BleachitP OOC XI: All wet and tied up.

[strawberryman]

I would just like to present Naruhi with this.

*gives Psychobitch Award*

No offense, but she's kind of earned it.

[Kasanip]

Okay then, that'll give me time to finish all the details for the new arc...

Remnants of The Fallen

I'd really like it someone could help me with Japanese translation since I suck at it.

@Garunath: Was Mesuinu completely unfazed by hearing a voice come out of Isara's Zanpakutou referring to here as nii-san?

There are very few things in this world that would catch Mesuinu off guard. Given that she's a shinigami, talking swords are not on the list.

Everyone is dead of mine but Mia, who's survival depends on how much Von Geister cares about his daughters.

Such an award is a badge of honour in the arena of tragic romance; Sane people may never go through half the range of emotions that a true lunatic can polish off in a single afternoon. Besides, mentally unstable, traumatized, delusional stalkers deserve a shot at love just as much as anyone else.

Also, no sane girl would have fallen in love with Kiljaeran in the first place...

[strawberryman]

Fair assessment, good sir.

[Draken]

Clearly the entire thing is but a plot from Hueco Mundo. Kiljaeran's constant paranoia is a harsh impediment to the proper positioning of spies by Las Noches, which led Von Geister to sneak about, fetch the most mentaly deranged female shinigami he could find and alter her emotions through tentaclemindrape. Then use his numerous abilities of body-snatching, indetectability, memory alteration and mind control to prepare grounds for the union of those two completely dispar individuals, until finally leading to the death of both.

However, Mia went and put her own plan in motion at the single worst moment, turning months, if not years of careful positioning of pieces into a huge waste of time.

It all fits.

Speaking of Kasnip, could I get a translation for 'Eye of the God Below'?

[KnightDisciple]

Deadtiming.

Satoshi: Arguing with Tai.

Tyler: At Honoka's.

Hector: Chatting with fellow Bount.

Noriko: Probably off training somewhere.

Luther: Keeping one eye on the patrols, and one eye on Adrian.

Team 5: Guarding, healing, or dead.

I'm sure Takusen will take the time to poke holes in Von Geister's motives if it comes up.

[strawberryman]

I'm idly wondering what Palillo is doing in Lance's absence.

[horngeek]

Do we really want to know?

Who actually gets this one?

I know Takeshi does, but apart from him.

I don't actually hate him... but it's still so much fun.

[Callos_DeTerran]

Sabine does.

Who actually gets this one?

Seeing as I willingly subjected Yumi to Kageshiki I would think I'm at least a close candidate, and a horrible person.

Achievements are no good if bestowed upon oneself, though.

[horngeek]

Sabine does.

You know, that set me idly wondering what Sabine's reaction would be if my evil plan for Takeshi actually went through.

Because I still think doing it would be hilarious.

[Ganurath]

Strawberry: She's doing something she hasn't done since she became Novena: Free flying around Las Noches.

Horngeek: The secret behind Kessen's eyebrows.

Eh?

I tend not to get non-sequiter, even if it's incredibly obvious.

[Zarah]

Six pages? Six pages!? I was only gone to work for six hours! What is wrong with you people?

....Anyway. Gather 'round, folks. It's time for Zarah's opinions on...

...New factions:

Spoiler

Show

I agree with everyone saying that any new factions should be put on hold until some of the existing ones are taken care of. I also wouldn't get too happy about making new factions for use right after that, because I imagine that once they're gone, the focus is going to be shifting back to the Shinigami/Arrancar war as things finally get into full swing (read: we start wantonly slaughtering the Espada). Not to say that new factions should be outright banned or anything, but I think we should get back to our roots for a while.

Also, while I'm on the subject, I might as well bring up a faction idea I had. Basically, it boiled down to a faction for Hell, themed after Dante's Inferno. I think it's a delicious idea, but I don't expect to actually put it to use, for a few reasons. One, Hell is a canon Bleach concept, which will probably be appearing again in the series, so I don't want to come up with something that will be completely contradicted by the canon later on. Two, we have enough factions already and don't really need many more, especially ones that would no doubt act as extra-supar-evil demon-villains. And three, I haven't actually read the Divine Comedy, so I wouldn't know what the hell (pun not intended) I was talking about.

