[The video starts with Kurotsuchi facing a wall, drawing a circle with the fingers of one hand. The area glows, and he mutters something under his breath. Only the last part is audible.]

-arrive with the wind and depart with the rain. Bakudou fifty-eight, Kakushitsuijaku.

[There's a steady flashing of light from the circle- symbols, numbers ( Read more... )

[When the PCD is switched on, the voice from it is sharp, the words are brief. As though it's a struggle to force out even that much control.]

You all know what this place does. It's an event, nothing else.

Pointless. When you know it's an event, the effect-

[Silence, apart from the sound of breathing. When he finally continues, it's terse, each word bitten off.]

-the effect is nothing. None of it means anything.

[Silence. A small hiss, as the feed is abruptly cut.]

[There's a sound not unlike hail battering a roof. Except worse. Kurotsuchi's voice is a low mutter, but still audible; probably speaking directly to the PCD.]

Apples. Trees don't even have that many apples.

[Thump. Thumpthumpthumpcrack.]

Of all the- this is an event?

[Kurotsuchi is seated in front of a rather cracked mirror in what's presumably a room of his. Unlike what's usual, his hair is down and he doesn't have his makeup on- though the containers of black and white are at hand.

Looking hesitant, he reaches towards one- then draws back, shaking his head, commenting quietly to himself.]-isn't it sort of ( Read more... )

[There's papers, ragged-looking books and binders, all over the low table Kurotsuchi is settled at. At least he's not in surgery, and there's nothing dead. Something entirely mundane this time; compiling reports, from the look of it ( Read more... )

[When Kurotsuchi's voice starts, it seems friendly. Which isn't strange in itself- except it sounds genuine, without any bit of teasing or poorly restrained eagerness. Almost like a normal person now!]

Oh... so many new people. You should come here so I can welcome you.

[...Though the sheer benevolence sort of circles around from 'nice' and ends ( Read more... )

[Like everyone else, Kurotsuchi has changed. The white haori doesn't fit very well, and billows around him. A long, sharply-finned fish tail replaces the shinigami's lower body, and it thrashes occasionally to keep him in place in the water ( Read more... )

[There's a Kurotsuchi there. Not in his lab, but probably nearby ( Read more... )

So the products of the event remain.

[Apparently it's not an accidental post this time, as though Kurotsuchi is at work in his lab, he's addressing the PCD directly. And there's a sheep on the operating table. If it weren't for the scraps of multi-colored wool still stuck to its body, it'd look like any normal sheep ( Read more... )
