You are still Schrödinger and for the past few... month's maybe? You have been trying to train your army to become a formidable fighting force. You have been slowly trying to get your scrub Adjuchas into something at least sort of useful, going out on hunting parties, and letting them eat to their fill. This sadly has not left you with a lot of time to build an information network, or strengthen yourself but at least you aren't hungry. You still have no idea how up to snuff they are compared to the current king of Hueco Mundo's army, mostly because you still haven't seen them.

You let out an overly dramatic sigh as you lounge in your cave, Sid the Squid in a partially catatonic state as the voices echoing though his mind cause him to be shut out from the world. You take a bite from a small snack as Jäger, a armor covered wolf with a love of more dakka, walks in. You look towards his form, his green eyes tracking over the whole of your small room and pausing momentarily on Sid before locking onto yours and narrowing in what you can only suspect is conclusion. In this time you have learned Jäger can be sort of a buzz kill when he gets started so you preempt them in talking.

"I've considered getting a hand puppet." You state out loud making Jäger blink.

Calmly, as if he has gone through this several times before, he walks in and sits down. "A hand puppet, Schrödinger?" He asks, his ability to pronounce your name one of the reasons you like keeping him around except when you don't.

"Yes, a hand puppet. I would name it "Moral Compass" then use it to justify all the truly horrifying things I do." You explain taking another bite from your snack.

"So why don't you?" He continues, letting you get it out of your system.
(1/2?)

>>25381314
It's been a long and terrible 3 day for me, hollow quest doesn't figure into the horribleness of it, but it's a fun quest that will help me keep my mind away from the shitty things I've got going on right now. So cheers!

"Because that is someone else's schtick, and if I steal it it won't be any fun. Not like I can kill and eat the guy and make it mine either." You frown thinking deeply.

"Well, sucks. I suppose I should as this now, not that I am really expecting much of an answer but, why are you eating shortbread fingers? How are you eating shortbread fingers? Where did you even get them? I suppose the general theme of my confusion is shortbread fingers." He explains making you look down at your snack.

After a few moments of staring at the shortbread fingers, surprise on your face as you rack your brain thinking where they came from you frown. "I'm not certain. I think there might be a shortbread fairy in Hueco Mundo." You explain as you feel where your mask has been parting in order to eat and wipe crumbs from it.

"There's not. Look, the king's armies seem to have taken more notice of us lately, and we still have no general strategy other than 'get strong'. Not saying that it's bad to have a strong army, but some more solid planning, or more direct hits are in order here." He explains to you.

"You express concern, oh thorny little wolf, you do not like being the nail in the hoof?" An eerie voice asks as the large spider hollow, Charlotte, asks as they slowly lower themselves from the ceiling.

They do sort of have a point, these quick raids are only provoking a stronger and stronger response.

Wat do?
[]Let's go on a big hunt
[]Send the scrubs out to recruit more.
[]How about we three go scout on the king?
[]Same as before, quick raids.
[]Other, please specify
(2/2)

>>25381338
Glad to be of help friend.

>>25381361
[]How about we three go scout on the king?
we know next to nothing about them does Charlotte or Jager have any abilities that would help surveillance?

>>25381361
Before I choose, could you tell me if the king or any of his men have an idea of what we look like? It would be easy to do covert shit and gather some intel if they don't know the face of the rebel leader. Even so, our transformation skill is good enough that we can do it alright...

I vote for this: We go to their city and try to be a 'recruit' long enough to gather some basic tactical information.

>>25381435
You have no idea if the king knows what you look like. On one hand you have been careful about letting enemies slip away, but on the other hand knowledge about a new leader has been spreading to unaffiliated hollows.

Reputation: Well known in some circles.
Hunger:Low
Damage none

>>25381486
Then I stick to my plan, but we should stay in disguise while implementing it, just to be safe.

>>25381409
Jager has telescopic vision for his more dakka.

Spider can burrow and stealth like mad

>>25381361
We use our shapeshifting powers to take the form of Sid the Squid, and infiltrate the king's army thusly.

