[Welcome to the Nexus, fifth door on your right, past the screaming dog and the walking carrot.

There is an Aizen, an Aizen, not like you need more but as they say, the more the merrier. ]

No, you daft girl, he's just trying to get your money!

[He was shouting quite loudly, the bowl of popcorn on his lap jostled every time he waved his hands at the flat screen TV. And as he entered the Nexus, the wall that the screen was attached too vanished and as did the TV if it weren't for the glare that Aizen fixated it, as if daring it to vanish without his approval. But when the wall vanished, the TV fell flat on it's face, cracking the screen. For a brief second, all Aizen could do was stare at it, in dismay before yelling.]

GIN! TOUSEN! Get me a new TV! 

[Aaaand there was no response, prompting the man to actually look around and to see that there is wall, there is no pillar and his chair is no longer there. He fell flat on his bottom. The brief pain was enough to make him whimper, not just the pain but the thought of not seeing the season finale of his favorite day time television show. Thankfully he's not one to cry over spilled milk, wiping his eyes dry and standing, being the great evil overlord that he is.]

Now, where am I......[A pause.] Dammit, I swore I told Gin not to spike the tea.

(OOC: Open to all. This is Aizen, you can read his small history and he shall spout words in tv tropes. Have fun. Oh, and even if he doesn't seem dangerous, he is. The man plays sims with real people, it's called entertainment.)

[It took her a while but Kanisawa's managed to make it to the Ninth without meeting anyone in particular.

Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be anyone around...]

Hello...?

[She decides to wait a bit. Hopefully, someone would show up.]

[ooc: Anyone interested in answering her? She's looking for Hisagi ideally as she has no idea what happened to him after the hollow attack.]

INOUE!

[Quickly sending out her shield to catch the falling, bleeding boy, she couldn't help the fact that her hands were badly shaking, and her mouth felt as dry as a desert. Dammit, that...

Ulquiorra just...! God, Inoue...!

A hole. The damned arrancar had blown a hole through Inoue. She felt the pressure all the way from where she was standing, at the bottom on the pillar...and there was no way Inoue could have survived such a blast from point blank.

So she couldn't let that horrifying power get to her. She...had to heal him up. And then she'd kill Ulquiorra-dammit, she would! Her trembling hands rolled into fists, and she gritted her teeth, terror and rage mixing together in a boiling confusion of emotion.

Ah. Now Ulquiorra was behind her-she could tell. His reiatsu was so huge, it would be impossible not to notice. Turning around, she began to yell.]

YOU FUCKING-!

[...And then she realized that he wasn't there anymore. That she wasn't even in Hueco Mundo anymore. In her white, Los Noches dress, she looked around confusedly.]

...W...What's...?

[OOC: HUR HUR well uh I remembered I had this chick okay. :U;;; info in profile.]

[A spot somewhere in the Neutral Zone has had its mid-morning tranquility rather interrupted by a particularly petite Quincy thudding to the ground, sans a good chunk of her left forearm and plus a large gash across her chest and what appears to be a stab wound through her stomach. Already in copious amounts of pain as it was, Ametatsu bit down on her lower lip hard enough to draw blood in order to prevent herself from crying out. Seeing Kurosaki's horrible Hollow form slaughtering Ulquiorra and having its blade thrust into her stomach with enough force to send her flying were two entirely different things. Forcing herself into a sitting position, the first thing she noticed was the drastic change in her surroundings. It took her pain-muddled mind a moment for her memories of the Nexus to return, but as they did, she collapsed back to the ground, hair falling across her face and remaining hand clenching into a fist. Adrenaline had long since run out, and she had been operating solely on the will to protect Inoue-kun with anything at her disposal, even her life. At the very least, the black blade of Tensa Zangetsu had been removed painlessly as she'd crossed dimensions, but her wounds were quickly staining the grass and soil a dull crimson. Shutting her eyes, Ametatsu made a feeble attempt to inc forward, hoping a benevolent acquaintance would not be far.]

[OOC: Because I'm evil, canon-updated Ametatsu from just after fem!Ichibeast stabbed her. She's probably done for unless some healing is involved, so lend her a hand? *shot for bad pun*]

[He knew he was pushing himself too hard. He knew Retsu-san, the Retsu who was staying with him and Toushiro, was going to give him quite a scolding about it later. Standing out in the cold, when he'd been so sick recently was a terrible idea, and he knew it.

But at the same time, the Unohana from his world needed at least a few minutes when she didn't have to worry about anyone else. He'd hoped that he could escort her to Fourth and then find another of her counterparts before he collapsed.

