[Bitp:R] Hueco Mundo

[Viera Champion]

They aren't having much of a conversation. She's just threatening him.

[Terry576]

Like any unreasonable woman, who also has borderline psychosis, Cecilia hops up and walks over to Zeiko, and stares at him for a few seconds.

"Yep. You'll do. Congratulations Random Arrancar, you are now my Champion for this Tournament! I'm Cecilia, the Sexta Espada, and since I'm clearly stronger than you, you will do what I say. Now come, I have to go rub it in Sereg's face that I somehow managed to find a champion!"

She begins to search for Sereg, clearly expecting Zeiko to follow her.

[Frozen_Feet]

Lalita smiles innocently at Zeiko as he glares at him. He also waves happily after him as Cecilia drags the painter to the arena. "Good luck, Mister Zeiko! I'm sure you will do fine! Please, don't get yourself horribly mauled - it would make Master Edward very sad!" He almost manages to sound worried. Almost.

[Viera Champion]

Wait what? Nooo! You can't go kidnapping Numeros! Help me! At least let me kill Lalita first! Noooooooooo...

[Terry576]

Cecilia sighs, and whistles happily at his words.

"I like you Numeros. You have the inherent bloodlust I look for in my frenemies. Tell you what, if you somehow survive, I'll let you be my Fraccion. Now, I think I see Sereg over there. OY SEREG! I TOLD YOU I CAN TO BE ON TIME!"

[Viera Champion]

But I don't want to be your fraccion!

[Terry576]

Cecilia grinned.

"But if you're my Fraccion, I'm pretty sure you can boss around Lalita. Eh? Eh?"

[Viera Champion]

Zeiko ponders this one.
But that's not worth dying over! Let me go woman! If you wanna use me in a tournament, at least choose one that's not a fight to the death.

[Terry576]

Cecilia pouts.

"Pleeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase? I need to show the rest of the Espada that I'm not useless and forgetful! Besides, you're clearly strong. Just go and do your thing and it'll all be over once you totally ROCK."

She's clearly trying not to be her usually demonic self. It's kind of creepy.

[Viera Champion]

Cecilia pouts.

"Pleeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase? I need to show the rest of the Espada that I'm not useless and forgetful! Besides, you're clearly strong. Just go and do your thing and it'll all be over once you totally ROCK."

She's clearly trying not to be her usually demonic self. It's kind of creepy.

But you are useless and forgetful! I do...
...
Finnnneeeee...

[Terry576]

Cecilia grins, and seems genuinely happy.

"Yay! Thanks... Erm... Numeros! Now come on, we have to go find Sereg and enter you in as my Champion."

Cecilia walks off, dragging poor Zeiko behind her as she searches for Sereg, to brag about how awesomely awesome her Champion is.

[Viera Champion]

My names Zeiko(buburraku).

[Terry576]

Cecilia grins and nods absentmindedly at learning Zeiko's name.

"Alright Zeiko, I think you need to go and wait in that area where the other competitors are."

She waves in a direction that appears to be where to go.

"I will be in a Skybox, glaring at Edward and pointing out that I managed to get a Champion. Enjoy the Tournament!"

She walks off, whistling happily, in the general direction of where the Skybox would be.

She'll get there eventually.

[Viera Champion]

Zeiko heads down to where he is supposed to go, grumbling about why he ever agreed to this.

[Shades of Gray]

Edward spoke in a hushed teasing tone. "She isn't secretly working you to death and keeping you locked up like one of her prisoners is she?"

Anita

"No! No! Of course not! She does not really make me do anything, I sort of do it of my own accord. I do not really need to interact with her much, just the daily updates." Anita looked at her Espada for a second, then returned her gaze to Edward. "I don't know how, but it sort of just... works out fine. It may be quiet at times... But it's a lifestyle that I enjoy." The Fraccion said a bit more softly. Anita certainly looked like she wished it was one of those quieter moments.

[nothingclever]

Edward matched her tone. "Ah, well that's a relief. If you really like what you do then feel free to take out that clipboard again and talk all about it. I'm all ears."

[Shades of Gray]

Anita

"Ah-alright then." The fraccion smiled warmly, taking out the clipboard once more. If Edward was looking then he would see the contents of her bag was the aforementioned clipboard, as well as a pack of gum and a dark green dagger. "I am in charge of organizing the "pits." Essentially, Genoveva-Sama's prison."

[nothingclever]

As Edward leaned over to get a better view of the notes his face came close to Anita's. "What's it like in there?" He smiled dreamily as he spoke as if he were entranced by her words.

[Shades of Gray]

Anita

Anita sighed wistfully as she looked at Edward. "Well, it's a little..." She then saw Genoveva in the corner of her eye. The Fraccion adjusted her glasses and took on a completely professional look. "Er. Umm. Under strict order not to give out any classified information. Um- Sorry."

[nothingclever]

"Darn, and I was about to ask if you could show me around the place sometime. Well if you'd ever like to visit my palacio instead you're welcome to. Nothing would be off limits to you." Edward's voice carried a little disappointment before perking up as he made his offer.

[Shades of Gray]

Anita

"Sure. I'll take that offer as soon as I can find the time." She said as she looked at her schedule. Now how to make time... Anita sighed. "This will probably change the entire schedule."

