You decide to do a time skip- Oh I mean. The day passes relatively uneventfully. You go to the gas station and buy a carton of proper cigarettes, figuring the least she can do is smoke something you will enjoy. At the very least you could bribe her one pack at a time if negotiations go sour. She doesn't seem to have much artistic talent, but she gives it her best, and that is supposed to mean something.

Well, it means she gave it her best really, and nothing more since it didn't actually accomplish anything. Of course what one defines as accomplishment really changes from person to person which "Schrödinger you alright?" Ryoko asks.

"Oh, that? Don't worry about it. She does that sometimes. Best to just sort of let her get it out of her system. Sometimes she vocalizes what she is thinking and then things get really weird." Akira explains.

"O-oh. Sort of drifts off then? Huh. So is it just us or-" She asks.

"Right, my brain is back on one place." You explain shaking your head as Ryouichi enters the room.

"Sorry for being late, I didn't know if I should come but I felt I couldn't let you guys down so I-" He starts. He is already such a disappointment

"We get it Ryouichi, hurry up then." Akira explains

You now have a group of impressionable young minds at your command.

How will you explain to them the world of the dead?

Just give them the basics for now.

And tell them about Hollows for now.

We can fill in the other information later on when it becomes relevant.

We know a lot, and we've already claimed to be a spiritualist. Let's give them a brief explanation of what we know of all of these things, but not too much information on any one of them.

>>25540461
I second this, but allude to the fact that there may be more kinds of things out there.

>>25540375
>[]You are the true king of Hueco Mundo
hueheuheuheuheuheueheue

>>25540474
That sounds good.

>>25540375

I vote we go with frank, but not detailed. Like, general overview of the system.

We start with Hollows, and what their deal is. Shinigami and Quincy get notes primarily on that they're separate groups that fight hollows, but info is limited because they are, at best, standoffish assholes most of the time.

>>25540375
[X]Frankly
[X]Shinigami
[X]Hollows

There are Hollows, and there are people who hunt them.

>>25540485
(Same person that posted this, not a second vote for this option)

If we tell them this, then later on when we encounter the other spiritual beings with them, they won't be able to claim we withheld information and a shitstorm may be prevented.

>>25540531
yeah this is good

>>25540497
That's probably the most plausible.

Like shinigami are ghost samurai, and quincy appear to be human magic archers.

Both are kind of jerks and think they're the only ones allowed to fight hollows.

>>25540375
Somewhere between frankly and mysteriously. We want to tell them some of the truth, more than they currently know. We don't need to get into a lot of details. Mostly, we should be upfront about what they'll be dealing with face to face.
That way they'll have more trust for us, and not really feel like we're hiding a lot from them

I do think we should color it a lot differently than the nofunigami teach it. What with the "not just soul society, but also Valhalla" thing.

>>25540375
[x]Frankly
[x]About quincies
[x]Shinigami
[x]Hollows
Get them up to speed on the basic shit.

>>25540485
Well with angels and demons, we should just say that in certain shady circles we've heard talk of their presence, but don't know how much is true and how much is false.

Like just say that from what we've heard demons are like hollows but with subtle differences, and angels are typically passive but by far the most powerful?

>>25540559
this too is good

>>25540576
this is damn near perfect

>>25540576
I'll second this.

>>25540576
>>25540559
>>25540485
In any case, we should mention Angels and Demons being the foreign equivalents to Shinigami and Hollows, but we don't really know that much about them since we haven't really travelled outside of Japan since we started seeing ghosts.

Which is true.

When talking about hollows I'm pretty sure we shouldn't talk about Menos at all, since that's privleged information.

Just say "certain hollows develop a taste for other hollows, and feed on them almost exclusively. through the process of cannibalism, hollows can become really powerful, but at the same time, not exactly a threat to humans anymore"

>>25540375

"All of you here have seen at least one Ghost around town, yes? You know the ones, they have a chain attached to their chest."
"And you all know of the Monsters, who wear masks and have holes in their chests, yes?"
"Well, the masked monsters are known as 'Hollows'. This is because the hole represents the loss of their humanity, It drives them to consume both ghosts and spiritually strong individuals, such as yourselves."
"If the Chain on a ghost is either removed, or finally erodes over time, the Ghost undergoes a seemingly painful metamorphosis into a Hollow."

