true, but if we take one of them, it'd have to be Soi. Kenny would wind up murdering whatever we need to find. Even if its the Soul King or an immaterial concept

>>26968374
OH FUCK
But, hes probably still in /SS/ by order of old man
but if he's outside our house when we leave?
FUCK

>>26968349
seconding

>>26968417
he's with us.
Him and Soi Fong came through the portal when we buggered out, according to Hime

Forgot my name.

>>26968417
Actually, he and Soi Fon (maybe even Toshiro? no clue if he's alive) are stuck here on earth with us. The Precipice World is fucked as Memories of Nobody is happening right now on top of Zanpakuto Rebellion. Luckily both are operating on different time scales, as one is a season worth of happenings, the other is like 2 or 3 days.

"It makes about as much sense as everything else that's happened to me.

"Ya so while you where passed out there was some whispy looking thing in a priestess kemono with all kinds of fire orbs and fox tails or whatever babbling about some kind of sacred ritual, but it was really boring so I stabbed it to death. ... you don't look happy."

Damn I really wanted chad to come with us
But if kenny comes with us?
Chance of getting him to at least repair/sharpen his sword so he can actually fucking listen to it

>>26968546
That assumes we're going to Squad Zero, and not something weird.

>>26968561
Either way Kenny gets is that powerful things always fuck with us so were in a position that'll get him to take care of his sword a little better

My vote is still for Chad.

>>26968601
Eh, we have bigger priorities.

And >>26968406

Makes a good point.

>>26968546
No way we're bringing Kenny. He's just too violence-prone to bring when we don't know if we'll actually need anything murdered or not.

>>26968546
Unlikely that'll be what happens, although "reforge your future" is an interesting phrase.
In any case we need a strong body guard and Kenny fits the bill... but if it's a spiritual quest? Well then Chad's and Ishida are the only ones that make sense, and we can't have the president and vice president on the same plane so to speak; so it leaves Kenny and Chad.
Keep in ming Chizuru still has some plotrock in her and if things happen, there's no way we could protect her or she would be able to hold her own against one of the defectees'[/spoiler

We'll cross that bridge when we get to it though

"Trust?
Maybe, maybe not. But I've been through too much to ignore warnings in my head, and I KNOW this last burst of strength won't last me much longer- I'm not getting any better, so anything that could fix this..I want to take. I can't have gone through everything just to drop dead when I've got so many people who care about me, who would be upset if something happened to me.

So I want to go, if only because there's nothing else I can think of that would fix this."

And god damnit, I now want to draw a series of 4koma about Yoruichi and Gin taking the piss out of Aizen at every opportunity, thanks to the last thread.

>>26968605
Wait, given that Kyoto is a major city, wouldn't there be a Shinigami on-station on a permanent basis?
Couldn't we simply get in touch with them when we arrive by bullet train and ask them about any shrines with unusual properties?

>>26968157
"Well that depends, am I getting better at all? Not even in a recovering my powers sense, but more just a 'being able to walk unaided' way.

I don't understand why I need to go to Kyoto, or why Aizen is still in my head when I thought that his phantom died when that symbolic fire went out. And I'm betting I won't like the answer, if there is one.

But even if the path ahead of me seems confusing and stupid, I don't think it's alright for me to just lay here staying still."

>>26968779
Haha treachery 2x-combo.

Only worse because this time I'm pretty sure Yoruichi beat up Soi Fon first.

>>26968750
Eh, I thought we were on a timer here, what with the not getting better at all and our death very much possible.

>>26968804
Well that depends if that's the case, or if Aizen is being melodramatic.

>>26968802
probably saying something along the lines of "You always were a subpar student, weren't you Shaolin?"

>>26968802
"Y-YORUI-"
>Mach 12 gut punch followed by 10,000 stings
>Tosses her off to the side
"I don't have time to deal with garbage right now."

>>26968779
>>26968802
Honestly, I think this will provide Soi Fon with some closure once she processes it fully.

This second betrayal basically eliminates any doubts (to her anyway) that Yoruichi is in fact a scumbag traitor, so she doesn't need to hold on to a vain hope that she might come back some day.

And then Yoruichi reveals it was all an elaborate ruse, thus ripping open all those emotional scars in such a way that makes Soi Fon's canon emotional breakdown look like sunshine and roses.

So step One
Clarify if we actually are dying.