He didn't quite make it. It had been a really bad fit, the worst he had since he came here. The pain had been blinding, consuming. Even now, he's unconscious, his scarred lungs trying to keep working. Sogyo no Kotowari are worried, too...

But even though he's tired, he won't give up. He's still fighting, even if he knows that it's a loosing battle.]


[OOC: Continuation of this thread, but open to anyone who wants to visit the sick ex-taichou.]

[His introduction to this "Nexus" has been rocky, to say the least. Between being introduced to himself at four-years-old, and then saving said younger self from a female Aizen by agreeing to surrender himself... Well. It's safe to say his starting opinion of this place isn't very high, which is saying something considering he comes from a universe where Aizen rules Heaven and Arrancar roam the Living World.

His quest for now is simply to find someone who can watch over the boy currently sleeping in his arms. Ishida doesn't know where to go. The area teems with reiatsu, some at once both familiar and alien to him, and he can hardly decide on a direction, much less whom to approach.

But he knows he has to find an ally soon. Without his cross he's more vulnerable; he only has so many Ginto tubes on him, and he's sensed the Arrancar here]

[With a loud shout, Zaraki Kenpachi charges into the Nexus, sword held high. He seems somewhat injured and bloody, but that doesn't seem to be bothering him at all. He takes several massive, running paces before skidding to a halt and looking around angrily.]

OI, BYAKUYA! YOU BETTER NOT GO TAKIN' DOWN THE BAD GUY WHEN I'M GONE!

[He looks around. Where'd the Cero Espada go?]

Oi, Yachiru! Where'd ya get off ta?


[OOC: He's been rebooted to the latest chapter.]

Ichigo! ICHIGO!

[Stumbling through the Nexus' Neutral Zone is a human woman, broken umbrella in hand and bleeding from a wound above her hairline. Soaked through and through, her skirt shredded along the edges and scrapes over her knees.]

ICHIGO!

(ooc: I'm evil. Have a Canon!Masaki, about .00005 seconds before getting nomed by Grand Fisher. Ichigos line up for the emotional trauma!)

[crack. he can feel the vertebrae of her neck give way under his spidery fingers. her wide eyes, once filled with vitality, now haze over with the fog of death. a rivulet of blood drips from her nose, tracing over her purple lips. his fist relaxes, and the soul reaper drops like a stone to the ground twenty-some feet below. when the dust from the impact clears, he smiles wickedly down at her crumpled form.]

Golly. Looks like I've made a terrible mistake. An' here I thought she was one of them hollow fellas...

[something about that Cheshire grin says otherwise. he merrily departs, his feet finding purchase in midair, looking for a new 'toy' to break.]

My eyes must be failin' me.

{ooc: chances are, he's roaming around enemy territory or somewhere near Hueco Mundo. feel free to attack him, berate him, join him, whatever suits your fancy! he's simply up for a little bloodshed fun.}

And what's this I've stumbled upon?

[Rangiku looked around the neutral zone, confused as ever.]

This is not Jubantai...

Hello?

[A wild Chad has been spotted. Wandering away from the border to Nueva Las Noches, she looks a tad distressed about something and in her arms she's holding a large cardboard box and keeps peering down into it. Every few steps she makes a soft shushing sound and, holding the box with one arm, reaches in to pet something.

It almost sounds like the box is meowing and purring.]

[It was a purely winter chill that swept a small area within a forest of the Nexus, a thick blanket of snow covered the ground and ice hung upon the branches of the trees around him. Light came through and shined through the ice, a small breeze causing the multiple reflections to dance upon the shadowed white as if small glowing creatures performing a show without care of an audience.

There the ice spirit had stopped, which was most likely the cause of the almost deep winter scene. There weren't even tracks in the snow that led to where he was sitting, staring just past a snowy structure that held his prints alone around it.

Now, he was just silent, hands rested in his lap as he sat on a boulder.]



(OOC: Any are allowed to bother him since he's just.. Out sitting. He might not talk to much at first, but prod him enough and he'll make sentances. And randomly I found this image and thought it was awesome o_o)

[Sneaking around the Seireitei, there appears to be a tiny silhouette of something roundish and a tad chubby-- With a closer look, it becomes apparent that whatever it is is wearing a captain's haori-- The haori of 3rd, to be precise. It seems to be carrying a wrapped up piece of paper under its arm. It turns around once-- and this reveals who it is-- It's Chibix10Gin. But why is he sneaking around the Seireitei?

It appears he is tailing someone. And trying his very best to be sneaky... his reiatsu isn't anything to really pay attention to, but he's not especially good at hiding it either... Still, he thinks he's doing an excellent job of tailing the 5th Squad Captain.]


