When he looks back, he closes his eyes, pulling his hat down. When he speaks next, his voice is very quiet and melancholic.

“…your friend, Ichigo. Miss Chizuru is undergoing Soul Suicide and I don’t know how to stop it. She doesn’t have much time left.”

Urahara grits his teeth and lowers himself into a deep bow, hat in hand, his voice filled with regret.

“There’s nothing more I can do. I’m sorry.”

You grab him by the collar, shaking him. “What the hell do you mean there’s nothing more that you can do?!”

He looks away. “Normally, when a soul is hollowifed, it and the hollow’s boundaries of the soul erode, along with the one of the soul itself and the outside world erode. The soul then, regardless of its own will, self-destructs.”

He pries your hands from his collar. “If it were merely hollowfication ,I could do something. This wouldn’t be a problem. However, the boundaries being eroded are between that of Miss Chizuru and the Hoguyoku itself.”

Putting on his hat, he looks away. “I don’t know what will happen, as the Hogyoku is beyond even my understanding now, a power completely unrelated to Reiatsu.”

Tessai gives a nod. “Yes, when I first saw it, I felt like its presence was trying to stifle my very existence.”

Urahara sits down, slamming a fist onto his table. “The fact of the matter is that she soul is being torn apart, as the Hogyoku is trying to restructure it. However… a soul can only withstand so much, Ichigo. If the process continues…

“It‘ll speed up as it restructures her soul, degrading her soul, causing it to restructure faster, causing a total degradation of the soul until Soul Suicide. ”

He trails on, looking miserable as Chizuru sits nearby, trying to hold back tears.

>You have control

>>26095635
Stare at him blankly for a moment
"...Nope."
Hands on Chizuru's shoulders, look her in the eyes, speak calmly.
"We're going to fix this. I don't care if he says he can't do anything, we're going to fix this, and don't you dare doubt that."
Turn to ladder, shout down to everyone.
"Team meeting, now!"
Turn back to Urahara.
"Is there a way I can pull Zangetsu out here? I need everyone who's had contact with that rock on deck, right now."

>>26095635
Its time for a spirit to spirit talk

>>26095635
(sit next to her hold her hand) "If you could get every one else up here I can explain it to them."
(tell, them what is going on, be there for her)

>>26095635
"Could we separate the two? The Hogyoku is supposedly responsive of the desires of those around it right? Or try to have it use its power to reinforce the boundaries?"

So, we know that...
Should we ask Orihime if she'd like to try and heal it?

>>26095675
this

>>26095635


"I refuse to accept that! You're a 100 year old mad scientist who was kicked out of Heaven, there aren't words left in this world for Impossible, Miracle, and no one should be able to say 'There is nothing I can do!' Get everyone...get everyone up here now, we're on a rushed time table as things stand now and find out if there is anything any of them can do about it. I'm going in,"

March over to Chizuru and lay my hands on her shoulders.

"You told me not to fall in love with the next person I met...I'm sorry Honsho...but that wasn't really something I could promise. Everyone. My family, my friends, my lovers...my heart is too big...and while I push people away, once someone occupies a space in my heart I will do whatever I can to carry them. No one is going to die because of me...and if there are sacrifices to be made, none are going to be made on my behalf. ZANGETSU!"

Punch self in face with blue glove, draw sword and place flat of blade against the stone in her chest.

"I'm not asking. I'm telling. We're going in there. I will abandon no one, and I NEED your wisdom...everything you know about me and the past that I don't...I'm not forcing you to tell me, but you are using it. Right now you have the power to keep it from raining...if we fail...it will rain for a long time, old man. We are going to hold her soul together"

Initiate Sword-Ception, failure to launch is (NOT) an option.

OOC: Aside from this, here are what I think are our only other recourses. Aizen offering to save her (which we cannot trust), Neliel's Super Negaccion cube to lock this shit in stasis so we can save her later, the grand wizard in a shop apron to use his FORBIDDEN TIME MAGICS to stall the process to also buy us time like Neliel, or for Orihime to figure out she can REJECT THE FUCK out of this situation.