Step Two
Sigh and say it can't be helped

>>26968923
I don't know, it could be that Soi Fon just doesn't give a fuck what Yoruichi's motives were, and is just done with her.

>>26968955
Step three
Ask him to borrow us a cane

Step four
Get the band back together

Step five
Select our Assist

Step six
Road trip

>>26968955
Pretty much.

>[ ]No, I don’t but I don’t have a choice in the matter

You give him a wry grin. “No, I don’t, not really. But…”

You look down at your hands and though there’s strength in them right now, you know it won’t last. “…I’m not getting better, am I?”

You father look away. “No, not really. You’re worse off now then you were a week ago… Urahara didn’t expect you to wake.”

You grit your teeth before you feel your father’s hand on your shoulder. “You said that you could bring along only one person, right? Who did you think about bringing? I’d recommend someone who can either protect you or patch you up if you’d need it, personally, but it is your decision.”

You look down and think about it.

Who would you take with you?

>Your choice?

>>26968985
which would be pretty epic, to be honest
she chews Yoruichi out on being a horrble person for betraying everyone's trust multiple times, then walks off arm in arm with Chizur and Kukkaku

he also might know some basics of first aid thanks to be beaten up all the time

>>26969008
Soi Fong
she's a captain level combatant and all the captains except Kenpachi have at least basic healing kido training.

>>26969027
But that's anime-only content

does this mean Cosgrove wants us to bring Nel?

Hmph
Yeah, even though I REALLY want more Chad time this is clearly the best option

Or at the very least, not Chad I guess.

I hate to say it, but based on those criteria, Nel is both.

But she's also not Chad.

But she IS both a good bodyguard and has some healing capability in a pinch.

But she isn't Chad.

Oh god the choices.

Fuck it, I say Nel. Cold hard logic up in here.

>>26969008
Is Kuukaku available?

I'm not sure if she's here or not.

If what we suspect about her is true, then she could be a pretty good choice.

>>26969008
Chad or Nel
We should leave a letter for Ishida outlining all of our suspicions, including Yoruichi. Giin possibly being dubious, HogeyQ being the beast in Aizen's skin. And thanking him for Saving Momo.

>>26969209
I don't think we have any reason to suspect that Gin is anything but a jackass.

>>26969008
If Soi-Fong is stable enough; I vote her. She's strong, patient, and knows healing Keido. She's also very observant and analytical. Since Yoruichi is a turncoat, she's the best all-in-one package we have next to Nel; and Nels a former agent of Aizen. I know it might be paranoid, but I can't help for feel that if we take her along, Aizen will know about this trip and step in immediately. So again, Soi-Fong.

I mean, there won't be any romantic tension plus she might know what's up.

>>26969008
I forgot about the "MEDIC" part about bringing a partner.

Hime is a better healer, but Momo has versatility.
Chad is a bro, though, and we need more Social Links with him.
Nel has her spit, but does it beat out Momo's kido?

Voting Momo, for versatility.

>>26969247
Do we really know her well enough?

>>26969008
Chad because loyalty and he can literally support us.

>>26969008
Fuck it, let's go with Rukia.

She was there at the start...

Seems appropriate.

>>26969273
That's a good point.

He can physically carry us if we get too weak.

>>26969209
>We should leave a letter for Ishida outlining all of our suspicions
Ya, leaving him, Hime, and Momo notes is a good id-
>including Yoruichi
Do you even espionage?
NO

>>26969269
More importantly do we know she won't turn us over to Yoruichi like a sobbing child trying to earn the respect and love of an estranged parent?

>>26969008
best choices for this in order
>Soi Fong (60/100 kido is not amazing for a captain, but its still good enough to heal one human, and she is hella fast so we can cover ground faster)
>Nel (Got the healing puke which is nice, and one of the best fighters we have)
>Chad (ultimate bro)
>Bel (Great fighter, but no healing)
>Orihime (Great healing, subpar fighter)

>>26969008
Chad or Rukia.
Soi Fon has no reason to help us.

>>26969301
They're pretty much all capable of carrying Ichigo.

Guys Soi Fon is a bad choice because Yoruichi.

That gives her a fairly crippling weakness as of now.

>>26969008
Nel

>>26969008
Eh, I'm not sure if we really can be healed, if Orihime and Neliel have been unable to manage it.

And our heaviest hitters have more important people to protect.