...Is what we should've done months ago.

>>25381361
let's scout the king

Calling for checking out the king.

Want scrubs to do anything while you are gone?

>>25381601
Have the scrubs recruit and take out targets of opportunity.

>>25381601
Leave and don't come back until they can find something that they can honestly describe as interesting.

We should go see if we can nudge mantis into Adjuchas-Hood after we;re done spying.

>>25381601
Strongest scrubs lead the weakest scrubs on feeding frenzies. Mid-tier scrubs recruit.

>>25381633
This.

>>25381601
build info network I suppose, they'll run into trouble and fend for themselves well enough

Calling for recruitment and feeding for the weakest.

Final question. Do you take Spider and/or wolf bro with you

>>25381686
yes

>>25381686
Probably not, since they're not cool enough to shapechange.

>>25381686
It'll be easier to spy by ourselves. We don't have to worry about others and we have alot of stealth shit.

>>25381686
Spider

>>25381686
Neither.

Calling for going solo.

Writing now

>>25381631
Bump Mantis up into an Adjuchas?

I have an idea.

Sid the Squid seems comatose, and thus boring.

Which means that we've got an Adjuchas that is effectively completely helpless.

What happens if a regular hollow eats him?

>>25381361

Have we been using Glimpse to check up on our growing side project? I am curious as to how he is doing...

Also, I have a gift for you Azure.

I feel like such a shit writer now

>>25381862
Go do it.

>>25381883
I'm DMing for my group tonight as soon as I'm done eating, where will I find the time!

>>25381930
Sleep is for the weak and uninspired.

Actually, what if we appraise some of the forces we have? May as well see who might be useful. Also, maybe we begin feeding bits of Sid's mask to newly made hollows for SCIENCE!

>>25381993
>Also, maybe we begin feeding bits of Sid's mask to newly made hollows for SCIENCE!
NO!
Not only no, but FUCK NO!
If an Adjuchas has part of it's mask eaten, it stops evolving. We want to evolve.

>>25382011
We aren't Sid the Squid.

>>25382011
He didn't say our mask. He said Sid's. We don't give two shits about Sid, so why not?

>>25382025
>>25382028
Whoops, Midread.

"I suppose I should go meet my nemesis, or at least check out his army. You two stay here and lead the troupes. Big scrubs take little scrubs on hunts, middle scrubs build info network. Try to make sure you they don't start huffing glue, or what ever it is kids are doing these days." You instruct them getting a sign of affirmation from the two of them before they wonder off.

You bid goodbye to sid the squid and put him on the duty of finding out where your shortbread came from before leaving the small cave system. You navigate Charlotte's webs, ha I get it, and eventually make your way into the open desert night. You take in a deep breath of the dry, cool air as the full moon illuminates your path. You kick one of the energy dampening stones which make up the cave system with one of your feet before allowing your shapeshifting to take effect. You morph your body into some shape a bit different than your own, a bandage wrapped wraith of some sort, before using your shapeshifitng to augment your speed and propelling yourself into the night.

You leap and jump over the terrain, your augmented speed allowing you to make good time as you bound through the desert. You ponder over Lucifer's schemes, his cheap disguise not fooling you for a second, and you think about his plan to destroy order. You are certain there is more too it than that, but you can't quite place what.

After some time, and some help and snacks from the locals, you make your way to Los Noches. You notice in the time you have been gone some sort of construction has been going on which makes you a little curious. regardless you find an area with plenty of other hollows and start to mingle, asking about the king and how one can join up with the others. You hear some talk about the king being a semi-puppet, but with no information on who is pulling the strings. Oh well.
(1/2)

Yeah, this is the squid, not us. You know, the guy twitching in the corner?
Though maybe we should get him an aquarium or something we can tap on, bit of a way of showing why Schrodinger's top cat when we want to cow a force to question-namely, the idea of being strong enough that Schro can break another adjucha's mind to the point where they can be kept like a pet.

