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.]

Comments

[flameandpassion]

I have, yeah, but none today.

[She's serious. D8]

But I was reading a book of ghost stories for kids.

[greatcuppajoe.livejournal.com]

Wouldn't say I believe in the kinda ghosts ya find in those stories. But ghosts? Sure.

[Players, in any case; they're close enough. But he's interested in that throwaway comment about having seen them...]

Where'd ya end up seein' ghosts, sister?

[flameandpassion]

I can talk to spirits.

[As if she's talking about the weather.]

They're everywhere if you look hard enough.

[greatcuppajoe.livejournal.com]

Haven't spotted too many here, but maybe that's my eyes more'n the place itself.

[He smirks.] Interestin' talent you've got there, though. What's your name?

[flameandpassion]

Hino Rei.

You're one of Cas' friends.

[Rei keeps a freakish eye on her angel friend. Don't mind her. But she looks curious.]

[greatcuppajoe.livejournal.com]

Sure, I've talked ta him a time or two. You know him too, huh, Rei?

-- Sanae Hanekoma, by the way. Pleasure.

[flameandpassion]

He lives with me.

[A bit warmly.]

It's nice to meet you, Hanekoma.

[greatcuppajoe.livejournal.com]

Roommate? Gotcha. The two of ya from the same world?

[flameandpassion]

No. We met here.

[greatcuppajoe.livejournal.com]

Always good ta meet new friends!

[flameandpassion]

It is.

You have others from your world here?

[greatcuppajoe.livejournal.com]

I do - quite a few of 'em, ta tell the truth. What about you, Rei?

[flameandpassion]

A lot of the senshi are here now, yeah. The Temple actually feels full for once.

[greatcuppajoe.livejournal.com]

That's a pretty big buildin', if I'm rememberin' it right. It must be a lot.

[Pausing thoughtfully.] Warriors, huh?

[flameandpassion]

[Rei pauses.]

Yeah -- a type of warrior.

[greatcuppajoe.livejournal.com]

Mind if I ask what kinda world you're from? Sounds violent ta me.

[flameandpassion]

I'm a soldier to keep the balance of the universe.

It's only violent when the balance is out of place.

[Quite simply, for a sixteen year old.]

[greatcuppajoe.livejournal.com]

Interestin' gig. How'd ya get that one?
