Re: [BiTPR2] Renewed Revolution: Spirit World V
Monastery of Ho-u
She gets chained by the sudden bindings, the weapons dissipating.
"Aaaaaaargh! You idiot! The voices don't care about mortals! Neither Shinigami nor Hollows are safe! Your only needlessly endangering yourselves! I was trying to get to the Mortal World where its SAFE for us both!"
She doesn't struggle though, even if she looks a bit angry.

Re: [BiTPR2] Renewed Revolution: Spirit World V
Seji turns to Kazuki and smiles a strained smile. "No thanks, Mr. Kazuki. A patient is just resisting treatment. Everything's fine." He then turns back to Narsica.
"Going to the Mortal World isn't safe either until you can control yourself. Your Hollow side will still want to attack civilians. The Mortal World has Shinigami too. And Hollows. I don't wither you or those little voices in your head would like Quincies intent on poking and prodding you, finding out how you exist without tearing yourself apart from the conflict in your Reiryoku. Nowhere is safe for you until you find out how to control yourself. And we can help you with that."Last edited by King539; 2016-12-17 at 10:13 PM.

Re: [BiTPR2] Renewed Revolution: Spirit World V
The man sighs dejectedly.
"There was a time when people wouldn't ask a price, they would just think of the opportunity and jump to the call of adventure. I miss those glorious days, I think we all do."
Well, probably not a "we" that is anywhere in this city, mind you.
"Fine, have at you. I have always traded in the greatest coin, wisdom. Tell me, what do you want, Nuala Birne, founder and leader of Nonessentia. What do you seek to find where I am leading you, and why?"
The man lifts himself onto the table with his arms as he speaks. Shutters clatter closed on every window of the library, shutters that did not exist a moment ago. The candlelights are snuffed by a wind. Only a radiance from nowhere casts flickering, overlapping shadows ringed by the colors of a prism. The brim of his hat hides the upper half of his face, leaving only his enormous grin visible.
Which granted, probably means he can't see anything above Nuala's neckline, but hey. By now she is pretty positive that this man is a lecher, or acts like one. Or both, when in history have these been mutually exclusive? Never.
Truly, the pageantry, the airs, this all is so... Clownish, a tasteless joke, a charade of cartoonish villainy, a play at devilishness. It is downright satirical.
If she stays silent with a blank look for a minute or so, this whole thing will honestly just look stupid.
Well, the question is still serious, of course. Can she tell this nameless jester the truth of her plans?

Re: [BiTPR2] Renewed Revolution: Spirit World V
".......Fine. But just remember that there is a monstrous incomplete Hollow and a brainwashed zealous archer screaming in my head every second of every day to kill you all, and that this state of affairs is the better alternative to being a complete toy-soldier to a bunch of people who kidnapped and made me this way. Whom I call revenge dibs on by the way."
She was sure that the Hollow part of her was an Adjuchas and had grown out of such small morsels of soul like mortals, but whatever maybe they knew more?

Seji smiles. "Excellent! You'll make some progress yet. I hope you don't mind if I put you in prison for the safety of everyone else."
He then begins to walk back to the Monastery of the Ho-ou, the chained Narsica floating behind him. When he enters, he immediately walks over to Koutarou. "Excuse me, but would you mind directing me to the nearest high-security prison?"

Re: [BiTPR2] Renewed Revolution: Spirit World V
[Monastery of the Ho-ou]
Kazuki follows Seji and Narsica into the monastery. Or more accurately, walks in the same direction they do. When he spots his captain, he gives the man a keen salute, but his face betrays concern. Instead of saying anything, he watches the acting captain's antics, and silently takes notes. Eyebrows perked and his most patient expression on, he waits for his captain, who should not yet be discharged, and therefore not yet capable of performing duty tasks, to reply.

[The Great Library of Las Noches]
Nuala stares as the hollow grandstands, treating him to a few moments of silence after he finishes. Then she snorts, clapping at his antics. Of course, while everything about this said he wasn't a real threat, that was exactly why she remained wary. Just, in a less obvious way. She let her shoulders relax, and cracked a smile with a laugh, remembering to crinkle her eyes just a little bit. What a card. "Outstanding," she lauds at him. "Do ya rehearse, or didja come up with this one just fi me?"
While she speaks, Saltamontes returns from elsewhere, carrying a second zanpakuto, which he hands over to her. As soon as her skin touches scabbard, she suppresses a gasp. New memories flood into her mind, a lost connection never made is forged anew. Despite the distraction, she manages to keep her eyes on the jester, with his very strange act. "Aight, then. I'm collecting information on how zanpakuto are forged; I plan t' outfit my báirseacha with crafts o' similar quality."

