[Oh hey, look. Another Hitsugaya just landed in your nexus.

For a second, he's surprisingly calm. But when he realizes two very important reiatsu signatures are missing from the nearby area, he panics, looking wildly in every which direction.]

Oi! Matsumoto! Hallibel! Where the hell-?!

[Oh no. Not on his life. He had not allowed such a powerful arrancar to become MIA. Probation or not, she was still a member of the Tenth Division. Not to mention Yamamoto-soutaichou would have his hide.

But wait.]

This isn't where-

Damn it.

[...Maybe he's the one who's MIA.]

(( ooc: A Hitsugaya for 11th_kitty's AU. Hallibel's a probationary member of the Tenth under his supervision. Only major difference from canon personality is that he'll be nicer to certain arrancar. Have at him, but be gentle. He's fairly certain he's screwed. ))

[Aizen was here.

It was unpleasant news, but not surprising. After all, so many others from there world were there, why should he not come? Urahara gave her the news and told her to return to Seireitei, to watch over the others. She found Isane and Hanatarou there, but Unohana was out in the Neutral Zone.

Aizen was here.

Ukitake engaged Aizen to buy those from their world time to get to safety. Unohana encountered Aizen. Her situation was not yet clear, but it was necessary for them to gather together for safety. So Nemu took Hanatarou to Urahara's house. Inside his barriers, they would be safe.

Aizen was here.

Though Urahara's barriers were quite impressive, even the walls of Seireitei had fallen before Aizen. It could happen again. There was no safe place for them. Urahara and another version of Unohana who had joined them had pushed themselves to exhaustion. Nanao had her own duties, and Isane was not trained for stealth. Hitsugaya was likely to do something foolish to avenge his father.

So she volunteered to go. She would scout the Neutral Zone and the Seireitei. She would gather as much information as she could. She'll do her best to keep a sharp lookout for Aizen and Gin, or any others who might be dangerous to them, and to avoid them. Mayuri-sama trained her well, after all. She will be careful.]

[OOC: Feel free to talk to her! But please, no kidnapping or killing her!]

[The little shinigami has been walking around again, wandering far and long in hopes of finding someone, anything he recognized. So much desert and so much sand between him and his friends that aren't even there any more. That's all right. Let the little shinigami wander as far as he likes, until exhaustion drags him down and dulls his senses and he can't feel the mask crawl over his face. It's better that way, really. Dull and white and featureless like the sand surrounding him, only shadows to define bare differences and suggest something like a face.

He doesn't remember the Hollowfication virus released after the Cero Espada's defeat. And the little shinigami can't remember hiding and cowering while others screamed and fought defiantly against what was happening to them. He knows only that he survives and wakes for now, that is enough. The little shinigami doesn't need to know someone else picks him up while he sleeps and explores those white sands with something almost like joy. The little shinigami Hanatarou wanders around looking for a rescue that won't come.

The hollow behind the mask, however, knows there's no other place either of them belong. Not out here, not in the white sands of Hueco Mundo.]


((Here, have quasi-Vizard!Hana to poke at. Further background info in the profile.))

[Everything had changed in an instant. Where before she had sat on the ground, watching the battle happen before her, she was back where she began. Her time remembered there had not faded, and she had been gone for only moments- but she had learned much in that time, and seen what may be the source of Ichigo's aloofness.

Now she sits in a clearing in the Neutral Zone, fresh from her fight with Yammy. She remains still in order to avoid aggravating her wounds, bruised, bloody, and sweaty from the encounter. She mutters to herself, low enough only for herself to hear.]

What in the world happened, Ichigo...?

[ooc: After a year in BDR, she's finally been canon updated! Come bother her! o/]

*One second he had been in that city in the small house he shared with Orihime and two others, and the next thing he knew, Ulquiorra was standing in the Neutral Zone of the Nexus. At least this time it wasn't as confusing, although he hadn't exactly wanted to leave.* Another? Hm...it doesn't seem like Infinity. Woman, are you here as well?

(Semi-canon Ulqui. Well, he was canon before the two months at 8_dressing. He's here for k0koro_kara.)

[Shunsui is standing outside of someone's door, giving said door a knock.]

Ah, Nanao-chan, are you home~? &hearts

(OOC: Anyone going by can also respond, of course...as can several Nanao's, it's fine with me! :Db)

[Ukitake had just now noticed that it was on, and then he moved so that is will be facing him.
There he was wearing his trademark smile, with his eyes shut.]

Yare, yare, it seems I got my self lost...

Would anyone be kind enough to tell me where I'm?

[He backs away from the camera, he then looks up at the sky hair flowing in the wind.]

Even here the sky is beautiful...

[He took a deep breath, as he opened his closed his eyes feeling the wind touch his body.]

What a nice day.

[He then looks back at the camera, smiling nervously.]

It seems I had forgotten my manners.

[He laughed slightly, trying to make himself calmer.]

I’m Jushiro Ukitake!

[He then looks back at the sky once more, before the video ends.]

[OOC: His near las notchas.]

somewhere, in the middle of the nexus there is an Orihime with a huge pot full of something settled nicely over a campfire.

