Day 1
[OPTION A]
[So, yeah. Kenpachi? Not expecting to wake up in a home that wasn't his, in bed with someone he doesn't know, and without his stuff. The phone ends up getting knocked over when he starts looking for his Zanpakuto. And then his DroneWife walks in.]
Why is this room such a mess, dear?
Where the hell am I, and who are you?
You know that we ( Read more... )

Howdy, stranger.
[Gat might have thought nothing of this back on the GUARDIANS Colony-given many of his eccentric coworkers back in the Gurhal system-but here, it's different.]
You in need of help any?

Actually, yeah. Do you know where I am now? And how to get back to Hueco Mundo or the Soul Society? I was kind of in the middle of some important business.

Ah, you-ain't gonna like this.
This here place is called Mayfield, an' you've been kidnapped by th' folks runnin' this town. Most people here are prisoners, too. Like me.
Folks say it's set in some place called America an' that th' local year is 1950. But I ain't familiar with th' name or th' calendar they're usin' here.
Since it's a prison, there ain't an obvious way outta here. There's a lot about th' town I'm still tryin' to figure out, myself, but I'm thinkin' it's some kinda VR space.

America...So, i'm in the world of the living, then? Should be easy enough to get back.
...wait. No way out?
Whats a VR space?
Reply
You were already dead before Mayfield took ya?
[That's a new one on him.]
VR Space is-you familiar with computers any? VR's "virtual reality." A program runnin' on a computer designed to simulate some place, an' appear real.

[Kenpachi just stared at the guy at the "your dead?" Comment. He probably should have realized that wouldn't make sense to a human...]
No. Actually, I was born in the Soul Society. People in the Soul Society are alive. Technically.
People who die in the world of the living do go to the Soul Society, though. It's too confusing to explain. I'd suggest asking someone else about it.
[And now you've lost him.]
....No. Is a computer used by humans?
(OOC: whether Kenpachi sdied in the living world or not was never actually explained, and people are apparently able to be born in the Soul Society, so yeah. Confusing.)]

So you're sayin' you were never human to begin with. A bein' from th' afterlife, I take it? Well, I reckon this town'll kidnap just about anyone.
So long as you're here, though, you're human; everyone who gets brought in this town gets turned into one. [Gesturing to himself.] I ain't normally human, either.
As for computers, a lot of societies use 'em. They're devices designed to carry out mathematical and logical operations. Th' more advanced they are, the more complex things they can do. Kinda like th' difference in ability between a bug an' a human.

So, this town makes people human...
[Kenpachi just stares....and doesn't get it]
So, anyway. Who's in charge who's in charge of this place? I wanna kick there asses. Also, do they steal your stuff? Cause otherwise i've somehow lost it.
Reply
I ain't quite sure who's in charge. I'd reckon it'd be th' Mayor, but there's other folks who seem to be "in" on runnin' th' place. An' as far as I've seen, every last one of 'em's sick in th' head.
For example, there's th' Milkman. He's a sorry son of a gun that delivers poisoned and booby-trapped milk to everyone's doorsteps. Few weeks ago he got himself made "chief of police" an' forced people to drink a bottle of his crap each day. Or else he'd brainwash 'em into becomin' mindless murderers.
Reply
[He had no idea what a Milkman was, probably someone who leaves milk in your house or something, but he was sure a mayor was some kind of leader. Still, probably better to hold off on fighting them. For now, anyway.]
That milk thing sounds bad.
So, anything to do around here?
Wait. Since people are trapped here.....
Would you happen to know if anyone named Ichigo Kurosaki is here?
Reply
If you see any folks around here that act like you've been a part of th' town your whole life? It's a good bet they're "drones." That is, folks who've been brainwashed-sometimes permanently-into thinkin' they're jus' an average citizen of th' town.
Somehow they seem to know what everyone "should" be doin'-that was how me an' a friend who got assigned as my "wife" figured out our roles, askin' 'em what it is we do for a livin', an' such.
[He pauses, considering Kenpachi's other question.]
Ichigo Kurosaki ... Can't say I've heard of anyone goin' by that name.
Reply
....Drones. I'll just assume that woman was one. I'll ask her about this job.
[No Ichigo, huh. And he was hoping he could fight him....]
Well, thanks anyway....

Weren't no thing.
[... Though getting asked how good of a fighter he is visibly catches him off guard. Mostly because of that grin Kenpachi's giving him.]
Well, depends on th' kind of fightin' you're talkin' about. I'm a Ranger by nature, so I pefer gunfightin' th' most.
Reply
So, you wanna fight? Right now?
Reply
I don't got any on me. Reckon I won't be seein' my usual weapons of choice for a while yet.
[He's trying his best to keep a neutral poker face, but, it's clear he's a bit alarmed at being asked to brawl. It's a lot harder to do when you're not used to having an expressive face to begin with!]