>>26095635
Lets have Orihimer try to heal it and failing that myself and some of the arrancars can soulception to try and stabalize it.

>>26095675
while we're waiting, try to will the boundaries back together

>>26095710
no

>>26095635
"What about introducing something else for the Hogyoku to latch on to, such as Shinigami or Quincy essences?
"Couldn't they be used to stabilize the situation?"

>>26095635
Bring Chizuru into our head world like we did with Momo. It's the only option we have.

I fell asleep before the thread finished last night, sorry.
...but then I read the archives.
Fucking a, Cosgrove.
We can't fucking catch a break, here.
At all.

>>26095710
This except Urahara is a /scientist/, they can't continuously create miracles. From what we know he has no reason to lie. Getting Zangetsu is probably the best possibility.

Threadly reminder that the Ebook can be found at http://pastebin.com/kbGzcbDb
Ebook will be updated on Sunday.

>>26095765
>>26095791
So we do what we did with Momo? I'm in.

>>26095789
Where is our fucking hat? Other than that, which is infinitely important, good job.

Options to try, in order:
Orihime
Swordception
Hyoku
stasis.

>>26095824
We haven't heard Aizen's speech on how Orihime is a walking retcon machine yet, so she's out.

>>26095807
Just hope Zangetsu has some Quincy hax we can use to take/destroy the Hogyoku

>>26095675
>>26095710
I just want to say, these sound whiny as fuck.

>>26095835
No but we have no idea what her ability is at all.

>>26095835
That doesnt mean we cant try baka~

>>26095835
This.

>>26095824
>>26095807
>>26095791
Pull Zangetsu out and have a group meeting first before attempting swordception. We need to discuss our options, and he's the one who best understands our capabilities.

>>26095821
shit, you're right.
I'll fix that.
My bad.

I'm down for swordception or "healing" if we know the extent to which Hime can heal.

>>26095843

Start shouting, end resolved.

>>26095856
We don't really need to know. We tell her to try as hard as she goddamned can, and bounce around the idea of using the wishing rock to supercharge her healing abilities, using ourself or Starrk as batteries if necessary. (though keep in mind, this is Ichigo asking if battery and super-rock is a possibility, I'm pretty sure it isn't from a meta perspective)

>>26095856
You actually forgot? I thought you just weren't drawing it yet and I was trying to be sarcastic, whatever.

Are you going to color it?

>>26095824
Consult Zangetsu. If he has no way to help, the do these.

>>26095856
all we know is that she can, but she'd hate us if we didn't give her the chance to at least try

This is all we know of Oriheme's healing, from the 25th thread:

>She gives you a grin before you turn to Orihime, who smiles. “You saw a bit of it, but I have an offensive attack, a defensive barrier and the ability to recover damage to people. Well, that’s all I figured out with it for now. We’ve been training with Yoruichi for the past week though, who’s been making us work hard.

So no one wants to ask Orihime if she can fix this, then?

>>26095910
Limited knowledge doesn't mean that Ichigo would't ask her to try.

I'm honestly stunned people are complaining about meta gaming now of all times. I thought it was a quest tradition.

>>26095899
>"Orihime do it!"
>"I-I don't think I can"
>"Go go go"
>Rejection of /only/ Chizuru because Orihime has barely any experience.
Yeah, no.

>>26095923
Plenty of people do.

>>26095910
Well clearly the option's there to have her heal Chizuru's soul.

Her healing and the Hogyoku's ability to respond to desire (In this case using Chizuru's desire to be...healed by Orihime amplifying the effect) should do something.

>>26095923
Yeah, we do. Hence the team meeting. We ask her to try healing Chizuru, we ask Zangetsu if swordception is even possible in this instance, we chat with the Arrancar and Zangetsu about the Hogyouku. We ask Ishida if there's anything to be done from a Quincy standpoint. We get options first, THEN we decide on a course of action.

>>26095855
>Pull Zangetsu out and have a group meeting
How exactly is that going to work?
Without Muramasa, how are you going to separate the sword spirit from the sword, and us?

