Evita shook her head. “Fair’s fair,” she declared, standing up. Her eyes glittered as she joined Sojiro at the sink and began to wash her dishes. She’d pried into his head, he could ask this. And maybe, it would help.

She turned off the water. “I don’t know where I fit now after coming back here after the war.”

“What do you mean?” Sojiro asked, still standing nearby.

She didn’t look at him, just focused on the bubbles in the sink. “The gods sent me back here, yet I carry my father’s blood. But am I still his- Aizen’s daughter if coming bak makes me feel better than anything else since my mom’s death? Even if no one says anything about it, does it make me a failure like my half sister?”

“No one’s a failure,” Sojiro replied quickly. When she glared at him for interrupting, he raised his hands. “Sorry.”

I’ll wait, whispered from his mind.

Evita ignored the dull hubbub. She set the bowl and spoon in the rack and walked back over to her seat, bringing one leg up to rest her arms on. “Something in me broke when I was taken at the start of the war, and other parts about me changed as soon as my mom died. Because of me.”

“It wasn’t-” Sojiro started speaking again, but this time shut up.

Did she stop him? She didn’t care. Evita wrapped her arms around herself, looking at the floor from her half-curled position, not sure why she wanted to continue talking now that she had started. Even when it prodded at a weak spot inside her.

She hated showing weakness…

“In Las Noches, when I finally emerged from my room there, Aizen- Father told me to choose my place. Back then, I wanted to erase what happened so I moved forward. But I knew it wouldn’t matter.” She paused. “Something in that realm called to me… but I knew if I answered, it would destroy me. The strength I should have had in that place was gone. I had no answer. For me, Mom…. Ichi, or Father.”

Evita, you’re not alone.

She closed her eyes, calling herself all different sorts of idiots for going on like this, especially when she could hear more than her own thoughts. Maybe she enjoyed pain…

“I didn’t belong there, but I should have, and I don’t know what happened to break my connection. Is it because Ichi and Mom raised me? Or was that what I lost when I was broken?”

Sojiro listened, not trying to interrupt again after the sharp pinch in his head that stopped him the second time. He didn’t know what to say, but he still wanted to help. He couldn’t go ask his mother for help now. If he left the room to get anyone, Evita would probably stop talking. And if he told anyone else, maybe that would be betraying her trust. He grimaced, recalling that he was currently sending more thoughts than usual to his cousin. He tried to focus on his breathing and her words, nothing else.

More words and feelings echoed up from the direction of Sojiro as she spoke, but this time, it was as if they were far away or under water, faded impressions she could reach for more details if she focused on them. The connection was falling back to the usual background Evita dealt with when talking with anyone.

Good.

She sat up again and looked to her cousin. His worry projected from his mind. But the layers were gone. Feeling raw but also weirdly lighter, she fixed Soji with a faint smirk.

“You know most of these details wouldn’t have bothered me years ago,” she admitted. “I liked being different. It made everything more interesting. More fun. Now,” she shrugged, “something new is stirring inside me, and Primera’s words won’t leave me alone. All these details won’t leave me alone, and I realized that I want to have a place where I belong.”

“And taking Aizen’s out of your name may help?”

She huffed and straightened up from her position, slipping off the chair. “Maybe. And maybe it would be running away, lying or taking the boring path. Just like that dumb school.”

Sojiro laughed, relieved at the abrupt change of subject. He reached up to rub the hair at the back of his neck. “Yeah, it’s a bit hard to adjust to school and normal life for me, too, and I used to love it.”

“Sucks to be you,” she retorted with a slight smirk.

“Why me?” he asked. “You’re the one calling it boring.”

Evita grinned wider. “Nope. I’m not hoping to rekindle some warm feelings when I’m there. For me, school’s a loud, annoying place with too many people and a litany of the same boring actions and conversations.”

“Hey, chemistry is fun,” Sojiro argued.

She tilted her head at him with a smile. “Really? When we have the lab here? and both of us can read Kisuke’s old notes?”

“We have to start from the basics to get anything big. That’s fundamental,” Sojiro argued.

Evita huffed. “If the fundamentals weren’t already a part of your head because someone else in the room already knows them, maybe so. They’re too much of the background information in a classroom for me for anything to be new and interesting.”

Sojiro sighed. “Okay, fair enough. Sorry for asking about that earlier. I didn’t mean to pry.”

“You asked.”

“And you’re in my head, I know,” Sojiro interjected. “But you don’t have to think of everything in terms of scales and balance. Friendship - family doesn’t work like that. You should know that. And what Stark said shouldn't change that."

Evita blinked, as if stumped, then folded her arms. “Well it’s gone.”

“What?”

“The connection, it’s not working anymore, so we don’t have to do anymore.”

Sojiro frowned at her. "Now you're missing the point."

Evita’s eyes narrowed. She rarely got called out like this, but her cousin still left the decision up to her. She could continue to walk away. She doubted he had all the answers besides his blind trust in family.

Did she have that? Could she develop that? And what did it mean?

Her expression turned pensive as she recalled the different sensations and words flooding into her during the connection. ….
She looked over to him, eyes glittering with greed.

Not sure he was going to like this question, Sojiro squared his shoulders. “Alright.”

“How do you feel about your family?”

