To the average Human, she was invisible. She wouldn't go so far as to say non-existent, because if she bumped into them, she could very well knock them over. She existed, but was more like the wind than a random face in the crowd. To the spiritually aware Human, she was a freak with a skull on her head, but if they said anything about it, they were seen as a freak by the average human, as she could not be seen by any of them. She didn't mind. She'd been alone so long, it didn't truly phase her. However, she knew better than to let her guard down. Nelliel may be many things, but stupid wasn't one of them. She knew Shinigami were active in the World of the Living, ESPECIALLY in this little town. All she had to do was keep her Spiritual Pressure hidden, and constantly be aware of the Shinigami presence in this world, and she'd be fine.
What she couldn't notice, however, was a Shinigami that was capable of hiding their Pressure. She was being followed, but she couldn't sense them. Unlike the other Shinigami she had searched for and found, this one wasn't stupid enough to make alot of noise, cause a scene, or make themselves known in any way. It was one of the elite task force, investigating the opening of the Garganta recently. It hadn't taken them long to find her, happening upon her as a somewhat spiritually aware Human had made a scene about some "freaky little goth chick with a skull on her head", and noticed she seemed to be invisible to everyone but that man and himself. The Shinigami was ready. Pounce without a sound. No Pressure, no Sound, no mistakes. Just one quick slash, and she'd be done.
He lunged, moving rather quickly, flying through the air towards her, unsheathing his Zanpakuto and attacking her from behind. Hearing his sword scrape the inside of the sheathe, Nel turned and raised her arm, blocking his attack. "I should have figured I couldn't avoid being seen by all of you Shinigami. I had expected to avoid you all a little longer, though." She said, sighing. It was time to explain herself. "You should know better, Arrancar. The Soul Society knew of your presence when the Garganta opened. I was sent to make sure it wasn't a Menos or one of the remaining Espada." She shook her head. "No. Just a lowly Arrancar." No point letting him know of her former Espada status. That could incite another attack, and she wanted to avoid fighting.
"So I take it the Soul Society will want me taken in, question my purpose for being here, et cetera et cetera et cetera?" She inquired, though she knew better than to hope this could end without confrontation. "No. My orders were to investigate the Garganta's last location, discover what came through, kill any Hollow, Arrancar, or Espada that could have come through, bring back information if something other than that came through." "Well we have a problem then, don't we? I do not want to fight you. I have no reason to fight with you. I am not here to-" She was cut off when he lunged at her, swinging his Zanpakuto towards her face. 'So much for that...' She thought to herself, letting air out through her nose. "I do not want to kill you. But I will defend myself, even if it costs you your life." She warned, not threateningly, but with conviction in her voice.
"A lowly Arrancar couldn't kill me. I am one of the Stealth Force. I will take you down with ease." He barked back, releasing his Shikai. His sword transformed, creating a questionmark shape. Without offering any insight to his weapon, or what it could do, he attacked again. 'So he is good at keeping his attacks secret so his opponent doesn't know what to expect. It's a shame, such a promising man, and his life will have to end here. I don't know if I will be able to pull my attacks enough to merely knock him out, I fear he may just dodge all my attempts. If I don't attack with all my strength, he might actually kill me.' She analyzed, watching his movements. He definitely wasn't a bad fighter, but if she took this fight seriously, he would be killed quickly. Using her flash step, she sidestepped his attack, reaching back with one hand, and launching her fist, connecting, hard, with his temple. She heard the sickening crack of his skull collapsing under the pressure, and felt his skull cave in slightly, as well as his jaw unhinging from his resting place. It sickened her to feel and hear such an injury. As he went down, she let out the breath she didn't know she'd been holding.
Her flareup of Spiritual Pressure was sure to attract others. She withdrew a page from her book and wrote out a message. Please do not send others. I do not mean this world harm, and I am truly sorry for this mans death. He died an honourable death. I do not want to kill anyone more, this one death on my conscience is enough. She rolled him onto his back, placing his hands over his chest in a mummified fashion, closed his eyes, and placed the paper between his hands. Then she used Sonido, and vanished from the spot, traveling to the edge of town, hiding herself in a building still under construction, waiting for the Spiritual Pressure within the town to die down so she wouldn't risk being discovered.

