Rei was making her way along the corridor in no particular hurry, never being one in particular to concern herself with social convention. Also she was approximately half awake. Combination of a poor night's sleep and being disturbed by the little devilspawn following her about-

THUD. 

Something, or rather someone, crahsed into her at some speed. Rei let out a cry of alarm that sounded, for a moment, oddly inhuman in its frequency, pupils contracting into tiny vertical lines as she sprang back, narrowly avoiding treading on Hel. Seeing the figure on the floor she loomed over him for a moment, her mouth opening to speak and displaying pointed canine teeth...had they been there earlier?


[color=a2d39c]"You wanna watch it? Don't know what the hell is such a big deal you've gotta be Speedy freakin' Gonzales round the corridors but it can't be that goddamn bad because nobody's screami-  ...why are you...are you sweating jello?"

Rei tilted her head as she abruptly shifted gear from anger to puzzlement. The guy appeared to be dripping slime. In a vague sense she guessed that such a thing might gross out the average person.

Of course when you'd once manually reformed your own arm from the bone outward you sort of gained a lot of perspective on what constituted gross. If anything she was a little bemused by it, and bemused a lot moreso by the dramatic apology of the individual. It was sufficient that she didn't really feel she could carry on chewing him out.

[color=a2d39c]"Turn it down a few notches dude. It's really too early for you to be so twitchy. I'm not going to do anything. Just don't do it again."[/color]

Hel peered round Rei, watching the young man appraisingly with large, red eyes. 
[color=f6989d]"He just got here." [/color]she stated, adopting her usual, slightly ominous monotone. 
"[color=f6989d]He doesn't like the fire."[/color]

[color=a2d39c]"Huh, is that a fact?"[/color] Rei asked, rubbing the back of her neck with one hand. [@XrazieVice]
