"I gotta admit you gals and guy looked like you were having a little too much fun being mages in that virtual world." Ichigo comments with a small grin upon his face his eyes scanning from face to face. "Though, the funniest part is you're all out of breath and red, down to your necks, as if you've actually been doing this." Ichigo throws his head back, along the back rest of the couch, and starts laughing hysterically.

All thirteen young adults blink their eyes and look at Ichigo as if trying to figure something out. Ichigo reins in his laughter and then settles a stoic and solemn gaze upon all thirteen young adults. They all look at him each with the same look of trying to figure something out. Ichigo just sits glancing over everyone waiting for them to do or say something.

Finally, after a good minute of silence Windy May steps away from the group and moves closer to Ichigo. She leans forward and tilts her head and glances over his face. Ichigo chuckles as he can tell she's scrutinizing him. Though, his stoic and solemn look remains and he doesn't move even a fraction of an inch. Windy May steps back with her eyes wide. Ichigo chuckles, once more, but still remains still and doesn't say a word.

"I-I-Ichigo-c-chan..." Windy May barely manages to get out. Everyone else, aside from Cassandra, Teslad, Su-Na, and Lucie, takes a small step back with wide eyes. Ichigo chuckles, but once again doesn't move or say anything. Though, just as Kazuya opens his mouth to, no doubt, make a comment on this subject Ichigo speaks.

"Getting serious here, for a moment," Ichigo chuckles before continuing, "There's a lot of Limiters and even more Pandora that I don't recognize. Is something going on?" Su-Na is the one to reply to Ichigo as all the others seem to still be having an issue with getting their heads around the idea that his guy is the young lady they had become friends with, nearly three weeks prior.

"They're from East Genetics, Ichigo." Su-Na says his name with a certain level of skepticism behind it. Quite subtle, actually. So subtle that only Ichigo, Lucie, Cassandra, oddly enough, and Teslad are the ones to pick up on it. Lucie, Teslad and Cassandra glance at Su-Na before leveling their intent gazes back upon Ichigo's stoic and solemn face.


Ichigo strolls through the halls, of the Recovery Center, getting odd looks from the Chevalier ladies that keep the place operating. He simply gives, each one he passes, a small smile and they all give him looks of confusion as if they can't wrap their heads around something. Ichigo just chuckles and continues on his way through the halls. Ichigo reaches the elevator and waits for its arrival. Upon its arrival, just before the doors can open, someone grabs his attention.

"Are you really her?" Ichigo turns his head towards the voice just as the elevator doors open. Ichigo gives a small smile to the owner of the voice; Eliza. He then steps into the elevator gesturing for Eliza to come along with him. Right when the doors slide shut Ichigo speaks.

"I am, Eliza-san." Eliza stares at Ichigo as if he's some sort of unknown being. "I know it must be difficult to understand. Seeing as everything lead you to believe that I was a young, healthy and powerful Pandora." Eliza's eyes widen, but before she can even manage to stammer out a question Ichigo speaks once more. "I know because I got into West Genetics systems a few days after arriving here. You know when I managed to get my sea legs back. To use that cliche phrase." Ichigo finishes with a small chuckle and a slight grin upon his face. Right at that moment the ping of the elevator doors opening sounds out. Ichigo's face returns back to stoic and solemn as he steps out of the elevator, his hands inside his pockets. He looks over his shoulder and gives Eliza a wink as the elevator doors slide shut. Eliza's face flushes bright red and a look of confusion spreads across her face.


Ichigo stands outside a door with a room label containing the number 805 upon it. He tilts his head, slightly, to the right and seems to be lost in thought. At that moment, Ichigo slipped into his thoughts, the door opens. Ichigo steps to the side to allow the Pandora, Cassie, who is still quite injured, to leave the room. The entire time his eyes look glazed over as if he's still lost in thought. Cassie doesn't go anywhere, but nonetheless closes the door. Ichigo straightens out his head though his eyes remain glazed over.


Ichigo glances around the forest area, that is his Inner World, with a small look of confusion upon his face. Though, his eyes don't seem to give that confusion away. He lets out a small sigh and begins walking in a random direction with purpose in each step. This is going on at the same time that his body, in reality, has side-stepped Cassie and is now staring at her with glazed over eyes.


"Um..." Cassie begins as she stares up into Ichigo's eyes that seem to be staring at her yet at the same time staring through her. "Are you...um...okay...?"


Ichigo stops and looks over his right shoulder. He chuckles and then continues on walking though now his body looks less solid than earlier.


"I'm quite alright, Ojou-san." Ichigo replies without the slightest movement, to the rest of his body, and his eyes still glazed over. "I was just lost in thought. Still am, some what." Ichigo chuckles as a look of slight confusion spreads through and along Cassie's eyes and face.


Ichigo sits perched upon the foot board, of one of the recovery center beds as if he was a gargoyle, as he grins at a giggling Cassie and Julia. Both young ladies wounds have been treated, quite expertly, and they no longer need casts and braces. Not to mention that neither of them needs to be bedridden or even in the recovery center whatsoever.

"Then what happened, Ichigo-kun." Julia asks with eagerness in her vibrate obsidian eyes. Ichigo chuckles at her eagerness, but shakes his head. Cassie and Julia's giggles begin to die down and small pouts begin creeping across their beautiful faces. Ichigo lets out a small sigh, though his face and eyes are stoic and solemn.

"Fine, fine." Ichigo begins as he shakes his head and gives Cassie and Julia a small grin. "I'll tell you. Well, the guy was down, but I knew he wasn't out. I went out of my way to make sure he was..." Ichigo, much to Cassie and Julia's dismay, is cut off by the door, to room 805, practically being knocked off its hinges by a frantic Windy May. Cassie and Julia stare at her, but not with looks of shock or curiosity they look at her with full blown pouts on their lips. Ichigo simply tilts his head, slightly, and stares at Windy May with his stoic and solemn look though his eyes seem to be glazed over now.


Ichigo lets out a small sigh and then glances over his right shoulder. He raises a brow as the frantic Windy May scene reaches him, within his Inner World. "What the hell is she so frantic about?" Ichigo looks forward with a small sigh. "Don't fucking tell me more fucking Nova are attacking West Genetics." Mere seconds after those words leave his lips he lets out a hearty chuckle.


Ichigo speaks, with his eyes still glazed over. "Really, now. That's why you're all frantic." Windy May nods her head with her awesome puppy dog pout beginning to rev up. Ichigo shrinks back, a bit, but still remains in his perched position upon the foot board of the bed. "Why are you getting like this, Windy May-chan. I haven't done anything wrong." Windy May's awesome puppy dog pout revs up to full gear upon those words.


Ichigo cringes and stops walking, nearly instantly the cringe hits, and glances around him, quickly, before looking back over his right shoulder. "Seriously, that pout of hers is going to be the quilt trap and trip that kills me." Ichigo looks forward and shakes his head and body out, like he's attempting to shake out a cramp, before setting on his way once more, still as transparent as when he was outside room 805.
