Re: [Bitp:R] Hueco Mundo 2
When Pico learns of his victory, he stands up. He then does something that not many people would expect...he applaudes Apolinar. He starts with a slow clap, speeding up the clap until he starts hooting and hollering, the smile on his face growing more and more smug.
"WOOOOOH!! NICE ONE!! HAHAHA!!"
-
Re: [Bitp:R] Hueco Mundo 2
Cecilia nods determinedly.
"Yes! I'll won't release! Or use my sword! That's fair!"
-
Re: [Bitp:R] Hueco Mundo 2
Fortunato snorts derisively at Cecilia's concept of "fair," but cares little about Zeiko's fate and has no interest in needling Cecilia further. Instead, he looks over at Pico.
"Enjoying yourself?"

"Enjoying yourself?"
Pico looks at Fortunato with a smug, mirthful grin, and a malicious gleam in his eye. "Of course I am. I just won on so many levels just now." At this point, he reaches into his fancy coat, and pulls out a cigar. He then strikes a match and lights it. "Wan' one?"
-
Re: [Bitp:R] Hueco Mundo 2
Cecilia starts writing calculations in the sky.
"Let's see... If I remove the variables of "x" and "y", x being my resurrecion, and y being my sword, and Zeiko starts with his release, then a value of "q" determines if I can win, but "q" can vary if I use any abilities...
Oh screw it, I'll just pound the snot out of him."
-
Re: [Bitp:R] Hueco Mundo 2
Fortunato holds up a hand and smiles thinly.
"I can't stomach the smoke."
-
Re: [Bitp:R] Hueco Mundo 2
Pico shrugs, and chuckles. "Sshuit yershelf, den." He says that still with the cigar in his mouth, puffing a couple of times before grabbing it and letting out a draw of smoke.
"I think this is gonna be a real good day..." A smirk crosses Pico's face.
-
Re: [Bitp:R] Hueco Mundo 2
Fortunato leans back, and his smile fading to a somewhat patronizing smirk.
"Be careful what you say. You never know when you might have a run of bad luck."
-
Re: [Bitp:R] Hueco Mundo 2
Cecilia gets up, stretching.
"By the Nine Ghosts, I'm cramped."
She grins at the Fortunato and Pico.
"Which one of you lovely boys would like to accompany me on a glorious hunt?"
-
Re: [Bitp:R] Hueco Mundo 2
Pico grins and looks to Cecilia. "I can head with ya." He then looks back to Fortunato with a sarcastic look in his eyes, as if to say "you were saying?".
He then takes a few more puffs from his cigar.
-
Re: [Bitp:R] Hueco Mundo 2
Fortunato's patronizing expression changes not at all at Pico's look. He stands slowly, his cloak closing around his body as he does so.
"I'd come, but I have more important things to being doing. You kids have fun."
He vanishes using Sonído, reappearing on the floor of the arena near Apolinar.
"A magnificent showing, General. Congratulations on your victory."
He blurs away once more, this time leaving the arena entirely.

Re: [Bitp:R] Hueco Mundo 2
Cecilia grins at Pico, and vanishes, leaving a scribbled note.
"TO THE MIDDLE OF Nowhere SOMEPLACE! Meet outside LN.~Cecilia"

Pico looks at the note and grins. "Well now, this should be interesting." He looks to Amada. "Looks like we're heading home, kid." He shoots a glance to Sereg. "Yo Sereg!! Feel free to take the beer that's left."
Pico then opens up a garganta, and picks up Amada, whether she likes it or not. Pico then walks into the garganta, dissappearing without a word of courtesy to anyone.
[Pico's Palacio]
They soon arrive at the Palacio, namely at Pico's suite, right next to his bed. The man himself dumps Amada rather unceremoniously onto it, though not necessarily aiming to hurt her. Plus, the bed is rather fluffy and comfy, so it's a soft landing. "Oh, and don't worry about paperwork or any of that crap. I'll have Percivel take care of your share." He practically rips off the solid metal choker that had been at his neck for some time. He then takes off his coat, revealing a popped-collar black shirt. "Take the time to relax, hang out. Hell, you can hang around here, even. Bring some guy in you like, get some wine, do stuff. Whatever, just have some fun." At this point, his voice is coming from a rather fancy, if oddly decorated bathroom. He soon arrives in his normal outfit. Fur-collered white coat with a black cloth choker, and white leather pants with a black linear design on the sides. Before Amada can have a chance to protest, he ruffles her hair. "Relax, I'll be fine." And then, he was gone, the only sign of his leaving being an electric whine and a small sonic boom...
[Outside Las Noches]
Pico soon arrives outside Las Noches, hoping to find Cecilia.

