[Rei is sitting at a table, carefully writing out talismans on thin white strips of paper. Where she got the ink and brush is anyone's guess, but the work appears all-encompassing and extraordinarily important to her. After three or four minutes of concentration, the priestess glances at the video and smiles -- it appears clear that she has turned it on on purpose.]

I guess everyone is back to normal after last week and all of the animal friends have gone back to wherever they belong. The spirits here aren't exactly the nicest group around.

[Here, she pauses, as if reminded of something, and her expression grows more serious.]

Does anyone know if there's a temple in Adstringendum? A Shinto temple. If there is, can you tell me where it is?

Damned if I know.

[flameandpassion]

Great.

What's your name? I don't think I've talked to you since being dropped here.

[not-a-damn-dog.livejournal.com]

Akira. Werewolf.

[flameandpassion]

[She raises her eyebrows, not looking remotely impressed.]

Akira who is a werewolf or Akira Werewolf?

[not-a-damn-dog.livejournal.com]

Number 1.

[flameandpassion]

Right.

Do you usually introduce yourself as a werewolf?

[not-a-damn-dog.livejournal.com]

Makes it less shocking when I change. We've got two lunar cycles, better to get it out of the way early.

I don't believe I've seen anything I recognize as Shinto, but then I'm not too familiar with that religion.

I figured it'd be a 'no', but I thought I'd ask. I'm a prietess. It'd be nice to have a piece of home, you know?

[She smiles at the newcomer, though.]

But I don't think I've met you before? I'm Rei.

[Video]

[haori]

I am sorry. I know how it is to miss the comforts of home.

Ah, it's a pleasure, Rei-san. I am Ukitake Jyuushirou.

[Video]

[flameandpassion]

Nice to meet you, sir.

[She's uncertain of what to call the older man, so settles for being polite.]

Don't be sorry! It's not your fault. You helped in answering my question.

[Video]

[haori]

You may just call me Ukitake, or even Uki. I'm not sure how that one happened.

I am glad for that, at least.

[flameandpassion]

[She grins.]

It's a nice nickname. Ukitake, then.

[bunny_flower]

We do have a temple, but I do not think it is shinto.

You know the art of fuda, I see, Hino-san.

[flameandpassion]

Really? Can you send me the coordinates? I can check it out, anyway.

[Rei instantly brightens at the mention of her practice.]

I do! You know what it is, Miss Unohana?

[bunny_flower]

[x;y]

I do, although I do not possess the gift of it myself.

((OOC : it's the Temple of Clouds, and you can find it on the adstri map))

[flameandpassion]

Well, I'm glad I'm not the only one in this place who knows what it is! I was afraid people were going to think I was crazy if I ever had to use it.

[Though, Sirius already did see her use it, even if it did fail... but whatever, besides the point.]

And thanks for the coordinates, Miss Unohana.

ooc: Gotcha!

[bunny_flower]

You're quite welcome, Hino-san.

[flameandpassion]

Do you go there often? The temple.

[fightingvirtue.livejournal.com]

There is the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvest - I'm not certain that that's what you are looking for, although it is a very beautiful and peaceful place. [x, y], I go there often.

[flameandpassion]

-- oh, thank you! I'll go check it out later today... I guess I just miss home a little, that's all.

I don't think I've met you before? I'm Rei.

[fightingvirtue.livejournal.com]

I think all of us do, one way or another.

No - we haven't, have we? I try to greet all of those who arrive, but I've been away lately... well, it's a pleasure, Ms. Rei. I'm Ryuubi Gentoku.

[flameandpassion]

Oh, it's fine! It's nice to meet you -- is Ryuubi okay?

[fightingvirtue.livejournal.com]

Absolutely. Or Gen, if you want.

[flameandpassion]

Gen it is.
