Fake Karakura Town [Thursday, 12/19 FT].
Dec. 19th, 2019 03:08 pmShunsui didn't need much time to rest, really, though there was a part of him that desperately wanted to use this as an excuse. If the Visored and the Shinigami forces combined weren't enough to take down these Espada--and Aizen still!--then what would be the point of putting in the effort? Why not just enjoy his last moments in peace, with the very last thing for him to remember before it all ended being the ruffle of Lisa-chan's incredibly short skirt?
But no matter how hard he might try, he knew that wouldn't be what he would remember in those last moments. It had been a nice distraction, while she was there, but sitting there by himself, all he could think of was that feral Arrancar child, the expression of delight on his face as he clutched Jūshirō's heart in his hand.
Shunsui closed his eyes and breathed out slowly. It just couldn't end like this.
"Well!" he announced, to no one in particular, since he was clearly by himself. He couldn't even see much of the battle from here, but he still put a show into slapping his knees, pulling himself up, pretending to be far more battered and worn down than he felt. "Guess I'd better get back to it..."
( Shunsui vs Starrk 2: Katen Kyōkotsu Boogaloo. )
To that, Shunsui could only pass a cool glance back over his shoulder, before turning away again, giving one of his swords a little turning toss in the air, catching it smoothly by its hilt. "Throwing away victory for the sake of style and manners is a rookie mistake. Captains don't have the time to waste on that kind of thing." If one listened closely, they might be able to pick up on the deep undercurrent of regret in those words. "Don't waste your time trying to play the good guy, No matter what debts you may owe, no matter what the situation, from the moment you start a fight, you are wrong either way."
[[ BECAUSE WHO WANTS A NICE, SIMPLE ABILITY? NOT SHUNSUI, LOL. Part 3 of 4 (unless I get super lazy). Parts 1 and 2 are here and here! And anyone actually reading this nonsense is getting all the kittens and cupcakes ]]