"There is a group that claims to 'purify' the Hollows and 'move on' the Ghosts. They are Called Norfunigami. If they were actually serious about this task, why would there still be Ghosts and Hollows? The answer; It is a Farce. Though this Farce does not currently affect you all, other than the presence of the Hollows."

>>25540616
I don't think that we should trash talk the shinigami's just yet. We could say something about how they try to purify them, but "we don't know their motives, and they're fiercely secretive. I don't trust them, whether or not you do is up to you."

>>25540673
I'm with you on this one

>>25540616
>The answer; It is a Farce. Though this Farce does not currently affect you all, other than the presence of the Hollows."

I don't think we want to reveal THAT much, but the rest is good for conveying the basics of the whole situation. Maybe throw in a bit about the Quincies too.

>>25540616
I like this. I like this a lot. Maybe soften farce, but try to throw a little bit of distrust to them.

I do want them calling them norfunigamis though.
That is the important thing to take from this.

Just because we're avoiding mystery, it doesn't mean that we're avoiding our natural flair for messing with folk.

>>25540722
We've pretty much killed everybody that's heard us call them nofunigami, so I don't really see the harm in it. I don't think we've said it to any shinigami who've lived in the end.

>>25540613
I do like this as well. We should include this. Maybe make our eventual reveal into something that won't have them devoting the rest of their lives to killing us.

>>25540687
We could always just turn on the crazy full force, come off like a conspiracy theorist.

>>25540722
Don't we still need the nofunigami since one of them has the apple thing? Which we need to break into SS. Thought we were going to try and copy at least parts of invasion of SS.

"Alright, I'm not going to bother with the whole spooky 'ghosts are real' treatment. If you didn't already know you wouldn't be here."

"The specific reason I wanted to talk to you lot concerns Hollows. There's other stuff too, but Hollows are the immediate concern and therefore what we will be focusing on."

"Hollows are those weird masked monsters. They also used to be people. Well, actually they kinda still are people, but- I'm getting sidetracked. Humans, and other things too, have souls. Hollows have had a piece of their humanity removed and they try to eat souls to 'fill' that hole. S'why they're called Hollows. Well, that and the gaping hole in the chest."

"Their nature kinda means that they're never not hungry in a way though, which makes them dangerous. It's the like question implied in Zeno's paradox- We will be covering that in class next week, heads up- about always moving only halfway to their goal of filling up. Since they need to constantly consume until I guess they somehow become full permanently they're dangerous. Moreso because that kinda fucks with the afterlife as intended."

"Which leads us quite nicely into the logical conclusion to the ones who hunt them down. The two big local players are the Quincy and the Shinigami, though I'll be honest when I say I don't know as much about them. They keep people at arm's length and tend to be dicks about it. Rule of thumb is that the Shinigami use swords and the Quincy prefer bows."

"So on the one side you have people who get dragged down by some factor in their life as it warps and destroys them for being unable to move on, then on the other side you have splintered opposition groups who are convinced of their inherent superiority who kill them and try to 'protect' the greater good."

"Which leaves the little people between them. Who get front row seats to a Kaiju battle. Which is probably the one thing you don't want front row seats to. Other than nuclear tests. You guys, basically. Now we fix that."

It would be interesting if Hollow's ravenous hunger for human souls came as a mirrored reaction to the Soul King's gluttony.

>>25540817
Welp, we have a winner.

>>25540687
Do we actually know anything about the quincy? I mean, I know we've had some interaction with them, but has Lu or Wolfbro-chan told us anything about them aside from "Hey dude, arrows"?

>>25540779
Naaaah, we want them to take our word as gospel. Just be honest with the normal background amounts of tricky.

>>25540817

dropping my idea for this. This is Literary Silver!

>>25540859
I think we heard they don't get along with Shinigami?

So are we agreeing on spilling the 'hollows are people' thing from the start?

If I recall correctly, Ichigo didn't take that information well, but maybe that's just because Rukia hid it from him.

>>25540844

Thanks. It's hard trying to balance 'crazy' and 'helpful' with Risa since she teeters like a sailor on shore leave.

>>25540817
Perfect
my vote for this

>>25540817
I can't see anything that could go wrong with saying that.

Full support.

>>25540817
Should we mention that it seems like the ideal prey of hollows is other hollows, or save that for later?

>>25540941

Nobody but a Hollow or some sort of Hollowologist would know that extensively.

It might be best to just say that we observe them attacking each other, and swore that we saw one eating another one. It might be a territorial thing.

