70 [Accidental Video]

[The PCD turns on to show an empty hallway of the Temple to Heaven, quiet and calm and free of disturbance. It’s swinging lightly, back and forth -- Rei is holding it as she walks down the halls, quiet and peaceful -- but she pauses, at a slightly open door, and her expression is curious as she pokes the door open with a slight nudge of her foot.

And then, the PCD falls to the floor, to show the inside of the room, which is covered in what appears to be bloody symbols along the walls.]


What are you doing -- ?!


[Castiel is inside the room, focused on the task at hand, fingerpainting across the walls in what is indeed blood. He's cut open a wide gash on his arm to do so, but it doesn't seem to be bothering him.]

Warding. They need to be redone every so often; these in particular are over a month old and will lose effectiveness due to simple wear.


What did you do to your arm?

[The PCD is kicked a little into the room as Rei enters the room, but she pauses before she looks at Castiel’s injury to look around the room at the freshly warded room, mouth slightly open in shock at all of the handiwork --

-- before she snaps her attention back to his arm.]


-- Cas, you can’t just draw on the walls in blood, are you insane, use ink!

[He glances around the room as she does, before looking back at her and giving her an incredulous expression]

We don’t have that much ink, and you need it for talismans. And, regardless, it is more effective if done in blood.

We can make more ink and you can’t replenish your blood that quickly anymore, idiot --

[And Rei grabs at his wrist to pull his arm towards her, to see how deep the cut actually is.]

You’re dripping blood all over the floor.

[He lets her pull him toward her without protest, other than a sigh. He’s a little irritated at her overprotectiveness, as he doesn’t need it. He might be mortal now, but he could still ward a room.]

I’m fine. And blood is imprecise; it is going to get on the floor.

I know it’s going to get on the floor.

[It’s said snappishly -- because, hello, Rei is not stupid, thank you very much. But after she examines it to ensure that Castiel didn’t cut himself all that deeply -- … no, she still doesn’t look all that satisfied.]

Is all of this in your blood? Seriously? Did they not give you paint in Heaven or what?


[He is actually being careful for the most part, and hasn’t overdone it yet, despite the multitude of sigils across the the walls. At her questions, he looks at her once more, and gives a completely deadpan response.]

Most of it is mine. The rest belonged to the cat.

[Who said he couldn’t use sarcasm?]

[There is a long moment of staring before Rei’s hand shoots out to smack Castiel soundly upside the head. The sound is delightfully loud -- pity him, Adstringendum.]

That’s not funny! Don’t use my cat for some weird angel --

[But you don’t get to hear the rest of the argument. Rei has stepped on the PCD in her fight to teach Castiel a lesson, which severs the feed.]

[Rei is sitting in her fire-reading room within the Temple of Heaven. The embers are bright and her hair is tied back with a ribbon -- she's either just beginning a reading or has just completed one. She doesn't look too bothered, though -- in fact, she looks pretty light-hearted.]

I'm out of ink -- does anyone have any to spare? Or anything to make it from? I can trade for it, if anyone needs anything.

Oh, and I'm gearing up for some target practice soon, if anyone wants to go to the Wastelands with me. Girls. Toushirou. Ulquiorra. -- or anyone else who wants to get shown up.

I hope everyone is enjoying the Animus' little joke.

[Rei, herself, is stuck wearing this, and while she looks lovely, she doesn't appear to be enjoying it very much. The girl is used to loose miko robes.]

[Filtered to List* // Private // Unhackable]

Hey, everyone. I have presents for all of you. I'm guessing everyone has plans on Christmas, so if you want them earlier, then I can come drop them off.




OOC: Rei has special gifts for those closest to her, which include the list above: Hitsugaya, Cloud, Alphonse, Negi, and all of the senshi. For those that are her friends as well, but not on this list, they will be receiving a variety of hand-painted charms to be used as ornaments So feel free to comment on this entry if you are or aren't sure or consider it handwaved. Oh, and Rei has something for Ciel Phantomhive as well. ... because he's in his own category of 'wut'.
flameandpassion: (Rei: Happy to see you!)

[Rei is setting up the PCD, but accidentally turns it on before she means to. There is ink on her fingers and her calligraphy set is on her table, a small sheath of white paper ready to be inked.

A slight frown appears as she notices the red light and she fidgets with the video feed for a minute until the filter is in place.]


[Filtered to List*]

There we go... stupid thing.

Sorry about that! Hey everyone! Ukitake already said something, but I thought I'd make an official invitation to anyone who thought they might want to go... Toushirou's birthday is coming up and seeing as an actual party would cause him to not come out of his house, I thought maybe we could all have dinner together at the Temple of Heaven instead. You can bring gifts for him if you want, or if you want to do that on your own time, that's good, too.

[And she pauses, wringing out her hands with a towel.]

Does anybody know what he wants for his birthday?

*List: Household, Hinamori, Orihime, Rukia, Ukitake, Unohana, Sasuke, and Al, for initial plans. As it's going to be held at the Temple, anyone Rei does not explicitly trust will have to be vouched for. orz

[Rei is sitting underneath a tree, carefully arranging slips of white paper into an envelope. Those that know her -- and know her practice -- may recognize them as the ofuda that Rei never leaves home without... which brings up the question as to why, exactly, she's got so many of them with her.

Her transformation wand is in her lap, but it looks slightly different and the look in Rei's eyes is all it takes to show that she's been affected. She looks tired and exhausted, but she picks up the PCD regardless, noticing that it's turned on. Instead of turning it back off, she forces a smile for the camera.]


Everyone stay safe.

[And it shuts off... or it does to most people.]

I need to talk to you about something, but only if you're up to it.

[Mars is standing in view of the PCD, one palm held in front of her, the other hand clenching two talismans. In front of the sailor senshi is a large gargoyle, animated for movement. It’s shoving itself closer to her, teeth gnashing together, claws flashing forward to slash her into ribbons , but Mars only exhales deeply. She doesn’t look bothered at all.]

Rin, Pyou, Tou, Sha, Kai, Jin, Retsu, Zai, Zen... Akuryou Taisan!

[She flings a talisman towards the gargoyle and it freezes in place, its movement abruptly stopped. It appears that whatever spell Merlin put on them has now left and the gargoyle is regular stone once more, but Mars doesn’t appear to be done with it just yet. She presses the final talisman to her lips, murmuring a charm against the thin white paper, before tossing it towards the gargoyle. She immediately brings her arms up, intertwining her fingers and pointing at the talisman, as if aiming a gun.]

Fire Soul Bird!

[A burst of flames engulfs the talisman, creating a massive phoenix that rockets towards the gargoyle. It slams into the stomach of the gargoyle, shattering it. Rock pieces fly in different directions and Mars throws up an arm over her eyes to shield herself from the debris.

The PCD turns off immediately after.]

[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?