>>26969130
>>26969143
She DID hint that she had something...else she could do to help us, but she was nervous about it.

the curiosity's been eating me ever since.

But Chad.

Shit.

>>26969191
Yeah, see.

This is how I'm leaning, too.

Plus, she's already becoming a confidante of sorts.

>>26969247
Look, she's one of my favorite captains, but the manga's never gone beyond mentor-worship that was instilled very early in childhood.
No blushing aside from when she cried (which seems natural given the nature of the moment), no constant thinking of the sexy brown one, no stalking- that's all Perriot's scriptwriters, not KUBO.

>>26969316
...Rukia has no real reason to help us, either. She's not in BRO or Love Interest territory unlike the others.

Guys, Chad can't heal us. He doesn't know first aid or any kind of ghost magic.
He's got big strong hands, but he's not quite the right fit here.

We need someone with healing abilities/ capacity and a strong fighting ability
That leaves Soi-Fong, Nel, and Urahara

I doubt Soi-Fong and Urahara are in any shape to help us right now with their own baggage; Soi-Fong most likely dehydrated from crying, and Urahara piss drunk 24/7

That leaves Nel, which Aizen may still have a way of monitoring and if he finds out that we're alive and screwing around, it'll really piss him off.

So with our A-Team gone, our B team is our two girlfriends.
Momo has healing, but she hesitates a lot in combat so she's out.
Orihime is all that's left then. She can patch us up, meshes well with us in a fight, and can hold her own against non-captain opponents.

>>26969008
Take Nel.
>>26969384
>Eh, I'm not sure if we really can be healed, if Orihime and Neliel have been unable to manage it.
I'm 90% it's referring to any new injuries gotten.

>>26969008
Chad for trust and raw strength or Rukia for kido and shunpo

>>26969008
Sounds like the decision's already been made for us.

>>26969389
She was offering to make out with us, HARD like tongue down throat hard

>>26969309
>"So we can cover ground faster"
Now THAT'S a good reason. She's also finely tuned to spiritual pressure so we should be able to find that shrine easy enough maybe.
yfw she carries us piggy back style at breakneck speeds

>>26969389
Prana transfer, of the oral variety. That is her secret healing technique. I would bet my life on it.

>>26969008
Soi Fong for maximum distance coverage

>>26969008
"First, how's everyone doing currently? And just how many people did we wind up taking with us when we left Soul Society?"

>>26969309
good points
picking Soi

If we don't go chad, we ought to go Nel.

>>26969247
...You still think Neliel is a traitor?

>>26969409
>That leaves Nel, which Aizen may still have a way of monitoring and if he finds out that we're alive and screwing around, it'll really piss him off.
Fairly certain this was the WHOLE THING behind Urahara dicking us around with the whole Snake Eater thing, was to make sure there was NO WAY Aizen could discover anything about Urahara.

>>26969446
>>26969475
I had suspicions, but I want to see it with my own eyes.

>>26969008
Why would Soi Fon agree to help some powerless human on a vision quest?
She's an assassin, not a babysitter.

Voting Chad

>>26969523
Yeah this.

But then again, Urahara though Chizuru was free of the Hougyoku.

>>26969008
pick the Soi Fong
gotta go fast

>>26969008
I'd still like to go with Chad, but failing that Neliel.

I think people are choosing who offers the best mechanical benefits, even though that seems a shitty way to view things.

>>26969495
I mean, is Chizuru dying again now that we know the Hougyoku isn't completely gone?

Is that girl Keigo found still with us?

And what about the other people at Shiba House?

>>26969555
I honestly want to keep our nakama in Karakura town so that they're together no mater what fuckery we unleash, which is why i'm saying Soi Fong

>>26969555
Like guys this seems as if it's going to be symbolic as hell.

Are we really going to choose someone who is essentially a stranger, just because she might offer the most useful powerset?

That just feels way too cold.

>>26969555
People are choosing things logically, which this Ichigo tries to do, especially when his life is in danger.

>>26969522
No; I think Aizen might be monitoring her without her knowledge.

>>26969623
But then again, it was our dad who brought up "fuck friendship" so maybe being pragmatic is the right choice.

>>26969669
Um... WHAT?

That isn't what he said, at all.

We've got plenty of friends who can either protect or heal us, and some who can do both. Those are the only two criteria he suggested.

