Ulquiorra, I have an exercise for you.

Grimmjow, your presence is requested in Nueva Las Noches. Find me.

Szayel. [ A small smile that can likely be picked up on over the Audio function. ] Szayel, bring all of your research since the revelation of the Core to my quarters directly. You will have been studying it, I believe.

Luppi, come. You have a

[While Alice usually used video to address people, today she's stuck to voice, mainly since she can't be that bothered to look good after so many hours at the hospital. Also, it's set on private as she's shy about making idle chat with Aizen.]

That's really sweet of you, Aizen. A friend of yours?

[Voice | Private]

[alapimp]

An acquaintance of a mutual friend.

We haven't spoken in a while, Alice. How are you?

[Voice | Private]

[nurserabbit]

Yeah, it's been a long while, hasn't it? I know it's a pretty lousy excuse, but I've been so busy-- what with the recent earthquake and the riots and all... [A brief pause, and what sounds like a little stifled yawn]

How have things been on your end?

[She knows some things from his posts, but she would rather hear them from him herself.]

[ Spoke to Aslan, hates Death, planning the upheaval of the Core and the destruction of this dimension in a bid to get him out of this Hellhole and trap all of you inside forever. Not much. ]

I've been taking care of a few things away from the university. My classes have been substituted for the moment, but I should return soon.

I expect you were very busy in the aftermath of the earthquake.

...

...Thank you, professor.

[audio] WHY AREN'T YOU MORE GRATEFUL. B(

[alapimp]

Did you enjoy yourself?

[audio] BECAUSE YOU SKIMPED ON A BIRTHDAY GIFT, YA CHEAPSKATE. B|

[sequincy]

It was a pleasant celebration. [minus the appearance of certain guests]

[audio] HOW DO YOU KNOW? B)

[alapimp]

I regret my absence. I wanted to give you your card face-to-face, but was prevented.

It should arrive in the mail in the next few days.

[ It's a lovely card with Birthday Wishes! on the front. Inside, however, is an additional "Ten thousand of them". See? He's so thoughtful. ]

[itsatrep]

Yes, Aizen-sama.

[alapimp]

The reiatsu of a certain shinigami has appeared recently in the city. Matsumoto Rangiku.

Does this name mean anything to you, Luppi?

voice; private

[itsatrep]

~It does~, Aizen-sama.

voice; private

[alapimp]

[ Just as keikaku. ]

Please turn your attention to her in any way possible and allude that I have, indeed, noticed her arrival.

[ There's no need to let Rangiku know he knows she's here - she ought to have assumed as much. In turn, Aizen will take it for granted she'll realise this and be suspicious that he's chosen to send her his greetings at all. ]

Mind that you don't harass the shinigami vice-captain, but do give her a warm welcome on my behalf.

voice; private for once

[persimmonsplz]

What?

voice; private

[alapimp]

Stay close to Re-l. If you see any change in her supernatural abilities, you're to come to me immediately.

voice; private

[persimmonsplz]

... What supernatural abilities? [because, uh, have you seen Re-l, dude. she's totally as human as they come, right?]

voice; private

[alapimp]

How interesting. Haven't your memories from Halloween returned yet, Gin?

From the moment your reiatsu disappeared, Re-l's potential flared rather significantly. She's no threat to us, but I would like her growth in physical prowess evaluated.

[ His coloring is a little better. Adapting like a pro. ]

That's nice of you. Did you get them a present?

[video]

[alapimp]

You look very well, Jomy. Have you been resting? I was concerned the fireworks tired you out.

I sent them a card.

[video]

[soldiershin]

[ If he was the type to raise an eyebrow... ] The fireworks were fine, don't worry. Thank you for showing them to me.

[ It's just the rioting and chaos that's tiring to listen to. ]

Hm. I hope they like it.

[video]

[alapimp]

[ Oh, yeah. Riots and shit. They haven't exactly been bothering Sousuke, he's been sitting back and observing. ]

You haven't been crowding the so-called source of the Core, have you?
