[ The Hitomi seems to have turned on in the middle of being soundly throttled by Rukia, whose huge violet eyes are glaring daggers at the offending device. She shakes it and brings a fist down on the top of it, looking more and more frustrated with each passing second.]
Renji! Why is it making this awful noise!
[Renji, for his own part, is unruffled by the beeping, and has shuffled through the network to confirm what he already knew when it woke him up this morning. He shrugs noncommittally.]
Eh, s'just the gods fuckin' with us again.
It should shut up if we post...somethin'. I think.
What? What could they possibly hope to achieve by driving us to distraction? Why do they want us to just post something? Aargh!
[ She looks ready to fight with the Hitomi itself, scowling gravely at it as if it was a real enemy simply for transmitting the irritating noise. ]
Probably to greet the newcomers with. Somethin' like this happened before--made the Hitomi go crazy while people kept pourin' in.
Thought it was just a weirdass dream, since there were four of ya, and one younger me but it looks like it's happening again.
[There's a pause as he looks at her glaring at her Hitomi, and snickers faintly at the mental image of her going toe-to-toe against the indestructible piece of crap.]
Oi, Rukia, ya know breakin' it ain't gonna help.
[mumbling] Maybe not, but it'll make me feel better.
[That prompts a little smirk]
Well then, by all means. Go ahead. [He's guilty of taking frustrations out on the Hitomi for stress-relief too, after all.]
[And she stares down the Hitomi for a moment more before she really computes what he'd just said a moment ago.]
What do you mean there were four of me? That doesn't make any sense.
[There's a sharp huff of a laugh, then] Oi, since when does anything make sense here?
[And then he pulls out his own Hitomi (which is still beeping), and flicks through to the post with the multiple Allens.] Same thing as what happened to this guy. One of ya was uh...little, though. And another thought my name was Kiba... [Muttered. He never did figure that one out.]
[ She frowns deeply, first at his Hitomi and then at Renji himself. ]
That's crazy.
[ And she rolls her eyes. ]
But what else is new.
Heh. Ain't that the truth.
[...Aaand that's when he notices something.]
Oi, your Hitomi ain't beepin' anymore. [And neither is his, apparently.]
--Did it just record all that...?
Well, shit.
What!
[She fixes the hitomi with a ferocious glare, makes a frustrated noise and the feed cuts. Mostly likely because the hitomi has just been thrown against the nearest wall and met its momentary demise.]
