Morning training. A wonderful thing I've got to admit. There's nothing quite like that satisfaction of finishing your daily exercises in the chill of the morning, sweat covering your brow as every muscle in your body burns. And its even better when said training is a spar.

I smirk as I continue my assault on Tora, her one eye staring at me as she blocks every strike I throw at her. I'm fighting like a butcher, trying to tire her out, and hopefully throw her off when I stop messing around with her.

She sweeps and I flip Ryūketsu no kōtei around and catch her Zanpakuto, running mine up to its hilt in a shower of sparks. Her hair blows from the speed of my swing. I grin, licking sweat from my lips as she smiles back at me, pressing against me as she tries to force her blade over the guard less hilt of mine.

"Being serious now?" She asks bluntly as I step towards her

"Oh, you'd know if I was being serious" I say flatly, trying to focus on stopping her from breaking out of this blade lock "Kotei's getting hungry sure, but we haven't even sliced each other yet, this is just a bit of flirting before the real deal, Tora"

"Oh, I was getting worried you got fat under the Kuchiki's" She says running her blade up, trying to cut into me as she frees her Zanpakuto's from Mine's kiss "Good, now I can stop holding back"

I laugh, my body turning to smoke as the tip of her slightly more curved blade reaches my chin. I step back and reform, running out of the smoke as she raises her blade to block. Right into the rising swing I was aiming at her sword arm's shoulder. I look up at her, chuckling as she looks down at me calmly and almost blankly

This is great, its been so long since I've been able to spar with a friend of mine. Who isn't also my student. And I just remembered another benefit of morning training. It calms the heart, and gets rid of all that pent up energy. Now this doesn't do much for me but.

I pull my Zanpakuto back , blocking Tora's attempted stab with their sheath. But it'll at least keep Aya from getting into trouble again

She raises her hand up in a very familiar way, as I struggle to keep her blade in place.

Ryūketsu no kōtei's sheath is touching her soon to be lighting coated blade. It is much a part of me as the hand gripping it. I can't let it go, or she'll push forward and throw me off balance if she doesn't just impale me. If I attempt to force her weapon away, the spell with start and shock me, allowing her a free hit or more.

She knows this, I can tell because this is the first time I've seen anything amounting to pride and confidence in the quite girl's single eye. She's got me trapped like a rabbit in a cage, a rat cornered by a cat.

Or so she thinks. This Kido spell is easily countered by my unique abilities.

I step back, smoke pouring from my wrists, coating my Zanpakuto as the glint of a spark lights up my vision. I swing, watching my ghostly blade slip through her arms and zanpakuto.

She steps back, and I nick her stomach as the smoke fades away, cutting her kimono in a straight line as she swings her own Zanpakuto into mine.

My mind goes white, my muscles freeze and lock up as I hear Tora's quite voice says

"Hmm, So they weren't lying about that then?" She says softly "That's a useful trick isn't it?"


I grip the red cloth wrapping my zanpakuto, and with the little sense I have, force my own stream of screaming lighting at her.

Tora stops in her track, frozen as I am by pain brought by the lighting running through our veins.

I grit my teeth, biting down on my tongue hard enough to taste blood, feeling it boil on my tongue from the lighting forcing its way through my body in a steady stream. My hair stands up on end, every thought I have running out of my grasp, chased away by pain and washed away.

All I can feel is blankness, as empty as a fresh page. An undisturbed lake. Then a single, simple splash breaks it.

I need to overpower her, and force her away, just so I can think and breath freely.

I stare at her, standing back up as I try to increase the potency of my own Tsuzuri Raiden.

Her eye narrows, her own hair standing up on end as lighting runs over her face.

Her mouth move, and I don't hear a things she's saying, but in the moments before she wipes my mind clean of thoughts again, I manage to read on word from her lips

"AWAKEN!"

I blink, and suddenly get slammed in the chest by a solid steel pole. I gasp and fall on my back, seeing the glint of metal in the air as she twirls her Zanpakuto around.

A naginata?

I can think now, my body still stings from that idiotic attempt.

I begin to stand, and feel the rush of air by my head as she plants her zanpakuto's blade on my shoulder.

Her single eye looks down at me sternly, silently demanding my surrender

What do I do?
[]concede and congratulate her on beating me
[]grab her zanpakuto, and rush her 1d100
[] Use kido 1d20+spirit

I tilt my head, and close my eyes sighing and taking in a cold breath of air as I lift my zanpakuto up and stab it into the hard ground in front of me.

"Hmm" I say calmly as I stand up, and feel her press the edge against my shoulder, careful to keep it away from anything that could kill me if its cut "Tora, you do know the only way to make me surrender is to lop my head off? As an artist anything less would be"

I wince as she angles her blade, cutting into my shoulder.

Kotei shakes in my blade, impatiently and hungrily. I smirk

"Disrespectful to my work, REMEMBER! RYUKETSU NO KOTEI!" I shout as my blood drags its self down my arms and into the crucifix shaped hilt, the blade darkening as Tora tries to force me to the ground with one well placed smack.

I stand as she pulls up to swing.

and catch her naginata with the hilt of my blade, a small groove cut into it as I swing, tossing it away. Stepping forward, I catch her zanpakuto's haft with mine on the back swing.

Smirking, I can feel her panic, as she steps back and tries to hit me again. But I don't relent, smacking it away again as I step forward, smacking her stomach with the pommel and making her stumble.

I hold the point to her throat and.
the gong rings.

Its time to get our orders for today

Tora stares up at me, panting and covered in sweat.

What do I do?
[] Go with her to get our tasks for today
[] continue fighting 1d100
[] Ask why she hesitated
[] tell her I look forward to our next match, she's pretty good

"Why'd you hesitate Tora?" I ask bluntly as she stares me dead in the eyes, holding her self up from the ground.

"I realized the only way I could stop you, was to cripple you" She says sadly "You were too stubborn to simply wear out, a deep cut through the shoulder would be the only way to force you too submit and concede"

She starts to stand up, as I seal my zanpakuto and sheath it, sticking it in my sash. I stop her before she stands up fully, offering my hand.

"So I waited for an opening, but you never gave me one" She says frowning as I smile and shake my head

"Well, you still fought well and...thanks for not taking my arm off" I say sneering at the last half of my sentence "I look forward to our next match"

"Why?" She asks, tilting her head as I walk next to her to join the stream of shinigami heading to receive their orders

"You're pretty good" I say shrugging "the only reason you lost is because of my pride"

"Yeah, a sane person would've surrendered" She says bluntly, squinting at me as I chuckle

"Well, I consider the act itself insanity, when you raise your blade you have two fates, victory or death" I say calmly "Surrendering is the cowardly way out, if you lose...in a real battle you end up dead, unless the victor decides to give you that cruelest of mercies"

"I'm guessing that's the wounds of your old life speaking then, kimi?" She asks as I nod "Hmm, still it was just sparring"

"I know, but I don't like losing" I say with a chuckle "as much as I like to show off my style...a lose is always a bitter pill to swallow"

"It is for everyone who isn't an idiot like...you know who" Tora groans, as the open door way to the duty officer gets closer

"Yes, but it hurts me more, since when I lose it means my style needs sharpening" I say frowning as Tora looks up at me, and shakes her head.

