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...]

Just give it a little time. A lot can happen in a couple short weeks, and things might be clearer then.

[She can't imagine what it'd be like living with Jude. On the one hand, she'd probably he happy, but on the other, she wonders if the distance from him has actually helped over the past year or so.

...Leia scratches at the back of her neck sheepishly, looking indecisive as she sways.]


He's... my best friend. [She quickly realizes that she already said that, but how else do you describe it?] He's kind, and caring, and he always thinks about others... but we are what we are.

He found someone else who's beautiful and just as selfless as he is. That's all.
journaler: (✿ i had this dream about you)

[... Haha. It's only now that she realizes, she's never really talked about her feelings that openly before. No one had asked, and until now, she never saw any reason to say anything.

Maybe she made a mistake. She still doesn't see why she should've burdened Rei with all that, when she's obviously got her own feelings to worry about, but she can't take back her words now.

Darn. She's still weak after all this time, huh?]


Thanks. I can't believe I said all that. Now I'm totally embarrassed. [She laughs it off, wiping at her eyes. Jokingly:] Why didn't you stop me?
journaler: (✿ :D)

[She doesn't want Rei to be sad. She smiles back, accepting her words... since rejection is a normal part of life. She knew that, going into journalism.]

I want to know more about you, too. We should do something fun together sometime.

Like... I don't know. Whatever you want!

I love ViViD! I work at the Game Center, so you'll find me there a lot, anyway. It'll be perfect.

Sure thing! I'll text you.

What kind of missions do you like, by the way? [Since it sounds like she's had some experience with them.]
journaler: (✿ wink)

[personal profile] journaler 2015-07-23 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
[She laughs. It's too bad, since Leia likes the ones where you have enemies to beat up on.]

I'll keep that in mind.

And... I'll catch you later?
