Why is it that whenever I'm talking to you here, it's to complain? Last time it was because you wanted to turn me into some kind of weird shark monster, and now I have to play some "Game" where people fight to get their lives back?

You do realize how stupid that sounds, right? How the hell do you bring a person back to life without anyone noticing? What about their parents? Their friends? How the hell do you explain that to them! "Oh, by the way, I'm back from the dead, sorry about that!"

The dead are dead. They need to move on to the next plane. You know as well as I do that spirits lingering around the world of the living is a bad idea. But this whole "Erasure" thing? What does that even mean? Because if it means destroying the soul completely, I'm not drinking that Kool-aid. Cool wings or not.

When I signed up for this Reaper gig, I thought it was because I was going to help souls to the other side. Not... blow them up, or whatever.

Geez.

Bitch bitch bitch.

Stop whining, at least you're getting out, Kurosaki.

[tamedhollow]

Damn right, bitch bitch bitch, I--

...

[narrows eyes at]

.... Grimm....jow?

[resurgir]

No. [ Gives him a toothy smile. ] Maybe.

Anybody tell you that you got something on your face?

[tamedhollow]

[Sorry, buddy, but have a Hollow kid all up in your face. And sniffing your hair. He's too curious now. But he quickly backs off and gives a little sneer]

You sure smell like him. [something was off, though...] Speaking of people who are supposed to be dead. [EYEROLL] What, the stripes? Yeah I haven't heard that one before. Like, ever.

[resurgir]

[ Wat. Personal space; somebody's getting a shove. ] Didn't mean the stripes. [ Points between his eyes. ] Meant the stupid. You should get that checked out.

[ Then his hands are summarily shoved in his pockets. ] The dead part happened, I guess. S'over with. [ Frowns at him. ] You're the one's supposed to be alive, but ya don't look it.

[tamedhollow]

[Shoved or not, he doesn't care. A little scent gives him a lot of information these days] Well excuse me for being confused! You... aren't the same as before. Missing the whole... [he points to his cheek where Grimmjow's mask fragment used to sit] that.

So you're reincarnated? [a pause, then a thoughtful headscratch] ... Uh, well. I am. Still. Kind of. Technically. My body is alive, but in storage.

[resurgir]

[ If he gets up in his grill any more he is getting a punch in the mouth. ] Give the idiot a prize for figuring out at least that much.

[ After a noticeable pause, he adds with a gruff awkwardness, as if daring him to argue: ] Name's Shou.

[ And Shou is going to scowl and poke him in the chest. ] So what the hell's this? Fake?

[tabira_yuki]

At least you will not have to live in a tank this time?

[tamedhollow]

... That is a plus. At least that other thing never actually happened. And I get these wings. I'm supposed to be able to fly with them, but... well... Look at 'em! They're like sticks. They're not even three dimensional!

[tabira_yuki]

You're from a world where zanpakutou have physical bodies and personalities, women can walk through walls, and souls eat other souls and you're worried about the physicalities of flight?

[tamedhollow]

... Goddamn. [arm fold] Do you always have to sound so condescending when you talk to me, Shirayuki-san?

[tabira_yuki]

How, exactly, would you prefer I speak to you, if not properly?

[tamedhollow]

Well! Not like I'm an idiot, for one. It's not just you being "proper", you're talking down to me. I don't like it.

[nameless_hollow]

Well, ya can always eat 'em...

[tamedhollow]

I'm not gonna eat them. Ever. Period. Don't even suggest it!! I can eat those little Noise things, but not Players.

[nameless_hollow]

Don't be such a bitch! Ya rather have them poor powerless souls suffer?

[tamedhollow]

I'd rather them go where they belong! Which isn't in me.

[as horribly tasty as they look DAMMIT]

[nameless_hollow]

Che, like ya said... they're dead. My Mun woman is familiar with that universe. They got no where to go after that. What do ya think happens to all the others that don't win that stupid Game, hmm~?

[tamedhollow]

... What do you mean, they don't have anywhere to go? There's no afterlife?

[wai_hollow_thar]

... ...?

Ain'tcha a reaper already?

[tamedhollow]

Different kind of Reaper. ... Apparently.

In this world, people play games for their souls.

[wai_hollow_thar]

Games are fun! That don't sound too bad.

[tamedhollow]

[oh right, this is the stupid Hollow!Him]

No! Well... yeah, but not when it's for their lives. Those are pretty high stakes, man.

[wai_hollow_thar]

Well then they just suck at games. They gotta try harder before somethin' tries to fuckin' eat them.

[tamedhollow]

[facepalm]

... Apparently this game is their last chance, though. If they lose, they just... disappear. There's no soul recycling in that world.
