Rei, let me go! Chomei's going in there, and his demon is an uncle... I mean his uncle's a demon... I don't know what I mean but it's not good! [You're in the crowd! They're leaving you behind!] * Rei lets go and looks at Chie. "I was gonna ask what was wrong, but I guess that's the answer, right? So what?" Well, what's that make him? * Rei wrinkles her nose. "Who cares?" Well, I... * Chie takes a deep breath. Why am I freaking out over this? Come on, they're leaving us behind. We can talk while we catch up. Come on, come on. Okay, okay! Let's go! ( Chie's hair color right now must be green :P ) * Rei leads Chie towards the castle. "I dunno why you're freaking out over this. You're the one freaking out!" (It should be. Maybe she'll dye it later. ;p) ( Chie is freaking out. Rei is just a freak. ) I guess it's because hell equals not good in my book. [Rei has a tail cramp] And Victoria just... frustrates me something terrible! What, it's just a place people go when they die. I guess it's not as good as Earth, but I don't think it's all completely evil... well, not all of them- ow! * Rei winces and stops, grabbing at her tail. You okay? Just... cramp. Ow. Sorry. * Rei tries to straighten her tail. "Whyzzat?" she asks weakly. Because she never gives straight answers. And she can't keep her hands off you and Chomei. Well, yeah. Chomei 'cause she's related to him. * Rei tries to work the kinks out of her tail. "Me 'cause... I dunno. 'Cause I don't hate her?" Well, I know that now. And I still want to know how. And she didn't try to shoot *you*. How I don't hate her? No, how she's related to Chomei. Oh. They're probably cousins. Maybe a couple times removed. I hope so. Well, now I can hate his cousins in addition to mine. Yay. Let's go. * Rei smiles, also weakly. "Family's family, right?" She lets go of her tail and straightens. "Come on, Chie." Y'can't turn your back on family. But family doesn't completely make ya who you are. If you decide you don't care, it doesn't matter, does it? You can't? * Rei looks away. "Okay. I can't." Oh, Rei, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it like that. * Rei takes a deep breath. "I don't think Victoria can, either, even if he didn't know she was family. Maybe she was trying to help, kind of. Maybe she wanted to get to know him. I dunno." I'm not good at people stuff. But it doesn't matter... where Chomei came from, or why, or how, or what he is. 'Cause deep down inside, he's just as lame as ever. * Chie laughs. "Poor Chomei." * Chie gives Rei a quick hug. "And thanks." * Rei beams! and hugs back. "You're welcome." Okay! We're missing the good stuff. * Rei heads for the castle! Yay! Yeah. Nobody's gonna give me answers if I don't listen first. * Chie walks alongside Rei. Woo!