Priscilla AppearancePriscilla, Conscero of Charity, was currently scouting the town, making sure that all was currently safe in Karakura. A flare of reiastu was felt, and she was the most sensitive of Conscero to these things. Keeping her reiastu personally suppressed at all times, due to the nature of her fullbring. Letting out just a bit of her reiastu her eyes turned from a deep brown to a light gold. She instantly caught the reiastus of both an Arrancar and a Shinigami has she pulled at the soul of the ground and was instantly leaping up onto a building as she quickly ventured forth. Hoping to stop what ever was currently happening. In pursuit with her was two proxies, which had accompanied her on this mission around Karakura. Within minutes they dropped along side the body of a Shinigami. Despite the fact his skull had caved in slightly, and it appeared his jaw had unhinged, his breathing was shallow. Shinigami bodies were more resilient than one thought, and he was lucky to be alive in the current condition that he was. She ordered the two proxies to carefully pickup the body, and take it back to the Vatican for healing.
As she quickly pulled at the ground again and was in quick pursuit of the person who was steadily moving fast away from the scene of the crime. It was almost pointless at this moment in time for the person to be running, and it felt like an Arrancar because of the reiastu. Keeping hot on her tail to the edge of the town the Arrancar's reiastu suddenly disappeared, but she had already discerned in the general area she was. Spying a building that was still under construction she entered it. Her tattered cloak whipping around her body, the commoners clothes underneath not signifying her rank what so ever. From the mere appearance of her and the kind of reiastu she was letting off she seemed severely weak. She was a master of reiastu tracking, and suppression, and due to the nature of her birth her reiastu was extremely malevolent in nature. Causing most to either recognize her as a hollow or an Arrancar. Moving into the building she kept he small amount of reiastu coursing through her body, her golden eyes piercing the darkness of the building.
"Hello? I am not here to harm you. I am not a Shinigami as you can tell, just feel my reiastu to know that is true." She asked out, almost in a small voice, but it was amplified by the emptiness of the room. Standing in one spot, she slowly sat down on her bottom, the tattered cloak flowing out around her as she closed her eyes, crossing her legs Indian style in the process. Even though she had her eyes closed she could still see the world around her through the reiastu of the objects. "I am unarmed, and weak as you can see. I just want to talk." She said calmly again, as her breathing started to become more even, and she sat there relaxed and calm, awaiting for the Arrancar being to come forth and reveal him or herself.HAN: 20 REI :20 HAK: 15 SEI: 20 BUK: 15 HOH: 15 Total points: 105

Her senses told her the woman wasn't lying, but she still wasn't convinced. "And what would it be that you want to hear from me?" She asked, keeping herself relatively hidden, allowing her voice to echo around the building by speaking in different directions. She could sense the woman had a small amount of Reiatsu, but her Reiatsu felt... evil. More mindless Hollow, and less Shinigami. With that in mind, she was either a weak Hollow with a highly arrogant attitude, or she was able to compress her power to the point she came across as weak, when in reality, her power could very well rival, or even surpass, her own.
"Given that I've seen Zanpakuto of all shapes and sizes, I would say claiming you're unarmed would not particularly convince me you were, but even if you were telling the truth, that doesn't mean you are helpless in a situation." She added, keeping her senses on locating the other Spiritually Sensitive beings in this world and making sure they weren't too close. She sat down against a girder, keeping her senses sharp in case the woman moved towards her location.