You also hear a rumor about the king's generals, and after some heavy implications that they might be his main fighting force you really want to check that out too.

You decide that the king has at least over three times your number in Adjuchas, and the fighting strength of the "generals" is unknown.

You really, really want to explore more.

But someone asking too many question tends to draw attention to themselves.

Wat do?
[]Try to find the general(s)
[]Look for the king
[]Just sort of aimlessly wander around.
[]Leave

>>25382122
This is 2/2 by the way

>>25382122

Aimlessly wander into the location of one of the Generals...

>>25382122
Look for the generals, stay innocuous though, they're likely vasto. If they notice us and initiate conversation, say that we heard this was the place strong Aduchas came to fight for the king.

>>25381970
but I'm not sleeping either! After my game I go straight to ERP until I pass out

>>25382197
This is me, just adding that I think it's important to try and not draw their attention. The more faces and names we learn the better. We're here for intel, not battle.

Rolled 3

rollan for random encounter

>>25382231
is that good or bad?

>>25382231
I hope a nat 3 is the best option.

>>25382197
Agree

You think about learning more about these generals so start wandering in a random direction, making sure to look totally confident in where you are going. You want to find one of these generals and at least get a measure of their ability so after asking a small imp like hollow where to find one of the generals, eating him after so there would be no witnesses, you eventually find yourself climbing one of the outer tower structures. You curse each and every stair as you walk up, certain to give each of them death when you are finished, before finally making it to the top. The drab white room is bathed in soft moonlight and sitting in the single large window overlooking the desert of Hueco Mundo is a very strange creature. They are dressed in black and red and have a fun little hat on their head. They are certainly female, the body very human looking, though their face seems to be covered in white pain except for two vertical lines that go over their eyes, and the eyes themselves looking to be covered in thick eye shadow.

They turn to look at you, a sad expression on their face as they reach over and grab a katana of some sort and put it through a small leather loop around their belt. Looking closer you see there is the remains of some sort of horn on the right side of their forehead attached to a piece of mask. You two seem to stare at each other for a few moments before finally the other person speaks. 'Who... are you?" She asks, her voice matching her expression, dark and totally miserable.

wat do?
[]Run, say nothing and just bolt
[]Source of info found, talk to them(wat say?)
[]sob a little.
[]"Do you like shortbread?"
[]Other, please specify

>>25382465
"I'm the shortbread fairy. Fancy a cookie and a bit of tea?"

>>25382465
We're here as another hollow. We can't be Schrodinger right now as sad as that is. Do this. >>25382197
>say that we heard this was the place strong Aduchas came to fight for the king.

>>25382465

"NIghtshade M'lady. I hear tell that you are one of the Kings Mighty Generals. Forgive the intrusion, however, I was driven to see one of the Generals with my own mask. Mighten I be so bold as to ask thy Name M'lady?"

Well, offer the shortbread, of course, but after something more serious. We are...Winston. That'd work. Winston, and we are a bit lost. Then offer shortbread as an icebreaker?

>>25382558
I can't help it, but every time I hear M'lady I think BFQ and then shudder in unhappiness.

Plus, speaking archaically would be weird, considering the way most hollows speak like average joes. Let's not say this.

>>25382506
this

>>25382630
Gonna agree here.
>>25382506
Yep. Shortbread fairy.

>>25382680
Perhaps we shouldn't act so whimsically? Remember, we're trying to distance our apparent self as far from Schrodinger as possible. Perhaps something plain like >>25382573
would work.

>>25382719
Second. We're in disguise, let's not act exactly the same as we do normally.

>>25382719
if we suppress our personality too much, things might get out of hand unexpectedly

best to be whimsically friendly

>>25382748
At least to those in power.

calling for whimsical friendliness, then offering shortbread as an ice breaker

Rolling for Whimsy...

So the kingsguard is already arrancar?

This is a lot harder than originally anticipated.

Also I forget, when did we first get a chance to see Las Noches?