"Ah, Kemuri and Shōmei" the officer says, pushing his glasses up calmly as he shuffles through a few papers "Good thing you came together, as you'll be working on the same mission"

He sets down a drawing of a ragged looking samurai on his desk

"That's the face of particularly stubborn lost soul" He says flatly as he turns back to his paper "find him and help him move on, the last two teams who went after him failed or were chased off by his volatile nature"

What do I say?
[] Oh good, been wanting to work with a friend
[] So...why hasn't he moved on
[] He chased them off? what failures
[] Hmm, Well, I think I'll have better luck as a fellow Samuria, come on Tora
[] Poor man, must be trapped because of some regret
[] Can't I go alone? no offense Tora but...
[] OH, this is going to be exciting! my first mission with someone by my side
[]Well, we'll be back before lunch
[] Tora? what do you think?

"Oh, good" I say happily as I grab the drawing, and carefully fold it up before I stuff it into my kimono "I've been wanting to work with a friend"

"Hmm?" Tora says looking at me as the Duty officer dully continues on

"Just be careful, as the last one I sent said his chain of fate was shrinking rapidly, you could end up fighting a freshly born hollow...which I know isn't any trouble for either of you, but still best to be on guard" He says calmly as Tora grabs the other picture, and slides it down her sleeve "As I said he's a stubborn one"

"Hmm" I say as I turn away, pulling my Zanpakuto out from my sash and resting it on my shoulders "Well I think I'll have a better luck a fellow Samuria, Come on Tora"

"Right away" Tora says bowing slightly as the duty officer chuckles

"I'm sure you will" He says flatly as we walk away from his office

"So, do you have any plans to make him move on? I'm mean all I can do is try to use his honor to convince him but...I'm not sure that will work" I sigh, as I lay my hands over the top of Ryūketsu no kōtei

"If he's as stubborn as you...no, none at all" Tora says quietly "Well besides trying to knock some sense into him"

"Oh come on, I'm not that stubborn" I say with a huff as we walk down the street, heading towards the SenKaimon "He's probably just bitter about his death"

"Like you are sometimes?" She asks, frowning slightly "If you want to let me go alone, I would understand, it might just be"

"Pah, I'm not bitter, if I was I'd be in his position" I say angrily making Tora look away with a guilty look on her face "Besides, this is my job, I can't just not do it"

"Sorry, I was just...it felt like it might get to you is all" She squeaks meekly, turning her only functional eye away from

"I'm made of sturdier stuff than that" I grunt "if just a little reminder brought me down like you thought it might, I wouldn't be a shinigami, and I wouldn't have died like I did"


"Sorry" Tora says quietly "I was just worried is all"

"its all" I say, frowning deeply as I furrow my brow.

How terrible it must be, stuck where you died because you're too stubborn to move on and leave the past in the past. I put a hand on my heart. I could've have easily ended up in the same position, if I didn't survive Shiroyama only to die afterwards. if I died in battle...could I have moved on? or would I have been to angry to accept my own end. I run my fingers down the scars on my face, my heart twinging.

I wouldn't have met Byakuya, Aya, Yoruichi, Tora, Kaname, Yosu or even Sekiryu. I would've stopped being me, my memories gone entirely. What would've happened to the style I spent all my life making? Would it have vanished away like the dying embers of a flame.

How long would I have lingered if I died like he did? Would anyone find me or even help me? I might actually have ended up worse and become a hollow's meal or...a hollow. I shiver, gripping my zanpakuto tightly. How easily I could've lost everything in bitterness. I wouldn't have met any of the people who make my life shine if I got stuck brooding on the memories of my past.

My survival, if only for a little while is why I moved on instead of ending up like this poor soul we're going to help. And even then, I still don't remember how I ended up in the soul society after I died...its all just a big blurr.

"Kimi?" Tora asks, looking back down the road as we stand before the open Senkaimon "I won't hold it against you"

What do I do?
[] wordlessly step through the gate
[] laugh, and say i don't back down from any order
[] I'm fine, but thanks for worrying tora
[] I'm just thinking...how easily it could've been me in his place

"I'm fine, but thank for worrying Tora" I sigh as I step up in front of the blue wall of energy, as Tora looks at me blankly, not saying a single word "Look, I was...just thinking about how easily it could've been me in his place"

"Well Kimi, the difference is from what I know of you, you aren't the kind to wallow in despair" She says softly as she walks through the gate, a hell butterfly resting on the back of her head, as one flutters onto my shoulder "Tosen told me what you said to him once, celebrate those you lost, don't focus on the fact they're gone right?"

I step in after her, feeling that familar falling sensation of confusion before I end up standing next to her, and a green hill above a small, peaceful looking farming village with only a couple of well distanced houses doting the raised fields of rise.

"When did you talk to tosen?" I ask turning to her as she stands on the edge of the hill

"Oh, well...it was awhile ago" She says "its a little hard for us too talk and...well I'm just not very social in general"

"Yeah, with you he'd think he was all alone wouldn't he" I chuckle as Tora frowns, not responding in anyway "Well, not trying to be rude, but you really don't leave much of an impression ya know"

"I know" She says calmly "Most people don't notice me, because I'm quite, and so is my Reiatsu, but...I'm not offended just a little"

"Annoyed?" I ask as she nods, glaring off at the setting sun "Well, again sorry"

"Oh there's no need...because he did think I got up and left half way through his reminiscing " She says sadly as she walks down the hill

I chuckle

Hmm. I pause on the edge of the hill as Tora keeps walking by herself. This place looks like its untouched by war but...I know it isn't. I've seen places like this before, to someone who's never fought in a real battle or war it'd look just look like a lucky little patch of paradise untouched by bloodshed and the glory of battle. I frown as I watch the setting sun, shadows slowly falling over me.

Its how it all works, strike the farms and starve out the enemy. How many families have been wiped clean under these hills. Well that's how the world is, isn't it. But I don't know when this Samuria passed. Sure that field over there is perfect for open battle, empty and wide. Many men are buried out there. If it was a skirmish, he could've ended up falling in these words behind my back. Hell for all I know he's been rotting in his anger for generations.

the town could've been built over him...my frown deepens, and I bite my lip as I realize how many battles I've fought. there will be no mark left of them in a few years....Even Shiroyama. Saigo sama will...

I blink...er...where'd Tora go? Oh crap did I lose her? She didn't call out to me at all. She just...kept walking didn't she, and left me up here in my thoughts. Haaaa, I hope she didn't think I needed some time alone and

I grip my blade, feeling my blood begin to boil from the spark of Tora leaving me alone. So many men like me lie buried around here, forgotten, their deeds wiped away by time...And there's nothing I can do to stop that from happening to Saigo sama and my comrades..we'll be put down as villains, criminals cheats and!
-
Nearly hollow
-
I pause, tilting my head. I smell something....good, and suddenly feel very hungry

I smack my hands into my head, smoke pouring out of me and forming vague images of men being cut down, the slayer and victim switching positon as their screams echo in my head, a dull thudding echoing as Anger roars at me to break things, rip, destroy and shred, and that damn smell is basically begging me to go see what the hell it is!?

