[For a moment, all you can see is the rainbow fuzzy face of a lamb -- until Rei pushes it out of the way with a scowl. She looks harried, tired, and is holding half of what appears to be a set of bed sheets. The other half seems to have been eaten.]

Is this week over yet? Because I really want it to be over. And if one more sheep tries to eat my sheets drying outside, we're having mutton tonight.

[She pauses, though, and looks -- slightly more serious.]

And -- I know this is Shura's thing, but anyone who went to the Inner City -- do you mind telling me what everyone found? Is everyone okay? Any new information? I know all of us who went in first would appreciate getting all of the facts to see if any headway was made -- or if the scientists were found. So... let Toushirou or I know so we can cross-check our facts.

And I'll definitely give anything I found over, too -- fair's fair.

[And then the public feed cuts off.]

[Rei is in the kitchen, which isn't strictly unusual, as Usagi tops her into cooking her favorite things eats a lot of food and, therefore, someone must cook it... but what Rei is doing in the kitchen is something of a sight.

Her hands are covered in a thick, dark, sticky liquid and she looks like she's inches away from throwing the pot in front of her on the floor in a fit of frustration. The counter-top is covered with various cookbooks, what remains of their sugar stores, a heap of dark powder, and a thermometer.

There is a gooey pile to her right of 'failed attempts' at whatever the hell she's attempting to do.

She is stirring the pot almost viciously -- until something within the pot causes Hino Rei's patience to snap.]

Ugh, this is the dumbest tradition ever! Who thought this was a good idea!?

[The PCD shuts off before Rei has a chance to throw something at it.]