>>25382862
Back when you were a young hollow exploring the desert. Thread 1-3 around there. So years and years ago game time

>>25382862

first mention of Las Noches was during our first trip to Hueco Mundo... Thread 1pt 2 or 2 I believe...

>>25382981
Is Tuesday. Tuesdays, ehhh, slow.

I tend to do conversations as more based on the player responses unless they choose something hostile, the other party is hostile, or there is a degree of failure. Since you are just talking no roll needed.

>>25382997
Pretty much. Well, we're slowly trickling in anyway.

>>25382997

True... I guess.

Can't really say anything otherwise, since I'm relatively new to /tg/.

"Hello! I'm, Winston! And I happen to be impossibly lost. I was supposed to look for one thing, then found another thing, and in the end wound up someplace totally different by mistake." You explain.

"Lost?" She stares you down, her heavy black eyes drilling holes in you. More holes in you.

"Yes, very, very lost. Say, sort of out there, but would you like some shortbread?" You ask pulling the shortbread fingers from your inventory, being careful not to offer up one of the doll's heads you still have in there.

"Short...bread?" She asks tilting her head.

"Your ellipses trouble me, though far less than your lack of knowledge about the noble shortbread. Made from only the shortest of bread, you see." You explain, barely stopping yourself from explaining the history of the cookie which involved indo-china and Spaniards.

You offer the cookie readily, and after a few moments the jester walks up to you, the heels of her unmatched pair of boots clicking softly on the hard stone floor. You panic for a moment as they stand in front of you, their eyes locking onto yours within your hollow mask. Before you can decide who gets all your stuff they raise a hand and carefully, as if worried you will break at the slightest touch, grab one of the small finger cookies and examine it. They stare intently at the cookie before running a finger along it and brushing away a few of the crumbs.

You let out an internal sigh of relief before you pick up a slight whisper "-get it?" She asks making you turn and look back at her.
(1/2)

"I'm sorry, what?" You ask making her glance back down, evidently not wanting to make eye contact when speaking. "Where did you get it?" She asks again making you nod.

"I found them somewhere. You know how it is, you pick stuff up along the way and they eventually just sort of happen" You answer before glancing around. "Er, might I ask your name?" You continue, deciding to press your luck.

They continue looking at the shortbread, turning it over in their hands while not looking at you. "General of Misery. Quesufre Sin-Fin." She answers.

Well, now wat?
[]Ask her something(wut?)
[]Tell her to eat the cookie
[]Ask why she doesn't have a mask
[]Discuss her sword
[]Leave
[]Other, please specify

>>25383114

[x]Ask for directions somewhere so that the "being lost" story sort of holds up

I'm tempted to just whip out our own, but that might be inappropriate

>>25383140

Seconding.

>>25383146
Not until we're Arrancar.
We do need a jester though, maybe we should totally try and recruit her when we attack.

>>25383088

My bad, then.

>>25383184
I meant all the asuachi's we have laying around with the doll heads

>>25383140

Oh, I thought you meant penis.

>>25383219

>Your Head

>>25383197
>where?
Shit. Can't remember.

Lab? Meeting room? Throne room?

Only places of Las Noches I can remember.

>>25383195

I've just had an idea. We could attach a doll head to each sword. In memory of the Nofunigami who we got it from... Especially if the head has no resemblance to the previous owner...


>>25383197
Say we were told to go and pledge allegiance to the King, but we got here and got lost looking for him...

Technically, that is not a lie, as we Were told to go do that, just several months ago...

>>25383197
Recruitment office. Add a really cheese and ham line like "I came here because I heard the King was recruiting strong hollows, I definately wouldn't mind serving you though."

>>25383245
Assuming this los noches is the same as the other is a deadly mistake.

Again. AU

>>25383114
Question unrelated to the situation, so we still have the mutated soul cutter (can't remember how to spell the real term, starts with a Z right?)? We might want to play with that or stab Sid with it at some point.