It was Sojiro’s turn to blink, flummoxed. “What do you mean?I like my family.”

“All of it?” Evita probed, eyes narrowed and focused. “Even the fact that Ichimaru hurt your mom and that Vale nearly killed your dad to get to your mom, hurting her too?”

Face going white, Sojiro swallowed and looked at his feet.

Evita frowned, her gut twisting. She still wanted that reply, but for the first time, she decided to ignore the obsessive whisper to get to her goal. "Sorry... I forgot."

Sojiro released a long sigh. “It’s alright. I started this. Talking is easier than waiting in silence like I’ve done in the past, and I’m the one who brought up the tricky questions first. If she wasn’t back there bleeding…”

Again.

Maybe he could answer her with as much determination as usual.

He ran a hand through his silver hair, weary of all the twists put on them all since before he was born but that he was always a part of since his father’s awakening had set off a chain of events and grueling challenges. When he was no longer just a listener of the stories.

He needed another distraction.

“Let’s play Chinese checkers.”

His cousin regained her grin. “Okay then. Don’t blame me if you lose.”

Sojiro shook his head. “No, it’s time I win." He hesitated. "Hey, Vita?”

“What now?”

“You know that Aizen’s here tonight right?”

“Yes, I know.” She reached up to rub at the scar on her left ear. “It’s not the first time either." She rolled her eyes. "He's always gone before I recognized the feeling though."

He filed that piece of information away for later. He had had enough to worry about to think about it now. He pressed on. “Well, you can talk to him if you want. Kisuke and V are in the lab, and Ichigo’s only down the road.”

She glared at him. “I know all that. Stop dawdling so I can kick your ass!” She left before he could reply.

Sojiro paused to look behind him, towards his mother’s room, before he followed her out of the room. Later, he’d figure out why Kisuke wore such a tortured expression when they’d left the backroom. He didn’t have all the answers he wanted moving forward from this attack but he still needed his family whole. All of it. He could focus on learning his powers with that for now.

Shoutbox

Captain Toshiro Hitsugaya: If you're still here, I'm not quite sure what you considered to be "hostile". Yes, Seto was being an ass because he's reacting in character, as we usually do in this box. However, your questions were confusing and didn't read as you wanting to join us. Nov 25, 2024 17:59:32 GMT -6

Captain Toshiro Hitsugaya: Instead of asking about who plays who and saying "there are no guidelines for characters" and "we're expected to read about canon divergence", you could have simply asked if the RP was closed or open to new RPers. Not all of us can read between the lines. Nov 25, 2024 18:02:50 GMT -6

Captain Toshiro Hitsugaya: *realizes this now looks weird being the only comments in the box* .... >.<" Nov 25, 2024 18:08:04 GMT -6

HZ: Can't really explain what I mean if my messages are purged. But I did ask, openly, about canons to find out who is active. There is a list of seated officers that doesn't include Captain Hirako Shinji, but the account exists. Nov 25, 2024 18:24:19 GMT -6

HZ: I didn't ask directly, because I assumed it was open. And while I understand "someone in character", was there any point to mock my words other than being an ass? Is that the energy this place is trying to go for? Nov 25, 2024 18:25:45 GMT -6

HZ: When I ask direct questions, about which canon claims are, I get told it's secret information. Nov 25, 2024 18:26:08 GMT -6

HZ: So I admit, my words are fucked because I was limited by 256 characters. Nov 25, 2024 18:26:31 GMT -6

HZ: I was genuinely interested. I was trying to understand how things worked, and I was trying to be polite about it. Nov 25, 2024 18:27:28 GMT -6

Seto Tetsuya: No one was mocking your words, kid. This character is an ass...To everyone. And, to answer your question, it's fairly late in the age of this RP to add new people. Especially since we're working to close the story. Nov 25, 2024 19:50:50 GMT -6

Captain Toshiro Hitsugaya: TBH, the forum doesn't state anywhere that we are an open RP, so there's no reason to assume that we are. And again, it's always best to ask before you assume. Us not posting who are what characters should be evidence enough that we are not an open RP. Nov 25, 2024 19:56:47 GMT -6

Captain Toshiro Hitsugaya: Some of our lists may be outdated because frankly there are more pages and threads on this forum than any human can count. Things tend to get lost and forgotten. But you can also tell which characters are used most by reading the RP. Especially recent RPs. Nov 25, 2024 19:57:57 GMT -6

Captain Ryo Hirabayashi: While we appreciate you reading along and wanting to participate, this is a closed RP. We're just a small group of friends having fun while having our madness on display for all to read. And, as Seto stated, we are coming to the end of the st Nov 25, 2024 19:58:19 GMT -6 *

Captain Ryo Hirabayashi: We tend to stay in character, even while interacting with those who read. Some of our characters are more abrasive than others. But...That's just the character. Seto is an ass. Koga will give you riddle after riddle. It's all in jest. Nov 25, 2024 20:01:49 GMT -6 *

Captain Ryo Hirabayashi: We've got some readers, such as Cora and the Hat, who created accounts but do not actually participate in our RP. Because they don't participate, they also don't know the BTS things of the RP. And, they were given the same answers when asked. Nov 25, 2024 20:06:13 GMT -6

HZ: Understood. Once again, sorry for intruding. Nov 25, 2024 20:49:36 GMT -6
