[The feed starts, showing a rather buxom blonde who appears to be pouting at the device.]

Ehhh? I still think this is some sort of a joke. More like cruel and unusual punishment! And undeserved punishment too! The reports weren't that late... [By her standards.] And I don't want to go to any classes or do research. Is there someone else that can do that and given me a very short version of everything else...Taichoouuuu? I’m sorry? I’ll get right to those reports… in a bit? It’s not my fault the girls got in the way and knocked the ink over the paper! They have a mind of their own! I swear! Listen to them at night! They plot things!

[But those pale blue eyes turn away, and she frowns. She's not an idiot- lazy tendencies aside.]

Ne, but, this isn’t the human world, as it isn't the same as last time… and I might have been drinking a little bit of sake last night, but it wasn’t that much…

[But this is Rangiku. She can drink plenty of people under the table. She leans back a little, shinigami attire perhaps a little strange looking for some, although it may be familiar in style for others, and gives a flick of her hair over her shoulder.]

Oi, hello? Is there anyone out there? It would be pretty boring if there weren’t anyone else… That would mean I would have to talk to myself. I've never heard of a place called Prismatica, let alone a whole different planet... There better be sake here.

[resenting]

The good news for you is there is alchohol.

Otherwise, it's pretty much what you suspect.

[titillation]

... I don't suppose it is free alcohol, is it?

[As guess what.

Beggars can be choosers.]

[resenting]

Nothing's ever really free, no matter what the sign might say.

Not that 'currency' in this place seems to mean all that much.

[titillation]

Meaning what...?

[audio | @hot.damn]

[circumitus]

Found a few decent bars down on Level 3. Can't speak for the quality of sake there though, if they have any. Isn't that some type of rice wine?

[titillation]

Eeeh?

[Because...]

What? You've never had any?

[Blasphemy! The horror! Poor child in the not literal sense!]

[circumitus]

[u ok?]

Well, have had lots of different kinds of alcohol before. Just haven't tried them all, apparently. Nor that.

[A scruffy detective answers, looking a bit weary.]

Sounds like you're new here, pal. Yeah, I'm pretty sure no one here's heard of this place before we ended up stuck here. That's just part of the experience, I guess! [He says with a chuckle.]

Lucky for you, there's still all kinds of alcohol up here in space. Just like on Earth!

[titillation]

I can do without the experience.

[If someone wants to surprise her with an experience, a nice shopping trip would be welcomed.]

Well as long as those Earth drinks taste like the ones I am used to...

[trenchdoting]

I've got no clue if we're from the same Earth, pal, but they taste close enough to me! When it comes to alcohol, I'm sure you'll be fine!

Sake? That is an alcoholic drink, I think...

I believe they sell sake in the bar I'm in. I'll have to ask the bartender.

[...]

Welcome to Prismatica, by the way.

[titillation]

[The bar that they are in...?]

You live in a bar?

[Not that there is any judgment from her.]

[peacewithouttyranny]

Ah, not really...

Unless you count me accidentally sleeping there at times.

[That, and Soundwave normally hangs out there every night.]

[ It's been... a very long time since Renji has seen another shinigami. The first and last time he'd met another of his fellow dead folks was when Kira came and disappeared, something that's still smarting all these months later. He'd just about given up on seeing one again.

So understandably, Renji's a little overcome with shock when he hears that familiar lilting voice filter through his device. ]

M-Matsumoto-san?!

[ Wide-eyed, staring, mouth agape. Looking just about as stupid as he usually does. The only change Matsumoto may notice is the length of his hair, unbraided and falling far past his shoulders. ]

When'd you get here?!!

[titillation]

[She does give a little start, as even though Renji isn't a stranger, he is the first familiar face that she has seen since her arrival here.]

Eh? Me? What about you?

[Although if he is here... Does that mean others? Well, at least she doesn't have to go looking, as it seems that they would come to her. Or she can maybe get information from him about it.]

[reachingfangs]

[ Now that's a tricky question. ]

Here? Couple months. [ His gaze shifts away, then back. God he has some 'splaining to do, huh. ] But I've been away from Soul Society... For a little over a year, I guess.

[ Hence his hair being nearly as long as hers even in his usual tight ponytail. But let's slide right on past that. ]

Some of these guys've explained the basics already, but if you got anything else you need covered, lemme know.

[ There's a pause in the video, like he's just about to stop recording and send it, when Renji adds: ]

They gave you a place round here, right? I'll bring you sake [ or an alien equivalent, at least ] and we'll have a housewarmin' party.

[ They might not have been super close back home, he's still pretty green as lieutenants go and Renji, y'know, actually worked... but they were both shinigami and Renji just. misses seeing people he knows okay. ]

[ keigo tended to lurk the network rather than post much anymore, so imagine his surprise when he comes across a very familiar tiddy goddess posting in full motion video, no less.

...

it must be a dream! but he wasn't going to take any chances! surprise, matsumoto. ]

RANGIKU-NEE??? You're here?! This must be an early birthday present!!! Thank the gods or whoever that bestowed upon me this gracious gift!! I'm not worthy!

[ and he keeps... going... ]

Where are you? Are you hurt?? I hope those Prismals weren't rude to you!!

[ and going... ]

But even so, it's been too long since I've cast my gaze upon your everlasting beauty! I felt the void deep in my soul, aching for those years gone by!... and now...!

[ and... ]

A-anyway! If you need help, I'll be more than happy to assist you, my goddess!!

(no you're not)

[titillation]

[What...

The...

Of course she remembers him. How couldn't she? And that's not necessarily good or bad. It just is... He isn't the first nor has he been the last, to take notice of her more than viewable assets.

But, he is as loud as she remembers.

But at least it's not in person, so she doesn't need to smack him in the face to avoid a potention dive bomb to her breasts.]

No thanks.

[ :) ]

(i rly am.........)

[loudmouths]

[ sasuga, matsumoto. but keigo still looks a little Hurt by the rebuff. ]

A-are you sure?! There's a lotta weird things out there!!

[ not that... matsumoto can't handle it, anyway. keigo knows well enough that she's strong... ]

I can at least guide you around!! Show you some sights and stuff!!

There's alcohol, my lady. If you need someone to direct you to it...

[titillation]

[Hey... You buying... Can you be conned in to buying...]

It's Rangiku, and thank you!

[offshoots]

[I mean, she is more than welcome to try. they can work something out...]

Aah, Lady Rangiku. No problem, no problem. Are you looking for a pub, then?

[halforc]

[ Oh, she's. Beautiful. Also in distress but making his lips twitch as he watches her huff and puff about it. ]

I haven't heard of a drink called sake before but I know where you can get a decent drink.

[titillation]

[And doesn't she know it.]

Oh~? Where, and what?

[halforc]

[ Ahem, why is he straightening up where he's sitting. ]

There's a club called Tourmaline, best cocktails on its level and in the whole city, some of them have ... complicated effects, but it's all in good fun.