[nothingclever]

"Great!" said Edward enthusiastically. "I'd be delighted to have you visit. There's all sorts of things to see and do. Maybe you'd like to relax at a private spa for some me-time. I'll make sure you get only the best treatment if you decide to. You could also have your portrait painted as a commemorative gift. Of course I doubt even the best painters would be able to do your beauty justice. It's nice to know that if Genoveva ever gets royally ticked off at me there's a chance I'll end up in your care."

[Viera Champion]

Zeiko tries to hide in a corner, hoping that they all forget about him and just assume Cecilia didn't find a champion. Especially after he sees that there are privaron Espada in the group.

[Shades of Gray]

"Great!" said Edward enthusiastically. "I'd be delighted to have you visit. There's all sorts of things to see and do. Maybe you'd like to relax at a private spa for some me-time. I'll make sure you get only the best treatment if you decide to. You could also have your portrait painted as a commemorative gift. Of course I doubt even the best painters would be able to do your beauty justice. It's nice to know that if Genoveva ever gets royally ticked off at me there's a chance I'll end up in your care."

Anita

Anita was very thankful for the long hair that obscured her cheeks at the moment. "Th-that all sounds really nice... But Genoveva does not keep arrancar as prisoners." Anita tried to regain most of her cool. She figured that she looked incredibly unprofessional. She leaned back in her chair slightly. "She finds something to do with them. Or... she does not." The fraccion sounded oddly ominous, looking in Mei's direction briefly before returning her gaze to Edward. "But you wouldn't want to tick Genoveva-Sama off... right?"

[nothingclever]

Edward continued to speak with a soft and now tender voice. "No, I'd much rather do whatever would make her and you happy. And not just because I don't want to get on her bad side. I genuinely care for you two."

[Callos_DeTerran]

Amada

"'You'd find the ugliest adjuchas cute in that state'? What the hell do you mean by that?! Are you trying to say I'm not cute? Geez, maybe I should take Edward up on his offer, he even professed to love me after all!" she threatens indiginantly, glaring at Pico some more before giving a loud 'hmph' and looking away.

If he's going to be like that, then he deserves to get screwed over! Hmph! I spend all night trying to think of an out for him and this is the treatment that I get!

"Why should I tell you, huh?! You'll just get irritable and cranky if there is! Geez, I knew I should have aimed higher then the tenth Espada's fraccion!" she grumbles aloud, storming out of the office in a huff.

[Shades of Gray]

Edward continued to speak with a soft and now tender voice. "No, I'd much rather do whatever would make her and you happy. And not just because I don't want to get on her bad side. I genuinely care for you two."

Anita

Anita nodded slowly and silently, at a loss for words for a few seconds. She then spoke calmly and coolly. "Thank you, Edward. It really means a lot to me, well, to us."

The fraccion put her clipboard away (after making notes to schedule a full schedule change of course) once more. "By the way... Do you know anything about the event? All I know is that it is some sort of... Gladiatorial deal."

[nothingclever]

"Well," said Edward casually, "I know the participants aren't officially fighting to the death and each person is only allowed to enter one representative. Tark, Canguro and Apolinar will be taking part. Pico's made a bet he regrets with your master. That's about it. Oh and Sereg got angry when she decided to host the event here without his permission."

[Shades of Gray]

Anita

Anita nodded in agreement, even if she did not know who Canguro or Apolinar were. "Is there any sort of occasion for this fight? A prize?" She asked, not really understanding the idea of violence as a sport.

[InyutheBeatIs]

[Pico's Palacio]

"What are you babbling about? Wait, WHAT?

Pico sonidos in front of the entrance, blocking Amada off. The process makes him a bit nauseous, covering his mouth at the same time as he holds up his hand. After a bit of fighting off the urge to vomit, he manages to get a few words out. "Hold up now. No need to get all worked up." After he composed himself, and probably shoved her backwards to keep her from leaving, he starts talking. "Look, I never said you weren't cute, or sexy, or whatever the crap you want me to say. You look just fine to me. As for Eddy, let me tell you right now if there is one thing I learned about that Hollow it's that he's obsessed with all of female kind, so if he says he loves ya...well, he may be right, but don't think it's exclusive. Now, I'm pretty sure that any bullcrap about me being your boss so you had to stay 'cause I say so would blow right over. So, if you really wanna leave me, I guess there's not much I can do about it. Wouldn't be the first time, now would it? As for any "baby please don't go" speech, I got nothing. Wasn't built for that sorta thing." He then moves away from the doorway, and moves back to the bathroom and starts up a bath. He comes back, hopefully before Amada leaves.

"Wait! I think I got something. You wanna know why you should tell me about that crap?! Because you are one of the few people I even give a crap about. You're one of the few people I listen to, confide in, and all that jazz! Why do you think I put up with you doing the stuff you do to me?! Because I think of you better than I do most guys!! Why do you think I can do the crap I do in front of you?! Because I trust you to not pull a sack over my head and beat me to death! And why do you think I'm even trying to convince you to stay? Because I want you. Because I think you're a good fighter, a good manager, and a good fraccion, and I don't want you selling out to some fancy-*** pretty boy Casanova!! Or some hypersexual spider!! Or anybody else for that matter!! So there!! I'm done!" He then stormed back to his bathroom, crossing his arms and rubbing his forehead until the bath fills.