Re: [Bitp:R] Hueco Mundo 2
Cecilia crouches behind a rock, totally obvious.
It's the only plastic rock in Hueco Mundo.

Pico looks at it, and sighs audibly. "You know, if you don't wanna hunt with me, you should just say it instead of hiding behind a plastic rock..."

Re: [Bitp:R] Hueco Mundo 2
Caiphus, hearing all of noise from the arena, looked up from Zeiko's fallen form to Cecilia and Pico leaving the arena.
The fight must have already finished. Caiphus thought, somewhat wantonly. This meant that he had taken too much time in beating Zeiko. He hoped that this didn't put him in Cecilia's bad graces, but she'd probably forgotten who Zeiko was by now anyway. He turned to his fallen foe.
"Count yourself lucky today, boy. The fight is already over, so you're off the hook. But you have earned my ire for insulting my lady; that is a slight I shall not soon forget."
And with that, Caiphus vanished in a crackle of Sonido, off to look for Cecilia. He wasn't sure if he trusted her alone with Pico. He may only be the Decima, but he was trouble; Caiphus was sure of it.
He found her easily enough. Always the same fake rock. He wondered why she even bothered hiding at all when her reiatsu made her a beacon for about a thousand yards. "My lady," Caiphus began. "I believe you mentioned something about a hunt?"
-
Re: [Bitp:R] Hueco Mundo 2
When Fortunato sonidos to Apolinar, congratulates him, and flits off again, Apolinar just shrugs and heads for the exit. Completely ignoring Pico's applause, he stamps out of the arena in an even fouler mood than when he entered.
"That was crap."
Apolinar sonidoes off back to Ciudad Baja, nearly killing a recruit on the training fields as he zips past. Soon he was standing in front of a batch of raw recruits, whose lives he was going to make hell. Business as usual in the Undercity.

Cecilia snickers.
"I'm well aware. Come on, race ya!"
She speeds off to the north.

Re: [Bitp:R] Hueco Mundo 2
Pico chuckles, then looks at Caiphus before, crouching, as though to lift off of the ground. "Keep up if you can!" With an electric whine, Pico gives chase to Cecilia.

Caiphus had been considering heading back. After all, Caos Encarnado wasn't going to run itself, no matter how much Caiphus wanted it to. But then, Pico challenged him. Sonido was one of his best attributes. He wouldn't lose. Caiphus took off after them.

Re: [Bitp:R] Hueco Mundo 2
Zeiko blinks as Caiphus leaves. Struggling to sit up.

"... I don't think that will be the case, Miss", he finally says. "You won't have much less people trying to eat you - just many more that are less likely to succeed." He finishes his tea and stands up.
"But enough of that. Your leg should be in perfect condition within a week - maybe earlier, it really depends on your vitality, Miss." He offers his hand to pull Canguro up from the bed. "If you're still uncustomed to city life, maybe you can come with me to train in the desert for a while. But before that, would you like me to show the other residents of this good palace?"
"I guess you're right... the 'less likely to suceed' part sounds appealing though." Canguro downed the rest of her tea, setting it down on the stand as she took his hand to stand up, wincing a little
"Training sounds good, once my legs are fixed up... I wouldn't mind seeing who else's staying here while I recover."

Re: [Bitp:R] Hueco Mundo 2
[Cuarta Sector]
In her wanderings, Ruwa eventually reaches the Cuarta's part of the city. She stops after entering the boundaries, looking thoughtful. ...I wonder if Alejandro-sama knows anything about what I'm feeling... For a moment, she considers this...
Then nods, pressing onward.

