[video] 💎 un: red gem 💎 come find me

[The video opens to Rin sitting in a local cafe and the pink wall behind her is the only clue, that anyone will get about which one of them it is. There's a cheerful smile on her face.]

Hey, let's play a little game. Or call this an easy challenge if you want to...

Anyone, who'll find this place and arrive here in the next 15 minutes will get my treat of anything from this cafe's really wide selection of anything to eat and drink. Don't be late!

[Maybe she won't, in fact, care so much about whether or not anyone arrives later too. What's this? Well, she missed speed event by being on the staff only for both sides of it, so maybe she's doing her own thing with that?

But actually today is Sakura's birthday, so she's doing something for that. Not that Rin will tell that to anyone -- most people don't even know, that she ever had a little sister. Or well she still has a little sister, but it's complicated and she's going to avoid talking about her at all. Also, yes, yes she is one of those people, who bottle up all of their pain and sadness and never lets most people see those feelings / that side of her. So she's just putting up that smile instead, and really, no one can tell that she's hiding anything.]

[Ren doesn't even message her and just arrives at the cafe. It's one of the cafes he regulates, after all, so it's easy to find.]

It's been a while, Rin.

[Don't mind the eyepatch.]

[She wonders if he even saw that network post. Maybe he's here because he is a regular here and Rin knows that. She really hasn't seen him or talked with him since Speed Dating/Friendshipping, huh? ...Or no, Rin saw him in the battlefield but... She sure missed the update to his looks. And no, Ren, judging by the look on her face and everything else, she's not going to ignore it!]

What the hell, Ren? [Hello to you too, isn't always so nice to see Rin?!] When did y-- Did you get that during the fight against those Knights and wraiths?

[Of course she'd comment on it - Ren expected that. He could say it's just a fashion statement, but he's always truthful with Rin. He respects and trusts her very much.]

Yeah. One of the wraiths got to me when I was blinded with rage after one of the Knights touched me. I haven't been able to heal it since magic has been weird.

[She would have never believed it to be a fashion statement without seeing under it if he had said that.. ...Must have been just a coincidence, that he got that while he was blinded by rage because those Knights and others lost their (dark) sense of humour forever ago.

Oh. His magic is acting up too. Huh.]

At least it didn't do anything worse... [Sympathy from the Devil, you're welcome. What's even being good at that? But look, she's glad to see he's ~~physically~~ well otherwise.] And you're not asking around for a healer, who possibly doesn't have problems with their magic because you want to heal it yourself whenever that's possible again, right?

[ . . . if . . . there even are any, whose magic hasn't been acting weird or causing any mishaps lately.]

The ritual Morganna made us do made a lot of us tired... Since it's not as bad as it looks, I would rather wait until things return to a more normal state.

[Besides, he didn't look so bad with an eyepatch.]

I'm glad to see you're okay though.

Free food!

[ Is what he says as he opens the doors to the cafe. :') Feed him. ]

[Well, he definitely saw the post! Rin smiles at Taichi from a table near the door though she's about to get up from there.]

Yes! Pick whatever you want.

Do they have those croissants with the hot dog inside? I always wanted to try those!

[ He's referring to one of these bad boys. ]

[ You know what, this sounds like a good idea, and she needs- and wants -to try to start reaching out to make some friends her own age. Hanabi and Sasuke are great but years from her past, and she's starting to miss Ino, Hinata, and Tenten.

So yeah, this seems like a good detour on her way home from training.

Sakura smiles as she lets herself into the cafe and immediately spots Rin. ]

Hey, looks like you've already gotten a few takers. Is one more alright?

[ Especially if she's a new face. ]

[Well. There's a sight, that Rin doesn't see here everyday and she means the pink hair, that immediately reminds her of another Sakura.

But hah, if she'll run out of money for this (she most likely won't, she's a hardworking young woman), then she'll ~~ask~~ use Archer's money for this.

Rin smiles back at her.]

Hello! There's always room for more, so welcome and have a seat!

[Honestly, she's offering free food, she thought there'd be even more people... Too bad, she's not the type to offer a restaurant dinner but maybe she'll try an all you can eat buffet next time?? ~~No, watch me make that post with Usagi later~~ Either way, baby steps with Rin with cafe time first and then maybe something else another time. ]

Thanks.

