BLEACH QUEST XXI>Ghost Mexico EditionPrevious threads archived: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=Bleach%20QuestBleach Quest Twitter: https://twitter.com/QuestOpThread (XII) at Suptg- http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/25667025/First, let me explain how dice rolls work here on Bleach Quest. I take the best of three, barring any Critical Successes or Critical Failures. If I have not yet asked for dice, and you roll anyway, your roll will count towards the next time I ask for rolls be it for good or ill. After I get three results for a roll, all others are discarded. Normally I take best of 3. If you delete rolls, I will discard that and take the second highest roll.>CRITICAL MASTER IFrom now on any and all crits, good or bad, within the first ten rolls are stored to be used on the next roll, exponential affecting it if there’s more than one.>In the BloodYou’ve awakened your inherent Quincy blood!>Sixth SenseTakes the first five rolls when searching for spiritual energySkills:>Shunpo - are currently at 562 out of 1500 for Rank 3 of Shunpo. >Swordsmanship - are at 614 out of 1500 for Rank 3 of Swordsmanship.

>I will start the arc once your experience has been spent.
Dios MiosUh, well, finish off the>{---- ----- ------------} -1500xp - 811 towards-hollowFor starters
>>25999238So does improving control negate our ability to boost our allies via social links?
>>25999227>5000 xpholy shit.
>>25999227>Controleverything into controlalso good afternoon OP
Hinamori's status.>>25999227>Quincy- you are currently at 839 out of 1000 for Rank 1.>{----} - 500 xp -hollow>{---- ----- ------------} -1500xp - 811 towards-hollow>Hollow powers- You are currently at 0 out of 1000 for Rank 2. Rest in Zanpakuto, if available.
>>25999227So... here's what I think.We should get (---) and {---- ----- ------------} so that we don't have to owrry about them any more.Rank 3 of Shunpo. Rank up Control, Quincy, and Sixth Sense and Sordsmanship?
>>25999227Unlock both Hollow skills. (1189)Rank Up:Kidou x 2Sixth SenseQuincyHollow PowersPut the rest into Hollow Powers...Rome
>>25999266Control is our ability to manipulate our spirit energy...something Ichigo usually lacks in canon.Seconding Finishing off {---- ----- ----------}Then Rank Hollow PowerThen Rank Quincy PowerThen Rank ShunpoRest in Control...unless I've estimated incorrectly.
>>25999311Er...When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
>>25999259689 towards High Speed Regenration161 towards Quincy355 towards Sixth Sense500 towards Cero1000 towards HollowTotal: 2705
>>25999316I thought the reason Ichigo boosted his allies was due to being unable to contain his spirit energy?
>>25999238Right off the bat we can upgradeControl down to the next level (including hollow skills) for 2988xpThis leaves us 2112xp to put towards either shunpo or swordsmanship.So we can get all the next upgrades we are currently working for aside from Zanpakuto and either Shunpo OR Sword
okay finish off {---- ----- ------------}and grab {----} Also level up control,Hollow powers, sixth sense, and Quincy. After that dump whatever is left into zanpakuto.
We should probably make the HSR and cero purchases then rank Quincy then pause to see what abilities ranking Quincy unlocked.
>>25999345Can't dump anything in zanpaktou.
Okay, upgrading Shunpo, Swordsmanship, control, quincy, sixth sense, hollow powers and getting high speed regen costs 3757 points. What do we want to do with the remaining 1243?
>>25999345Zanpakuto can only bve upgraded via training. We can't spend this xp on it.
>>25999324Seconding this. I would appreciate seeing if anything gets unlocked by quincy before further spending.
>sixth senseWhy do you want to do that, when crits determine how it works?
>>25999359Unlock newly revealed stuff from ranking Quincy and hollow?
>>25999340Yes, it's the reason his friend's powers happened because he couldn't control things, if he can control things, we can do amazing shit.Though in this game, their powers enhance by us building our social links.If we can control our power better, we can use it for more shit, probably.
Guys, we shouldn't spend all the points at once. We might be able to rank something and gets news skills because of it, so we should decide on what to buy and then rank something up, see if it unlocks something, rinse and repeat.
>>25999379A new level may change how the dice pool works, or make it easier to win without crits
Also, I know it's terrible metagaming and such, but all in favor of trying to make whats his name in the Menos Forest an ally say I?
>>25999324Thirding this, but let's throw 500 into Kidou.
1189 xp for the two remaining Hollow skills. We want to blend in, after all.Another 1000 for the first rank of Hollow powers.Top off control, 6th sense, and Quincy.After that, see what we unlock for skills. ALSOI suggest we adopt a pseudonym for our foray into the desert. Carlito may be a good option.
>>25999395If we can find him, then yeah, lets team up with Rambo.
>>25999395We've been talking about recruiting Survivalist Badass who only didn't get into manga canon because the editors pressed him for lowering page counts. Ashido is awesome, and we should bring him home for our not quite Outer Heaven.
>>25999227Also Cos you forgot to add: >King and the Horse II! Whenever you wear your mask, roll 2d20, and take the best of the two on the first three rolls. However, critical master only extends to the first five rolls... To the OP
>>25999395Ashido Kano? Yeah, he's a bro. May not like us if we reveal our mask.
>>25999383works for me. All of those upgrades are things we are going to grab eventually anyway. Might as well get them now.
>>25999411>>25999409We should mistaken him for a vizard because the dude likes to wear hollow masks.
>>25999402Based off of Hichigo's appearance: We are Shiro.
>>25999402perhaps we'll find some pleasant companions
>>25999402>Blend inWe're only staying long enough until we can use our mask, in which case we're headed back.Regardless of Chizuru having the power of a god, we're not ready for Hueco Mundo.
>>25999417But he has so many of them on his cloak.We'll cross that bridge if we come to it.
>>25999434You are now imagining Ichigo and Chizuru with those mustaches.
>>25999311rank shunpo again, too. speed is king
The only ones i want to run into while in ghost mexico are Nel and her cronies.
>>25999441While we're here, we might as well try to see if we can get a beat on Masaki. So in our leveling plan should be sixth sense.
>>25999432>Shiro>not BlancoTry to blend in.
>>25999449http://youtu.be/1jJsYbVBnaE
>>25999417Just pretend it's stolen off someone, just like his. We can explain later, after departing.
I just realised we can level everything we have (aside from Zanpukto) to the next level and have some left over.What do you say?
>>25999473This is what happens when you do Hogyoku, kidsYou get UNLIMITED POOOOWAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
I wonder if Rukia got samurai Jack'd here to undo the evil that is Aizen. someone brought it up a few threads ago, and its a pretty awesome concept
Unlock Hollow skills. It might cause our reiatsu to resemble that of a Hollow's more, making us less likely to being attacked by Hollows.Of course, they'll attack us if we're Hollows anyway, but it couldn't hurt.Also, what does our mask look like now?
>>25999488Winners can do drugs.
>>25999385I think the reason social links work is because of our leaky power.Although I guess just because we -can- focus our power doesn't necessarily mean we can do it unconsciously?Like I'm just worried we might close things off with Chad, Keigo, Tatsuki, and Mizuiro.
>>25999493I think we're up to maximum stripes.Probably won't reach true form until we get our Ressureccion.
>>25999470Exactly.
>>25999503Chad is already started down his path, and we must spend more time with him soon. Maybe after we get home & things have cooled for a bit, we can bust our Ichigo's infrequently used Guitar and see if Chad wants to help us practice, and then Jam for a few hours before going out to meet up with the others and crack some punks' faces along the way because they tried to mess with us.
>>25999324Lets do this and see if it unlocks any skills we care about, then spend the rest.
>>25999503I'm working under the assumption that we can relax our control at will (and automatically do so while social linking). Hopefully Cosgrove will set me straight if this isn't the case.
>Raising control will not affect social links.
>>25999569Forget your trip, or was this posted earlier?
>>25999522It occurs to me, that our Ressureccion if we get it will differ between 3 possible states.If we up our control enough to seal Zangetsu in base form again that would provide Ressureccion 1.Regular Shikai stage Ressureccion.Bankai stage Ressureccion.
>>25999324Agreed with this.Unless something really nice opens up, I would like to put the remaining to:938 to Shunpo Rank 3886 to Swordsmanship
>>25999569If that's so, then >>25999324but 483 towards Control, resulting in a total of 3188.
>>25999601Toss in Control and I agree.
>>25999601seems legit
>>25999569forgot trip
>>25999601>>25999635Second, third, whatever we're up too.
>>25999227689 - High speed regen83 - control2500 - Hollow 4938 - shunpo161 - quincyDump the last 629 into shunpo
>>25999601Am I the only one who wants to put a some xp into kidou.
Unless my math is off, we can buy all of the hollow upgrades and rank up everything besides kido and zanpakuto with 388 exp left over, which we should put into zanpakuto, and if we can't then we can put it into our quincy rank or swordsmanship since that's what we use the most anyways.
>>25999690No spells currently known, anon.
>>25999635+1ing this
>it looks like, for sure, you all want >{----}>{---- ----- ------------} -1500xp - 811 towards-hollowand a rank in>Hollow>Quincy>Sixth Sense>Control>shunpoand then see what happens?
>>25999686yes
>>25999722sure
>>25999722fucking trip, stay on there
>>25999722Forgot the trip again?
>>25999722Lets do this thing.
>>25999722Yep.
So are people good with>>25999324or maybe>>25999620And seeing where that gets us?
>>25999734Also, yes, that looks good
>>25999722Yes.
>>25999722Yes.Also your trip went poof again.
>>25999722Do it
>>25999722Jawohl.
>>25999722Indeed.
>>25999795>teal'craisingeyebrow.jpg
>>25999722More or less. I'd rather we double bump hollow but oh well
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbCvn1ltD0U&list=PL8D0E22F0245EAC1BLet us set the mood.
>>25999839As Momo would tell us, it is better to diversify one's skill set than to over specialize, cunning Gish that she is.
>>25999843That reminds me, I wonder if Ulquiorra is still wandering the desert in an existential haze at this point in time.
>>25999900We have no idea, I guess we will find out, among other interactions as we get a move on.
>>25999900Lets try to avoid him if possibleAlso, 26 mil get soon, maybe we'll get it
>>25999919I hope not.
>>25999941I kinda hope so.
>>25999941Why?
Rolled 18We probably will
>>25999965Well, I know what we're rolling for spirit sense.
>>25999948Epeen.
Rolled 7>>25999979I was
Rolled 14>>25999979A tRoll?
>>25999999>>26000000Well done.
Hey guys, how about this?We GTF out of Ghost Mexico.The Bounts could attack Kurakura town at any moment!
