paradisalost

[she follows the scent of blood.

maybe she isn't aware of it, but she's stalking it, hungrily - an unconscious, basic instinct.

the Gaudium Tower? its here. the blood is here. it's--]

S-Sir!

[she's kneeling beside him in an instant - God, so much blood] S-sir! D-don't try to talk-- just... blink twice, if you can hear me!

[... A human? He shifts his head in her direction, instinctively searching for her soul energy, then croaks around his brutalized vocal chords:] Identify... yourself.

[how on Earth could he still speak...] S-Seras. Seras Victoria. Do you know where you are? [gently lays a hand over his throat to try and staunch the bleeding] Please don't speak. I'll-- I'll get you to the clinic, okay?

[grabs her wrist B| growls:] Do. Not. Take me lightly. Human. [... doesn't seem to have the strength to back that threat up, aha] Why... gigai...?

[...she's sort of used to people treating her like shit, but this is just strange. 'human?' eyes narrow] I'm afraid I'm not human, sir, and you really don't seem to be in the condition to deny my help. So, for your sake, I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that. Sling your arm around my shoulder, alright?

[and will be gently helping him sit up, taking his wrist and guiding it over her shoulder 8) bitch plz]

[Resists this as profoundly as he can... which he can't. fuck his life.] ... Where am I?

[sigh; why are the men always so stubborn? helps him to his feet with surprising ease; she's SUPA STRONG RAWR] It's a castle, called Paradisa...

Did you just... [he wasn't already a resident, and... showed up in this terrible condition?] Don't worry about it until we've had your wounds seen to, alright?

[notes dis - she feels very slim for the ease she's picking him up with =|]

... Ridiculous... Where is Komamura? Hisagi?

[awkwaaaard little 'ahaha...'] P-please stop speaking. You're only going to make it worse... [and starts leading him down the stairs...]

Do not take me so li-

[coughs up some blood on cue =)b]

[okay, she isn't sure what's more disturbing - the fact that he is beginning to smell more and more like dinner instead of a blood-covered, horribly mutilated man or that he's so stubborn he's still talking shit as he coughs up a lung.

either way, he needs help faster than her humoring his pride and allowing him to walk beside her affords.

so now she's going to (politely) scoop him up bridal style... fljsdf and is running fast - very fast - for the clinic]

[he would quite kindly ask her what the fuck she thought she was doing

but oh hey that's a new feeling

woooozy]

... Leave me. [ahaha he passes out in a few seconds =)]

[ho... so silly. she hoped he wasn't aggravated when he woke up... something about him felt... strange. different. he definitely wasn't human.

none-the-less, one Seras Victoria barges into the clinic with a dying Tousen in her arms]

H-help! This man needs help!

[... wakes up... to the tickly feeling of something over his face. He attempts to put up a hand to wipe the offending thing off.]

S-sir, please don't...

[she leans forward from the chair she'd confiscated and pulled up beside the bed, catching his hand before he could tug off the bandages she'd wrapped wherever she could to stop the bleeding. it was only temporary, but it was better than him dying before someone could see to him...]

[... this girl again. Seras, she called herself. This explained nothing. Who was she? Where were they? Why was she helping him? (Ostensibly; it was a cruel world of violence and injustice; she had her own motives, he was certain.) More importantly, how did he escape from the false Karakura?]

What are you doing? [pushes down a cough; reaaaally doesn't need bloodflecks squirting out of his throat.]

Trying to help you.

What happened to you?

[ HE WENT TO GET A SNACK... or something, and now he's appearing a little ways off to the right. he looks over, and is at their side in a second ]

Let me see the wound.

[trying to keep his breathing relaxed...] None of your concern.

[... This soul was strong. Tousen shifts his empty gaze to him, wondering exactly where all these people were coming from and how so many human-like creatures were getting so familiar with him in the first place.]

[she jumps to her feet when she spots Albus] I-I think he just arrived like this. He doesn't seem to know anything about this place, and... um, I tried to stop the bleeding, but... [rofl Tousen is mummified... all covered in bandages ;; rofl]

[ ... he nods, and gets rid of the bandages near Tousen throat with a wave. Merlin, but that is a terrible wound. he keeps calm, though, as he circles his wand on the area above and around the wound, saying words in Latin under his breath. after a bit, the bleeding slows considerably, almost stopping. this kind of wound is a bit beyond him, so-- he turns to the young blonde woman ]

I'll be back in a few moments. Do not let him move.

[ turns, disappears ]

[... That was a kido that Tousen had never experienced before, but he knows he's hardly in a position to protest the treatment. After his spirit disappears, Tousen immediately tries to get up. He could feel his stopped blood; he could try to return to the battlefield, trusting that his own regenerative powers would recover adequately while he traveled. There was hypothetically still time.]

Didn't you hear him?