So, does the Gotei 13 know about even the possibility of Vizards existing at this point?
>>
>>843961
No, I admit I was kind of thinking something similar. Smoke pours out and surrounds an area turning it into an Alan Wake like nightmarescape . . . and then the dreadful and dire visages of eerie looking soldiers/warriors come looming from the shadows.

Yea, that qualifies as pretty bad-ass. I was talking about cool stuff that the smoke could do at the end of last thread. Seems like a decent candidate.

Also just wanted to give props for how HM handled this. Nothing overtly stupid, we just got lost in thought and went to a bit of a dark place while Tora, because we are unlucky, just happened to continue on her merry way not noticing that we are totally pulling a 1000 yard stare.

Right? Originally the idea was to just develop Bloody's abilities to the point where we could use our reiatsu to cut people with the smoke.

This is still functionally the same thing but sooooo much more stylish. People getting cut by ghostly smoke figures that don't even really respond to damage/attacks because they are just magic shaped smoke dudes. Augment it with a lifetime of experience of how horrific battlefields can look.

That'd be pretty devastating to anyone who wasn't incredibly cool headed.
>>
"Cannons and artillery" I hiss, as I cover my eye, and the scar running over it, the blood on my shoulder flowing again as I clench my hands into fists, digging my nails into my palm, feeling the bones in my fingers starting to crack as my reiatsu surrounds me, all of the smoke drifting away into the golden orange sky.

The smoke is so thick, the world around me loses color and begins to burn from the heat of my rage and the force of my reiatsu.

I sit kneel down, hanging my head as I grit my teeth again, looking through the darkness of the smoke, now so thick around me it looks like a dark night, the darkest of nights.

The chill that washes over an empty battle field as the sounds of men's body's shattering and screaming the moment before they're torn to bits echo in my head, the dull booms of the phantom artillery echoing in the sky like the loud laughter of the gods.

I see the town, I can sense the faint impresions of all the people living inside of it. Unaware of what happened to this place before.

"Cannons and artillery" I mummer again as I rise to my feet, my smoke clinging to me like a second set of Shihakushō.

I wipe my eyes as I breath in the smoke, feeling it haze over my mind like a strong cup of sake.

"The new wars are going to be devastating aren't they?" I ask no one, my voice sounding hollow and fake

I sniff, wiping my face to try and gather myself from this mess I've fallen into.

"What will happen to places like this? what will happen when men can destroy their enemies from that far away?" I ask as I stare at a distant hill "Death should be dealt up close, not from the hills over a valley...it isn't right"
I growl, walking out of the cloud of smoke, holding my stomach as it growls again. Perfect, how can I be this hungry when I had such a big breakfast? Dammit, I need to get some lunch the second we get back.

What do I do?

Tosen wouldn't get the "benefit" of the full horrific effect but he would be in big trouble, just differently. Our Reiatsu via the smoke would be coming from effectively everywhere. That might not be as scary but it would sure be unnerving.

Also I guess at that point it just becomes a needle in a haystack roll for Tosen (or anyone smart enough to not rely on their eyes) to successfully make sense of the reiatsu rich smoke.

>>844084
It does sound pretty powerful, like a bankai, but personally my vote is to be greedy and have our bankai be thematically distinct from our (admittedly very powerful and impressively diverse) dual-purpose shikai.

Maybe something that synthesizes the concepts of blood and smoke or even something else entirely.
>>
>>844159
My idea for our Bankai mostly revolved around Shiroyama and everyone Kimi fought and died for, using their memory to empower us and destroy our foe under the weight of Kimis pride as a Samurai, and the pain of her final moments. That's the short poetic version anyway.
>>
"TORA!" I shout running down the hill, keeping my balance despite of how wet the grass under my feet is

No response. I slide onto the dirt road, dust throwing up into the air as I look around..Where could she have gone?

"TORA!" I shout again "Where the hell are you!?"

Again, nothing. I sigh and hang my head, looking around for any sign of my current partner and quite friend. Again nothing, she doesn't leave any sign of her presence like usual, and I don't think she can raise her voice enough to get my attention.

Alright. I tap my sandal into the dirt, grinding my teeth as my untied hair flows behind me wildly.

Where could she have gone?

"Tora!?" I ask again, my throat hurting with how loudly I screamed the other two.

My stomach grumbles again, and I buckle down in hunger, its getting hard to focus with all this heavenly smell in the air. I spit on the ground, sniffing the air like a hound as I smell that tantalizing smell...smells like roasting fat and so many other things
-
8+4= 12= success
-
"No, focus" I grumble to myself, clutching my stomach as I look around "Find Tora, you can get food later, drink with friends...forget all this again"

"Just" I say to myself as I sit on the threshhold of the village holding my hand out "Focus"

I open my eyes to a stream of white light, my head getting clouded by that delicious smell again as I grab four Reiraku ribbons.

One is thin and red....Tora's quite pressence
Another is tattered and beginning to fade
another is a strand of pure black
and a the fourth...the fourth isn't like any I've seen before...it looks white and first glance but..its kind of bluish?

>>844177
Interesting, but my poetic side demands that I point out that Kimi needs no Bankai to do precisely that. Such actions seem to be written across her very heart and soul.

Mayhaps you had some very dramatic and literal expression of same, but on a human level she is already well equipped to use honor and memories to bolster her sword arm and strike down her enemies.
>>
>>844200
>[]the tattered one
If I am reading the signals right, this is the only overtly time sensitive one.
>>
>>844240
>Mayhaps you had some very dramatic and literal expression of same

Exactly that actually. Is my idea really that transparent? Anyway, I agree with what you're saying, but I think they help Kimi in a moral boosting and metaphorical sense, for the most part. I think our bankai would take those memories, and the strength and resolve they give Kimi, to the absolute limit, in the most literal sense possible.
>>
I grip Tora's and pull it, tearing it slightly as I stand up and start to sprint down its path. Need to find her and regroup. Besides as good as she is in a fight...that missing eye is still a disadvantaged. guess I'm a little worried about her. Sure lets go with that kimi, you just don't want to be wrong do you..haaaah, this is gonna be a long day isn't it?

It doesn't take my long to find her, since she's in the town. In fact she's in one of the houses, sitting in the corner of the room, calmly sharpening her Zanpakuto as a fat mother chatters and talks to her children sat in front of her.

"Oh, there you are" She says quietly as the mother continues talking "I thought you needed some rest with how you were"

"Pah, will you give it a rest, it really gets on my nerves when people act like I'm some kind of weak girl"I growl as tora runs her finger down her blade, wincing as she cuts a thin line into it "I just got a little distracted is all"

"Okay" tora says bluntly, cutting me off as she sheaths your sword "but if you get distracted like that, you should probably head back"

"Krrr" I growl angrily, as smoke wraps around my hands "I'd rather die"

She nods and looks back to the mother

What do I do?
[] ask what she's doing
[] listen to the mother's story
[]Ask why she just wandered off
[]Drag her out of the house and ask if she's figured out where he is
[] mention the Reiraku ribbons I saw
[] try and make her feel bad
[] write in

>>844272
Well, its not so much an excess of being transparent as it is we have both seen Bleach I suspect. Pattern recognition and such.

