bravenewworld | Sixth Prayer: Blazing Soul [Video/Action]

Action, near the Flower Grove:

[Evening had fallen, coming on quicker than she'd expected and Rei hadn't brought along any of the Pokemon she had that could teleport her or fly them home, so camping for the night had been the best bet. With Makoto and other friends not really prepared for a trek home in the dark, in this weather, it was the safest bet, anyway. And with her and Casius' natural body heat, it wasn't exactly like the large tent was anything short of cozy. Dinner had been simple, and sleep had come easily after a hard day of training and searching.

And then the dream started. Intense emotions swelled in Rei and it wasn't long before she woke up gasping, hands clutching at her chest. Breathing was hard, the air in the tent cloying and almost humid, and she stumbled out with a choked off cry. Which was when the change hit her. There was little chance of anyone or anything in the area missing her surprised scream. A sudden, intense shock of psychic power rippled across the nearby area, a psychokinetic shockwave not unlike the clouds that precede a volcanic eruption.,

Then came the fire. Lots of fire. A pillar of flame stabbed into the heavens over the little campsite, melting snow and frightening away a flock of now awakened Pidgey. At the center of it all, Rei threw up her arms and screamed again, desperately trying to find some way to make it calm down, to get control again so the spectacle doesn't continue. It's too much, a display of power she'll likely never manage again. And one that's bound to attract some sort of attention.]

[When Rei addresses the network this evening, there's some obvious differences in her appearance than the last time she'd used the Warp Band. The first, perhaps most obvious, is the glowing sigil on her forehead and the burning orbs in the air around her. The second is the way the light catches her eyes, and the sheer intensity of them. They'd always been bright, but there's something new there, a not-quite fire dancing behind them. Her voice is light, almost amused, but also touched with a bit of worry. She's tired of this.]

So I've been having nightmares the past few nights. Bad ones about falling and drowning and worse. I thought I'd try and get away from them tiring myself out with some training, but that hasn't seemed to have helped. How do you deal with them?

[It's a call for help and advice in general, and at the same time she's hoping that it'll bring certain others to contact her too. They'd know who they were. If they don't think, the other Senshi can expect a private text message sent to them the next morning, simply asking if they have time to talk.]

[ Like history repeating itself? Haruka frowns. ]

You've been busy.

No more than I should be. I'd hoped evolving a second time would make the dreams less...troubling. I was wrong.

Were there more specifics?

[ Because let's face it, that would be really useful. ]

No. Unfortunately.

[At least not things that she wants to discuss over the network openly ]

I still don't know what any of this really means, you know.

We'll meet. Soon.

[ Now that she's got a full headcount....if they can pull Ami away from her new job. But for the fate of the world, she's going to have to deal.

Sigh. This is going to involve talking to Usagi, isn't it. Fortunately Haruka is very good at putting on her big boy trousers.

They're full of noble suffering. ]

Oh? Taking charge now, are you?

[Frankly, she's wondered just what Haruka and Michiru have been hiding all this time. She's not stupid, she can feel how guarded their thoughts are and how they seem to keep all but her at arms length while letting her come to elbow's length. Maybe it's the Evolution talking. Or maybe she's just getting tired of it.]

Look forward to it.

[ If you do, that will make one of them. She's smirking, though. ]

And keep an eye out. Your senses are probably the sharpest now. If anything happens, we need to be ready.

[ She's biased in Michiru's favor, but, yeah. Twice-evolved shrine maiden is no slouch either. ]

Always.

[But did you mean for this to be public?]

You be ready, too. There's something coming, I can feel that much.

[You might say she has a bad feeling about this...]

[ Anyone bored enough to overhear this is desperate enough for entertainment Haruka can cover their tracks. She's fine. ]

We'll talk again.
