73 [Video]

[flameandpassion]

[Rei is sitting on the floor, her knees to her chest. Her back is pressed against an invisible wall -- a chamber, of sorts, made out of energy. She is perfectly still, breathing slow and even, her eyes fixated on whatever is in front of her.

The feed continues this way for five minutes, then ten -- and still, Rei does not move, save for her fingers moving in tiny intricate designs upon her legs. She doesn't even blink. Her expression is completely blank and neutral, devoid of emotion.

Finally, the priestess speaks, and her tone is perfectly even. She does not look at the camera.]

I know what you did. I saw it. You can hide as long as you want, but I'll find out. I'm not going to stop looking until I know the truth. He deserves more dignity than what you gave him.

[She is silent for a moment or two more before she inhales deeply.]

I need to speak to Sam and Dean Winchester. And Raven. In person.

[Another pause.]

...I'm fine now.

[Four hours of solid meditation works wonder for the anger of hellfire.]

[Okay, that's so creepy, Gabriel HAS to break radio silence.]

Uh. You aren't gonna climb out of a well or tell anyone they're gonna die in seven days, are you?

[flameandpassion]

[Ordinarily, she would toss him a flat look. Instead, she shifts to actually look at the camera, uncertain.

Then, it hits her -- he doesn't know. There was no other explanation for his nonchalance.

Her fingers curl into the edge of her pants abruptly, knuckles white.]

I need to talk to you, too.

[checkoutpandora.livejournal.com]

...And now I'm concerned on multiple levels.

Learning the truth will get you nothing.

[Raphael knows. Of course she does. For a moment, Rei wants to snap at her, but she quells her anger abrurptly with a breath.]

I am going to find out.

[This time, there is an edge of conviction.]

Whether or not the person who murdered him wants me to or not.

Rei-chan... Are you feeling better now?

[She's been worried. Worried about Rei acting that way (worried about everyone acting that way), worried that Rei will be angry, worried that someone else will get hurt, too.]

[Video]

[flameandpassion]

I'm not going to attack anyone.

[It's pointless to say yes. She obviously isn't fine. She's humiliated and heartbroken. But she isn't homicidal. Which she supposes is something.]

No, you're not.

[Hino, you're trapped in a box. On a public feed. Saying you're fine.]

[flameandpassion]

[She doesn't bother tossing him the withering look that she knows is in her somewhere. Instead, her shoulders slump and her fingers press into her forehead.]

I'm in my right mind.

[It's said tiredly, as a correction.]

[Raven answers several hours later and via text. The last 48 hours have already been among the worst Raven has had in Adstring. And Rei's message lets her suspect it's not about to get any better.]

I suppose this is important. Where do you want to meet?

[Text//Private//Unhackable]

[flameandpassion]

The Tower. Two hours.

[saucey]

....Right. "Fine."

[flameandpassion]

...better.

[Jinx is sitting in a bathtub. It's empty, she's fully clothed, and she's just sitting there with her legs thrown over the edge.

She offers a guilty, lopsided smirk.]

Did the rabies finally wear off?

[There's a brief hesitation before she inclines her head towards the camera.]

I'm stuck in a cage.

[... with the tiniest ounce of dryness attached.]

[hyuugahime]

... Hino-san? What ... what happened? What is going on? Why is Raven-san involved in this?

[There is a very thinly veiled 'she's my teammate and you're my friendsand yet you keep things from me all the time' hidden in there.]

[flameandpassion]

... Castiel told me to talk to her.

[That -- really pains her to say.]

If something happened.

[bunny_flower]

Well, it seems Hitugaya-taichou had his hands full.

[flameandpassion]

[Erk. She owes him the entire planet.]

... yeah. He did.

What happened?

voice;

[flameandpassion]

I let someone get to me that I shouldn't have.

[ocean-souled.livejournal.com]

Maa, next time you kick a hornet's nest Rei-san, do try to leave the rest of the city out of it, ne?

[Because considering Rei's comment under the senshi filter before this started, and seeing the conversation with Usagi, Michiru's got a rough idea of how things happened. But there is a hint of teasing in her tone]

I am told he will return, and we would have to fudge some of the details, but we could put together a proper funeral.

[flameandpassion]

[She is silent, for a long moment, before Rei draws in a breath.]

He wouldn't see the point. It'd annoy him. And --

I don't know where his body is.

I'll be there in two hours. Are you by yourself?
