God Yet Lives

"A red long sleeve shirt will be fine, it gets kind of cold here at night... I mean... you know what I mean." Mortal replied.

Sab had already vanished into their cave, and was busy away at the pants.

--

Atea furrowed her eyebrows, "If I may be candid, I would not like to at all. I came here to run Squad 4's ideas by you. I would like your opinion so that I may return with your word, and help my Vice Captain with anything else she might need, presumably the report for the Captain Commander. I mean, why would I need to go to Hueco Mundo anyway... I'm not really a fighter."

--

Noct had to wonder a bit about the 'sweetie', but didn't do anything more than smile warmly, and return to her food. When Lilith dropped her fork, and didn't answer Noct's question she frowned and gave Euryale a worried look. Lilith didn't want to talk about it, so it was probably best to stop prying, "Well, we've been invaded by hell, and hueco mundo practically back to back, but other than that we've been fine." Noct replied, though her mind did briefly spark back to the not fine part of the night yesterday.

*Aroma starts laying down red silk at Mortal's neck, standing on her toes & tilting her head back to try & avoid being poked in the eye by Mortal's assets. Once she gets down to the chest area, she keeps fumbling & having to untangle knots.*
==========================================
*He slaps a hand on her back, between her shoulder blades.*

Urahara<That's the spirit!>

*He snaps his fingers. The albino chick sighs as she pushes a button & the wall slides open, revealing the Garganta Machine.*

Urahara<You see, making bandages requires some kind of fabric production.>
=========================================
*Euryale looks pointedly down at her pancakes.*

E"So. Um. We have an errand or 2 to run today. Do you want to come along?"

L"No, I think I'd rather stay here."

Mortal smiled wide as Aroma fumbled around with her chest, "Aroma, they're just breast. You've got a pair yourself," She said, running her hands over Aroma's chest to punctuate her statement.

--

Noct frowned, "Are you sure? You don't want any company? I can go take care of the errands by myself, so Euryale can stay with you."

--

Atae shook her head, "I don't think you heard me, I don't want to go to Hueco Mundo."

"I feel like I'm missing something" Yue was back outside meditating and breathing in the miasma.

*Aera groans in pain and proceeds to make use of her incredible strength, slamming her right gauntlet into the enemy's face.*

Astarte continued her walk, checking occasionally on the site of the explosion to see if anything happened to be going on.
I could go back down to the Menos Forest, or I could stay up here in the relative light, trudging through the dunes... Or then I could go to the World of the Living and treat myself to the soul of a human, or even a Shinigami.
She reached out with her right hand and traced the grooves and cracks on the skin of a crystal tree, turning her eyes to Las Noches.
I could take a look at the new king, too.

Urahara<Well, neither do I, & they're YOUR bandages. Cheer up, I'm sure Chesed will agree to go with you.>

*The albino girl shoots him a death glare that would make Mortal envious.*
===============================================
*He intercepts with his arm, pulling his spear out. The arm snaps & twists at an odd angle as he pulls his spear out. Shouting, he quickly leaps several dozen feet into the air before throwing the spear at her.*
===============================================
L"No...I'd actually prefer to be left alone?"

E"Would you like me to show you how to use the TV? The one that wasn't destroyed, I mean?"

L"That is quite all right, but thanks."
================================================
*She gasps & ends up having to tear her finger out of a knot. Once it's out, she quickly finishes down to Mortal's xyphoid process.*

OOC: It is not often I get to say "xyphoid process" in a conversation.

"But, there has to be someone else better suited to do this..." Atae protested, though she was starting to realize it was pointless.

--

Mortal smiled triumphantly at the reaction she was able to get out of Aroma, "That isn't the reaction I had expected, especially after explaining how everyone had them. I wonder what you'd do if I did something... unique with you."

--

Noct shrugged, "Alright, call, erm, find us if you need anything."