>>26000000ANNNNNDD WE HAVE OUR GET!
>>25999999>>26000000What >>26000014 said
Stop rolling
>>25999941>>25999947>>26000000IhihaHA! We just did!
>>26000018Oh no. Are we in the anime cannon instead of the manga? Damn, that changes a few things...
>>26000019Truly such an event should do nothing but good things for this episode.If this was an american cartoon, they'd stop the action, break the fourth wall, and thank the audience!
Just so you all know-Last thread was fucking terrifying. More so for me because after a certain point, I couldn't respond due to technical difficulties, and so was forced to watch in horror as events unfolded.But you came through, anonymous.Fuck yeah.Now, on to Mexico!Hoping we stumble upon GhostRambo soon enough, because that guy is what we need in a situation like this.How he doesn't have shikai, or even fucking bankai, after decades of that, I will never know.
>>26000047Cosgrove is most familiar with manga, but due to FULL KUBO, appearance of anime and film concepts cannot be discounted.
>>26000047>in anime canonFUCK thats even more bullshit then normal, also doesn't that mean also that soul society's utterly fucked without us showing up?
>>26000063>How he doesn't have shikai, or even fucking bankaiHow long have you been operating under the impression that he doesn't have a bankai?
>>26000063He spoke to his collections of hollow masks more then his sword I guess.
>>26000018This assumes massive time shenanigans between Kurakura and Hueco Mundo unless the Bounts want to move up their schedule by over six months.
>>26000047we should get out ASAP anyway. we left everyone kinda unexpectedly
>>26000084I don't think that would be a problem considering where we are right now.
>>26000072We have no fucking clue what's going on.We're so out of the loop that we're wandering the desert with our cool gay friend.We're going to need multiple gaiden threads for this.
>>26000063honestly i was scared shitless when we got REALLY close to dying when the whole shit with us trying to filter hongyouku thing happened and we were rolling like ass.
>>26000072>Soul Society so crippled by dealing with Bounts, Valley of Screams, etc they can't be bothered by chasing us>Save them anyway because we're the god damned hero
SKILL UPDATE!http://pastebin.com/etq4kyMk
>>26000047We are in KUBO cannon, so god knows.Personally that Harrabeil and Nelliel back-story from Happy to Serve you could stand to included as well
>>26000063While we are here, we should try to search for Masaki, once Cosgrove sorts out our earlier stated XP spending.We're here, we might as well look around with sixth sense...she doesn't have Quincy powers, but she has a hollow that should feel the same as ours inside of her, additionally, until recently she was connected to Isshin by a reishi string, so we should look for a broken red spirit thread.
>>26000094Agreed.We kind of left our two girlfriends holding the rope to a Captain, and since Urahara was "delayed", no backup.
>>26000105I swear to fucking GOD, trip!
>>26000102yeah....
>>26000066Well, Anime Continuity lets us meet Shinigami Rambo...
>>26000111We're only staying here until we can make another Garganta, and Chizuru can either come back with us, or is no longer a suicide risk.
>>26000127>Shinigami RamboExcuse my ignorance, but who?
>>26000119Can still put points in? If so>{----- -----} -shunpo -1500 xp- defense>1274xpDump that into there.
>>26000119I still want to get Kido and swordsmanship but I figure we can probably move on now.Also is that rock still inbedded in Chizuru and if so how does she currently appear?
>>26000138Ashido, he's a Shinigami who has been stranded in the Menos Forest for a long ass time. He shows up in what we thought was just a short HC filler segment during the march on Las Noches...turns out it was content cut from the comic because Kubo's editors wanted to get to Las Noches.He is a boogeyman to the hollows, and wears their severed mask as cloak and armor.
>>26000143dat flash step
re-posting. Stay the fuck on this time, trip!http://pastebin.com/etq4kyMk
>>26000143second
>>26000105We've got enough left to rank up Swordsmanship, so lets do that and call it good.
>>26000166>http://pastebin.com/etq4kyMkDump remaining points into Flash Step.
>>26000171Seconding this sentiment. I don't think the points are enough to unlock that Shunpo skill.
We should probably wait for putting anything into Quincy special abilities until we get back and train together with the Magical Girl.Personally I think we should put the XP into Shunpo special ability, as additional defense will likely be useful in not getting our asses kicked in the future.
>>26000163Dude, that's fuckin' badass.
>>26000081>>26000080And the thread is off to a good start- I'm already laughing.Seriously, though, if he does have shikai or bankai, and is just killing Menos with his sealed sword, that man is the epitome of badass.>>26000127>>26000066Ashido WAS Kubo Canon, though- he's Kubo's personal creation for the anime that he couldn't put in the manga due to time constraints.>>26000104>valley of screams>implying that if I have anything to say about it, that will ever become a problemThe valley of screams wasn't a problem until Ganryu and his gang of chucklefucks started messing with it. Then the sky turned upside down.>>26000103That whole. Fucking. Thread.That whole THREAD.FUCK.Terrifying to watch unfold in real time with no input at all.
>>26000171this
Rolled 1Hey guys I have a gift for you
>>26000166>>26000171Get the next rank of Swordmanship
>>26000193On second thought, let's up Swordsmanship and put the rest into the Shunpo skill.
>>26000105>http://pastebin.com/etq4kyMkHmmm...>Speed Clone (?)>Bala or Gran Rey Cero>Sonido>Hirenkyaku 1So we can learn two new ways of gofast?
>>26000217I can live with that.
>>26000119>I swear to fucking GOD, trip!Laughing because this reminded me of the end of Mario Warfare Ep. 2. They cast the perfect Luigi (everyone else is excellent, but the guy in green steals the show).Anyhow, I'd say either rank swordsman and save the rest or bank it all towards flash step.
>>26000171agreed
>>26000166So, we can only have Bala OR Gran Rey Cero?I'm not sure what the other skills are.>>26000177>>26000164That's not Flash Step. 1 too many letters.
>>26000219>SonidoCould also be (Hierro)?
>>26000217That's fine also.
>so swordsmanship rank with rest into shunpo skill? If good, I'll get to posting XXI
>>26000205Bad joke, beautiful picture. Thank you for the latter.
>>26000240Sounds good.
>>26000240Hell yes good sirLet us know of the situation we are in that we may make a choice of your options or write in.
>>26000231>So, we can only have Bala OR Gran Rey Cero?I assume so since One is a fast shot and the other is basically a nuke.
{------}-hollow -2000xp-utility>Hierro or Sonido{----} or {---- --- ----} - Hollow -1500xp -offense>Bala or Gran Rey Cero{----- -----} -shunpo -1500 xp- defense{---------- 1}- Quincy-1500xp -utility>Ransōtengai puppet
>>26000219gotta go SUPERfastAlso, are we still debating where to dump points?Because I'm all for Bala and Sonido.
>>26000240Yes. And thank you for running this Cosgrove. You are awesome. And a little evil, but that keeps the quest interesting and somehow serves to underline the awesome.
>>26000263But people had both in canon. And special unique cero variants
>>26000235I'd think that'd be defense?
>>26000270Hierro is the iron skin ability right? That wouldn't be listed under utility, it'd be defense.
>>26000240Yes.We more than just "competent" now.
>Hierrobut we have Blut...Can we combine the two?Please tell me we can combine the two.
http://pastebin.com/etq4kyMkupdated!Going to write now, have it out in a jiffy!
>>26000235Nah, it'd be marked "Defense" rather than "Utility."
>>26000240>>26000205Hey Cosgrove? Does this count
>>26000312It's a 1d1
Yay! We just unlocked a swordsmanship perk!
>>26000298now its fully up to date
>>26000323yeah, if you want to troll properly, at least make it a 1d2O
>>26000293I feel like I have to question how we improved in swordsmanship, when we barely swung our damn sword the whole fight, besides using Getsuga Tenshou.Although to be fair, neither did Hitsugaya, after our blut deflected his first cut.
>>26000325It sounds neat. I want it.
Random question on skills: The fuck does leveling them actually do? We still use 1 die out of 3 on all tests, exempting crits which swing the roll one way or the other. So what do we get out of leveling skills besides picking up abilities?
>>26000344gameplay and story separation. Every XP system suffers from this to some degree.
>>26000354Well, now we use best of five for sword attacks
>>26000354it effects how he writes our fight and stuff.
>>26000328>(glorious two handed method} - 2000xp -offense -swordsmanshipYou brilliant bastard. I have to clean a spit take off my screen now. And I can't wait to meet up with Kenpachi.
>>26000328I just realized that we have "Critical Master I." That implies the existence of "Critical Master II." That scares me.
>>26000373That is a horrifying thought. what would it be? crit on 19 and 20 but fail on 1 and 2?
>>26000354More story paths to go down.
>>26000354>http://pastebin.com/etq4kyMk>Expert Swordsman! - You take best out of five rolls when fighting with a sword, though not when using special techniques such as Getsuga TenshouWe now have 5 die to work with when use just the sword. And 6 die with hollow from. The question is do these two stack to give us 10 die in hollow from to work with?
Can we use Cero outside of being masked?
>>26000354In theory they'd provide a certain degree of buffs that can negate the pain of failure?
>>26000383I hope not. Critical master one is already bad for us statistically.
>>26000390Never mind I'm derp.
>>26000390Thats an excellent question.
>>26000392Probably not.
>>26000392I don't think so. I'm pretty sure we need our mask to access our hollow abilities.
>>26000373>Crit Master II - all crits are doubled
>>26000390Due to stacking crits, that would be bad actually. Say what you will about BFQ (and I've said a lot) we learned a lot about dice curves.
>>26000372YEEEEEEES
>>26000390Eh...God that strikes me as a terrible way to do things, but changing it would be worth more heartbreak than leaving it would.
>>26000383Seems likely. Other possibility is that it comes out of the first 20 rolls, instead of the first 10.
>(glorious two handed method} - 2000xp -offense -swordsmanshipDon't know if want. I still ike the idea of us using our sword as a giant flail.
You looks around this nighttime wasteland ,but all you see is white sand and dead trees. You’re tired, dead exhausted really, and sore. You don’t think you’ve ever been hurt and drained this bad before. Not to mention, trying to drain Chizuru of that power fried you. Your powers don’t seem the same. That’s… worrying.However, what’s more worrying is that you’re in the homeland of hollows and you’re running empty. You need to find shelter. For both you and Chizuru.But all you see is a wasteland, but from the moon overhead, you're able to, barely, discern direction.Which direction do you go in?>North>south>east>west
>>26000407True. Until we evolve our hollow into an arrancar. Then all bets are off.