>>26969669
"Son it's not one of your weird american saturday morning cartoons. Friendship doesn't fix everything. Sometimes you need to be practical."

>>26969623
True true; but we also need to be prepareda. Personally I want to take Orihime, but no one else seems to want to.
Step it up Momo

I guess it wouldn't be Bleach Quest if we thought every option could irrevocably fuck us over thus leading to paralyzed indecision.

Just like old times.

>>26969733
Eh, I kind of feel like Orihime and Momo need to look after each other.

>>26969733
Momo needs Hime right now, Ishida needs to lead the team, Tres and Halibel are inseperable, so that leaves human friends, of which Chads the only one in decent condition, or Nel, who might trip of HOLLOW HOLLOW HOLLOW alarms. Wheras Soi and Kenny and Kuukaku and the like might set off SHINIGAMI alarms.

>>26969749
Well its different than that
were choosing who to spend a whole arc with

>>26969708
"Need a redmage? Why not your dear old dad?"

>>26969749
It's less shadow run now, and more being practical

>>26969749
Less paralyzed and more people wanting their choice and discussing it this time.

>>26969780
because if Dad leaves town, Karin and Yuzu will go the way of Uncle Ben almost instantly

>>26969801
He fought Aizen for a little while and they weren't kidnapped.

>Top three choices seem to be Soi Fong, chad and Neliel. Give me a minute and I'll write little something up for each one, alright?

>>26969008
put one more vote down for chad

>>26969801
Tons of A, B, and S tier folks around though. I doubt dad would be able to so much right now against a full force.

>>26969824
Sure thing!
Thanks Cos!

>>26969824
yarp

>>26969824
Okay.

>>26969824
Alright.

...To be honest I'd prefer Rukia to Soi Fong.

Just because her social link with Ichigo has enormous potential that we have yet to tap into.

>>26969555
The whole with Chad is that he's our bro, and we can ALWAYS rely on him. Ichigo asked him to use his fists for him, and that he'd use his fists in Chad's name.
Neliel, however, can help us when we're hurt, and has been incredibly supportive this whole time, with almost no benefit of her own, aside from not dying in Aizen's Regime.

>>26969824
oh boy, here we go

>>26969824

We barely know her, AND she isn't very strong.

She makes no sense.

>>26969853
>>26969866
I'm afraid not.

It seems like that moment may have passed forever.

The price we had to pay to go Full Kubo.

Such a pity.

I mean she can essentially do what Soi Fong can, if not necessarily as well.

>>26969866
>>26969853
As a Rukiafag; we don't know if she's with us since it was never clarified if she or our ghost family went through too; and we also have no idea what her capabilities are. She's more or less a stranger passing on the street; where Soi-Fong is an action movie cop we saw in action.

>>26969907
Isn't the only action we saw her failing to stop her own tiny sword until we helped her out?

Not exactly the best first impression.

>>26969907
She's not THAT much of a stranger... she's more like the girl who sat on the other side of the room from us in a class once who we made laugh with a joke, and then never talked to again for the rest of the semester.

>>26969927
Try punching a sentient yellowjacket that's as fast as you are. Not too easy. Only reason we caught her was due to surprise.

>>26969956
and look how that worked for Chizuru in the manga continuity

>>26969956
I thought it was more girl we met in the coffee shop and we really hit it off, but we forgot to exchange numbers and by the time we met again, the window had closed.

>>26969966
No, we caught her because we didn't dodge.

Blut is a hell of a drug.

>>26969907
>>26969956
>Who would you rather take on a trip to protect you; coffee shop girl or Jason Statholm?

>>26969989
I'm still a little surprised that worked, because I thought Blut worked under the skin, while shunko is over it.

>>26969927
To be fair we also got dismembered by OMZ, and only won through Hollow Hax and him essentially giving us the win.

Having trouble when your sword(s) suddenly decide to manifest and run around doing random shit that usually involves trying to kill you is a perfectly understandable situation to have trouble with for anyone.

>>26969992
If it's like that, my vote goes to The Boss.

>>26970017
True.

...I think we would have done better if Zangetsu fought alongside us from the start, and didn't irritate the Man in Black just enough for him to enter his Final Form.

>>26969992
but we also have dad as Liam Neeson

>>26970030
And Liam can't go with us.

>>26970005
No so much UNDER it, as it's most POWERFUL under it, from what I can see. The top layers of skin are still difficult to penetrate, but as they get further down, I believe it's more and more difficult to cut.