[she gently puts her hands on his shoulders - gentle, yes, but firm and strong.] You're in no shape to move, yet... just wait a bit. Some of the people here can use unusual abilities, and... he's probably going to fetch someone that can help. So sit still, okay?

[ and literally in a few moments, he's appearing once again. and so is Fawkes, in a burst of flame a couple metres above them. he swoops down to Albus' outstretched arm. Albus hurries back over, putting a gentle hand on the man's shoulder ]

Please, lie back down. You'll be fine in a minute.

... I cannot afford to loiter around to satisfy your petty concerns.

[... Two souls return this time, one smaller and sounding like a bird.] ... What is that?

You're... trapped here, sir. In the castle... You can't go back to wherever you were before, so just rest and let him do his job, okay?

[ nodding ]

She is right. I promise to explain in greater detail in a few moments, but for now, please...

[ Fawkes flutters down to the bed and lands next to Tousen's head. he can't cry on yo neck properly if you don't lie back, mang :| ]

This is Fawkes. He is here to help.

[He can hear the... bird, apparently, touch down next to him. As he finally lays back, he sincerely begins to wonder if this is hell.]

... Do not assume this means I am within your debts.

Don't bend over backwards in gratitude or anything...

[not that she expected any, but 8|]

Is he going to be alright?

I wouldn't dream of it.

[ GOOD SHINIGAMI; Fawkes rests his warm head over the wound, and starts to cry, letting his tears fall onto the flesh. you'll be feeling dandy in a moment, blindy-chan. crisis averted, Albus turns to the blonde woman properly for the first time, and smiles a little ]

As right as rain, miss.

[... Curious. He feels his blood starting to flow more strongly through his veins, his reiatsu increasing, his hollow powers-

He swiftly binds up his own body, regenerative processes sewing his skin together until he can rise from the cot and

-He's behind Albus now, mind grasping for Suzumushi.] Explain where this Paradisa is, and how I was sent here.

[she was about to open her mouth to reply to Albus - introductions, maybe, of some sort - when the man who'd been near death moments prior was abruptly on his feet and behind the wizard.

and she couldn't help but get the feeling that he wasn't there to give him a friendly hug of gratitude.]

What are you doing? Sit down... we'll calmly explain, s-sir...

[ pfffft, how nice. after a brief pause, he turns calmly to face him. fawkes lets out a long, low note :| ]

Paradisa is within another world, and you were transported here by its magic. The lady is right; you needn't be uncomfortable by standing while we explain.

[... even if his superficial wounds had healed, he was still weak from his Resurreccion a scant few hours ago. Ridiculous. Was he really this weak?

... Summoning up the dregs of his pride, he shifts his attention, searching for anyone else hidden in the room, before asking, shortly:] Is there a chair in this room?

[she looks between the two of them, giving Albus a questioning look, as if wondering if all of this was really okay before moving the chair she'd been sitting on towards Tousen]

H-here.

[He had felt that familiar reiatsu as soon as it arrived, it seemed weak and wounded. Interesting. Letting someone else find Tousen and tend to him, he casually meandered in the direction of the clinic, popping into the middle of this party with a wide smile and a deceptively welcoming wave.]

Hola, Tousen-han.

[ he doesn't think it's okay for the man to be sitting, either, but he knows how prideful people can get. before he can address the blonde or the injured man, a wild... someone appears. he glances between him and Tousen, and smiles a bit ]

Hello. I suppose you know each other?

[It seemed as though there was someone there, some reiatsu that seemed familiar, but Tousen had been far too preoccupied with his regained blindness and the two souls that wandered around him, fretting like overzealous chickens, that he didn't even sense Gin coming through the door. Still seated, he turns his head in Gin's direction and nods. Flatly:] Ichimaru. Considering the circumstances, I'm afraid I'll have to cut my overjoyed greeting short. Where is Aizen? Tell me that these fools are mistaken about this world.

[takes a small step back at the abrupt arrival of --

well. this... distinctly creepy-looking man. his voice was a little familiar... maybe from the journal?]

'Fraid they're probably telling th'truth. Aizen-taichou ain't here, an' there doesn't seem t'be a way home.

[Sounds distinctly unbothered by this.]

[ glances between them once more, but remains silent, waiting to see what will be Tousen's reply ]

... How did we get here?

[a-awkward... she wonders if she should leave...]

[Perches on the edge of the bed, utterly at ease.]

No idea.

The direct means by which we were brought here is unknown, but it was most likely magical, as are many things about this place. You will soon begin to find out more about it.

[ isn't awkward, just getting vague creepster vibes. but he smiles quickly in Seras direction anyway ]

[... digesting this is getting very difficult. He doesn't know these two and wouldn't trust Gin as far as he could - oh wait, he could probably throw him pretty far, never mind.] Did any of the others follow us?