And I just generally approve anything that makes Kimi better at swording her enemies. Even the nightmare smoke scenario is most useful because if it breaks the enemies concentration at all she can just shunpo or smoke-a-port behind them and run them through.

Fair enough, I did finalize the idea after seeing a run down of some of the crazier Bankai's. Though I don't think the big part of my idea is seen all that often, a couple times, but not many.

"And like you're one to judge" I say as I crouch next to her as she tilts her head away from me and closes her eyes "What are you doing in here anyways?"

"Gather information" She says, peeking at me as she presses a finger to her lips "I'd suggest you listen to her, she's telling a story of the blood samuria"

I turn to the mother and tilt my head as I rest my arms on my knees.

"Is that why you wandered off?" I ask quietly

"Yes, since you seemed a little...well" tora says shrugging "I didn't want to bother you, so I went looking for some kind of lead"

"Hmm, well sorry for being so...rough just then" I say quietly as tora nods once and smiles

"Now listen" She says, happily as I lean a bit closer to the family sitting in the slowly darkening room.

"Yes, that violent man met his end not in the fields of battle along side his brothers in arm, but rather in the halls of that temple on those hills above us, slowly fading and wasting away, his senses long gone before his body, unable to even lift himself from bed" the woman says, her son looking terrified, his eyes hidden by the shadows dancing from the flames of the fire place "He died like a dog, wild and maddened, all of the red that stained his hands unable to save him from this terrible fate of his, all his strength gone, and his blade broken. They say he still tries to take the lives of others to steal their bodies in that old temple, its why its been abandoned for years. Now you two won't go wandering again....right"

"Hmm" I say shaking my head "I think I've heard a similar story before"

"I think we all have" Tora says smirking as she stands up "But we have our hunting grounds, so lets"

I grab her sleeve and pull her down

"Kimi?" she asks quietly as I hold up a hand to make her stop and be quite

"Not so fast, I might get distracted sometimes, but I still notice more than most" I say, tying my hair into its usual pony tail as Tora watches me looking a little dull "See, when I came looking for you, I noticed a few odd Reiraku ribbons, one that wasn't like anything of the ones I've seen before...it was tinted blue"

Tora furrows her brow

"What do you think it is?" She asks tilting her head

"No idea, but...it made my stomach cold when I saw it" I say calmly as she frowns

"So do you think we should investigate it?' She asks sounding more than a little curious

What do I say?
[] lets bring this old warrior home first
[] Hmm, yeah, it'll probably make our job easier

Hmm, interesting question

Aya's voice is easy: she's basically just Yachiru to me, since they're so similar

"No" I say calmly as I stand up slowly, cracking my back as I stretch it and my legs "Lets bring this old warrior home first, that's our job we can't just throw it away to go off chasing some oddity or another"

"Ah...yeah of course" Tora says bowing "Sorry, I got a little ahead of myself"

"Eh don't worry about it" I grunt as I walk out of the room, resting my zanpakuto on my shoulders again "Lets go help this poor bastard alright"

"Of course" She says, as she follows me into the rapidly darkening streets "shouldn't waste anymore time"

"Yeah, wouldn't want him going hollow on us" I huff again, as we head out of the town, and towards the lonely tower in the distance
-
the walls are broken and overgrown, half hidden by the forests surrounding this place. the tower itself is...well it reminds me of the one where I became somewhat famous and met Yasu's true self in battle. I smirk at the memory, I need to talk to that man more...I really do.

the whole place is obviously scared by flames, burnt down and ruined. the air is cold around it, and it seems...darker than usual. Blackish purple clouds swirl through it. Contempt, anger, and rage. the whole place is giving me a kind of headache.

Given that Yachiru has a habit of sneak thieving things she likes I assumed they're rather similar, with Aya's being a bit more "adult" due to experience and giving a shit. So if the tone's were the same Aya's "voice" would be a slightly more mature version if written.
Especially in the future, even if she never really lost the playfulness, and being flighty; I also think it should come across more "Hawkeyed" and exacting.
Not sure who would be good for that though.

I take a step into the boundaries of the burnt out temple, whistling the tune of an old war song I know by heart. It doesn't have any words, but it should be good enough to draw the stubborn bastard out of whatever pit he crawled into.

I keep walking for a while, whistling as Tora follows after me calmly. I hear a burning stare on my back, and catch glimpses of a black shadow darting in and out of the corner of my eyes.

Slowly the tune begins to fade and I look around, impatiently tapping my foot on the ground. Tora shrugs, and I take a deep breath

"Oh withered Samuria" I begin, with a hand on my chest hanging my head "He who was lost from the field of battle, taken so wrongly from his rightful fate."

I feel burning rage on my back

"A tragedy it is and was' I say continuing onto the second part of the poem "For such a valiant soul, to be cheated so"

"You deserve better, poor withered Samuria, left alone so far from battle" I say as I finish and look around.

"Well, at least that broke the silence"Tora say flatly, smirking as I groan and clutch my stomach

"I need something to eat, I feel like I'm starving to death again" I groan weakly "I could eat a horse or two I think"

"BEAST!" A warbling, distorted voice roars "AWAY FROM MY RESTING PLACE"

I would prefer to play as Eli and Krovy, personally. Eli desperately searching for Charlotte and her family sounds like a compelling opening narrative, and the moment she reunites with them would be beautiful and heart-warming as all hell. And I don't think Krovy's story is finished yet, and I would love to she that to it's end. Though, if you ever decide to run a sequel to Da'ta, I would love to see it from a different player's perspective.

Demi god/ avatar/ Champion of/ actual goddess in mortal form. Its a high level pathfinder game with one other play

Having a real good time with it.

She's basically the incarnation of the goddess of "Flowing, change, time and such like that" which is one half of a god, which the other player is the well sturdy side of said.

I duck my head back, a tattered blade swinging down at my head, barely missing my hair as I turn and see a starved and thin man dressed up in cracked and broken armor, his mask hanging loosely on his face, snarling at me as I smirk back at him.

"There you are" I say, dancing around the wild blows he throws at me, moving around them like water or reeds in the wind as his eyes burn brighter and brighter with rage, the chain in his chest connected to his sword.

He's struggling to use it since its so short. I frown as I step back, as he tries to skewer me like a fish.

"I'VE DRIVEN YOU OFF BEFORE BEAST, AWAY AWAY" He yells, his eyes glimmering madly as I move my head away from his latest oh so slow and crippled swing

"Now that's just impolite" I say calmly "so I take it you've been hounded by one of those...hungry souls eh"

He doesn't answer and tries to swing at me as I lean to him, tora just watching me looking slightly annoyed as I step up to him, turning around him as he tries to hit me again with his sword stuck to his chain of fate

"Come on, I just want to talk" I chuckle as he swings at me, nearly tripping over himself to get at me "I want to help you"

"you want to eat me!" He yelps as Tora giggles and opens her mouth

I glare at her and she shuts it before she says anything. He swings at me again, and I turn, frowning deeply as I shake my head

"No, I'm just another lost Samuria, I want to bring you some peace" I say softly as he snarls

"Can you make me die in battle, if not, leave me to suffer in dishonor" He hisses "I am not worthy moving on you cur!"

