[The feed is an EXTREME CLOSE-UP on Renji's eye as he peers into the lens, then pulls the device back and tilts it on its side. It's pretty obvious he doesn't really know what he's doing with this technology nonsense. He definitely looks a bit worse for wear--he's bleeding visibly and appears to have scorch marks all over his face and upper torso

W - who are you trying to sense, mister?

[video forever]

[i_love_taiyaki]

[What's this, a little girl? If Grantz is screwing with kids now, Renji will not be pleased. Well... more not pleased.]

Just some jackass who's been givin' me a hard time. Uh... [Well, she doesn't look injured, at least.] If you see a guy with pink hair and glasses, just turn and run the other way, okay?

[video forever]

[brothercumface]

[little? can't you see the seventeen year old style boobs?]

[she seems to think, blinking and cocking her head to the side thoughtfully.]

Pink hair? I never thought someone who liked the color pink could be mean or give someone a hard time.

[i_love_taiyaki]

[Well she's got a young face! Besides, when you're like over a hundred, most people look like kids. XD]

Maybe he didn't get to choose his hair color, or maybe he just likes being contrary. Or both. Either way, he's bad news. I'm told he ain't here, but it still bears warning.

I'm Renji, by the way.

[brothercumface]

[god old man you need help going to the bathroom yet?]

I'll be careful, Mister Renji. And if I see a pink haired boy I'll let you know, okay? [she's all cautious smiles and bows to the forge for a moment before embarassment seems to cross her features.]

O - oh my manners. I - I'm Minatsuki Takami. But you can call me Mina if you want to.

[i_love_taiyaki]

[Hey! Ukitake's like in his thousands, Renji's still a young buck! XD]

Sounds like a plan, Mina. And you don't have to call me Mister; just Renji's fine. I ain't fancy or nothin'.

[brothercumface]

[oooooold.]

I - I thought it would be better to formal. We've only just met.

[i_love_taiyaki]

[*shakes cane*]

W-well, I guess if you really wanna call me Mister I ain't gonna stop you, but don't feel like you have to. I don't really do formal too much.

[brothercumface]

I - I can call you Renji if you'd like! It just might take me a little while to shake the mister.

[i_love_taiyaki]

Hey, don't sweat it, kiddo, it ain't a big deal. Besides, from what I hear, we're stuck here a while anyhow, so take your time.

How long you been here?

[brothercumface]

A month or so...

And you're new, right?

[i_love_taiyaki]

Yup, got knocked out in a fight and then woke up here just now. How's that for a rude awakening?

[brothercumface]

That's - that's pretty horrible.

[she casts around, appearing to be looking for some sort of silver lining. and upon finding none other than that his pink haired boyfriend wasn't here she tried: ]

Is there anything I can do to make it better?

[i_love_taiyaki]

Ah, it ain't so bad. Not the first time I've been in a nasty fight; s'kinda par for the course with my job and all.

[And then he kind of laughs--not derisively, he's just kind of surprised by how nice everybody here seems to be.]

Heh, it's all good. Some real good friends of mine are here, so even if this place doesn't make a lot of sense and kind'a yanked me out of the middle of what I was doing, it's not so bad so long as I got good company.

[brothercumface]

O - oh, that's good. I'm happy you have friends here, Mister Renji. I imagine it would be rather hard fitting in here without them.

[well fuck it's hard in general. she didn't even gave "friends" here, just those she knew, and already they'd done more for her than she really expected. or deserved. shame they are disabled and a pervert.]

I was going to take you to a muffin shop, it really cheered me up when I was a new scorched. You should go there either way, thought.

[i_love_taiyaki]

A muffin shop? Like pastries? [Hm. You have piqued his interest; Renji does love sweets.]

I think my friend Rukia's coming by to retrieve me and kinda fill me in on stuff I've missed, but if you wanna show me where the muffin shop is later today, or maybe tomorrow, that'd be cool.

--Er, I got a little money from home on me, but there's apparently a guy I need to see about converting it to... ivory?