>>26095931
Why not ask Chad to punch the Hogyoku out then?

>>26095931
I'm not saying not to try, just letting everyone know what we know IC about her powers because a few people asked.

Hime probably could try to help Chizuru, but I am not going to be surprised if the Ball of Plot just lolnopes her power to reject.

And yeah, that idea about power transfer might be something, too.

>>26095923
she's option 1, I think. Then Swordception. Then whatever other people think we can do. Then a heart to heart with the Hogyoku

>>26095910
>>26095931
Well, yeah, healing isn't exactly useless in this situation. If we do it, she could end up destroying the Hoguyoku, which would completely destroy Aizen's plan.

>>26095987
Shouldn't our wish to keep Chizuru alive help here?
Plotrock, if it doesn't do something, will end up killing her.

>>26095978

Have you read the thread, we've achieved combat Jinzen, and Zangetsu has manifested before us in the real world, one to spook us off truth breadcrumbs, the other time to haul Momo into the city

>>26095980
Ichigo knows Orihime is a healer. It's not unreasonable to ask if she can do anything.

Asking a fighter to heal someone by punching them isn't reasonable in the slightest.

>>26095990
He already has a Hogyoku and is the second most intelligent person in Bleach and you think that would completely destroy his plans?

>>26095973
>we chat with the Arrancar and Zangetsu about the Hogyouku
I agree with everything except this; what are the Arrancar going to know about a thing that no one except maybe a handful of shinigami and the two creators of it know about?

>>26095978
From the wiki:
>To achieve Bankai, one must be able to materialize and subjugate their Zanpakutō spirit. Materialization means the opposite of getting dragged into the Zanpakutō's inner world: the wielder needs to summon the Zanpakutō's spirit into the physical world.

It IS possible without Muramasa.
We chat with Urahara to see if we can do it ourselves. If Zangetsu is feeling shy, we ask Urahara if he has something that can force the issue.

>>26096025
>already had a hoguyoku
One that was about half as powerful as Urahara's. He needed Urahara's to complete his own.
>second most intelligent person in bleach
Someone hasn't been reading these threads.

>>26096033
Harribel and the Tres used Chizuru, the Hogyouku and Ichigo to transform into Arrancar. We're not asking about the mechanics of the rock, we're getting everyone's point of view on the experience of using it.

>>26095990
But right now we're embroiled in Urahara's plot to see how we saved Momo. He just had to jiggle the hougyoko a bit to get us to give results.

>>26096025

>You are a poor scientist, Captain Aizen. Your ethics are questionable, your methods are manipulative. You have no place in this Gotei, nor any place in this Sereitei.

>>26095990
If it does...Starrk wouldn't have to sit on his ass trying to defend others, would he?

>>26096025
Mayuri and Urahara are both smarter than him.

>>26096024
Urahara can heal too, why not ask him-oh wait.
You can't heal Soul Suicide and we don't know about Rejection which shouldn't work since the Hogyoku potential is higher than Aizen who could not be rejected.

>So, current situation is 'Gather a team meeting, ask orihime to try to heal, and then try to dive into her soul to sort the problem out yourself if that fails?

>>26095635
>"How long does she have?"
in before 3 days

>>26096109
Ichigo is clearly desperately looking for some way to heal her; Urahara should just let him do so, in order to let him calm down.

If that doesn't work out, just stab Chizuru.

>>26096148
Yes, yes, and yes.

>>26096148
Yup.

>>26096148
depending on group plans, the second one might not happen

>>26096148
Yep.

>>26096148
Yes. Though I would like Ichigo to ask Urahara if materialization of a Zanpakuto spirit is on the table. Zangetsu's just as much a part of the team as everyone else.

>>26096157
Have we actually tried yanking it out yet?
Just get a scalpel (zangetsu), cut it out and heal her flesh back.

>>26096197
no, but we have been told that it reacts violently to threats

>>26096197
We deduced a while ago that that's a very bad idea.