>>25540994
Good point.

>>25540941
Later, later.

Or pack a warning that the really strong ones start eating each other.

"Okay, where to start?" You ask.

Mein Gott, habe ich 2% Milch. How do I function?

"That's not helpful." You mutter before nodding.

"Alright, I'm not going to bother with the whole spooky 'ghosts are real' treatment. If you didn't already know you wouldn't be here."

>>25540890

We're trying to balance it out here. I think we should compare it to a dog getting Rabies: There isn't really a going back once it happens. Either they have to power through it somehow or get put down for the safety of others.

And in the defense of Anti-Hollow forces (Though we should never explain it like that) the ones that even try to reach for that potential are few and far between.

So it's not unreasonable to be kinda racist when 99% of of your race turn into insane monsters that can never become more that the bane of the afterlife.

>>25540941
>>25540994

I think we should save that bit for later. If it comes up, we could infer that due to Hollows being constructs of 'adrift' souls, and subsisting entirely on souls being a naturally occurring phenomenon that the ideal diet of 'Hollow' is 'More Hollows'.

Not that it matters, as Hollows being violent evil souls of the damned compulsively consuming stuff makes it kinda hard to test that shit scientifically.

Also, deliberately feeding different kinds of souls to them is pretty morally dubious at best.

"So on the one side you have people who get dragged down by some factor in their life as it warps and destroys them for being unable to move on, then on the other side you have splintered opposition groups who are convinced of their inherent superiority who kill them and try to 'protect' the greater good."

"Which leaves the little people between them. Who get front row seats to a Kaiju battle. Which is probably the one thing you don't want front row seats to. Other than nuclear tests. You guys, basically. Now we fix that." You explain, paragraphing making the speech look cooler.

"Uh, how, exactly?" Ryoko asks, her blonde hair being blonde.

You pull a one pound coin from your inventory from the year your were hollowfied and spin it on the table. You watch the coat of arms and the face of the queen flicker in and out of your vision before grabbing it and rolling it over your fingers. "Simple. You have power and I can show you how to unlock it, or at least set you on the right path. You have the right to defend yourselves." You explain.

"That's, they're people right? Can't we talk to them?" Ryouichi asks, shaming your spirit powers for ten generations.

"More like zombies? Or their Id with all the dark scary stuff crammed into it. They don't know what they are doing." You explain.

"So how do we start?" Akira asks.

It will be a few days before I get the clubhouse where we can practice powers finished in relative peace, but for now I can teach you how to unlock your rei here. Its probably not going to be flashy until we're further down the line though.

We can also go on field trips to train your senses! Spot the hollow before it spots you is the funnest game.

>>25541064
[X]Other, fuck reporting to lucy like a lapdog, let's just tell them that we're preparing a training field for them to work in so that we can help them with their powers. Offer them the ability to see it now, but warn them that it isn't done yet, and tell them you'd prefer for them to wait while we give it the finishing touches over the next few days.

>>25541124

You haven't had to rhyme in a few threads AE, does this make you sad? Or is it a welcome break?

>>25541064
Now's the best chance I'd say to form the Metaphysics club.

I'd say our first lesson should be concealing your spiritual power.

Like maybe demonstrate (keeping our go-juice human flavored), and see if we can teach them.

Ryoko would be especially appreciative.

>>25541064

Ryouichi: Even in the best of circumstances, certain kinds of people cannot be reasoned with no matter how many concessions or logical points you make. Now imagine that these people aren't humans, but now a thing whose only interest in humans is a soul-flavored snack. I guess you might find some Hollows who could debate intelligently, but they'd still want to eat you all the same.

>>25541064

"I was going to try and bullshit my way into forming some sort of after school club thing. It would give us a solid start for organizing and would be less suspicious to our mundane fellows at this institution if we started spending more time together."

"So basically I'm telling you guys to be ready for when I mount the Bat-Signal on the roof. Also, now would be a good time to figure out your super-hero names. I don't want a 'Captain Vengeance' or a Mr. Hero' running around. Especially not if they're associated with me."

I say we tell them to sit tight and think about what feels natural to them. Have them see if they can figure out anything about themselves that could help them channel their powers.

This.
>>25541193
And maybe this.

Azure, quick question: What stops us from buying a plane ticket in our meat suit and hopping a plane to Mexico later on to see if it's really like Hueco Mundo? I know angels are about, but the gigai is there to avoid our power getting detected in the first place, so just wondering if that was plausible for a weekend or something.

