Luppi, reporting for duty, Aizen-sama.

So how many of you are out there, hmm? Because I can't wait to see the rest of my fellow Espada again. Especially you, ~Sexta-san~.

[Luppi winks at the camera.]

[Their numbers just keep growing... and it didn't take Ulquiorra long to establish contact.]

Sexta.

Hi, ~Cuarta-san~.

Are you going to show me my new home? Aizen said you would. [OK, Aizen said that one of the other Espada would, but...details, details.]

[cero_oscuras]

[If he didn't do it, no one else would.]

That is correct. If you are still near the base ball diamond you will need to come west. As you get closer I will provide further directions.

[He pauses as if about to end the conversation, then adds.]

You can be seen by the civilian population now, and you would do your best to steer clear for them at the moment. We have things to discuss.

[Ulquiorra. Always the party pooper, but someone had to make sure they all stayed in line and didn't ruin Aizen's plans.]

Why should I do that? They've been really useful so far. I made one of the humans tell me ~all about~ how to work this phone.

But it sounds like you can't wait to see me, so I'm on my way.

For now it is best not to draw any unwanted attention.

[He adds before easing out of his private quarters. By now he can feel Grimmjow freaking out over Luppi's arrival and chose to ignore it as he passed through the gathering area and out to the front of Nueva Las Noches.]

[He waits outside and flairs his own spiritual energy when he feels Luppi's. He trusts the Sexta can make it on his own without any further directions.]

[itsatrep]

[Luppi follows the pulse of spiritual energy to what is to be his new home, meeting the Cuarta out front.]

Ready to give me the grand tour, ~Ulquiorra~?

action;

[cero_oscuras]

[It shouldn't be any surprise he says nothing as he leads Luppi through the initial barrier of Aizen's strongly pact and layered kidou and reiatsu. It isn't long before the come to the door and he leads the way into the main gathering area. Aizen as usual has made sure they lack for nothing.]

Living quarters are on the second floor. I must warn you that Aizen has allowed a human woman to live among us. Her home is the green house there.

[He motions off to a hallway on the left.]

We are not to interfere with her or her work, unless she desires.

action;

[itsatrep]

[Luppi follows, swinging his arms as he walks. He takes in their new home and is honestly impressed. But he doesn't comment on that.]

Aizen-sama likes his human women, doesn't he? Does this one have any magic powers?

action;

[cero_oscuras]

Her name is Poison Ivy, she is as her name suggests poisonous to touch and capable of exuding pheromones to charm her prey. She can also manipulate plant life to her advantage in a variety of ways.

[Even Ulquiorra was impressed with some of the clever ways she used them, spying for example - humans were very fond of their plants and flowers.]

action;

[itsatrep]

[Well, if nothing else, Poison Ivy wasn't going to be the person to cause a recreation of his final moments in the original Las Noches.]

Who else is here?

[Beyond those who had spoken to him on his phone, he could sense others, but their purposely subdued spiritual pressure made it difficult to pinpoint.]

action;

[cero_oscuras]

Captain Ichimaru, Quinta, Octava. Pesche and Telsa are here as well. As far as enemies go the city is home to a few Shinigami, some of which are not from our world but others.

[He doesn't bother to mention Grimmjow or Aizen, he is sure it's rather obvious that they are both here. The other shinigami aren't given any detail either, as far as he is concerned they are weak if not weaker than the ones they are used to dealing with.]

What's the last thing you remember, Sexta?

action;

[itsatrep]

Other Shinigami?

[This "other world" thing was getting more interesting all the time. He notes the list of other Espada and Arrancar, mentally calculating which ones he should bother first. Then that question brings his scheming to a halt.]

Why do you need to know?

action;

[cero_oscuras]

You'll find that others have experienced things that you have not, while others will not remember things you do. The power that brought you here does operate within the boundaries of time or space as we know them.

You died.

[He assumed from the way his message from earlier that he remembered dying at the hands of Grimmjow.]

Re: action;

[itsatrep]

I guess we don't have any secrets, then, do we, ~Cuarta-san~?

The last thing I remember is dying.

action;

[cero_oscuras]

[Perhaps you didn't Luppi, but a lot had happened since your death that he was going to keep quiet about.]

As much as you might enjoy the thought of revenge, our numbers are limited. It would not be wise to do anything too drastic.

action;

[itsatrep]

I don't know what you're talking about. I'm just happy to have a second chance at life. Besides, I think seeing Grimmjow the way he is right now just might be revenge enough.

[At least until he thought of a better plan than annoying Grimmjow by his very existence.]