So, since Suzumebachi is nowhere NEAR as powerful as Ywach's sword, cutting past the first layer seems like it'd be rather difficult.

>Chad
>Neliel
>Soi Fong

You think about your top three options. The first is Soi Fong, Captain fo the Second Division. She’s a captain and incredibly fast. That alone is helpful, but you don’t really know her all that well. Not to mention you haven’t seen her since you woke up. To be fair, you haven’t seen a LOT of people since you woke up. Still she’d probably have useful abilities, if you could convince her to come with you. You also don’t know where she’s at, so you’d have to ask to find her.

Neliel’s the former Third Espada of Aizen’s Espada. She’s a powerful close quarters combatant who is able to defend herself in a gigai. She’s a pacifist who dislikes fighting, but she will if she has to. She also has some sort of healing ability too. You’ve connected with her on some level, but you still haven’t gotten to know her all that well, though. A combatant and medic, she’d be helpful to have along, if she agrees to come.

Yatutora Sado, Chad, is an old friend of yours. For a human, he’s incredibly strong. You’ve been busy for a while so you’ve distanced some from your previous friendship, but he’s always had your back. However, you don’t know how strong he is. He’d be great company, and he’s likely to agree to go, but you’ve yet to talk with him since the Aizen fallout, too. You’d have to find out where he’s at to ask him.

You sit there considering the three in your head.

>>26970109
Soi fong is right out, Ask Dad about Nel or Chad.
I so want Chad, can we... can we have a base of operations? Just like, maybe Nel and Stark and such? I mean it IS a big city to search.

Mostly to see just how bad things are with everyone.

...Neliel still seems the best choice though my heart says Chad.

>>26970109

Decide now, Neliel

>>26970109
If this is social linking, Chad; Soi-Fong seems to be a write off from this and while Nel is a smart choice... well we don't know if she'd come. Probably.

>>26970109
Nel definitely sounds the best, while Chad was more about how we're not sure how things stand with us.

>>26970109
>Chad

>>26970109
>Chad mother fucking Sado Yastora

>>26970109

we still have to fill the girls upstairs in on what's up before we leave, so time's kind of short

>>26970109
>Ask Isshin's advice

No matter what, whoever we pick- we owe them big time. Chad, for distancing ourselves from him so much, then asking to rely on him again, or Neliel, for dragging her further into something that's exactly what she doesn't want.

>>26970109
>Ask your father’s advice
Dismiss Soi Fong from the running, I'm pretty sure it's down to Neliel and Chad.

It seems like it represents whether we'll go with our shiny new friends, or not forget about our old ones, even if they're not as immediately useful.

I know we have to keep moving forward, but does that mean we need to leave everyone behind, or can we lead the way for those who matter to us, so they can progress as well.

>>26970109
>[x]Decide now
chad

>>26970234
We owe everyone so many apologies.

>>26970204
Oh shit! Wait!

"Dad, before she moved in with the Ishidas...was Mom's family from Kyoto?"

>>26970109

Pick nel now

Chad's going to win clearly, but eeeeeeeh... I guess I'm ok with whoever so long as we can at least get out of our room before the next Bleach Quest.

So excited that Bleach Quest is running again; I was worried it turned into a once a week thing.

>>26970257
...holy shit
ask this

>>26970257
...Well fuck.

But if it's going to be like that, why can't Isshin just bully Ryuuken into taking us to the silver room.

>>26970109
Choose Chad, but ask>>26970257 this

>>26970257
...Commuter you glorious bastard.

This gets asked.

>>26970109
>Ask Advice

It's why we called him in, after all.

Might as well hear what our old man has to say.

>>26970109
>Ask your father’s advice
Otherwise this whole exchange was pretty much pointless.

Might as well get something out of it.

>>26970257
>>26970270
.. huh. Isn't Kagome from there too? Crossover? HAHA; no

If we tell dad our thoughts, he's just going to say to pick Nel...

>>26970234
Yeah this. I wonder if we're going to have time for a farewell montage.

Just sneaking out isn't an option, they deserve better than that.

>>26970257
pick Chad, ask this

>>26970345
Yeah that's true.

But I'm afraid that that is the best choice.

Like Neliel's profile was all positives, while Chad was pretty vague.