>>25541241

I like the clean segue from 'helpful' to 'off the meds again' there.

Apart from air fair travels? So long as you remain all ninja like it might be fine. Maybe.Osama Bin Laden hasn't invented terrorism yet.

>>25541122
Do both. We were planing to wait on forming "ghost club" until we'd finished building a proper training space. Unfortunately events have outpaced my work on that. For now your mission is less investigation and more self preservation. Watch out for hollows and if one seems to focus in on you call me or get to the shrine I'm staying at. My deep seated desire to shock people out of their comfort zone wants me to keep the training facility under wraps until its ready, but as has been clearly demonstrated to me recently (look at Ryoko) I need to keep my impulses in check when it comes to you guys.

Get them your phone number. Maybe set up a private training session with Ryoko to test her current limits.

"But if we could understand them, I'm certain we could come to a peaceful reasoning. Yeah, I'm all about peace." He explains while glancing at Ryoko.

"Good for you?" She offers.

"Yeah, I'm pretty deep." He explains.

"How often do you explain things to curried chicken? Or strike up conversation with snack cakes or what ever else it is you kids eat. They eat people because they are hungry, and the more they eat they deeper their hunger grows. On and on until even eating loses all meaning. That is what it is to be a hollow." You explain.

"We can domesticate pets." He replies smugly.

He's a bitch now, but there's always potential for improvement.

Especially with our careful guidance.

We will need to be especially careful to make sure he's on the right path for success, given our... habits.

And now the mental image of Ryouichi looking like Shinji is forever burned into my mind.

When/if he start pulling Ichigo level bullshit is going to result in some interesting mental images.

"We will do training, but without the montage! Try to focus your spirit powers and use them!" You explain making Ryoko look oddly at you.

"Yeah, I don't really know how to do that? It sort of just happens." She explains.

"Mine is sort of the same. I mean I know the feeling of it but I don' really know how it works." Akira explains.

"Want me to teach you Ryoko?" Ryouichi asks.

"Fuck off." She counters.

That's right, it was all instinctual for you. You want food, you go pew pew get food. The only thing that really required training was be tall from when you were a menos. They can't just eat souls and become stronger either, so that's a problem. Do you have any specific ideas for how they should train? Good ideas related to their powers will help, bad ideas unrelated to their power won't

He's referring to a certain fanfic.

Anyway, its far too late for that. We'd have needed to get them to him in his childhood for that to work.

What happens if we add some more of our poison or reiryoku to his system? Maybe it would trigger something.

Alternatively, we could trigger a "flashback" (illusion) to his parents' demise.

...damn. Evil is disturbingly easy, isn't it?

>>25542199
yeah I'm good with this

Create illusions of life or death situations (hollows). Hopefully the danger will trgger their abilities.

>>25542111
Are you sure they can't just eat souls? Have we considered ritualistically feeding them hollows? Like old ass "you killed your first deer, now you need to eat it's heart to gain it's power" type of deal?
Because, I think this is worth investigating.

>>25542206
Ryoko is the Berserker, Wuss er... Ryouichi is our orphan and Akira is... some dude.

I blame /tg/ for introducing that one to me.

Well, we know Ryoko's trigger is rage. Tell her we're going to have to get her ludicrous levels of angry. Find emotions that the others seem connected to, or begin the training smacking around.

>>25542231
Like, in a controlled setting? Maybe we can use a "training medallion" (just us) that was passed down from our family (the local dollar store) to make some fake hollows. Preferably rather tame at first, then ease them into scary shit.

I don't want us to seem too versatile, but if we can convince them we use tools, we can do more.

>>25542238
Maybe Ryoichi, but not the others.

>>25542334
KALI MA!

Yeah... we'll scare them all away.

>>25542342
Why not the friend? Aren't people at the school extra go-juiced because they've been around hollows and shit? If we put hollows and shit inside them, they should get more, right?

This seems like an excellent plan!

>>25542334
we could always make a Tesla coik

>>25542342
Slip powdered Sid the Squid into their food later?

>>25542406
A Hollow-powered tesla coil!

Genius!

Ryoko's power get's better from getting mad.

So we should just have her hang out with Ryoichi all day.