>>26096179
Wait, when we eventually stab the Bankai Doll, will it be white Zangetsu or OMZ who manifests? Because if our Bankai is white Bankai, then SQUEEEEWS

>>26095904
I can't into color on paper. Too many chances to make irreversible mistakes.

I could try, but there'd be no point since most of it is white and black anyway.

Bel was the most fun to draw, next to Tatsuki.

I like your style.

So, cranking 2nd season opener now on my phone. Lets do this thing.

>>26096148
Yes.

>>26096255
>not 3rd season opener
That intro, and Ichigo's face fading into the hollow are awesome.

The first thing we need to do here people is ask how much time he thinks she has left.

The second thing is if he can think of any incredibly stupid and dangerous theories that might help.

We still need to save Momo's life, and I can't help but feel like we're being forced into a no-whine binary "one lives, the other dies" choice here; but we need the facts before we take action.

>>26096278
I'm not watching it, I'm listening to the song. I don't have the next one on my phone, and it is rather baller in the start.

>>26096148
Can we ask him how long she has as part of that?

>>26096278
Still my favourite opener. No contest.

I'm watching episode 214 right now. I think it holds the key to saving her.

Ritually sacrifice the bunny Arrancar?

>>26096358
After Dark is a close second, however.

>>26096346
I'd have to REALLY clean up the original before I could do tthat, but it could be done.

Our options seem to be sword ception with a god somehow.

Hope Hime realizes her true potential.

Make her a substitute Shinigami and hope that helps.

The last idea will completely drain us of ALL our powers and quite possibly our spiritual awareness and it's not guaranteed to work. This will result in both Momos death and Chizurus.

>>26096417

She has the Plot Rock embedded in her.
You know full well we'll Rukia ourselves.

>>26096473
true, but that rock makes her anything but normal. we could lose all our powers, or get them supercharged. we have no idea

>gather the team
>have orihime try to heal

“How long does she have?”

Urahara looks down at a piece of paper in his hand, crumpling it. “I’m not sure. It could be two horus from now, it could be two months from now. But… it will happen.”

You grit your teeth. “Gather everyone up Urahara. We’re going to find a way to save her.”

Urahara shakes his head at you, moving to put a hand on your shoulder. “Ichigo, you can’t just-”

He stops as you glare at him. “Watch me.”

Urahara frowns before reluctantly nodding as you go over and sit next to Chizuru, holding her hand tightly. “We’ll save you. I promise.”

She glances over at you, weakly squeezing your hand.

After about ten minutes, all of your friends have gathered in Urahara’s shop, looks of sadness and horror over their faces at the news, Chiruru sitting in the middle of the room. You turn to Orihime.

“Orihime, you had some sort of healing ability, right? Maybe it’ll work?”

Orihime gives you a sad smile, hugging you lightly, tears in her eyes. “…I’ll try Ichigo. I’ll try.”

You close you eyes and open them, giving her a determined look. "I believe in you, Orihime."

She closes her eyes. “Soten Kisshun! I Reject!”

>>26096611
We're off to a hell of a start, to be fair - a 98!
Has to be worth something.
At the very least, I expect Orihime to finally notice what her power is all about.

And then, of course, she'll be drafted into super-intense-training, featuring Harribel, Starrk and Ichigo.

Lets get some atmospheric music in here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4EqF9GfUKg
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpWclabjS7c

>>26096637
The plotrock should still be working to fulfill the wish, which means the main priority should be to keep Chizuru alive.
Which should mean that, after this awesome roll, it should be all about helping Orihime with what she wants.

>>26096623
This could very easily be a degrees of success mechanic, and that the higher the differential between us and the TN generated by the plot rock, the better the result is. Worst case is a 21 point difference under those circumstances.

>>26096654
Well, we also know from Chizuru that it desires a host, and if the only way to save Chizuru is to deny it it's host, who knows how it'll react. We aren't sure what degree of will it possesses.