>>26000472Thanks for all that help you've given us since the quest began.
>>26000477>Spirit SenseLongs I second the idea of using it. I think we'll feel something coming from all over. Just the question which way has the least powerlevel, as it were.
Meanwhile, on Toonami, OMZ and Hichigo did the fusion dance
>>26000436you want. we're buying after shunpo skill
>>26000485Truthfully, I don't.
Hey Cosgrove, what are the odds that we'll be flipping back and forth between us and those we left behind?There's a lot that has been going on in this story, and it would be criminal to not fully explore this remaining.
>>26000439Lift Zangetsu over our head, twirl it around and then throw it with our eyes closed (while still keeping the bandage wrapped around one of our hands)Go in whatever direction it winds up pointing.
>>26000507And now, Don Kanonji
>>26000522I hope so. I want to see Dad waking up Mr Captain.
>>26000518 While fighting one of the Espada, Kenpachi realizes he is outclassed as he is...so he has to use /that/ technique old man Yamamoto taught him. The technique you ask? It was...Kendo. "Hey, did you know that if you swing your sword with BOTH hands, you hit harder?" "What, everyone knows that!" "I don't think you do" /smiles/
>>26000464Yeah, that was a poor choice of words due to me skimming over the hollow powers update on our skills sheet. What I'm trying to say is that weir hollow powers will probably stay masked only until we grow past the need for a mask. You're absolutely right that the next hollow level is probably Vasto, followed by a ~10k purchase priced option or arrancarize.
>>26000390basically hollow form gives you three rolls of 2d20. This gives you, when normally used outside of that makes it first five dice rolls.When masked and swordsmanshipping it, your first five rolls are counted, which means that it extends out to the same amount as ciritcal master in hollow from, but if no crits, best of those first five is taken.
>>26000544Oh /that/. Alright... I guess. But giant flail.
>>26000559
>>26000522This. Even I did a small side story for my players when they wanted to see what they missed out on even though I only showed them the one thing that wouldn't reveal what their choices brought about.
>>26000564That's not the image I wanted... but okay...
Looking at Ichigo's underwater wonderland in the current episode, I wonder what our inner world looks like now.I mean we had a REALLY great last night and morning, and technically our girlfriends and us beat Hitsugaya without even suffering any serious injuries, plus we refused to give up on our friend.But on the other hand, lot of depressing and traumatizing stuff happened.
>>26000541That would be an awesome scene, but who would we play as? Momo? Orihime? One of our sisters (Karin)?
..I am working on an interlude, by the way.don't think I wouldn't do that for you all.