But I can dream!

...Proximity to canon:

Spoiler

Show

I love Bleach. And being able to play in a sandbox version of the Bleach universe to make up my own story is proving to be very enjoyable. However, I still like keeping things Bleach at its core, and I'm sure that pretty much everyone agrees as far as most things go.

However, there is one thing that irks me about this RPG. It doesn't happen all that often these days, and people were certainly more guilty of it earlier, but I still think it should be said. Namely, when characters pull out their most powerful abilities like it's nothing at all. While that might theoretically be the case, it's still not really the right feeling for Bleach. My theory still remains that if a character pulls out their trump card, it should be for a very significant fight, possibly even ending in the character's death. That's the main reason that I haven't done anything with Marro. I'm dying to get him out there and fight, honestly, but when he finally does release his zanpakutou, he's probably not coming back alive. To me, anything else cheapens the effect. There's a reason that people have gotten tired of seeing Hitsugaya's bankai.

On the other hand, I will admit that it's rather fun having one of, if not the only character in this RPG who still hasn't drawn his weapon.

EDIT: Bah, I almost forgot the reason I pretty much wrote this section. I had the idea of eventually throwing the canon Bleach story down the tubes and going off on our own dramatically different way down the road. Something like Masato confronting Toho and having an epic battle, eventually defeating him and restoring peace! ...Only to take his place and completely screw over everyone else. Thus begins Act 2: The Arrancar Strike Back! It's something to think about anyway, since it's so far down the road at this point that anything could happen between there...

...The GRIMDARK setting:

Spoiler

Show

An interesting concept, but like strawberryman said earlier, I'm not entirely sold. Also, if we turn it into yet another thread, then count me out, since I simply won't be able to keep track of an alternate universe. My characters can all be missing, dead, or under someone else's control. It doesn't particularly matter to me either way.

...Espada players:

Spoiler

I'm still waiting for at least one more PM from the Espada players, namely from Osseous regarding the Decima. Lorolar, I went ahead and assumed that Kinezumi didn't have any dramatic changes when he became an Espada, since I didn't receive anything from you, but if I'm wrong, then please correct me. Especially since I already have him drawn and posed for the scene.

Did I miss anything?

[MageSparrowhawk]

I want to completely agree with you on the overuse of cool abilities. It really seems overkill when Bankai is being used more than Shikai...

Oh, and neither Kuenai nor Tirano have 'drawn their weapons' though the latter doesn't count for much, seeing as he's only been around little while...

[Ganurath]

Eh?

I tend not to get non-sequiter, even if it's incredibly obvious.

The torturing a character just for the lulz. I felt Kessen was a bit too bland, so... *schlick* He now has a Hollow hole.

[horngeek]

Ahhh...

Well, Takeshi and Takusen are meeting again.

Wonder what will come of this.

Takeshi getting tortured by moi, most probably.

Or something.

[Ganurath]

I figured it would be Takeshi bringing up the zombies, and Takusen turning things around so that Takeshi tortures himself.

[horngeek]

Or Takusen acting as a plot device.

[strawberryman]

Liz has yet to use Scourge. She's saving it for someone who she irrevokably hates.

...It might be a while.

[Ganurath]

Well, if Adilla's in Takeshi, he may have something to make her more comfortable in his skin that hasn't been tested yet.

[horngeek]

Adilla isn't in Takeshi.

As stated in the Mortal World thread, he's letting her recover, then she makes the decision whether to go back or not.

Probably will.

I was talking about a certain Crack idea that I still think would be hilarious.

[Ganurath]

Hmm... Well, what logical circumstance would provoke Takusen to turn Takeshi into a girl?

[horngeek]

Innocent experiment gone wrong?

[Ganurath]

Here, drink this, it'll numb the pain...

...Wait, this does that. Which one was that?

[horngeek]

...Takeshi will be so annoyed.

I'm just resigned to this...