For now:
[X] Tell her to eat the cookie, and have one from our inventory ourself.
[X] Ask about her mask - We'd heard rumors (pretend we'd heard rumors) but that doesn't look healthy.
[X] Other - Also Quesufre is such a pretty name, funny that it seems to be in the same language as the geography of Hueco Mundo, unlike any other Hollow we've met. Maybe there's a connection there?

>>25383267
None of that Anon. None of that.

>>25383268

Considering this is an AU Hueco Mundo, you might have to help us with figuring out the locations of shit.

>>25383286
We need to though. We've got to flatter her up so she likes us, and after Cookies it's cheesy line. Hopefully she likes it enough that she hires us on right there.

>>25383271
This will do. Very, very well.

>>25383290
Well, Schrodinger could also ask her for a map at the end of the conversation.

>>25383290
And you will learn it as your character does.

If we want a place, why not something that won't potentially end up with us in the hands of the most likely person to accidentally or purposefully kill us, the King? Like, what kind of items would hollows even use?

>>25383267
Nah, that has too much of a chance of us getting permanently infected with some crippling form of misery. Besides, if we successfully take out the king and the power behind him we'll have a decent chance of her working for us anyway.

>>25383296
We are not here to flirt. More so with someone who could literally slaughter us. It's the rap battle all over again, I swear. We want her on our side we go with what >>25383331
said.

>>25383331
Indeed. Our aim is high and distant, to gain enough influence and power to properly avenge Webster.

Seems pretty split between the "recruitment office" and "To the king"

Please vote now. Will tally after potatoes.

>>25383381
to the king, recruitment office is boring and not our problem

>>25383381
I vote potatoes. Recruitment office, too.

>>25383381

The King, but I do think we should ask about the Woman's lack of mask.

>>25383367
Ah Franklin, never far from our thoughts, she must be avenged Anons. Justice demands the Shinigami burn for what they did to her.

>>25383381
To the king

>>25383381
vote for king, would be good to know people we are fighting against

Calling for king and asking about lack of mask Any particular way you want to phrase it?
[]Loyalty pledge
[]Have to give him something
[]I am a rebel spy.
[]Other, please specify

>>25383489
>[]I am a rebel spy.
This, definately.

>>25383489
>Tell him we heard this is where strong hollows come to fight for their king, then offer him some shortbread.

>>25383489
[]Loyalty pledge

Anyone else want to get Schrödinger mixed up in some regicide betrayal? If only for a short time?

>>25383489
"I was told to deliver some the for him (not to him, important distinction), but I am beginning to worry that someone was pulling my leg. Especially since I seem to be going crazy, or sane, it's weird in my head right now. Another shortbread?"

>>25383489
Loyalty pledge makes the most sense as it'll get us free of this confrontation without too many questions from her. Quesufre will ask what we have to give him if we choose the second option and will more than likely want to know where the rebels are if we let on we are associated with them.

>>25383531
Not really since we still have so much work to do establishing our army and, no affected to wolf-bro or spider-sis, but I really don't trust them to get enough done if we take an extended, unplanned and unannounced absence.

>>25383554
we're here to give him shortbread obviously.

>>25383568
Second. But say it after she eats hers.

>>25383489
[X] Offer him tribute of shortbread.

>>25383578
>>25383568
No, no, no, no. We are under deep cover.

Just say we are here to give a loyalty pledge. To all the anons saying no, we don't ACTUALLY have to pledge loyalty to the king, we just want to know where he is and it will give us a way to find him.

It's called a lie.

Wait, we were sent to find elbow grease. Unless that makes us too stupid to live

>>25383567
"no affect" should read " no offense" not sure why it doesn't.

>>25383621
>Just say we are here to give a loyalty pledge. To all the anons saying no, we don't ACTUALLY have to pledge loyalty to the king, we just want to know where he is and it will give us a way to find him.

This, king needs his 100cc of shortbread delivered stat!

>>25383630
"The king doesn't eat Winston. Gran Ray Cero"

>>25383621
Right, and next time we see Jester-chan she'll expect us to join her posse, because we apparent shortbread out of thin reitsu. We don't want to get co-opted into long-term commitments.