>Spirit sense>20You use your dwindling strength to try to avoid any and all possible confrontations, but when you use your sixth sense, you see that there is a giant impossible huge amount of those giant hollows to the west. There’s also several very large signatures to the north. Less, but stronger.There’s also two to the south and one to the west
>>26000719*one to the east
>>26000586PRAISE BE HIS NAME!I have been craving these since we learned the basics of what's going on with Rukia. I crave to learn more about this world we have warped and twisted.
>>26000719>There’s also two to the south and one to the westDon't you mean East?Otherwise that means the East is clear and safe.
Rolled 1>>26000719For the sake of Safety, go to the west.
>>26000719can we tell if any are not hollows, or feel off somehow? if yes, go there. otherwise, south
>>26000719Go East.
>>26000739Damn your eyes
>>26000719Well, east seems to be the least bad choice.
>>26000739Shit, forgot to turn dice off.
>>26000719>West=Menos Forest>North=Barragan>South=Starrk>East=UlquiorraI'd say based on in-character knowledge, East is our best bet.
>>26000719East seems to be the choice he-->>26000739...You son of a bitch. Why would needlessly roll...ESPECIALLY WHEN WE'RE FUCKED UP AS IS?
MEANWHILE IN THE WASTES:"Man I'm bored... I wish I had someone to hang out with..."
>>26000739Really? You didn't learn in the last thread when you did the same thing? Really?
>>26000757Isn't the Menos forest underground?
>>26000765Id be Stark's friend
>>26000719>>26000730Then, eastwards we go!>>26000739I guess dice thinks West is a bad idea.
>>26000719East or South. Either is fine.
>>26000719So just how big a crater did Chizuru leave, and are there hollows converging on our location?
well as long as we don't go north-east then we're good. Cause that is BAD DIRECTION where evil comes from.
>>26000719Fuck it, lets go Southeast, since that seems the emptiest area, given that we could bypass all three.
>>26000782An explosion of power that intense... they're probably all running away.
>>26000719south or west. strong is worse than lots
I vote south, cause Stark is a bro
>>26000719>westmaybe Barragan, with his court. That seems more likely.East and west are either Harribel (She has a strong presence, but her group wouldn't, compared to her) , Ulquiorra (he's the One) and Staark (the Two).North might also be Harribel or Grimmjow, with his pack of hollows.I'll refrain from voting, since this is meta, but I just wanna say-This is our chance to meet Sharktits.Or The Lone Ranger.I personally would love for us to hang out with either, but we'd die just from getting near staark at this rate.
>>26000719West or Southless signatures there are the easier time we might have of sneaking through.
>>26000719south or north
>>26000782>smaller hollows are avoiding it. And pretty big. Somebody will probably have noticed that. Staying put is probably a bad idea.
>>26000765>fucking around in the wastes>walk into starrk on accident>we become buddies with him>we have a horde of folks to chill with in hueco mundo and when people find us we hae a smal retinue of arrencarit would be funny as fuck personally.
>>26000719south, and hope we can Peacewalker Starrk
>>26000832Are we respiring/regenerating go juice here? Can't remember if that was a thing or not in cannon...
>>26000719I say go south because lone wanderers are always bad news.
>>26000821He said 'giant hollows'.You dare imply that the king of Hueco Mundo would waste his time with Gillian?
>>26000719Are all of them hollow signatures? Can we tell what the signatures are?
>>26000850True...if there is nothing else but the single source...we may want to avoid said single source of power.
>>26000821i think we'd be alright near starrk personally because we just dealt with hongyouku chizuru whos much more powerful comparatively i'd thinkso yeah, i'd imagine we could be buddies theoretically.
>>26000850That... might be a good point?If it's one strong presence, it could be because they've killed everything in the general area.Two may imply that they have some concept of camaraderie?But it might be kind of metagaming, so I say southeast.
>>26000860The ones to the north and south feel more like Momo when she wears her mask, but definitely remind you of hollows. The west is giant hollows and the east is one powerful singular hollow... you think.
>>26000873At full power, we could no doubt chill with Starrk, but running on empty is a no-go.
>>26000719South.Just one signature, a lone person out in this wasteland? Probably bad news.
>>26000895Are we only sensing hollows?Yeah, yeah. Metagaming again and all that... but hey, Ash has like... more expierence then us in being in Hueco Mundo without turning into a monster of some sort.
>>26000895Let's head east and say hello.
>>26000895>>26000719Then we head south. It might be someone that shares our condition. Maybe even Shinji. Failing that, it's only two signatures which we might be able to avoid if we sense something's wrong when we get closer.
>>26000918We'll look for spirit threads and non hollows after we've had a chance to recover and get ourself back in fighting shape as well as find out if Chizuru is okay/in control/what the hell happened to her?
>>26000895South.Based on this alone, South.As far as we know, Hollows don't travel in pairs- but these feel like more than hollows, so there's some hope there.
>>26000895So, south is Stark and Lillinette.North is too populated.East is...Ulquiorra or Halibel? A vastolorde.
>>26000934>fourthing, revoking my earlier statement of west.
>>26000958North is probably Baragan's court
>>26000934logical conclusion with no metagamingI dig it
>>26000719If we go south west could we avoid both? We really don't want to be meeting anyone with how run down and out we are.
>>26000958Though we killed that one giant hollow pretty easily didn't we? A bunch of weaklings could be better than a couple really strong things?
Either west or south.
>>26000988Technically southwest or southeast are options as well.
>>26000984We are drained and we think our powers and abilities might be shot or be going haywire.We're in no shape for ANY fight. Be it with an Arrancar army or a small child.
Still holding out for running into Harribel somehow.
>>26000958I bet south is those two ridiculous asholes. Dondachaka or whatever and that other guy.
>>26000984There's "a bunch," and then there's "a bunch."
>>26001013No, they're nel's fraccion
So South is possible Stark and Lily.West is probably the Menos Forest.... I think those are the least likely, actually, to get us killed.South is just Stark. West we run into Rambo...
>>26001023The East.The east is burning red.
>>26001008Maybe when we aren't a gentle breeze away from falling over?
Given what we know, South. Or trying to reopen a garganta ASAP.
>southLooking around you decide that, based on what you’ve felt, it would be best to go south. The north is too populated, the west is giant fucking hollows and the east is a very fucking powerful hollow. And you’re at almost empty.The south might have other people like you, people who have gained hollow masked. Maybe they might even be allies.But it isn’t safe to stay here. Who knows when the little hollows will go investigate or, worse, the big ones will.No, best to try to find a cave to the south to rest and check on Chizuru. You pick her up in a princess carry and start trudging to the south.>roll me 2d20 first is endurance and speed, the second is ability to find shelter.

