81 [Accidental Video]

[flameandpassion]

[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.]

Comments

THE MOST PROFESSIONAL. NO ONE WOULD EVER SUSPECT TO LOOK FOR CRACK IN THIS EVENT.

[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.]

WE ARE THAT LEGIT.

[flameandpassion]

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.

[painhumbles.livejournal.com]

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.]

[flameandpassion]

[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?

[painhumbles.livejournal.com]

[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.

[flameandpassion]

[ ... 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.

[checkoutpandora.livejournal.com]

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.

[flameandpassion]

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.

[checkoutpandora.livejournal.com]

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.

[flameandpassion]

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.

[painhumbles.livejournal.com]

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

[flameandpassion]

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.
