"Sorry to have worried you, Yuzu, and Karin. I was kind of delayed on my way back. But Honsho and me are back now, and we even made some friends while in Hueco Mundo.
"How are you three doing?"

>>26123105
"Sorry for not calling earlier, I had to see things through with Honsho first."

Probably potential for interesting conversations with Isshin and Tatsuki.

I don't know, the fact that we've been with her a week in Hueco Mundo should be some clue.

This is for the back burner, but when Ichigo has time to reflect on recent events, I think we need to have him snag on one of the wishes he clearly heard.

I wish they'd all just die.

>>26123230

I imagine she'd still be curious, or rather, she remembers why Ichigo stopped crying and seeing him break like that when he thought he'd failed to save someone might be enough to make her try and talk to him in private.

This is the first time I think anyone but Tatsuki has seen Ichigo cry, and she hasn't seen it since Masaki died.

This was a big thing for her, losing her friend the crybaby and him being replaced by the scowly would be protector.

I wonder if Chizuru's new powers are going to be the Order/Chaos manipulation of fate the hogyouku possessed or if she gets something else? Because that's really only good fighting people at her level

Are we going to do this every time? I thought we would know by know that blaming/hurting ourselves is bad. We got a Taiga Dojo for it one time, even if it wasn't supposed to happen.

>>26123239
The rock was clearly picking up wishes over a pretty broad range, because I don't think the wishes of the dozen people in the room with us at the time would have been enough to cause the ten-line repeating block of "I WISH I WISH I WISH".

For all we know its a red herring because it was picking up the wish of a really angsty teen that lives down the block. And unless someone in our group has gone full Yandere when we weren't looking, I can't see it being any of them. The only person who MIGHT be a mole is Nel, but she's too nice to wish that even if she is planning to betray us.

>>26123373
"because of me" is a bit of a stretch?

You know... at some point... we need to cross over to the canon Bleach-verse and tell Canon-Ichigo that he's a tool.

... and then blut him.

Also, as for our Shirou like tendencies, I think we should at least let our friends fight their own battles... after we help bootstrap them up to a place where they can.

“Ichigo. You’re back?!”

You smile at the sound of your father’s relieved tone.

“Yeah, sorry for not calling earlier…”

You trail off and let out a sigh.

“"Hey, um, I need to talk to you. About something pretty heavy. I know I'm usually not about the whole gut-spilling thing, but I can't not tell you about what just happened after you told me everything you knew about my past.
"What I'm saying is, a really good friend of mine almost died because of me and I need someone to talk to right now."

There a few moments silence before your dad responds, his voice soft and sympathetic. “I understand. Where are you?”

“I’m at Urahara’s shop.”

You hear your father let out a relieved sigh. “Alright. You want to head home and talk about it or should I come over there? And do you want me to bring your sisters?”

You pause, considering your father’s words…

>Response?

>>26123555
Actually, it's explicitly described in Equilibrium this way: "Through analysis of thousands of recorded gunfights, the Cleric has determined that the geometric distribution of antagonists in any gun battle is a statistically predictable element. The gun kata treats the gun as a total weapon, each fluid position representing a maximum kill zone, inflicting maximum damage on the maximum number of opponents while keeping the defender clear of the statistically traditional trajectories of return fire."
Basically, you're putting bullets into the places where a foe or foes is statistically most likely to be. So there ARE shots that go nowhere but the wall.

We can tell him about the Arrancars and about maybe teaching Yuzu and Karin some Quincy skills.

>>26123651
>>26123655
Eh, he could always come over tomorrow, but yeah it might be a good idea to get the whole Arrancar situation sorted out.

Not sure if Urahara is cool with all of them staying over at his place, especially not Neliel.

>>26123696
>>26123651
We should NOT teach them Quincy shit yet. Bringing our friends in now is one thing, but we cannot do that.

I'd post this myself half an hour from now, but it's almost 6 AM where I live and I'd like to go to sleep sometime soon. Could you ask something like this during our heart-to-heart with Isshin, /tg/?

