"-To Aizen. Let's go."

[And so, in a single movement- the exact moment where his head snapped up as he rose from his very personal concrete slab (he had etched his name in and everything)- Shinji Hirako found himself away from the moldy old warehouse and in the middle of a ruined city-street that looked like Hell warmed up, then forgotten and left to rot, then warmed up and eaten by that one guy you know that never listens to any warnings and at last, unceremoniously vomited up in a dark corner of the apartment where nobody ever bothers to clean until it is too late.

Amber eyes fluttered left and right as his whole body went rigid and in a flash too fast for the normal human eye to spot, a sword was drawn and held as if its wielder expected an attack from any angle and any second. He seemed to be searching for something, or rather someone, and when they found nothing but unfamiliar ground he decided to turn on his supernatural senses. A rather poor idea in retrospect- the sudden rush of energies, some all too familiar and most of them very very new threatened to overwhelm him then and there, his eyes shifting quicker and quicker as he turns around and round trying desperately to make the slightest bit of sense out of the situation...

Until light reflected off the device caught his eye, making him turn towards the camera. In a flash he was suddenly so close that you could only see his feet, and then the image becomes a blur as he apparently kicked the device up into his hands and allowed all of Adstringendum take in his... description-defying features. Teeth that looked more like a roller-coaster curving up and down than a straight line, sharp upturned nose, eyes that were impossible to tell if they're being cold and analytical or the definition of dopey and dim, and last but not least: a hairstyle that... no. No, there's really no polite way to describe pageboy on a man.]

"Don' recall any a' us applyin' fer a spot on Nuclear Holocaust Survivor... so where oh where could I be..."

[Welcome him, Adstringendum. Welcome your latest, and possibly strangest, new arrival.]

YA TOOK YER GODDAMN TIME, JACKASS!

[See? Really.]

[Alas, familiarity at last! What sweet sirens tones reach his ear, and carress them with all the subtle grace of a ten ton wrecking ball directly to the forehead? It is the device, and Hiyori's is the voice it carries through the ether!

Now, hearing Hiyori- common. Hearing Hiyori over a weird-ass device in the middle of a freaky burnt out ghost town filled with who knows WHAT other lifeforms? Yeah that's still freaky and very disorienting. So when Shinji recovers from this unwelcome surprise he's just going to look into the PCD and keep on looking doofusneaky.]

... Well hell- that genie only fulfilled one a' my wishes- can't see her, but I sure can still hear 'er!

...Genie. Riiight.

[Eyetwitch.]

So ya found a bloody genie an' made a wish, did'ja?

[Video]

[fuckyobancouch.livejournal.com]

Well I'm thinkin' I must've, 'cause outside a' pure damn magical 'nterference I got no explanations fer... this.

[He pans the camera around his current surroundings, rubble and dilapidated buildings. He seems to be on the outskirts of the safe-zone, judging from how he's the only one out there.]

[The Wall. Got it. Don't mind Hiyori's own surroundings blurring a bit - she's trying to trace out his reiatsu. Screw the co-ordinates!]

If it was jus' a genie, then that'd be almost nice compared ta th' idiots who actually did this. Or accordin' ta half th' people here, anyway.

[Video]

[fuckyobancouch.livejournal.com]

[It is a bit complicated to do so- after the initial burst of his reiatsu flared into being, Shinji put the lid on post-haste. No sense in letting every potential hostile in this world sniff him out that quickly.]

Somethin' tells me there's a whole lotta-
"Hirako-taichou!"
[And just like that, Shinji freezes and quickly turns around... the PCD turning with him, revealing none other standing before him than Aizen Sousuke... having not aged a day from when last Shinji saw him.]

[Video]

[thesnaggletooth.livejournal.com]

[That reason was why she'd stopped and been about to ask for the shiny little button to be pressed - but then the outburst happened and Hiyori found a rather stupid role-reversal.]

...Was 'bout ta mention him. Time's fucked here.

There's a button on yer PCD - th' device. Hit it.

[Hey, if he got to point his sword at Aizen and he'd just shown up, like hell Hiyori would miss it.]

[Video]

[fuckyobancouch.livejournal.com]

[Without thinking, Shinji pushes the button- but when his mind catches up to him he wonders what good that will do, why he should let her anywhere near this battle- wait, how long HAS she been here? Have they already fought? Have they- no. No, too many questions won't help. He'll simply tell her this- his one (hopefully not final) order.]

Keep it together, Hiyori.

[Video]

[thesnaggletooth.livejournal.com]

Still alive, ain't I?

[She'd been too busy trying to find a decent place to live temporarily stay in to start fights. Something that probably saved her ass a few times.

But she at least aknowledged the order, though she's still heading in his direction. Devil's in the details, dude.]

Should be thinkin' 'bout yerself first!

[He hesitates a good long while before he finally responds. One part of him wants to cut this conversation short right now, but another part of him is grasping for anything he can use to narrow down the possibilities of just WHAT is going on here, anything he can use to tell himself that this is something he can plan for and actually FATHOM. And so...]

Hiyori. Outta curiosity... at least tell me ya brought my Miles Davis records here. 'Cause I'ma need me some bebop'f I'm gon' get through this with my sanity 'ntacht...

[... He enacted the old 'say something that only the REAL Hiyori would know was wrong'. After all, despite the fact the girl had little love for his musical tastes, he had played and nagged and whined to her about his own music long enough for her to pick up a thing or two... such as the fact that he lost ALL his Davis-records in one of their many moves, and that he had never had the heart to buy any new ones. If she picked up on that, and commented on it... well, at least he would know that SHE was real.]

[Video]

[thesnaggletooth.livejournal.com]

[That's why he's the boss, after all. Hiyori's way of checking pretty much boiled down to 'if he acts normal after I punt him into a wall, s'all good'

This was easier though.]

Oops, guess I forgot.

[Toying with the idea of playing dumb, but that'd just be mean.]

Yer jus' gonna hafta cope, like ya did fer th' last.. oh... half-century? Never saw how ya liked that crap anyway.

[Well... spit in his hair and call him Suzy. She was real. She was actually, factually Hiyori Sarugaki, and this... this was happening. This insanity was actually happening. Aizen Sousuke was younger. They were all trapped in some godforsaken sinkhole-world, and Aizen Sousuke was younger. There is a long, LONG silence now, before he finally speaks his last command over the PCD.]

Let me handle the talk.

[And with that, he experiments with a few of the PCD's buttons, before he finally finds the one that lets him turn it off.]

[[OOC: Sorry that I disappeared, Internet went down over here! Also, do you want to tag into Aizen and Shinjis thread?]]

[Video]

[thesnaggletooth.livejournal.com]

...Gotcha.

[She'll just go back to the map now, and work out how to actually get there.]

((OOC: S'all good. If you guys wouldn't mind, I'd be glad to throw Hiyori in~]

[[OOC: just hop on over to the Aizen-thread, we're going at it Shinji-Hiyori-Aizen!]]