>>26970257
Chad and this. We precog now

>>26970241
Though maybe I'm reading it wrong and it's more about being practical vs being weighed down by sentiment.

...I'm not sure if I like that message though.

>>26970109
[X[ Take Chad.

Better do this quick.

>>26970346
THERE'S NO TIME! IT'S YOUR SOUL ICHIGO!
And then we grab Chad/ Nel/ or Soi-Fong and jump in the del... bus to Japan's version of the vatican.

>>26970345
"... So you're honestly debating if taking someone who's a healer and a strong fighter... and fast and spiritually aware with you is a good idea? I know you're messed up, but you can't be THAT messed up..."

[X] Nel
She can both heal and fight well enough. The other option would be Hime, which would be really bad if this is actually a trick. :P

Speaking of a trick, I love how we are essentially obeying Aizen's voice in our head.

>>26970486
By now we've all weighed our thoughts...our will though divided to a point might now be clear.

>>26970109
Also awesome as Chad is, I have to side with the CQC specialist that doubles as a freaking combat medic. Hopefully Nel will agree to endanger herself again for us.

Either way we need to have a talk with Apacci before we go, otherwise she's going to be chasing after us.

>>26970478
NO! nononono
we were good, we played nice, it still found us. its back its back its back we're doomeddoomed time to hide

In that case, Neliel is literally right outside, while we're not sure where Chad is currently.

Fun fact, Negima and Bleach place around the same year.

A trip to Kyoto (and a fight with a demon that resembled unit 1 from 3.33/Q) took place within the first few months of Negima's story (volumes four through seven, approximately)).

If this were a crossover, it'd be happening right now judging by the timelines.
Also, I'm throwing my vote in for Nel. I can't shake the feeling that HEALING mite b useful soon.

Fun fact: in the Bleach themed quest I've been developing, one of the characters is named Ayame and will also borrow some small things from the Inuyasha mythos

Sudden thought

Hime explaining the Arancar to Momo...and here and in Canon Hime is always hyper perceptive of how other women feel about Kurosaki.

Hime telling Momo how we changed the world of Harribel & the Tres. Brought friendship to Lily & Starkk, and how we 'saved' Neliel.

How we opened her eyes to the truth of the man she believed her lord and savior... How we saved her from her loyalty to Aizen... With the story of what he had done to Momo herself.

These are the kind of interactions we have missed by being unconscious.

Next Recap.

I need to hear these conversations, please.
I'll draw anything you request of me and even ink it.

>>26970681
Ok, hard mode it is then.

Now I really hope Apacci tags along

Damnit, I think we need to reconsider.

I don't think this choice was open-ended at all, but instead there was a right choice, and everyone else are varying degrees of wrong choices.

I mean fuck, he even had Neliel pretty much serve the exact functions she needed to in the last thread.

Worst part is that Chad has no reason to turn us down.

>>26970861
Not happening. You pay a price for getting your character crippled to near death.

>>26970890
We can only take one. We are not accountable for the actions of others one we leave.

>Chad

You think about asking your father for advice, but you decide to go with your old friend- Chad.

You contact Mizuiro. “Hey, Mizuiro, do you know where Chad is?”

-”He’s at his house, Ichigo.”-

Hmm, well then you should

>[ ]Ask Mizuiro to ask Chad to come here
>[ ]Go to Chad’s house
>[ ]Write in

>>26970926
Maybe Chad will have the good sense to know he isn't the best person for the job and this will just waste a bunch of time instead of both wasting precious time and getting us a sub-optimal guardian.

Doubtful though.

>>26970973
>[ ]Ask Mizuiro to ask Chad to come here
we promised to explain everything to the Arrancars, right? this'll give us the time to do that

>>26970973
>Ask Mizuiro to ask Chad to come here

Or reconsider.

>>26970681
HanSoloDeclaresEveryone'sImminentDeath.gif

I got tired of looking for the actual gif.

>>26970973
>Hobble over to Chads

Or... wait no.

Here's a thought... lets call him.
On a phone.

>>26970973
We can't walk. Either get him to come over or meet him at the train station. If the latter, bring the medic with us.

>>26970926
Too late and too bad. Debating takes forever.

>>26970973
Eh, too far.

Maybe ask Mizuiro for everyone to meet us at the train station?

>>26970973
So we aren't asking Isshin about Masaki possibly living in Kyoto originally?