"I... I'm not very good at solving problems, dad. Especially serious and emotional ones. All I really know is how to hit things with my sword or my fists until they stop being problems. Ever since this started it's always been simple like that. But... that almost wasn't enough this time. And I honestly don't know how I'd have dealt with this if Chizuru had died. To win the battle but still lose... it's something I just can't wrap my head around. That's not how things should go. I know reality doesn't work like that, but... it should. If she had died... I'd have torn heaven and hell apart to get her back. I'd do the same for all of my friends. How did you used to deal with this back when you were a Captain?"

We should take a day and just go to the beach with everyone to unwind.

>>26123651
Nah don't bring them, keep them out of this until they demand it.

>>26123696

Wait, we still need to talk to Orihime. Lets ask her if she'd walk home with us if we are going there. We don't want to just leave everyone hanging in the shop.

If we are going to bounce, we should let everyone know.

Pop back in, "Hey...everyone...I need to see my dad about something."

>>26123720
Unfortunately we don't have time.

I mean we need to save Hinamori, and right after that we should probably get along to saving Masaki.

Shit's stressful.

>>26123720

2 days to train, 1 day to relax, then soul society. Relax day at the beach sounds capital.

>>26123733

We need to talk to pop in a personal and intimate family setting for this as we pour our soul out to a hardened vet and Hime wanted to talk to us in private anyway.

>>26123733
Yeah her walking home with us is a good idea.

>>26123733

oh dear...misunderstandings incoming.

>>26123603
Fault? No no no, you misunderstand. This entire situation, Chizuru's rescue and needing to be rescued, the fight with Hitsugaya, the fight with Momo and her hollowification. That's because of us, we are the cause of it. But being the cause of something does not mean that we are at fault for it.

I'll put it this way: If you see a car at the side of the road, help and accidently leave your phone in the hood after it's towed away. You lost your phone because of the other driver, but it's still your fault.

I'd agree if it didn't mean that all of our Arrancar buddies would follow. I mean Starrk and lilynette are probably fine with staying and Nel might talk with Urahara, but Harribel and the Tres will follow us, I fear.

Neliel: Aizen did WHAT! BLARGH, you have my sword...even though I don't want to fight.
Harribel & the Bestias: We are their chief. We are strong. Also we gave them pizza, they will follow us to hell and back.

Though we need to tell something to Harribel and the Bestias...or are they just going to follow us home? Which would be hilarious as we start our conversation with Orihime and notice them there.

We should probably also ask Neliel about her subordinates, and whether she's capable of making her own way back (pretty sure Arrancar can make Garganta, can't they?) and if she thinks they're okay.

>>26123785
Then why didn't we say "because of the situation we're in" or something? "Because of us" implies it was our fault. "Cause" and "because of" don't sound the same in this situation.

>>26123830

We can figure that out during strategy planning...

Which should consist of explaining what is known of the Court's layout. What is known of each division, what we know about active captains, and our means of entry/exit.

As long as we don't get hit again, I'm fine. For a diplomancer, we're shit at actually talking without fighting.

Think so yeah?

>>26123824
This is a reference to an argument a couple of threads ago about just what we actually did when we beat Halibel, Short answer: as long as we are as strong as Halibel (even if only in her perception), we can't exclude her from combat because she might be killed. That's a reason you give to weak people. Before one could make a strategy argument in keeping her behind as a rear guard to protect the plot rock, but we broke that last thread. Essentially she goes where we go.

>>26123917
We did pretty good with Neliel, but then again most of that wasn't typed out, and it's not hard to talk about how much Aizen sucks.

And a detailed one with Chizuru kissing us or us crying. Fuck I wish this could be animated or drawn as a manga.

>>26123980
Betteer yet; have him make something that forces Soul Suicide.

>>26123991
How about something that just seals reiatsu? Because it'd suck to have Aizen who monitors these kind of things stick the fake in Hime or Momo, just to prove it's safe.

