No better time to work on fanfiction than on a rainy day. Then there's no guilty "I should go outside and play" feeling. So here we go…
Wolfie: Attendance register for the day?
Halibel: Since I am unable to leave… Isn't this a bit pointless?
Wolfie: Not necessarily. For all I know, you could still be off bonding with Starrk.
Starrk: Technically she is. We're just doing it here to help you get this thing over with.
Lilynette: Show more freaking enthusiasm Starrk! Doesn't anything make you excited anymore?
Starrk: I wouldn't say that…
Wolfie: Anyway, it looks like we're all present so let's waste no time since I happen to be infamous for that… First up is LionKingFactsGuy2. Gee, I wonder what that name is supposed to signify?
Starrk: Hmm, sounds like someone from the faction of Lions that want to gain dominance over their kings?
Lilynette: No Starrk! You got it all wrong! That's Kings and Horses, not lions.
Halibel: Am I the only one that finds the "2" suspicious?
Hello there Miss Ultrawolfie and And Lady Halibel. I am called Lionkingfactsguy for obvious reasons. Let's just say I got really caught up in all these chapters and interviews and I must say I'm enjoying them quite well.
Wolfie: I appreciate that. I'm also a huge Lion King fan so facts are always interesting if you feel like sharing. I know the most famous fact is that Lion King is based on Hamlet by Shakespeare.
Oh and hello Natsu, pleasure to meet you despite your tendency to have a big mouth. And Gray, you are awesome except for your stripping habit.
Wolfie: For the purpose of the few questions concerning Natsu and Gray, since I was behind on reviews, they will be on video chat.
Video Natsu: "Big mouth! Why don't you come and say it to my face!"
Video Gray: "I'm not sure whether to be flattered or insulted here…"
I have a few questions for all of you.
For Lady Halibel, What was it like when you became an Arrancar and later an Espada? How did your fraccion feel when they too became Arrancar?
Halibel: It was amazing. The difference in power from Vasto Lorde to arrancar was unbelievable and I felt that I really would be able to protect anyone I want without a single sacrifice. As for the Espada position, since I was one of the newest members of the Espada, I was put straight into the third place without having to work my way up the ranks. It was quite a satisfactory place since it meant that I did not have to acknowledge many people as my superiors.
Wolfie: One of the newest? I didn't know that. And I don't recall you showing any respect to Barragan anyway.
Halibel: The conflict between Barragan and I goes back to when we were still Adjuchas so it had nothing to do with rankings. And among the Espada; Aaroniero, Nnoitra, Grimmjow, Szayel-Aporro and Barragan were Espada long before me. Even Ulquiorra and Starrk got their places before I did since Aizen only found me after defecting from Soul Society.
Starrk: Yeah, I recall your creation. I was very relieved back then since you seemed much more amicable than the rest of the Espada we had around.
Halibel: Same here Starrk, you were the only normal one. As for my fraccion, they were just as interested in their new bodies since they could move around much better. Apache was a bit troubled by her appearance since she felt that Mila-Rose and Sunsun turned out far more beautiful but I reassured her afterwards.
For Miss Wolfie, Was it difficult to get all of this, the interview, people, together?
Wolfie: Some took more… persuading than others, but I have my ways. An author has absolute power in their own realm after all.
For Natsu, Do you ever wonder if you had a normal life? Like no powers?
Video Natsu: "Well Yeah I guess I did until Igneel found me. Or maybe I was already spitting fire as a baby kekeke!"
Video Gray: "That would explain why you were abandoned as a baby."
Video Natsu: "What! I'll burn you to ash and abandon the ash on Juvia's bed you ice freak!"
For Gray, How do you feel about Juvia?
Video Gray: "Bring it Natsu! You won't even get close- Oh, Juvia? Well she's just a close friend to me right now. I wish she'd understand that already, but she's damn persistent.
I'm not use to dares so I'll give it a shot.