>>26971025
Eh, technically we haven't said anything to Chad yet.

[X]Go to Chad’s house

>>26970997
true
let's do this

/tg/ needs to have more confidence in their decision. The constant waffling almost screwed us over in the past. We made a decision now we got to stick with it like a man.
Besides chad is awesome

>>26971021
...Yeah this.

We know his cell number, and Isshin has a phone doesn't he?

Let's talk to him instead of him receiving some vague summons from Mizuiro.

>>26970973
>[x] Write in

Decide not to waste time and ask Nel to come along.

Guys, guys.

You know what we probably have in stock, in this clinic, that would greatly assist our mobility?

A GODDAMN WHEELCHAIR.

Fast Wheels Kurosaki doesn't need legs to know how to rock.

>>26971021
This.

>>26971077
The problem is that one of the decisions was clearly the QM favorite.

And he's portraying it as a bad choice already.

I really don't want to put up with more of that bullshit, so the smart move is just to follow along.

>>26971106
Eh, I'd prefer to at least try a cane first.

>>26971041
Why would we need everyone to drop what they're doing (preparing for the war with Aizen) just to see off a dying friend? Just have Mizuiro do a brief conference call to explain things to everyone, talk with Apacci personally on the trip to the train station and get Mizuiro to summon Hime and Momo if the pair aren't busy so we can say goodbye in person. If those two are busy (likely), write them notes on the way to the station to be delivered in our absence.

>>26971110
how is Cos portraying it as a bad choice? all he wrote is that we decided against asking dad's advice

>>26971110
>And he's portraying it as a bad choice already.
Because Nel was the superior option.

>>26971021
Here.
Didn't everyone purchase cellphones way before Mexico and SS?

Give Chad a phonecall. No need to stress out Miz with mundane uses for his powers. He's busy with his own thing afterall.
Besides, we are leaving a message behind or something for everyone else.

>>26971110
Though if we change our minds now, he'll punish us even worse than he's already punishing us for being wishy-washy.

Goddamnit, we only thought of Chad because we had too much time to talk in the last thread.

>>26970926
It's why I voted Nel in the end, really.

>>26970997
Combine this with >>26971021 this.
We promised our arrancar friends that we'd tell them.
We keep promises.

>>26971106
also, what the fuck why aren't we doing this

>>26971117
when leaning on Nel, we outright collapsed after a short trip to and from Mizuiro's room. A cane won't be any better than a super strong girl keeping us up.

>>26971117
>Even bothering with a cane
>Not progressing straight to glorious ZOOOOM

Truly disgusting. Its like you don't even GO FAST.

>>26971143
Guys
Guys
GUYS
Cosgrove doesn't set out with a goal of punishing every little think we do every time he runs Bleach Quest.
If any of you bothered to actually read any of his posts from the past few threads, you'd now this by now.

>>26971106
Surely Urahara can make us a fast wheelchair that flies or something?
>>26971119
This. Massive meetings draw too much attention during what amounts to war time for two people leaving for a while.

>>26971174
We still have swordsmanship.
We can use a cane as a sword.

>>26971129
He brought out Monobear and said that's your decision.

By disregarding our dad's advice, we also disregarded Cosgrove's advice, and that's not a good idea.

...I just want to get this segment over with. Or at least get to the interesting part, so we should just go with the character who won't require an additional scene.

>>26971110
I don't think it's being portrayed so much as a bad choice as a potentially risky one. Chad is a solid second string fighter with no healing ability whatsoever, so if we take any damage or deteriorate too much further (waste any time/have bad luck finding the temple) he can't stabilize us and we're screwed. On the other hand, we aren't denying the team a more critical member while they're prepping to take the war to Aizen.

>>26971110
What kind of man bows to the QM's wishes.

>>26971208
A weak-willed one.

>>26971208
What kind of man know's the QM's wishes, beyond the enjoyment of all involved?

>>26971184
I don't even want to know what our negative modifiers for being crippled are for any kind of fighting. We are not combat capable right now.

>>26971194
>trusting advice for us going into what could be anything, including symbolism shit or loyalty trials
lel

>>26971226
what we really need is Kido
start casting it by using our lifeforce as spirit energy

>>26971194
As long as we can leave the room before Cosgrove falls asleep again I'll be damn happy. Feels like we've been burning rubber all last month so I'm eager to get things moving again.