>>26123986
Yeah, Chizuru at the ramen bar looking up at the sky, which is our inner world, with a melancholy smile on her face would be heartbreakingly amazing to see in picture form.

>>26123991

...are you saying we trick Aizen into murdering himself after he publically outs himself for all the shit he's pulled...and we can yell at him not to take it because it will kill him and he'll do it anyway?

...that is heroically evil.

>>26124034
I would love it.

In any case, I really don't want a device like that existing.

It's the old "The gun totally shoots backwards" assassin trick.

>>26124022

I'll add these to the "list of shit that I need to draw," then.

>"No. Don't do it. Stop. Before it's too late... oh no."

Yeah, it really is. oh well, back to the plotting board.

>>26124099
You can do comics? How about doing some Improvaizen strips? You could base them on the posts in the archive.

>head home.

“…I’ll head home, dad. I’ll be back in a little while. A lot has happened.”

Your father grunts in affirmation. “Alright, just don’t take too long.”

After saying farewell, you hang up. You look back towards the shop, remembering that Orihime had wanted to talk with you, one-on-one.

You step inside to give everyone an update and grab Orihime. Starrk and Lilynette, mostly Lilynette, seems to be shattering up cheerfully at Chizuru, while your human friends talk with them. Harribel and the Tres sit nearby talking with Orihime. Aside, Neliel seems to be talking with Urahra, Yoruichi and Tessai seriously, just out of earshot of the rest.

When you close the door, the room’s attention seems to focus on you. “What’s up Ichigo?”

Chizuru’s smiling at you, but she looks tired. You scratch at the back of your neck. “I was going to go check on my family, see how everything was with them.”

You recall that she hasn’t been at home for the past week either. “You need to check in with your family, Chizuru?”

Her smile slips for a second before its back, but it seems sadder. “No, they’re on vacation again, like always. They probably won’t be back for a while. But you should go, Ichigo. Your family’s probably been worried sick.”

You squirm at her words, feeling like a heel. “…Yeah. You coming, Orihime?”

She points at herself as you nod and she nods back at you, smiling. When she gets up, Harribel and the Tres follow. You stare at them awkwardly as Harribel looks at you and Orihime.

“You’re both tired, Ichigo. You’re in no condition to go alone. I’m coming with you.”

Sung-Sun, Mila Rose and Apacci all nod firmly.

>You have control

So while we're in downtime; how many people actually read the archives and upvote the good ones?

>>26124180
There's a "It's dangerous to go alone" joker here.

>>26124180
"As you wish"

>>26124180
"I guess there's no convincing you guys otherwise... ok."

One of these days though we're going to need to cut the umbilical cord otherwise they'll end up watching us sleep and make love and poop...

>>26124157
Well, they're about as good as my normal stuff, but yeah.

>>26124180
throw up hands in exasperation with a resigned "Fine," then realize we still have to introduce them to Isshin with dawning horror.

Also, are the Arrancars back in their Gigais?

>>26124201
"It's dangerous to go alone! Take Halibel!"

>>26124206
No, no, SHE has to say that, or it's not as good.

Besides, you KNOW what that phrase means.

>>26124226
Yeah, all of them are back in their Gigais

>>26124180
>I was kind of trying to keep this a private family affair, but I guess now in a way you guys are my extended family..."

>>26124180

"Okay...but can you guys hang back a bit and fan out wide around us as we go? Orihime and I need to talk privately...and when we get there...I guess I'll need to explain things to my dad first so he doesn't freak out,"

>>26124180
Thanks, though when we get close to my place, can you hang back for a little bit? My dad's a shinigami, and I don't need another fight to break out after everything that's happened. It'll just be long enough to tell him you're friendlies.

>>26124241
Good, so we aren't trailing invisible half-naked women who don't give a damn.

...wait, now I won't see Isshin's reaction to that.
Damn.

>>26124225
probably helping with the first two if Momo's onboard, and the last one has put funny thoughts in my head

>>26124180
"Fine, I still have to figure out where you'll be staying anyway and let dad know."