I dare Natsu to tell Apacci that he thinks she is an ugly unicorn, Mila-Rose that she's a man-gorilla, and Sung-Sung that she's weird. I don't hate them or nothing, in fact I like them but I thought it would be funny. And he better do it or I'll lock him in a vehicle and drive all over the place.
Halibel: I see no way in which this could possibly go wrong…
Wolfie: Wait! If Natsu is still on video chat, then couldn't we resolve this without it ending in violence?
Halibel: Good point. *Turns on another video screen and calls her fraccion*
Video Sunsun: "You called mistress? What can we do for you?"
Halibel: Someone wants to send you a message. Alright Natsu, do the thing. (Catch that reference and I will love you forever)
Video Natsu: "What's the big idea with insulting random ladies?"
Video Apache: "Who's the pink-haired freak?"
Video Natsu: "You know what, I don't care anymore. Horny, you're an ugly unicorn! Amazon, you're a man-eating gorilla and Snakey… you're weird. Who came up with the last insult anyway?"
Video Apache, Mila-Rose and Sunsun: "You bast-/Say that to my face-/How unpleasant-!"
Wolfie quickly cuts off the video chat before it gets unpleasant for real.
I dare Gray to kiss Juvia on the cheek and say she's beautiful. Do it or else: *traces finger across throat*
Video Gray: "But I just said- Oh this just isn't fair…"
Halibel: If life was fair, then I'd be queen of Hueco Mundo with Aizen's head at my feet. Not in this stupid little show.
Wolfie: …I'm hurt… but I agree with the first part.
Video Gray: "Wait, I've got a plan…"
Gray goes to Juvia's dorm room and waits until she is fast asleep for the night. The he walks up next to her bed and leans over.
Gray: 'Sheesh, what's with all these creepy dark-haired puppets- Wait, is that me? …Gross… Better get this over with then, I don't mind Juvia but I really don't want to encourage her more…'
He quickly gives Juvia a peck on the cheek.
Gray: *Whispers* You're beautiful. *He vanishes through the window.
Juvia smiles serenely and starts mumbling in her sleep. "Gray-sama, visiting … again? …love … get in bed … naked… engage in … feverish … (aand let's cut it off there)
I dare Wolfie to tell Hiyori that I think she's the most annoying person in the world and that she is as ugly as an ape, no, an ape is prettier than her, she's an idiot, she's got no figure, she's an old hag that should grow up and she's as violent as a gorilla and as coordinated as a buffalo. And yes I hate her.
Wolfie: Issues much?
Halibel: That seems slightly extreme, even if that girl is quite irritable.
Starrk: Why do you say that?
Halibel: I fought her, remember. She kept getting distracted along with Hitsugaya Toshirou. It was very disrespectful, considering that we were in the middle of a fight.
Wolfie: Guess I don't really have a choice, even if I do like her…
Wolfie steps through portal to Karakura town at Hiyori's hideout.
Hiyori: Eh? Who're you? How'd ya get in here!
Wolfie: Please understand that the following is not my own opinion but simply a message from someone else. You are the *ahem* most annoying person in the world, ugly as an ape or rather a prettier ape with a better figure that is also smarter, a youthful witch aand eh… I'm still missing something, uncoordinated gorilla and violent wildebeest I think?
Hiyori: …
Wolfie: No hard feelings?
Hiyori: …
Wolfie: I'll take that as a hopeful ye- *Gets slapped with a sandal so hard that head turns sideways with a clear audible CRACK*
Hiyori: YOU STUPID BALDY! IT WAS THAT DICKHEAD LEWD SHINJI THAT PUT YOU UP TO THIS, WASN'T IT?!
Wolfie: …I think you broke a vertebrate… I can't feel my body.
Suddenly a negacion beam engulfs Wolfie and lifts her to safety.
Halibel: Thought it was about time for someone to bail you out.
Lilynette: Hehehe, I like this gal! She should show me some tricks with my shoes.
Starrk: Why do I get the feeling that this would end badly for me…
I dare Lady Halibel to show us her super attack.
Halibel: Eh… There are multiple options really, since water can do anything. There's even Segunda Etapa if I really want to be at my strongest.
