[Frank]

(Private thread between Frank and Keruliion)

Shopping was one of the few chores he had that he didn't mind. It was a more relaxing experience, opening up a chance for him to explore his mind and ponder. Recently, though, his mind was occupied with only one thought; the Shinigami and Hollow. He knew so very little and it irked him, curiosity dominant in his mind.

“Alright, so we need… a bag of shredded cheese, some milk which I’ll save for last…” Frank muttered to himself as he walked about, looking at the various offerings of the small market he purchased the family groceries at. Smiling, Frank continued to walk about, gathering the items written on the list, and preceded to the counter.

The price kept adding up, but in the end it wasn’t too bad. Frank paid the cashier and picked up his groceries, only about three bags worth.

“Alright, I need to get this milk home fast.”

[Kaitos (Keruliion)]

Whats this? A shop by the looks of it. Ali's grasp of Japanese was still pretty hazy at the moment but he just about managed to make out what this place was. A curious look would scrawl across his face as he stared within the windows of the treasure trove revealing its commodities some rare some not so rare. His eyes would glare through the glass for a moment. Suddenly a thing would catch his eye. Drawing it towards him Ali would start to move through the door. As he moved through the door he would accidently knock another to the ground.

His three bags of shopping sprawling on the ground. If he where to land on the floor Ali would stare at him for a moment. Those that fall tend to be weak and Ali at the moment had only apathy and trying to apologize to Dream. He had most of his humanity stolen but not all of it.

[Frank]

Frank stepped back, dropping his bags, but didn't fall. He looked at the dropped produce, and luckily very little had spilled. He rushed to put it all back in the bags and stood upright, looking at the person he had bumped into.

"Pardon me. Wasn't really paying attention. Are you alright?" He asked. Frank was only an inch shorter, but was about two years older. He didn't much bother to worry about it, though. His smile was genuine and friendly, and he didn't seem too shaken up by the event.

[Kaitos (Keruliion)]

Ali stared apathetically at the boy in front of him. His eyes slightly narrowed as he stared at him and then in his still fairly thick russian accent. "Watch where you go child" He would say. He may still be a child himself but he didn't look it and quite frankly he isn't going to allow someone who physically speaking is much weaker than him get in his way. He would then look at him. "I have question for you, urm how do I use this place?" It may have seemed like a stupid question and if of course frank where to laugh at him Ali would promptly utilize the metallic appendage that he had.

He didn't know what a shop was really because he had never used one, in russia he stole things and when he was with the WITA he would be given everything they deemed necessary and as such he never really had experience in this department. Ali would stare at the child in front of him and making sure that if he is going to try anything his sword would swiftly flat side down drop on the child's head.

[Frank]

Frank's immediate reaction to his words was a somewhat annoyed response. "Well I could tell you, but I'd rather not help a full grown man with a supermarket. And it's not necessary to act so rude." Frank said, giving a small bow and walking past. Frank put his hand in his pocket and pulled out his MP3 player, pressing a few buttons before settling on a hardstyle song, Tricky Disco. He didn't pull the headset over his ears, but instead just raised the volume to a level where he could hear the music. His headset could go to a really high volume, which he liked.

Frank didn't know how he'd react, but he hoped he wouldn't get violent about it. Frank just needed to get the groceries home, and the man's rude behavior certainly didn't want to make him let the milk get cold for the sake of explaining such a simple thing as a supermarket.

[Kaitos (Keruliion)]

Ali would look at the young boy and grit his teeth as he walked off. Then fairly quickly his arm slammed down on the young boys shoulder the heavy metallic appendage weighing him down as it did and then he gripped. His arm would grip with a little of his strength. Remember now Ali being a weapon master meant that he was stronger than the average person and also had pretty good reactions to counter this kid. A crack would be heard from his neck as he would raise his human arm and place it on the hilt of his sword.

