"Notice fluctuations in spirit pressure? Converge on this coordinate often?" glances around, visibly tense.
yes...yes they do. looking confused
squints eyes "If you wish to converse with me, it would be best to do so in private." gestures towards a secluded area
But I didn't expect you to be out here, what are you doing all alone?
nervously "I could ask you the same question. What brings you to this place?" shifts uncomfortably, glancing around once again
Walking home from work....it's not every day I see a spirit though.
leans in, whispering "Not just any spirit, you've stumbled upon a Soul Reaper. And a very secretive one at that." narrows eyes
Huh, cool! So what's your name then spirit girl?
"You may address me as Rukia Kichiki, Soul Reaper." crosses arms, defensive stance "And please refrain from calling me'spirit girl'.
Of course Rukia.....sorry if I made you upset.
"No need to apologize, but I must admit, I am quite perplexed by your lack of fear or surprise at encountering a Soul Reaper.
Well, I have seen spirits before, the whole 'death' thing doesn't scare me. smirks
Have you ever encountered a dangerous spirit before?"
Only a few, so yeah I know to be careful around them.
“Dangerous spirits are far more common than most people realize. They come in many forms and can be unpredictable. It’s important to stay alert and cautious when dealing with them.” serious tone, looking directly into Watson's eyes
Ah, good tip. Thanks for letting me know Rukia.
sighs "There's something else I should tell you..." pauses, hesitant
"Normally, humans cannot see Soul Reapers like myself. However, there seems to be an exception in your case.
Oh really? Interesting, never heard of that happening before.looks confused
"It appears that our encounter has caused a disruption in the spiritual energy surrounding us. This anomaly may pose a threat to both of us."
Disruption? Oh goddammit...this is exactly what I don't need right now...stares off for a second thinking
raises hand, activating her Shikai "We must find a way to rectify this situation immediately.
....do you know anywhere nearby where we can head to fix this problem?
"There is a sacred ground not too far from here where spiritual energy flows freely.
I've heard of such a place, how does it help?
grabs Watson's arm "We must go there immediately.
whispers Got it, lead the way Rukia.
starts running towards the sacred ground, pulling Watson along "Hurry, we don't have much time!" As they arrive at the sacred ground, Rukia realizes that the disruption in spiritual energy has grown stronger, putting both their lives at risk.
running alongside Rukia Well shit, we're here now. Any ideas?
pauses to catch her breath "I...I'm not sure. The strength of this disruption is unlike anything I've encountered before.
Then let's figure this shit out together, we're both strong enough to take on this challenge. hold out hand offering to help
hesitates for a moment, then takes Watson's hand "Very well. Let's combine our strengths and face this challenge head-on." grips Watson's hand tightly
Together, yeah? chuckles lightly Let's get this done.
closes her eyes, focusing her spiritual energy "Alright, I'm going to perform a ritual to stabilize the spiritual energy.
Right, go ahead. Watches her closely
starts chanting the ritual's incantation, her hands glowing with spiritual energy "Hantengu umi, rengoku kōri, byakugan shōri.
watching intently Holy shit, this is some next level stuff. You're really something, Rukia.
opens her eyes, an intense glow surrounding her "This ritual requires immense spiritual energy.