>>26001299It was a risk/reward situation. We willingly risked a horrible fate by taking the perk, but the bet paid off.The risk mitigates the need for a cost.
>>26001299The "cost" is losing the peace of mind that being able to ignore a crit fail brings for the rest of the thread.

>>26001258and yet we still can't use it to find shelter.Because that fail was TWO ones.Wait.We can cancel one of the ones, the other one cancelled a twenty, and then we take the next best score.Just a thought.Not saying we should do it, only that we could.
>>26001344We rolled three ones and a twenty on the second set
>>26001344No. Save it for later...if Stark attacks or needs Diplomancy.
>>26001327I think I could only agree with this if I'd seen Cosgrove roll for the utility of the perk.

>yes>13You set Chizuru down in the far corner, taking off your kosode ad laying it under her head as a pillow. You give her a look over, trying to assess her condition. Though she’s got tears in her clothes, especially where the black orb is situated, her clothes are still functional. But what’s more worrying is the fact that she’s feverish and unconscious, not waking. Was it from the orb, or was it from her overstressing herself earlier? You’re not sure, but you’re certain it isn’t good. However, there isn’t anything you can do either. You’ll have to wait it out for her to break the fever or…Your hands clasp the one of hers next to you. “Please, Chizuru. Don’t give in.”Letting go, you look around the cave but see nothing of use. You’re in the far corner, hard to see from the entrance of the cave.You’re also extremely tired and need to rest.>sleep?>yes>no
>>26002267Ichigo effectively lives in an urgent care center, he's seen some badass triages and when he was young probably did a lot of what Karin and Yuzu do for their dad now...though without an adorable kid's nurse outfit.

>>26002342yes
>>26002342No- we don't sleep. Not unless Zangetsu can wake us if something happens.Can Zangetsu do that, by the way?
Rolled 2, 10, 20, 6 = 38>>26002342Sleep, we won't do much even if we got attacked.

>>26002342"Zangetsu...I'm running low on steam...I know you are too...but...but please try to wake me if we get company..."Sit immediately against Chizuru, facing the entrance, sword across our lap, watching the entrance until we can't fight the dreams anymore."Zangetsu...I'll keep my promise...my friends will always be precious to me"
>>26002389No, but you haven't heard much on that front since you grabbed Chizuru to suck out power and you and they were screaming in agony.
>>26002342>noTry to find some source of water, or at least some cool stones. We nee to lower her temperature.
>>26002342If we were in better condition, I'd suggest staying awake to keep watch...but that just ain't happening. Sleep, Strawberry, and rest.
>>26001998>Why is a deer hanging out with them anyway.Because sharktits has a surprisingly admirable philosophy. "I don't want to become stronger through the power I gain by killing and sacrificing another."
>>26002342We probably shouldn't willingly sleep, but we probably will have great difficulty staying awake
>>26002342Can we use Zangetsu's hilt wrap (the wavy ribbons thing) to secure the enterence to this room? An least it should give us some notice if someone tries breaking down the door to get in.
>>26002416Which makes her one of the best Espada.
>>26002409Shit we sevearly damaged or killed them. Alternatively they merged and Hollowbro is gone forever.

>>26002416>>26002427It makes her a lock and stock Shonen heroOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH I see.
>>26002429If we killed them, our sword would have shattered.Since our power is all but gone, and they ARE our power, they're probably too weak to manifest for a while.

Rolled 2, 14, 7, 7 = 30>>26002495fuck, messed up.
Guys, in canon, even when Ichigo got his ass kicked, he still had a lot of power to spare. It's just that it couldn't negate the damage to his body.But now us?We're on empty. And we have a LOT to recover.Due to having Hollow/Quincy powers, we're in the best location possible to regain our abilities, but it'll probably be at least several more days before we're good enough to find our own way home.
>>26002342We probably shouldn't go Jinzen, but if my teenage years of insomnia have taught me one thing it's that deep meditation can tide one over a lack of sleep.Let's enter a trance.

