I think the Door is suffering from a unfortunate lack of good sense.

[Oh, what a weary sigh.]

Please be careful. There are more dangerous people among us than I'd like to think about.

Speaking of which, I may need to relocate.

Relocate? Why?

[Concerned Kaien is concerned!]

[ Synthetic Voice ] internecineowl February 20 2010, 05:06:18 UTC

I have a few enemies here. They can be a bit strange, and... unpredictable.

It will be fine, in any case. Please don't worry.

[ Voice ] heartbetween February 20 2010, 05:20:30 UTC

[???? The video isn't on, but Nagi can probably imagine a very confused expression.]

Who--why would anyone be enemies with you?

[ Synthetic Voice ] internecineowl February 20 2010, 05:31:12 UTC

Well, it's a long story.

Long and probably a little boring to anyone who wasn't involved.

[ Voice ] heartbetween February 20 2010, 06:26:32 UTC

[That answer gives him a distinct "I don't want to talk about it" vibe. He knows it well enough, from this long dealing with Byakuya.]

Ah, it's just...I don't know--there's not anything...hate-able about you?

[Said with perhaps the naivete of someone who does not know how to hate, has never had reason to in his life.]

[ Synthetic Voice ] internecineowl February 20 2010, 06:28:55 UTC

[Ah, that's not it, really. He actually does think it would bore Kaien, because Nagi is a twit sometimes, alas.]

Hmm.

Well, Rokuro seems to be angry that he was stopped from killing all of my friends. I can't say it's anything I understand either.

[ Voice ] heartbetween February 20 2010, 07:57:17 UTC

[But talking to his friends is never boring for Kaien!

But. aksdljfl just. Give him a moment with that.]

I can't...I can't imagine...that's terrible.

[Doesn't help that he wants to give Rokuro the benefit of the doubt, but that just...for someone who puts so much emphasis on friendship, that is so terrible he doesn't have words for it.]

Was there... a reason he wanted to--to kill your friends?

[ Synthetic Voice | Private ] internecineowl February 20 2010, 08:24:28 UTC

[A long pause, and then Nagi turns on the Private function. Sob.]

I think it's less a question of his wanting to than his having planned to. He was told to do it, and came up with what he thought was an excellent plan and it was thwarted. Then he was told to do it again in order to... ah, achieve a goal, and he came up with another plot and that was thwarted as well.

He thinks of himself as superior to everyone involved in that thwarting, which I guess just made it worse. At least that's what I've gathered. Honestly, I'm relying on second-hand information here, as most of that is after my time.

Still, he admits to it openly enough. It was a request from his "client."

[ Voice | Private ] heartbetween February 20 2010, 08:41:41 UTC

Told by who?

[He wants to believe that it was someone this Rokuro was close to, maybe someone he trusted absolutely...? But so far, what Nagi is saying is pretty damning. Looking to kill someone, just because you were told to, without questioning it? That is just not okay to Kaien.]

...I'll watch out for him, then. Thanks.

[The next bit gives him pause, and he sighs, a little.]

I wish I could get information on what's happened since...yeah. Byakuya refuses to talk about it.

[ Synthetic Voice | Private ] internecineowl February 20 2010, 08:51:28 UTC

Like I said, his "client." His... superior? I'm not sure what that means to him - whether there are sentimental ties involved or monetary bonds... that's beyond my ability to speculate.

But the client's name was Genkaku. If you look back a bit, you can find him easily enough - a redheaded monk with a guitar.

[Nagi goes quiet and then makes a hmming noise.]

That may not be a bad thing, really. The future is a terrible burden to bear.

[ Voice | Private ] heartbetween February 20 2010, 22:57:59 UTC

...I can't say I completely understand, really. But really, I hope he can at least let go of whatever grudge he's got here. What with that murderer about...the best we can do is stick together.

[And Kaien's voice drops too. This has been bothering him for a while now, but so far an opportunity hasn't presented itself to revisit the issue with Byakuya.]

It's...important to me, though. Aside from the personal...he mentioned one thing in passing to make a point, and it...well, something very serious would have to be going on for people of his rank to be headed there.

[ Synthetic Voice | Private ] internecineowl February 20 2010, 23:48:19 UTC

Ha ha, yes, one can hope. I spend a great deal of time hoping for things like that. I suppose we'll see in the end.

As for your future concerns... I think I understand, yes. Not exactly, of course - I don't know your world well enough. But in theory.

[ Voice | Private ] heartbetween February 21 2010, 00:58:31 UTC

It's a good attitude, definitely. And yeah, guess we will.

[a pause, as he decides if he should try to explain it. And how to.]

Ah...well, you remember those new monsters that came into the city not too long ago, the ones I called hollows? Well, back in our world, there is a separate dimension for them, called Hueco Mundo. It's completely sealed off from the one we live in, and we can't get to it by conventional methods like we do the human world.

Normally we'd have no reason to go there--generally they come into our dimension or the human world. And what's more, there's no way to contact our world from there.

Byakuya is one of the thirteen highest ranked in our organization, you see. For someone like him to have to go there...I need to know what's going on. He says it's not relevant anymore, but. There are people relevant to me I want to know about.

[A sigh] I'm sorry to have unloaded all of that on you. It's not your problem, I know. It's just...frustrating.
