bravenewworld | Third Prayer [Action/Video] (As well as action throughout the week!)

[It's been a fairly busy few weeks for Rei, really, and she hasn't had a whole lot of time to really do a whole lot that wasn't training. The Shrine had needed tending, to be sure, and preparations for fall had gone well but getting out of Union had been her real priority lately. This weekend, though, it was time for a bit of a breather before heading out to investigate rumors of ruins being opened up. The week before had been somewhat intense, with lots of close calls, and a big surprise towards the end.

Hellenes had finally evolved, as Asemu had said she would. As a result, she felt she owed her childhood friend a thank you for the suggestion, and spent some time setting things in motion. There were, of course, other things to address too...which results in a few video snippets going out.]

Private to Eiji Hino:

Eiji-kun, there's something I'd like to talk to you about, when you get home from work.

Private to Asemu:

Asemu-kun, I have something for you, when you have some free time. Is there a time this week we could meet up?

Private to Honoka and Usagi:

Honoka-san, Usagi-chan...I know I've mentioned each you to one another by now, and I think introductions are in order. It's only proper and I wanted to facilitate it.

Also, Usagi-chan, do you have free time this week?

[And a more general announcement, one forced out of her by her grandfather. She doesn't seem to mind, but it's clear the old man in the background is really the one who wants the announcement made...]

Open Video:

For those of you who do not know me, my name is Rei Hino, and I'm one of the priests at Hikawa Shrine, and my grandfather wanted me to formally invite anyone who is interested to visit our temple. With fall now here, and winter time approaching...it seems like a good time to advertise our services as fortune tellers, charm-makers and exorcists. If you feel like you could use some good fortune or extra protection we happily provide those services, as well as helping drive away evil spirits that may be troubling you.

The shrine too, is just open for visitors who want a quiet place to relax, or travelers in need of a place to stay. If you feel the need, please let us know so arrangements can be made.

Thank you, be well.

[And closing out the feed, Rei just goes about her day.

She will be at Hikawa Shrine and around Union for the early part of the week, but later on she heads down into the Coastal Ruins, carefully picking her way through the ruined streets of the lost civilization. Places like this both intrigued and terrified her, which is why she'd jumped at the chance to visit. The general atmosphere doesn't seem to be affecting her quite the way it ought to, a fact that friends might find more than a little bit strange...]

((ooc: Action here or the Ruins is fine!))

[Because you have a new resident in your shrine, this also means that he's vaguely interested in what you do on a regular basis.]

What sort of charms? [Birds like shiny things.]

Edited 2014-10-05 05:50 (UTC)

Good luck charms, mostly, but also some for protection.

[He's probably seen them around. Knit cloth over a small shard of wood or other things. Not really shiny...]

[He tsks.]

Boring.

They aren't really for your entertainment. They're to keep you safe and happy...

Isn't entertainment a sub-category of happiness? To be entertained is to be happy.

Entertainment can make you happy. But that isn't what these do. They help keep you happy by keeping you healthy.

[He nods a little. That made enough sense.]

Do they work?

Of course they work.

So if I get one, this body will always be healthy?

It will help, yes.

How do I get one?

Come to the shrine, if you're not here already. And then ask me. Nicely.

I don't do nice, you know that already.

Ankh-san, you can manage to say please.

[Honestly, featherbrain.]

[The -san will always put him off just slightly.]

Not a word in my vocabulary.

Then maybe you should learn it.

[A petulant squawk of a sound.]

It's not a hard word to learn, you know.

I didn't say it was. I just don't want to.

Then I guess you won't be getting a charm, now will you?

[Puff.]

I didn't want one of your crummy charms anyway!

Well, if you change your mind you know where to find me.

Also, is rice alright for dinner, or would you prefer bread?

[gndfjkgb. HUMANS ARE FRUSTRATING CREATURES.]

I-- what? Rice is fine. [He'll eat pretty much anything that isn't poultry, though sort of dubiously and he never eats very much.]

Alright, I just wanted to make sure you're well fed.

[Guestright is an important thing, okay?]

[He blusters a bit at that.]

I can eat fine on my own!!