"Being rude to someone stronger than you boy is not the best of idea's believe me when I say this" The sound of squeezing leather could be heard as Ali started to grip the sword's leather bound hilt tighter and his eyes staring at the boy no longer covered in apathy but now drenched in anger for the young boy being rude to him. He didn't like rudeness from the weak at the best of times. "Tell....me.....how.....this.......works" gritting his teeth and his eyes obviously ready to kill.

[Frank]

Frank’s arm was clasped in the mechanical arm, but Frank’s reaction wasn’t violent. “Help! This guy’s attacking me!”

A few pedestrians nearby looked over and backed away, hiding their children and keeping a safe distance. Also within the area was a police officer who turned to notice the seemingly older man grabbing the shoulder of a younger high school student and placing his hand on a sword. Putting his hand near his gun holster, the police officer moved over. “Sir, please release him now.”

Frank wasn’t the type to care if his tactics were wimpy; if they worked they worked. Frank began pulling on his arm, attempting to get out of the grip. “Let go!”

I really must be the easiest hollow in existence to make curious. Certainly this was not a common sight though! A human was here, well actually two but this human had a metal arm! There was another one nearby but he seems just an ordinary human and I was not concerned about his outlook. I was however curious about the one with a metal arm! What science has been done to him to grant him such a marvel as that? I wonder if he may share the information with me? Luckily I was not noticed which was a good thing and I was hoping I could get close enough to engage this human in conversation. There was a chance that he would not see me but I sense a strong reiatsu coming from him and I will see what he has to talk about.

With my cat like grace I would make my way above them as there was a nearby building that would be perfect for climbing upon. Soon I would find myself about 7 feet off the ground but my small size didn't grant me that much of height advantage. As long as they didn't notice me I would crouch down and move around until I was right over them. Then I would silently lay down with my small head leaning over the side and say "Well well well, are you not an interesting sight my dear?" I would be looking at the man with the metal arm and I would be careful to not be too threatening. Hopefully my lax pose of laying down would not cause either human too much stress. Even if they have seen hollows before my black mask was sure to give them pause as it was so unique. All the same I was ready to react if they took offense to my presence and I had an escape rout already planned out so I was not that worried.

[Kaitos (Keruliion)]

(I apologise for my lack of posting. I've recently been going through University or College applications and I have requests for creative writing samples and its not little five paragraph or one page stories its big ones and I unfortunately do not really have anything presentable to give them so its been a tad difficult to get done)

Ali would look at Frank and see he had a look of recognition about the beast that was behind him. He would sigh for a moment as he started to think about what to do next. Clearly the creature behind him was a hollow judging by the voice though he could be wrong. He clicked one of his hands and glanced over his shoulder letting go of Frank. "Is it because of the mechanical arm?" He said and then he made eye contact with the creature and could tell that she definitely wasn't human or shinigami. He could see a black mask and the creature itself was over all cat like but bigger.

You could feel a slight swell of reiatsu as Ali kept eye contact and out of nowhere his back started to bleed the police in the area looking puzzled. "Or is it these?" As he finished his sentence his wings burst forth and he kept a good eye on her. One of his feathers, landing most likely unknowingly by Frank's feet and another one floating gently towards the creature. Of course she would have no clue, neither of them would at exactly what Ali's wings can do. Though they will get to know soon enough should the answer to the following question not be the right one. "Is it dinner time for you then?" He muttered his eyes looking up and a small fleck of flame could be seen in them. "If so I'm really not in the mood to be eaten as I have unfinished business to attend to" His eyes that started to flame fixating on the creature.

[Frank]

Frank looked at the hollow, but didn't say anything at first. His reaction was to back away a bit, not wanting any confrontation at the moment. He needed to get home to his uncle. He should already be home at this point, and he knew he'd have to fabricate a story to explain why he was home late. He didn't want that story to have to explain scars and bruises, or worse.

Frank grabbed his bags tight and jumped back about ten feet, keeping himself as calm as he could considering the situation. Looking about, he attempted to map an escape plan, considering all sorts of possibilities like just blindly running home, using distractions, and other such things, but in the end he decided to stick around for a few more minutes before heading out. No matter how much he wanted to get the food home, he knew that things would probably get much worse if nobody around was willing to save the pedestrians, which Frank doubted the Russian man would.