"If you were going to have her arrested anyway, Seji-kun, you SHOULD be contacting Internal Security." Koutarou says with a heavy sigh. "IntSec's HQ is that way. Shouldn't you have an escort, in any case? We can't exactly have you getting injured under the current circumstances. For all we know things are about to get worse."
He turns to Kazuki. "Let me guess. You were on my way to see me, Kazuki?"The Void, the Cold Steel, the Just Sword courtesy of Prime32.

Re: [BiTPR2] Renewed Revolution: Spirit World V
Jehoel allows his gaze, too, to move to the surrounding flora. Then, he breaks into a smile ever-so-slightly wider than his usual, more ambiguous expressions.
"Well said, Captain."
He looks Masaru in the eyes.
"This is the first era in the history of the modern Soul Society that would allow for an open conversation between a Hollow and a Shinigami. And I can think of a number of your predecessors who would never have allowed an exchange of this sort to occur even with the current peace in place. They would disapprove. But I would like to think that the world is better...managed...now than it was then."Truly awesome Ark Tamaeus avatar by Bryn. Full size version here.

Seji nods, blushing slightly in embarrassment. "No need for an escort, sir. I doubt she is strong enough to break free of her restraints."
He then briskly walks out of the building, the chained Narsica floating behind him. "Please try to understand, Miss Zoraida. I am simply incarcerating you to avoid you going berserk and ruining the peace we have built up."

Re: [BiTPR2] Renewed Revolution: Spirit World V
"Ok.....Deal....but only on one condition:
Don't tell......wait who was it that was leader since the pact thing everyone was talking about before they left for Las Noches....not Dainichi....oh right! Jehoel Yurius! Don't tell him I'm here. He's scary. I don't want my voices attacking Sir Jormungand. I'm not with him. I don't think I would survive, no matter how much one of the most powerful Vastro Lordes in existence sounds like a good way to complete me...."
She yammers on, a bit out of it, her head wandering from side to side. As for going berserk....hm.....the new pact thing benefited her in that the Shinigami so far don't seem to be killing her, yet wasn't benefiting her in the freedom boat. So far. Which is an incredibly important boat all things considered. It makes a lot of decisions and the guys there have the most fun on weekends. Something to consider also, was the revenge thing. Got to get revenge on those other Hollow-Quincy guys who made her this way. They were somehow different from her. She thinks she'll call them Quincows. Quin-cows! Thats suitably mocking of their statue.

Seji continues walking on while Narsica babbles. To someone better at understanding people than Narsica, it would be obvious that he is... bored. His eyes are just beginning to glaze over when Narsica stops speaking.
"So... what's your condition? All you're really doing is... well, rambling. And Jehoel Yurius is only the de facto leader of Las Noches. He hasn't been officially elected, or whatever the Hollows do to decide their leader."

Re: [BiTPR2] Renewed Revolution: Spirit World V
"Pretty sure the way we decide it is a classic "Strongest guy defeats the previous guy, he is promoted to the new king of everything because we don't want to die." about as official as it gets, so I Jehoel practically clinched that one. He has my vote until I can vote for myself.
My condition is two voices in my head. One is Hollow and wants to kill: Shinigami, Quincies and pretty much everything and eat Hollows to become complete. One is Quincy and wants to kill: Shinigami, Hollows and the Soul King. They argue. I suspect they are there because I don't have a Zanpakuto. Arrancars do not have this problem, because the Shinigami's Zanpakuto nature. My theory is that your Zanpakuto spirits are stabilizing in nature, because they guide and teach you to be better. Thus this Zanpakuto-ness somehow stabilizes an Arrancar, completes them in some way I do not understand. I on the other hand-"
Suddenly she tries to break free shouting and struggling
"KILL ALL SHINIGAMI! EAT ALL HOLLOWS! I SHALL PURGE BOTH TO KEEP HUMANITY SAFE!"
-have these two guys. I am not an Arrancar. I'm a Disparar. The natures of Quincy and Hollow do not stabilize the same way as the natures of Shinigami and Hollow. They are at war in my head, they are not helpful, and I don't think I am stable or complete. You could say that I might have spirits that are the opposite of a zanpakuto, as in they are broken, unhelpful and not apart of me at all and probably do nothing but wreck my mind.
But isn't there a rule against self-diagnosis in medicine? All that is just my theory."

"Yes, there is a rule against self-analysis in medicine. I figured that out the hard way. Anyways, neither of us have absolutely any idea what to do. I don't think anyone else has any idea what to do either. The only thing I can come up with at the moment, and this might not even be a good idea, is trying to sort of exert your dominance over the voices in your head. That way, they're too scared to try to take over, because they know you'll mentally punish them when you take back control. Just an idea. Probably not a very good one."
"By the way, we should be reaching the prison soon."

