71 [Video] 12:20 AM.

[flameandpassion]

[It's dark outside -- pitch black, with only the softest sound of footsteps squelching in the mud. There's the briefest flash of white as Hino Rei drops her PCD onto the ground, where it bounces lightly. The girl is sopping wet -- aftermath from the abrupt draining of the water from Adstringendum -- but her eyes are bright and she appears happy as can be.

-- and then, fire engulfs her.

It's a column of flame, and it lasts for at least twenty seconds, before it falls away to reveal Mars, in her glory, perfectly dry and unharmed. She looks down at her gloves before grinning to herself, casting a glance down at the PCD, where she notices the red light. Instead of being bothered, Mars picks up the device.]

If this place floods one more time, I'll go to the Animus myself and deliver a complaint.

[But it's hard to take the threat seriously -- Mars looks a lot happier than she has in the past week. With a final smile, the senshi clicks off the feed.

And no, she is not apologizing for waking anyone up.

You people do it to her all the time.]

I think you left the stove on. [YAY FRILLLESS TROLLING.]

[flameandpassion]

I learned my lesson after Cas nearly killed himself.

[Is she joking? Is she serious? YOU WILL NEVER KNOW. She is probably being totally serious.]

[painhumbles.livejournal.com]

Why would you let him anywhere near a stove? He's like a small child.

[That wasn't something Shuichi expected a little past midnight. But he's glad the water is gone. His poor garden...]

I'm sure you wouldn't be alone in that petition.

[flameandpassion]

I don't know -- I know a lot of people who love the water.

[elegantthorns.livejournal.com]

Mm. There are plenty who loathe it too. [He knows one fire demon that just arrived who does.]

And, I'm not sure there was anyone that enjoyed the week of rain, or the damage it brought.

Where are these Animus?

[flameandpassion]

-- Colonel?

[Mars sounds shocked. She missed his arrival.]

It seems I run into an old friend everywhere I turn.

[checkmychainyo.livejournal.com]

...What was that just now?

[He means her transformation. What is a magical girl]

[flameandpassion]

What was what?

[She's used to everyone knowing by now -- so Kurapica's question doesn't really sink in.]

[checkmychainyo.livejournal.com]

Your...transformation. [Is that the right word?]

[Jinx is laying right on the ground, in the mud, in the dark. She looks happy as a clam.]

I have no idea what you're wearing and I don't even care right now. There's fresh air and grass and--that is a really short skirt, Rei.

[...]

It's my uniform.

[A ball of flame appears in her right hand and Mars smiles at it.]

I wanted to feel it again. I can't do this underwater -- obviously.

How generous of you to light my way. I can see you even from here.

[flameandpassion]

You're still here.

[It's said absently, but her eyes flicker towards the camera, as she dusts off her gloves.]

[ocean-souled.livejournal.com]

[Yes, Michiru is already awake. Mostly because about twenty minutes ago she had a rather undignified fall as the water (and her mermaid tail) disappeared. So she's none too happy right now]

Still flashy as ever, I see.

[flameandpassion]

Water isn't my thing, Michiru.

[She doesn't look bothered at the teasing.]

[Video | Private]

[stepford-smiles.livejournal.com]

[And Mami looks a little startled.]

You're a magical girl.

[flameandpassion]

...I guess you could call it that.

[heraldry-sword.livejournal.com]

[As he watches, he goes from worried (she's on fire!) to relieved (she's not!) to impressed.]

That's really something, miss. I've never seen heraldry like that!

[flameandpassion]

[Another new face!]

Heraldry?

[saucey]

[Pretend this is his normal 'i don't know about that' face.]

...Good luck with that.

[flameandpassion]

I'm pretty confident about my ability to tell someone to shove it.

[Usagi didn't exactly mind being a mermaid. So you get teased, Rei.]

We should have had one last water fight first.
