[Hello network. It's your favorite cuddly Hollow jerk! He's in the men's wear store that the Bleachies have commandeered for their own, and he's looking pretty relaxed. But if you know him? You can tell he's... not really all that relaxed. There's a certain bit of tension hidden under that smile that only a few will pick up onSo. That damn tree

[Rinzler really didn't want to have to do this. But he's not asking Ichigo. Not now.]

Clarify: presence.

[...] 'Him'.

[holeheart]

[Rinzler? Why is he.... Shiro growls, but answers in text. Mostly because his aforementioned talk with Ichigo was... unsettling]

a shinigami from our world. the most powerful, and the most evil. hes more dangerous than any..... thing. there's nothing more dangerous than he is. if he decides to make a move here we're all screwed. you, me, ichigo... everyone. done.

[notglitching]

[...unsettling talks all around. It's been a long millicycle.]

Designation? Abilities?

[holeheart]

[the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Shiro's ire for Rinzler is dwarfed by his hate and fear of Aizen. So for now, the information flows freely]

aizen sousuke, former captain of the 5th division. his zanpakutou has the ability to inflict "complete hypnosis" on sentient beings, allowing him to control all five of their senses. forever. he makes you see, feel, hear, taste, smell what HE wants you to. also proficient in binding and attack magic.

[notglitching]

[Rinzler stares at the assessment, a jarring twist sliding through his processing. Sensory manipulation. And more magic, but...]

Clarify trigger for 'complete hypnosis'.

Vulnerabilities?

[holeheart]

looking at his blade, i think. so dont do that.

.... none.

[notglitching]

[Another reason to wish for his mask.]

Acknowledged.

[...] Standard user targeting locations? Capable of derezz?

[holeheart]

i dont know what your asking, buzzy. do you mean he's capable of derezzing you? oh yeah. easily. and thats not anything against you, hes just that strong

[notglitching]

[text;encrypted] --> [video + text; encrypted]

[Video flicks on. Probably just for the glare. Rinzler's noise is doing a poor job refuting the nickname, though, skipping out just faintly unsteady.]

Capable of being derezzed?
Standard attacks to head, core, organs: effective?

[holeheart]

[Still text over here. But he's snickering at that glare, Rinzler]

OHHHHH. well. yes. assumably. but most cant get close enough to try. but like anything, you cut his head off and hes done.

...... i hope.

[notglitching]

[The video doesn't cut, and the glare doesn't go away. But there's an edge bleeding through to the expression. Frustration. Anger. Uncertainty.

There were disadvantages, too, with learning to rely on his mask.]

Going to fight? [His head tips forward. You're going to fight? Either definition of 'you'.]

[holeheart]

[Such a simple question. You'd think it would have a simple answer.

Of course I'm going to fight. I have to.

But for once in his life?

The Hollow didn't want to fight. He knew fighting meant giving up everything he loved. He knew that it was hopeless unless a sacrifice was made... so, a somewhat noncommittal answer]

if he starts shit, we'll finish it.

[notglitching]

[Not much makes it through the text format. But the response time is noted. Also, the 'we'.]

Probability: combat?

[holeheart]

[they're partners. There is only "we"]

i cant say for sure

[notglitching]

[He knows. Or he's beginning to.]

Acknowledged.

[holeheart]

[one day you might understand, Rinzler. And then maybe you'll understand why Ichigo cares for you so much.]

keep it under your hat. we dont need a panic
