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.]

[Another new face!]

Heraldry?

[heraldry-sword.livejournal.com]

That sort of magic you used! That's what we call it on my world, anyway- which, come to think of it, might not apply now, since this isn't my world anyway.

[Slightly embarrassed, but pleased. He has legs again, after all! And two dragon heads peering over his shoulders. The reddish one looks more interested.]

I'm Ashton! Can I ask your name?

[flameandpassion]

[Mars grins a little at the enthusiasm.]

Mars, for now. It's nice to meet you, Ashton.

[She glances over him, though, with interest.]

Who's your friend?

[heraldry-sword.livejournal.com]

Mars, then! I know a town called that-

These guys are Gyoro and Ururun. [The red one, Gyoro, makes a squawking noise. Sounds sort of like a really messed up seagull.] -He says he can appreciate your sentiment.

[flameandpassion]

I bet it's a great town.

[She can be a little self-indulgent -- but Mars looks far more interested in the dragons.]

Gyoro and Ururun --

[Mars waggles her fingers slightly to say hello. It's only polite.]

[heraldry-sword.livejournal.com]

It's very nice!

[Notices the interest in the dragons; so does Gyoro, at least, who leans forward to bump snout to PCD screen, squeak-hiss, then pull back and-

-promptly breathe a stream of fire juuust off the edge of the screen, only missing the device because Ashton yelps and grabs it out of the way.]
