MAKE IT STOP!!! {Open/NDE}

[Tamashi Yuki]

Yuki keep looking forward at all times guiding Hoshi towards the location of the Fullbringer, it would seem that they weren't paying attention but that was far from the truth, they hear Hoshi perfectly and were thinking how to explain the situation because while one could say this was some vigilante work it really wasn't for the penguin, it just so happen the Hollow was nearby were they where and decided to chase it. "Truth be told I was not actively searching for Hollows to fight, I just felt this one close and engage as my programming told me to, normally I spend my nights sitting idle in the plush waiting for a Hollow or another menace to show up or the sun to rise and then jump into my Gigai and do my daily routine until night again"

Now about Hoshi's second inquiry it was a bit hard to respond, in one hand yes the fullbringer was acting weird and had a weird feeling about him but on the other that's how most fullbringers feel to Yuki. "If I am truthfhonest I am always on the edge when it comes to Fullbringers, them having a similar signature to those of the Hollows really conflicts with my programming and I have to hold the urge to fight, I do recognize they are humans and not fully hollow but deep whithin I am doing my best to not engage without a really good reason" That explanation should be enough, while Raph was acting weird the Mod Soul did not wanted to act recklessly right now if they can avoid it, same reason they didn't ask for Hoshi to use his power if it meant creating more collateral damage.

Fortunately the Fullbringer seemed to be acting normal now and even apologize for his little stunt, that make Yuki put Raph back on their neutral side and with him not having anymore techiniques active it made the hollow reiatsu of the fullbringer fade making it easier for the Mod Soul to ignore their instinct to fight, there was one thing he said that reminded Yuki of something important. "Now that you mention it, yes, I should fill a report too" They were still new to Uzaki so how things work are still hard to remember to them, usually they just fight the hollow but now there are rules to follow and they'll try to remember and follow them. "My name is Tamashi Yuki, I am a Mod Soul affiliated to Uzaki Enterprise, I believe that is all the important information for an introduction" they finally jump off Hoshi's head and deactivated their power the soot covering them tunring back to it's original state of gas and a small puff of smoke rise from the doll. "I guess I will not be using that anymore so better to not spend any more reiatsu than necesary"

[Hoshi]

Hoshi pondered over Yuki's commentary. Similar to hollows? How though? Fullbringers are just humans with spiritual power. Sure, SOME of them had run ins with hollows but not all of em. I'll have to ask Yuki more about this. . . and those "arrancar" she'd mentioned earlier. Not right now though, it'd be obvious I distrust this human. . . Raph. Hoshi stood quietly after giving his comment about the hollow he and Yuki killed. Then simply listened to the other two talk. Hoshi immediately got saddened by Yuki working for Uzaki Enterprises. Hoshi wasn't the smartest of the bunch, but he knew that some spiritually inclined folk worked there. It just made him sad that they wanted to work for some random gent when they could work for Shizuka and her folk. Still. . . he wondered if perhaps they didn't have the "dubious" types there. Xcution certainly had that kind of folk and that could make it difficult to work with them.

He sighed to himself, then realized he'd lost himself in his thoughts for a bit too long. He tried to play it off like he wasn't super concerned about the other two. Lying . . . wasn't his strong suit so he'd see how that panned out shortly. For now, though he had to answer them and give em something to work with. "Gotcha, gotcha. Raph and Yuki. WELL, I am Hoshi. Unlike ya'll I do not have a report to write up haha! I've got to return to my patrol at some point buuuuut. . . " He pulled out a cheap flip phone to glance at the time, it was nearing 4am. Replacing it back in his kimono's pocket he continued on. "Well, I've got a little more time. My shift doesn't end til 7? Maybe 8 if the person replacing me is late. . . That or I don't have some other thing to do. Anyway, I've got time to chat for a little while."

