The Weird Oneshot

It's not what we do.
Anyone can justify what they do.
It's how we do it.
If you're strong, you can do what you want.
If you have the will, you can get things done.
Sometimes… Sometimes you do what needs to be done.
Most don't have that will. Most don't have that drive.
Most can't handle what this life would require of them.
Some thrive in it. They rise to the top, and never look back.
But they are few and far between. And tend to have their own problems.
Me? I didn't have a choice.
It was thrust upon me… Life or death. The choice was obvious.
Inertia is a powerful force. Most people can barely overcome its incredible resistance.
But once you do, inertia will keep you going.
It doesn't let you stop, though.
It forces you to stay on your path, making it harder for you to quit then it would be to keep on fighting.
It's funny, in a way, how much about life you can learn in a science class-room.
Friction with anyone will cause you to slow down, will halt your progress.
The most enjoyable and the least enjoyable relationships can always be described as inelastic collisions… Because it's always the best, or the worst, when you get stuck with the person you crash into.
And the most important one, I've found, is free energy. Free energy explains so much of my life, and my growth.
Because free energy grows fastest in chaotic situations. As disorder increases, so does the energy. The power. The likelihood that the process, the equation, the reaction… the likelihood that I would succeed… They all increase as the entropy increases.
Whenever I need to get stronger, the universe gets crazier. Whenever the universe gets more messed up, I get more energy.
Because for reactions to proceed, for equations to be meaningful…
The free energy has to be negative. The energy can't be free. It must be contained.
And, I've found, that it always seems to get contained in me.
If I'm free energy, then Chad is water. Without him, I probably wouldn't be alive.
He's an anomaly… A giant amongst the Japanese. Hollow-like powers amongst the living.
Just as water gets less dense as it freezes, so too does Chad stand out. He's strong, yet won't fight. He's a giant, yet makes less noise then a mouse. He will defend others, yet not himself. Just like water breaks all the rules regarding liquids, Chad is different from all other people.
Uryu would be titration. He's precise. He's tricky to handle… Too little, and he won't respond. Too much… He redefines overkill.
If you know him, and understand how he thinks, how he works, he's a powerful ally. Offend him, and you'll find yourself screwed over. His style can easily be translated into the special equipment required to utilize titration to its fullest and most accurate measure. After all, if he doesn't have his special outfit, he won't be nearly as effective.
Orihime is like Quantum mechanics. If you don't know her… she just doesn't make sense. She has odd rules, and is incredibly quirky in ways you never really would have imagined existing… That is, until you find out it DOES exist. Then, after a while, it starts to make sense.
Her ability to reject is analogous to how quantum mechanics rejected all previous theories of atoms. It revolutionized theory, letting people do and explain things that were previously not even thought of… Like rejecting, and thus countering, actions that had already been committed.
And, it helps that she has a rather nice P-Orbital herself…
The Shinigami could be read like a periodic table. Everything from Renji's Sodium (he's far too explosive and reacts immediately to the smallest of things) to Byakuya's Argon (A noble gas, indeed.). Kenpachi's Titanium and Aizen's Mercury… It's all there.
Rukia… Rukia would be a dipole bond. She draws people to her… And she makes them attached. But it always seems to an off balance relationship. You can't quite get too close, but you can't pull away.
And she always demands so much, while giving up little in return. It's not a problem, but it does seem like my relationship with her, as well as Renji's, seem stilted. But which of us has the stronger pull… I'm not sure.
Really… Science has an odd way of explaining far too many things in my life…
Author's Notes: Yeah. I take too many science courses. But it's my own fault, seeing as I'm a Bio major and all.
Most of what I used are chemistry concepts (or, in Ishida's case, a lab technique). Some of them might be a little off, but they all touch on the truth. (Gibbs) Free Energy, (Delta G) is my favorite concept in all of chemistry, simply because it makes so much sense. For things to happen, there has to be disorder. Entropy rocks it, hardcore.
And the P-orbital joke is funny. If ya don't get it, look up pictures of what P-Orbitals look like.
