Sixty Six Pieces of Candy

... You know, it's just not the same as Hollows. I NEVER thought I would find myself missing that sort of work.

Oh well, at least it was something to do...

Hollows?

[Voice] inukitake November 4 2009, 04:39:44 UTC

Dreadful things, really.

[Voice] sir_rusty November 4 2009, 04:43:57 UTC

They sound dreadful.

[Voice] inukitake November 4 2009, 06:22:13 UTC

The explanation is a might complicated, though.

[Voice] sir_rusty November 4 2009, 07:54:06 UTC

Well, since I don't have much to do other than clean my new tent, I think I can spare an ear.

I'm rather new to this world and I'd like to learn more about its inhabitants.

[Voice] inukitake November 4 2009, 21:24:45 UTC

Well, first of all, I should explain just what I am.

I am a Shinigami, or Soul Reaper.

[Voice] sir_rusty November 4 2009, 23:59:01 UTC

A soul... reaper?

What a ghastly title, like an executioner.

[Voice] inukitake November 5 2009, 00:31:17 UTC

Oh, well, it's not REALLY like that. Erm, how should I put this...

When a person dies, their soul may or may not move on to the afterlife. When this happens, that's when the Shinigami come in. Our primary purpose is to escort whole souls to the Soul Society.

[Voice] sir_rusty November 5 2009, 00:59:51 UTC

Ohhhhh. I think I understand.

I didn't know souls had trouble crossing over, but I guess they do.

[Voice] inukitake November 5 2009, 03:15:38 UTC

It depends on the soul, really...

Well, anyways, if a soul cannot pass on willingly, they eventually morph into a Hollow soul. These are monstrous phantasms that signify the pain and suffering of death rather than the acceptance of it. Our secondary purpose is to exorcise these creatures.

[Voice] sir_rusty November 5 2009, 04:08:06 UTC

Oh...

*The hollows' description sounds vaguely like the black mages, or more specifically, the Black Waltzes.*

And you put them to rest, then.

[Voice] inukitake November 5 2009, 05:36:28 UTC

Yes. It should be noted that they can only be exorcised through the use of Zanpaktou or Kido. Any other method simply destroys the soul, rather than allowing it to pass on.

[Voice] sir_rusty November 5 2009, 05:59:18 UTC

And there's no way to bring the destroyed soul back?

That's...

[Voice] inukitake November 5 2009, 07:21:43 UTC

That is the way things are. It is why we Shinigami exist.

[Voice] sir_rusty November 6 2009, 01:30:02 UTC

I could not imagine such a grim life. And I thought my life as a guard and a knight was trying...

[Voice] inukitake November 6 2009, 06:15:36 UTC

Well... it's not so bad.
