white--moon:
He’s always been more hollow than not, and that hasn’t changed during his freedom. It’s become quite clear to him that maybe not everyone has been made privy to information pertaining to him in general. But still, when he comes across someone not quite human, he tests, like a shark biting before it decides if there’s food or not. Some of them are terrible at it, but some of them are good at blending in.
His mouth first quirks into a smirk when he feels that tap on his shoulder, but twists into a less amused expression a moment after. He shrugs from that grip. “Me? You’re the one that should be more careful. You wouldn’t wanna start a fight here, with all these people in the way.”
Is it a threat? Maybe a little bit of one. Mostly he’s just keeping himself entertained. He doesn’t particularly care about events like this concert, but he occasionally likes the chaos and noise and movement of it all. The liveliness is attractive, but even he’s not sure if that’s because he’s a hollow or if it’s because he might not be completely hollow.
Rose stares his assailant down hard, trying to get the measure of him. He snorts at the idea that he’s the one starting something here. This guy’s the one making threats here. He’s similar in build to him, Rose notes, skinny but with a distinct hint of muscle that suggests he’s not exactly a pushover either - just the kind of person who’d start something for the sake of starting something.
“I’m not the one trying to start anything here”
It’s been a good night and he doesn’t have the energy for this.
“Just watch where you’re going”
The words have a finality to them but Rose doesn’t move. He wants this one gone and out of the way before he beats his own retreat. It’s not worth the risk of being jumped on his way home. This one seems like the type.

She's really out of her depth.
Rose can tell that as soon as he asks his question, the way she demurs and backs away marks her out as someone who has little idea of how things work in any town, let alone here. The fear is a stab to the ego and he frowns,
"Relax, I don't wish you any harm. I'm not exactly native here myself. I was curious to see another outsider. I can never resist indulging my curiosities"
Her question stops him from pushing further, the wounded wrinkle to his brow vanishing back into something warmer and just as ingratiating as before.
"It's a busy day and those who required that kind of transport would have booked it at sunrise. Early bird catches the worm"
He lets his expression soften further in apparent sympathy, curious about what's going on here. She's definitely not with any of the market traders despite appearances, and doesn't appear to be a fellow bard. Rose likes to think he knows his fellow travellers enough to recognise one on sight, and she doesn't have the right look. So why can't he shake the sense of familiarity he gets when he takes a proper look at her.
"We?"
Intriguing
There's only one way to put this mystery to be, and she offers him the ideal opportunity to do just that. He has no objections to playing tour guide.
"The town hall? " his smile widens, and he lets his eyes meet her's, and chuckles "it's market day, my dear, it would be unheard of for it to be closed."
He gestures westwards, through a particularly crowded group of stalls, animals and people milling about seemingly at random. There are quicker ways, he thinks, but the name of the game here is to make her want an escort.
"It's about 10 minutes that way..." he lets the words hang, tilting his head and catches her eye again with a frown "Will you be okay by yourself?"
right, signing off for the night. I have more playlists to do and hope to get to those tomorrow. Will hopefully do more threads too

"Hmm, how best to describe young Ichigo, our intriguing protégé. It's certainly not an easy task, but one I think I'm equal to. How about...
Determination - I think if anyone could embody that quality, I think it's likely you. You have an admirable inner strength and the ability to work hard, how could I not think of that word when I think of you.
Sorrow - another abstract concept sadly, and a far less enviable quality. When I see you, I see the loss you've suffered despite your youth and the sacrifices you've made to keep the world in balance. Again, an admirable quality and a good one for my muse, but not something I'd wish on anyone.
Crimson - it's maybe easy to forget that I helped you suppress your hollow. I'm not the most obvious person when both Shinji and Hiyori played a far more vital role than I. However, I did fight you and the crimson of your mask will always linger in my mind whenever I think of you.
Shakespeare - I heard through the grapevine, that you're a fan of the bard. I must admit it surprised me. You don't exactly seem like the type to appreciate the theatre. That said, I will always appreciate any attempt to engage with the arts and so I link Shakespeare with you. "

The lieutenant carries on as if this is the most normal thing in the world. It's like she's acting on auto pilot - tools down, chart checked and Rose pulled into a sitting position. He grits his teeth, trying his best to orientate himself as she sweeps along, simply going through the motions. It feels as if he's been out a very long time.
"the light? it's fine"
He turns stiffly to the window - thinking light is the least of his concerns considering where he is. It's then he notes the carnage outside and the early memories of the war come flooding back with a gasp. They were invaded, the quincy...Izuru. He swallows at that, thinking there's no way Izuru could've survived an injury like the one he had, but not wanting to let the grief overwhelm him just yet. There's bigger things to worry about. Like just how the seireitei ended up like this...
"What happened?"
The words come out slowly. It's enough to mask the rising sense of anxiety He's still muggy headed and sore as hell. He racks his brains, finding gaps where there shouldn't be. Rose can't think of a reason for the soreness let alone why he should be here in the fourth. He knows he'd been ok during the first withdrawal. Everything goes black after that.
He looks up at Isane, not quite panicked, but certainly hoping she might be able to fill in some blanks.
"Was I badly hurt?"