>>26002527>Implying the hougyoku has given her permission to die
>>26002518I am now imagine Ichigo in an adorable orderly uniform with cap, complaining to dad how stupid he looks, but Masaki telling him he looks great and giving him that smile that causes Ichigo to be able to do nothing but smile in return.

How hard would it be to put on the mask again?
>>26002549>Momo and Hime walk in>Make him crossdress from then on for every session due to how slimming he looks in girls close and how they emphasize his tight ass.

>>26002582The keyword is 'orderly uniform' which in this case means scrubs.

>restYou sit next to Chizuru, Zangetsu on your lap, and try to keep yourself between her and the door. You try to keep vigil, but you’re body is too tire to keep going. Against your will you find yourself falling asleep.When you wake up, it is to the sounds of voices. Groggily opening your eyes, you see four… things in front of you. Trying to focus, you see that it is four hollows? One seems to be a giant snake, another looks like a lion and another looks like a deer. The last one has shark-like features, but looks humanoid. And, even from here, you can tell that it is strong. The four of them seem to be arguing over something. Probably you and Chizuru.You feel like you’ve only recovered less than a fifth of your strength, but as you look about, they hollows draw quiet, looking at you. To your side, Chizuru is still unconscious.>Actions?

>>26002621Yay, Sharktits!...OH FUCK, SHARK TITS!We can't be sure, but they seem to be more...reasonable...than the other Hollows we've encountered. Slowly but surely get into a position that establishes "yeah, I'm fucked up right now, but I'll be DAMNED if I'm letting you have her without a fight."
>>26002644>>26002638They've obviously been here a while, so not sure about that.

>>26002621Strain to rise...vision still swimming."I'm Kurosaki Ichigo...who're you. I didn't mean to intrude if this is your home...but my friend and I are injured and don't belong in this world...we'll be gone...and mean no harm...but I will defender her and myself if need be,"
>>26002655Forgot to add. Put on the mask to speed up healing.
>>26002621"Don't mind me. We're just making sure the secret cave is up to secret cave standards."Stand between Chizuru and the Hollows. One hand on Zanpaktuo but not being overly threatening.

Rolled 19>>26002621Lets try and be as diplomatic as possible. No threats or mention of combat. 'Cause we'll get stomped.
>>26002723Nah, not nearly enough time for that.Vasto Lorde takes years upon years.Hell, just getting from Gillian to Adjuchas takes years. From there to Vasto Lorde is even further.That's not something that can be done in less than a decade.
>>26002723I think I can free safe agreeing that Harribel isn't Masaki.
>>26002621"Good morning. I'm Ichigo, and who might you be?"Lets stay non-threatening and civil. If they didn't attack us in our sleep then they're probably at least willing to talk.
And thus Chizuru's harem arrived.Take no aggressive actions. This group seems more intent on talking rather than murder. Maybe we can use that to our advantage or even a new ally as we work to escape. Lord knows we need all the help we can get here.
>>26002723That's been my assumption (and for people talking about her brown skin and blonde hair, do you really think that Grimmjow and Syazelapporo had that hair color as a human? Or Nnoitra was so freaky looking in general).But Cos's definitely not going to do a twist like that unless it turns out to actually be true to the manga (which is very unlikely).

>>26002778Technically, shouldn't Masaki's Hollow look like Ichigo's hollow. Based on the mask shape/pattern of the White that attacked her. It should look something like a female version of the full body thing that Ichigo becomes, but with different mask markings and boobs.
>>26002778Ichigo isn't even a full Shinigami. Never use Ichigo as a measuring stick. Ever. Plus he had scientific help.If you're talking about Masaki becoming Harribel naturally, then it's pretty much not possible.

>>26002802I didn't, I was looking for an excuse to post more pre-arrancar pictures....shit...they're still Hollow, and the Hogyoku is right here, and in her sleep, Chizuru may be dreaming of babes.
>>26002791I'm still not fully down for giving all four to Chizuru.Not even entirely sure they swing that way, rather than just being dedicated to their commander.
>>26002736Yeah this.
>currently rewatching harribel anime history episode. Apologies for a bit of a delay, as I'm writing between that and this to make sure I get things right.>so shield Chizuru and try diplomacy?
>>26002819Are you implying that Chizuru is going to subconsciously arrancarify them?
>>26002800>Plus he had scientific help.And it's not like there's a certain someone who experiments on Hollows or anything. And it's not like he has a connection to the same Hollow that claims to have taken Masaki captive.
>>26002836Yes.
>>26002836Sounds right yeah.
>>26002836Don't bother shielding her directly.They could have eaten her and us in our sleep.
>>26002836Yeah pretty much
>>26002836>so shield Chizuru and try diplomacy?Yes.
Well /tg/, you wanted to try and diplomacy the Shota with murder eyes and that didn't work.Now you want to try it with a group of 4 eating murder machines. Ya why not. We're shit for strength now anyway and maybe we can get bluff to work.
>>26002836...yes to diplomacy rolls...
>>26002836Yup.
>>26002836>>so shield Chizuru and try diplomacy?Ayup
>>26002836Yeah, but don't immiedately point our sword at them. Have it ready, but make no threatening moves.
>>26002836Eh, maybe just kind of subtly stand in front of her?
>>26002789>then it's not impossible that Masaki is the best at eating souls.Well, Quincy evolution /is/ always going into the direction of making the user more and more adept at parasitic energy consumption.
>>26002836That seems to be the consensus.
>>26002872...Harribel isn't a murder machine.
>>26002872but they're murder machines that specifically did NOT murder us!That's the IMPORTANT bit!
>>26002872Technically Harribel isn't a soul-eater anymore.I'm pretty sure Vasto Lordes no longer have the hunger.
>>26002872I would like to point you to this post's image.>>26001234
>>26002872There's a reason "/tg/ will always try to talk a problem down" made it into the Questing Guide doc. It's true 99% of all cases.
>>26002899>>26002894We don't know that buckaroo>>26002895this guy gets is
>>26002915...We have a document for that now? Link please.
GUYS. We've forgotten the most important potential asset of all.Do we have...the hat?
>>26002942Ahahaha. No.
>>26002942We're a spirit. So no.I imagine Hime is clutching it sobbing her eyes out right now though at the thought of us having evaporated along with her friend.Momo... well momo grabbed a scarf and headed up to the office room a few hours ago...
>>26002942Shit. We need to put on the hat!
>>26002942Kai, who has our body, has The Hat.Our fates lie in the hands of our words and this woman.
>>26002899She does, actually- she's intentionally starving herself so she doesn't end up killing anyone she doesn't have to, and so that others don't become her power.
>>26002915...Why even bother writing that down?Of course we'd try to avoid conflict, especially if we know the person we're fighting is being misled.
>>26002938Not him.Had for some time, but I can't find the link right now. It's pretty good.
>>26002915It's because /tg/, especially in Quests based on existing settings, wants to get all the cool characters as allies, or at least regulars. Don't think for a second we won't be trying to get Gin to join us by pointing out we're a much more SANE option for revolution in Soul Society than Sosuke "I can't get laid even though I have 100% effective hypnotism and a girl who blatantly wants my initial release" Aizen.
>>26002998It's also because typically we're not dicks who want to kill people for being in our way?
>>26002938Yep.https://docs.google.com/document/d/1emQ6IYzRYN4MG45Zl9a-0UH0ARuWLaBB_U924NXc-DY/pub>>26002979It's a guide intended for QM who just start out, so ALL kinds of things are in it.>>26002981>Had for some time, but I can't find the link right now. It's pretty good.It's usually in the QTF OP. At least in QTGs made on weekends that allow themselves to be filtered.
>>26002998I always thought Gin was trying to kill Aizen because his goons raped Matsumoto.
>>26003018...except for the start of Hollow Quest Redux as Schrodinger. That was fun.
>>26002998Gin isn't with Aizen because he wants revolution. He was with Aizen because Aizen's goons took some sort of spirit energy from his waifu
>>26003036They took part of her soul- Rape may or may not have occured.I tend to try to not think about it.But it would explain a lot of things about both of them.
>>26003040Well yes, we really enjoyed being a hollow.Shame that kind of fun ended so soon.
>>26003055Meant to add: And he wants to kill Aizen, and he figured the best way was to get close to him