Starrk: Maybe he means the attack you were preparing for against the kid captain. You were gathering a pretty large amount of water with your random attacks.
Halibel: That one eh… Probably not my strongest anymore but it goes like this. Attack Tiburon!
Halibel goes into a large cocoon of water and cuts her way out after the transformation finishes. She lifts her sword and releases a massive cascada to generate enough water first. The blonde judged the amount of water to be enough and started charging up her reiatsu, taking a yellow glow. "Caza Misiles de Tiburones (Hunting shark missiles). From the ocean below, numerous jetstreams of water shot up and took the form of sharks. The empress pointed them at a target and they all shot after it, refusing to be shaken off until they devoured their prey…
Wolfie: …That's so cool!
Lilynette: Awesome! They're so bloodthirsty!
Starrk: And there are too many to repel them all with attacks like ice.
Halibel: It gets better. Once they taste a drop of blood, they go into a frenzy and their speed and strength doubles.
Wolfie: So even Hitsugaya would have succumbed sooner or later… Or rather it depends on if he could use Hyoten Hyakkaso in time.
Halibel: After this is a question from Dandin.
How many reviews do you need for chapters?
Wolfie: There isn't a set number. Just enough to write with but it differs since reviews with a lot of dares take me a lot longer and takes up more space than ones that focus on questions and comments.
Lilynette: Next up is Booklover41!
Hello, my name is Booklover41 I must say it is a pleasure to speak with you Tia. Anyway Aizen threw away his sword in his fight with Ichigo and I found it. Can I keep her?
Halibel: Kyoka Suigetsu? I'm a bit uneasy about that. I suppose it is good that he will not be using it anymore but what exactly do you plan to use it for?
Starrk: Come to think of it, did he ever show what its bankai was?
Halibel: I don't believe so, unless its ridiculously good hypnosis was his bankai all along. No shikai can be that good…
Before anything else I would like to mention that when I'm bored I do some weird things like dying Halibel's shark, Tiburon, pink.
Tiburon shudders on Halibel's back.
Halibel: Why did I feel a sudden chill? Who are you and when did you reach Tiburon without me noticing?!
First, Ultrawolfie, I just had a stare off with Unohana and won. And not only survived seconds of Orihime's food, but went back for thirds. Does that make me awesome? P.S. I do have taste buds.
Wolfie: Madre de Dios… (Mother of God) First Aizen's sword and now all of this? Just who are you!?
Halibel: Did you hypnotize us at the start of the review or something?
Lilynette: I don't know about ya guys but I think that's about the definition of awesome!
My next question for you is what is your favorite type of Pizza? Mine is Pepperoni with extra cheese.
Wolfie: Mine is a Debonairs Margherita with no fresh tomatoes on top and extra tomato base. The people at the restaurant know my order so well that they start typing it up as soon as I walk into the shop.
Halibel: It's disgusting really… Looks like bits of cheese floating in lava or blood.
Halibel I dare you to kiss Ichigo on the lips, no loopholes you have to use your lips so be in your released form, no using rubber to cover your lips it has to last till Ichigo pulls away, you can't tell him why and someone need to record his reaction after you flash step or whatever it's called away. Also Musa can't kill Ichigo, or harm him in anyway, physically, mentally, emotionally. This goes for everyone.
Halibel: But I…
Wolfie: Did you send this after an old chapter? Masa is long gone. Starrk on the other hand…
Starrk: *Fumes quietly*
Halibel: Fine… Starrk, you know this doesn't mean anything.
Starrk: …Yeah… Let's just say it's a good thing this is almost over.
Halibel steps through a portal to where Ichigo is chilling in his room, going into resurreccion while still in the portal. Lilynette follows her for the purpose of the recording. She steps through the window as Ichigo looks up in surprise. Before he has a chance to respond, the empress leans forward to plant a kiss but as soon as their lips make contact, the strawberry-haired boy pulls away in shock.
Ichigo: What the hell! Yoruichi is already bad enough but now- Are you in cahoots with her or something? Who said you could come in and-
Halibel: This means nothing human. Be grateful and forget that this ever happened. Immediately leaves through portal before he has a chance to reply.