*She casts three thick tall monoliths of ice to slow down the spear and leaps over them, firing a Menos Que Cero at it.*

*The spear seems to have vanished. The Soul Reaper descends rapidly from the sky, slashing her with the trident end of his spear before landing on the building below & jumping again.*
==============================================================
*And so, after finishing breakfast, Euryale goes to fetch the cat carrier.*
==============================================================
"Wha--what do you mean?"
==============================================================
Urahara<Maybe, but time is money.>

Chesed<Just quit whining & get in the damn Garganta.>

*Chesed quits whining & gets in the damn Garganta.*

Yue opens a garganta, "Must... investigate..." and walks through it.

*She fires a Menos Que Cero at him.*

Atae lets out a long sigh and says, "Please inform my vice captain that I will be away in Hueco Mundo." She then follows after Chessed.

--

Mortal walked a hand up from Aroma's stomach to her clavicle, "I'm sure we could think of something we'd enjoy."

--

Noct waits by the door after clearing the table of dirty dishes.

*Iris makes his way out of the water, soaked from head to toe, and finds a more dry place on the building.*

Iris: <What did I say about messing up my clothes...? Now I'm even worse off!>

*Iris sighs and throws off both his coats off to the side, then draws his Zanpakuto and waits for Aera to finish attacking the Soul Reaper, keeping his guard up in case he were to attempt striking from behind again.*

*The Soul Reaper jumps really high again, in the reverse of the direction she fired the Cero from. Instead of attacking Aera, he dives down towards Iris.*
================================================
*Once in Hueco Mundo, they find Mortal molesting Aroma.*
================================================
*Euryale comes into the room with the cat carrier.*

"Ready to go?"

--

"I think being a 'celebrity' has gone to your head."

"Shut up."

Yue also arrives in Hueco Mundo to witness Aroma being molested. He facepalms a mighty facepalm, "Oi, can't you leave the poor girl alone? Sab must be jealous you're giving Aroma that kind of attention."

*Iris raises his left hand and white energy starts to form around the palm of his hand. After a few more seconds of charging, it releases forward towards the Soul Reaper as a huge white energy beam.*

Iris: <Cero!>

Mortal backed off, and crossed her arms, "Sab is fine. I've done nothing wrong."

"Oh, I can see that, no one is saying otherwise." Atae said, "I'm not here to discuss the sex lives of arrancar."

"What are you here for then?"

"Good question, I just remember being pushed in here despite not wanting to be..."

Chesed<I am surrounded by morons. Captain Urahara OBVIOUSLY wants to replicate the effects of that Arrancar's Zanpakuto.>

*She points to Aroma, who stammers something that sounds like, "Mine? Really?"*
========================================
<Holy shit!>

*He dives out of the way, slashing at Iris with the spear.*
========================================
"Yep. I even brought a little baggy of cat food. In case Lulu's hungry."

"He wants fabric?" Mortal asked, "For what?"

"Bandages, I do believe."

"Right, I forgot you guys got invaded, again. You know what, you guys should start putting themes to your invasions; liven things up." Mortal stopped and thought for a second, "Wait, you guys already do; Arrancar invasion, now Hell. Whats next?"

"You're neither helpful, or funny."

--

Noctis smiled, "Now I know why she like you more."

*Iris dodges out of the way and counters by slashing at the Soul Reaper with his Zanpakuto.*

Astarte's interest was caught as she felt the spiritual pressure of Shinigami appear in Las Noches.
She had no intention on joining any kind of fight, but she did want to see what was going on for herself.
Using her sonido she sped towards Las Noches, trying to see or feel any evidence of a battle.
Perhaps this is not a fight, she thought as she closed in on the area, I will still proceed with caution.
When she arrived she stayed at a safe distance of fifty metres, trying to remain out of sight.

"There's also the fact Aroma's power can heal, don't forget that too... Mortal." Yue crossed his arms and shot her a low level glare.

Mortal had holed up in Las Noches specifically to take on any challenger who showed up, so when a hint of a spiritual pressure popped up nearly 50 meters away, she shot her eyes over in that direction. "Hey, who is out there?"

Atae furrowed her eyebrows, and tried to find what Mortal was looking for.

When Yue spoke up Mortal furrowed her brow, and lifted her shirt to show her still healing wound, "I know better than most."
