[A. Bankai Training a.k.a Introduction of Adult Hitsugaya]

[It’s not an unfamiliar sight to see someone training, especially anyone who bothers coming to the forest near Kuraokami’s temple. What is an unfamiliar sight, however, would be what would appear to be an older version of Hitsugaya.

He’s in the sky, training with his sword. Bits of ice and snow appear with his movements, causing him to frown a bit as he reins in his reiatsu enough to ensure he doesn’t end up freezing the moisture in the air. Swinging his sword to the side, an ice dragon flows out from the tip and circles overhead before it disperses in the air.

He watches it disappear, sighing and rubbing the back of his neck before he decides to land.]

[B. Investigations]

i. Yamada Department Store
[After hearing about the department fire, Toushirou doesn’t really waste too much time checking it out.

The remains of the building stood out to him as he approaches it. There’s some faint look of wonder on his face, wondering just how bad the fire could have gotten this bad. It makes him frown, peering up at it before he slips inside the burnt department store.

People are free to join or prevent him from doing so.]

ii. Lava

[He would have initially missed the lava - the hot weather was already beginning to take a toll on him - but it was the smell of sulfur that managed to catch his attention.

So, Toushirou is looking in the direction of where he could practically feel the sudden increase in the temperature, expression somewhat annoyed. He breathes out, a hand coming up to cover his face.]

Now there’s lava?

[C. Headache-Induced]

[Now here’s an odd sight.

Anyone who knows Toushirou would be surprised to see him either sleeping under a shaded tree or leaning against it, eyebrows scrunched up together as if in pain. There doesn’t seem to be anything wrong, but at the same time, he pinches the bridge of his nose as if warding off a headache.

A teal eye soon glances over when someone approaches, but then soon closes.]

What? [His tone is wary, a bit on edge.]

[D. Wildcard]

[Make one up your own or hit me up at seabutterfly]

Comments

[freezetheheavens]

I see.

[That kind of explains it then. He shrugs a bit.]

[revolutionfalcon]

[It's not really something Shun feels the need to elaborate on, and he glances up to where Hitsugaya was just training.]

Unless you need someone to train against, I should probably get back to my patrol.

[freezetheheavens]

[A glance up at where he was training and he eyes Shun.]

It has been a while since we've done any proper training on swordsmanship. Still feel a need to test that out?

[revolutionfalcon]

[There's a slight hum of assent from Shun at that. He doesn't usually like to break too long from his patrols, but for something like this, he'll consider it valid.]

I've been branching out more with weapons recently, and it means I've had less chance to actually fight experienced swordspeople.

[freezetheheavens]

[Toushirou raises an eyebrow. Good for you, Shun.]

If you feel up to it, we can fight with swordplay now.

[revolutionfalcon]

There's not much point asking if I feel up to it. [Considering Shun always feels up to it, or at least, he'll claim he does to the ends of the earth. One way or another, he goes on to draw his short sword.]

[freezetheheavens]

Then you're free to make the first move.

[Come at him.]

[revolutionfalcon]

[Shun isn't that big a fan of making the first move, but it's not like he always has that choice. So after settling his grip on his sword, he starts to circle Hitsugaya for a few moments.

Then, rather suddenly, he moves in with a sharp, spinning motion, driving the blade of his sword up towards Hitsugaya's side. He figures he doesn't need to hold back considering the arsenal of powers the guy has at his disposal.]

[freezetheheavens]

[He doesn't move at first, allowing the other god to circle him. It has been a while since they've done any training together, so he's curious as to how Shun will make the first move.

His sword immediately shoots out, parrying off the charge before it touches his side. Twisting his sword, he swiftly pushes it aside and swings his sword down at him.]

[revolutionfalcon]

[If there's one part of this whole thing Shun is skilled enough at to get by with, it's dodging. It certainly seems like he's been polishing his footwork for this particular style of weapon - once he dodges to one side, he shifts his balance just a little to move back in and try a backhanded slash more towards his face.]