Yuzu: Oniichan? I heard you shouting in here but nobody else is here?
Ichigo: Ehm... I- Just practicing a speech out loud.
Yuzu: …Oniichan, if something is bothering you, you can always talk to me or Karin-chan. You know that right? *Smiles sweetly and leaves*
Ichigo: What! No! I'm not crazy or depressed! Yuzu, get back-
And back to our group.
Halibel: See it all worked out. He was such a prude that he pulled away immediately.
Starrk: …I've just made a new year's resolution to never make fun of anyone acting like a prude.
Lilynette: Got a new appreciation for them, eh Starrk?
Starrk: You have no idea…
Masa you mad? Anyway I saw what you did to Aizen, and I have to say why were you so kind. Me the first thing I would do involves a rust cheese grater, lemon juice and the medicine viagra. Also there is an ancient viking death were to lateral lines are cut into the back and the lung are pulled out but not dispatched, if done correctly it takes at least 3 minutes for them to die. Then there is another ancient way were one inflect hundred of cuts (think about when you fillet a fish, sorry Halibel) to the body with causing much bleed, hurts like hell. and that's just the warm up. I utterly despise traitors.
Halibel: *Gulps* I just imagined where that would lead… Alright, does anyone have any brain bleach for me?
Wolfie: Got it right here. The things I've seen in some series and movies…
Lilynette: …I wanna reincarnate as a Viking!
Halibel: Well… You do have the horns for it.
Starrk: But you're in the wrong age. *Lies back on his arms for a nap*
Lilynette: Don't burst my bubble!
Wolfie: Interestingly enough, I heard that Viking horns are just a myth and they actually used it for drinking instead of putting it on their helmets.
Lilynette: …My life is a lie…
Lilynette can you wake up Stark, please? Here's an air horn, use it or hit him with it, either one works.
Lilynette: He's learnt how to block sound out when sleeping so… plan B! *Uses the horn to whack Starrk where the sun doesn't shine.*
Starrk: OW Goddammit! Can't I catch a break just for five minutes!
…
Hew Stark? if you had to date someone who would you date and why?
Starrk: You woke me up for this? Gee, Marilyn Manson.
Halibel: …
Starrk: I kid, I kid… That question has already answered itself.
Finally Mr. Emo I dare you to put on a pink frilly dress or sing you are my sunshine to Orihime. oh and if you pick the first one you have to kiss Kon!
Wolfie: Sorry, dares should be based on the information of the latest chapter if possible. You got lucky with Starrk being here, like what are you? Psychic? But I only make exceptions if I stalled reviews, like with Natsu and Gray.
Halibel: Knowing Ulquiorra, he'd pick the song but he would sing it like a funeral dirge and probably drive anyone in hearing range suicidal with depression.
Wait one more for Ultrawolfie-dono, can you guess my gender?
Wolfie: I don't usually have a very good instinct (and it amounts to rotten gambling luck) but my gut feeling tells me you're female. Please don't kill me like the time Dareth accidently called NorthernShinigami male!
Halibel: Hope you're right on that one or this will be embarrassing. Next is the return of Yukicrewger2.
Yuki: WHEEEEeeeeee! *flies off into the distance* I can see my house from heeeeeeereee!
Ryu: ...to clarify, the railgun Yuki was talking about is a technique that the main character uses by flicking a coin at supersonic speeds using electricity.
Wolfie: Ah… Certainly doesn't sound like the name. And is something the matter with Yuki?
Naya: *pops up out of nowhere* I wantz a hug from Lilyn-chan
Ryu: *sighs and facepalms* there's that too... Quick question for Starrk, can you fire other rounds from Lilynette or is it just limited to the wolf bullets and the beam? I'm curious if you can do a shotgun version or not. Heck, maybe if you altered them like jutsu from the Naruto-verse, you could make a lightning wolf to paralyze your target for capture missions...