Ah, excuse me everyone but I made too much hot coco. Anyone is welcome to come and get some, but I ran out of marshmallows and mugs, gomen.

Another place? At least I'm on dry land this time, I was getting tired of the rocking of the ship. I wonder how long I'll be stuck here?

[A Kira has arrived in the nexus, dressed oddly, and he has a very colorful puffin following him. He doesn't seem nearly as shocked about arriving here as others would be, but then again, after the chaos of the grand line, not much phases a person.]

[OOC: This Kira is from mallowmateys, I thought that I'd bring him in to say hello, and to get a little time with some of his friends that aren't over at that game. ♥]

Cast Of Characters:

Rescue Rangers: inkedstray, blood_and_haiku, wrathoflove, thewhiteking, terrorinpink (per request), ltnumbernine, dutyandpride
Damsels In Distress: sakuraprince, secret guest
Dastardly Villains: godmodeing, psychoticsilver
Underpaid Henchmen: Any Las Noches People

OKAY, LISTEN UP!

We've finally gathered enough info to get in to Las Noches and free the prince. He is believed t'still be alive, since he hasn't returned from the dead, and it is our first and only priority to get them the hell out of there. Even if it costs us our lives.

The 12th Division has supplied us with reiatsu dampeners, which can be turned on to max to completely shut off your reiatsu. This is how we will be able to get into Las Noches without gettin' in to too much trouble. We do not have a healer with us, which means that if anyone gets hurt, ya better hold in yer guts and keep runnin'.

We wanna avoid any trouble, but if needed, we'll fight. Just don't forget to turn the devices off first, of we'll be easy prey.

Any questions?

[Watch Captain Renji be pretty damn captainy.]

[It had been quiet around the house he had lived in with others once getting sick and tired of the version of Las Nochas in this place. To quiet for a certain Espada. He could only laze around for so long before he started going stir crazy, and even then he had actually tried to keep himself from doing something that could have been thought of as stupid.

Well, enough was enough for the common sense that he had developed. Grimmjow was fucking bored, and that had to be fixed..


Maybe that's how he found himself walking close to the Nexus' version of Seireitei. Curiousity and boredom was never a good thing when the two combined, but he wasn't interested in getting closer than he already was. The movement of a lower class Hollow had gotten his attention.

That bit of hunger that had been tearing at him would be satisfied, along with some of his boredom. He'd get to kill something and eat, small of a win win situation as it was it'd do enough.]


(OOC: ANYONE is welcome, be it telling him to fuck off or whatever with him being close to the shinigami, a random spar, or just wanting to talk. The guy wouldn't stop bitching about not getting used.)

((OOC: Open to any, but rp invite to ihasabandaid))

[He's been trying to keep his head down and out of trouble and for the most part succeeding. There's this heavy air about the place as of late, something tight and oppressive, not that that's any reason at all for him to find a place in the Neutral Zone that's closer to the Seireitei than he might have otherwise chosen. But it's at least far enough away that he can pretend he's not sticking close for safety. Easier to admit he's just loitering staying around to maybe look for and keep an eye out on that Hanatarou that's so close to being like the one he left behind.

So he's wandering around with his sword strapped to his back and a pack of dried fruits stuffed into his pocket just in case he finds someone friendly to talk to.]

This Rangiku was extremely worried now. She had felt the changes in Toushiro-chan's reiatsu, but now she couldn't seem to find him at all. Ran had been going in the direction she thought he was and has now found herself lost. She had also felt someone else's Reiatsu fade away, but she wasn't too sure who. She was still too new at most of this.


(ooc: lock to Survivor AU )

[After she had helped Kaien save his brother Ichigo, she had gone home dropping her puppy off and grabbing a scarf she wrapped up. She headed out for a walk, her eyes on the ground. It seemed that everyone she came across had someone to come home to. That's what she wanted. Rukia, dispite not needing to work, that's where she always was it seemed.

She wandered the yard and paused, looking out to see New Seireitei in the distance and a deep sigh pulled from her. They had time now, time to be together like they always wanted, but..Rukia was a workaholic and Hime had to accept it. She had but she didn't realize just how much she hated Rukia being gone...until she was when she didn't have to be.

Through the Neutral Zone she wanders, hands in the pockets of her coat, scarf wrapped around her face so that her nose peeked over it, eyes on the ground as she walked, not even sure where her feet were taking her.]

[OOC: She helped the K4 here http:community.livejournal.com/bleach_dressing/961371.html and is off on a wander. Come bug the Hime!]

[It's been a long time since this berry graced the Nexus. Almost six weeks of absence, not knowing the troubles that had fallen on his family since he'd gone.

And he was a little pre-occupied to deal with them now; falling from the sky like a stone, a fist shaped hole in his chest, and eyes wide and staring.

Ulquiorra's hand... the last thing he remembered seeing was Shiro rush past him in a beserker rage as he fell. He was sure he should have hit the ground by now, sure he shouldn't even still be breathing.

The last thought he had before he impacted the ground and gave himself over to unconsciousness, was a rush of memories that told him where he was...]


[K4 Ichigo is back!]