Stan Getz's Reflections, the title track of his 1964 album is an underrated one and not among his more popular recordings. Apart from the undercurrent of quiet hope, which I like to think is a neat bridging of her diffidence and his chivalrous streak, there is also something mellow about this piece that hints at a gentle drifting towards the distinct possibility of something. Which is apt for them since they're still fairly new, and they both seem to like creating a bubble for just themselves in such set-ups.
Astor Piazzolla's Spring from his Four Seasons in Buenos Aires might seem a little frenetic for them at first blush, but it must be recalled that they both like spring. He believes in rebirth, experiencing things anew and the lushness of what life has to offer. She likes spring because plants make a comeback after winter and because it's a reminder to herself that no matter what happens to her and how she feels, life goes on and there will be new things she has to live with. The opening has something fugal about it as though they're uncertain what to make of each other, but it quickly tapers off into something hopeful when they find out they have more than a few things in common the more they talk. The dramatic buoyancy of this discovery is more Rose, of course, until more serious topics come up, and then it segues into the quiet, contemplative notes that might well be indicative of Isane's moderating, accepting and gentle nature as well as the seriousness of conversations when they confide in each other. As the music picks up again, the fugue-like parts are reminiscent of the sounds of the spring rain which brings flowers. I like to think this hints at her feeling a little more alive after being in his company and him eventually coming to see her as a sort of shelter from the unpleasantness he has experienced.
Alyce King (of the King Sisters) with Alvino Rey & his Orchestra - I'm Glad There is You. This is an underrated jazz classic from 1942. They both are very in touch with their emotions and seem willing to talk about anything and everything. This is unsurprising when they're the types to believe that all feelings are valid and there shouldn't be any embargo on the way one feels/thinks in regard to any given situation/experience. The lyrics, "In this world of overrated pleasures / And underrated treasures / I'm glad there is you", suit them because they are coming to realise (once they have confided in each other and shared insecurities, etc) that they do offer each other understanding and acceptance without judgement.

Send me “💿” & my muse will quote or sing lyrics from a song that makes them think of yours
Okay, so I am giving you this, specifically these lyrics from towards the end of the song
I don't want nobody hurt for me, Or made to do the dirt for me. This rotten life is not for me. It's getting far too hot for me. Don't want no one to rob for me. But who will find a job for me, There is no in between for me But who will change the scene for me?
This is a song of mistakes, with Fagin singing about the life he's led and the possible ways out, all of which he dismisses while the obvious way out (turning his back on a life of crime), is clear to the audience. I don't think these themes strictly apply to Kisuke. I've always read his decision to remain outside of soul society was very much his own and, although I can sort of see the parallel between that and Fagin's decision not to go straight, I don't think Kisuke really sees himself as a victim of circumstance in the same way Fagin does.
That said, Kisuke is a man who's made mistakes and does seem to care about those around him. I don't want nobody hurt for me, - feels very pertinent to Kisuke. He doesn't come across as a guy who wants to cause problems or hurt people, but yet it becomes necessary for him to suceed in his aims.

Okay, hear me out here.... I would like to give you this - particularly the chorus
Everything you know is wrong Black is white, up is down and short is long And everything you used to think was so important Doesn't really matter anymore Because the simple fact remains that
Everything you know is wrong Just forget the words and sing along All you need to understand is Everything you know is wrong Everything you know is wrong
Now, before you shake your head in abject disappointment and move on, I have reasons. Admittedly not good ones, but still, I can defend my position here.
That chorus sounds exactly a speech Aizen would give if you slowed in down a bit (y'know just without the jaunty accordion accompaniment)
Again, the chorus feels like a blend of both Aizen's and Shinji's powers, which is why I have the long held belief that this should be the theme song of the 5th division
Rose is still slightly bitter about the whole hollowfication thing and wasn't happy with suggesting a 'proper' song, so a comedy song felt in character.
Who'd like a Playlist!
I've seen I've got more asks - will get to these after work tonight.
Also, like this post if your muse would like a small 3-5 song playlist from Rose. We've always loved doing pick a song memes and I'm really in the mood for it atm. I will even tailor it to a specific verse or ship if you leave a comment telling me what you want.

Another tough one.
The first one which came to mind is, in my head, Grimm and his fraccione function as a slightly more civilised version of the young ones. (clip below - it's a British comedy show from the 80's), and this is in part because Grimm reminds me a slightly subdued version of Vyvyan.
I say slightly more civilised, as at least Grimm and his fraccione have a leadership structure and their own sense of honor. Grimm is pretty sensible at times, which is a bit more than you can really say for the young ones.

oohh, this was *hard* .Have this from Cake - specifically the lyrics
She'd like to put you in her zoo, Right between the canaries and the cockatoos. She'll pull out your feathers For her brand new hat, And when she's done that She'll feed you to her cat. So watch out. She ain't no good for you

For you, my dear Isane, I immediately think of...
The scent of tea, delicate and fragrant but also rather sweet
The poetry you so easily create through your own observations. Considerate, and gentle in their imagery, but almost razor sharp in their accuracy
Opera, the connection will be forever made for me.
Meadows and bell flowers, the symbol of your division, or any small wildflowers. Bluebells perhaps? Snowdrops? They all feel equally you.
The colour red, it suits you, the pink of your blush
Selfless dedication, both to your patients and to your sister, steady and faithful