Fair enough. Her domains made her sound more like a less crazy Tzeench to be honest.
>>
>>844764
Yea, this quest actually got me to go give Headmaster's other quests a look.

I am only up to about the mid 40s in ASQ and 20s in UMGQ, but that's enough to get the gravity of such a combination.

And in Charlotte's defence, it is a little bit of a slur putting her on Layla or even Kimi's level.

AFAIK, Charlotte has never killed a human let alone enjoyed it. She is just a super-powered, impulsive magic child. She probably does have Kimi beat in property damage, I suppose.

>>
>>844818
Well I meant more with the impulsive part of Charlotte and her generally enjoyment of battle
Kimi's cool head
and Layla's murderous intent *but only towards monsters/heathens*

She's chaotic good, I swear

Also, I do really wanna start that UMGRQ

Cause I do have the base lines for the starting shit for it and MGLQ

Well, Charlotte and Layla are two of HM's most destructive characters, by personality and by deeds. Charlotte just love to fight, the bigger and crazier the better. Layla is/was a sociopath who loved destruction for destruction's sake. Partial spoilers for ASQ ahead.

She destroyed the old natural order (and replaced it with a better one) just by existing towards the end of her active career.

Seeing those two combined, even if they're tempered by Kimi's cool headedness, is scary as hell.
>>
>>844838
Let me just take this opportunity to say, and this is just my personal opinion, but I feel like UMGQ didn't really gain anything by taking place in the same world as ASQ.

Was sort awkward. I do not yet know how things turned out, but you might consider taking the opportunity to divorce the two worlds from each other once and for all.

>>844861
that is an idea I have

basically two ideas for it

one which is Eli waking up in monster world, having to save/find her friends

and the other is a full reboot
with the same characters of course but.... changes, might meet new ones sooner than old.
might have different magic

>>844860
Well my character's last couple fights include telespamming onto a dragon's back to kill it , Channel energying a room of undead to death, and other crazy shit
including dealing three times the necessary damage to kill a fuckin aboleth

Anyways, finishing the update
>>
>>844860
Yea, I already knew the gist of where Layla's trail of destruction leads. Some mention was made of YDFQ in this quest so I tried starting there. It was obvious that I was missing an awful lot of details so I put that on hold and went all the way back to the beginning of ASQ. That was tied into UMGQ so started reading that as well (it's pretty good by the way so I don't mind.) and so someday I might actually get to read YDFQ in earnest, but I have the gist of things at this point.

But for the record, THIS quest is the main act for me. I can definitely appreciate how HM has gotten better with time. I tried SSQ and it has its moments, but I prefer this one by a wide margin. Seems a bit unfair to me that it is so underrated by comparison.
>>
>>844893
Like I said before, Eli trying to find her girlfriend, regular friends, and family in an insane yet familiar world sounds really fun to me. But you do whatever you think is best, it's your world after all. So long as the yuri remains I will be happy, Char and Eli were a really cute couple.
>including dealing three times the necessary damage to kill a fuckin aboleth

God I wish I could be a part of your games.
>>
>>844903
Huh, that's almost exactly how I started out with HM's quests. Like, to the exact detail almost. Neat.
>>
>>844893

Well, a full blown reboot seems drastic and weaker than just having events in story giving them a good reason to have a clean slate. Just my 2 cents.

Aw fug, my internet goes out once and I miss like half the thread.

20+4= 24+ CRIT= GREAT SUCCESS!
-
"Is it your fault you died like you did? did you turn tail and run like a coward?" I ask as I dodge his swings casually "from your attitude I can tell you didn't, you were given the cruelest mercy a kind soul can give, Life when your battle was lost"

"SHUT IT!" he roars, I turn and step forward, feeling his blade flow past my back "You don't care about me, you don't know what its like to be denied an honourable death woman"

"Yes I do" I say calmly as frown as he sees my face for the first time in our little "fight" "I might not look it, but when I was alive, I knew little more than battle"

He stares at me in confusion

"Y..you're a warrior...but you're a lady!" He shouts, looking confused as I sigh and try to smile

"Yes, yes I am, for most of my life" I say calmly "I had no master for most it, but I lived by the Bushido, I never cheated or acted dishonorably, I honed my swordsmanship into one of the deadliest styles in all of japan, I lived and wished to die by the blade like you did"

He stares at me, like he can't decide to laugh or listen

"I traveled the land, watching it grow weaker, as outsiders came and made us bend the knee again and again" I growl "I watched as our country became a joke of its former self, relying on foreigners and obeying them like dogs. I...I found the last man who shared my opinion, that we needed to stop this change and fight back, and there were plenty more with him. Saigo...my one master I've ever had in my life, he respected me and treated me like a true warrior....and then... the corrupted and coddled government tried to take him from us, and put us few remaining samurai down as they would dogs"

his eyes go wide as I bite my lip

"I am of the last generation of Samurai" I say flatly "We fought back, tooth and nail, but at Shiroyama, we fell, 500 hundred men cut down as we ran down the hill to avenge Saigo sama from those cowards...with their cannons and artillery needing more than a sixty times advantage to bring us down....but they let me live"

I stare at the edge of his sword, remembering the shattered one I held as I saw my father's eyes for the last time

"they removed my helmet and mask as I lay dying on the ground, covered in flesh wounds and scars, my best friend's corpse draped over me" my mouth says as I get lost in my reflection, my scars looking so fresh and new "and saw I was a woman"

Silence Falls as the old samurai lowers his blade and Tora gasps.

"You could imagine what a few wanted to do to me" I say, my voice sounding empty "I could barely breath, I had been shot, stabbed and thrown off my horse, I was a dead woman...until they found me, and figured out who I used to be"

I close my eyes, memories rushing towards me, as I remember my mother's last smile to me, as she hugged me, while I laid unresponsive on the floor. the siblings my father had given me while I lived my life

all of them with white hair and purple eyes.

I left the second I could stand, I could bare to be around that beast who dare claimed to share blood with me. He looked at me like I was too be pitied, his words were soft, unlike when I was a girl, but they cut deeper than before

"And because of my birth, I was dragged from my death among my comrades, the only men I had loved in my life" I say coldly "And made to live, despite my best efforts, they tried to turn me into a "proper" lady, an attraction if you would, the last samurai turned into a meek girl. So I ran, back to where it all went wrong, and then I died, trying to defend those souls who gave me purpose in life, from the same sort of beast you fear, I understand your pain, trust me, I do, I suffered it myself. But unlike you I had the chance to find the death I was looking for"

"My apologize" He says, sitting on his knees with a smile "I thought you were another one of those peasants with swords, all tussed up and smug, it is....hard...are we really all gone and dead"

I nod

"So much history and tradition, lost because of greed...I can't fathom it" He says meekly hanging his head "Still...If I must move on, I'd like it to be by the hand of a fellow samurai denied their end, of the girl who witnessed the end of our way of life, I am...sorry about my words, I couldn't understand how a girl could wield a blade and...you looked like the beast...Tell me, will I join your ranks in the afterlife? the army of the heavens?"

