[Rei is having a really good day for the first time in a long, long while. The shrine she'd requested Brave Vesperia's help on was finally completed, and it was an absolutely lovely place. Though simple in design, and smaller than Hikawa Jinja at home, the newly christened Tsukino Jinja was enough to make the normally reserved girl beam in delight. She wasn't the sort to run around squealing, but inwardly she was definitely making some very unrefined sounds of glee! The young miko definitely had her work cut out for her, decorating it, though.

The central honden was a single, cozy tatami room with an altar and a brazier set up for meditation, prayer, and flame reading. It would be warm and dry, much nicer than the tent she'd been using for such things. The guild had even erected a small fence, and a proper torii gate in the entrance. Rei had consecrated the ground herself, hard work that she loved. There was something refreshing about meditation, purification, and preparing all of the sacred things that went into preparing the temple. It served a dual purpose, this ritual was also a way for the girl to wash away her sadness at losing yet another friend. Viral's things had disappared from House 3 shortly after the Kin'Corans had vanished. She'd appreciated the Beastman and his strange, inhuman ways, but it wasn't nearly as harsh as losing Usagi.

Rei can be found working at the shrine throughout the entire day, carving, doing calligraphy, and working various forms of Shinto rites. Its not finished, but she's accepting visitors and offering flame readings.

Around lunchtime, she opens up the journal and sends out a few messages]


Voice, Filtered to Brave Vesperia.

Hello everyone, this is Rei Hino. I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who worked on the shrine building. Words are not enough to convey how grateful I am for your hard work, so I made something for each of you. If you have time, please visit me here and I will give it to you, along with a blessing.

Good Afternoon, Luceti. My name is Rei Hino, and I would like to welcome all of the New Feathers who've just begun arriving. I hope that you are able to adjust to life here without much difficulty. If there is anything that I can do to help, please feel free to contact me.

I would also like to announce the opening of the Tsukino Shrine. It is a place for anyone who wishes to come and recieve a fortune telling, a blessing, or a charm. Also, it is open for anyone who wishes to come and meditate or find a quiet place to spend time. I hope that everyone who visits can find some measure of peace and good cheer here. Please come visit and enjoy the shrine. The person it is dedicated to would have loved having many visitors who spend time here. I would also make it known that should anyone be interested, I will be offering flame readings every day barring shifts and other complications.

Finally, I'd like to inform those that knew him that Viral-san has returned home. If you wish to offer a traveler's prayer for him, then please do not hesitate to visit me and I can show you how to do so. I know that he will need a lot of luck and well wishes in his home, so please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.

Thank you for listening, I wish everyone well.

[Action, House 3]

[Its an unbearably hot day, even for Rei who's used to Tokyo summers. Normally this would leave her with time to read, but after everything that had happened recently, its just left her feeling worse. Her fortune telling the last month had left her with a lot of anguish, as she'd seen nothing but death and despair for the people that came to visit. It was made worse by her fateful encounter with Harry Dresden, who'd Soulgazed her and forced her to bare her soul to a total stranger. Helios and Donatello had died, and she'd been trapped in space unable to prevent it, and then there was her recent battle with Viral. Rei had managed to keep up a good front, remaining calm and collected outside, but now that she was alone, there was nothing holding back her tears.

Anyone who happens to be in the Senshi house can probably hear the muffled sounds of a crying girl who's completely overwhelmed right now. Perhaps it might be good to talk? Rei would definitely appreciate it.]


[Voice/Action, Early Evening]

[She's calmed down a bit, regaining her usual poise, and now that things have cooled down Rei can be found out at her little tent shrine, meditating on a lot of things, including her connection with Eferin. Rei had spent a significant portion of her time the last month communing with the spirit, her powerful connection to flame helping her learn from the capricious Filial spirit. As the sun dwindles and twilight starts, the young miko stokes the brazier she keeps running, drawing on Eferin's power to do so, and opens her journal. She figured that she should make a greeting broadcast and remind people that she was willing to read fortunes.]

Good evening Luceti. My name is Rei Hino, and I would like to welcome all of the New Feathers who have recently arrived. I maintain some semblance of a shrine here just outside the village and I offer fortune telling to anyone who wishes to see their future. I will remain in the shrine for a time tonight if you feel like making the walk. I would be pleased to help you and provide my service whenever you need, however, should tonight be bad for you. I also provide protection charms for people who request them or need them.

I also have a question for anyone who may be listening. How are spirits viewed in your world? I've begun making connections to the Filial spirits here, and it makes me wonder. Do they speak to you in your world, or are they silent? Are they a conduit to learning Magic as they are here? If you don't believe in them, why?

[Voice, Private to Harry Dresden]
Harry-san, I would like to speak with you when you are available.

[Voice, Private to Viral]
Viral-san, I would like to speak with you when you are available.

(ooc: Feel free to stop by the shrine if you want a fortune and a charm.)