>>25542408
Eww
not sid
we need to use him a speaker system later

>>25542342
Let's make Ryoichi talk to Ryoko for 20 minutes so she get's pissed off.

Then we have Ryoko train against us for a little while to see how that anger helps her.

Then we mold that anger into a finely sharpened weapon over time.

For Ryoichi, we should have him recite situational poetry off the top of his head.

It'll help, probably.


For Akira, I don't know enough about the dude's powers to be certain, but maybe we can send some very low level energy-charged punches his way to see if he can detect and dodge the punches instinctively.

As I said you can't put more power into them. Besides, your go juice would drive them insane.

>>25542425
this is how we'll kill lucy when he betrays us like we know he will

>>25542433
But Sid's a squid. Japanese people eat that shit up all the time!

I just realized we could steal Urahara's 'regain your powers' training from right before the SS arc wholesale and be perfectly in character.

"First, I punch out your soul. Then, I chase you with a knife until you're good at running away. Then I cut the chain meaning you either man the fuck up or die horribly."

What makes it even funnier is that if they fail we could theoretically force-feed them hollows until they evolve up to our level-ish if they fuck up.

>>25542449
Which we don't want

>>25542448
This is a good idea.

>>25542465
This is also a good idea.

>>25542458
yeah
he also contains our crazy aids

>>25542477
no feeding them hollows
its a bad idea

>>25542497
If they fail the Urahara training, they'll be Hollows themselves.

>>25542448
I like this. Maybe pair off Angerchick with Akira and have touch sparring matches to see if he can read her?

>>25542465
>>25542477

To be completely clear, I'm not advocating doing it NOW, only later when we think it's time to level them up and/or it becomes necessary.

>>25542497

I'm agreeing here, just if they get hollow-fied for some reason, we should see if we can go that route instead/too.

>>25542537
Eventually we'll send them into HUEco and have our strongest hollows bugger off. The good thing about that is, once they're there, if they ever encounter us, we'll be rhymey and shapeshifty so they won't know it's us. Except maybe Akira, that one is somewhat dangerous to our secret ways.

>>25542519
who says we're doing that

>>25542465
Hell no, that only worked because Ichigo had shinigami powers.

Now should we act like we know what we're doing, or admit that it's a crapshoot since in cases like us, where everyone is different?

"For the first day, how about we just have you focus on your powers, allow yourself to try and summon them. Focus on your energies, the feelings you get when you use them, things like that." You explain.

"Still no idea what that means for me though," Ryoko objects.

"Just focus on what you were feeling when you punched me. That should do it." You explains.

"And me teacher? I mean, if I have to fight, but I don't want to. I'm sure we can all reach an understanding one day." He says glancing back as Ryoko makes a difficult face in thought.

"Yeah, well, just try your best?" You offer.

THEY TRAIN!
Not much progress was made though.


You bid them good night before making your way back to the shrine and continuing your work. You think it will be able to hold a few people reasonably comfortably soon.

You go to school

Let's chat up the twincies, maybe let it slip that we saw them bowing it up a few nights back.

>>25542667
Fabricate a book about spiritual stuff. Kind of like a log from your family. Use all the voices we've eaten to make different handwritings.
That way, if they ask we've got something concrete. If they want to know more about where we picked up this knowledge, we'll have an answer.

Maybe rhyming is Shinji's berserk button? We were doing so right after killing his parents. We should try it.

Also, I'm beginning to see Ryoko as Asuka. We now need a Rei (or Ree) for our Shinji.

>>25542667

By logic of elimination Akira is a clone of Ryoi's mom.

For christs sake.

If everyone wants Ryouichi to man up, there's a fairly simple way to start down that path. It's not kind, it's not pretty, but it will get them a message.

Show them a hollow hunting plusses. Let them watch what it is a Hollow does. Let them decide if they want to let that kind of shit happen.

He's too hung up on the smug self-satisfied intellectual fallacy that simply because Hollows have a semblance of intelligence, they can be reasoned with. Show them what they are now, show how they can't help themselves, how that intelligence in a base hollow is just used to guide it to eat and inflict suffering. Show em why they're called Hollows, and not Arrancar or shinigami or quincy's or humans.

>>25542938
Yeah that's a good point.

>>25542938
so guys what happens if for some reason they figure out that we are a super hollow, and potentially one of the most powerful things around?

>>25542938
So in other words, show him why he really balled up into a whimpering toddler when him and Akira got attacked.