>>25383659
Because our ability to shapeshift has literally no ways around that.

>>25383651
Can't tell if you are describing our death at the King's hands or suggesting suicide by Vasto Lord Arrancar General-chan? Almost the same thing, but not quite.

>>25383684
I see us saying "Oh, shortbread. For the king!" as ending with us gran ray ceroed by Emo girl. And General-chan? Really?

>>25383672
Can we shapeshifter the flavor and feel of our reitsu? That, not our form, is the bit to worry about since it's how they can track us long distance and without using such mundane senses as the five standard mundane senses. So no, I don't think shapeshifting will help with that.

>>25383712
We have cloaking.

>>25383708
>Really
Hey, crazy hollow is crazy hollow, but if you think it's too much suggest an alternative nickname/suffix. Would you have preferred Generalita for example?

>>25383730
And they, I assume given bleach power-ups, can probably sense us through it. Also, wouldn't that look suspicious as hell?

>>25383751
Slightly. It is a being that has gone beyond hollows and is absurdly powerful. General-Chan does not fit.

>>25383785
Seems majority want to say we are here offering shortbread to the King? Is this correct?

>>25383659
I think we just stole shortbread by using glimpse and sending out tendrils we shapeshifted into existence. Also how we probably get a lot of new things we can use to amuse ourselves. After all, the human realm probably doesn't drain us too much if we are mostly in Hueco Mundo.

Rolled 67, 80 = 147

>>25383751
to go full troll/creepyposter, generalissimoe

>>25383802
I think so? +1 to that course of action anyway.

>>25383820
Nah, only the King gets that title. Bonus points to him if he can hear our modifications.

Seems majority want to say we are here offering shortbread to the King? Is this correct?

>>25383802
Yeah, safest way for the win, we get to see the king for the price of little shortbread

Or just avoid nicknames. Also, shortbread to the king is a bad idea unless we make it sound like the other adjucha are trolling us into suicide, probably.

Seems this is the most desired course of action.

Please roll 1d100. Best of first three.

>>25383882
This. If you want to do shit like that, flirt/shortbread the general since she showed she wasn't likely to kill us.

SHORTBREAD FOR THE SHORTBREAD KING

>>25383984

Come to think of it, having a food item that is somewhat difficult to get due to general lack of dairy/buttery in Japan plus the increased shinigami presence isn't such a bad gift. Kind of like how stuff like spices were so expensive before commercial farming and because eating good food was one of a few methods of amusement that the nobility had during that era.

>>25384180
I dunno why are you asking me? Ask the consumers.

"So why don't you have a mask?" You decide to ask.

"I am arrancar. We remove our masks." She explains.

You have heard of them before. Once you become a menos you are able to willingly remove your mask, probably hurts like a bitch though. "Why?" You ask making her glance at her sword.

"It helps us remember what it was like being human. A little. Makes us stronger." She explains.

"I see. Well, I would love to stay and chat but I have to deliver this shortbread to the king. Where ever he is." You explain.

Instantly her vision snaps up to you and and narrows her eyes.

>98

However she seems willing to put aside her suspicions for now. "I see. I will take you to him then." She answers before setting the shortbread down on a nightstand like table.

"No, no need I will just-" You start but she continues.

"Anyone entering the king's room without an escort is killed, no questions asked." She explains.

Well, if she puts it so nicely.

You walk through the massive fortress of Hueco Mundo, the strong adjuchas giving Sin-Fin a wide berth. That's a fun name. Sin-fin, Sin-fin, sin-fin's on the gin. You amuse yourself before you discover yourself in front of a large gate decorated with all sorts of creepy violent motifs. You step in after Sin-fin-gin-lynn and find yourself before a massive throne in a room full of hollows all of them tough customers. Sin-Fin steps to the side, next to another maskless hollow and lets you walk by.

