Homeless for now but that may change soon~

[fuyunomai]

[Have a haughty shinigami, Mun. She is not impressed by you. You have a long way to go before you earn her approval. :|]

You're a fool if you think I will go anywhere willingly, let alone be content to stay confined in this 'head space' of yours.

Comments

[sakurabito]

It is in the nature of mundane to be fools.

[fuyunomai]

[Her first reaction is 'Ah!! Nii-sama!!' but she is calm and collected, of course. She does actually mouth the word but stops herself, considering her words next. Considering what she knows is going on, thanks to her Mun blathering on about worrying for both their conditions for the last hour... He looks well enough to her.]

Do they always have the unfathomable urge to stretch themselves thin? This girl seems to.

[Her head space is crowded. She doesn't want to be in there with some of the noisier ones...]

[sakurabito]

[He rather appreciates her discretion. It's good to know she hasn't lost herself.]

It is a common flaw. My own is incapable of controlling himself.

[He knows this feeling very well.]

Eventually they break. Resist and you may yet escape humiliation.

[fuyunomai]

It is shameful, how easily they entrap others.

[Sooo, so shameful. She's seething about it internally, even though her Mun might send her to where her Nii-sama is. Stop bribing her with her Nii-sama and the promise of stuffed animals. Stop that, Mun!!

The question is, if he says to resist... how did he get ensnared himself?]

You aren't being disrespected at least, that is good.

[Because she'd have a few words with his mun if he was.]

[sakurabito]

[How about pictures of Renji in a bunny costume, Rukia? He was ensnared by dastardly promises. It was not at all what his mun said it would be.]

... you need not worry, Rukia.

[There is a great hope that she never finds out anything that has happened to him in that city.]

Concern yourself with your own predicament. That city is not a place you need to be.

[fuyunomai]

[That is a strong maybe! Stupid muns and their promises. She wasn't expecting anything good to come of it so she's wary and yet... here is her Nii-sama. Decisions...]

Ah, of course, Nii-sama. I know you're more than capable of handling such things!!

[/cue Nii-sama loving face and thoughts of how strong he is and how it is unthinkable that a person who might very well be like her Mundane was able to ensnare him so. She has faith that he's made due with his lot.]

What sort of place is it?

[sakurabito]

[Best little sister, ever.]

It is a dangerous, intrusive place.

[That frown is totally not concerned.]

It is not a place I would wish on you.

[Even if he wants to see her again.]

[fuyunomai]

[Isn't she just?]

Ah, intrusive? [That sounds pretty horrible. What sorts of things had been intruded on for him? She knows some things about his past but not a lot.]

As long as I might be of help to you, Nii-sama... maybe there might be a way to leave?

[Not that she wants him to go back home and end up beaten nearly to death by a stupid Quincy...]

[shiro_megane_kun]

You aren't going to go anywhere willingly, and you aren't going to stay, either.

What will happen to you might pose an interesting philosophical quandary, if those statements are true.

... Congratulations, Kuchiki-san. Or should I say Kuchiki-fukutaichou?

[He's from before when he saw you as lieutenant, Kuchiki. But Ukitake told him.]

[fuyunomai]

[Oh hey, a familiar face!]

Ah, I guess it doesn't matter either way. She's doing what she wants despite my protests. I guess for now inaction is the most I can hope for. Inoue is in her head space still at least. [Small comfort but still a comfort all the same. :|]

Oh! Thank you.

[A small smile for you, Ishida. Although she's glad he doesn't know that back home she's unconscious from injuries made by Quincies. She won't hold it against him.]

My Mun did explain to me time differences between us and I guess it's a good thing in a way that you're from before the incident with the Fullbringers. It's all boring to tell.

[I.e. She does not want to talk about how shameful it is she's been defeated - that any of them were defeated really - and especially not about her brother. :|]

[shiro_megane_kun]

It's a better place-- for both of you-- than where she was before, of that much I'm sure.

[NEWFANGLED WHIPPERSNAPPERS THE LOT OF THEM]

From what Inoue-san said, I was under a different impression. She seemed worried about injuries I had sustained. It's a relief to know everything works out in the end. [Not that he was really all that worried. How bad could these Fullbringers be after the Espada and Aizen?]

[fuyunomai]

For her, yes. [For Rukia? N o p e. Not a single stuffed bunny in the world could bribe her. But they're so cute...]

You all make it through with minimal injuries, I promise. There unfortunately will be worse things to come, as I'm sure your Mun might have made you aware.

[Did you SEE how your brethren thrashed them? HOW SHAMEFUL. They hurt her Nii-sama!! More shame on them!!]

[shiro_megane_kun]

While I can't imagine being trapped in headspace is pleasant, it's very much preferable to collars and curses, I assure you. Even for you.

... Yes. There has been some... [Taunting. Tormenting. Bullying.] communications to that effect.

