Apples, hm. That's pretty harmless, for the Animus. Let's hope it lasts.

[But it's quiet, distracted -- if only a little. There is the sound of a thunk -- Rei is outside, collecting apples.]

Are we going to do anything for Halloween again, this year?

[And the feed cuts off -- and now, to business.]

Remember how I told you that I would let you know if I didn't trust anyone in the police force?

[She pauses.]

-- I'd like to talk to you. In person, please. I can meet you wherever you want to meet.

[Filtered to Nathaniel // Private // Unhackable]

Still serious on helping make this city a better place?

[... alright, Rei can get off her high horse for ten seconds.]

Well -- I guess it could have more useful purposes here.

[buntails.livejournal.com]

Hmmmm... [She draws the word out in one of her rare thoughtful modes.]

Hey, Rei-chan, couldn't it be useful? I mean, like when Winter comes, giving people warm clothes.

[That sort of plan needs detailing badly; but it could work out if they found a way to work around the need to change clothes.]

[exarmatio]

Something like that, yes! We should talk to Miss Hanna!

Modern American, I guess. It's the same no matter where I've gone in my time.

Why not just have candy any time?

( Party? Kind of like a dress up party... how odd. )

What's the point of that? I don't get what people are celebrating.

[Private | Unhackable]

[knew-anyway.livejournal.com]

You'll have to explain that to me sometime.

But, thank you. I'll be on my way.

[The feed is cut.]

[iceandivory.livejournal.com]

Must we?

Private;

[bestestfurrend]

You knew Karkitty, right?? Karkat, I mean. He told me you did, before he left. I think he thought furry highly of you!

[saintedsinner]

I definitely do not want.

[saucey]

[He misses the fun he had with Tyki and Allen. >: Minus the whole pink fish thing and all three getting sick.]

... A hobo.

[flameandpassion]

I don't know how far that power extends past us, but it might be worth a shot to test it.

[Voice // Private // Unhackable]

[flameandpassion]

Because it's bad for you.

[Duh, Allen.]

voice:

[flameandpassion]

It's a chance to celebrate the spooky and scary, mostly. It's just a silly holiday.

[Rei will be sitting on the steps of the Temple, chin in her hands boredly, waiting for Nathaniel to show up. There's a basket of apples at her side, of all different colors, along with two crates full of apples at the bottom of the stairs. She hasn't quite worked up the energy to haul them all the way to the top -- it's a lot of stairs. And she can make Yuuichirou and Castiel do it later.]

[flameandpassion]

Maybe a vampire?

[flameandpassion]

Good choice!

I might just wear my miko robes and confuse everyone.

[Video]

[flameandpassion]

If you handle that, the senshi and I could decorate.

Private;

[flameandpassion]

[ -- ah.]

-- yeah, I did.

[She's quiet for a moment.]

Did he?

voice

[saintedsinner]

Hmm. Maybe. I could add some fake teeth to it.

[video]

[flameandpassion]

[She catches an apple.]

Yes.

[Just because you're being difficult.]

[Video]

[exarmatio]

I'll talk to her, then. I'm sure having help from the start is enough to boost the idea.

Private;

[bestestfurrend]

Uh huh! He didn't trust people furry easily but he said I could trust you and that you know which people are safe and which people aren't.

[saucey]

[Have a snort.] You going to do readings again?

[Nathaniel shows up after a long wait- he did have to walk the whole way- a bag strapped over his shoulder. He still looked far too proper to be really roughing it here- his clothing was formal, clean pressed, his hair was still mostly kempt, his shoes were clean. But even so, there was a trace of weariness that hung in the air about him, something that seemed almost like defeat, curled with exhaustion. Sleep is for people who don't have work to do, after all. Sleep is for people who don't care about nightmares.

Still. He seemed pleased enough to see her, and offered Rei a curt smile, extending his hand to shake her own.]

It's good to finally meet you in person.

[Her brow furrows slightly, at his appearance -- because Rei recognizes the way he carries himself. She shows it, on certain days, how difficult life is here -- and the people she loves the most in this place show it even more. Hitsugaya, on certain days -- Castiel, on others -- but to see it on someone as young as she is somehow makes her even more tired.

She smiles, though, and gets up to extend her own hand. She, in contrast, is dressed rather practically. A sweater, against the chill, and jeans -- sneakers. A relatively normal girl.

With special powers and an excellent ability to read people, anyway. And as Rei tilts her head slightly, to look at Nathaniel, she relaxes almost instantly. Her sense of intuition tells her that he isn't someone to fear -- at least, not yet. And she drops his hand after the handshake to slide her hands into her pockets.]

It's nice to meet you, too.

[And Rei tilts her head back towards the Temple, turning on her heel to continue up the stairs.]

Come on in. He's somewhere on the fourth floor, I think. Did you walk far?