"Right. The Prison. Hm. I'mma sleep now. Wake me when I'm in my cell..."
She then goes to sleep. All that transformation and making weaponry and running really tired her out. However she did not go to sleep without a reason...
Spoiler: Narsica's Mind
She finds herself in her mindspace. A strange version of herself wearing a full Quincy uniform with no signs of being a hollow walks up to her.
"Greetings. I am the Quincy part of your powers, let us go-"
Narsica punches Quincy-Narsica in the face then slams her into the ground while taking a look around. Wow her mind-space was WRECKED. Wreckage, destroyed buildings and ships everywhere, a sky full of red cracks, jagged uneven ground, mismatched areas, everything was just plain screwed up.
"Wow. My mind is a mess. Guess the doc was right about me being insane or or whatever. But no matter, I think this place can fixed. Starting with you, you foreigner."
"I-"
Narsica stomped her foot on the Quincy-self's face.
"Did I give you permission to speak!? No. Listen. We're going to have a very one-sided conversation, where I demand you teach how your powers work better, and you, like a good little fragment of me, obeys and spills so that I can get out of prison quick with better powers ok? Or I'll....I dunno, its my mind, I'll imagine up some twisted away to torture you. But one thing is for sure: my mind, my rules, my rule is that you both obey or get scuppered in the gizzard.
"What does that even mean-"
Narsica stomps harder.
"I said talk!"
And so begins a very strange and uncomfortable conversation...

Re: [BiTPR2] Renewed Revolution: Spirit World V
Seji is a sharp one, and good at reading people. Add that in to the strategy he just mentioned to Narsica, it's no surprise he has at least an inkling of what Narsica is doing. As much as I dislike it when violence is the only answer, I suppose there's no other way.
Seji drops Narsica off in a cell, fills out the necessary paperwork, etc. Afterwards, he beginis to quickly walk back towards the Monastery of the Ho-ou. As there is no major problem on hand currently, he can begin to indulhe his scientific curiosity. Does Narsica have Hierro? What about Bala and Cero? Pesquisa? These thoughts, and others, go through his head during the walk back.

Re: [BiTPR2] Renewed Revolution: Spirit World V
She snores in her cell.
Spoiler: Inside her mind
"....and thats how you make your weapons more solid."
"Good. I'll be keeping that mind for later. By the way, wheres the Hollow-me?"
"You don't want her around."
"Why?"
"TIME TO DEVOUR! TIME TO SLAUGHTER!"
Suddenly a hollow in the form of Narsica's hollow form before altered by Quincy powers: white armor, four arms with claws like swords and bat wings, with red winds flowing around her.
"Thats why."
Narsica suddenly jumps away and the Quincy-Narsica dodges as well as the Hollow-Narsica fires a Cero at them from her mouth.
"Ok, you both obey me right now and stop fighting each other, or I kick your asses!"
"Not going to work. Who do you think is giving you all that reason, rationality and freedom of choice you currently have? ME. I've been fighting to keep that beast from overwhelming you again!"
"Yeah right, your just as crazy in a different way."
"Argue all you want, but if you want to keep these powers under control, we need to subdue the inner Hollow at the very least! If your not going to join me, at least form a truce on the side of reason so that we can beat this one there!"
"Fine, fine. You got a deal."
Narsica says and forms a red energy blade. the Quincy-Narsica draws her solid bone-white cutlass and pistol.
"Right. I'll take the front, you try to attack from the back. Three two one, break!"
They charge forward.

As soon as Senshi sets foot back on Soul Society's soil, there's a strange... nudge inside his head. Like some inner voice or intuition telling him to go visit a hospital right now. The East Gate hospital, to be specific. Why? That's hard to say. It's like that awkward feeling when you know you were supposed to do something, but can't remember what it was."It's the fate of all things under the sky,
to grow old and wither and die."

Huh. Going to the hospital seems like a great idea. Probably have him checked for, like, amnesia or something. Besides, when has trusting the strange voice in your head ever gone wrong?
Senshi walks through the Soul Society towards the East Gate Hospital. When he gets there, he waits outside the door for a moment, bracing himself. For all he knew, he's been away for years.

Las Noches
Everyone in Las Noches feels the wave of Reiryoku pass over it. A mere annoyance for all the Espada, it is a horrible, constricting pressure on the weakest Hollows, like lying underneath a boulder. Exactly who is causing it is unknown, but whoever it is, it's powerful.
Just outside Las Noches, the source of the Reiryoku is confused and kinda annoyed. "Hello! Would anyone in there mind telling me what exactly this place is? I just passed through here a hundred years ago and there was nothing here!"