>>26096522
Gale, you need to draw stuff before you roll from now.
Like, seriously, draw Starrk and Lilynette sitting and eating ice cream in the middle of the group, smiling for having friends.
It seems the dice gods approve of fanart, so if we can just keep this going we might come out ok.

>>26096654
I think it's the Hoguyoku resisting the rejection, and the other roll is the Hoguyoku trying to grant her wish. So either way, the Hoguyoku is getting fucked up.

>>26096671
Maybe Orihime will just reject Chizuru's ability to be infected by this?
With a 98, this seems more than plausible, especially if plotrock gets in on it.

>>26096644
Dammit why does Bleach have such good music?

>>26096676
We must still our mass guessing and trust in the Kubo that is Cosgrove

>>26096673
I'm attributing that success to the Blue Lantern corps and their fucking adorable mascot.
He told me it would be alright, and lo, a 98.

But the fanart may have helped.

>>26096676
By the end of this we might end by with a Chizuru shaped Hoguyoku

>>26096702
All will be well.

>>26096702
The DCnu would be better with Hope Corgi

>>26096693
>Maybe Orihime will just reject Chizuru's ability to be infected by this?

If Orihime jumps straight past rejecting events to rejecting the concept of an event happening, I don't even know what I'll do.

I know we said that the description should be "the heart" but I think that "I reject" might be more appropriate.

>>26096702
I mostly just want adorable Starrk and Lilynette pictures, after how we befriended them before; they've jumped on the Ichigo Friendship express, and there's no way to ever get off...once you've accepted Ichigo's hand and hugged him, you're friends forever

>>26096736
No. Too much of a spoiler.

This is starting to seem Nasu or Jojo- "rejecting the concept of the past," "rejecting the events of the past," it all seems very Kara No Kyoukai.

>>26096696

Orihime’s hairclips burst into golden light as two of the fragments form a golden barrier surrounding Chizuru. Chizuru clenches her fists, holding her breath.

As the golden light envelops her, her body markings seem to recede. As it looks like it’s working, the orb begins glowing purple, and the markings return full force. Chizuru screams as a pressure starts to settle on the room.

The air begins to shake as the Hogyoku begins to activate, but Orihime refuses to back down. Its indigo, malevolent power against her strange, golden healing.

It seems like a deadlock, but with this grid locked tug-of-war…

How long can Chiruru withstand it?

>you have control

>>26096802
What did we do with that memory card? Holy shit Kai had it in his pocket when we left for a week.

>>26096760
And here I was thinking of The Blue.

>>26096761
Well he's our buddy as well; but Starrk and Lilynette have suffered far worse isolation.
They couldn't even walk around others, because everyone dies when they get close.
This is why i'm happy my suggestion in the previous thread to offer our hand to pull him up was accepted

>>26096741
What if I told you that...I was going to draw Starrk lying down below everyone else in the outfit picture, with Lily sitting on top of him, but I fell asleep before I could.

Now, though, I want to draw one of those happy freeze-frames that are used in flashbacks with Lilynette and Starrk sitting on a bench, eating ice cream, with Lilynette laughing and Starrk just giving the viewer a smile.

>>26096810
"I believe in you! Both of You!"

>>26096810
USE SWORD-CEPTION NOW

>>26096810
"Keep it up Orihime, I'm going to try and give her a hand"
Swordception

>>26096760
inb4 we get MEoDP as part of a Quincy final form and our FGT is now Ea's Enuma Elish with it's full power.

>>26096810
>Walk up behind Hime and touch her shoulder
>Look at Chizuru

>>26096761
He's as friendly as Ishida can get. We're super Quincy bros.

>>26096810
"CMON CHIZURU FIGHT IT!"

>>26096810
...So, uh, guess our 98 didn't go up against its 75?

>>26096810
Use our reistu to help shield Chizuru

>>26096810
ITS TIME FOR SWORDCEPTION

>>26096825
>Starrk not having fallen asleep, smashing the icecream onto his face with his head resting on the cone

>>26096826
>>26096831
THIS! The Hogyoku has a will of it's own, and with it fighting Hime and Chiziru, we can probably sneak in and clobber it in the back of the head.

