First blossom ❀ Video.

[Enjoy Byakuya's usual blank face, no real hint of emotion present.]

It is foolish to close one's eyes to reality, but by the same token, it is ridiculous to expect those who have been brought here will simply bow our necks and accept a duty imposed on us by foreign gods, questioning nothing.

[A small pause.]

I am, however, willing to admit there has been no inconsistency to be found between what we have been told, and the world we are currently in. I urge anyone who has, however, to step forward and speak. Perhaps then, if this is meant to be a silly charade, it will fall apart before too long.

[And if it's not a silly prank of some sort... welp. He doesn't say that, though.]

Additionally, should anyone hailing from Seireitei be present, I request they make themselves known at once.

Seritaheri? The hell's that supposed to be?

If you do not know, then it does not concern you.

Says who? Maybe I'm interested.

[notbyakushi.livejournal.com]

Your interest is none of my concern.

Is that really so ridiculous? Most people don't bother to question things... they just do what they're told if there's some gain in it for them. As long as they plan to keep me well fed, I've got no complaints.

[ shrug. ]

This is way too elaborate just to be some "silly charade" anyway.

[PERMAVIDEO]

[notbyakushi.livejournal.com]

Then I should expect no more of you, if you so easily confess your simple-mindedness.

[satisfies]

What's so bad about being simple minded anyway?

[notbyakushi.livejournal.com]

If you do not question, you will end up being lead to do something you will regret.

[Take it from him, man, he learned the hard way.]

Which districts have you walked past in your time here?

[PERMAVIDEO]

[notbyakushi.livejournal.com]

I have explored some of the one I was assigned to, Heimdall, and I have also ventured into Sigyn, Hel, and Freyr. I wonder if the rest look much the same as those.

[therangerking.livejournal.com]

They do. [ Softly. ] Yet the colours of Heimdall's Hall has returned to it, and if you stand further from it you can see how stark the colours are against the grey skies. Where people have met and where they live and breathe, it is far brighter, and you can hear the voices of the natives as if they are real, instead of mere shadows.

This is no trick.

[notbyakushi.livejournal.com]

I see.

[A small pause.]

Knowing of the reality of our circumstances does not make the entrusted task any easier, however.

[democratize]

Seireitei? Where's that?

[Though Alibaba's been stuck in Balbadd for a while, his adventure to explore new places hasn't diminished at all.]

[notbyakushi.livejournal.com]

If you do not know, you need not concern yourself with it.

[democratize]

Hey, it could help us out if we know about each other.

[notbyakushi.livejournal.com]

On what basis can you say that?

I see. If I may ask, where have you looked?

I... haven't been able to find any inconsistencies, either.

[Chihaya hesitates, looking... worried? Shaken? Maybe a little bit of both.]

If this is a charade, or the set of some production, it's well beyond the means of any studio in the world.

[PERMAVIDEO]

[notbyakushi.livejournal.com]

[...he has no idea what a "studio" might be, so he will just. Give you an elegant shrug in reply.]

Given the already visible effects of people in the city, I believe it might be productive to admit the current situation as reality. At least for the time being.

[PERMAVIDEO]

[sora-wo-koete.livejournal.com]

But... gods? Really?

I'm having a very hard time believing that to be true.

K-Kuchiki-san! [ Or rather, Kuchiki-san's brother. Is he Kuchiki-sama? Kuchiki-taichou... Ohgoshhowdoesshedothis-- ]

They've taken you too...? [ Wow. These Gods must be really powerful to take someone like Kuchiki Byakuya without trouble. ]

[Give him a moment, he knows your name. You're the reason the entire damn war sped up and...oh, right.]

Inoue Orihime.

[He inclines his head, both in acknowledgement and agreement.]

[ A-Ah... Right. That was her... alright... ]

It's, ah. [ What? Nice to meet him? She's charmed? Honored? What. ]

--you're looking well, how have you been!
