_{[When the feed flickers on, it's first displaying a somewhat unsteady view of Heather's back. Occasionally it swivels back and forth shakily-- showing a blurry view of what looked like a lot of cracked eggshells. There were a few towels lying crumpled on the floor, as well. Her voice, muffled and slightly blotted out by the constant clicking and rattling noises resulting from the Totodile claws that are grappling to keep hold on the camera.]}

--thought you weren't gonna make it before the first day've the New Year was over. Guess you like cuttin' it close to the wire, huh little guy?

_{[There's something small but fuzzy and ragged-looking draped over her shoulder, jostling slightly as she rubs it down with a towel.]

[It's white, mostly-- with spiky, damp hair and something indistinct sticking out of its head-- something black and sickle-like. A reaper-y blade.]}

Guess it's appropriate, though.

_{[She sits back and the camera's view scurries forward a little bit, swiveling upwards insistently. Catching sight of it (and its carrier-- guess who) out of the corner of her eye, Heather turns with a quirked brow.]}

Wh-- Zilla, put that thing down, you're gonna break it.

_{[She uses one hand to better support the fuzzy white thing cradled against her shoulder and makes a sort of halfhearted grab for Godzilla and the 'Gear with the other-- he dances out of reach, but she does hit a button and the Pokedex function comes online.]}

ABSOL, the DISASTER POKEMON. It has the ability to predict disasters and impending danger. Its tendency to only appear before humans prior to disasters has earned it a reputation as an evil omen and often caused it to become a target, leading to the species becoming even more shy and reclusive.

... Predicting disasters, huh.

Guess I'm safe, then. _{Mine's already happened.}

I know just what I'm gonna call you.

_{[Curious about the newest addition to their little motley crew, Godzilla inches forward with the camera once again, zooming in on the little creature's face. As the view gets clearer, a single red eye-- the one not obscured by a limp mop of white fur-- drifts open.]}

How do you feel about 'Alessa'?

[ooc: TAGS WILL COME TOMORROW-- I just realized I'm running a fever and shit's starting to move that really shouldn't. SORRY ILU GUYS. I'll-- .. um, I'll be back later. 8(;]

After-- oh.

_{[The grin fades, replaced by a half-weirded-out, half-interested look.]}

Another dead person, huh.

_{[She's seen plenty of people who were technically dead, but younger-- but only a few who actually WERE dead and knew about it. The only other one she can think of is that Raven guy.]}

{She sees that expression change, and sighs. She's seen that look a few times now.} Well, yes. I'm one hundred and thirty-six years dead. Alive. Some days, even I'm not sure.

Anyway, I was what you'd call a Soul Reaper. ...it's a complicated thing to explain, but if you want, I'll explain it to you.

Hn... why not, I got the time.

_{[Frankly, as long as dead people weren't being all rotten and corpsified and zombied and stuff, Heather was actually pretty chill with them.]}

Well. {Teacher mode a go go}

I am - or should I say was - the Vice Captain of the Eighth Division of the Gotei Thirteen. The Gotei Thirteen is an organisation which is based in the afterlife, and is tasked with keeping the flow of souls between all three worlds balanced.

We all bear swords, and can control spiritual energy to create attacks.

...some of us, however, were more skilled with the manipulation of said energy than others.

Uh... huh.

... Sounds pretty different from how things work in my world.

I expected that reaction, somehow. Knowing that there's a trans-dimensional military organisation based in the afterlife would give quite a few people pause for thought, I would say.

Well, the afterlife works pretty different where I'm from, from what I know.

...then I suppose there are parallel universes after all. I had not thought it so, but...

Where exactly are you from, Heather-san?

Earth. America. Maine.

... Any of those sound familiar?

Terribly. I went to Maine once. Wasn't too bad, apart from the huge Hollow creating quite a mess.

_{[Her brows perk up in interest.]}

Really!

Whereabouts in Maine were you?

Ahh... Yes. It was Auburn. {She giggles} Auburn in the Autumn.

There was a Hollow on the rampage; and as it was threatening living Souls, we had to destroy it.

Auburn... don't think I've ever been that way.

What's a Hollow, exactly?