Starrk: I can fire off any form of cero and in any interval. Cero metralleta is kind of like a continuous shotgun. There's also Gran Rey Cero and Cero Oscuras but they take too long to charge for a high speed combat so I avoid them. I only have flame wolves though since my soul can't really be manipulated into different elements but that would be a very interesting technique if I could do that.
Naya: I want to see who would win in a Lazy-off between Starrk and Shikamaru (Naruto) like, who can be lazier or something.
Ryu: yes, because if it was an out-lazy contest it would never end and We'd have to get Lilynette and Ino to... deal... with them.
Starrk: I really don't have the energy for this…
Halibel: Why would it have to be a contest? Even if you just watch their daily lives, you would get your answer.
Wolfie: As a neutral spectator, I would have to say that Starrk would win something like this. Shikamaru at least has to constantly act as a leader, go on missions and get into regular fights.
Halibel: Meanwhile, Starrk can't even put up the trouble to find a proper bed and just sleeps on a bunch of pillows. The only activity he gets is an espada meeting once every couple of weeks and he only had to fight at the winter war and even left the leadership to Barragan.
Starrk: I'm not sure if I should be flattered or insulted that you two believe in my laziness.
Lilynette: Consider it disgraceful. Next is Thunder Wolf. Man, now I really wish I could be an electric wolf in battle. It sounds so cool!
Comment 1: if you're having trouble finding the anime I suggest you-tube.
Wolfie: I prefer avoiding youtube if possible. It's a drain on… resources and my chances to not get grounded.
Question 1: what is halibels top 10 to kill
Halibel: Hmm, let's go from top to bottom to make it easier to number… 1-Azien (If you don't know why, you're reading the wrong story), 2-Juha Bach (See above reason), 3-Szayel-Aporro-
Wolfie: Really? I thought Nnoitra would be higher.
Halibel: Yes, it's a common misconception that Nnoitra is my most hated fellow espada but the truth is, other than the occasional chauvinistic comment, he generally leaves me along. I despise Szayel-Aporro because I judge people on how they treat their subordinates. Nnoitra still sort of cares for Tesla but Szayel treats his fraccion like scum. Therefore he is scum.
Wolfie: Ah, makes sense.
Halibel: 4-Nnoitra (I still don't like him), 5-Yamamoto (He hurt my fraccion, therefore he pisses me off), 6-Gin (Numerous reasons concerning his actions throughout my time in Las Noches.), 7-Barragan (He doesn't give me as much trouble as during our hollow days but he still irritates me), 8-Hiyori (She was disrespectful during our fight by not paying attention to it), 9-Hmm It's getting harder now… Grimmjow (He wrecked a part of my tower by fighting too close and not holding back. It was very inconvenient.), 10-Wolfie (For dragging me onto this dumb show.)
Wolfie: You don't really mean that? Do you? Please tell me you don't!
Halibel: Who knows… Better sleep with one eye open.
Dare 1: I dare both/all (depends on if there a guests) to eat inoue's cooking for a month.
Wolfie: It's times like this that I have never been happier to have established rules. I stated at the start of this story that no dares will last longer than an hour.
Halibel: It's not specified how many meals or anything like that so let's limit it to one.
Lilynette: Sound good, I'm always up for new food.
Inoue magically appears
Inoue: Perfect timing! I was just experimenting at home by throwing some extra stuff in while Tatsuki-chan was in the bathroom. I can't wait to see the look on her face but yours will by great too! *Hands everyone a dish of… something*
Lilynette: …
Starrk: …
Wolfie: …
Halibel: …Why is it blue?
Orihime: Secret ingredient plus lots of tender loving care.
Lilynette: Oh well… *Slurps up the… whatever it is*
Starrk: If she can, no reason this should kill me. *Tenderly tries a spoonful of the… mystery concoction*
Wolfie: This is that moment in a horror movie where you scream at the person to not do the stupid thing… But this is still a dare so… *Carefully licks the tip of the spoon*
Halibel: I guess… *Quickly gulps down a mouthful to get it over with* There's metal. Why do I taste metal? Metal shouldn't be in food.
