"Thank you, Inoue." It had tasted her magic before, but not in such a pure form. She was even more exciting than its masters had allowed her to seem. "Where are we? Did they knock us out again?"

Orihime hadn't really been in the basement to her knowledge, but she couldn't think of any other place that would have a dirt floor like this, and there weren't any windows either. So logic dictated that they were on the lowest level of the mansion.
She got to her feet, ignoring the stains on her skirt as well as the status of her torn shirt. It would be nice to shower and change her clothes admittedly, but she wasn't really sure that was an option. Where did they find new changes of clothing anyway? Or even a safe place to bathe?
Her hand stretched out to Ichigo to help him to his feet. "Let's get out of here. I'm kind of hungry anyway," she said with a wry grin.

The monster beneath the illusion couldn't help the excitement it felt, it could feel the sunlight brightening the house. Could feel the living energy of the inhabitants brightening under the sun.
It wanted to see.

"Ha ha, you read my mind! I was hoping to get cleaned up too. I feel pretty gross," she admitted with a sheepish smile. And if he'd smeared blood on her clothing when he'd fed on her, she never saw a speck of red. Her neck ached a little, but otherwise she was pretty sure she felt fine.
"I think the cord is long enough that we at least have some privacy in using the bathroom, ne?" she pondered aloud, feeling for the end of it until she could give the length a light flip. It wasn't swinging, and seemed to be coiled in the dirt. They probably had to worry more about tripping over it rather than being tied too close together. "Where do we get new clothes, anyway? Does the house just give them to us?"

No one seemed to fess up about owning the damned place so either the owner, who was clearly pissing the hollow off with the strange occurrences at night, was around somewhere and enjoying their little games... or one of the humans was losing it. If it was the latter then at least he'd have some entertainment watching them all fight between themselves.
Maybe if they'd managed to kill each other he'd be the generous type and take their souls since they weren't using them anymore--...Damnit. He didn't like the feeling of actually being hungry; especially in a place he wasn't familiar with. Ichigo's fault, clearly.
With an annoyed snort the hollow sat on the desk and looked at the walls of the strange room. He didn't understand any of it.

She did know that she wanted to try talking to him, to find out more about who he was, and what he had become. Most importantly, she needed to know how he'd turned into a violent specter, and how to change him back. And if things went poorly, she'd put up her shield, grab Ichigo's hand, and run like crazy.
It was always good to have a back-up plan!
But when she caught sight of a flash of white, she tensed. However, this was not the ghost she was looking for, and she visibly relaxed at the sight of him. That was probably a first.
"Hello!" she greeted him. "Everything okay in here?"

Well, the last thing he had wanted to find was the smashed fragments of a shattered mask. It was almost as bad as running into Ichigo himself. His lips pressed into a thin line, eyes narrowing warily at the sight of the Hollow--but for the moment, he stayed quiet, letting Orihime take the lead.
The Hollow, on the other hand, would be able to see only the monster in its full form, ring of needle-like teeth bared in displeasure. All it could hope for was that the other would give them some excuse to leave quickly.

Before he could send back a sharp reply the hollow's attention was drawn from Orihime to the monster that followed her in. It was obviously hostile and while it had a human shape it didn't seem like the type of creature that humans would normally hang out with.
As far as the hollow knew anyway.
"'the fuck are ya starin' at?"
