Current Mood: nauseated

44 [Accidental Video -- > Voice]

[Rei, like so many others, looks mildly disorientated -- after all, she isn't within the Temple of Heaven, but is in a new house entirely. She's sitting on the floor, legs crossed, frowning to herself as she places the events of the week.

She was with Ulquiorra. And she and Hitsugaya -- but then Szayel --

The priestess presses a few fingers to her forehead with a tired sigh, muttering to herself in annoyance.

Until something hits her and she immediately launches for the PCD, not noticing the red light until she has already switched the filter.]

[Filtered to Hitsugaya & Szayel // Private // Unhackable]

Are you okay? Are you still at Kurotsuchi's?

[If you give Hitsugaya something to do, it means he's not thinking about whatever is bothering him. Besides, he likes being helpful and being useful -- may as well help her on what she needs to get done.]

He doesn't remember Adstringendum, so I don't... know. He used to.

And I'd hope he'd figure it out. He was affected too.

Then he can ask the animus to justify themselves.

Wow, Toushirou, I hadn't thought of that.

[Oh so very dryly.

But it isn't his fault that she's in a poor mood -- which is saying something, really -- so Rei sighs, stretching out her legs into the snow.

It all leads back to the same problem, really: The Inner City.]

I want to go back.

[He doesn't understand her response right away. He was being completely serious. If Cloud was asking her to justify herself for what the animus had done, then he could very well talk to the animus and see just what the fuss was all about. It wouldn't take much for anyone to understand what kind of beings they are, their sense of humor. It wouldn't take much for anyone to realize pointless fighting like that is what they thrive upon.

But that last sentence leads him to much more familiar ground.]

Ah. Before they fall back on another catastrophe like that.

Then let's do it.

[Simply. No hesitation.

She is tired of waiting for the other shoe to drop.]

When.

[Bah, Hitsu, details, that's your job, not hers. You're the captain. She just blows stuff up.

But she wrinkles her nose in thought anyway.]

As soon as possible. I don't want to wait for an event that's worse than this one. We're lucky no one died.

In that case, it would have to be this week, with enough time to ensure anyone involved will be safe before the event begins. It could be harmless, but it's impossible to know beforehand.

[He's quiet for a moment, clearly unsure of whether he should say what he's thinking of saying.]

Springfield offered his abilities for remote surveillance. Someone else mentioned remote controlled technology.

[Rei looks over at the shinigami at the mention of Negi, frowning slightly to herself. She had promised to allow Negi to help, the next time they decided to do something like this, but she still had reservations about allowing the boy into the Inner City.

Not to mention the eyes she would be under once they did it again. The lectures, the doubts, the coordination, the senshi -- ]

Can't we just do it?

[It's a joke, but it's said tiredly.]

With Springfield's abilities or remote control technology, no person would actually have to enter the inner city.

[He's not sure what she'll think of that. He's hesitant to agree to what Springfield proposed as well, but when it comes to searching while avoiding the wrath of the animus, anything but people is best.

...Even if it could injure an innocent young boy.]

[Rei doesn't say anything, but the look on her face is pretty easy to read.

She doesn't like it.

One person's abilities thrown against the Animus was simply asking for trouble -- especially if abilities are tampered with once you breach the walls, as she and Ulquiorra experienced.

And it isn't just a person, it's Negi. It would be different if it were a soldier, one of the senshi, someone trained to fight -- and while she knows Negi has been and Negi is more than capable of taking care of himself, it still seems grossly unfair to send him in alone. Rei wouldn't send anyone in alone.

In the end:]

Where are we going to get remote control technology?

[He sighs. That answers that.]

I don't know. Someone would probably have to build it from scratch.

I could ask Ami if she could try.

Mm. Ask several people. Either they can pool their resources or they can each make a separate model. We'll need several, some with specialized capabilities.

I will.

[She's very efficient.]

Feel any better?

In control.

[No point in denying anything. He knows what Hino's been doing.]

You?

Same.

[Which is better than nothing.]

Mm. Good.

Very good.
