[...oh. That's it? Between everything involving machinery going haywire here and the chaos in her own world, Kara half-expected Rei to turn into something that would attempt to murder her -- but instead finds a girl who could be her sister, in terms of age.

In terms of looks, they probably can't be more different; Rei, with her long, black hair and dark eyes, and despite the robe, appears to be slender, contrasts with Kara, with her short blonde hair, hazel eyes, and muscular undertones, decked out in her finest pajama wear. (She thinks idly of how useful the power to change clothes would be.)

Kara smiles, genuinely glad Rei trusted her enough to meet her like this.]

It's nice to meet you for the first time in this case, Rei. No, Mars isn't a planet where I'm from... it's a name we use for one of the Lords of Kobol -- the gods some people believe in.

Some call him Ares, but he's also...

[But then she trails off, feeling a little dizzy from all this information hitting and crossing paths all at once. She actually feels angry at herself for not catching it sooner, as much as she knows about the Lords even if Ares has never been one of her focuses -- but her mind had been preoccupied at the time. So this girl -- young woman -- Rei or Mars, is the Goddess of Flame and War as she'd said, and given the cyclical nature of all things including the gods...

What the frak. But Kara believes her. After what she's seen and what her own faith dictates, how can she not?]

I guess the scrolls are true. Our Mars is strong, ruthless. We even have a holiday called Mars Day...
