[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.

I'm more used to fighting just to stay alive, or keep other people living... nothing to be proud about there.

[notbyakushi.livejournal.com]

You do not feel proud for protecting those who depend on you?

[satisfies]

A job's a job. That's all. What's there to be proud of? The second my contract ends, they're on their own.

[notbyakushi.livejournal.com]

I see.

[8|]

[satisfies]

And you?

[notbyakushi.livejournal.com]

I see no reason to answer.

[satisfies]

I guess you don't have to, but that's not very fair. I gave you my answer and everything.

[notbyakushi.livejournal.com]

It would make no difference, you have proven yourself incapable of understanding it.

[satisfies]

Try me.

[notbyakushi.livejournal.com]

For what reason? Humoring you?

[satisfies]

I'm genuinely curious now.

[notbyakushi.livejournal.com]

That's still not a very good reason.

[satisfies]

It might give me some perspective on life.

[notbyakushi.livejournal.com]

Hm.

[Do I look like a therapist to you? No? Good. :|]

[satisfies]

Hmmmm?

[ but you'd make such a good one... ]

[notbyakushi.livejournal.com]

[...first thing that came to mind, Sesshoumaru The Certified Therapist from That One Fic.]

It is your own responsibility to give perspective to your life.

[Pause.]

And find an outlet for your curiosity.

[satisfies]

I'm expressing my own curiosity right now, aren't I?

But that's a pretty cool attitude. And you're right... it's up to me to figure this stuff out. Hyahhaha, I'm a little too old to start questioning my way of life though.

[notbyakushi.livejournal.com]

Hmph.

[UNIMPRESSED.]

[satisfies]

You're a pretty quiet guy. I guess that's part of your coolness though, eh?

[notbyakushi.livejournal.com]

[...slightly taken aback, but of course, he must not let it show.]

I am who and what I am, nothing more.

[satisfies]

Hyahahaha, that's right! You're really good at this.

[notbyakushi.livejournal.com]

Hmph.

[Well. Of course he is.]

[satisfies]

You must be a hit with the ladies.

[notbyakushi.livejournal.com]

[This is the point where most people would splutter incoherently.]

Excuse me?

[satisfies]

That cold attitude's gotta drive them wild! No?
