Mun Post: Blog Deletion

For various reasons, all regrettable, this blog is being shut down. The URL will be available shortly (about a week) after this is posted. It was fun while I was around, and my apologies to those I am mid-RP with. It sounds awful and I feel awful for it being a factor, but my inclination to be a part of this blog has waned significantly. I do still want to run it, but I have no motivation to check and update it or seek RPs out when I think of it. It’s a lot of work and mentally draining when I’m already involved in taxing academic pursuits. 

Thanks to everyone who RP’d with me, it was fun. I sent everyone I’m currently involved in RPing with a goodbye message, too, so if you didn’t get it tumblr ate it, I’m sorry.

If you’d like to say hi, my personal is here.

Chapter 625

{Hey guys, so in light of some recent developments as of Chapter 625 in the manga, this blog will be undergoing some changes in appearance, story and just about everything. Will continue to RP with current info etc until updates are fully in place, and I’ll be posting when that turnover officially happens :) I have a few other blogs going at the moment (primarily Homestuck (Kanaya Maryam; an ask and an SAU RP, I am HS trash), so I’m not as active on this one as I would like to be, but hey, that’s how it goes, unfortunately. Anyway, enjoy the update!!!}

“Yes, where I’m from, that’s what spiritual energy is called. It’s different here though, like it’s used and channeled for different reasons, in different ways.” She looked at the menu. She couldn't read it, but the illustrations were rather delicious looking. “Hmm. Whatever you’re having I suppose. Everything looks good, so I’d be here for a while trying to decide.”

To Cast A Different Shadow (+ effortlessxshikamaru)

[Beginning to trust Shikamaru, she smiled softly at him. She lengthened her pace slightly, noticing she had fallen behind a little in her wanderings.]

You do get used to it, unfortunately. An unattractive lifestyle, but essentially the only one I am now afforded. I do get the occasional break – now, for instance.

As to you surviving there, I believe you would be exceptionally attractive to the Hollows, given your strange and high Reiatsu.

[She smirked and chuckled.]

And I doubt your evident apathy would help you very much.

[Her tone indicated teasing, although tentative; she wasn’t sure how far she could push him yet. She suspected that underneath his shallow boredom lay a mastermind of some kind. Strategy? Tactics? Definitely something. She waited for his reply, confident, but still hoping, that she hadn’t gone too far.]

She smiled. Gardening. They could use some gardens in Los Noches. Nel sifted through the other information she’d just been given. It was rather vague; she still didn’t even know which country it was. Orientation was important to Nel, as it is to most. It was more tactical on her part than anything. “I’m from Hueco Mundo, “Hole World”. Hollows, like myself, live there. It’s grey, drab desert from horizon to horizon. Which country have I ended up in?”

Of Green and Of Death

[em-archive]

[Nel huffed, amused at the joke also.]

My Garganta haven't been particularly compliant of late, sending me every which way. It is quite beautiful here, and I'm glad to be here. But I am not so glad about what these constant malfunctions could mean. I'll dwell on it later. 

In terms of assisting me, it would be great if you could tell me where I am. It seems very remote here, and there is no indication of the location of this place. It is quite beautiful, though.

Of Green and Of Death

[em-archive]

[His doubt for his own abilities could be seen as humility, but she suspected, as she usually did, that there were more facets than Shikamaru was letting on. That twist was still in place, and felt awfully nostalgic. She set it aside, deciding to deal with it when it revealed it's nature.]

Is that a noodles stand over there? I would love to try some of them. There are a few seats free. Ah, there's a table for two. People who can't see me will sense my presence to some degree and move around me, so it won't be a big deal.

[Nel felt more strange looks amassing on her, and realised that perhaps the unfamiliar Reiatsu of the place was giving her more visibility than amongst the Humans she was accustomed to. Her outlandish dress would no doubt lend suspicion to her, and accusations of being some kind of spy... No, Nel, calm down. She'd been through that before. It was a terrible experience, and one she dreaded repeating.]