>>26003066but now we can do science, and burn down schools, and...well I forgot what the current plan had been...but I think we're supposed to buy apples.
>>26003090I don't know, it seems like we're expected to go back to being someone who kills everyone for no reason?Even though I kind of feel like that's beneath us by this point.
>>26003057>>26003036wat
>>26003116Well, not nooooooooooooooooooo reason. Just the best reasons we have at the moment...do we have...those things where you actively don't want to eat something or someone and you...feelings? Anyway, back to Sharktits.
>>26003036That's the impression I was under as well. They probably nerfed the explanation for the anime, causing the current confusion.
>>26003040Some of that got reconned away though...
>>26003195>Some of that got reconned away though...Really? That is what I get for ignoring the middling quests of that series.
>>26002836just checking something
>>26003176>>26003057>>26003036Well, Shinigami /are/ souls, so taking a piece of one's soul is pretty close to rape with a side-helping of mutilation, I'd say.
>>26002836Oh, Cosgrove, just wanted to say thank you for the skills paste in. It's exactly what I was hoping for.
>guard Chizuru>diplomacy>19You position yourself between yourself and Chizuru, ready to protect her. However, they’ve yet to make any hostile movements. Maybe diplomacy would work?"I'm Kurosaki Ichigo...who're you. I didn't mean to intrude if this is your home...but my friend and I are injured and don't belong in this world...we'll be gone...and mean no harm...but I will defender her and myself if need be,"The humanoid and female hollow walks towards you, staring you in the eyes. “I see no deceit in your eyes or words, but you are a shinigami. Why are you protecting this girl who feels like a hollow?”You shake your head. “Reason? She’s my friend. That’s all the reason I need.”As you stare anxiously as the hollow, she nods her head and turns towards her companions. “Tier Harribel, Kurosaki Ichigo. That is my name.”You stare at her back but don’t do anything. The other three seem to be watching you closely before Harribel nods her head. “You can rest until your friend is well. If you act against my comrades, though…”She swings her sword-like arm, indicating what will happen.>looks like you might have a place to rest.>trust Harribel’s group?
>all this time without a post from CosgroveGuys, I'm worried...
>>26003317>>26003312Every time.
>>26003312trust themask her who they are, what they're doing, and if there are more sentient hollows like them
>>26003312Take her offer its the best deal were going to get in this crazy place.
>>26003312>Trust Harribel's groupWhy not. This'll be an important lesson.
>>26003312>trust Harribel’s group?Until given a reason otherwise, yes.
>>26003312"Thank you."Wow. Someone that doesn't want to kill us right off the bat. NEAT!
>>26003312"Thank you, Tier Harribel"Uneasily sit back down, try to stay awake, probably fall asleep
>>26003312Trust her group, for now."Then we have an accord. I admit, I'm surprised. I've never met Hollows this reasonable before."
>>26003312>>trust Harribel’s group?>Butter her up"My father taught me to never bear ill will towards those that show kindness towards you"."My thanks, lady, you seem alright".
>>26003312>Trust Harribel’s group?I guess we do at this point. We won't be sleeping though. Keep an eye out for them, maybe ask why she's fairly humanoid for a Hollow.And what did she mean that Chizuru is a Hollow?
>>26003312Yeah, let's trust them. THey seem cool.> if there are more sentient hollows like themWe know holloss are generally sentient - Grand Fisher, bugbomb, etc. They just tend to be comically evil.
>>26003312>nevermind then>Trust?Yes.They haven't killed or devoured our souls yet, so they're obviously different from the average hollow.I don't see why we can't trust them- we don't have much of a choice....wait, did she just say Chizuru feels like a Hollow?
>>26003327Yep
>>26003370Yeah that's good.
>>26003312>trust Harribel’s group
>>26003378>"My father taught me to never bear ill will towards those that show kindness towards you".>"My thanks, lady, you seem alright".I don't think our father ever said that, but it has a nice ring to it so let's go with that.
>>26003312"Thank you. So, come here often? Seriously though, where is 'here' and how can you tell direction in this place?"
>>26003312Trust her.
>>26003229Maybe they just ganked her and took her Souls.
>>26003378Tossing my vote for this.
>>26003121At one point Matsumoto has a flash back to Gin feeding her some fruit right? Well when Gin lays dying he flashes back to the moment leading up to that. Or the fruit thing coulda been Matsumoto finding Gin and helping him been a while so my memory is hazy but yeah, Gin takes revenge for his one friend.Aizen has his men stealing power from peasants (and possibly y'know other stuff) and one of the victims happens to be Matsumoto, Gin finds her and helps her. This then leads to Gin actively being a demonic little shite i.e. killing a seated member of his squad to get Aizens attention/trust etc.
>>26003312>trustYou know what this means? ICE BREAKERS!And now time for Ichigo to fail at MORE small talk

>>26003511We're pretty much a bit of everything. We just happen to look like a shinigami at first glance.
>>26003511we never were.Maybe we should make a comment about her not being so much of a hollow while masked up at some point.
>>26003464>At one point Matsumoto has a flash back to Gin feeding her some fruit right? I thought that was a re-tread of Rukia's entry into SS.Remember: Souls with spirit potential need to eat, and SS is a ghetto where most spirits only eat for pleasure and when they can afford it.You DO mean the scene where they were kids, right?>>26003468You do know that some of our best rolls have been either for social or completely meaningless BS so far?>>26003511We're a Shinigami by virtue of having a Zanpakuto and believing in purifying hollows.Beyond that?