Contrary to Hoshi's comments he immediately walked off. And it may have seemed like he was walking out of the construction site as a whole until he finally turned around the building they were working on and found what he wanted. The managers building. Now he wasn't going to get inside but he knew that tools were stored nearby so he looked for the tool room and when he found it smiled as he knew it would be unlocked. People were lazy late at night after all. Which meant he could go get a seat since there was a bench here. It took him a few minutes to return but once he did, he was smirking at the other two given he was going to sit on a stool. A wooden one and only just a bit better than the ground but still better, nonetheless. "Sorry about that, I work in construction on the regular, so I know where the folk hide things. I also know cleaning this kimono will be a pain in the ass if I'm not careful. Alas, the burdens I bear to look good on the job. Anywho, so what's your explanation of all that? You are also some kinda vigilante?"

As Hoshi sat on his chair, he put his elbows on his knees and looked over the two before him. Evidently still curious on what all Yuki could do but more curious on the reason for all of Raph's weirdness. Hollows were easy to explain. Folk out at night, a little less so. And folk with a broken fullbring? Even less so. Then again. . . Hoshi wasn't quite certain what exactly a fullbring was. He'd need to ask the folk back at Xcution. Obviously though it was part of what made Humans and Fullbringers synonymous. So that had to mean something. Maybe he'd pick it up somewhere along the way? Or maybe it'd be lost to him like many things are. He mentally shrugged and just decided to listen in for a while. See what the others said and figure it out later. Xcution had folk much smarter than him. He could ask them all the questions he had when he reported back and made his own report on the events of his patrol. Especially about Raph.

[Raphael Laurent]

He looked to Tamashi, with a bit of a smile lighting his face. It was rare that he met someone else from Uzaki Enterprises. But this also meant that someone else now knew of his condition, beyond Kazura. Well, to be fair, even Kazura didn't know what had fully happened, but that was more due to his absence. Raphael would've told the man, if he'd found him around... Still he should probably make more of an effort with this... Wouldn't do to upset more coworkers than he needed.

"Oh, geez... I didn't..." Raphael massaged the back of his head. "I'm, uh... I'm actually employed by Uzaki Enterprises... which--" He stopped himself, realizing that he was interrupting Hoshi who talked about how he was still on shift until about seven or eight. Another patrol? Or... what was this guy doing out here, anyways...? He watched as the man got up, walked over to a manager building for the construction site and came back with a bench, sitting down on it. Raphael couldn't help but chuckle, as the cement behind him slowly rose to a seat as well.

"Mm... I suppose something like that, is the closest to what I am. I'm a member of Uzaki Enterprises, so I usually go out on patrol finding hollows and marking usual patterns of travel for them, and...killing them if they threaten someone or if the shinigami take too long to get rid of them." He looked to Yuki. "You haven't heard from K-- Anything fromt he CEO, have you? I've sent him emails, but haven't heard anything back... Or from Luca, another employee..." He frowned a bit and leaned forward on his own seat. A lot of important players were missing...and that rubbed Raph the wrong way.

"Oh, but right. So... I'm a fullbringer, which normally means that I've got an object that I can make into a weapon, something that I can really use to pull out my own powers, yeah? Cept... I can't. There was an..." He paused, not entirely certain how much of what happened he wanted to go back over. "There was an accident, or...well, basically something really wrong and it was destroyed. So...instead I now have fine reiatsu control and a fair bit more spirit pressure... Now... that whole..." He waved a hand. "That thing that happened? That only started once it was destroyed... I don't have any clue what the hell is going on with that... To be honest, I'm still looking for answers, myself..."

[Tamashi Yuki]

Yuki tilt their head to a side looking curious at Raph as he tried to explain what he was doing, even if he stumble on his words at first the penguin manage to get that they work for Uzaki too, well that makes the report part easier for them since the Fullbringer could help them with that, while Raph was talking Hoshi took his time to get a stool for him to sit down and the fullbringer rise some of the cement to make a chair for him, now it's when they regret stopping their power otherwise they could use it to make a chair for them too, well Hoshi's head should do for now they thought as they jump back on the head of their fellow Mod soul.