Starrk: *Lies passed out on the ground with a trial of smoke leaving his mouth.*
Wolfie: …Right, now to get my tongue amputated…
Lilynette: …Not that bad but still and acquired taste.
Halibel: That went much better than I expected… this time around. Last reviewer for the day is the return of Ice Prince Hitsugaya.
Me: Hello again, it's been another long while. But it's nice to see an update from you again...and thanks for sticking up for your reviewers with Natsu.
Toshiro: *Bows* It's always a pleasure Wolfie, Tia Harribel, Coyote Starrk and Lilynette Gingerbuck.
Me: *Looks to him with a raised brow* You're so polite with them, yet you're not normally this way.
Toshiro: Not quite...I'm just not polite to you. *Says this coldly with a shrug, causing me to sweat drop*
Halibel: We appreciate the effort since it clearly doesn't apply to everyone.
Me: Right. *Clears throat* Anyway...welcome back Starrk and Lilynette, I know I wasn't here like this while you two were around...but I was watching the whole time.
Lilynette: I'm not sure if I should like that…
Toshiro: Stalker.
Me: *Shake my head and hands quickly* That's not what I meant! I mean...I was reading the...*Sighs*...oh forget it. *I huff lightly and go into a corner to munch on some cake* You give your questions first, then I'll make my dares. *I say this with a pout before looking to Wolfie with a piece of cake offered to her* Want some?
Wolfie: Is the sky blue? Is Starrk unconscious? Of course I would like some. I've been making really pretty cakes with fondant recently. There was one that looked like an owl.
Halibel: The sky isn't blue.
Wolfie: I didn't mean Hueco Mundo…
Toshiro: *Sighs heavily with a shrug as he looks to Starrk* I was just curious as to how long you actually sleep each day. I understand that Lilynette wakes you up in...her own way...but how long would you sleep if she didn't.
Starrk: *Regaining consciousness* If she didn't bother me at all, then I would probably be comfortable with around twenty hours per day. After that, I do need to expel some energy and eat.
Lilynette: I do my best to limit that to at least sixteen hours or else I'd be bored stiff.
*Turns to Lilynette* For you, I was wondering if you play soccer. *Shrugs* I play it quite often, but it's always on the level of humans since it's usually as a favor to Kurosaki Karin...so it would be nice to have someone else that would give a good challenge.
Lilynette: Soccer? What's that?
Wolfie: A human sport. You basically run around in a team kicking a ball into a goal and pretending that you are in agony every time someone glances you.
Lilynette: The ball part sounds fun but it sound like it's a sport for sissies.
Wolfie: Well, not everyone act like that. It's just what the professional matches look like these days but it's still a fun sport.
Lilynette: Then I wouldn't mind giving it a try at all.
*Shifts his gaze to Harribel* As I've come to understand it, you and Starrk are in a relationship...so what sort of things do you do together in a 'date-like' manner? *Brings out a small note book with a pen* After reaching the end of my story, I've gotten married to my childhood friend...*Sweat drops*...so I'd like any possible ideas for keeping my wife happy.
Me: *I chuckle to myself in the corner*
Toshiro: Shut up! *Huffs lightly* You put me through Hell...literally! So just be quiet and stay in your corner! *He orders this out like a true Captain as he turns back to Harribel with his pen at the ready to write*
Me: *I pout lightly before grinning deviously and whispering to Wolfie* I had him marry Yoruichi. Oh...*Looks around briefly before whispering even more silently*...don't tell him, but I hinted at a harem at the end. *I say this with a wink, to which Toshiro glances to me quickly as I just whistle*
Wolfie: Ooh, Yoruichi. When you said childhood friend I thought for a second you meant Hinamori. I'm quite fond of the two of them personally.
Halibel: Uhm… We haven't really been together long enough to properly answer that question.
Starrk: Yeah, we're still figuring it out.
Halibel: I guess something important would be to put your partner's needs before your own and do things that they would like.
Starrk: If you do it right, then they return that same sentiment so in the end you both will get to do what you want without clashing.