>>25542938
Maybe letting him think hollows aren't all bad is a good thing. I mean, we're a hollow. If we teach him this hollow hate mindset when he's already apparently ready to give them a chance, won't that hurt our ability to manipulate him once we unveil our hollow-ness?

>>25542902

>>25542974
We start singing Never gonna give you up

>>25542849
I don't really see it either.

Can we stick a bleached soul into an empty teenage female gigai and enroll the emotionally undeveloped construct into his class?

>>25542983
I can see this being usefull
but it may kill him

>>25542983
We could explain that the more evolved hollows don't eat humans or normal ghosts at all, but instead eat other hollows.

>>25542983
This. The problem isn't that he like's hollows, it's that he pisses himself and then rationalizes his fear as "These are people too".

We just need to get him to win some fights. However, if we did get him attacked by a hollow because the group of us together look hella delicious and yummy because we're so filled with go-juice, then that might get him to be willing to fight.

You decide to keep an eye on the spider. Well, more of your eye. You are paying more attention to them, is what you mean. Despite the delinquent girl being back in class they continue to act normally, if anything they might be slightly avoiding her but nothing overt. They are being passive aggressive dicks. Tricky dick Nixon.

Apart from sneaking off every once and a while to grab a smoke Ryoko seems to be managing pretty well too.

It is now after class.

Roll 1d100 for training effectiveness. Best of first five.

We should be able to lure the Twincies to our club with a sufficient quantity of Hollow Go Juice...


now, Thinking on training... If we expose them to high spiritual pressure.... say, by opening an 'ancient gate' to Hueco Mundo, It may kick-start their own abilities.... though this is just a theory.

Something we could do, is train them physically. Use low powered flicks to encourage their subconscious to manipulate their Go Juice to dampen and deflect the energy...


>>25542938
For that, we could set up a 'feast' for the lesser hollows... have a few dozen souls feasted upon by half a dozen hollows... we can use our own abilities to 'conceal' the kids...

Goddamnit Azure, I was just whistling Moonlight Densetsu after reading that post.

>>25542983
It was true. Deep down, thats all there is to a scrub hollow. Can they change? Sure, but they've never seen it, and probably won't for a while. Hell, even most Arrancar tend to be really aggressive, even if possible to be reasoned with.

Ryoko there knows. She's had to deal with monsters like that all her life, seen that they'll attack even children to sate their hunger.

How they deal with it depends upon them. We aren't teaching them to hate hollows, or even trying to with this. We're trying to teach them to see the situation how it really is right now. And if he keeps spouting this deluded smugfag crap, RYOKO's going to go off on him before we ever do.

>>25543073
We could just show them a hollow hunting. We don't need to set it up, this stuff happens literally every day.

>>25543194
which is perfect

>>25543194
Let her. Their group is created. Whether or not they know it, they're bound together now. They only have each other.

These kinds of group struggles are best handled internally. Maybe we can push it along by telling Ryoko to talk to him about what a smug moron he's being.

>>25543194

We could present it as doing the Hollows a service. While a hollow, they retain intelligence and sapience; but even then, they can't control their hunger for human souls. At least, not for long. By destroying their semi-mortal forms, you are freeing their souls from their shells, allowing them to progress to the next stage of the afterlife.

And that's not completely false... just that we don't know what destroying Hollows does if it's not purified by a Soul Reaper.

Training goes... well not bad certainly. You manage to get her to get Ryoko to flare a bit and Akira seems to have his feelings down pat. Of course, they are still just random feelings. Ryouichi still seems to be a problem.

At this stage, however, you don't think you can make them any stronger without some real combat for them to get their feet wet in. As the club dismisses your brain nags you that there is something you have to do. Something... magical? Maybe?

What do you want to do now?

In the dead of night, spill our blood to make a respectably sized pentagram in a circle (our high-speed regeneration should allow us to spill a reasonable amount of blood).

And then, at the stroke of midnight, focus our go-juice on the blood sigil.

I agree, later when we've finished and we explain to them that it was all illusion, we can also tell Ryoko that's how we got that first hollow to bugger off. We made it think that there was something for it to eat elsewhere.

Alright why don't we call it here. I will take the most voted for next time, when ever that is. I already archived it, so that's a thing. Probably won't need a re-archive since it refreshes every two hours. This thread shouldn't be bumped off by then.

