[Icy blue eyes focus intently on the screen before them, lips pressed into a hard, thin line. The face may look familiar to some, though a year or two older than remembered-- humans mature so much faster than the Shinigami, after all. The video catches the sound of typing, text accompanying the image; he seems unaware he's being recorded as he

[... Orihime. Ichigo.]

They're not here right now -- they're in your world now.

You're in Adstringendum.

[He seems wary of her-- the first one to respond. Is she the one responsible? It's possible. But jumping to conclusions won't help.]

My world. [The living world, he assumes she means.]

I've never heard of Adstringendum. [Which, to him, seems most likely to be a world like the Spirit Realm, or Hell, or Hueco Mundo... except he doesn't know it. Yet.]

[video]

[marsfireignite]

Adstringendum is a world outside of worlds. It was created by a science experiment gone wrong -- and the Animus, the spirits in charge here, are in control. We were all pulled here from different worlds.

My name's Hino Rei. I know some of the people from your world -- Hitsugaya Toushirou, Hinamori Momo, Ukitake Jyuushirou, Unohana Retsu, Kuchiki Rukia, Urahara Kisuke --

[She seems to want to add one more, but pauses -- because if this young man is a shinigami, then Ulquiorra may not be a kind name to hear.]

They're all here, too.

[shiro_megane]

A world created by science?

[The first he's ever heard of this sort of thing. But it isn't something he'd put past Kurotsuchi-- or Urahara, for that matter.]

And there are, supposedly, multiple realities...

This sounds like something from one of Inoue-san's science fiction novels.

[His expression tightens somewhat at the list of names, if that's possible, his expression growing a little colder. It's good to know Urahara's here. The rest-- well, he prefers to avoid the Shinigami, if he can.]

And they'll corroborate your claims.

Tell me more about the Animus-- I assume if they're in control here, they're what's keeping us from returning to our native realities.

I am afraid none of those people are here right now, but you will have some trouble wreaking havoc on the Animus, as they are dead, and I am fairly certain punching them will not work.

[Video]

[shiro_megane]

So. Spirits of the dead are responsible. [A new breed of Hollow, perhaps? It probably says something about him that he remains utterly calm-- and actually takes what she says at face value.]

... You're right, of course. Fisticuffs against these... Animus will be unlikely to be effective. Thankfully, I have other methods available to me.

[Video]

[showchoirstar]

... what other kind of spirits are there? Aren't spirits -- dead?

[ -- whatever, Rachel moves on.]

I'm Rachel Berry, by the way.

[Video]

[shiro_megane]

That depends on what one's personal belief system espouses, though throughout mythology, a number of spirits exist which are not, in fact, spirits of the dead.

Ishida Uryu.

What more is there to know about the Animus?

[video]

[iceandivory]

Yes, we will corroborate her claims.

[That's all you get. :| Jerk.]

[video]

[shiro_megane]

I give more weight to Urahara-san's word than yours, Shinigami.

[video]

[iceandivory]

Urahara is not present. You will have to make due with the rest of us.

[video]

[shiro_megane]

And now you're contradicting her claims.

[Video]

[shiro_megane]

It would appear no one has-- Or, at least, it would appear that they aren't here at the moment.

[Video]

[shiro_megane]

You sound as if you're a relatively recent arrival, as well.
