[Ichigo is sort of a sight for sore eyes right now. A moment ago, he was just about to make a call on his cell phone, but the next, he is no longer in the street like he once was. Now in the Nexus, he appears considerably stressed and tensed. He had just chosen to call Xcution, at great reluctance, but now the call wasn't getting through at all.]

[tamedhollow]

Eh....? Oh. Another me. [he gives a small wave, and then walks over] Ah, has everything been explained to you about this place?

[missingmynormal]

[Waves a little back at this new similar, but different lookalike.]

From wishing to multiples walking around, yeah. This place is really weird.

[tamedhollow]

[he shoves one hand in his pocket and rubs the back of his neck with the other] Ah, yeah, this place is pretty weird that way. But at least it's peaceful. I was told there were some Hollow versions of people hanging around -- er, bad ones, not like me, more like Inner Hollows -- but I haven't actually seen any of 'em. Except one of us, but he was kind of... [he waves a hand in a so-so motion] Weird. [ah!] Oh, there's an Orihime here who has a son! Which was really strange at first, but he's really somethin' else.

[missingmynormal]

It does seem peaceful enough, but there's stuff back home that I need to do, so being here doesn't help any. But maybe that peacefulness comes from how quiet things seem. Maybe those hollow versions of people went back to their own homes? [sdfhas, the Orihime with a son.] Yeah, I saw her. Never would've thought Inoue would have a kid. At least, not now, being so young...

[tamedhollow]

Well, apparently, while we're here, time doesn't pass back home. Which is good, since I can't get to Soul Society from here. Maybe... [he grins a little] Ah, she said he was actually a test tube baby or something like that.

[missingmynormal]

It is kind of nice, in that regard, but it still doesn't change the fact there's stuff going on back home. [Very awkward cough.] Still, test tube baby or not, I've never pegged Inoue to be a mom so soon. I guess being away from home changes things, sometimes.

[tamedhollow]

Well, there's nothing you can do about it, so you might as well get settled in. There's plenty of houses to choose from, or you can wish up one. I just picked an empty one... I suck at wishing. [ahem. The awkkkkwaaarrddddd] Yeah, it's pretty weird, since she's so young... but she's really mature, you know?

[missingmynormal]

I'll probably do the same as you. Just picking one that is. I'll probably end up accidentally wishing one up without a roof or something. [He grins a little.] She really is. She's young, but I'm sure she's doing great at raising her son.

[tamedhollow]

Yeah I uh.... did that. [he gestures to the ENORMOUS CHRISTMAS TREE that is, yes, still up. And probably will be. Forever.] I made it waaaay too big. Like 4 times bigger than I wanted. I have no idea how I fucked it up that badly. At least I have wishing for food down. [he nods] Ah. She seems to be. Weirdly enough, though, I don't think I've ever seen the Ichigo she lives with. Though I did meet an us who's way older and is a Captain!

[missingmynormal]

[Stiffling a chuckle because holy cow that's a big tree.] Well, at least it looks nice, despite its size. [Ah, intriguing Ichigo talk!] A captain, really? That's actually kind of impressive.

[tamedhollow]

[he makes a face at that chuckling, stifled though it may be] Y-yeah. Imagine how embarrassed I was when that thing showed up. Almost right on top of me, too! [he nods] It is! Of a new division and everything! For Vizards and Arrancar, apparently.

[missingmynormal]

Well, it looks good and you're not squished, that's what matters. [A pause to take it in.] I wonder if he's part of the future? Because I've heard time plays a part in here just as much as types of worlds does.

[tamedhollow]

Thank goodness. I mean, I could probably recover from that, but I've healed a broken arm before. It ah... it wasn't very pleasant. [Instant regeneration; not as instant as you think. He nods a bit] Yeah, he's about 80 years older than us, I think? Er... well, I guess that depends. Are you in college yet? [he tilts his head]

[missingmynormal]

Yeah, I guess I could imagine. Having a huge tree come down on you would be really painful. [He shakes his head in the negative.] Nah, I'm a senior in high school. I'm almost there, but still have a little while to go.

[tamedhollow]

It would. And it would have made my shitty wish even MORE embarrassing! [He grins. Good, so they're not TOO far apart] Not too far behind me, then! I'm a freshman at the science college the next town over. Do you work for Unagiya-san, too?

[missingmynormal]

Oh, that's coo- [He was going to comment about him being older, but stops at the mention of his boss, oh man.] ... Unfortunately, yeah... I got kidnapped from soccer practice by her the other day.