"I'm usually covering an rea rather than going on full patrols, since I rarely sleep due to barely using my abiliskills in the morning I am always ready to take on hollows at night" They said getting confortable in Hoshi's head almost as like a bird on a nest. "I have not seen the CEO since I applied to, I'm a basically a new hire so I don't think the CEO would have much interest in me at the moment, but I am always alert for any emergency that requires me"

The penguine paid attention to what Raph was saying about their broken Full Bring and how that changed his abilities, a fine control of reiatsu and more spiritual pressure sound like a good trade for a weapon (granted Yuki doesn't know much how Full Brings work so maybe they are wrong in that assertion), that said it seemed that it came with a secondary effect which was whatever that happen with him back then, losing control, voice changing and the weird behavior that the penguin couldn't point out earlier.

"It is just a theory on my part, so correct me if I'm wrong with certain information" The Mod Soul might have an idea of what's going on or might be completely wrong, either way it's something to look more into it "If my knowledge of Fullbringers is correct, your powers are similar to that of hollows as you posses hollow Reiatsu, the specifics are not clear to me so I do not know how a fullbringer has such power, that said what if Fullbringers are like Arrancars in a sense?" The Mod Soul ponder, if they are right about this maybe they found a deeper link between Fullbringer and hollows, or they could be completely wrong who knows? "An Arrancar is a Hollow that breaks their mask and in the process they gain the power of a soul reaper sealing their hollow power in a Zanpakuto, what if Fullbringers are sort of similar? Instead of sealing the powers of a hollow in a Zanpakuto it is in the fullbring itself, maybe when it was destrobroken your hollow power lost the seal and it's now trying to break free and take control?" Again it's just a theory that might be completely wrong but it's what the Mod Soul can work out with the information they have. "I think it would be intellismart to talk about it with other fullbringers as I am not entirely sure if I am correct with this theory"

[Hoshi]

Hoshi listened to both talk. And talk. And talk. And. Talk. Hoshi could talk himself, but they were talking about shit that frankly he neither cared about nor knew exactly what he could say. Arrancars? New fucking subject matter. Something he'd have to go talk with the nerds about in the R&D section of Xcution. Fullbringers and their specialty weapons? Much the same thing. He knew OF them but not ABOUT them. He could ask some of the guys and gals he worked with about em. Maybe even his immediate bosses as a couple of em were human fullbringers. But even then, he'd have to remember and not be getting yelled at by them for being "off the path". He mentally groaned at the thought. Oooooh I'm definitely going to be yelled at after my patrol is done. Unless I lie to em. . . but I gotta tell em about who I found here. Ugh. I'm not leaving Xcution for a little bit it seems. Agony, I really wanted breakfast at the new diner.


Still for all the subject matter that was new and just strange, Hoshi did try to keep up with at least some aspects of it. Both Raph and Yuki were members of Uzaki Enterprises. An organization that he knew had spiritual ties but was uncertain of what exactly they did. Their CEO, likely the individual in charge, had a name that started with a K. There was another employee called "Luca" whoever the fuck that was. Maybe important, maybe not. He knew their races and in Yuki's case her general capabilities. It looked like phase transition, which made it eerily similar to Soul Command from fullbringers. Gotta wonder what spawned THAT idea for a power. I know Squad 12 felt like "Bringing the Sun to Hueco Mundo" but perhaps they were using Yuki as a means of testing a pseudo–Soul Command? It's hard to say honestly. Still, we'd work well together. . . assuming Uzaki isn't something Xcution can work with in any capacity. I'll have to see what the bosses and/or company policy says.

