OOC: This is a double TP thread given 2023's December event.
Hoshi was walking down a main street of Karakura stretching out his body with the upper half of his kimono hanging around his waist. Silently thanking whatever or whoever was making it cool enough that he could literally cool his body as he walked around. Not but fifteen minutes ago had he been working at a construction site that was dedicated to refurbishing and replanting the park he'd recently burnt down. On accident of course. He'd had to verify it with his boss's supervisors that he could have a second job given his primary employer was Xcution but given he was low ranking at the moment he didn't have to worry about having too many duties and thus was given permission to do such. As Hoshi walked through the street barring his "injury" of only having one arm and by and large being a weeb given his clothing choice, "stylistic accessories, and even the "body paint" he'd used on his skin everyone, and their grandmother was looking at him. Well as they walked by anyway. Hoshi in the meantime soaked it all up with a bright smile and used his only remaining arm to wave at those he came across.
This was one of the perks of having a gigai body. He could interact with people and not scare them. A walking, talking cactus plush . . . ehhh not so much. But he'd had to make do with what he could get at the time. Still thank Shizuka for Xcution's means to create gigai time and again. He always ended up destroying his due to his powers which just sucked but they could keep creating them like nothing happened. His smile grew as he thought about how lucky he was to be in Xcution. I really do need to try and do something to repay her. Especially since I keep destroying the surroundings. Hmmm. . . Maybe I'll start working on my days off? I mean its dedication but then again, I do want to do at least other kinds of work. And doing construction lets me fix the messes my power makes.
Hoshi sighed to himself as he stopped at a crosswalk, the device giving an open hand. He rolled his eyes before putting on his kimono proper since he'd stopped sweating a few minutes ago. He let his thoughts roam again and was about to come up with a brand-new idea until it got jarred off course by the sound of a hollow. Hoshi's eyes narrowed as he looked around in an attempt to see if he could spot the hollow. He ultimately found no hollows but instead found a pair of shinigami. Hoshi's heart race increased, and he swore his temperature was increasing as well. He took a deep breath and immediately started running down the other street. Not in front of everyone. My supervisor will kill me if I just slaughter people. . . buuuut there isn't a rule against shinigami. I'll just have to take the fights elsewhere, which might be good so long as I can manage it. . . Hmmm. . .
As he ran down the street, he heard another screech from the hollow. It was close and it was on a building. Not a good thing and they were nearing the shopping district on a Saturday. Doubly bad. He'd just have to use his rebars for now. With a whisper of sorrow to those whose buildings he'd damage he immediately pulled out both steel rebars and stabbed them into the wall. Then using them like steps, though he'd have to keep pulling out the first one placed, he eventually clumsily walked his way up the side of the nearby building. Once he was at the top, he placed one of his rebars on his back, tucked into his sash. It wouldn't do to leave it around. Then he looked around taking another few moments to search out the beast. And there it was along with the two shinigami in question on another building, a couple floors up as they ganged up on the beast. Hoshi had no love of Hollows but even he knew that this was something they needed to do for the sake of Karakura. . . They needed to do ONE good thing for someone other than themselves before dying.
Hoshi then sighed as he had to do the same thing again and threw his rebars into the wall of this next building so he could climb up said building. Again, it took longer than he wanted but sadly, he couldn't just walk on air while he was in his gigai. Especially when he was dressed as flamboyantly. He wanted to be seen but he'd have hell to pay if his bosses found out that he was seen doing stunts like these. He groaned to himself as he thought about this and finally made his way to the top. He must have been louder than he thought as by the time he got up to the roof of the building, the hollow was dead and the two shinigami were look at Hoshi like they were both confused and concerned that he was present. Hoshi on the other hand simply smiled wide, being certain to show off his newly acquired fangs. Then bent down to grab his rebars and after securing the first one, pointed the end of his second rebar to the shinigami.
"Ahh good on you guys for taking care of that hollow. I bet that's the first good deed you've done today. Congrats! But that doesn't even begin to make up for the number of bullshit you've done up to this point. And I'm not about to let that slide." Hoshi started to feel his energy increasing though it wasn't quite "flaring" yet. He was trying to not immediately turn into a fiery weapon of war. Thankfully, his rebar didn't have such issues and thus immediately lit itself on fire it was bright blue and contrasted his lighter colors nicely. "You're not going to leave here alive. Be thankful you're getting off easy scum." From there Hoshi immediately ran after the two both of which were almost immediately hostile with one trying to stand back and cast something while the other was running up with their zanpakuto. Hoshi knew that there were more than a few kido that were dangerous to him. And that against all odds he had to deal with that caster first.
Looking at his immediate foe however he had to block with his rebar lest he get cut in half. Again, not ideal as he wasn't super strong as of the moment and this shinigami had definitely done some weight training. The other was nearing their end of casting as his hands were aimed at Hoshi. This shit was already running his patience dry. Hoshi dropped his rebar, releasing it from the flames it made and jumping back in time to dodge a Sho thrown at him. He immediately then took his other rebar, lit it on fire and threw it at the caster. They managed to sidestep it but it never occured to them that Hoshi's weapon might just come around for a second act. He shifted his hand to an open palm and gestured a "come at me" at the caster. "Return." A minor usage of reiatsu and the rebar found itself returning to Hoshi while also making a pathway through the caster's skull burning his brain matter while also just ramming its way through.
The other shinigami was about to launch their own counterattack but heard squelching sounds and a scream cut off short and turned to see their ally killed. By the time Hoshi had gotten his rebar back he'd simply put it away, extinguishing the flame, and with a dark smile repeated his action against the other shinigami. "Return" His remaining rebar shifted up and then made its way over to Hoshi, conveniently placed on the other side of the shinigami who found themselves also impaled but this time through their spine and stomach. Hoshi chuckled happily as he found his rebar in his hand and listened to the screams of the other shinigami who was not only bleeding out but had lost motor function of his legs. Hoshi lit his weapon aflame again and spoke as he walked over to the shinigami. "You know, ya'll fancy yourselves the "heroes" of this story we call life. But you're shit story tellers and forget all the parts that matter. Like how you killed off my kind." He stomped his foot on the other head and stabbed the hands of the shinigami with his rebar, incinerating them.
He smiled to himself, losing a bit of his self-control to the moment but quickly steeled himself. Without any other words he shattered the shinigami's skull against the rooftop with the main body of his rebar then let the flames catch on the shinigami's body. Doing the same with the other body on the rooftop. From there Hoshi just move to sit on an air conditioning unit and watched as the bodies burned. "It's always a hassle to clean up the bodies. Worst yet, it's an even bigger hassle because there's likely another shinigami or two nearby and I can't fucking sense them. I hope these flames Kitai sold me on burn bodies quickly so I can go back to my day off. I really wanted to go back to Aileenes tea shop. Maybe she'd actually hire me this time." He sighed and kept his eyes focused on the bodies that were turning to ash as time went on. This wouldn't be quick, but it wouldn't be slow either, likely the span of a few minutes before they were completely ash. But while Hoshi sat on the A/C unit he kept his ears open for any abnormal sounds. Namely another self-indulgent shinigami or some other hollow stalking around.