We ought be too tired to argue. The private talk with Orihime can be in our room.

>>26124180
"I appreciate it but it's really not necessary. Besides, my sisters don't know about all this spirit stuff and I'd like to keep them out of it if possible."

>>26124271
>don't know
Yes they do.

Might have been a mistake, but they do.

>>26124180
sure, but me and Orihime're going to need some time alone to talk once we get there

>>26124249
This. Much less taking sides. Ignore >>26124252.

>>26124120
>"So... you're a snake."
>"Yes."
>"Huh."
>"What?"
>"Oh I don't know, I guess I was expecting something a little... I don't know, crazier?"

>... ... ...
>"So you want to go kill a seated officer and start up a centuries spanning game of cat and mouse while we play the part of a double agent?"
>"Ya ok."

>>26124271
but...they do know.
We brought them into this in thread ONE.

>>26124253
As amazing as that would be, Isshin can't see them. So don't feel too bad.
He still will see a bunch of somewhat older, racially diverse hot chicks staring at us.

>>26124305
Actually when we became the Hullow Quigami I believe the seal on his power broke, and he's starting to regain his power.

>>26124225
"ICHIGO! You have not used soap to wash your hands."
"Oh god why are you behind the shower curtain?"
"WATCHING. PROTECTING. I AM YOUR SHADOW."
>slid curtain back, covering her again, then walk out

>>26124305
>Isshin can't see them
Yes he can?

Thanks to Ishida's stupid hollow bait, our Hollow broke his seal within the first week.

He should have more than enough power to see ghosts by now.

>>26124180
alright. but watch yourselves-my dad thinks he's a master of ambush

>>26124249
Yeah that seems fair.

Wait, if Hallibel turns out to be Mom I wouldn't mind letting Isshin hit her up. I'm sure he's lonely.
Actually, we should get at least one of our harem to pursue Dad.
What if the Spooky Ghost Club became a matchmaking service to finance our spooky ghost fighting? We kill bad spooky ghosts, and hook up good spooky ghosts with clients!

Nah, Ichigo's mom would have the same mask as us, the mask of the "Whitey" that attacked Karakuracho and was fought by Isshin and Masaki.

>>26124249
Throwing my support behind this.

Also, warn them about the fact that our dad can be a bit of a nutcase when he's not being serious. They might not take kindly to some of his antics if they aren't forewarned.

I still expect Harribel to counter-surprise-attack him the next time he tries to pull that though.

>>26124319
>>26124327
Wait, what is this?
What thread did this happen?
If hollow bait was all it took, he would have gotten his powers back before either of the rescue arcs

>>26124346
>What if the Spooky Ghost Club became a matchmaking service to finance our spooky ghost fighting? We kill bad spooky ghosts, and hook up good spooky ghosts with clients!

Then the Shinigami Women's Association forces Soul Society to let Momo go and has us work full time as their matchmaker service.

>>26124339
I now want to see Excalibur and the Zangetsu brothers meet.

>>26124346
I prefer the modeling agency idea, or at the very least having Ishida start a line of clothes that the Arrancar girls model as our means for funds. Because who in SS would expect hollows to be hiding in the real world as models?

>>26124346
She's not.
For the love of god, people, she's been a hollow for at least a couple decades if she can't remember her past life- Hueco mundo time moves slower than the real world's, making it even MORE unlikely she's Masaki, based on Time alone.

and then there's the fact that Ichigo and Masaki would have similar hollow forms, meaning the bull horns and mask shape would be the same.

>>26124398
I also like this, except EVERYONE is models, like the uncyclopedia page for Tite Kubo- Uryu is Kubo, and he's a fashion designer.

We need to make Uryu's fabulous clothing lines a reality.

>>26124419
The first thing we have to do of course would be to get him to stop putting crosses on everything. Get him to use it as kind of like the little alligator or polo guy.