Pondering back over what else Hoshi was learning about, he'd gained a bit more knowledge on Arrancar. Though again, still word of mouth. He'd need the nerds to tell him more details. Relevant preferably given his programming. A stray thought went through Hoshi's mind about being downloaded the information. His face scrunched up some in consideration until he shook his head around and immediately threw out the idea. Scientists messing with him? AGAIN? Absolutely not. He trusted Shizuka but not the nerds who worked for her. Well, didn't trust em enough. Still back to other things he'd learned, most that were most important. That he was fucking right about Raph. He had a defect now. Spiritual, mental, who the fuck knows. But he was flawed and, in a way, dangerous. Hoshi was definitely going to report this if only so he could know how Xcution would want him to proceed if he should meet the other again. Especially given Hoshi had already seen effects of the problem. So, the possibility that the other lost control completely wasn't super far off. Either way there was so much to figure out and learn. Let alone report. He sighed to himself as he looked up to the sky and saw the black sky, the moon, and light from the buildings nearby. Which reminded him. . . Construction started early. Early enough that they needed to dip.

Looking back at the others Hoshi spoke up. "So not to ruin the fun of meeting up and talking over things, I have no knowledge about. Wasn't programmed to be a library if you haven't noticed. We uhhhh. . . . we gotta go. Knowing construction, we're DEFINITELY pushing our luck as its close to 5am. If we aren't careful, we could very well be in trouble by those who work here given all of us are not working for this specific company. Though funnily enough I did just apply to work part time for em so maybe soon I can be on these premises. Hmm. That's a thought ain't it? Anyway . . . yeaaaa we should leave. Besides it sounds like you to get some work to do. Both at your job and out of it." He levelled a glance at Raph in particular about doing "work outside of the job". He was hopeful the message got across given he shouldn't be the only one concerned about the others lacking control of themself. Should no one else start getting up Hoshi himself would get up off the bench and go replace it. This time running over, locking up the storage shed, and then running back if only to show that he was serious about their time running out.

[Raphael Laurent]

He watched Yuki for a moment, tilting his head and wondering if she had wanted him to make her a chair as well. One of his favorite things was to use soul command; there was a wonderful...vibrancy to it, it didn't directly destroy anything and any changes could be easily reversed... Perhaps she'd have liked a chair... He'd ask now but... Well, now it would only feel awkward and he didn't want to make, what he felt was an awkward situation more awkward... It kinda already felt like he'd already done so, somehow.

"Eh, ya never know. He took an interest in me... Maybe he just hasn't... had the opportunity to meet you yet, yeah?" He smiled to her. There was... he couldn't quite explain how he was feeling right now, but it was good. It was... like finding an old friend again. It made him a little sad, thinking of his friends, of Luca and Kazura... even Kaen...even though Kaen was still alive. He didn't know about Luca or Kazura... He needed to call his old friends, but damn if it didn't still hurt that Luca and Kazura were missing.

Raphael listened to Yuki as she began speaking about the connection between fullbringsers and hollows. He didn't know that they were like arrancaras... It was odd to think that he might be like the creatures that the shinigami were always fighting. He nodded as he listened to her. Theproblem was that there weren't that many fullbringers that he knew of, at least not anymore. "Yeah... If I can find any other fullbringers that are willing to talk about it with me." If he cold find one. The only other one he could really think of was Shizuka and... he didn't know how much he wanted to go after her...

Hoshi's gaze, however... While it wasn't withering, he felt only slightly concerned. It was lie an annoying itch. The man was, in his own way, an irritation. Raphael listened to him, intently, about how they had to get going and away from the construction site. It made sense. After all they were hanging out in a place that people were going to be coming to soon. He pulled out his phone as Hoshi mentioned that they were all here in a place where none of them worked for. Hell he'd nearly forgotten the time and five am was a bad time to be hanging arond a construction zone.

"Yeah... yeah. Fair. I kinda forgot that it was nearly that time." The "chair" behind him collapsed back into the normal concrete, as he got up. He didn't mention the gaze, though. If the dude didn't like him, then the dude didn't like him and nothing would change that. Then he turned to Yuki and gave a bit of a smile. "I don't know if you feel like collabing on the report, but if you have a phone in your human body, I can give you my number and then you text me when you get back to it. That sound like a plan, to you?"