[Kegilaa]

I would watch as this human would display mutation like properties similar to Dream's. His body would show obvious signs of damage as a pair of wings sprouted from his back. It seemed interesting to me but a couple feathers would apparently be lost in the process. I would send one of my tentacles out to grip the feather that would fall in front of me and I would inspect it closely. TO all appearances it would seemed to be nothing more then an ordinary feather. I would then nonchalantly and without interest say "Meh, I am not hungry. Nor do I eat humans at this time. I currently have a deal going that forbids me from eating you. So, I am not here to eat. Actually I am here to observe instead. I must say your wings are quite fascinating. It is similar to another human that can mutate her legs. Although in particular I am most fascinated with your technological arm."

I would then go back to examining his feather until I eventually grew bored with it and dropped it off the little rise I was on. "You have pretty wings by the way." I wasn't lying this time they were nice wings and unique too, although the real reason for this bit of flattery was for reducing his tension even more. It would seem that these two were in the middle of some sort of altercation when I first arrived and I am hopeful that I can ease the situation a bit so as to learn more. "I am Kegilaa, as you can see I am a very small hollow and I am not likely to be much of a threat to you. Could I ask for your names?"

[Kaitos (Keruliion)]

"Size is not indicative of ones power" Ali retorted to the hollow. Even if she was small she may have the power to destroy the whole town. Though she probably would not. He gauged her a little more. Her reiatsu was different to the majority of Hollow, It seemed to be a little more controlled and not just that it had a.... purity to it. It seemed that she was an above average specimen and something that the WITA would very much like to get their hands on if they even knew she existed. Not only that her black mask, that was the concerning thing. Hollows had white masks that much was evident so why does she have a black mask. It makes no sense. This creature is definitely not your average hollow.

"A black mask, Reiatsu thats not corrupted, control over your hunger. Your not your average hollow now are you?" He would mutter, smiling having noticed a creature behind this curious hollow. It was another hollow but one of the mindless brutes that Ali was used to seeing. The crowd would stare on as they could see see the creature barging past wires and lampposts causing a small degree of damage but nothing huge. "Unlike that" he would point. Clicking his fingers, a small barrier would appear around both Frank and Kegilaa. Ali withdrawing his pistol and aiming it at the hollow. His mechanical wing would glow.

It would glow only for a second before the reiatsu poured into his gun and it fired. Causing the hollow that it was hitting to break apart. It disintegrated into ash that in turn disintegrated into nothingness. "Your race is incredibly inconvenient when you hide your reiatsu." With another snap of his fingers the bubbles he had created would break apart as balloons do with a small pop and the shreds would drop to the floor.

[Frank]

Frank's expression relaxed a little, but he still kept himself at the ready as he approached the others, the police officer distracted by the larger hollow dying. Frank approached Ali and the small black-masked hollow.

"So you're not like the other hollows, I see." He said, which at this point was obvious by the fact that she hadn't attempted to slaughter anybody yet.

Scratching the back of his head, Frank turned to Ali. "You want to know how to use a supermarket, you said? Mind if I ask why you don't already know how to use one?" He asked. Frank was now a little more willing to accept his request since he wanted to settle the matter more peacefully. He would rather come home late without any scars and wounds.

(Sorry if my post is a little crappy; I'm doing it quick before a doctor's appointment just so I don't take too long)

[Kegilaa]

A Hollow would appear thought he building I was next to apparently it had some ability to phase through objects. However this was a problem for me as I was so close and although I was busy talking to this human he would suddenly pull a gun and point it at the Hollow and attempt to shoot it. I would attempt to dodge the hollow that was obviously attempting to eat me hissing at it as I tried to back away from it, however as I went to do so I would end up hitting my head on some sort of bubble that I seemed to find myself in. This was curious, however it was also quite problematic if that hollow could phase through buildings what was to stop it from going through this bubble? Just when I thought I might of bit the dust I would hear a shot from the human's gun and I would notice that he had just channeled some power into it. The hollow was hit but it didn't take too much damage and it merely retreated by phasing through the building I was perched on. My escape rout was compromised with that thing around as I was planning to make a hasty escape through a vent but I didn't want to be eaten so I was now forced to calm this human. Lucky for me he did not seem intent on attacking me.... yet.

