9th Prayer: Tying the Thread [Video/Action]

[Today when Rei addresses the Warp Band, it's in her most formal attire, her clothing perfectly pressed and everything about her as positively lovely as can be. It's important to her to present this face to Union, for both of them. And for her family name. She didn't care much about how her father perceived it, but she didn't want to make trouble within the Council either. It might make things harder on Ninetales Vale, and she couldn't have that. She had responsibilities, and she had her reasons, and to be honest? She wanted to look good for the announcement.

Clearing her throat, hands folded out of view, Rei speaks in a solemn voice.]


Good afternoon, everyone. This is Rei Hino, High Priestess of Hikawa Shrine and daughter-heir of Councilman Takashi Hino. I know it's been some time since I actually broadcast anything, but something happened to me a few days ago. I've been trying to process all of it, to sort out my thoughts. As many of you know, Ami Mizuno and I have been courting one other for some time now.

[She takes a breath, lets it out, and stares significantly at the camera.]

That chapter of our lives has now come to a close. We are no longer dating.

[Lowering her eyes, Rei smiles a wispy little smile and raises her hand to show off a ring.]

We are engaged to be married, and plan to do so within the next year. I want to thank each and every one of you for your support during our courtship, and for your continued support during the transition. It brings joy to my heart knowing that some of you took time out of your day to help her with her proposal plan.

[Her eyes flick up, her lips peeling back in the happiest smile she's ever given in any sort of public appearance. It's as much a dig at a certain someone as it is an expression of genuine delight.]

Thank you for listening, and Happy Salvation to all of you.

[Closing down the feed, Rei lets out a breath and awaits the inevitable flood of visitors, neighbors and callers. It's going to be a busy day.]

((ooc: Ami may threadjack threads here and there, and Rei can be found in Hikawa Shrine if you'd prefer in person interactions.))
wise_maiden: (should we try and stay)

[The warp band communication only reminds Raine that she had been intending on paying another visit to the shrine anyway. She had already visited a few times, so it wasn't an unusual choice; besides, she had a few things to deliver anyway.

She finds a seat to sit and wait patiently for either woman not to be too busy.]
wise_maiden: (waiting to change)

[The pikachu accompanying her perks up at the interruption, not seeming very intimidated just yet as it had been dozing off out of boredom. Raine tilts her head, not having met this particular pokemon yet.

Still, a fire type... it's not too much deduction to figure out who he could be partner's with.]


Hm? Why hello. [Even if it's not being exactly friendly, but... she can understand the sentiment.] I wonder if you're here on Miss Rei's orders, or just investigating.
wise_maiden: (at least for the moment)

[personal profile] wise_maiden 2015-12-16 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
Not at all. I'm sure he's just not used to seeing strange faces around. [She rises, with a polite courtesy.] My apologies for stopping by with little notice.
wise_maiden: (the power to shine)

[personal profile] wise_maiden 2015-12-16 05:22 am (UTC)(link)
I've been well enough. Staying here in Union is still something of an adjustment, but time just seems to be flying by. Oh, and congratulations, by the way.

[She does have a couple of small wrapped packages which the Pikachu is watching on the bench.]
wise_maiden: (but the time has come to move along)

[personal profile] wise_maiden 2015-12-17 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
As I understand it's a bold move even by Union's standards... but you've always seemed strong in your convictions to me.

[And that's likely as much as she'll say on the subject, as she retrieves the small packages from the bench.] In any case, I've brought these for you and Ami. They're thank-you gifts, which seemed appropriately timed for this holiday.
wise_maiden: (by the lives that i have loved)

[personal profile] wise_maiden 2015-12-19 08:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[To it's credit, the parcel seems to be wrapped securely, the weight just about what one would expect from a paperweight.]

You're quite welcome. After all, neither of you had to help me either, so don't worry about it.
wise_maiden: [ pureoptimism @ lj ] (you're up all night thinking it's over)

[personal profile] wise_maiden 2015-12-19 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Hm? If you'd like to, go right ahead.
wise_maiden: (the sky is a hazy shade of winter)

[personal profile] wise_maiden 2015-12-21 08:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[Raine waits quietly while Rei opens the package.

In it is a small, carefully wrapped paperweight, which has the appearance of crystallized castform in it's sunny form, in orange and red of course. The unopened gift, Ami's, is similarly sized, and of the hail form.]
wise_maiden: (she says she's fine but she lies)

[personal profile] wise_maiden 2015-12-22 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
I'm glad you like it. I have to admit, it wasn't easy getting the model for that particular gift to remain in that form for too long...
wise_maiden: (thankful for small favors)

[personal profile] wise_maiden 2015-12-22 11:41 pm (UTC)(link)
You're welcome. Ah, and you'll see that Ami receives my gift as well?
wise_maiden: (by the lives that i have loved)

[personal profile] wise_maiden 2015-12-22 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[She nods, and gives another small curtsey.] Wonderful. We'll take our leave of you then, I'm certain you must have a lot to attend to.
