(Open) Come on, choose one. You mustn't be afraid.

Who: Rei Hino [personal profile] faithfulflame & You! This is open!
When: 2/1-2/6 (7/10-7/18)
Where: All over Cerealia. Entertainment District, Shopping District, Residential District, Research District
What: Rei goes out to check on some people, take care of some business/be social, and spend time with various people.
Rating/Warning: None save maybe language? Will update as needed.




I. Residential District:

[Today there's a young woman walking rather briskly through the winding streets of the residential areas. She's got something on her mind, a focus and more than a few worries weighing on her of late. There are questions she has, and people she needs to talk to. If it happens that she brushes past you on the street, there may even be a palpable sense of heat following her despite the chill. Her control is slipping, and she needs to get answers and information.

She's heading for specific apartments, preceded by a simple text message request to speak. Athena Cykes, Nonon Jakuzure, Simon Blackquill and England can all expect to hear from Rei at some point, but there are other people she's checking up on. CR can assume they're on this list, I cannot list all of you!



II. CERES Gym:

[Rei's kendo training is coming along well, and she's showing up at the gym even when she doesn't have classes with Sousei to practice both that and her archery, sometimes late into the evening. Her hands are steady as she holds the shinai, and her eyes are focused on each target she looses an arrow at. To an experienced observer she's much more comfortable with the bow, but she's seemingly taking to the bamboo sword rather quickly. Sweat and hard work may not be particularly dignified, but given how insane everything's been lately? She's willing to just give up on that for now.

Hard at work, she may not notice observers until she pauses, or practically sinks down next to a water cooler. Grab her however!]



III. Research District:

[Realizing that her control is in fact slipping and has for a day or so, Rei makes her way to the hospital to get a quick checkup. It's not that she's worried she's overdoing it...but she is, and she's hardly foolish enough to let the signs of stress go unanswered.

After her checkup, she heads out of the medical facility wearing a very severe frown, looking around and hoping she's not going to run into anyone she knows. That's probably not the case, knowing her luck, but she can hope, right?]



IV. Shopping District/Auto Shop:

[This is a bit of a whim of hers, but one she's decided to indulge. It's not like she can't afford something nice, and after the scare with the buses and trains recently it has a bit more practical application. So, here she is, browsing the selection of motor-bikes available. She's actually considering it seriously, simply to have an alternate way to work.

Look out roads...]



V. Closed to Minako Aino:

[The Shopping District was something alright. The selection of things to eye-shop and possibly by rivaled and probably exceeded downtown Tokyo, but Rei'd never quite admit it. She'd also never admit to Minako that she was letting all this stress and worry get to her, but it seemed the blonde had picked up on that without prompting. At least, that was what the raven-haired priestess had assumed when she'd been told that they were going out that evening for shopping and dinner, so that Rei could 'Loosen up a bit!'

And with no choice in it and the matter settled, here they were, outside a large department store. Just before Valentine's Day...]

Do you really think they'd be lax enough to do everything the same? No, they'll cut corners where they can. It's better to pick what has the fewest flaws.

Heeey! [She responds with equal parts enthusiasm, and meets her part way by stepping in. She feels so out of place, but that's never stopped her before.]

I didn't know you were into bikes. Are you gonna get one?

Thank you...

[ she's still crying, but her smile is so genuine. ]

You're welcome. If there's nothing else, I suppose I'll leave you alone for now.

No, they aren't. Unfortunately it seems like I'm the only person from my world who got taken here. Oh, but if we're talking about people I've met on Cerealia, there's a couple who have some kind of fire powers. There's Ruca, I met him on the network asking about magic, and then there was this guy I spotted who set his own foot on fire after I was done sparring with Vegeta...

[ Nonon's pleasantly surprised it's good, plopping down on the couch next to a teddy bear and pulling the basket up besides her to take a cupcake out next. But she hasn't forgotten about Rei. ]

..I don't really drink. But I guess you're right, I am of age now I could if I wanted to...

[ She just doesn't know if she wants to. ]

So what did you want to ask me?

[personal profile] unluckless 2015-07-14 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
One of the problems, yes.

[In a really meta way, Rei's got the right idea. At least this place is mostly livable, right?]

But this place has new problems I suppose!

A little bit of luck in an unlucky situation, I guess? Make sure you keep your friends close, Cerealia can be a dangerous place for a couple of girls without powers.

[ What with the fortnightly happenings that invariably meant Nanoha had to fire a Buster at something. ]

Yeah, I lost completely! That kind of speed and power is totally unfair! At least I got a couple of good shots in, and it's good to know there's another fighter on this colony who can fly. Most of the challengers were land-bound, which can be a big disadvantage in a real fight.

[Another someone got stuck walking the rest of the way to the Entertainment District--and then had to spend the night there, with ghosts, so she feels this.]

Hopefully that doesn't become a regular thing. It makes sense though, to be prepared.

If only they weren't so expensive...
unluckless: (0950)

[personal profile] unluckless 2015-07-14 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
The glitches. They're really annoying, to say the least.

[And occasionally ridiculously dangerous. Komaeda is really done with them. Though hang on now.]

I don't think anyone could blame you for being tired of that. Or any of it. Aaah it's frustrating that so much goes wrong in such an advanced-looking place. It makes it seem definitely deliberate.

[Look, Leia has to start thinking about rent and also did not take a high-paying job, SO...!! It's expensive. As much as the urge strikes her though, she really can't see herself riding it full time, or maintaining it...

Which also costs money.]


Why not ask? I'm sure someone can make you some recommendations. [Someone who's not a robot, preferably... Leia looks around at the staff.]
