God Yet Lives

"Yes and no," Enkidu nodded slowly, not sure if he was visible to whoever was speaking or not. "I have a few different objectives... Do I speak to the King of Hueco Mundo?"

Astarte turned the Balla from his face and sighed slightly, "It's okay. I frighten easily, which makes me mad."

"In a manner of speaking. I control what happens in Hueco Mundo so that Hollows with bad attitudes & enormous egos don't come after me. That is why I killed & ate Barragan Luisenbarg."

"I... see. Sorry, I didn't know" Yue offered some empathetic words before sliding over next to her and smiling.

"Oh? So it was you that killed that old bastard!" Enkidu laughed. "I suppose I owe you my thanks for getting rid of him... but on the other hand, you've taken my kill. I resent that."

A smile hinted at Astarte's features and she turned to the others, "This is usually when I would find myself a meal or go to sleep. What do you want to do?"
She felt a nagging feeling at the back of her mind and began to get fidgety. Something big was nearby and she could easily recognize it, although she could put no name or face to it.

"I don't care about your feelings. I'm simply under the impression that you're looking for a fight with us, & you won't be satiated until you've received it. If that is the case, I'll simply have to kill you here & be done with it."

"Oh, are you hungry?" Yue asks her.

"Is that so? You make it sound so easy..." Enkidu's tone had now darkened considerably and his reiatsu was beginning to flare. "And what's this about 'us'? The only one here I'm thinking of fighting is you."

"I could eat," Astarte shrugged before glancing hesitantly up at the ceiling. "But it's not essential."

"If you're talking about eating another hollow... since I've become an arrancar I haven't been hungry for my own kind... well... not in the 'food' way anyway..." he scratched his head and grinned sheepishly.

Astarte glanced side-on at Yue, "What else would I eat? There isn't much variety in Hueco Mundo."

"I was saying I don't know what it feels like to be that kind of hungry anymore. I usually zip up to the mortal world and steal a cheeseburger or something when I need food." He shrugs.

*A garganta opens up in front of Yue and Astarte and Aera and Iris walk out of it. Aera frowns at the two and looks around.*

Aera: <Where's that bastard Yue?>

=====

*Meanwhile, Kite's walking around the Seireitei. Probably.*

Yue kicks her in the shin.

*She stumbles back, looking mighty mad, and yells so loud he can feer his ear drums vibrating.*

Aera: <Kid! WHAT THE HELL!?>

"You are so cute when you're mad Aera" Yue grinned.

"What do you need with me? And I'm not a bastard."

*Iris steps out, taking a few breaths.*

Iris: <Damn... thought you were gonna... abandon me there...>

*Iris gathers himself again and waves pleasantly at Yue.*

Iris: <Hi there!>

Aera: <Wait. You're Yue? Why do you look like you're 5?>

*She distractedly rubs her chin and widens her eyes, glaring at him furiously.*

Aera: <You're Yue?!>

*She hammers her fist down into his head.*

You blocks it, "Yes. And I've always looked this way. Its not my fault you never bothered to ask to see what I looked like without my scarf on. What do you want?"

Astarte had pressed herself against the far wall and drawn her Zanpakuto.
"This cave is getting far too cramped," Astarte complained quietly before raising her voice. "Who are you people, anyway?"

*He really doesn't. He can block it if he decided to use a hand.*

Aera: <Why would I care about what you look like? Listen. We wanna know of a healing Arrancar that'd be willing to help Iris here.>

"What did you do in the first place?"

"In that case, you are even stupider than I'd thought. Are you going to sit around straining your brain to talk all day, or are you going to attack?"

Iris: <Haha, well ya see, one thing lead to another, and I kinda... got stabbed.>

*Iris smiles an innocent kind of smile.*

Mortal looked on at Yue flirting with Astarte with a bit of indifference, then with a hint of annoyance when Aera, and another Arrancar she had never seen before showed up, "Agreed Astarte, it is far too crowded in here." When Aera asks for a healing Arrancar, Mortal makes no mention of Aroma, "Why would you go and find Yue if you were in need of a healer? Also, I don't appreciate you hitting him. He is already not quite bright, hitting his head isn't helping."

"Have you taken a liking to Yue?" Sab asked.

Mortal shrugged, "In a manner of speaking. He is coming to hell, so he deserves some microcosm of respect, and with that, a proportional amount of care." She explained.

OOC: Contrary to popular belief, Noctis is not a frigged bitch.

Noctis nodded, "Alrighty then. There is alcohol in the freezer if you want a midnight snack," Noctis said, heading off to her room to change out of her mother stabbing outfit.

"Why thank you. In any case it sounds like you two were fighting shinigami. You know we've allied with them right, Aera?"

Mortal let out a long sigh, "Did you kill a shinigami? I swear on all that is holy, if you've done anything to interfere with our's and the shinigami's plans for the war I'll kill you myself."
