[Rei appears on the video feed again, huzzah! She is back from her mission, and though there are some bruises, they're not on her face. For once.

She looks cheerful as well, moving some bags around, listening to the wind howl.] I hope everyone's safely indoors for this... I won't be very happy if I hear someone's been out in it. [LOOKING AT YOU

[Okay, so she doesn't know Justin that well, but have a young girl with dirty blonde pigtails staring at you blankly.]

Justin? As in....Justin LAW?

[Blink]

Hm? Oh, yes, that's him. Do you know him?

[Video]

[grigoriwings]

[Blinking right back. This girl must be crazy.]

Yeah, he's a Deathscythe for Shibusen. I've been going to school there for a long time.

[A beat.]

You're going on a date with him?

N-no! It's not a date.

[pause] ...It's not. He's my... Well, I suppose you can say I'm his apprentice.

He just wanted to make sure I ate properly.

[Maka just raises her brows as she regards the other girl.]

Riiiiight...still sounds like a date to me. Which is weird, since Justin doesn't really date. Well, he would probably date his music if he could, but, you know.

[He can't.]

[Video]

[cursed_tattoo]

I don't think he'd be interested... I don't think he even knows what a date is.

...Besides, I'm too old for him.

[Video]

[grigoriwings]

[But NOWHERE in there does she say that SHE'S not interested. Maka is nothing if not observant.]

I'm pretty sure you're right. Chances are, if you can get him to take those earphones and actually listen to you, then you're on the right track at least.

[This whole conversation is still blowing her mind, by the way. Justin is just...weird. Powerful, but weird.]

[Video]

[cursed_tattoo]

He gave me his earphones. Or at least, one pair of them.

[She says it only because she's wondering if that means something. Maka's lived here her whole life, hasn't she? Even if she wasn't close to Justin, she probably still knew more about him than what Rei thought she knew.

Yeah don't worry, Maka, Rei's mind is blown a little here too.]

[Video]

[grigoriwings]

Seriously? I don't think I've ever seen him take them out, even for the Shinigami.

[Yup, mind totally blown. Anyway...]

I'm Maka Albarn, by the way. I don't think we've actually met. Congrats on your mission.

[cursed_tattoo]

[That surprises her a little] R-...Really...?

Ah. I'm Rei Kurosawa. Pleased to meet you, Maka. This is your world, isn't it? You've lived here your entire life?

[Video]

[grigoriwings]

[She nods.] He saved Crona and I from Giriko once, quite awhile ago. He didn't take them out the entire fight. He doesn't usually have to; he's really good at reading lips. [She shrugs her shoulders.]

It's nice too meet you too, Rei. [Another nod.] Yeah, I have. My mother was Deathscythe's former Meister.

[Video]

[cursed_tattoo]

Giriko...I've heard him mentioned before... [But she nods] I figured he could read lips... It explains some things.

...Spirit? [She looks a little surprised] You don't look like him; I never would've known. [Pause] No offense.

[Video]

[grigoriwings]

He's the only other Weapon that I know of that can fight like Justin does - without a Meister. They have a sort of rivalry going, I think. [Though it might be one-sided. Again, Justin is weird.]

None taken. [She says that quickly.] I take after Mama a lot more. [Obviously. Who would want to be like Spirit?]

[Video]

[cursed_tattoo]

Yes, I heard him talk about that--the no meister thing. He's thinking it's possible we'd be able to resonate--though not in the normal way. I don't have all the details, and I can't say I really understand it yet, but...I could feel his soul wavelength. It's overwhelming.

[She looks a little amused at that] Spirit's a good man, I think. Then, I don't talk to him much.

...Can I ask you a few questions?
