Of all the games out there you could possibly be considering, you have to focus on the one that turns everyone completely human?

I understand that after a month there's the questionable 'perk' becoming some sort of cannibalistic soul-eating monster, which certainly sounds incredibly familiar doesn't it, but that means spending weeks as a fragile, helpless mortal. While, I'll remind you, surrounded by no less than sixty of those aforementioned cannibalistic monsters. I won't even be allowed the presence of my zanpakuto.

Can we maybe consider going somewhere else?

directly after getting eaten by a soul eating god lets go talk to the reaper

[shiningheart]

It could be worse.

Seems logical!!

[defyingreason]

That's true, the stipulations could be 'permanently human'.

lewis never had good self preservation instincts

[shiningheart]

Or dead.

I think I'd take being a fragile, helpless human.

[defyingreason]

'Dead' would not work very well for staying long at this 'game', I suppose. The choice between death and being human is ... considerably more difficult.

[shiningheart]

I'd still take being human in any case. It's a lot more fun than being a ghost.

[defyingreason]

Have you ever been a ghost?

[shiningheart]

[He is a glowing pink skeleton]

... I think I died a little over two years ago. I'd be twenty four a few days ago.

[defyingreason]

[Skeletons are not ghosts in Aizen's book! Spirits were intangible, bones aren't!]

Unfortunate. There's no better afterlife waiting?

[shiningheart]

[Oh he could go intangible. But he likes being solid]

I... I need to find someone first. I'm waiting for someone to come back.

[defyingreason]

Don't linger too long, it can have unpleasant side effects for you after a while. Who are you waiting for?

[shiningheart]

It's not worth leaving without her. What's the point of crossing over alone?

Vivi. I'm waiting for Vivi. I need to give her something before I go.

[defyingreason]

Leave it somewhere she'll find it, and wait for her on the other side. If you have time to prepare, by the time she arrives you'll have everything ready, won't you?

[It's ... a lot friendlier than he usually bothers with but he does have an image to maintain.]

[shiningheart]

[Keep lying, at least for his sake. While he certainly doesn't stand a chance against another God, it's never pretty when Lewis loses control.

And your ears will hurt]

What if she never comes back to get it?

[defyingreason]

Do you know where she is now, or is that part of the problem?

[shiningheart]

No. I... scared her away last time.

[defyingreason]

If you know the area she was last time, she might still be in the vicinity. Humans tend to not move far very often. If there was a place she loved to visit, then she might still be able to be found there.

[shiningheart]

She doesn't like to visit. I had to disguise it so she'd come back.

I died there.

[defyingreason]

Then that wouldn't be a place she loves to visit, would it? There's probably other places. How well did you know her, before you died?

[shiningheart]

I can't leave it. If I try... I can't even try. I don't remember what happened the last time I tried to walk out the door, I just remember waking up in my coffin and... hurting a lot.

I just tried to make it a place she'd like.

[defyingreason]

You're probably still chained there. Trying to leave could be ... considerably unpleasant. I suppose in that situation you're best off hoping someone comes along who can take what you want to give her, and go looking for her for you.

[Which he isn't volunteering for, he has reality to conquer.]

[shiningheart]

[worst shinigami ever he's taking this to yelp]

Would anyone?

[defyingreason]

[at least he's faking compassion instead of pointing and laughing]

Surely someone would. Spirit mediums, the shinigami assigned to your area.. there's always options, even if they're a bit hard to see sometimes.

[shiningheart]

[You're still getting one star if he ever finds out your job]

... I guess all I can do is wait then.

[defyingreason]

But not too long, I hope. Even if you can't wait for her here, you can always wait for her off the mortal plane. Even if she doesn't return to the place you can't leave, she can't escape inevitability. It's safer to be patient there, as well.

[shiningheart]

... But what if she gets hurt like I did?