Frankly, I could almost call it all nonsense, if it weren't for the fact that the author of our story is quite capable of such narrative madness.

[fuyunomai]

Ah yes, Inoue told me of that place.

[Thank god Mun isn't considering that one. N o p e. Too shameful to bear. She's amazed you've handled it this long, Ishida.]

It's shameful - what a mockery has been made of the Gotei 13.

[And she is forever going to stew in the anger of it and the relief that her Nii-sama is not dead.]

[shiro_megane_kun]

[All the mun's fault. He can't complain about the company, but... yeah. Let's just. Not talk about it.]

It's shameful what mockery he makes of us all.

At the very least, the name of Shinigami hasn't been profaned the way 'Quincy' now has.

...

They don't even use bows and arrows!

[fuyunomai]

[You poor boy...]

And they stole the techniques of several Captains as well as maimed our Commander!!

[FUMING. So much fuming!! Also sadness because so many lives were lost needlessly over a blood feud. At least Ishida didn't share their views. She considered him one of her precious nakama, like the others. It was painful to think about.]

[shiro_megane_kun]

It's ridiculous and under-handed, relying on the techniques of someone else! If they fight, they should at least pit their own skill against theirs of their opponent!

And for what?

They may call themselves Quincy, but they are not. Not the Quincy my sensei spoke of. The Quincy were always meant to destroy Hollows. They've lost sight of that. If the sensei's vision of Shinigami and Quincy working side by side for the greater good never comes to pass because of their actions... It will be unforgivable. [Bitter. So bitter.]

[fuyunomai]

I think we both agree the whole lot of them are disgusting. As for these Games... I'm not sure they're any better.

[Specifically the one you're in. Poor guy.]

Wow, my icons suck right now

[sucksatkidou]

Give 'er hell, Rukia. Make me proud!

pffft I didn't even keyword mine okay. I have them open on another tab.

[fuyunomai]

[Really, Renji? You know she will!!

Also she's having a 'wth' moment at seeing that he's not injured either. Hang on she'll catch up to this Mun magic eventually.]

Ah, Renji- [She wants to ask. Really wants to ask, but she knew better than to bring up such things as 'You're alright' with her brother and wouldn't do it with Renji either. He knows it goes without saying.]

She's trying to bribe me with the promise that you and Nii-sama would be present if I went to one of these 'Game' places. I won't be swayed no matter how many times she says it. She can't even decide for herself what to do!

[And she promised stuffed animals. It's definitely not the stuffed animals that's hooking her, damn it.]

oh, same

[sucksatkidou]

[But he's still gotta say it!]

Well, we are both there. In one piece. Each.

[Byakuya even has his arm back!

...Renji's not entirely sure how he lost it, but that doesn't matter now, obviously.]

An' I could prob'ly bribe ya real easy, but I dunno if I wanna be that cruel.

[fuyunomai]

Ah- I know. It's still strange to see, I'll admit, but I'm glad!

[Fff- Renji don't you dare bribe her. She will fight you.

Also she does not want to think about how her Nii-sama lost his arm. Shameful, cowardly, Quincy bastards!!]

You can't win me over that easily.

[NOT GOING TO LISTEN TO YOU.]

[hollowfied]

Eh, Rukia, it could be worse. At least this way you won't miss all the action.

[fuyunomai]

[Don't make her kick you >:( She's not happy about this.]

And you? Do you get to see 'all the action' then?

[Give her a reason why she should agree to go anywhere!]

[hollowfied]

[ buuut it's in his nature to deserve kicking. :( ]

Not anymore. I guess she thinks she has better things to do than boss me around now. [ tch ]

[fuyunomai]

[True. He often deserves it more than once in a day. Fool.]

I don't like it at all. It's shameful and undignified! To herd us around and send us to strange places when there are more important things we have to attend to!

[She was bribed with bunnies and Nii-sama. What could she do?]

[hollowfied]

[ poor ichigo, all his good icons were eaten... ]

Yeah, well, that stuff'll be there when you get back. Trust me. And sometimes you'll have friends there who could use your help too.

[fuyunomai]

[Good job, fool. I mean- she feels your pain. :(]

It's not an easy situation to just up and leave, back home but I will admit there are some valid reasons to get away even for a little while.

[Not to mention she's unconscious back there so... there's that. It is swaying things in favor of a game, though. Unconscious and her brother near death or not? She likes not. Darn Quincies coming in and nearly killing everyone over a feud!!]

[hollowfied]

[ yeah, he's definitely thinking about rukia's current situation back home and not opposed to her taking a break from it... ]

Do shinigami ever take vacations?

[fuyunomai]

[Yeah... they don't get medical leave either. Plus their dental plan is garbage.]

No! If I took a vacation you'd probably do something stupid without me looking!! I left you for 17 months only to come back and you were crying like a child!! It was shameful to watch!!

[Get it together!!]
