I've done...

[Like aerial assaulting his way onto the battle field after fighting Albel Nox. That was special. He didn't turn down the offer of any healing magic-- he just grinned sheepishly.]

Ahahah. You didn't need to. Nel's been, uh, kinda taunting Fayt and I with the Symbols since that happen. I tell ya, that lady is pretty scary when she wants to be.

...yeah.

[Yu gave a small nod. No point in worrying over what he couldn't change at the moment. There was a truth in every situation, and if anyone was going to find it...]

I guess at this point, we can only hope our worlds don't move on without us as we try and figure this out.