Eriku" She says as she struggled to remember his name, handing the container back to the loquacious gentleman whom she had ignored.
Eriku's left cheek twitches slightly. He was not used to be being ignored.
"Y-you are most welcome, Gwen. Perhaps we should continue onward to the city? Keep moving, avoid any unnecessary attention, et cetera?"
-------
[Arena]
Roux did little in response to Apolinar's offers other than glare. He ignored the bone thrown his way, and hobbled out of the arena under his own power, his broken leg apparently not causing him much in the way of pain.
[Skybox]
Aléjandro sighed and rose from his seat.
"Well, it passed the time I suppose."
With that, the Cuarta vanished in a burst of sonido, reappearing several seconds later in front of the limping Roux.
"Do you require assistance, Lobosolo?"
"S'fine. I've had worse."
"As you wish. When you're ready, come find me and we shall visit his Majesty to discuss the favour I owe you for your services."
The Numero spat blood and a few broken shards of teeth.
"Fine." he said curtly, before limping off to a doctor he knew he could trust.
Aléjandro sighed, and began sonidoing back towards his sector, slowing to his normal walking speed as he enters the Cuprum Quarter, pulling out a battered book to read as he does so.

Re: [Bitp:R] Hueco Mundo 2
[Cuarta Sector]
Ruwa twitches as she recognizes Alejandro's reiatsu moving into the sector. She picks up her pace to catch him... And, assuming Alejandro doesn't go to any lengths to avoid the fraccion, his path soon crosses hers, as she stands in front of him, looking troubled (which might be slightly odd, considering her usually bubbly countenance).
"...Alejandro-sssama..." She bows deeply. "...isss there any chance I could ssspeak with you?"
-
Re: [Bitp:R] Hueco Mundo 2
[Cuarta's Sector]
Aléjandro raises looks up from his book and blinks upon seeing Ruwa.
"You're one of Mei's lot, aren't you? ... Ruwa, is it?"
He sighs and closes his book, returning it to the pocket from whence it came.
"You're lucky I wasn't terribly involved with anything. Go on, what is it you desire to converse about?"
-
Re: [Bitp:R] Hueco Mundo 2
[Cuarta Sector]
Ruwa nods, doing her best to keep a respectful, deferential stance in relation to Alejandro. "W-well... I know you like booksss... Ssso..." She shuffles her feet a little.
"...Normally, I've been okay with having ssstrictly physssical relationssshipsss to get what I wanted... but... I'm the Fraccion to an Essspada who I don't really care about, assside from that ssshe givesss me whatever I want... But I want more. And yet... not. Do you know why?..." She blinks. "...Isss thisss what heartache feelsss like? Or love? What isss love, anyway?..."
-
Re: [Bitp:R] Hueco Mundo 2
Aléjandro freezes for several seconds before, of all things, chuckling. It isn't a pleasant noise, sounding forced and hollow.
"What a... a fascinating question. Come, walk with me."
Without waiting for a reply, Aléjandro begins walking towards his Palacio.
"I may be the worst possible person to ask such a question of, Ruwa. I feel little in the way of emotion, and ignore what remnants I have left of it in favour of reason and logic. As far as I am concerned, love is little more than series of chemical reactions firing within one's neurons."
The Cuarta falls silent for a period, before suddenly resuming speech.
"However, one man's opinion, even if empirically and logically supported, is not necessarily fact. Mortals have been toying with this question for millennia, if not longer, and many works have been written on the subject. Ruwa - to answer your question, I must do something that I personally have never done before."
-
Re: [Bitp:R] Hueco Mundo 2
Ruwa nervously keeps pace after Alejandro, listening intently. She blinks at the last bit of the Espada's response. ...oh no, am I going to take his virginity? ...No, how could someone like him... Why did he have to make it so vague? Is he going to get mad if I ask? ...The suspense is killing me!
"...You aren't asssking me to sssleep with you, are you?" Ruwa instantly flinches after letting her thoughts out loud.
-
Re: [Bitp:R] Hueco Mundo 2
"No, no, no. Nothing so... crass. What this forces me to do is much, much worse." he says, his voice darkening.
"To answer your question, Ruwa, I am going to have to unlock the Romance and Poetry floors of the Grand Library."
