83 [Video]

[flameandpassion]

Hey, Adstringendum. I've got a question.

[Rei is sitting in a chair, in Castiel's impromptu study, with a worn book in her hands. An anthology of ghost stories. And, because of simple curiosity:]

Do you believe in ghosts?

[Scientists? What scientists? Fran is going to handle that part.]

How are you doing?

[Video//Private//Unhackable]

[flameandpassion]

Fine, more or less.

John and Cas were furious with me when I got back. Big surprise.

[Raven snorts softly.] Join the club.

[Video//Private//Unhackable]

[flameandpassion]

Yeah, and happy New Year.

[SIGH.]

Has Fran compiled all of the information yet?

[Video//Private//Unhackable]

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

He. Stop stealing my sarcasm.

Next time we should share the... 'feedback'. I'll let you deal with John.

I don't know. Next time I asked, he wasn't done.

[Video//Private//Unhackable]

[flameandpassion]

John's been dealt with.

[Rei sounds a little odd about that -- almost pleased? -- before she shrugs a shoulder.]

And alright. I'll have him forward it to me so I can share it on my end.

[Raven quirks a quizzical eyebrow at that.] What do you mean?

Think you could have him forward it to the rest of us who went down there?

[fjkhgf]

Nothing all that important.

And sure, that's fine. I'll talk to Toushirou, too.

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

[A frown.] If you say so.

Thanks.

[Video//Private//Unhackable]

[flameandpassion]

[dfkhgdf it's embarrassing, okay.]

It's nothing bad, he's just not mad at me anymore.

[And Rei waves a hand.]

No problem.

[Video//Private//Unhackable]

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

I didn't think it was anything bad. [Don't worry, Rei. She won't pry.] ...That's good. [And she didn't think he'd stay mad at Rei either.]

Maybe we should meet. All of us. In order to agree on whatever information should be left undisclosed.

[Video//Private//Unhackable]

[flameandpassion]

I've lied enough to the people I care about. I won't hide anything from the people who ask me what I saw.

[Quietly.]

But we should meet.

[Video//Private//Unhackable]

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

You misunderstood me. I never suggested lying to people.

That said I wouldn't want to have people panicking, or putting anyone through danger because of the use some people might make of this information.

Should I set up that meeting, then?

[Video//Private//Unhackable]

[flameandpassion]

Hiding what we saw is the same thing.

[But Rei purses her lips.]

I'll be there.

[Video//Private//Unhackable]

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

I know what you mean... [She sighs. She just wishes Robin would be here and tell her what to do.] We'll try to act for the best. I'll go with whatever the majority will agree upon. [You heard that well. For once she'll follow the majority.]

[flameandpassion]

[ ... hn.]

The only thing we can do is talk it out, I guess.

[Video//Private//Unhackable]

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

Hmm.

What was it with your question about ghosts, anyway?

[Video//Private//Unhackable]

[flameandpassion]

Curiosity.

[Video//Private//Unhackable]

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

Because of that book you read?

[Video//Private//Unhackable]

[flameandpassion]

Yeah. A lot of people don't believe in the afterlife.

[Rei shrugs a shoulder.]

I got bored and wanted to know, that's all.
