Author's note: I hate whoever came up with the prompt balloon, the arrancar don't have balloons D:

He had never seen those white things before. He had never seen anything float like that. Nnoitra could not comprehend why they were all there floating. It was Aizen's birthday, and all around Las Noches were peculiar floating devices. Nnoitra did not understand them at all.

They had all been called to Aizen's meeting hall to 'celebrate'. On each balloon was an arrancar, the Espada appeared far more prominently. It was hilarious to him, almost, to see himself and Tesla plastered with goofy faces. It was funnier to see halibel, and the others with grumpy faces.

He hadn't noticed the few balloons with her face until a little later. At first, he pretended he didn't notice. But then as he waded his way out of the room after the party, and went to his room, there that same funny face was on that weird floating device.

He didn't know who put it there.

He almost felt as if he couldn't pop it.

Almost.
