Ninteenth Frost | Voice (Forward-dated to Christmas morning)

[icy_heavens]

[Attention, Siren's Port. On this unseasonably warm winter morning, Hitsugaya has a very important announcement to make.]

I hate this city.

[We now return you to your regularly scheduled Christmas cheer.]

Comments

[icy_heavens]

Yes, it was. It wasn't the first time that abilities have been tampered with by this place.

[halfagirl]

That's some bullshit. I don't like being messed with, especially if the asshole who's doing the messing is a whole damn city.

[icy_heavens]

Welcome to the club. [He was in the middle of a damn fight in the Darkness when it happened a couple weeks ago. As you can imagine, that was so helpful.]

[halfagirl]

So who do I have to kill to stop this shit from happening again?

[icy_heavens]

I think if we knew that, they'd have been dead a long time ago.

[halfagirl]

... So the problem is you don't know which asshole to go after.

[icy_heavens]

Or even if it's a person rather than the Core.

[halfagirl]

Then why not just stick a sword in the Core and call it a day?

[icy_heavens]

Because we don't know what other effect it would have. An explosion from is is purported to have wiped out a good share of people around here decades ago, and trapped them here as Darkness creatures.

I don't know about you, but I have a few people here I give a damn about and I'd rather they not die and be subjected to that.

[halfagirl]

[ she automatically thinks of Emil. then shakes her head and huffs in frustration over the NV. ]

So we just have to roll over and put up with it, huh.

[icy_heavens]

[Having people important to you really sucks sometimes, doesn't it?]

Until we can find a viable remedy, that seems to be the case. [Does he sound frustrated too? Because he is. After all the crap he's put up with in this city, it's a hot day in winter that's getting him so pissy.]

[halfagirl]

Yeah.

... I guess the heat is better than messing with powers or explosions, though.

[icy_heavens]

It may be better, but it's still hell. Ironically, if my power were still gone, the heat wouldn't make me so uncomfortable.

[He got cold for the first time in his life when his power left him. It sucked.]

[halfagirl]

Yeah? What's your power, then?

[ actually this heat is pretty gr8 for her considering her outfit, but ignore that 8|b ]

[icy_heavens]

Primarily, it's power over ice. [Not that he doesn't have more than that; it's just the most relevant to the conversation.]

[Well he hasn't been subjected to her outfit because this is voice, so. :D Man, Kaine would make Matsumoto look modest, and that's a feat.]

[halfagirl]

Power over ice? Is that supposed to be some kind of magic?

[ striperiffic is in damnit!! /o/ ]

[icy_heavens]

It can be considered a form of it.

[He doesn't care what's in! Cover up, damn it!]

[halfagirl]

Huh. Imagine that.

And you're human, right?

[icy_heavens]

No. [Not anymore.]

[halfagirl]

... You're not a floating book, are you.

[icy_heavens]

Where the hell did you come up with that? Of course I'm not. I look human. I'm just not.

[halfagirl]

Shut it, the only other asshole I know who could do magic was a book. Is that so surprising?

So what are you?

[icy_heavens]

[Gee, and here they'd been rather agreeable to each other.] It doesn't make sense for a book to use magic. [Because it's a book. Duh.]

Shinigami. A protector of dead souls.

[halfagirl]

It doesn't have to make sense, it just has to happen. And I have no idea what a shini... whatever that is.

[icy_heavens]

[Look, she asked if it was surprising and she got an answer, okay?]

Not many do. I've had to explain it often enough here. Some of us were human once, but the power makes you different.