IT'S TIME TO BECOME LEONARDO DICE-SAVE-OUR-BRO

>>26096825
Do it, man!
We need some happiness here

>>26096835
I sort of want to do this...

>>26096806
No, canon Ishida is the princess in the tower.

>>26096810
Lets keep it up a little more then check to see if we made things worse, with a swordception Dear god we are going to penetrate the lesbian.

>>26096884
its payback for the tonguing. now we put our sword in her

>>26096803
I don't wanna sound like a pushy fag, but watch it. It's depressing, confusing, stupid, and amazing, and the Rebuild movies are fucking awesome.
And the soundtrack is absolutely perfect.
"In my spirit".
Just...
"In my spirit."

>>26096810
Fuckfuckfuckfuck
I have no idea what to do
Hope Corgi, help us!

>>26096810
Lets get in there and hold her together! ZANGETSU SWORDCEPTION

>>26096810
"Chizuru! It needs you alive! Make it SEE that. Make it help undo the damage!"

>>26096810
LETS USE THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP!

>>26096911
This.

>>26096906
I'll never forget about love and pride and how it all keeps tumbling down.

So what was the 46 for?

>>26096911
I like this idea.

Are you guys sure dragging Chizuru into swordception will work and not make the situation worse?
I mean, all of that extra stress on her soul can't be good.

>>26096911
YES
It's sentient, so it needs to learn that what it's doing is wrong, or it won't have a host anymore!

>>26096911
Also: "I need you alive. WE need you alive! Don't give up, don't EVER give up!"
Give her support, a reason to keep fighting through the pain.

>>26096943
It's stress on our soul, not hers. And even if it isn't, that's why Orihime is there.

Do you have a ball? If you have a ball then we can play with ball. If you do not we can still play. I love you!

You know what would be funny?
If Ichigo decided to learn Kido, purely in the belief that he could do something like this.

(I just want a reason to buy Kido, come on guys, it's cheap for what we get)

>>26096943
she's dying anyway, there's no real way this can get worse

>>26096911
Its trying to undo the damage by reconstructing her shreaded soul, but in order to do this it needs to rip apart more of her. hence the vicious cycle of soul suicide.

>>26096911
This combined with sword-ception.

>>26096941
I think it was Chizuru (46) vs PlotRock (75) with Orihime (98) healing Chizuru

>>26096943
we've changed objectives. Now we're trying to reason with it to help keep her alive as long as possible.

It can't have a functioning host if it just does whatever it wants.

>>26096953

Huh, supporting, to be said inside her or our here as votes fall

>>26096911
>>26096953
Yes. Both of these.

>>26096978
So basically we had 2 points of failure...
Damn, that's rough.

Well, uh, do we want to try soulception?

>>26096983
If nothing else, maybe we can hold her soul together while the Hogyoku finishes restructuring it.

>>26097008
Invading peoples souls to rebuild them seems to be our trump card.

>>26097008
no, Orihime did well. The Plot Rock just overpowered Chizuru

>So, the plan. Is it to try to cheer on Chizuru or is it to try to 'swordception' her or do that if cheering doesn't help?

>>26096960
Fuck, I'm actually tearing up, fuck you

>>26097040
Yeah, but that still means bad stuff is happening.
And if Orihime had failed, then this would've likely gone worse as well.
Hence, 2 points of failure.

>>26097063
swordception if the cheering doesn't help

>>26097063
Swordception if cheering does not help

>>26097063
Not cheer her on so much as get her to convince plotrock that it needs her alive, I think.

But mostly the first one, with Swordception as a last resort.

>>26097063
This:
>>26097071

>>26097063
Cheering then penetration and cheering

>>26097063
Cheer her on, then do Swordception

>>26097063
Its both cheering her on and trying to get the Hyogu to respond to the wishes of those around and to realize what it is doing.

So with the swordception are we bascally telling the plot rock to stop helping.

>>26097063
Everyone cheer while we swordception to back he up from the inside and/or suffer together.