Shikamaru, I think I might be able to be seen soon by more people than yourself - as in, just about everyone. I would appreciate it if you could assure them that my presence is not intentional, or malevolent if I am approached in an accusatory manner. I have had something like that happen before, and it didn't end well, for either of the parties involved.

To Cast A Different Shadow (+ effortlessxshikamaru)

[Nel looked at him for a moment, confused as to his misunderstanding.]

Well, you are obviously quite powerful, if you can see me. I am of the highest order of Hollow evolution. I meant no offense, but your Reiatsu is a very curious phenomena to me. It feels different from the Human energy I am accustomed to. I am beginning to suspect I have in fact been transported to an alternate world. 

[Realising she had rambled a bit in her musings, she stopped and smiled at the young man, her amusement at his last comment evident. After a moment, she indicated around them; they had stopped walking. There appeared to be something akin a market in their surroundings, although slightly more permanent. The wooden structures were almost hidden behind customers, and the customers by wares. A few of the stalls were selling hot food, most of which smelled interesting and delicious to Nel. She felt a slight twist in her Reiatsu, and hoped it was only a reaction to the strangeness of the unfamiliar, peaceful, and bustling place.]

So, where to now?

[em-archive]

Vampryss? Well, that is rather an impressive title.

[She had studied the many facets of human life, and knew about the subtle Vampire communities that existed. That explained the hint of humanity in the woman that was incomplete and other.]

I am honoured to meet you. You look as though my kind are not uncommon company for you, to some extent. We share certain traits, do we not.

[It wasn't a question. It was a quiet statement of fact. Nel was curious as to Rosetta's presence here; surely she could live safely among the humans? There were so many ways she could conceal her identity. Nel supposed that there must be a reason for her seclusion, and respected that.]

[Nel looked around as the light began creeping over the horizon. The Garganta had taken her to a place that seemed relatively untouched by Humans. The forest was intact, and there was no distant roaring of destructive machines to be heard....

The Absence of the Mun is Over

Hey, guys! I've been super inactive for aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaages because school had, like, taken over my life (grrrrrrrr, screw you, future university stuff), but I will be here for a while now. Sorry to everyone I have threads going with, and I will be replying to them ASAP :D

[em-archive]

[Nel watched, intrigued by the device, as the symbols on the screen flashed and changed. She watched the transition from consideration, to resignation on his face. Had something she'd said offended him? She hoped not. She wondered about his view of Hollows; was it scientific or was it philosophical? From what she knew of Glitch, she would say the latter was less likely. She smiled at him, trying to determine if the expression on his face was aimed at himself, or her, and to alleviate the tension.]

That could take a while. I would rather not stand around. It would probably be best if we spoke as we walked; I could take you back to Los Noches, as my guest, and show you around, if you like. We may encounter some of the higher level Hollows on our way, in which case I can tell you about them, as it is easier to point out distinguishing features than it is to describe them. When in the lower stages of development, Hollows are very primitive, but each one has a different appearance and abilities.

An Unlikely Reunion (+ photonsandgrenades)

[At his mention of ‘research’, Nel’s eyebrows rose.]

I see. And how is that going for you?

[‘Well, he won’t be having fun for much longer by the look of his gear,’ she thought.] 

[em-archive]

[Nel smiled knowingly; even if she explained her presence in as vague terms as she asked, she doubted the black-haired woman would understand. Nel couldn't call her a Human, she was slightly different. She would try regardless. She spent a moment considering her answer.]

Hmmmmm... My name is Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck, Tres Espada. What brings me all the way out here is a Garganta, and the sense of peace that seems to permeate it.

Might I ask the same of you?

Of Green and Of Death

[Nel looked around as the light began creeping over the horizon. The Garganta had taken her to a place that seemed relatively untouched by Humans. The forest was intact, and there was no distant roaring of destructive machines to be heard. It was a...

