[ Having cleaned up a bit thanks to some help from other citizens, here's Ichigo. Back in shikai ( there's Zangetsu over his shoulder ) and kind of smiling at the camera. ]

Oi, Rukia. It's...kind of complicated, but I'll explain in a minute.

[ Happy to see her, and yet not at the same time. Sigh. ]

Stop moving, so I can come find you.

[That stern expression is rapidly replaced by one of confusion. He doesn't look nearly as beat up as when she last saw you, Berry, and she's kind of dirty and there's sand everywhere and she went from the bleak sunlight of Hueco Mundo to this dark and storm-riddled...place. She's got a good poker face, but she's still a bit freaked out.]

Ichigo! [Pause. A beat lost to surprise as she double takes to assure that it IS you. For all she knows, this is an elaborate illusion by Aizen.] What are you doing here?

[She's shaking the comm here as if it would make you produce an answer faster, but she's stopped moving.]

[ He still has the haunted eyes, and the downgraded smirk, but otherwise he got decently cleaned up. And yes, sand was all over the floors at first. ]

Seriously, it's a crazy long story. Suffice to say, that orb-thing you touched brought you here. Happened to me, too.

[ Occasional bursts of static, and blurriness as he shunpos down, and around hallways. ]

[Those eyes - she still sees them even through the screen. The worry and concern rises up and settles deep in her gut again. Finding an available stretch of wall, she leans against it when she notices the environment around him flicker, stretch and pause with shunpo. Might as well stay put if he was on his way. But...wait.

What is this place? I can barely sense you...

voice.

[reapobscenity]

Ceiru.

[ A quiet sigh. ]

That's what they call this place. You might as well call it your new home.

[Voice]

[mae_shirayuki]

[Give her a moment, it takes a second to place the voice.]

Hisagi-fukutaichou? You're here too?

voice.

[reapobscenity]

Kuchiki-san. [ He'd nod, if she could see it. ] I have been for a while.

Madarame and Ayesagawa are here as well.

[Voice]

[mae_shirayuki]

I knew of Madarame-san from Ichigo, but not of Ayesagawa-san.

What is this place, fukutaichou? My reiatsu sense feels...dulled, I can barely feel Ichigo unless he's very close.

[And with the way he throws around his reiatsu, that's saying something.]

Yes. Are you a shinigami?

If you are a part of Aizen's forces, identify yourself.

I'm sorry, I don't think we have any way to go back home yet, at least for the time being.

Will you be all right?

video.

[mae_shirayuki]

So I've discovered. It's very important that Ichigo and I return to our world as soon as we can.

Yes, my injuries are minor, I can probably heal myself. But thank you for your concern.

[Someone isn't accounting for the limiter right now...]

video.

[bytheireyes]

Hopefully we'll all be able to...

Really? I'm glad to hear it. If you need anything, I'm sure there are enough medical supplies.

[Video]

[mae_shirayuki]

[Truth be told, her arm is pretty banged up. Being crushed and all...]

Where are the medical supplies located, in case they're needed.

You don't look like you're in any condition to be on a "mission" right now.

[stern, but it really is concern. shouta's seen all types get spit out into ceriu looking worse for wear.]

[mae_shirayuki]

I am alright. I've dealt with worse.

text.

[heroicity]

That kind of thinking isn't safe here.

[mae_shirayuki]

I can handle myself.
