Declaration 002 [Video]

Jan 08, 2011 23:16

[After having the chance to practice with her NV, Nelliel is able to get the video function to work right away this time. The mask on her head is still visible, but the calm smile on her face contrasts with that aspect of her appearance.Hello. I am curious about individual cultures and societies people have come from. Is Siren's Port similar to ( Read more... )

It's similar enough. People are people no matter where you put them -- I just suppose here it's even easier for them to want to and try to kill each other.

[Wait, distracted!]

So, what do you consider yourself, if not human?

[video] gamuzadeclares January 11 2011, 23:18:14 UTC

Arrancar.

[She lightly taps the mask on the top of her head]

This isn't a headdress. This is a part of my body.

[video] dancing_pierrot January 12 2011, 00:05:49 UTC

Part of -- part of your body? How does that work?

[video] gamuzadeclares January 12 2011, 07:15:06 UTC

It's a bit difficult to explain and will probably sound strange, but I'll try. Hollows undergo quite a few physical changes as they grow and evolve. I suppose the best comparison would be the stages of a butterfly's life - from egg to caterpillar to chrysallis to butterfly. Arrancar are the last stage of that transformation, looking the most human in appearance. Hollows, by contrast, look much less human. They start out looking monstrous, then gradually change to look more like animals, and then look human-like as they gain the ability to take off part of their mask to reach the final stage of evolution.

So...this is a remnant of what I was before I evolved.

[There's a sudden jolt as she realizes what this woman's been reminding Franziska of this entire time; Grimmjow, her brother's murderer ... yet, she listens intently, trying to understand as much as she can.]

And ... was this common where you come from?

[video] gamuzadeclares January 13 2011, 04:22:24 UTC

Correct. Every single arrancar was a hollow before and gradually gained individual personalities and the capacity for reason as he or she evolved.

[Shiro is a special case - still a hollow, but as powerful as an arrancar. Nelliel will skip over explaining his situation since she only partially understands it herself.]

[video] dancing_pierrot January 13 2011, 06:05:51 UTC

... So, what is a 'hollow' precisely?

[video] gamuzadeclares January 13 2011, 18:55:38 UTC

An amalgamation of souls given form.

[And because analogies seem to be working, she makes a comparison to try to help Franziska visualize the concept.]

It's...comparable to a snowball, I suppose. Only it's a single sentient being that evolves.

[video] dancing_pierrot January 14 2011, 00:47:12 UTC

[And she think she almost understands it! But: question time!]

So souls are proven to exist in your world.

[video] gamuzadeclares January 14 2011, 05:31:05 UTC

That's correct. They also exist in the human world that can be reached from my world through a technique called garganta.

[video] dancing_pierrot January 14 2011, 12:44:29 UTC

Garganta? So there's two different planes of existence; is that how it works?

[video] gamuzadeclares January 15 2011, 05:53:20 UTC

Garganta makes a temporary tear between the planes of existence to allow passage from one to the other.

There's actually four in total. The human world, Soul Society, Hueco Mundo - the hollow world, and hell. Shinigami collect souls and send them to Soul Society after an individual has died. If they do not reach a soul in a timely fashion, the soul becomes a hollow and starts the snowball like process of merging with other souls.

[video] dancing_pierrot January 16 2011, 02:10:58 UTC

So, you're fundamentally an amalgamation of dead people?

[video] gamuzadeclares January 16 2011, 07:33:47 UTC

Fundamentally, yes. Dead people's souls to be exact. Arrancar don't smell like rotting corpses. Thankfully. It would have made getting a job difficult otherwise.

[video] dancing_pierrot January 16 2011, 10:59:05 UTC

Souls weren't proven to exist in my world, so it is difficult still for me to speak of them as though they're tangible.
