[There's a somewhat baffled look on John's face as he holds up an orange-ish disc emblazoned with a small 35 in front of the pokégear. On his shoulder, sits his loyal Dunsparce, Sassacre, staring at the small communication device with a blank a look as ever on his face.]

So I bought a few TMs and uh... [He pauses to give the disc a very pointed look.] Okay, basically how in the hell do these things work? Are they supposed to like...eat it or something? Because I'm not seeing any other way to insert a disc into a living thing.

[Somebody forgot to ask about it before he left the department store. Oops. He makes to turn the pokégear off, but stops, suddenly remembering something.]

Oh and...this might be old news, but Aradia has gone back home. I found her Kabutops in my box when we got back to Goldenrod.

are you ready for that second date?
or, well, for me to tell you what it is, at least?

Not that I can think of, no. A friend of mine suggested the PC in the pokécenter, but I'm not so sure about that option either. I might go check that out later if nobody else knows the answer. If the answer is the pokégear, though then they must really want you to have a tough time using it. I don't see a disc slot anywhere on this thing.

...Possibly taking it back to the store and asking for a manual is wise. You don't want to break it.

[Sigh.]

Yeah...I just thought it might be faster to ask the network than to walk all the way back over there. [Have you been outside today Byakuya? It's gotta be at least 85 degrees out there. Johto summers do not agree with this Washingtonian.] Bluh...that's probably what I will have to end up doing though, with my luck.

Anyway, I don't think we have ever spoken before. My name is John, what's yours?

[ What is weather what is feelings, Byakuya has no care for anything!! He closes his eyes and shakes his head slightly. ]

I agree. Even if it was also a waste of time. You can call me Captain Kuchiki.

Captain, huh? Captain of what?

[identity profile] emptycicada.livejournal.com 2011-08-20 11:41 am (UTC)(link)
[ oh yeah

it's weird not having people automatically realize what that meant!! ]


A division in the Soul Society.

[Well get ready, because he doesn't recognize "Soul Society" either. And he's a bit of a paranormal enthusiast.]

Soul Society being...what, exactly?

[identity profile] emptycicada.livejournal.com 2011-08-23 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
To you it would be the afterlife.

[identity profile] usedwindything.livejournal.com 2011-08-23 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. Wait, so does that mean that you're like a ghost then or something?

[identity profile] emptycicada.livejournal.com 2011-08-23 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
A shinigami. What you call ghosts are what we take care of.

[identity profile] usedwindything.livejournal.com 2011-08-23 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh wait! He knows that word! Bakura taught it to him!]

A death god, you mean? Like a Grim Reaper?

[Excitement levels rising...]

[identity profile] emptycicada.livejournal.com 2011-08-23 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
Those are names for us, yes.

[identity profile] usedwindything.livejournal.com 2011-08-23 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
So do you know Rangiku then?

[identity profile] emptycicada.livejournal.com 2011-08-25 06:58 am (UTC)(link)
She is a lieutenant of one of my fellow captains.

[identity profile] usedwindything.livejournal.com 2011-08-26 09:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Wow. So there's a whole organization of Shinigami then? And does that mean you have a magic sword too?

[He's just...going to keep bombarding you with questions Byakuya, sorry.]

[identity profile] emptycicada.livejournal.com 2011-08-27 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
[ ...Little human, you are acceptable as long as you refer to him as Captain!! ]

Correct. The thirteen captains are in charge of keeping souls safe. And you are also correct - but my sword is not magic.

Thirteen, huh? Well...I guess that makes sense. Since there are a lot of living people. I guess it would take more than one Grim Reaper to keep things running smoothly. But if your sword isn't magic, then what is it? It didn't sound like any sort of sword I have ever heard of before.

[This coming from the kid whose best friend has a time traveling sword.]

[identity profile] emptycicada.livejournal.com 2011-08-29 10:36 am (UTC)(link)
The thirteen of us have our own divisions with hundreds of lesser ranked shinigami.

...A zanpaktou isn't magic. It's essentially a connection to your soul. It is close to a living thing.