[Tamashi Yuki]

Right, time to go... The Mod Soul should be aware of this considering they probably have to go to Karakura high in a couple of hours, but it's so rare to have someone to talk to that is not their own sensei, oh well surely there'll be more time for talk in the future especially now that they know Raph is part of Uzaki which was nice as they were interested in following this peculiar case closely if possible.

"I do, on my Gigai I pass as a regular teenager, of course I have a mobile phone" They said jumping off Hoshi's head and then look at the Mod Soul "Hopefully we will see each other soon, I would like to have another Mod soul to talk" This was a perfect chance for them to learn more about Mod Souls (if Hoshi was part of the original batch and not a "new generation" like them) and maybe figure out more stuff as to how to reach their goals even if at the moment feels like an impossible task knowing what they know about the Mod Soul-Soul Reaper current relationships

[Hoshi]

Hoshi breathed a quiet sigh of relief that the other two seemed to get the hint that they had to leave like . . . five minutes ago. Still, they were lucky, no one yet had shown up, but he wasn't going to take any chances on that. Would really look bad for his interview after all. Hoshi was about to voice a question to Yuki but then felt them hop off his head and speak towards him. It wasn't until she spoke about a phone that Hoshi realized . . . he didn't have one. Fuck . . . I guess my coworkers were right. I was going to need one of those. Shit, I owe him five ryo. AGHH FINE! We'll get one after work. As Yuki finished up her comment and Raph seemed to have been addressed Hoshi figured that this was likely his best moment to speak up before he ran off. Though he had to wonder for a moment what he could give to Yuki to find him. He wasn't certainly actually.

Time was ticking and so he decided to speak as his mind continued thinking up an idea. "Absolutely! Your kind of an important person given you're a Mod Soul. The fact more exists blows my mind! So, we'll definitely meet up sometime but uhhh . . . I never thought it'd be relevant to get a phone, so I don't have a number. I'll try to fix that when next we meet ummm. . . Hold on lemme think about how we can meet up again. Mmmmm . . ." Hoshi thought for about a minute before the metaphorical "light bulb" or star in his mind's eye, popped up. He smiled wide and then looked at Yuki specifically. "So, this is dumb to say but trust me when I say you'll find me easy enough. Look for me at either restaurants with EXCEPTIONALLY spicy food. The sorta shit you have to get waivers for OR construction sites. Typically, I hop around working for them and tend to be present for the afternoon shifts. When next you catch me, I'll have a phone so we can talk more readily then!"

Hoshi then looked at Raph. It was blank and he knew the polite thing was to say something, but he didn't know what to say that wasn't super. . . offensive honestly. Normally he wouldn't have bothered speaking his mind, but Yuki was here, and they were coworkers, so he'd need to be on neutral terms at least. No phone numbers but a goodbye shouldn't be too hard right? "For what it's worth. . . I hope things get better. I don't get it. Not my thing given I wasn't made to be smart but uhhh . . . It sounds like a problem. Now if ya'll excuse me, I have to avoid being chewed out for not returning to my patrol for a routine check. Ooopsie~ Ah well, I'll just make something up, like getting a snack from the convenience store. Anywho, see ya'll later!" Hoshi then immediately bolted at full speed sprinting to the gate and then taking a right. He needed to make sure he returned to his path. In the meantime, he had an ass chewing to deal with.

With a click of a button on his earpiece he unmuted himself so he could speak to them again. "Heya fellas! Yea, yea I know I ran off buuuut hear me out there was a Hollow! Two even! Which speaking of, I need to make a report when I get back. Remind me how that goes again? Anywho, I'm back on patrol now so I'll loop back to answer any questions you've got. See ya'll then~" He turned down the volume as he heard yelling and promptly ignored it. Turns out more details were wanted, and he was all but ordered to return anyway. With a roll of his eyes Hoshi continued to run towards the Xcution base. He really wasn't going to get away from work anytime soon which was only that much sadder now that it was a certainty and not a possibility.

I counted 94 total paragraphs, so 940 TP awarded to all participants