It wasn't even the fullest form of that combo
I did the math once, and figured with it, I could deal over 220 damage in one round, needing only one round of set up.

Five attacks, from two maneuvers at once from one class skill, one boosting maneuver combined with a damage booting stance, combined with another class feature to deal

Better to tell the truth now, so that he has greater resolve to hold on to himself as he passes on.

I smile, and raise my Zanpakuto over his head feeling like some kind of kind priestess as he bows before me like a man ready to be executed or rewarded...perhaps even both.

"Yes, me and you will fight side by side, against all the evils in the world, all the scum and beasts who would hunt those still living on this world" I say softly grabbing his face softly, almost lovingly as he closes his eyes "but you'll most likely forget this life, but if you remember this last meeting, head to the center of the city to join us, and...if you would be so kind as to let me give you one last request"

"Anything" He says proudly, his body no longer weak and starved

"Remember my name" I whisper into my ear 'if you remember, find me...I am Kemuri, Kimi Kemuri"

He nods, and after a solem moment, I plant Ryūketsu no kōtei's hilt on his forehead

and he fades away into golden light.

"Kimi?" Tora asks "Do...are you feeling alright? I'm here if you need any...help?"

What do I do?

"We have a hollow to kill" I say as I turn away from the empty, abandoned temple and begin to walk back to the town "No time to waste"

"Ah, of course" She says smiling, bowing as she follows after me "A hound is always on the hunt"

"Especially without her masters to reign her in" I chuckle shaking my head, looking back at tora as she looks up at me in surprise

"Hmm, I thought you'd hate that nick name" She says, shrugging as she me down the hill

"It fits" I say calmly "Besides I like the sound of it, has a nice...rhythm I guess"

"So its because of poetry?" She asks, sounding a little disgusted

"HEY!" I say in annoyance "nothing wrong with enjoying poetry and making it, its a very noble art"

"Yeah, but you really like poetry" She says almost teasingly

"that's because it helps me fight and keep my "flow" between moves" I say shaking my head "Besides, you're acting like I only read poetry"

She says nothing and I look up at the sky, and stop

"Why do you like poetry so much?" She asks as I chuckle, remembering my mother's smiling face for a moment

"Honestly, I have no idea, might've been my mother, or a friend I've forgotten" I say shrugging "I don't know but...its who I am so why argue with it"

"Disappointing" She grumbles as we head into town and...I feel the urge to sing a song I remember my mother singing to me

"Autumn colors on the mountain lit by the sunset,Deep colors and pale ones,A kimono skirt pattern of pine, maple and ivy trees Decorating the mountain's base" I say, tuning the song to the steps of my feet and dull clacking of my sandals "In the valley stream, scattered autumn leaves Tremble on the waves alone and together, Various shades of red and yellow Forming a woven brocade on the water's surface"

I sigh, and hear tora giggle behind me

"You have a very beautiful singing voice Kimi...though its a little rough" She says teasingly

I frown, and huff, turning away as she keeps laughing.

I sense a hollow for a moment, unleashing all its pent up rage and regret and then. Nothing, like it vanished away into nothing. A pop of power followed by...emptiness. I stop, and judging from the look on Tora's face she felt it to.

"So...you felt that to right?" I Say in shock, gritting my teeth as I rub my now aching head

"Ye..yeah I did" She stutters biting her nail "It just...vanished. This isn't...that shouldn't be able to happen do you think your mystery has anything to do with it"

I know it must, what else could it have been. Normal people can't kill hollows, and if there was another hollow or shinigami we would've felt them as well and...it wouldn't have just vanished

And why is this scaring me so much? My heart is thumping in my chest madly, like a rabbit in heat!.

I bite down on my thumb's nail, and chew on it in thought. Alright this...is a little freaky. the last time I felt dread like this was when ...during the hollows' Ambush. My instincts are telling me to flee!

We don't know how strong he is, mainly because we don't know how strong the Hollow he killed was. And besides, who says this has to end in a fight? I don't know if the Quincies hate the Soul Reapers yet, and now seems like a good time to find out. Hell, if this is before the massive purge, we might even change one of the biggest backstory elements in all of Bleach. And besides, what are we going to tell our superiors? That we saw a weird spirit ribbon and a Hollow vanished for no reason?
>>
>>845343
Why? It's clearly either a Quincy, Bount or Fullbringer. ATM anyone of those would trounce us, we nearly died the last time we got ambushed, if our instincts are saying gtfo we should gtfo.

Are you an idiot? The quincy genocide happened already, Yes they DO hate shinigami already, And our instincts are telling us to GTFO.

This is pretty much around the time a purge happened and we've been at war with them off and on for centuries now. Our instincts are telling us this is analogous to the ambush that killed us with a MENOS on top of a horde of hollows, all in one person. We will tell them exactly what happened and they'll send someone better qualified for it. We already did our mission.

"Lets head back for now and report this" I say slowly as I hold my hand out for the hell butterfly to land on my palm "I have a bad feeling about this, A really bad feeling"

"Well, I won't stick around if its got you on edge" Tora says quietly as she holds her hand out for her hell butterfly, which lands on her ring finger as she stands next to me

"That's generally a good way to stay alive" I say dully, as we renter the soul society with a flash.

"What do you mean?" Ginrei asks as I kneel on the floor in front of him "it just vanished"

"It vanished" I say calmly looking up at him as he looks down at me with a serious expression "that's the only way I can explain it captain, it was there one moment and gone the next"

"Hmm" He says rubbing his chin, as if in deep though "And you mentioned an odd spirit ribbon did you? What did it look like?"

"Well kimi saw it" Tora mumbles as Ginrei's eyes narrow

"then let her describe it, dear Kimi" Ginrei says looking down at me like a master would a prized hound "What exactly made this spirit ribbon....odd as you described it"

"It had a blue tint to it" I say softly, looking up at him as his eyes go wide with surprise or...rage "it didn't have the right...feeling, there was something else in it, something I...can't describe but it made me feel....afraid to be honest, Mi'lord"

He pauses and grabs my shoulders

"Are you certain, absolutely certain it was tinged blue, it wasn't a trick of the light or shadow?" He asks, his fingers digging into me with enough force for me to feel my bones bending under them

"Yes, I am" I say looking him in the eyes, confused as to why he's acting so...oddly, he's usually so collected and calm

He lets go of me, smiling a smirk that quickly fades into a furious scowl

"Kemuri, Shōmei" He says coldly "You are dismissed, you may take the rest of the day off, I have some pressing matters to take care of...matters of vital importance, you understand"

Wordlessly, he walks out of the room, sliding the door closed behind himself

Just want to clarify my vote by saying that I agree that going back is probably wise, just don't want to be completely empty handed.

A question occurs to me: wouldn't they have taught young shinigami at least SOMETHING about Quincy in the academy? I am guessing there was enough in our encounter to have possibly suspected quincy, if we knew about them.

Pretty sure Rukia knew about them in canon when Uryu Ishida shows up.