Of course we'd need to get him to assign some significance to the idea of a cross outside of it's religious context.

>>26124503
I'm fine with that, as long as Tousen keeps his dreads down. Up-do Tousen is worst Tousen.

Except oomaeda.

Honestly, she’s not wrong. Saving Chizuru took a lot out of you and Orihime’s probably not much better off. You’re too tired to argue the point and let out a sigh.

"I guess there's no convincing you guys otherwise…”

You take Orihime by the hand, waving goodbye as you walk out the door. The four Arrancar women follow behind you, closing the door.

When you’re all outside, you look at Harribel. “Okay...you’re coming with us, but can you guys hang back a bit and fan out wide around us as we go? Orihime and I need to talk privately...and when we get there...I guess I'll need to explain things to my dad first so he doesn't freak out."

Harribel nods her head at your words. “Of course.”

You walk side by side with Orihime, Harribel and her subordinates fanned out behind you, just out of hearing’s range, looking alert.

Orihime looks over at you, intertwining her fingers with yours and offering you a slight smile.

“I wanted to talk with you, but was there anything you wanted to talk with me about first?”

>You have control

>>26124647
I seriously don't know why she keeps him around.

Is he just there on the technicality that none of the actual ninjas qualify for LT?

>>26124657
>"No, I'm just glad you're safe..."

>>26124647
>>26124661
Even he's ridiculously fast for a fat guy, and fought one of Barragan's fraccion on more-or-less equal terms...until he didn't.
He's more or less there to serve Soi-Fon's purposes as distraction and decoy.

>>26124657

I wanted to say "I love you" for the last line; I really really do, but I'm not sure it's the right time right now.

>>26124703
No, no, the Court Guards have ninjas, and the nobles have ninjas, but the Gotei's ninjas are more like secret police. She essentially made all departments of that secret police her domain.

We need to sit with her tonight and have a long heart felt talk.

WELP

>>26124897
Well yeah. Since when is Hime *not* expanding her harem?

>>26124889
Misread, but more or less adresses it anyway- she's secret police, everyone else has mercenary ninjas or personal ninjas.

>>26124897
I will never not love this picture and all its implications.

>>26124808

to be honest, saying the L-word in general is pretty heavy-handed, especially with the two girlfriends thing... to me, romantic love implies a special connection to a particular person, something that cannot easily be given completely to two individuals

>So, tell her you miss her and that you're sorry you weren't there.

>There was some discussion about asking about her opinion on Harribel and the Tres, did you all want that or not?

>>26124945
Now's not the time to get her opinion on our new friends.
Right now lets just go with that first ine.

>>26124945
No, not for now, maybe later as a "so how are you all getting along?" thing, but for now let her talk.

>>26124945
Yes to both.

>>26124945
Not now, not when they may be eavesdropping

>>26124945
Not now, gotta pace ourselves and we're tired

>>26124943
You can definitely love two people, even romantically, at once. Monogamous commitment is for *their* feelings, not yours.

>>26124945
Not at the moment. Lets save that conversation for a more when we aren't talking about deep emotional stuff.

>>26124945
No we don't ask about the Hollows. 4 are following us right now and it's not the right time. Nice as she is, we don't know what she has to say and it's not at the top of our head right now anyway.

We need to reaffirm our relationship and just do the first line and let her say her piece."

>>26124945
Nah not right now, before we know how good their hearing is.

>>26124943
I honestly envy you for being able to hold onto something so black and white and simplistic as that. Would have saved me a lot of heartache.

>>26124945
This conversation should be all about her, not anyone else. We have been missing for a long time, gotta make her feel wanted.

>>26125035
This to the max.
All about her; (maybe a spot of momo) and nothing else.

She's kind and understanding, but we need to give her the time and attention she needs and deserves.

>>26125035
Yeah this.

>>26124985

perhaps it's my archaic sense of love, but it seems almost "unfair" in a way, because both momo and hime are devoting their entire selves, while ichigo is splitting his affections between two people

>>26125170