>yesYou nod your head. "My father taught me to never bear ill will towards those that show kindness towards you…"Thank you, Tier Harribel"She gives a nod before moving to the opposite side of the room as she and her companions leave. “We will return.”You nod and check on Chizuru again. She’s not doing much better and the black markings on her skin seem permanent. However, she’s still alive… you settle back down and sleep some more, reluctantly.>14You feel like you’re at maybe a third of your strength when you wake up. The hollows are back, making small talk amongst themselves. After checking on Chizuru, you take a moment to ask them something.“"Pardon me for asking, but have you noticed any other anomalous people in the past two weeks? The soul of a woman, older than me, would most likely feel like a human, but may have traces of hollow or even shinigami?"Harribel and the snake, Sung-sun, shake their heads as you let out a depressed sigh. The deer, Apacci, and the lion, Mila Rose, seem to be ignoring you. Sung-sun looks at you. “Why is a shinigami here anyway?”You shake your head. “I’m not one, not really. I was just a normal human less than two weeks ago.”The deer snorts. “Yeah, right. Don’t give me that bullshit.”The snake shakes her head. “His eyes don’t lie, Apacci. That is what he believes.”The deer looks away, ignoring you again. Harribel gives a shrug. “Kurosaki Ichigo, take no offense, but the only reason why I’m allowing you here is that you are resolutely guarding your friend. We female hollows, especially the adjuchas, suffer greatly at the hands of the males. That is why we travel in groups and I have not attacked you. “I have no interest in gaining power through the sacrifices of others.”>any response?
>>26003619...guys, when do d100s get rolled in this quest?
>>26003681that's good to hear. If you were willing to sacrifice people close to you, I'd have to beat the hell out of you
>>26003681Put on the mask.
>>26003681so could we theoretically have enough power to pull a garganta back to the human world and try contacting whoever the shit trying to figure out where we end up?
>>26003727>you could try, but again, you'd have to mask up first.
>>26003681>“I have no interest in gaining power through the sacrifices of others.”"And I have no interest in the people I care about suffering. I like your style."
>>26003681"My own zanpaktou vowed that if I ever disrespected the lives and feelings of my friends, if I ever treated my comrades as pawns, that he would kill me.And I thanked him for making that promise."
>>26003681>Any response?"And I only wish to protect my friends and keep them safe. Though, I don't know what is afflicting my friend here. You said that you sensed her as a Hollow, but she was just as human as me. What do you mean by that?"
>>26003681"That is an admirable philosophy. Since gaining my powers, the only Hollows I have encountered in the living world were consumed with hunger, violence, and selfish desire...well, except for my Hollow"If pressed on that, display mask. Explain 3 way hybrid nature.
>>26003681Well I'm glad to have met you then. Out of curiosity have you met any shinigami who wear hollow masks? And is there anyway for you to eat that isn't at the expense of others? I really appreciate the place to stay so I'd like to help out if there was a way I could.
>>26003745this, and add"If you guys want out of here, there's a place I can take you when I'm back to full strength. There's a rather place in the living world that's chock full of outcasts with nowhere else safe. Would you like to join us?"
>>26003758>>26003745These.
>>26003722>that's good to hear. If you were willing to sacrifice people close to you, I'd have to beat the hell out of youI kinda like this, maybe with a few minor alterations to sound less aggressive. I would like to manifest myself against putting our mask though. Her main problem seems to be that we are male, not merely that we are a Shinigami. Let's at least do some more small talk first.
>>26003681"Funny thing, that.You and my sword have the same philosophy.But no, really; you would not believe the shit I've been through these last weeks- The consequences of which would be why we're here in the first place."
>>26003741That.>>26003774And this.>>26003681>We female hollows, especially the adjuchas, suffer greatly at the hands of the males.I thought only Noitora (sp?) was that much of a dick.>>26003784>I kinda like this, maybe with a few minor alterations to sound less aggressive.It's Ichigo. He's direct as a Cero to the face.
>>26003681Agree with her sentiment. Those who exploit others (like Aizen) have no dignity.Also, attempt to enter Jizen and check up on the Super Zangetsu Bros when we have a moment. We need to check if they're okay.
>>26003779What, no.Not until she becomes an Arrancar at least.As it is, the atmosphere of Hueco Mundo is likely sustaining them to some extent.
>>26003681"I'm not looking for a sacrifice to gain power. Not long ago I ran into the hollow that killed my mother, trying to distract me once he realized I out matched him he told me that her soul was intact hidden in hueco mundo. Though I did not come for the purpose of finding her it would mean something to me to know for sure her final fate."no masking and looking like a male vasto lord yet.
>>26003758Yeah, ask her to clarify if Chizuru is in the process of becoming a hollow, already is a hollow, or just feels like one.
>respect, she’s got itYou give her a nod.“And I have no interest in the people I care about suffering. I like your style.”Harribel looks at you curiously. “Oh?” You give her a smile."That really is an admirable philosophy. Since gaining my powers, the only Hollows I have encountered in the living world were consumed with hunger, violence, and selfish desire...well, except for my Hollow.. But more importantly, you said my friend felt like a hollow?“I don't know what is afflicting my friend here. You said that you sensed her as a Hollow, but she was just as human as me. What do you mean by that?”Harribel closes her eyes and crosses her arms. “I meant that. When I found you both, I felt the reiatsu of a hollow coming from her. Though, now, it has changed. Into what, even I do not know.”You look at Chizuru, biting your lip.>you have control
>>26003807Yeah it's time to do that.They should be strong enough to manifest by now, if still weakened.
Rolled 8>>26003905try to wake her up
>>26003905"Then excuse me. I need to see if I can get us home now."Mask up, try to open a hole back to home.We really need Isshin and Urahara's help with this.
>>26003939Nah, I'd rather not risk /that/ awakening instead of Chizuru.
>>26003905Eh, guess that means she's about as normal as the rest of us then. I'd be worried but that seems par for the course with the last few weeks.
>>26003961Eh, I kind of feel like we should wait to see if she's in less danger of going berserk again first.
>>26003961Yeah... we really should at least try this once, now. If there's even hint that her life might be in danger we kinda need to take the risk.
>>26003961sounds good, but thank her again and tell her to keep in touch and look us up if she ever gets to the living world
>>26003905Check to see if Chizuru is recovering even a little bit, or if she's stabalized.
Either way, I should probably take my friend back. It was nice to meet you girls. I hope we can meet again in a less pressing situation. Oh, and be careful with a guy named Aizen. He is a dick.Also memorize their reiatsu so you can find them again in the future.
>>26004020Then Jinzen.Before attempting to use our powers, we should check in to see how things are going in there.
>>26004034>sounds good, but thank her again and tell her to keep in touch and look us up if she ever gets to the living worldOh, and please avoid eating humans, yes? kthxbye.
