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.]

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.

[halfagirl]

I'm curious, so bite me. You used to be human? And you're just... not anymore?

[icy_heavens]

A human who died. So for all intents and purposes a ghost. My spiritual power manifested after that, and I have enough that it changed me.

[halfagirl]

[ Dead! He got farther than you did, huh? ]

... Damn. That sounds like it sucked.

[ to say the least. ]

[icy_heavens]

It is what it is. I don't remember my time as a living person.

[halfagirl]

Really? But you're still the same person!

... Just dead.

[icy_heavens]

I'm the same person, but I have no memory of where I'm from, who my family is, or anything that happened to me. I don't even know how I died.

[halfagirl]

... That sounds like ass.

[ read: man that sucks, sorry. ]

[icy_heavens]

It's long since ceased to bother me. I've had decades to get used to it.

[halfagirl]

No other choice but to deal with it, huh?

[icy_heavens]

It's just how it works. There are a few souls that remember, but that's an extreme minority.

With how early I must have gone, I doubt I'd have a lot of pleasant things to remember anyway.

[halfagirl]

I guess I know the feeling. If looking back isn't worth it, it's better not to think about it.
