An Angel & A Shinigami Walk Into a Bar † Audio

[wingsofsilver]

[The audio, like so many things, begins abruptly.]

-should’ve figured one of you guys would show up. I was just about to put the word out. [The first to speak is Gin, his voice getting increasingly louder as he comes back to where he left the guide. Contrary to his usually dry tone, he sounds rather somber at the moment.]

[The answering voice is

[...Welp.]

This is an unfortunate loss.

[Because, you know, Ukitake is actually really powerful.]

[wingsofsilver]

Don't let your emotions rush out all at once now. [Wait no, bad Gin, we don't want them emotional.]

[ofnoblemind]

Would you rather I said nothing?

[wingsofsilver]

I'd rather you did something besides- [... shit. Gin takes an audible breath and tries again.] forget it. I'm saying shit I don't want to.

[ofnoblemind]

[People always overreact in these situations. It only shows that they are unable to keep themselves under control. But at the same time...]

You're being honest.

[wingsofsilver]

Is that supposed to be a good thing?

[ofnoblemind]

It is what you make of it.

Still, Ukitake's disappearance is upsetting.

[Even if he can be prone to giving into his emotions from time to time, but still compromise others because of his pride says pride incarnate.]

[wingsofsilver]

That's a tame word for it.

The only upside to this is that this time I don't have to spend the next month tip-toeing around my roommate.

[ofnoblemind]

However, it is fitting.

Sometimes solitude is a blessing.

[Or always, if you ask him.]

[wingsofsilver]

[Can't really argue with that.]

A "blessing," huh? [Wants to argue, finds it odd that he does. After all, he kinda used to feel the same way.]

[ofnoblemind]

You can do as you wish without worrying how your actions will affect others.

[trickstermentor]

I suppose... one can take solace in knowing that he is at least going back enjoy a great victory for Soul Society and the safe return home of his cherished subordinate from Hueco Mundo.

[ofnoblemind]

[...Wait, hold on a second.]

Victory.

[And Rukia's safety, more importantly. Not that Byakuya is surprised, not completely. He always has faith in at least his abilities, and a grudging acceptance that his colleagues are able in various ways.]

[Alfred Filter]

[trickstermentor]

[And on goes the filter.]

Had Madarame-san not told you of the situation? It seems that he and Ayasegawa-san are from the latest point in our world's history, he tells me that Sousuke Aizen was defeated.

[Alfred Filter]

[ofnoblemind]

They failed to mention that detail.

Re: [Alfred Filter]

[trickstermentor]

From what I understand, Aizen was defeated and both parties who embarked to Hueco Mundo returned relatively unscathed.