[ Sakura smiles, taking the offered seat after taking off her coat to set on the back of her chair and workout bag on the ground for now. She looks dressed for a casual day out, as it was her day off. ]

I'm Sakura Haruno. We haven't met before today, right? It's nice to meet you, miss...?

(Upon seeing the video on the network, Harry decides to take the offer, considering that he just had the day off from work. He doesn’t waste time locating the cafe Rin is at, considering that it is just a few minutes’ walk from his current place.

Now he was thinking about teleporting to the cafe initially, but considering how unusually sluggish he has been for days since the ritual, the young man doesn’t want to risk it and he just simply walks in. Even then, it doesn’t look like he is looking this tired.)

Hi, is there a seat for me to sit on?

[If Rin is tired, she's not letting it show at all. Then again, she's used to hiding a lot of things including that even back home, so that's just normal to her.

She smiles at him.]

Hello! Of course, there's still plenty of room, so sit wherever you'd like.

[And when she says wherever, she really means it. Including seats in tables on the other side of the whole place, or next table from Rin, or even at the same table as Rin -- she's not limiting anyone's options here or even expecting the place to be full anytime soon.]

Oh nice, there is a lot of seats to choose from.

(He settles for the seat next to the table where Rin is at. as he places his rucksack down on the floor right beside the seat itself. Putting a brave face while fighting off the tiredness is not an easy task, but he’s been coping for a few days so far and is feeling slightly before than in the first days.)

[ How does Stella find Rin so fast? Coincidence? Familiarity with some of the cafes around Avalon? Uncanny ability to hone in on literally anything pink in her vicinity? Who knows! Whatever the case, she makes it to the cafe with almost ten minutes to spare and though she's visibly out of breath, once she spots Rin she looks utterly triumphant. ]

Heck yeah! I made it! [ ... and then she proceeds to all but collapse into the chair opposite her. ] Now I've just gotta catch my breath...

[So fast! Rin's not really expecting anyone that fast but she can certainly appreciate her speed of getting here either way. Also hahah, she sure keeps running into pink haired people today of all days considering how cherry blossom time is always pink, so the hair color makes her think of a certain someone. Just a coincidence? Nah, more like Rin's typical luck.]

Actually, you're ten minutes late. [Sorry, she's a teaser and she can't help it but since it's obvious that this pink haired girl isn't late-- Rin smiles at her.] Just kidding! Do you want to start with something to drink, while you're catching it?

[No rush with that, it's not like Rin's leaving here anytime soon.]

[ She doesn't quite have the air in her lungs to properly protest the teasing, but she manages a heartfelt guhhhh all the same. She sounds like she's deflating. ]

Yeah. [ It comes out almost sounding like another guh. ] I'll take anything cold, so long as it's sweet.

[ She's really not that picky when it comes to free food. ]

[He happened to be in the neighbourhood and well, he might as well do a little catching up with Rin while getting free food.

At least his only change right now is a fluffy bunny tail, which can't really be seen much. Thank the moob rabbit kits for this inspiration.]

Still handing out free food?

[Ohai, there's the dog guy from the network, also known as Jean because it's not like they've never met before.

Though he is here without those dog ears, hmmm. Well, at least Rin knows that her magic is still acting up...]

Yes. So what happened to your dog ears?

Oh, I chased some moon rabbits and they changed to something else.

[A few times, actually, before settling for what he had now.]

I rely on magic too much these days, so even if I know it's weird I tend to use it.

[Oh, yeah, those moon rabbit kits! She looks at his head, his face, legs...]

Well, I don't see rabbit ears or hoppy bunny legs, so what? You got a fluffy bun tail instead?

[Or are the other options too?? But Rin looks like she sure enjoys teasing him about it but she always enjoys teasing, so...]

[ . . . but then she sighs, when he talks about magic being weird.]

So animal magic isn't so bad even now. [That's so unfaaaaaaaaaair!!] Try having kinetic and elemental and being used to having your magic ever since you were a little kid...

[So, in other words, she's chaotic with magic this month.]

[Jean blushes even if he tries not to, his feelings too honest once again. Even his bunny tail twitches a little.]

So what if I have one? It's not like you'll see it.

[Not without him actually turning his back to her.]

So ... how many things have you accidentally sent to next town over?
