81 [Accidental Video]

[Rei is sitting on the edge of her bed, carefully toweling off her hair. It looks like she's just gotten out of the shower, as she's wrapped in a huge towel, and her hair is still wet. Her fingers are carefully working out any knots as she dries out her hair, but the more she works at it, the more her eyes droop, almost as if she's drifting off to sleep.

-- but then she jolts awake, her fingers yanking the towel off of her head as she steels herself to stay awake, but it soon proves to be a fruitful effort, as her eyes just slowly close again. She stays that way, for a long moment, before Rei shakes her head slightly, carefully tucking her towel into place as she reaches up to pin up her hair, in order to begin brushing it out without it getting tangled.]

Just because it's Sunday doesn't mean you can sleep whenever you want, Hino.

[It's quiet, but there's a slight tinge of relief to her tone.

Those dreams are finally going to be over.]

[Awk....ward.....]

It's on. [THANK GOD THERE'S NO RHODE.]

[ . . . ]

Okay.

[She's not showing anything. 8| Her uniform is more revealing.]

... Just so you know.

[Dude, all you're wearing is a towel. At least you have under things on with your uniform :|]

[Siiiiiiigh.]

Thanks for letting me know.

[She's getting dressed. 8|]

How are you guys over there?

Sure.

Better. Dealing with things, or helping him to.

Both affected?

He was. I just helped him.

You should rest anyway.

[Oh, it's on. ... ah well.]

I can sleep tonight.

*He's seen plenty of people in skimpier, anyway.*

How much did you sleep last week?

... enough.

*B| This face says you'd better be telling the truth.*

I slept when the dreams let me sleep.

[8|]

[She'd warn Rei about the video, but teasing is more fun. Besides, Rei's still covered enough.]

Everyone's tired after last week. It's only normal to want to take a nap.

[Their uniform is more revealing, okay.]

Yeah, but if I sleep now, I'll wake up at two in the morning.

[True.

And it's also true that Rei's right about sleep patterns. Clearly, they should do something to stay awake for awhile.]

Hey, why don't we work on fixing some of our winter clothes? It's really gotten cold lately.

And if you prick your finger, it'll keep you awake. [Usagi, how is that joke even appropriate?]

I don't prick my fingers, thanks. That's you.

[8|]

Come on up, though. I'll just get dressed.

And just why are you assuming it's me? [Usagi. Track record.

She'll be there once this is cleared up. After a few hours of arguing.]

Because it's you.

[When Usagi shows up, Rei is brushing out her hair. Finally. And is dressed, but in loose clothing. Pajamas, it looks like. She fully intends on going to bed early tonight.]

[Usagi peeks into the room, arms overfull of several pieces of clothing. She either totally plans to use Rei's sewing tools, or she's brought some that are hidden beneath the garments.]

Can I come in?

Yeah, it's open.

[She's pinning up her hair quickly.]

[Well then, Usagi will just make herself at home, putting the clothes on the end of the bed while Rei finishes.]

I brought everything I need to work on. Where's yours? [She turns her head around to look for it.] I'll get it out for you.

Thanks -- it's in my closet.

[It's her coat from last winter. The lining needs to be redone.]

[Usagi slips the coat off its hook and brings it over to the bed.]

It looks warm.

[The bad news? You have fallen asleep.

The good news? You have found the missing archangel who vanished without a trace when he tried to save Castiel from DYING IN REAL LIFE.

The... Worst news is the fact that he's dressed like a fucking priss and this suspiciously ain't Kansas, Adstringendum, or Earth. IT'S ALL SPARKLY.]

You really gotta stop doing that, princess.

[Nope. Nothing unusual here. Oh wait, does princess sound like a title of respect and not... Gabriel being a dick? WHY IS HE WEARING THAT?

WHY THE FUCK IS EVERYTHING SO SPARKLY?]

[The first instinct Rei has whenever she sees things that aren't real?

Blame Gabriel.]

This isn't funny. At all. It's not cute or charming or witty. It's annoying. So get me out of here before --

[ ... but wait, this looks -- really familiar. And -- ...

Shit.

Her fingers press into her temples with an irritated growl.]

Great.

[Pseudo-Gabriel the inexplicably not-theme-named servant of love and justice and sparkly moon castles just looks really offended.]

You're still having those dreams, right? Dammit. I was really hoping to get news back to the Queen that we were making progress. She's worried sick.

[And probably eating her weight in sparkly cakes and making Endymion want to die. You know. Typical the Bold and the Short-Skirted Bullshit.]

Gabriel, just -- shut up.

[Somewhat irately, as Rei shoves herself up, to look out the ~~locked~~ window. It was it -- the Kingdom. As it was, a hundred years ago. But that makes no sense.

-- neither do her memories. And suddenly, the girl has an overwhemingly large headache.]

Let me out of here.

I can't do that. The last time I did, you almost set fire to one of Endymion's bodyguards. [IDK. Maybe he looked like Lucifer if Lucifer had luscious hair.]

[Why would she do something like that? Her brow furrows slightly, as she tries to think -- and then, suddenly, something far more alarming occurs to her, and Rei looks at him sharply.]

How do you know that name?

[Well, if he weren't Animus-cursed, he'd say DUH, ANGEL, but he is and DUH, ANGEL does not answer every question, much like that one girl cannot hug every cat. However, Rei does get a DUH, BIG RED TRUCK expression.]

I'd have to step back and examine my life if I couldn't remember who our king is.

[ ... okay. She has officially launched off the boat into crazyland.]

I -- what? He's not your king, he's my king, you aren't even -- you're not even a part of your Heaven, Gabriel, stop messing around.

[She's hissing underneath her breath, now.]

Bring me back to Tokyo, right now, or I'm going to make your life difficult.

My life's pretty difficult as it is. You're not really gonna do anything you haven't done before. [And he has lists. Long lists.] I mean, you've already put me in a ring of fire, claiming it was to test something.

Because you're an angel, idiot!

[With a vicious snap, and she takes a step forward.]

I did that because I needed to test holy fire to use against Lucifer. Remember? You yelled at me for it.

I yelled at you, because no one like being set on fire. There is no Lucifer. This place you keep talking about? It doesn't exist. And I know I've got angelic qualities, but I'm far from an angel.

It is real.

[Forcefully.]

Every person and place and insect in that city is real, and when I wake up, I'm going to be in my room, in the Temple, and you're still going to be useless, and life will be back to normal.

Are you really under that much stress here? That you have to just make up something new? We can help you.

This is a time of peace, Gabriel, it's not as if I have much to do except wait for the inevitable of --

[But Rei shuts her mouth abruptly, her teeth grinding together. If this is a hallucination, which it was, then letting these people know that this world is doomed for destruction is only going to cause the hallucination to become difficult.

She turns away in irritation, to try and think. She has a headache. And it won't stop.

-- and then something occurs to her.]

I'm your superior, aren't I?

[And Rei turns abruptly, narrowing her eyes.]

I order you to open that door.

It's probably safe now, Hino-san.

Probably, but -- it's hard to shake off the feeling.

I suppose it's difficult.

Were you affected?

Not this time.

Lucky.
