✞ video

[yet_shall_live]

[The video switches on to a portrait shot of a man with long, lustrous hair and fine features that might be considered beautiful --- if he wasn't glaring bloody murder at the screen, his upper lip curling in a sneer. His tone, however, remains icy calm. If a bit short.]

Since the people in this house seem to have a death wish,

[His gaze flicks

[vexed]

[ Although his hair obscures the right side of his face, the wide grin is still visible on the left. ]

One man against the world, eh? You must really like long odds.

1/idk fuck you seriously why do you make me do dis

[The Tradesman was one thing, coming up to him looking just like that person and sealing the deal for his... his soul, Kanda guessed, with a kiss. The contract, the house master, that ownership was one thing.]

[yet_shall_live]

[But this was just... ]

[yet_shall_live]

[Fucking predictable.

Kanda exhaled slowly, glowering at familiar red hair for a moment. And then his eyes simply rolled.]

[trinity_eins]

[ Oh he seems pleasant. ]

That depends on which branch of the armory you're looking for.

[yet_shall_live]

[A sword is all he needed, but after a moment's thought he decides the information can't hurt.]

All of the ones you know of.

[trinity_eins]

[ He nods, taking out a notebook to flip through it. ]

The first is run by the Inoshishi house. That is in the Spindle district, in the southwest. It produces the cloth parts of armor. The second is run by Kawabari, in Aster, in the northeast. They do the plate work. Finally, Komainu in Hibiscus in the northwest produces weapons.

[yet_shall_live]

What do you use?

[The smirk is sharp as a knife.]

I'll pick you up something while I'm there.

[transmutates]

Yeah, good luck with that, buddy.

[yet_shall_live]

Don't need luck.

[transmutates]

You might not have needed it before, but you'll need it now.

[yet_shall_live]

Speak for yourself.

[ When Alto sees this come up while skimming messages, he has to do a double-take.

In Hibu, he's seen a number of men with his style hair, and some with wigs, but so far no one sporting such a look on the network. ]

If you're looking for clothes, don't bother. They burned them.

--if you're looking for weapons... [ He looks away, briefly considering that as an option. ] ...good luck. And don't be greedy if you find anything.

[If Kanda's surprised by Alto's appearance, he doesn't give a sign. The glare eases off, but it's marginal, more to do with the simple fact that he's talking than anything.]

Tell me what you know about where they are and maybe I'll arm you. I'm not running a damn charity.

[And it doesn't much make him any nicer.]

[todistantskies]

Fair enough. [ A bit clipped, since he doesn't exactly like that 'tude.

Alto moves over toward the outside wall, by the window, and lowers his tone. ] I haven't seen any heavily-guarded buildings in my district, but I can tell you where the guards were threatening to lock me up if I made trouble. It was over in Hibiscus. [ Which is still roughly 20% of the town. ]

[yet_shall_live]

[Though he notes the shift in tone, it doesn't change Kanda's. Nor does it give him pause. Kanda's used to being off putting.]

That's the district I'm in.

[A thoughtful pause, the video shifts as Kanda resettles, but it only shows more of the wall behind his head.]

Can you use a sword? Or should I look for something simpler, like a club?

[transcendens]

You are not the only one whose considered that option, though I would caution you against a full scale assault at this time. You would be better served with a more subtle approach.

[yet_shall_live]

[While he recognizes the truth of Aizen's words, they don't cause him to even bat an eyelash.]

Subtle or not, I'm getting a sword.

[transcendens]

What type do you prefer?

[yet_shall_live]

Any single edged daitou.
