So I get we got plenty of urgent business to take care of what with...well, we live on the moon, bombs, wars, yadda yadda, but indulge me for a bit.

Everyone keeps talkin' about Halloween, yeah? An' it's about ghosts an' the departed...

So for Ghosts, those currently present that is, would this be like a second birthday? Y'know, as in gifts an' the like? Cause I could stand behind somethin' like that a hundred percent.

I'm in 155 if anyone's feelin' generous.

Whoa, whoa, slow down there.

Why all the questions?

[It could just be curiosity, but call him curious about his curiousity.]

[substitutable]

Because I'd like to know!

... I'm curious, actually.

[onehundredswords]

I guess that's fine.

Thinkin' it over, we got 13 divisions an' at least twenty formally ranked members in each, so that's at least 260 of us. But we got some unseated ones I can't account for, so it could be much higher even still.

Though my division never did no international work, I'm sure someone keeps an eye on all the rest. We send down some unseated folk to stay in the human world for a bit, keep an eye on things, an' noone ever even notices they're there.

[substitutable]

Your division, huh...

[Calming down, he takes a breath and lets it out in a long sigh.]

That's... definitely a lot. Did each division have something different to do?

[onehundredswords]

Hm? Some of 'em, if I recall. 2nd division were all assassins, 4th was medical, 9th spent a lotta their time policin' the place all the souls lived. 12th was research an' development...

Why, thinkin' of applyin'? You can be my lieutenant if you want.

[Is he serious.

We just don't know.]

[substitutable]

Probably won't be any good at it. I just got curious.

... It's not considered heaven, is it?

[onehundredswords]

No, it is! When Souls pass on, that's where they go. We got Hell too.

[substitutable]

... What's the difference between the two?

[onehundredswords]

Well, as much as Soul Society sucks, but compared to Hell it's a vacation.

That's where sinners go to suffer and toil for all of their misdeeds in life. I wouldn't recommend it.

[substitutable]

Um. I'll do my best.

What does it take to get there........?

[onehundredswords]

Murder, usually.

And a list of other things I don't want to corrupt your innocent young mind with.

[substitutable]

I don't think I'm that young or innocent I can't hear about that sort of stuff.

... What about if you took your own life?

[onehundredswords]

[...ugh.

He's making a mental note not to waste time being himself on Shintaro anymore, either the kid is too stupid or too serious.

Or both.]

Probably. I mean it's sorta like murder I guess?

[He has no clue.]

[substitutable]

... Huh.

[well fuck]

O-okay. Um, thanks. Sorry about asking weird questions.

[onehundredswords]

Friend of yours?

[substitutable]

[He pauses]

Yeah. And some more than that.
