Oh, well, I bet I could totally get a cute little red dress with white trim. How cute would that be?

I promise, if I feel the need to go on a picnic at night again, I'll demand you come with me.

Okay! A robot! Promise! I mean, I was surprised I got so many anyway, I seem to get all sorts of clothes in my blessings' basket, not that I'm complaining.

[not_so_hollow]

Somehow, I wouldn't be surprised at all if you did get one. All you'd be missing is a red nosed reindeer.

Good. It doesn't sit well with me, the idea of you hanging out alone in the dark like that.

She'd love it. But yeah, I... would probably be floored, if I got that many of anything in my basket?

Now that I think about it, I haven't gotten even one thing in it...

[Little does he know, there's gonna be some really unexpected crap popping up in that thing very soon.]

[lightthedarkness]

Well, I have Sunshine, he's just a deer though, not a reindeer. [And literally NO ONE except Ruby would want gift deliveries with Sunshine as her steed.]

I mean, I understand why, this place is super dangerous so...

Oh no! Well, maybe you can try asking for something? That's how I got the kigurumi.

[not_so_hollow]

You've got a deer? Like a pet deer? Named Sunshine? [Okay, so maybe he shouldn't be surprised at the deer part, considering where they are. But it's a boy deer, named Sunshine.... he might be judging a little, over here, Usagi.]

Yeah, I'd be pretty mad at myself if anything happened to you and I could've stopped it. Especially after my promise.

...do you think that works in reverse? Like I could ask for someone else to get something?

[The brain child you've put into his head is going to come back to bite him in the ass later, girl. So bad.]

[lightthedarkness]

Pet... is not the right word. He's a spirit and he protects me... I think. And HE picked the name, FYI. I went through toootally reasonable names and said Sunshine in frustration and he picked it. I'm not arguing with a spirit.

I don't see why it couldn't? All the kigus were for other people, after all.

[not_so_hollow]

Fair enough, I can tell you first hand that arguing with spirits probably isn't the best idea. Kinda curious to know what reasonable names are to you, though, if Sunshine came up in frustration.

I might try it out, then. Worst that can happen is a whole lotta nothin, right?

[lightthedarkness]

I... try not to argue with spirits. But look, I'm gonna be honest spirits and ghosts and all that creep me out. Like, I'll deal with it, fine, but I rather not. I know it's such a weird fear but there are so many ghosts back home.

[not_so_hollow]

They used to kinda creep me out when I was a kid, but that was when I had a hard time telling the difference between who was living and who wasn't. Now it's just a regular thing to me.

If you've ever got a ghost that's totally creepin' you out and won't go away, lemme know. It's kinda part of my job to send em off if they won't go on their own.

[lightthedarkness]

Oh wow! You've been able to see them that long!

You're job? Are you an exorcist or something?

[not_so_hollow]

Yup, I couldn't even actually tell you when it started cause I couldn't tell the difference. Pretty early though.

I'm a substitute Shinigami.

[lightthedarkness]

... I'm sorry, did you just say a "substitute shinigami?" as in when like a Shinigami is feeling ILL or something you cover their job that day?

[not_so_hollow]

Ha

Not quite

They're usually posted up in the human world, but because I'm human AND a shinigami, I have like. Soul Society's go ahead to act in their place, if they aren't able to handle it or whatever.

[To put it simply, anyway... it's a hell of a lot more complicated than that but. You know. Lazy.]

[lightthedarkness]

... I gotta ask, what exactly is a shinigami not able to handle?

[not_so_hollow]

Anything I say is just gonna sound like a foreign language to you, and I'll break it down for you if you want, but... they usually send lower ranked Shinigami to deal with normal Hollows (a kinda monster that human souls turn into eventually if they don't pass on). The more powerful stuff varies. Menos Grande, Arrancar, Espada. Other Shinigami. Quincy.

I'm passed the Captain level, so... idk, I'm like the boots on the ground for when shit really hits the fan or somethin'.

[lightthedarkness]

Soooo you're like a big deal, huh? That's super cool.

And not at all surprising.

[not_so_hollow]

I

Didn't say THAT

Or didn't mean to make it sound that way

I'm not like. Full of myself like that or anything!

Shit

[lightthedarkness]

Didn't say you did! But it's still super impressive!

And I didn't think you were sounding full of yourself. You can be proud of your accomplishments, Ichigo-kun!

[not_so_hollow]

Ahh guess it just. Felt that way to me.


I mean, I AM proud of em, it just seems. IDK, I realized some things a while back that made me realize I was kind of a jerk to my friends, partially cause of pride, so. I'm trying to be better about that.

[lightthedarkness]

I get it. But no worries, you can brag a LITTLE especially since I don't have a clue what most of it means.

[not_so_hollow]

I'll try to keep that in mind... maybe someday I'll tell you all about it.

When we have loads of time to kill.

[lightthedarkness]

When one of us gets sick or something, then. Like when my entire side was ripped open by the sound monsters and I had two weeks of bed rest.

[Usagi... maaaaay have forgotten to mention that happened.]

[not_so_hollow]

[UH YEAH YOU DID, WHAT THE HELL, USAGI???]

What?! When did that shit happen? Not recently, right?!

I had to look back to when this thread originally started lol

[lightthedarkness]

Hm? What no no, it happened last month... kinda like a week or so after we first met in fact.

LOL I had to do that for the moon log too. long haul threads right here

[not_so_hollow]

OK I guess I can see why you didn't mention it...

Anything like that ever happens again though, you'd better tell me. Inoue can help with injuries like that...

And I'd be more than glad to beat some monster ass for you, Usagi.

[lightthedarkness]

She wouldn't mind healing a stranger? We've only talked once, don't get me wrong, I would love to be her friend! But she seemed a bit shy.

But I will, or, I'll try too.

You're awesome, Ichigo-kun.