You approach the king and look at him. He sits in resplendent silver colored armor, his mask a sort of pointed knight's mask. His face remains hidden but you can smell the power on him, however that isn't the most troubling thing. By his feet are several silver dagger looking objects, and upon looking at them your FATEBREAKER rail twitches within you.

"What's this then?" The King asks, his voice massive and powerful.

Enough to torture us into telling him our source?

"Hello there... king person." You say, suddenly uncomfortably aware of how vulnerable your organs are.

"I am here to offer you some shortbread! Yes, forged in the fires of indo-china and-" You start but he simply waves you away, evidently unamused by your antics but willing to let you leave.

"Begone. Such stupidity in my presence. I would be insulted, if you mattered. Fortunately for you, you do not. General of Misery, Quesufre Sin-Fin." He states making her look up at him. "Did you bring this thing to my throne room?" He asks

"Yes, my king." She answers calmly.

"You will be punished for this foolishness, severely." He explains before glancing back at you "You may leave, tiny unimportant thing. Go and tell your friends you managed to speak in front of the God-King of Hueco Mundo this day. That he let you leave with your little life after hearing his perfect voice." He explains.

This was a horrible idea, but you somehow managed not to die yet.

Judging from Schrodinger's reaction, no.

The mask may be ornamental for all we know, or he could possibly be a non-traditional Hollow. Or for all we know, perhaps a foreign spirit who felt like relocating to Hueco Mundo and carving out a niche there.

You give a quick bow to the king and walk back towards the door, glancing around as you do. Even the scrubs seem tough, and apart from Sin-Fin who we turned into potentially a torturers din-din, there are two other maskless hollows in the room. That, plus the king being what ever he is, and those weird silver things by his chair, show he has some level of amassed power. It is also safe to assume he has an ace in the hole, something powerful he keeps hidden. Hell, everyone does.

You give a quick bow in apology to her as you leave, resolving to leave the remains of your shortbread in her room as you walk out. You mentally add making it up to her if you ever make her become your subordinate.

You are now standing in the palace of Hueco Mundo. A few Adjuchas give you glances as you walk past them, your wraith like exterior ragged and torn over the days events.

Seconding this, let's go get Mantis Bro from the forest.

You have no way of knowing if they became a menos able to evolve or just one of the countless common menos.

Even then you would have little to no way of finding them due to being made of tons of different energy all crammed together

Still say we ration Sid a bit. After all, there are such odd things this gives us a chance for, having a comatose squid who we could break the mask of and try shoving down random throats.

I hope low rolls are good.

You make your way out of Los Noches, secure you have gained an assload more knowledge. That is a proper British assload mind, not any of that metric bs. You run through the desert, your wraith like form difficult to manipulate as the other, the idea of comfortable comes to mind.

As you run through the sands you find an opening to the forest of Menos which you duck into. You start shifting back, your long violet hair breaking free from the back of your head and falling to the ground as you look for your mantis bro. Or sis. Person. As you look you let your mind wander, inevitably ending up at yourself, you narcissist. You remember what Sin-Fin said about why she became an arrancar, remembering why they are human, at least a little, and feel something strange twitch in your chest. Probably gas from all the shortbread. Speaking of why do you like shortbread? Not like you can eat it, or it does anything for you. Then again why did you have to be specific about it being a British assload as opposed to a metric? Could you have been British?! Totally velvet undergrou-

"Hello" You hear a sickeningly beautiful voice from beside you making you ram headfirst into a Grand Menos.

The Gillian looks around confused for a second before it resumes being tall. You rub your mask and look over at the too beautiful creature which called for you. Standing in his flowing robe is Ezekiel, or Lucifer, or Stan... the Adversary? Author of evil? Mr. Sam? What ever

You grumble as he remembers to turn down his strange energy which makes you entranced before giving you another of his smiles. "How have you been, Schrödinger? We didn't get too talk as much as I would have liked last time, I'm sorry for that." He explains. "I have a little time now if you like."

