43 [Accidental Video]

[flameandpassion]

[The PCD is thrown, tossed aside, and it catches the last moments of Hino Rei's transformation into Sailor Mars. The flames and fire fall away to reveal the senshi of passion and war, her gloved fingers curled into fists as she stares, trembling with unreleased fury, at a large boulder, far in the distance.

Fire engulfs her hand as she reaches up to pull back her bow.]

Mars Flame Sniper!

[The arrow rockets from her fingers and, in the distance, a burst of flame -- it has hit its mark.

Without hesitation, Mars goes again.]

Mars Flame Sniper!

[Again, the arrow hits, and again, fire spreads from Mars' fingertips.]

Mars Flame Sniper!

[The boulder is now no longer there -- demolished during the second round of attack -- but the senshi doesn't seem to care.

She's beginning to grow winded, but snarls out the command regardless, the bow forming brighter than before -- ]

Mars -- Flame -- Sniper!

[The arrow flies from her fingertips, but the aim is off -- it sinks into the ground, skidding along the snow, creating a near tidal-wave of steam and water as the flames melt the ice. She stumbles backwards, her legs quivering with the effort, before she sinks to her knees in the snow, her fingers digging into the ground as she, finally, allows herself to cry.]


ooc: Cloud lost his memories, which makes for a seriously upset Sailor Mars.

I don't think that boulder deserved that.

[flameandpassion]

[She doesn't respond -- her breathing is ragged. Whether or not she heard Spike doesn't show, but her fingers twitch slightly into the show.]

...Rei.

You need to save at least some of your energy for him.

[Maybe for now, Rei doesn't know what to do to help Cloud but he's not gone and he's not dead either. So obviously, she'll find a way to help him eventually.]

[flameandpassion]

[That causes an actual reaction.

Mars glances at the PCD, her hair shielding her face.]

... I have plenty to spare.

...

Remind me never to make Rei mad.

[Concern. Really.]

[Video]

[flameandpassion]

[She isn't mad. She's heartbroken. There's a very large and dangerous difference.]

[Dammit.

He has no idea how to deal with a situation like this, but he can't leave her there either. He'll be there in about five minutes.

Think you can hold out that long, Hino?]

[flameandpassion]

[She's not going to be going anywhere. She isn't properly aware the device is recording her, although Spike alerted her to it. She should probably turn it off, but Mars can't quite bring herself to move to do it.]

... Rei-san...

[Video]

[flameandpassion]

[She doesn't move immediately, but she hears you, Negi. She just doesn't trust herself to respond.]

Rei-san?

[Video]

[flameandpassion]

Hotaru.

[al_truism]

... Rei.

[So very quietly. He remembers this. This feeling. He remembers exactly how much it hurt, that dull, grinding ache that keeps you from enjoying anything at all.]

[flameandpassion]

[It takes her a long moment, to fix the PCD, but -- ]

I'm fine now.

[A bit mechanically, but a talk with Hitsugaya works wonders sometimes.

She's not fine. But she's in control.]

[saucey]

You... Hey, everything okay?

[flameandpassion]

No.

[It's ragged and a little snappish, but after a long moment -- in a much quieter tone.]

Cloud doesn't remember who I am.

[Voice]

[haori]

[Well...that day has produced some awesome results.]

...I'm sorry.

[Voice]

[flameandpassion]

It isn't your fault.

[Hitsugaya found her. She'll be fine.]

[buntails.livejournal.com]

Rei-chan! What-?

Rei....

[Video//Private//Unhackable]

[flameandpassion]

[No answer. But there is a crack of wood.

Hitsugaya found her. And now they're destroying trees.]

[senshible.livejournal.com]

Rei-chan...?

[flameandpassion]

[Crack. Crunch. Trees.]

-- Ami.

[After a moment's pause.]

[hisbutler_bound]

Suffering child. You wear your pain on the outside where they can see.

Stand up.

*No verbal response, he's just leaving this here for her and quite likely using her reiatsu to find out where she is.*

[flameandpassion]

[She'll be right where she is, a little calmer, once he finds her, but still blowing up trees.

Welcome to the Hitsugaya Toushirou School Of Coping.]

[thelightbringer]

[Lucifer just sighs, and shakes his head slightly. Like a father, witnessing a heartbreak.

Except of course then he speaks.]

It's just a taste, Rei. You know that, don't you?

[Video]

[flameandpassion]

Shut up.

[It's something of a vicious snarl, even for Mars, because dammit, she does not want to hear it from you.]

[bunny_flower]

Hino-san ?

[flameandpassion]

Unohana-san.

[A quiet murmur.]

[hyuugahime]

Hino-san ...

[flameandpassion]

... I'm alright, Hinata.

[Hitsugaya found her. Usagi is on her way. She has herself under control.]
