Seventeenth Wish -- Video (Backdated to shortly after morning sirens.)

[He doesn't necessarily intend to talk to everybody, but he's too tired to make a filter. And he looks it. His face is pale and worn, as though he didn't get much sleep last night, if any at all. He doesn't appear to be physically hurt, at least. Not from the view the NV gives, anyway.]

I'm really sorry if I worried anyone.

Um . . . Miss Nelliel? Could you come bring me home? I wouldn't ask, but I'm pretty tired and don't think flying would be a good idea right now. [He's put his ki up a little above a resting level, to make sure he's easy for her to find; it'll be coming from Sector 6.]

[And was never hurt at all, during all of this.]

What happened?

[He won't address the Nel thing right now. He wants information.]

[That's not what you asked. You asked if he is hurt. Not if he'd been hurt. World of difference, you understand.]

[He ducks his head a little. He won't lie, but he hates saying this.] A bunch of us got taken to the Hunting Grounds to . . . to be "prey."

[Luckily, Gohan doesn't know what Byakuya looks like when he's extremely pissed off. Hitsugaya and Unohana would notice that his reiatsu all but disappears, suddenly. Why? Because he's that pissed. And if he doesn't pull it in, he'll lose control.]

How many and by whom?

[Now, he's taking notes.]

[Video]

[hybrid_prodigy]

[Yeah, he's used to more visible displays of anger, and power flaring out rather than being sucked in.]

Dunno exact numbers. There were at least ten of us, maybe more. Never got a good look at who did it, or the names of any of the people . . . hunting. [Absent-minded rubbing at his throat, here. That had been a pretty scary injury to wake up to.]

[The only outward sign is the chilling of his voice. But that's it. He attempts to gentle it; Gohan is only a child.]

Did anyone die?

[Video]

[hybrid_prodigy]

... One person.

[Video]

[soul_scatter]

Do you know their name?

[Because you can't press murder charges without a name, dammit.]

[Video]

[hybrid_prodigy]

[Shakes his head.] No, sorry.

[And if he had, he wouldn't have said. Because loved ones deserve to find out that information first and he isn't about to go blabbing something like that on the network.]