As Senshi waits, his eyes are drawn towards a cold storage unit separate from the main hospital building. Normally, there'd be nothing worth of note there, but now, for some reason, two members of the hospital security are guarding it. They look nervous and frustrated.
Why's that? What's in the freezer? Wouldn't it be nice to know? The voice inside Senshi's head starts nudging him again."It's the fate of all things under the sky,

Senshi looks back and forth between the hospital and the freezer, agonizing over the decision. He looks back and forth as he considers his choices. Check-up? Or freezer? Check-up? Or freezer?
Eventually making up his mind, Senshi walks over to the freezer and the guards. "Hey guys! Just wondering, but what's in that freezer?"

Re: [BiTPR2] Renewed Revolution: Spirit World V
The guards glance at each other, then at Senshi. The one on the left speaks:
"Remember that Hollow outbreak some time ago? A dude dragged on of those things here, saying he wanted to keep it as a pet. A pet! Can you believe?"
"It was pretty badly torn up", the one on the right adds. "Had both of its arms severed. I dunno... we don't want to heal it, but boss said IntSec might want to interrogate it. So we stuck in the freezer so it won't die when no-one's looking."
The left guard shakes their head. "The coppers keep dragging their feet, though. Something about a prison having been blown up. It's the first time I ever heard of that. So we're stuck guarding it before the higher-ups make up their minds."
There's a sting in Senshi's mind - like he's heard this being discussed before. Something about how convenient opponents Hollowd are... you can just tear their arms off or freeze them solid and no-one cares...
... wouldn't it be a mercy to just kill it? Purify it? Release the innocent soul within? Huh, Senshi-boy?"It's the fate of all things under the sky,
to grow old and wither and die."

"Anways, bye."

Masaru regards Jehoel silently for several long moments. He does not flinch from the ancient Hollow's gaze, but eventually, he blinks, though it's a normal blink, not a "blink and then look way the heck away".
"I believe you are correct about our presence in a new era. The sad fact, to some, is that for me this conversation is...unnerving. I am still uncertain the terms our nations have agreed to are the most proper. However, I am also pragmatic enough to understand why decisions were made. And self-aware enough to acknowledge my own views may not be entirely correct. Certainly I'm more self-aware than the...individual...who recently troubled the Commander."
His gaze drifts skyward.

The guards shrug at Senshi's words. "I know, right? Have a nice day."
As Senshi turns his back to the cold storage unit, there's an awkward feeling in his head - as if he'd stumbled upon a crowd laughing at a joke where he was the punchline, but not knowing what the joke itself was, so he can't tell if he ought to be offended or laugh with them.
He gets distracted from any such thoughts by the hospital receptionist. "Good day. How can I help you, mister...?""It's the fate of all things under the sky,

Re: [BiTPR2] Renewed Revolution: Spirit World V
The receptionist gives Senshi a look. "Uh huh. Sounds like we really ought to get you checked up. The date is..."
Turns out it is late spring and Senshi was away for a week. He was listed as being "on vacation" and wasn't scheduled to return before tomorrow. In a brief medical check-up, it's revealed Senshi has a barely-healed cut across his arm and torso, bandaged with strange, elastic bounds. He also has a bruise on his side, making the nurse worry about broken ribs.
The wounds don't bleed or hurt anymore, but the nurse decides to use Kaido (Healing arts) on Senshi regardless. However, their Reiryoku is not great enough to restore Senshi's. They run out of energy before managing to mend Senshi's injuries.
That's odd. When did Senshi get this strong?
"Well, Hoshigaki-san. It looks like you've gotten yourself in a fight. Do you remember anything about who the assailant was?"
Well that's technically an easy question. Senshi's last clear memory before waking up in these strange clothes is saving that Plus in Rome from a Hollow. But he doesn't remember getting injured, nor does he remember which day of his vacation that fight happened. Was it the first? Or the last? That event is surrounded by static in his mind, as if it was the only stretch of land in his sight within a great snowstorm."It's the fate of all things under the sky,
to grow old and wither and die."

I'd love to tell you how, but I honestly can't remember anything else. I'd actually say the Hollow fight was the last thing I remember."

"That's worrying. Short-term memory loss usually indicates massive head trauma. I'll have to contact Seji-taichou on what procedures we should continue with", the nurse explains. "I suggest you stay in one of the hospital's rooms for now. I'll send a word to your superior officer, asking you be relieved of duty for time being."
The nurse starts filling and sending necessary forms to Seji, Masaru and X-ray department."It's the fate of all things under the sky,
