[After living in the Kuchiki manor, she had wanted all the more to escape and go off somewhere else- if only for a little while. Somewhere with less rules and adults. It was too hard to get away with things with so many Shinigami around, so she managed to hop a couple walls and sneak over into the Neutral area. (Being small had its advantages, ( Read more... )

[Rukia stumbles from a treeline, finding the sudden change of scenery from the swept streets of Seireitei to the knee-deep snow of the Neutral Zone enough to make her pause. Garbed in her usual shihakusho, the itty-bitty shinigami blinks with wide eyes for a moment before regaining her footing, her head swivels around in confusion ( Read more... )

[Snow and Rukia are a match made in heaven... or just about anywhere. She's building a giant snow Chappy (you think she's kidding? It's twice her size). There's a ladder next to it that she's standing on top of, forming the ever so lovable ears. Rukia is happily humming to herself. If you stick around, it'll be done soon. Mess with it and she might ( Read more... )

[Rukia is sitting at a desk and computer that was brought into existence by the Nexus, leaning over to stare at the screen. She seems engrossed in the webpage on the screen. She had been there for almost two hours now, caught up in this strange human invention.

Come bother her!]

[Everything had changed in an instant. Where before she had sat on the ground, watching the battle happen before her, she was back where she began. Her time remembered there had not faded, and she had been gone for only moments- but she had learned much in that time, and seen what may be the source of Ichigo's aloofness ( Read more... )

[ A blur of white, and lavender streaks through the bare, wintry branches - pushing her limits to shunpo to the next branch, and the next, not really looking where she's going, since she's too intent on cloaking her reiatsu ( Read more... )

[Rukia comes into the Nexus fresh off the streets of Rukongai, clutching a small bag and running. Her eyes widen when the street disappears in favor for a grassy field. After a glance over her shoulder, she slows to a stop.]

Renji? Guys?

[...Here again. If there was one thing she was certain of, it was her death after facing an Ichigo when she arrived. Amnes had seen it coming, had felt the darkness take her, swept her away into a realm of a still void, and had accepted it. Perhaps Fate had decided she wasn't worthy. Perhaps she was still too weak. Or, perhaps- Fate had greater ( Read more... )

[Rukia's walking around the neutral zone. She takes a few more steps before she stops, pushes a strand of hair behind her ear and looks up tot the sky]

It's back and forth between here and the island. I'm not really sure which of the two I prefer. A change of scenery is necessary once in a while, but this is becoming far too often.

[ What's that up in the sky? It's a bird! It's a plane! It's -- super Rukia?

Actually, it's none of the above, although it is a Rukia. But, without wings, she has no way to stop her swift descent through the Nexus skies, careening towards the ground, which she is currently broadcasting with a loud shriek. ] ( Read more... )