I would nod my head as he would release me from the bubble he apparently created and I then noticed that he created the bubbles with his feathers. The sudden realization that he could of trapped me in the bubble at any time showed me he was not stupid and that he was prepared if I showed hostile intent. "It seems I own you a debt of gratitude for saving me, Thank you Human. Pity you didn't kill him. He will be back, might I suggest we walk away from here as that hollow rethinks its strategy?" Now released from the bubble I would jump down from my perch and I would amble my way around the two humans. I was keeping my distance though encase either of them changed their minds and attacked me though. I would start a slow spiraling walk around them as I continued to talk. "I must say humans nowadays are far more fascinating then I ever remembered. Science and magic all in one... although there is something unique about you. Actually there seems to be a lot of unique humans around this town. I wonder, do you know any others like yourself?"

[Kaitos (Keruliion)]

Unique, Hah I'm as unique as they come. Most advents there ability is like a rub off of the one that awakened them spiritually like if a fire wielding hollow awakened a human they would be fire based or something like that. I was actually born with this curse. Thats what Ali's thought process would be. "Most advents gain there power, I was born with it" He muttered. He didn't like his curse and he would make that clear to people merely by the look on his face and the tone of his voice when he mentioned it.

"Your right, Lets get moving before that govnok tries to get supper again" Ali would say, He would then pick up the cat, and grip Frank. "One use is this I suppose" His wings would let out a large drawn out motion and then launch the trio into the air. Most creatures spiritually speaking would not be able to fly themselves and two others but for Ali because of his training with the WITA and his strength being increased naturally by the use of his mechanical prosthetic. If someone where to actually be hit by it. The weight of the thing would make it pretty damn powerful. Problem was he was a tad slow with this.

He would fly through Karakura town and then glance over to Frank. "Where do you live?"

[Frank]

Frank shook his head at the thought of the hollow getting away. He didn't think it should be allowed to leave, but he couldn't do much about it. But he didn't have much time to think when Ali grabbed him and flew high into the air. Simply due to his current situation, he didn't attempt to escape, and instead accepted it. He wasn't expecting Ali's question, though.

"I love over there, near the park." He said, pointing to a small park below. "Flight is a nice power, though I'd think it'd be for a more optimistic person. Can't be one to judge, though."

Frank was holding tightly to his grocery bags, the milk still cold enough to survive until he got home. His dad would be somewhat worrisome, but Frank knew he wouldn't be scared to death. Frank would get home, explain himself, and maybe invite Ali in for dinner if he was willing to accept.

[Kegilaa]

It happened so sudden I wasn't quite prepared for it but it would seem that the human with the wings was determined to fly us out of here. The problem was I wasn't ready to fly, as a matter of fact I could not yet fly! As he picked me up and we left the ground in a sudden flash I would use my tentacles to wrap around him to make sure I didn't fall off and then myself and the other human were lifted off the ground. Eventually the human with wings would ask that human where his home was and I was in no mood to disagree with landing as soon as possible. It is one thing to be this high if one can fly, it is another thing altogether if one cannot fly.

I would continue to hang on as the human would fly, but then something would strike my mind... I was feeling fear again! What was this! I have not felt fear in centuries! That was a part of my human self from so long ago that I cannot even remember it. However, I knew I was feeling something akin to fear and my body remembered it somehow. What changes have been done to me to feel such a thing at this time! I must find out what has changed me but I seem to lack anyway to find out at this time. I need more power though before I try to infiltrate the Shinigami's library. I would have to cope with my new found feeling for now though and see what comes of it. For now I will allow myself to be taken away by this human to whatever destination he deems fit.