Halibel: Eating together never hurts either. It's always calm and fun.
Wolfie: I'd listen to that advice but seem to be lacking dates in my current life so maybe one day. *Whispers* If a harem is coming, then I wish him the best of luck.
Toshiro: *Finishes writing with a nod of his head, him then putting the note book away and turning to Wolfie* I was originally going to ask you about non-anime television shows, but then I thought that it would deviate a bit away from the continuity of this whole subject.
Me: *Rolls me eyes* Oh sure...use smart words why don't ya.
Toshiro: *Ignores me completely* So my question to you is; What new anime and/or manga have you become interested in recently?
Wolfie: Well I can answer both. With non-anime, I've really enjoyed Legend of Korra and Game of Thrones. And anime-wise, I haven't really been trying new stuff since I'm the type to focus on a couple and obsess over them instead of trying every new series I see. But I'm always happy to see updates for the pokemon manga, Just watched Soul Eater NOT and loved it. I always wished they would actually remake Soul Eater because of the excellent manga story. And I'm currently acquiring Attack on Titan after hearing a lot of interesting stuff so I look forward to watching that when I return from my holiday.
Halibel: Holiday?
Wolfie: I didn't tell you? Tomorrow, I'll be away for two weeks visiting Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand. Tropical beach paradise, here I come!
Halibel: …Is there place in your suitcase for one more?
Wolfie: It's tiny. I'm packing light.
Halibel: I'll protect you from sharks.
Wolfie: …You're in!
Halibel: …Sucker.
Me: Yosh! It's my turn for the dares. *I say this with a devious grin before looking up in thought* First up, Starrk! *Looks to said arrancar* I dare you to follow Byakuya around and whisper 'There's a stain on your scarf' every few minutes, but make sure to stay out of sight. And every time he checks his scarf...Toshiro has to buy us a food item of our choosing!
Toshiro: *Blinks in shock* I didn't agree to that!
Me: *Shrugs* Too late!
Toshiro: *Groans and pulls out his wallet*
Starrk: Ugh… I guess I'm fast enough to stay out of his detection range. *Steps through portal to where Byakuya is serenely walking through his garden*
Byakuya: I wonder why the number of the Koi have been declining these days?
Starrk: There's a stain on your scarf.
Byakuya: *Looks up in shock and checks his scarf immediately* I could have sworn…
Starrk: *Waits a couple of minutes* There's a stain on your scarf.
Byakuya: …Desist inner voice. I have no time for your nonsense.
Starrk: Hmm… Didn't work this time… There's an ugly greasy stain on your scarf.
Byakuya: I would never use those words. Is this your work were-cat? Guards! Run an immediate search through the perimeter of the Kuchiki manor.
Starrk: Alright, this is getting dangerous very quickly. *Steps back through portal*
Halibel: That was quick. Any luck?
Starrk: Only once I'm afraid. He caught on quickly but suspected Yoruichi.
Wolfie: I'm not surprised at all… And for that one food item, I choose pizza!
Lilynette: Seconded!
Me: *Turns to Lilynette* Now...for you.*I grin wider* I dare you to steal the golden rings Soifon wears in her hair, then plant them in her Lieutenant's room.
Lilynette: I'm not sure I fancy my chances…
Starrk: It is a stealth force member we're talking about here…
Lilynette steps through portal and quietly steps through Soifon's window while she is sleeping. She sneaks closer to the cabinet where Soifon keeps the golden ring and slowly reaches out… Suddenly her hand gets grabbed by Soifon!
Soifon: Do you honestly think that I, the captain of the stealth forces, would let down my guard while sleeping. It is the most obvious time to attack ever. Of course I had countermeasures in place alerting me to your presence. Who sent you!
Lilynette: Crap! Ehm.. What makes you think I didn't come for my own plans?
Soifon: Obviously a weakling like you would only be a gopher in someone else's master plan.
Lilynette: Ah.. yes! It was a man. He was in the shadows so I didn't see his face but I heard the crunching of chips and the jingling of a chain. He put me up to stealing your golden rings, claiming something about it belonging to a noble family.
