Uh, is it just me, or has the Hollow activity around here been kinda . . . off lately? I mean, not having so many around is great and all, but it's a pretty sudden thing. And some of the ones that are around feel pretty scary!

Yeah. Think it started about a week ago.

... Okay. Scary how?

[lion_plushie]

And I'm just noticing now?!

Just . . . really, really powerful! My Hollow sensing is kinda hit-or-miss lately, but these ones are pretty clear. And . . . they might be Arrancar! That's kinda what it feels like!

There've been reports saying pretty much the same--less Hollows, but weird, powerful Hollows--in the last week, but you didn't hear this from me.

... I'm not sure what they've been categorised as. Never seen one myself so far. Should I drop by?

What happened to your reiatsu sense? Isn't that... internal or something?

[Private//Bananaphone]

[lion_plushie]

You guys don't know what they are? Either they really are something brand new, or you're just not paying attention! If you think you can do something about them, then get out here!

My reiatsu sense? Well, yeah, that's internal . . . I kinda ended up damaged a little while ago. But that's related to something I can't talk about!

[asano_san]

...How scary?

[lion_plushie]

Scary like if I didn't have to be within a hundred miles of them, I wouldn't! Can't you tell they're here?!

[asano_san]

I can tell there are Hollows, but they all feel freaky to me! How was I supposed to know these were super-ultra-scary ones!?

[lion_plushie]

So, what? You can't sense how much stronger these ones are than the other ones you've sensed? How does that work?!

You know, I hardly think chastising me is the way to go about asking for my help, Kon-san. Surely you don't feel I damaged you on purpose...? You're a bit of a special case as far as the mod souls go--I've never removed the serial number before, so I certainly couldn't foresee all possible repercussions.

However if you'd like me to take a look at you, I'd be happy to.

As soon as you ask nicely instead.

[lion_plushie]

Well of course I don't think you did it on purpose. It's just . . . Look, aren't I allowed to be frustrated?

Fine.

Could you please try and fix this before I inadvertently run into a Hollow and get myself killed? That better?

[Private]

[shady_shopkeep]

Well certainly you're allowed your frustration, but there's no need to take it out on me.

Yes, yes, that's just fine. Next time you come back to the shop I'll see what I can do--can't have you getting mauled, now; that just wouldn't do at all.

Hm. I will look into it.