Not sure of this myself, just wondering.
>>
"Captain Kuchiki" I ask, opening the door as I rush to follow him out of it "What's wrong?"

"Nothing Kemuri" He says calmly "Just go and enjoy your day, I just remembered there's a meeting I must attend to, it slipped past my mind to be honest"

"Ginrei" I say furrowing my brow as he keeps walking away "that's horseshit"

He turns back and glares at me for a moment, before he smiles and chuckles

"Hm" he says calmly "Such a bold girl, well I'll be blunt as well then...this is beyond your station, young artist, just go run along, maybe one day you'll find out what this is about, but today isn't that day, and it won't be for awhile, understand"

I frown as I watch him go, my loyalty and honorable nature keeping me from pressing him any further. I shouldn't hound after my lord, still...this mystery is going to eat at me for awhile isn't it

"Hey, Kimi, how about we get a drink like you offered" Tora asks, shacking my shoulder


I sigh and grin.

"Oh yeah, I'm starving" I say happily, as I follow her from the barracks.

Well I'm just a soldier, when my commander tells me I shouldn't know something. I shouldn't know it.

"Is something troubling you Kimi?" Kaname asks from across the table, swishing his stew around idly "You have barely touched your pork at all...are you feeling sick or anything"

"No..no" I say shaking my head as I grab a fatty and cold piece of pork, chewing on it as I talk "Just lost in thought"

"No, I know what it is" My little says hanging on my back, poking my side as I try to eat "She's scared she'll get fat"

"AYA!" I shout as she shunpos out of my reach, cackling "I'm not! Its not like I laze around enough to gain any weight"

"You know, even if you're her sister, its a little rude to just say that too a lady" Tosen says as he finally takes a mouthful of his stew and sighs

"Hey..." Tora says sounding jealous "Why'd you get chicken and carrots?"

"Oh, well" He says looking around "You could've ordered it your.."

"I can't afford it" Tora whines as Tosen looks guilty "I didn't think any of us could"

"I mean I could've bought it for you" I say bluntly "Kuchiki's still give me a salary for training Byakuya"

"They do?!" Aya ask sounding betrayed

"Yes?" I say tilting my head

"What do you spend it on?" Tora asks curiously

"Yeah, you don't look loaded sis!" Aya says pulling on my hair "you hiding it somewhere huh?"

"Stop" I say as I pick her up, holding her in the air as she squirms around, trying to break free from my arms "that"

"Awww come on' Aya sighs "I was just messing with you sis'

"It feels like we're the only two sane ones, sometimes" Kaname sighs

"Hey" Tora says angrily "I'm just curious, what does she do with the money"

"Probably buys food" Aya huffs as i try to hold her down "or something boring like that"

"why do you two care so much about what I buy with my Kon?" I ask angrily as Aya shunpo's away, back onto my back, making me slump over

9 hours and still going? Holy shit HM you are a beast!
>>
>>845447
Oh, well it isn't so much of it being A quincy
as WHICH quincy it is

Kimi knows what they are but...she didn't really think too much about them. As she became a soul reaper to get a sword and kill hollows
>>
>>845469
>as WHICH quincy it is
Well now I'm far more concerned than I was

>>845468
HM's quest's usually go for twelve hours, depending on the day and general interest.

>>845447

"Because, its interesting" She says "I mean, you don't really treat yourself to anything, so its kind of a big mystery"

"Exactly" Tora says nodding

"Can't you let her keep her privacy?" Tosen asks, sounding annoyed as Tora leans closer to me, and Aya begins to pull on my cheek

I sigh and lay down on the table

"Fine, you wanna know?" I growl angrily as I sit back up "Okay, you know what I spend most my kon on?"

Aya gasps, her eyes sparkling as Tora watches me like a hungry cat tracking a mouth.

I take a moment for dramatic pause and

We'll end here
I've archived
and will answer questions

>>845468
I end when I think its time to end.
I used to be able to do ASQ for long than 12 hours on occasion.

Also, just remember
the thread that made Razsezsunael ended because I had to school.

good times
>>
>>845476
So what does Kimi spend most of his Kon on?
Booze?
Food?
Men?
Hospital bills?

You cheeky bastard. Heh, great thread as always HM, thanks for running. Also, there was an idea talked about briefly on the FSR thread before this one, though it's a bit less applicable now that our shoulder's healed: What if we hung out with Captain Unohana for a day? We already got the sense that something was up with her, and that's more than most people get by the looks of it. Just something that sounded fun (and terrifying) I though I'd bring up.

>>845493
It's men isn't it! She is so frustrated that all her options are little kids or older men she goes to buy some companionship!

Oh and the obligatory were lywd byn!

ideas for next thread
also UMGRQ
any questions/suggestions just in case
>>
>>845476
Oh you tease, looking forward to the conclusion.

>>845447

I was also going to say it could have very well turned out to have been something other than a Quincy, its just that Quincy are on the short list of suspects for when hollows start getting annihilated.

And a special Quincy you say? Intriguing.

One more thing for the record: I know we are going to have to move on eventually, but I am really treasuring these early days of Kimi's career. I hope we continue to get to have her character develop at a steady pace for a little while longer.

My biggest complaint about SSQ is the downright aggressive timeskips and the somewhat forced character development. That is really jarring.

It's a shame too, because some of the dramatic moments are really well written, it just feels somewhat cheapened by how little development went into getting there.

(Terrified laughter)

As for UMGRQ, I only have one idea outside of what I've already said, and I know at least one person here will either like it or hate it: After everyone regroups, they're going to need a safe place to stay right? A place that accepts both monsters and humans perhaps? And Eli and the Destructive Saviors did meet Layla and Maria for an afternoon... In case it wasn't painfully obvious, I think a road trip to Brausberg would be an interesting arc, not just in a crossover either, but Eli and co. trying to find a safe place with some slightly familiar faces to call home. And it might help that Brausberg should be roughly halfway around the world form where they are, if I remember correctly. Just a thought I had, do with it as you wil.

Hmm yes
Also I'm thinking off starting completely over with magic.

And maybe giving you one of the modos
or the combo one
cause I like that.

another option is eli possess a monster and "molds" them into herself

OR
She just has her human body, and her relentless fuckin will power
Oh
and her magic that would make mali look like a sparkler

One thing I won't remove is of course
COMET BEAMU!
No matter what
eli will have comet beamu

I think she should keep her monster modes, because those are connected more to her soul than her locket, and maybe the barest hint of her order magic. And if she does instantly outclass Mali, it should be in direct damage only, because that's what she specialized in before.
>>
>>845523
You think Layla would approve such troublemakers in her kingdom.
>>845528
I think it would work best as a sort of Roadtrip story where the DESTRUCTIVE SAVIORS go trough the now transformed world (giving HM the chance to show it off) battling evil monsters and generally help people with their problems be they EVIL monsters, Demons, chaos spawn or just somebody needing magical help.
>>845531
Oh and COMET BEAM must be there to show evildoers that they arent on the top of the world.

How are you going to deal with the forces of chaos and order now that the world has been transformed.
>>
>>845541
>You think Layla would approve such troublemakers in her kingdom.


