Entry tags:
(Open) Come on, choose one. You mustn't be afraid.
Who: Rei Hino 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...]

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.

And with no choice in it and the matter settled, here they were, outside a large department store. Just before Valentine's Day...]
no subject
[Rei turns, and stands there, arms akimbo and eyes locked onto Minako. She knows she looks sexy in this outfit, there's no doubt about it, but how will Minako react, hmmm?]
no subject
something stirs in her, but she's not sure what it is]
Wow! You look great, Rei-chan!
[not so loud, Minako. there are people out there]
no subject
Minako looks good. She looks really cute in that outfit. It's hard not to look her over, when she feels her heat pitter-pattering. It's never been more clear that she does actually find the blonde attractive than now, and this was just with the least revealing outfit she could find.]
You...do too.
[There's a kind of stunned quality to her voice, like she's having a hard time saying what she really wants to say, but she nods again.]
Amazing, really.
[Yeah, definitely thinks you're hot...]
no subject
she's not uncomfortable, at least. she knows that. but still, it's different to dress up like this and understand there is an attraction there. Minako's not sure if she finds girls attractive in that way, or not, but she can appreciate her friends' beauty]
Th-thanks. [she pushes some hair back behind her ear] Um... Guess we should try on more?
no subject
[The feelings she gets from Minako? Are pretty positive. Reassuring, in a way, and she's glad this isn't making the other uncomfortable. She huffs a breath and nods.]
Yes. That sounds good. Which one's next? Or should I pick?
no subject
wait. no. Minako. that is a terrible idea. maybe not yet]
no subject
And for me?
no subject
she plucks out a deep purple babydoll nightie that fans out just over the hips. it's very pretty, she thinks, and kind of sweet, even though it's supposed to be sexy]
This is the last one. [she grins, hoping to ease any lingering anxieties Rei might be feeling] Then we can go get some hot chocolate!
no subject
The grin is returned weakly, but returned all the same. She's incredibly grateful.]
I think...yes, I think I'd like that. It sounds nice.
no subject
but she doesn't want Rei to feel awkward. at first, it was fun to tease her, but in the end, Minako isn't going to push her friend into doing something she doesn't want to do]
Okay. [a sigh!] I'm ready.
no subject
I am too.
[There's an honest note of enjoyment in her voice this time. She's checked herself out in the mirror and this one is honestly a lot less sexy and more appropriate. she doesn't mind this one at all!]
no subject
she's certain she doesn't look sexy at all, so Minako forces herself to look up and rest her hands on her thighs. why is she so meek all of a sudden? this was her idea, wasn't it?]
no subject
You...you look beautiful, Minako.
[Her hand moves out to her dear friend's shoulder, squeezing it gently.]
I hope that this isn't bothering you, after...the other day. I'm...I mean, I think you look amazing, but the last thing I want you do think is that I'm...leering at you or anything.
no subject
N-no! I didn't think that at all! [and she's being honest. Minako knows that Rei isn't like that!] I just... it's a lot to take in, yanno? And I'm... confused, I guess.
no subject
[Rei smiles knowingly, and pulls Minako in close for a big hug.]
I understand. I'm...just as confused, I think. But for different reasons. What's important though, is that we're here to have fun right? And you look fantastic.
no subject
Right... Right! [after the hug, Minako pulls back and pumps her fist] The great Minako-sama does look fantastic! And so does Rei-chan!
no subject
Right.
[Rei flashes a half smile and pulls away, scratching her cheek a little as she blushes.]
Hot chocolate? Or...?
no subject
[Minako turns to exit the room...!
then pauses. looks down at her clothes]
Maybe we should change first. [MAYBE??? it's winter out there!]
no subject
[She's already stripping down to change...
Why does she love you again?]
no subject
Minako's changing too, now]
But this was a lot of fun. Thanks for coming out with me, Rei-chan. [and for catering to her whims]
no subject
no subject
I'm glad! That was the plan. Also, if you want to talk about any of those things bothering you, you know I'll listen, right?
no subject
[Rei leans in for another hug as they walk out.]
I'm going to be okay, so long as I have you at my side. I need the balance.
no subject
I'll always be right here! [unless she disappears... but we're not thinking about what bad things can happen in Cerealia. not now. now is hot chocolate time]