This is like the 'Baby-Mama' plan that was discussed: Funny to imagine, difficult and possibly retarded/impossible to try and implement.

>>25543683
>>25543678
yeah but it would cause shit to catch fire

We should head back to HUEco sometime to see how our kingdom is being run. It's been a while since we've gotten a status report.

First though, we should train our human scrubs up strong enough for them to take down hollows, that way they can get some of their own training in.

We've got illusions, why not take a stroll through town and fuck with people sometime.

>>25543691

I still want to do the 'Baby-Mama' thing.

Remember, Rukia (who was an average patrol level Shinigami)n didn't know shit about higher forms of Hollow life. I mean, the jig would be up if they ever talked to their boss, but between shape-shifting and illusions we could be a very convincing jerk in the meantime.

I mean, I doubt people are going to go for for it because apparently it's 'creepy' or something sadly, but it's fun to think about.

>>25543598
I'm not supporting this, but we should look into a hollow version of the science squad. We could use some cool soul-gadgets like the shinigami have to send agents into the real world without invoking the ire of the SS.

>>25543475
Training reigime:

1. Show them a Hollow in its natural habitat.

2. Throw weak spiritual attacks at them until they can deal with it.

3. Go around town dealing ghosts.

In between sessions of 2 and 3, try to learn how to punch souls out of bodies. And, more importantly, get them back IN the body.

4. Punch them out of their body, have them mess around as spirits until they're used to it.

5. Scare the shit out of them if they ever seem to have reached a barrier that they can't pass.

Individual training styles:
Ryoko: Get her mad or emotionally charged. Movies, maybe...?

Ryoichi: ???

Akira: ???

>>25543927
aye

>>25543836
Eh. I'd be fine with messing with Shinigami a little over the course of scoping them out.

>>25543956
I think it's more confrontational based. When she punched us is was because she thought it was a confrontation, and meta berserkers were filled with battle lust.

Ryouichi I have no idea about

Akira seems like a "Sink or Swim" thing.

>>25543956
Ryoichi: Put him in a place where he can't run from, force him to fight. Alternatively, get him to spar so he doesn't have to run.
Akira: throw shit at him until he gets better at moving/ knowing when shit's going to happen.

Also, physical exercise for everyone.

>>25544025
Let's just make them dig the training area our. That would be pretty good exercise.

>>25544073
We say "Well, in order for your spiritual powers to increase, you must first hone your physical body."

>>25544223
all the while sipping on refreshing drink

>>25544344
Wax on, wax off. Wax on, wax off

>>25544223
Fuse this with Kisuke's "Shattered Shaft."

Drop them in a hole: "Awaken your abilities, dig your way out, or starve."

The rage should be enough for Ryoko, and we may then have her assist us in taunting Shinji.

>>25544446
I think we need to get someone or something hit her. Like, a hellhound or something. Lucifer probably knows how to trigger it.

Shinji's a lost cause.

Please don't clutter other quests with Hollow Quest debate/speculation. It is seriously bad form.

Oh just get him a robot
all of his morals will melt away

People are going into other quests and talking about HQ?

lel

>>25544561
Are you speaking of the bleach quest?
I saw that, and it kinda pissed me off. Thank you for addressing this.

>>25544561
To be fair, it's not like BleachQuest is any good.

>>25544606
>you guys would win because you can reroll
>KUUUUBOOOOO Let's roll 100 times until we get 20s

>>25544587
>>25544600
Yes, I am. Seriously, the guy and his players are trying to have fun playing their game. Sort of a dick move to go in and write unrelated things.

>>25544615
>OH MAN FULL KUBO SO DIFFICULT
>Just keep rolling until you get 20s, I can wait.
>WHHOOOOOAAAAA ICHIGO WINS AGAIN!

>>25544621
>>25544561
Why are you bringing this up literally HOURS afterward when nobody's talking about it in Bleachquest any more?

>>25544652
I just got a chance to read through other quests and read that it took up 3/4ths of their last quest, then felt bad.

>>25544621
I just threw my opinion in
as they were all like
Risa vs ichigo who'd win
and I was like
well risa because rerolls
then I left
as I had this quest to follow
and I know the basic path that one is going to
cannon with somethings tweaked

>>25544662
dosen't look like three fourths to me
looks like about five posts
maybe ten

You suck.

>>25544667
Let's be honest, Risa would rape the shit out of Ichigo.

>>25544678
Ehh
I know

>>25544680
