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?

Yeah, but I have one! [She grins.] Want to try it?

Disguise pen! Turn Rei-chan into a beautiful boy!

[She is so lucky the pen is not actually out and Rei isn't actually there.]

[flameandpassion]

Hilarious, Usagi.

[Do it and she will beat you up for real. 8|]

[buntails.livejournal.com]

I thought so.

[She wouldn't dare.]

You just need to lighten up.

[flameandpassion]

Of all the people you know, I am not the one to be told 'lighten up', thanks.

[buntails.livejournal.com]

That's true. Sasuke might need it more. Snape-sensei, too.

[flameandpassion]

I haven't spoken to Snape before, I don't think.

[buntails.livejournal.com]

He's done a lot to help people, but he's kind of... strict. [This is the nice way to say 'a jerk', really.]

[flameandpassion]

A lot of the people who do are.

[buntails.livejournal.com]

He's from the same world as Harry and everyone. They knew each other back there.

[flameandpassion]

So he's a wizard?

[buntails.livejournal.com]

Yeah. He was one of their teachers! He's really good at potions and things. He's really great at a lot of magic, really. He even made something for me once.

[flameandpassion]

He should talk to Cas. It sounds like they'd have a lot in common.

What did he make you?

[buntails.livejournal.com]

He charmed a bird for me when I was feeling sad after Mamo-chan left. [Which is part of why it meant so much to her.

Snape, however, probably wishes he never gave Usagi the excuse to think he's a nice person.]

[flameandpassion]

-- that was nice of him, for being a jerk.

[Rei speaks Usagi. Strict = jerk. Yup.]

[buntails.livejournal.com]

[A year ago, this would have been her cue to say something like 'not as much as you are' or some equally immature insult. Rei's harsh. This time, she gives a small laugh.]

He's not really that bad.