Rolled 67, 60, 26 = 153

...

Your hopes and prayers, huh?

Let's see how much they're worth...

>>26097063
Encourage Hime and Chizuru, then swordception.

>>26097063
Cheer her on then swordception to convince plot rock that it needs her alive.

>>26097103
We're helping Chizuru gain control of the plot rock.

>>26097110
we do good? I want to believe the last one is the rock

>>26097063
Offer words of encouragement to BOTH of them; attempt swordception if things remain neutral or get worse.

What's the worst that could happen right?

>>26097139
Last time >>26096584 it was.

So...do we get a 'reset' if this goes to hell, or what?

>>26097123
Metaphorically Chizuru is still driving the car there's just no brakes and their going down a steep mountain road.

>>26097110
Lets see
OMZ
Hichigo
Us

>>26097163
So we need to pull a Mcgyver and force the car to stop.

>>26097162
I doubt theres a reset button, but this may be the first deal we take if we fail

>>26097162
If this goes tits up; getting a reset will be the best case scenario for us.
Momo on the other hand... well I've got a bad feeling.

>>26097183
Just, there was talk about Taiga dojo or something, from a previous thread?

>>26097183
so long Momo, we hardly knew thee
SOMEONE'S going to die...

>>26097170
Doubt it; every other time, we've gotten to roll for ourselves, unless I've missed something huge.

>>26097178
Thats what it looks like to me. Or figure a way too Chizuru out of that car before it crashes and maybe into a new one.

>>26097193
That was by one of us, because Cosgrove miscounted the votes.

>>26097197
yes, and that someone will be Renji

>>26097226
I have no problem with this.

>>26097226
NOTHING OF VALUE WAS LOST

>>26097226
Or Rukia, Urahara, Starrk or hell even us.

>>26097209
The car is her soul.
Chizuru is both the driver AND the car.

Only open this link when things go wrong.

Goddammit I'm going crazy worrying about the stuff Cosgrove rolled.

>>26097272
JUST AS KEIKAKU

>>26097255
No, Chizuru's soul is the car, her mind is the passenger, and the Hoguyoku is the driver. We need to get her into the driver's seat, but before we can do that, we need to force it to stop driving towards the ledge that is soul suicide.

>>26097255
Yeah I was thinking maybe we could find a way to preserve Chizuru's personality and then but that into a mod soul.

Urahara would be suitably dramatic. He is our Mentor after all.

>67v60

Orihime’s light begins to flicker as she struggles to hold on. Sweat gathers on her brow as the seeming malevolence of the Hogyoku gains strength.

"Chizuru! It needs you alive! Make it SEE that. Make it help undo the damage!"

Chizuru screams as she tries to suppress the Hogyoku. “I’m trying! IT WON’T LISTEN! There’s too many wishes, it’s trying to block me out!”

The edges of Chizuru’s shirt start fraying as her glasses crack. She bends over, coughing up blood.

“…run. All of you…run….”

You stare down at Chizuru’s hunched over form, struggling to survive, your hands clenched.

You’re…

Probably the same person who voted on his own suggestion.

Tell everyone else to get away, except us, Orihime and Urahara

It's reacting to everyone elses souls and will quiet down if there are less of them

>>26097403
EVERYONE is getting ice cream after this.
Because oh boy do we need it.

>>26097420
Who?

>>26097436
The guy(s) who rolled 1d100 for some reason.

After this is over, Orihime will be training her newfound ability to tell reality to sit down and shut up.
Because confident Orihime, not-hypnotized Starrk, Ichigo and Harribel means that Aizen can go fuck himself.

It might seem like a foolproof plan that spins out of control and ends up killing a different friend then the one we thought would die.

Bleach Quest - we've gone massively off the rails.
Ichigo has accessed Hollow and Quincy powers, has made Orihime more confident, Ishida is now his friend, we've recruited several Arrancar (including Harribel and Starrk).
Chizuru is also our bro, and she's getting her soul torn to pieces by an immensely powerful spiritual artifact.
