Results and explainations of how and what went down will be in the next chapter. At first things will be dicey because Rei tries to put a
spell-tag on him so they could erase his memory. She nearly gets her arm broken for her trouble. (At first this doesn't really endear her to him, but
once she sees that he is merely wary and not resentful...) The Senshi are, to be blunt, freaked out by him: He worships a 'Kami' that is
representative of Darkness and it shows. However, he points out that Raven is More Than That and that it is the Senshi that need to learn about important
things such as balance. Who better than a Libra to teach them?
As for the TV stage crew... I'm gonna say that they cut and run. Especially once they saw the crazy flipping gaijin with the fire ax. The monster was
one thing, but an ax wielding American is just too much, even on its own.
His involvement as explained to the police? He saw some electrical equipment shorting out in the chaos and, rather than try to explain it with his incomplete
Nihongo in the midst of the madness, he made a judgement call and cut the lines before it could get out of control. With all the excitement, the TV crew just
overreacted.
That said, this won't be an Earth-Shattering-Revelation to the populace in general. Instead, there's going to be some news clips of the camera footage
(plus an uncut version that got leaked to Youtube) that's going to be confusing as all hell - except to anyone who happens to know anything about magic.
(Cue the phone call from Grandpa Bear: "What in the name of all the Gods are you doing over there, Boy!?") Ergo, this will be taken in stride...
But the people that do know what to make of it are going to be on edge. (^_^)
I can just see the meeting between Zeke and Nanoha-and-company:
Yuno: "You're that guy that killed a monster without any magic! I'm glad you're on our side. ... I thought you'd be taller."
Zeke: "This coming from a ferret?"
Bob Schroeck:
Not sure if I can pick between them. How about a bit of both? Nerima is quiet, except for that NWC, which the citizens take in stride with
the long-suffering patience that the Japanese are known for. There is a bit of strangeness involved - you can't have an active 'urban-renewal
plan' (the city council's words, not Zeke's) like that in action without taking a few precautions, but Nerima is otherwise normal.

The Glamour that the senshi have on them in their transformed state may indeed be fanon, but it's suitably appropriate fannon, IMHO. It
is in full affect here, except Zeke is the kind of stubborn twit that isn't affected by that kind of thing. This is going to be explained in the next
chapter (one of the reasons why they want to erase his memory at first).
Going places and doing things will be severely curtailed indeed, but primarily because he's going to be getting pulled in several different directions at
once. The Senshi, however, will definitely be involved for their major plot archs, seeing as their trouble tends to be the End-Of-The-World-As-We-Know-It
variety. Which, of course, is going to involve any other available parties. The Dark Moon Circus is going to be in for one hell of a surprise. (^_^)
As for the degree of his insightfulness... I don't plan on letting it get any worse than it is now. Observant he is, but not omniscent. He'll smell
the smoke, but won't know for certain what kind of fire he's dealing with until he sees it (hence why he's kinda stuck where he is with Rei).
Future Cardian-kills are going to be assists on his part. Now that he's getting better access to his mage abilities (an insight from Rei is going to make
him have a Duh!-Why-Didn't-I-Think-Of-It! moment) he's going to be using them as 'test subjects' for his experiments with mage-tech.
Aslo, that when Rei shares that insight with him, it's gonna confuse the both of them a bit - the whole, Hey-I-Thought-You-Hated-Me! trope. Like I said,
this thing between Zeke and Rei wasn't going to happen overnight.
EML and Foxboy:
Coyote in a Kimono? Interesting indeed. Daughter of Coyote meets Son of Raven (being somewhat metaphorical here). Could explain the utter
chaos that goes on in their combined presence. Also I like the thing about Amaterasu is sometimes represented as a Raven. Or even something called a Jungle
Crow. Which is what Rei's two companions appear to be. Wonder what that means. (~_^)
Note: In Sailor Stars, it turns out that Rei's Ravens are actually among the scant few survivors of a world the Galaxia destroyed through the help of the
woman that became Sailor Lead Crow - in the mang-version she betrayed her people in exchange for having their Senshi's power. Just for this alone, I think
I'll include that story line as well (got mental imagery of Zeke going ape-shit on sight of her, beserking while screaming "traitor" and
"usurper"). Don't worry, I'll do my best not to break anyone's minds with that one.
