[Action/Voice, backdated to morning]

[mikangirl]

[Sup, Straw Hats (...and possible assorted guests). This morning, your everyday post-earthquake-recovery routine is broken by the sound of glass shattering in the bathroom, followed a pale and jittery-looking navigator wrapped in a towel and clutching a change of clothes throwing the door open and stalking straight for her bedroom, slamming the

[But feel free to run across him doing his level best to help but also be as far away from people as humanly possible. (These humans around apparently find it impossible to stay away while's clearing out rubble.) Hitsugaya is a lurker extraordinaire -- he won't even deny it, if asked -- and so he catches Nami's question. Have a snort, because it annoys him when people don't finish their questions.

That, and he has a pretty good idea what she means.]

Seeing what?

[Voice]

[mikangirl]

[She probably will run across him. Give her a few tags Answering her journal while on the go in town, frowning at the question before realising she's going to get asked that a lot today anyway.]

Reflections. They're ... wrong, today. For me, anyway.

[Voice]

[likeafirework]

[He stops working at that. He wasn't naive enough to think that he was the only one seeing things that just couldn't -- or shouldn't -- be. Damn this place.]

Wrong here too. I doubt it's just you and me. [If it were, that'd be one hell of a weird experiment.]

[Voice]

[mikangirl]

[...geh. Well. At least she's not the only one.]

It's like you, but not?

[Voice]

[likeafirework]

Yeah. Something like that. [Pause. He doesn't even want to try explaining all that comes with Hollows and shinigami and what happens when the two are forced to co-exist -- in the same person, no less.]

Something that could be me, given a different set of circumstances and opportunities, I guess.

[He's not entirely sure if it's better than seeing himself dead. That had been a bit of a shock, when he'd been gingerly picking up pieces of broken glass in the apartment earlier.]

[Voice-->Action]

[mikangirl]

Something like--

[Oh hey, she spies a Hitsugaya across the street. Closing her journal and crossing over there now.]

Something like that.

[Action]

[likeafirework]

[Hitsugaya blinks at the journal for a moment before he realizes that's her coming up on him. Cut off mid-sentence? That can't be... oh. That's a Nami making her way over here. He nods toward in a sort of hello and turns his attention to her. Quite a feat, Nami. That debris he's sorting through is awfully interesting. Really. He can't tell you how much fun this is.]

Have you seen just one thing?

[Action]

[mikangirl]

For now. [She is actively attempting not to see anything else today, thank you. And nodding at that incredibly interesting debris.] Need a hand?

[Action]

[likeafirework]

Lucky you.

[He shrugs. It's very interesting debris, really.] Feel free. I'm just clearing this out. Was out checking the barrier, but I'm better use here.

[Maybe. He's not entirely sure.]

[Action]

[mikangirl]

[She'll pause halfway to reaching for the rubble, giving him a curious look.] Is the barrier still intact?

[Action]

[likeafirework]

As far as I can tell. [He does reach down to grab a long piece of wood, grunting a bit when it decides to get stuck on something. Damned thing. He'll still be looking at it when he speaks next -- maybe if he twists it and pulls right instead of straight out...]

I've no cap on my power right now and I couldn't get through. So whatever it's doing, it's holding for now.

[Action]

[mikangirl]

Heh. Sadly, that's probably a good thing. [She herself, being a weakling, will go for smaller things that she can neatly pull aside.] Though I'd really like to know what the heck is going on.

[Action]

[likeafirework]

[He snorts.] Me too.

[He pulls the piece of wood out with a grunt and looks it over. It seems all right, just broken on one end. It can be used again and so it gets tossed into his Pile of Reusable Crap. Like anyone actually cares, he's sure, but at least he's doing something.]

Everyone you know make it through all right?

[Action]

[mikangirl]

More or less. One of my crew is laid up in bed with a head injury, but he just needs time. [Nami...honestly doesn't know what she's doing when it comes to cleaning up debris, but she'll at least make an effort.]

How about you?

[Action]

[likeafirework]

[He barely knows what he's doing, but doing something is better than nothing.]

Our building was untouched. It's being used for extra shelter. [Which, while he knows and accepts the need, the extra people on the southern end of town is really starting to drive him insane.] Lot of people around.

[Action]

[mikangirl]

They won't be there forever. [And she's taking that 'our building was untouched' to mean 'actually, I don't know many people around here', to be honest.] If Luceti doesn't start fixing itself soon, there's bound to be enough people in town who can actually build and repair these things.