Soifon: …That oaf! I have no words to capture his stupidity…
Lilynette quickly slips through portal while Soifon was distracted.
Starrk: You alright? You seem pretty spooked.
Lilynette: I looked death in the eye… She caught me but I managed to hint at Oomaeda's guilt so he'll probably still get the beating of his life.
*I turn to Harribel and gesture toward Starrk* I dare you to take him to a photo booth, take pictures of yourselves together and send them to the rest of the arrancar.
Photo booth magically appears as the dare is being issued.
Halibel: Why not? Sounds like a remarkably simple dare in comparison to the other two.
Starrk: That I can agree with in satisfaction.
They enter a photo booth set up for a strip of five photos. The first four flashes appear from inside the booth but before the fifth…
Starrk: …Hali?
Halibel: Yes?
Starrk: Shouldn't we be… changing our expressions or something? As far as I know, the first four are exactly the same since neither of us bothered to pose.
Halibel: I'm not sure what to do really… I've never been in a photo. Wait, I have an idea.
Starrk: What is-
The camera flash goes off and the strip of photos comes out, showing the first four to be the pair, staring at the camera with monotonous expressions and the fifth with Halibel kissing Starrk on the cheek, hollow mask still there unfortunately, and Starrk's eyes wide in surprise.
*Looks to Wolfie and tilts my head up in thought* I don't really have a dare for you...so I'll just say keep up the great work and you're awesome! *Give her a thumbs up*
Wolfie: *Returns two thumbs up* Same to you! I hope you'll be around 'till the end.
Toshiro: *Sighs* Alright...I think we've taken up enough of this page, this isn't your story you know.
Me: *Sweat drops and smiles sheepishly* A-Ah...sorry about that. Till next time!
Toshiro: *Bows* Farewell for now.
Halibel: *Pockets her copy of the photo strip* Farewell to you too.
Wolfie: And that brings another day to a close. I really need to pack now…
Halibel: Aren't you forgetting something?
Wolfie: Oh yeah… *Hands Halibel the book* Can't stick around I'm afraid. Ciao!
Chapter 38 – Take Aizen along to the beach… still in bondage.
Halibel: I can think of so many ways to have fun with this…
Lilynette: Same here! We could bury him up to his neck in sand since he can't move.
Halibel: Why stop at the neck…?
Starrk: I agree, simply for the reason that it won't be me getting buried this time. We could also just leave him you know… Imagine the sunburn, especially if the straps shift around afterwards.
Lilynette: Ooh… I've felt that… True sunburn is agony.
Halibel: A crab could end up in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Starrk: How about inviting that Hitsugaya kid to the beach. He might just come into the sun for this golden opportunity.
Lilynette: We could look for his fangirls and slip them a notice of his location.
Halibel: As if a bastard like that would be liked by a single girl. Especially with his ridiculous Superman hairdo.
Starrk: …We could dye his hair black and tip off Superman fangirls?
Lilynette: That might actually work.
Halibel: Maybe his chair could "accidently" end up too close to the water where there "just happens to be" sharks or box jellyfish "randomly" away from their usual habitat and by some "mishap", the lifeguard was distracted.
Lilynette: Was it just me or did I actually… hear the fingerquotes in her words?
Starrk: No… They were definitely there. I don't know how she does it…
Halibel: Skill… and living with a sarcastic person for 38 chapters.
Starrk: Anyway… Sounds like we have a plan.
A couple of days later. A lone figure is sitting on a chair, not by choice, on a beautiful tropical beach.
Aizen: …Why do I have a sudden feeling of impending doom?
To be continued
Right, if you've paid attention in the chapter, you'll know that I will be gone for a couple of weeks. Time for a vacation in Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand. I made sure to finish this one before I leave tomorrow. The second to last chapter will be up somewhere in January since I intend to finish this story before my second year classes start in February. And if anyone wanna chat over PM's, I'm open for that. It's been a while since I had a talk with anyone on the site. Just won't be able to reply in the next two weeks
