Vigésima Primer (Forward dated to Monday morning)

[foundtheheart]

*The PCD turns on to record a rather unusual sight: Ulquiorra is sitting at a table inside Orihime's clinic, eyes focused on a Go board as his hand retreats from making a move. Sitting across from him is Hitsugaya, eyes similarly glued to the board as the Arrancar indicates that it's his move. Hitsugaya makes a move of his own, and the pattern

[Yeah, he sensed everything... but he couldn't do a goddamn thing about it. >8|]

Enjoying yourselves?

[May just sound a little more peeved than normal.]

[foundtheheart]

*We already had a fairy anyway. Considering and making his next move before he even acknowledges you.* What do you want?

*May sound even shorter than normal. Really long couple of days.*

[smrtrthanyou]

[Oh bite him, Ulquibat.]

Considering I was spending the majority of the last event stuck in one position, an explanation as to what the hell happened would be much appreciated.

[foundtheheart]

*He could use a meal after that fight...also, still continuing the game and not even looking at the PCD.* A battle.

[smrtrthanyou]

[Hands... no, TEETH off.]

No, really? I couldn't tell that much in the sensory overload that hit me once everything returned to normal.

[foundtheheart]

*But his only other option is Gillian...and lalala, still not looking at you.* You can ask Aizen when he returns.

*Translation: Emobat doesn't feel like being helpful to sarcastic nutjobs right now.*

[smrtrthanyou]

[...buh?]

Aizen-sama?

[Okay, now you have his interest.]

Cuarto, an explanation. [...ugh, you're going to owe him for getting this word out of him.] Please.

[foundtheheart]

*But he wanted you to go away...oh fine, have some details.* He turned into a creature similar to a Hollow and was killed by another resident of the city.

*And still continuing his friendly game of Go with the Shinigami captain.*

[smrtrthanyou]

...killed?

[Killed? Killed?! KILLED?! Szayel was actually, surprisingly, struck speechless.]

[foundtheheart]

Yes. *You should try silence more often, Szayel.*

[smrtrthanyou]

[Oh shut up; he just tried it for over a week. Still, this is something to really think about. If Aizen could just be killed...]

...who killed him?

[foundtheheart]

*But he couldn't properly enjoy the quiet because everyone else was being noisy...clack. It looks like he's winning the game, by the way.* I wasn't present and the energy signature was unfamiliar.

[smrtrthanyou]

...I see.

[There's a long pause before Szayel finally shuts it off without a word. He has a lot to think about.]
