God Yet Lives

S"This is why you should have let her wander the desert for all eternity, like I was going to do."

L"Hey...can I open those?"

S"You know what, it's probably best if you don't try. Gargantas can go literally anywhere. If you tried to open one without the extensive experience of a Hollow slipping in & out of Hueco Mundo, in the unlikely event that you could even generate one, you are just as likely to put yourself in the bottom of the ocean, or inside the earth's core. And in those extreme conditions, the environment probably does have enough ambient Reitsu to destroy you."
===================================
*Euryale puts her other arm around Noctis, squeezing her a little.*
===================================
Urahara<Oh, you're back...where is Captain Deluge? What happened while you were in there? I have no way of monitering the other end of my Garganta.>

"He is not back already? We separated from each other after meeting with the Arrancar. They said that he had already left."

--

"That would be horrible," Sab said.

--

Noct hugs back.

Urahara<You met with the Arrancar? Why?>
==================================
S"Yes, that is why I suggested she not try it. However, it might be worth teaching you how. We'll run you through a few basic Hollow skills in the morning, then we can work on the ones you have talent for, since you'll have a decent chance to learn them before the invasion."
==================================
"You know...we could still have fun at the beach, at night."

*She takes a step, but the ground underneath her foot gets up & walks away, on account of the fact that it's a horseshoe crab. Before it goes back into the ocean, it snips its claws menacingly at her.*

"...Then again, we could also go back to the hotel."

"We went to Hueco Mundo, and they were already there," Atae said.

--

Noct smiled, "I'd actually really like to go back to the hotel, with you."

--

"You know what we need? Beds," Mortal said, beginning to miss her home in the mortal world.

Iris: <This place is a real dive... what happened here?>

L"...What do you sleep on?"

S"I made Aroma cobble together hammocks."

L"I don't think I like that."

S"Well, I did steal a building from those humans a while back. It should be big enough to fit all of us. Plus, I've been meaning to ask about the miasma's effects."
==============================
Urahara<Well, yes, that would make sense, but that still doesn't explain why you met with them. Did they know something about Lieutenant Tipheret?>
==============================
*And so they went back to the hotel.*

"It was attacked and destroyed," Enkidu stated simply. "It's worse than I remember. I don't think I'll bother staying."
He then began walking in the direction of the nearest outcrop of rocks.

Astarte was pleased not to be the only one that didn't want to sleep in a hammock, but didn't enjoy the thought of staying in a human house.

"You stole a building with no one noticing?" Sab asked.

--

"We didn't meet with them per se, we just ran into each other. And no, they knew little about Lt. Tipheret, but I think it is about time we stop addressing her as a lieutenant. She claims to be working for Keter now."

--

Suddenly pareunia.

Aera: <Ninety-nine Hollows in Hueco Mundo, Ninety-nine Hollows.
Take one down, pass it around, ninety-eight Hollows in Hueco Mundo.>

Iris: <Aaaah, I really do miss this place a lot. The sand, the depressing sky, the neverending number of things that want to eat you!....I miss the human world already.>

*He continues following Enkidu.*

"I really don't know what else to say. I told you I love you and now you seem confused."

[Probably shouldn't have said that.]

*But only after Euryale got a dictionary to look up the meaning of pareunia.*
==================================
S"I am a master thief."

L"Isn't stealing a building basically just walking into it when it's abandoned & saying, 'It's mine now'?"

S"Shut. Up."
==================================
Urahara<I see. That is most unfortunate.>
==================================
"How can I not be confused? Doesn't that imply that you want to...?"

*Taiyo puts her head on Ven's shoulder.*

"I'm okay just staying like this."

Enkidu ignored both of them and started walking faster.

Astarte remained silent.

Kira opened his eyes and snatched up his Zanpakuto. After writing a note that named Hisagi the acting captain of the 9th, he immediately leapt from his window, landing in the streets.
He mumbled and fidgeted as he walked down the street, seeming as though beset by his own personal demons.
When he reached the end of the street he unsheathed his Zanpakuto and opened a Senkaimon, then stepped through.

We failed already... The Soul Society will never be the same... They despise you... She must die...

Thoughts raced through Kira's head as he moved through the Senkaimon- he needed to find somewhere to be alone and collect his thoughts. Away from hollows and soul reapers.

He eventually ended up in Karakura Town and quickly found a place atop the tallest building he could find.

*Venezuela pushes away from Taiyo, but tries to do it gently.*

<I'm sorry...I think I need time to think.>
===========================
*After only an hour & a half, Kira sees a shadow sweep over him.*

Kira immediately rose to his feet and drew his blade, looking around for an attacker.

*Kira immediately got his forehead sliced open, the sudden turning around being the only thing that kept his skull from being pierced.*

Netzach<Damn clouds parting. Oh well. Any last words before I Shunko your head off?>

Kira reeled and let out a cry of anger and pain.
"You fucking bastard! You'll-" Before he finished his sentence he realized something. "You...."
He turned his Zanpakuto and stuck it into the roof, wiping blood from his brow.
"I have a proposition for you."

Iris: <Why the sudden change of pace? Are we bugging you?>

*Taiyo begins to back away.*

"Oh... Okay."

<S--sorry.>

*She starts walking towards the hole to the surface, sounding hoarse.*

<Mist--mister Urahara! Are you there? Do you know where I can h-have something to drink?>
=====================================
<Listen, I don't care what Malkuth told you while I was fighting Yoruichi, I don't swing that way, pal.>

"No," Enkidu answered brusquely. "I want to go faster."

"I'll be at home then..."

*Taiyo leaves, going home.*

Iris: <Right. Well, faster can be better sometimes. But stress isn't good for your appearance! If there's something bugging you, don't be afraid. We're here, man. Right, Aera?>

*He turns his head to her as he's walking and smiles.*
