ulquiorra: true despair looks like this (threat) nnoitra: am i a joke to you
Plotted Starter || For: @ulqviorra
Grimmjow watches, hidden in the gully between great arcing dunes. His pale skin and bright hair muted and disguised under the heavy back shadow cast by the light sliver of silver moon catching at the crest of the sand.
He’s not yet cold. The air is thick with reiatsu, and the way it settles in the air, wasted and unconsumed, is enough to warm the outer shell of his hierro even when settled in sands that haven’t touched moonlight in centuries. But even if he were, his attention is so fixated on the sight before him that he could never pay attention to such an irrelevant detail as that right now.
The new Cuatro is less than two hundred meters from him, bloodied up to his elbows and cleaving his way through yet another adjuchas. It’s too weak to fight back and it knows it, but this one has some control, decorum. It looks it’s death in the eyes and maintains its dignity, even as it gargles and chokes on it’s own blood. Ulquiorra - that’s what Aizen had called the arrancar - rewards its bravery with a hand through the hollow of it’s throat. One more in a long string of savage murders.
Ulquiorra considers the corpse coldy and drags his index finger over his tongue to taste it. But this one, like hundreds before it, isn’t strong enough to satisfy the gaping hole in his soul. He abandons it without eating and disappears over the next dune in search for new prey.
Grimmjow has been stalking him for the better part of his... massacre. It’s not a hunt at this point. Too many abandoned corpses for it to be a feeding frenzy. Grimmjow would never be so fucking wasteful, but he doesn’t touch these. It would give away his position and so far he’s managed to fly successfully under Ulquiorra’s pesquisa. He’d like to see how close he can get.
And figure out what the fuck is going on. Hollows are hollows. They’re gonna kill. But Grimmjow has never seen pointless carnage like this, cutting down hollows for no reason other than to kill them. He doesn’t get it.
So for now he follows him around the dunes, darting on silent feet from shadow to shadow after the Espada, slowly closing the distance, observing. Stalking. Part of him is riled - it feels like he’s hunting, even though he knows there’s no real meal to be found here. It’s reconnaissance - but that doesn’t stop his instincts from rising towards the well worn habits. It’s an effort to keep himself from pouncing every time he catches a glimpse of the other’s back.
It’s only after Ulquiorra has made his way through another dozen hollows, tasting, touching, and sniffing at the remains before it clicks, and before Grimmjow’s own instincts become too hard to ignore.
“You’re feeling them.” He steps out of the shade and into Ulquiorra’s periphery. 30 meters. His hands are at his sides, lax, but his shoulders are tense, back curved. A balance between coiled for battle and relaxed enough to suggest he’s not looking to pick a fight. “Its different for you now. Why?”
@ulqviorra said: inoue.
“ when did you decide my name was important enough to learn ? ” curiosity finally spills over, the question she's pondered freeing it's self from peach tinted lips. “ it's just that . . . you only used to call me ' woman '. ” it's hard to recall, those memories she's shoved deep within herself. to think about her time spent her as a captive, not freely as she did so now. “ you're changing, ulquiorra-kun. ”
@ulqviorra replied: you think so highly of yourself its embarrassing for everyone
"You wanna fuck me most of all.”
“Don’t worry, my ego isn’t as big as my dick.”
hm.
violet hues narrow, never straying from the espada's frame. white cloth of her sleeve, found in it's usual place hovering just above her mouth. only does sung-sun allow the slight tilt of her head to reveal her curiosity. he seemed one of the few, that earned the favor of lady harribel. at his side, she joins him. hues now cast upon dark skies over head. how fitting, does the silence feels that falls in place between them. much different, than the squabbling of her usual companions.
finally, does her soft voice come. “ you, i am curious about. ” she studied, watched the others. as if , there was anything else to do in the expanse of endless sand.
* @ulqviorra : 23 . a kiss on the back of the hand .
curled into her chair , chin upon knees. a shell of the vampiress. “ if i am to be trapped in this hell , at least it is with you. ” eyes turn upon him, lips cold and pressed against her hand. gently do the pale digits brush against his cheek, to cradle his face in her palm. troubled is her expression, as if something sorrowful now lives within her. “ you and i have been together a very long time , but everything must come to an end. ”
“ there is nothing to keep you here , not even me. ” to lose him, would be another piece of her lost. and then truly , would she find herself alone. “ the world could be yours, only if you wished it . ” she had considered, being cruel. to bare her fangs and sent him away with words of malevolence. but this was her new beginning to and end, a way to make amends for the pain she had caused. it made me very happy, to have spent my time under the moon with you at my side. ”

“It depends. They’d never ask for it, though,” Shi replies, watching as this strange man makes a show of...intimidating her? It’s an assertion of himself, for sure, validating her claim of his predatory nature.
Does she feel sympathy for him? Not especially, Shi thinks. Perhaps if he were a normal man, she would think he just had a stick up his ass. Rigid and unable to enjoy life, company, fun. But that’s not what he is, though the revenant doesn’t have words for his kind.
He’s an unknown and foreign god.
The expression she offers him says more than her tone, an impish curl in the corner of her mouth. Pine needle eyes dancing with excitement as if caught in a gust of wind.
“Oh, you give me the tinglies all over.” Shi teases, body language revealing not a modicum of fear. “Just probably not in the way predators expect.”
