2 [Accidental Video Post]

[flameandpassion]

[Rei is sitting, cross-legged, in front of a small fire she has built outside of her new home. She's intensely focused on the fire, palms pressed together, chanting softly to herself words that cannot be picked up by the PCD. After a good five or six minutes of feed, she pushes herself up, frustrated, turning to a seemingly invisible spot.]

Nothing... nothing, Phobos! I don't see anything about Usagi or the other girls... what should I do?

[She continues speaking to thin air, adding various hand gestures.]

If the fire can't find them, then... they must really be gone.

ooc: To those who have drank the purple juice, Phobos is a black crow that is Rei's new imaginary friend. To those who haven't had the purple juice, then she's officially lost her nut. ♥

[Jean wanders out slowly, kind of interested in why there's a fire in the yard, not that he minds really. She wouldn't be starting them if she didn't know what she was doing, right? Right? He so hopes that's right.

The looking for friends thing, he had been really lucky with, at least he had a few here already when he had arrived. Some like her and Ai weren't so lucky it seemed.]

Rei?
If .. if you're cold y'can just .. use th'fire place in th'house?

[Offline] Aww, it's okay! I just threw this up because the event started. xD

[flameandpassion]

[Rei spins on her heels, a bucket of water in hand, only looking slightly embarassed. Phobos the crow rests on her shoulder, peering intently at Havoc. Not that he can see him.]

Oh -- I'm not cold, I'm fine, I just...

[Her cheeks tinge pink. Her rituals look bizarre to those on the outside... she only needed half of Tokyo to remind her of that.]

I can use fire to get visions, to see things, of other places and people. I was...trying to see if my friends were okay. I'm really sorry, it was just an idea I had this morning, I should've asked first.

[Offline] LOL it's all good, it's entirely my faut. I'll fix it up later today, Promise.

[Nope, can't see the crow to save his life. He's luckily unaffected for this event at least. He does get a nice curious look floating onto his face when she starts to blush and apologize. That curiosity continues on into a little bit of surprise listening to her explain that really incredible power of hers. He'll mention something about it later, but until then, more pressing issues.]

Naahhh, Told'ja, this is your home too. I just.. I got worried somethin' was wrong. I'm real sorry y'can't find anythin' out about your friends, Rei.. From what I know livin' here so long though.. People tell me that perhaps time freezes when we're gone or some sorta somethin' like that. When we go back, we're taken back without memory n' all that sorta thing right back t'where we were.

[He's dreading that day personally. Simply because of where he'll be.]

[Offline] Sounds good!

[flameandpassion]

Yeah... I gathered.

[Rei, too, is both dreading and eagerly awaiting returning. The last she saw of home, Chibiusa and Usagi were facing down the Wise Man, together... probably in face of certain death. And Rei had been unable to do anything.

The priestess forces a smile, but it doesn't reach her eyes. She, for a moment, looks older than she actually is.]

It's nothing, really. I just thought I would give it a shot to see if I could get lucky, but I guess the spirits here are stronger than I thought. They're blocking anything I could do... so... back to square one, right?

[She presses her hands together.]

Can I help you with anything?

[2ndlt-jeanhavoc.livejournal.com]

[Jean frowns to that forced smile, but he allows a small break in his frown to smile back at her, wishing he could give her something than just ... well nothing. He hasn't been able to give her anything to go on but 'don't try'. He finds this absolutely unacceptable.

His head nods as he agrees 'spirits' are stronger, the Animus are omnipotent here.]

Well, not square one, y'just gotta try a different direction.

[Jean looks from the house to Rei and then nods his head.]

Yeah,if y'wouldn't mind puttin' out th'fire n' givin'me a hand brushin' the little ones. 'Sides, I got somethin' I wanna talk t'ya about, but I don't want th'outside ears hearin' if there's any around.

[He headed in toward the house.]

[Offline]

[flameandpassion]

Sure.

[Rei promptly dumps the water on the fire and watches as it fizzles out quickly. A dead end, but maybe Jean was right. She just has to try looking in a different direction... what that direction is, she has absolutely no idea, but Rei is confident in her abilities and knows she can figure something out.

Besides, time to focus on the present. She idly wonders what Jean wants to talk to her about, but brushes it aside quickly and follows the lieutenant inside the house.]

What's up?

[2ndlt-jeanhavoc.livejournal.com]

[Jean holds open the door for her, gentleman as always and shuts it once she's in. Old habits to make sure that people are in the house securely. Go in first, shut the door last.

He scoops up a little red fox kit and grabs a brush, sitting down and patting the seat... Not so close beside him, just, on the couch so that it doesn't seem like he's being a creeper.]

Y'say y'use fire t'see stuff right?
Back home, I work for th'greatest man in

all

Amestris- my home country- his name's Colonel Roy Mustang.

[He rolls the little kit onto its side and starts to brush it while he talks, ever careful and gentle.]

Don't tell him I said this, he'd never let me live it down but, there's no man greater than th'Colonel. Not one single one.

Reason I tell y'this is cause of two things.. In our world we have somethin' called Alchemy. I'm not too bright on th'subject but we do, our Military- which I'm a part of- hires on Alchemists as State Alchemists and gives 'em code names. My Colonel is known as th'"

Flame

Alchemist".
Now.. I said there's no man greater, and I stand by that, but I also add, there's no man greater with his ability than Roy Mustang- close second is Major Elric and his brother, but neither use fire.

[He rolls the kit over, brushing away little paws with gentle large hands so he can brush her belly.]

If there's a way t'see things with fire.. Colonel Roy Mustang's th'man t'talk to, or at least maybe he'd be able t'help some way with fire, maybe. 'Course I never heard him say he

saw

anything in th'fire's he made

[Other than bodies, but he's totally not saying that.]

but it's worth a shot.

OOC: had a run of bad luck the last couple days so I apologize that the house thing isn't updated.
There'll be things here: http://2ndlt-jeanhavoc.livejournal.com/3681.html
And the text driven is: http://2ndlt-jeanhavoc.livejournal.com/2942.html
Maps will follow shortly and you're welcome to pick what bedroom and also you'll be able to see the guest house.

[Rei sits on the couch, not bothered at all by proximity, and listens carefully to the story. Her expression softens at the idea, but she knows it's almost next to pointless. She's never met anyone else with the abilities she has... but she appreciates Jean trying. And hey, perhaps a talk with Colonel Mustang could help.]

I'll look into it... I don't know if he'll be able to help.

[She tucks her hair behind her ears, her brow furrowing into a frown.]

I was trying to look for my friends... sometimes, I have visions, of the future, the past, things going on, and a lot of times I can call upon the spirits to look at other things. There's a connection here with my spirits, I can feel it, but I can't look outwards towards home.

[She tickles a kit between the ears, carefully of small teeth.]

Which means I really am stuck here.
