Twelfth Snowfall: the places where grief has strung me out to dry

[backdated to Monday]

[Something has finally broken Rukia out of her personal bubble of sorrow (with a little hint of self-loathing. Standing in one of the messier of the treepods, she turns on the video. She looks just a little bit worried, since she's tried sending Renji several messages and when she received no response (not a 'user ( Read more... )

M-Maybe I can help you track him? That's ... my speciality.

Is it? That would be very helpful. He... tends to get into trouble a fair bit.

I would need to know his chakra signature.

((OOC : is there something planned already that would prevent Hinata from finding Renji?))

[She hesitates, because WTF is a chakra signature she doesn't know how to chakra]

What would be the best way for you to get that?

[ooc: well, yes and no--he's findable, with difficulty, he's just stuck inside the witch's thing?]

Well ... is there something he uses often?

((OOC : In that case, Hinata would probably be able to pinpoint a general direction, but not Renji himself, since he'd be in a pocket dimension she can't 'see' even with her Byakugan ... but she's talkedto Kyoko, so she knows she's not supposed to go there.))

Well. This?

[She gestures to the zanpakutou lying there.]

I mean, it's a part of him, so...

[Yeah that's pretty much the sense Rukia's getting. He's in the city, maybe if she focuses she can figure out a general area but beyond that, nope.]

O-Okay. Where can I find you?

Coordinates [x,y]. I will be there.

[It's a little bit outside Renji's treepod, for his privacy's sake... though this means she has to gather herself and actually pick up his zanpakutou, which is kind of not a thing you'd normally do, but... BFF is missing, that trumps taboos.]

[It takes Hinata about half an hour to get there. Her eyes are completely white, with no discernible pupils, but she doesn't hold herself or walk the way a blind person would. Quite the contrary, in fact. Rukia will probably recognize her stance as that of someone who is battle-ready.]

H-Hi ... I'm Hyuuga Hinata.

[She does recognize it, and Hinata will find her at the base of a tree at the coordinates, a sword at her side and one in her hands--though she looks slightly awkward holding that one. For one thing, it's far too long for her.

But as soon as Hinata comes into view, Rukia bows politely, managing to hold on to the sword.]

Kuchiki Rukia. Thank you for coming.

[Hinata nods, then holds up her hands and forms some hand seals.]

Byakugan!

[The chakra gathers around her eyes, making the veins stand out ... and her eyes widen a fraction.]

... I-Is that ... really a sword?

It's a zanpakutou, part of the wielder's soul.

...If this is not suitable, I can find something else?

N-No, it's fine. It's ... more than fine.

[That gives her and excellent reading on his chakra.

She closes her eyes for a second and focuses, then opens them again. A shinigami like Rukia will probably feel something. Not reiatsu, but some ... power, expanding.]

... Oh n-no. I think ... That's the area Kyoko-san said not to go to.

If you're certain.

[It does feel strange, and there definitely is something there, but she doesn't comment, neither wanting to break the other girl's concentration nor be rudely curious. But that news is...]

What? He wouldn't--no it's exactly what he would do, but to leave his weapon... Is he alright, can you tell?

Re: [Offline] hyuugahime November 11 2011, 16:51:47 UTC
I-I'm not even sure ... where he is exactly. There's ... something. It's all distorted.

[She performs some more hand seals, but then cries out softly and holds her ehad as if something had hit her.]

I can't ... I can't see through it. It's knocking me back.

[If Rukia were still the sort to swear, she so would be right now.]

Are you alright? Please don't hurt yourself.