I'm pretty low on the totem pole as far as Hollows go, but if there's someone with that much power that makes my fatebreaker sense tingle, I've got to wonder why he's wasting his time buggering off in a desert instead of exploring other places. And pardon me if I'm presuming too much, but I think your presence shows that Hueco Mundo and the Soul Society aren't everything to the afterlife.

You dropped it all off at Sin-Fin's room. As a way of saying sorry

"Who pulls the puppet king's strings, oh tempter of kings?" You ask, the blow to your head making you want to rhyme again. ""My rhyming has been a little off today, but that jerk ass king sent me on my less than merry way. By his attitude I would rather not assume, is his strings being pulled can he not leave that room?"

"The... oh the current king of Hueco Mundo? We do. Sort of.. It works like this, I have certain allies in the shinigami ranks. These allies have been secretly aiding another captain, making knowledge able to be found, keeping others off his trail, secretly allowing certain parties to get close so he can use them, other such small things. This shinigami managed to subdue that king, just before you became a menos actually, your little invasion giving him an excuse to slip away undetected. He is the one pulling the king's strings, so it isn't like I can just walk up to the king and tell him to play ball. I am his bosses bosses boss. Plus, his boss doesn't even know he has a boss, so in the end it becomes one giant mess." He lets out a sigh.

"So why is that king buggering around this desert wasteland instead of playing somewhere else? I assume your existence means there is more to this afterlife than meets to eye. Shinigami border guards?" You ask making him laugh.

"No, no, angel border guards along the astral pathways. Much worse. Shinigami have that... shikai and bankai thing? Where they become stronger and then have oh so dramatic fights? Angels are a bit... they either judge you or they don't. They either hit you with 100% or not at all." He explains. "Of course, that is assuming the soul king even allows the information that there are other soul societies to escape. The spirit world of the Japanese are still very isolationist."

You reach into your inventory and pull out only crumbs. "Oh silly me. It seems I was overly hasty to share my pastry and now there isn't any left to give to you. Tis' quite a shame, a smirch on my name. I should have brought more for Lucy." You rhyme, thinking this joke is impossibly funny.

"Right. If that's all I am going to go-" He turns to leave, evidently less amused by your shortbread fetish.

"Hold, hold!" You shout.

Once was funny, twice was fate, three times? Necessary. Now? Leave the horse alone, you killed it.

You silence your brain before asking "A babe I did find when I was fresh made,
A boon unto him I happily gave,
Pray tell me O knower of many-a thing,
What kind of future does that boon of mine bring?"

He seems thoughtful for a few moments before replying. "The boy will be used, eventually. After you have your kingdom of the damned, and put a puppet ruler in it's place I feel we have an opportunity to... encourage the boy to become something impossibly useful for us. You can act as a mentor and guide though I would encourage not to reveal your hollow nature to the boy for a very long time." He explains in thought.

"So what exactly happens after we destroy order?

Dance in the ashes of eternity? Bask in oblivion? Help you create a new, better order, where a person who I'm pretty sure was born in Britain winds up in some weird Japanese afterlife." You ask making him frown.

"Not... exactly. I suppose there is no harm in telling you. Have you ever wondered how souls could die? Or get sick? Or any of the countless things the shinigami display?" He asks.

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES "Maybe once or twice, why?" You ask, playing it cool.

Ha! Jokes on you, I still see the posts.

"The soul king, after getting the souls into his little playground, lets them generate spirit energy, indeed encourages it, and when they are nice and fat he devours them. That is why he gives the command to hate the quincy. They obliterate souls, but the souls don't go to his stomach, and that makes him hungry. The balance of souls they talk about is just their way of saying how much their king wants to eat. How many have to die in order for him to not cry like a little baby. In answer to your question, once we are done who says we need to do anything?" He asks

"Well that's... something." you say.

Now wut?

[]Ask how he intends to kill the great old- Holy shit the soul king is a great old one?
[]Ask him something else

So why haven't I ever even heard of the Soul King's enforcers setting foot here?

I'm pretty sure there are guys who are made up of hundreds of thousands of souls.

Does the Soul King not like the taste of my kind?