[em-archive]

[Nel looked at the image Glitch was projecting, recognising it instantly. She nodded as she began speaking, grinning as she realised the cyborg had literally named it "a giant Hollow".]

Yes, we have a name for it. "Menos Grande".

[Translating it mentally from Galician as 'less great", Nel pondered that perhaps both names were in their ways exceptionally comical. Although, as her musings continued, she remembered that the Japanese lettering for them meant "Great Hollow", so it wasn't overly ridiculous.]

It's a primitive collection of souls - the only thing more basic is a single-souled Hollow. I could probably tell you more about Hollows in ten minutes than you'd learn by researching over as many years, if you'd like. I don't know if it's possible to do cellular research on them, but then again, Szayelaporro did a lot of work of that caliber. Do you have much else?

An Unlikely Reunion (+ glitchthesecondbestcyborg)

Even though Nel was a familiar face he was still caution, and he had every right to be. I guess fighting of monstrous spirits will do that to a guy. In a fighting stance the cyborg spoke “uh, have you heard of saying hi?….” he stated with a small bit of sarcasm in his voice. That probably would have helped. something like ‘glitch is that you?’ would have even work. On that note glitch was surprised she could tell it was him with the mask and armor.

he let out a long sigh and stood up straight putting a hand on his holster. Maybe that comment was the best thing to do. Insulting your only way out isn’t vary smart. His mask popped up and glitch pinched the sides of his nose, as if irritated. “ugh sorry…. i’m a bit….on edge…” he mumbled to him self.  

"So… Yeah… fancy meeting ya hear… Having as much fun as i am?" he said light halfheartedly, making sure she new it was a joke. 

[em-archive]

[She had been seen - or detected at least. Nel took a few steps out from behind her vegetative cover.]

Evening.

[She inclined her head slightly as she spoke, and held her palms out and open to indicate that she meant no harm.]

Of Green and Of Death

[Nel looked around as the light began creeping over the horizon. The Garganta had taken her to a place that seemed relatively untouched by Humans. The forest was intact, and there was no distant roaring of destructive machines to be heard. It was a relief. They had left some of it alone.

Light footsteps pattered on the grass and Nel looked down to see a woman walking towards her. Curious as to the woman’s purpose, she stepped into the trees a little, causing a slight rustle in the leaves.]

So, where to now?

Reblog if you want a bunch of “have you evers” and “would you rathers” in your ask box right now.

[At his mention of 'research', Nel's eyebrows rose.]

I see. And how is that going for you?

['Well, he won't be having fun for much longer by the look of his gear,' she thought.] 

An Unlikely Reunion (+ glitchthesecondbestcyborg)

[Nel sighed. The book she had just finished was quite interesting. She closed her eyes and leant against the bare wood of the barren tree, feeling the dry sand beneath her. Footsteps behind her caught her attention, and turning, she saw Glitch. How had he got into Hueco Mundo? Well, surely if he could see her, he would have high enough spiritual pressure to observe lower Hollows. But even so, navigating a Garganta is no easy task for a Human, although Glitch didn’t seem to be quite as Human as the rest of them.

She stood and began walking towards him, wondering if the encounter would be on friendly terms or he would feel affronted by the abrupt manner in which their last conversation had ended; Nel had had to investigate a Hollow gathering nearby.

As she got closer, she saw he was acting very cautiously, and looked as though he was making many observations. What was he doing here?]

[em-archive]

Oh, well, if you insist. Hi.

It's fine. I can understand why you'd be on edge, in a place like this. Although, I live here and am among the more powerful of my kind, so others tend to avoid me.

Fun? Please. It's really quite boring here after a while - especially when the protection of Las Noches is a given constant. There are only so many hideyholes and "hidden" passages to be found; although, it was fun to look for them.

[Chuckling lightly at the memories of childNel, she briefly assessed his condition.]

The reverse seems true for you. 

[Frowning a little, she inquired aloud as to his purpose in Hueco Mundo.]

Surely you aren't here on holiday or somesuch?