>>26970968
Here's some advice: Don't.

>>26971194
You know that he uses monobear to screw with us not to say we fucked up, right? Have you read any of his non story posts?

>>26971196
> On the other hand, we aren't denying the team a more critical member while they're prepping to take the war to Aizen.


There's currently a problem with traveling thanks to the whole Blanks Situation. There's less focus on 'war!' than there is on' fuck, recover and lick our wounds.' expecially since it is currently impossible to take the fight to Aizen/Vice Versa

>>26971236
while im all for getting new powers using our life force to power them sounds pretty dumb right now

>>26971223
Dude, this entire arc is the result of what happens when you don't bow to the QM's wishes.

So... this.

No gradually regaining powers arc, no catching up with friends, no explanations of what happened with Aizen or even who all came back with us, and now we need to ride literal rails right off the map.

>>26971247
He's probably amused that we all freak out under the slightest provocation.

>>26971269
So the Blanks are preventing the usage of Garganta as well?

Man those guys get everywhere.

>>26971183
>Surely Urahara can make us a fast wheelchair that flies or something?
Fucking. Genius.

>>26971288

>>26971288

>>26971305
They're like rats. Crazy creepy same-face ghost rats.

>>26971338
I said gradual.

And it seems more like someone's just going to give us our powers back after we impress them enough.

>>26971183
>>26971312
>Surely Urahara can make us a fast wheelchair that flies or something?

He will press a button & Ichigo will be forced to fight it for some asinine reason or another.

>>26971288
Either this is bait or you're retarded.

>>26971338
You missed the word "gradually." As in, we have some downtime to social link with the remaining group members before running headlong into danger. With us rapidly deteriorating, we aren't going to check in with anyone but the minimum.

>>26971369
No were making pilgrimage to kyoto until we activate our fullbring and our shinigami/quincy powers will eat it and come back

Also, I will say this once more:

I will not make a situation unwinnable, but if you make subpar choices, it will effect how things go, especially the difficulty.

Fuck it, I'm not posting with Monobear ro the llama anymore, it isn't any fun anymore.

>>26971411
Not my expectation. Also, we can't risk falling asleep if we don't take a healer given that we probably won't wake up again.

Chad is spiritually sensitive enough to find the temple on his own if we're unconscious, right?

>>26971445
I thought that was the knife-fight between us and Nel? next to go is his pimp-cane privelages

>>26971454

fucking paranoid guys man

>>26971269
>impossible to take the fight to Aizen/Vice Versa
>Vice Versa
THIS RIGHT HERE is the most important post of the night; We might not know in character, but Nel looks like a more attractive option now if Chad isn't down.

Call chad. Ask dad about Kyoto and mom, talk to Apacci & the others, Miz conference call with everyone but Hime & Momo explaining our intent. Tell Hime and Momo our intent in person, and say that one word to them about how we feel. Ask them to take care of one another while we are gone. We'll be back soon

>>26971454

Kill yourself and take your lies with you.

>>26971461
>I thought that was the knife-fight between us and Nel?
I'm pretty sure that was where the trust for him went out the window. It was for me at least.

>>26971454
I'm good with whatever man. Just along for the ride and to talk about Fast Wheel Rocket Chair Murderbot Kurosaki.

Lets just rocket-wheel our way over to Chad's house and see if he's up for a vision quest.

>>26971454
Yeah, some people take to it with too much reaction or "Shadowruns"

>>26971454
So it definitely was a subpar choice.

And I really don't think we need additional difficulty.

Also the reason why you saying you won't make things unwinnable doesn't really comfort anyone is because most of us didn't doubt that.

It's just that we fear that you'll make the victory condition be standing on our friends broken corpses.

We'd still win, it just wouldn't really feel like it.

>>26971488
The problem is that Chad is automatically in, 'cuz he's our Bro and always has our back. So we aren't taking a healer, get over the fact that this is hard mode now.

>>26971488
Yeah now that we know our friends are probably safe, Nel seems a better option.

>>26971537
Nonono, not Hard Mode. Full Kubo.

At this point, perhaps.

>>26971537
We haven't even talked to him yet though.

I mean it'd be one thing if we've already spoken with him.

We misread the situation I think.

>>26971527
Huh, I thought we were are our house and not Urahara's place. How far of a detour is it going to be to swing by there first and what happens with the chair if we lose consciousness while driving it?