I think Maria would love it if some of her favorite anime characters were living in her wife's kingdom.

>>845493
This guy is Aya's superior and also a known face to us. He bought us some splendid booze that one time. Maybe we should take some time out of our busy schedule to try to get to know the guy a little better? Would be good for peace of mind to know that someone we can count on is looking after Aya. (I AM TRYING SO DAMN HARD TO IGNORE THE META!) Perhaps a relaxing game of go or something?

But in all seriousness, I just want to have a chance to steer events away from another retread of Aizen's goofy canon plans. It would thrill me to no end if things go differently or we get to see him come up with something that hasn't been done yet. Maybe get a new angle on his motivations. I'm not saying we have to redeem him, but I would like to give him a chance to be a more human villain.

Seriously, somebody get this guy a role model: Moriarty, Hannibal Lecter, even freaking Khan Noonien Singh ffs.

>>845499

I would dearly like to see what Unohana could do for our skill with the sword, I just would prefer if it didn't result in death.
>>
>>845549
Hahaha good point.
>>
>>845538
Of course, but in terms of magic it'd reset.

thing is
I'm wondering if she'd have all of them, or if they'd merge into her "Chaos" form, or if she'd have to "relearn" how to access them or something
I dunno

also definitely going to give you the chance to get a different magic from the start.

>>845541
Oh I already have the first thread thought out

it'll deal with Eli's first encounter of a natural monster
and show order's still kicking

also
random ogre "HUH, WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT MUSIC"

RELEASE!

then he fucking died

And yeah that's how I wanna do it, I really wanna run this now.
But I'd need to run four quests a week, or put two on the same day on a bi weekly schedule

As for the forces of chaos wouldn't notice much besides the world being more like home and filled with odd magic, they'd be douche bags

Crimson Nightmare would probably find it amusing and sad her "Base" has fallen so far

Order
is fucking pissed
mostly because of how chaotic the world has become since they got pushed out by Layla's girth y tail

Also Min would be around. Cause I like Min, but she wouldn't be hiding out much more since, well monsters are seen as ordinary now a days

Oh and you can recruit new MGs in it,

Which guess what the locket does to girl monsters who wear it?
>>845558
Oh I want to right more Aizen

>>845559

But remember
Mizuki is fucking insane

>>845558
>I would dearly like to see what Unohana could do for our skill with the sword, I just would prefer if it didn't result in death.


The question is, will she show us anything? As far as I'm aware, she's been having fun with the whole "healing matron who looks kind of like your mom" charade for a few centuries now, and I don't know if she'll break it for a low level Shinigami.
>>
>>845566
OH
and there'd be a whole new set of Generals
since a century or so passed
>>
>>845566
>Mizuki is fucking insane

I love all of the implications here, even the horrible ones.

>Which guess what the locket does to girl monsters who wear it?


I can't wait to find--

Hold up. Idea. Mizuki as a Magical Girl. No wait, even better: GIVE ALL THE MILLER LADY'S THEIR OWN LOCKET, EVEN MALI SOMEHOW

And now I've murdered everything in your setting. You're welcome.
>>
>>845579
Mali's soul wouldn't take to the locket, its been tarnished by another magic too deeply and isn't made to work with it

Vera would be listed as too chaotic, since she doesn't listen to anyone

Karla wouldn't take it because "that sounds kind of silly"

Mizuki is well mizuki so who knows

"Maria" wouldn't let maria have a locket

Layla is too filled with natural magic for it too work,

Alex, it would work with

as for Iris, well it'd sever the "unnatural Magic" connected to her
>>
>>845567
She would if we demonstrated real potential, comparable to,say, young scrappy Zaraki. I think that its canon that we have a potentially very high reiatsu, so that's a good start. Zaraki's reiatsu is approximately bullshit/100.

I have no idea how or if we will get there, but I would like to think that through training, effort, guts, and sheer bloody mindedness we can aspire to the lofty height of what pre-teen untrained Zaraki was capable of. Damn it Kubo.
>>
>>845584
So:

Wouldn't work

Wound't work

Doesn't care

Too scary to comtemplate

Wouldn't allow it

Wouldn't work

He he he he he he

And Mali dies, or something worse

Oh well, just a random idea.

Imagine Zaraki with a murder boner for kimi

God I just realized
them facing off would both have
nodachi's *until Kimi releases or something*
a young friend/sister on their back or near it *yes Aya will hang on Kimi even when she grows up a bit*
and scars

>>845587
Lockets have an odd sense of morality

>>845592
Hey, if I do run it, it'll all be revealed

also, just realized, charlotte could disguise herself as a small pack of werewolves, via wolf form and splitting

And Amanda would just be terrified, imaging it like a love craft novel, and wondering where her two sisters went as well as ...you know everything familiar

Belladonna would probably be perfectly happy with the new world *and also be the only one who could naturally see demons/ angel because of her modo*
Ellitotte would be....elitotte

Delia would be horrified, if she can realize how terrible the world has become, and not simply get distracted by it

and Jamie
Jamie would be fucking FURIOUS
>>
>>845613
>Imagine Zaraki with a murder boner for kimi


Hah ha ha ha ha YES.

>>845613
Charlotte would probably be sort of "meh" on the whole change, like right between excitement and horror
Elizabeth would be tired, and more than a little mad

But hey, least she could still COMET BEAM ROCKET!

though how might change if you choose a different weapon or something
>>
>>845613
I'd still like to see Alex get a locket, if only for Vera's reaction.

Hah, yea he is pretty active about looking for fights isn't he? Moreso than Unohana.

And while we are dealing with spoilers, can we just call bullshit and ignore/override certain contradictions and things that Kubo started spewing towards the very end of Bleach? It got pretty bad.

Particularly the revelation that Yachiru isn't actually a shinigami at all! She is just Kenpachi's bankai! even though they finally showed what Yachiru's shikai is a few chapters prior? Not gonna lie, was butt hurt on this one. There is no further explanation on this. Yachiru is gone. Was she ever really her own entity to begin with? Did she die? Was she always just Zaraki's Bankai?

I'm also not too fond of the stuff they did with Yoruichi shameless fanservice cat girl mode and her surprise random ass out of nowhere trap brother. You would have thought that such a character would have been important enough to mention sooner, maybe even have had some role in the plot back in uhhh any of the other pertinent arcs.

Other infamous Kuboisms include:

You can get your stolen bankais back by using a little bit of hollowness coz it is so deadly poisonous/anathema to Quincy! . . . then what about the one guy, Opie, who freaking ate the tres bestia hollow chimaera beast and used its powers? J for jail guy, remember?

It feels like Kubo almost completely forgot that the Visored members of soul society can go hollow for an immense power boost, even though everyone gets told point blank that hollow=anti-quincy and all the visored still don't pull their masks out. It is even re-affirmed that they still could do it when lieutenant green-hair-bug-face puts her mask on as part of the totally pointless training of lieutenant 69-face. Seriously, is Kubo doing this on purpose? Did he deliberately remind the readers that hollowfication is a thing they could still do and then have them not do it just to fuck with us?

Unless I am mistaken, she is one of the shinigami recruits we saved at the tower ambush. Kept in touch after that.