[ooc: Locked to just_taichou :3]

[The first day of school had not gone well for Ishida Uryuu, four years old and proud to be admitted into Class One a whole year ahead of schedule. He'd been picked on for his glasses, and then the teacher had asked why his mother hadn't dropped him off at the gates like the other children.

And then his stupid father hadn't been there to pick him up at the gate when school finished, so he'd tried to find his own way home.

Now he was lost... he didn't even remember this part of Karakura Town.]

...Excuse me? Where am I?

[In the mountains far outside Seireitei, Nanao and Shunsui are slowly climbing upwards. It’s getting cold, but not too cold with them both bundled up in thick coats, scarves, and mittens. Still, it will be good to reach the top and get some hot cocoa.

As they make a turn, Nanao stops and looks out over the land below them. It’s so beautiful, the sun shining off the houses and buildings far below, and nothing but the sound of the birds and the trees up here. Nanao sits down on some handy nearby boulders.]

Do you mind if we stop and rest here for a little bit, Taichou?


[OOC: Locked to pinkprotector.]

[For the past few days, Nanao has been trying to help get Eighth Division in some sort of order. Despite the presence of her counterparts, there's an absolute deluge of paperwork, probably due to the lack of lower-level shinigami to help do the work.

So, today, Nanao is on a mission. She's going to find as many versions of Kyouraku-taichou as she can and drag their sorry selves in to do some work, for once!]


[OOC: Directed especially towards versions of Kyouraku, but open to all in the Neutral or Seireitei. Careful, though...she's on a rampage.]

[It's only been a couple of days since a badly injured Kanisawa arrived in the Nexus. After being checked over by Unohana who explained the Nexus to her, she's now been released under the condition that she doesn't strain herself and end up back there.

She's now heading in the direction of Ninth. Hopefully someone there will know something about what happened to Hisagi at least.]

[ooc: Anyone want to intercept her? She's not particularly good at shunpo so she's going fairly slowly. Bonus points if they recognise her.]

*Grimmjow is slowly making his way through the Neutral Zone in the general direction of Seireitei, though he's looking out for the house of a certain Orihime. This most likely has something to do with the fact that he's got one of Ren's arms around his shoulders and one of his own arms around her back as he supports her so she can walk.* Told ya I'd kick yer ass.

(He's hoping to find snows_flower but anyone is free to bug them. Healers are especially welcome as Ren has a few broken ribs and several small but deep punctures in her right shoulder. Posting order is you-Ren-Grimm.)

[He had been up and out of the tent the moment the cries of the men stationed outside had reached him, only to charge straight into sunlight where there should have been night, and a plethora of reiatsu that was certainly not that of the members of his Division.

Hand on the hilt of Tachikaze, he glances around for them, searching for a hint of their reiatsu, his initial fear that they had "vanished"... but there were no Shihakusho left behind, and a glance over his shoulder revealed that however they had disappeared, they had somehow taken the tent with them.]

Eishima! Kasaki! [He barks the names out, his concern only showing itself as gruff irritability.] Mashiro, if this is some kind of game I swear...



((OOC: Blame calmdowntaichou, I was enabled! Dx Putting off intro'ing my Vizard!Kensei for... Captain!Kensei. Yeah. Apologies for fail, I'm still trying to get his voice right. And I will finish colouring his icons eventually, I swear. /procrastinator

...TRYING AGAIN BECAUSE LJ LIKES EATING MY POSTS WTF.

Edit: Sorry tags are so slow! I'll get to them all eventually. <3))

[Before the gates, Sereitei stands two individuals. One is the vice captain of the fifth, Aizen Sosuke and the other...the other is a rather well known arrancar. The arrancar looks like a shinigami, he wears the uniform. He bears no sword however.]

Don't worry, I'm sure they'll hear your case.

[Aizen speaks to the other, distance between then, there is no familiarity but politeness.]

((OOC: Posting order You, AIzen, Szayel))

[After a brief...detour...Matsumoto is walking through the Neutral Zone with Gin tailing behind her. She doesn’t know how or why, but he seems to have lost his memories, so she’s trying to find a doctor or Urahara or somebody who might know how to help.

She feels so guilty for privately hoping that his memory loss is permanent.

She knows that whatever their problems are, this isn’t the solution. Forgetting the past isn’t the same as truly changing. But yet...just for a little while, she had been happy. Or at least content. She could accept content.

But, she’s squaring her shoulders and moving to find someone who can help Gin.]


[OOC: Posting order is you, Rangiku, Gin.]