Priscilla AppearanceShe could hear her voice echoing from all parts of the building as she asked her why she wanted to hear from her. Although she had an idea from the general area that she was in. Still, sitting there, in her calm position, she listened to the voice from what she could now discern was a female Arrancar. Thinking back to the Shinigami they had faught who had his Shikiai released before he was knocked unconscious she could discern that this Arrancar was more powerful than even a Shinigami who had a Shikai released. What really worried her was why the woman hadn't opened a gargantua back to her home, it would of been the simplest thing to do to escape the pursuit of anyone who was after her. The woman spoke up again, saying she had seen zanpaktou of all shapes and sizes. "Ah, you are in fact right, Miss Arrancar. How about I get something straight with you." She said, as she suddenly shifted from her position, and now stood on her feet, as she started to walk around the complex.
'I am a Fullbringer. I extremely dislike killing people under any circumstance. I'd much rather befriend them if that is at all possible. I especially adore Arrancar, because I feel we are much closer in reiastu presence than I am with fellow Fullbringer." She spoke in a matter of fact way. As she continued to walk around the large space of the construction site. Letting out a yawn as she did so. "I find it suspicious Arrancar that you do not just open a portal back to your own realm, although judging from the letter you left on the mans body maybe you don't have a home to go back to." She said as she continued to walk around the complex, her voice growing more bored by the second. "The truth of the matter is, that really, I could find you easily. A flare of my reiastu, an ability or two of mind and I could quite easily bring this whole building down if I so desired..... I am also the best tracker the Conscero has, so, there is really no point in running." She stifled out another yawn, as she finally sat down on a bench, and examined some of the tools that had been left on it from who had ever worked here last.
Her legs kicked back and forth as her golden eyes pierced the darkness of the room as she looked back and forth. Even up into the depths of the building since a good portion of the floors were still missing their much needed planks. "It'd be much appreciated if you came out, so we could talk about this woman to woman. I care not about the injuring of the Shinigami, but I do care why a somewhat powerful Arrancar is running around trying to avoid detection. Or so it seems." She said, letting out another loud yawn as she was already getting quite bored of the stand off between the two.HAN: 20 REI :20 HAK: 15 SEI: 20 BUK: 15 HOH: 15 Total points: 105 Link to Profile

 Nel was still wary of the woman, but if she already knew of the Shinigami and apparently found him alive, then she may have been premature in just dismissing him as dead. Good. She was glad he had more gumption than she had originally given him credit for. He deserved a medal, if Shinigami gave such things. Stepping out from behind a girder, she stood on a slight shelf, her arms crossed over her chest, looking down towards the woman in question. Dropping lightly to the level below, she approached the woman, cautiously. "I hide my Spiritual Pressure because I don't need attention from those wishing to kill my kind without questioning for motives. As an Arrancar, and especially as a former Espada, I'm not exactly high on the Shinigami welcome list. The less attention I attract, the less of that Shinigami's situation I am responsible for. I am glad, however, to hear he is still alive. His will to live was greater than I had expected." She took a deep breath in, and then exhaled. "So what is it you want of an Arrancar. I do not believe many wish 'friendship' with my kind, and those that do are usually more foolish than they're given credit for. Though I suppose it wouldn't be the first time anyone foolish has surprised me" She added, remembering back to Ichigo, who had still treated her like the little Nel he'd first known, even after finding out she was a former Espada, and was loyal to Lord Aizen. |

Finally, after waiting a minute or two, and a few more yawns spilling from her lips the Arrancar decided to reveal herself. A quite busty one at that, with long what she would say, teal hair and a literal skull cap on her head. In this light she couldn't exactly make out the design of her clothes, but in all honest that really wasn't important at that moment. The Arrancar looked down on her only briefly, and she looked up, finally she had dropped a level and approached her. Tilting her head slightly she listened to her speak. Hearing how she was a former Espada, and she didn't make any reaction to that notion. Still listening to her, watching her stop for a brief minute as she took a deep breath in and then started to speak again. The Arrancar in question asking her what she wanted of an Arrancar, and speaking a few other things that she rolled her eyes visibly at. "You know, your tone of voice, the air around you, I bet you believe, your stronger than me." She said, standing up as she stood somewhat more level to the Arrancar.
"And what if I do want to make friends with you? Would you call me foolish if I wanted too? If only you could see the extent of my powers, you would quickly stop labeling me human, and the deeper I dived into my powers, I'd feel more and more just like you." She said, her gold eyes piercing the darkness as she looked right at the woman. "Now, the fact of the matter is, if you didn't want attention, than you wouldn't be walking in open places with hundreds of people, even if you were concealing your spiritual pressure, you are a pure oddity. You would take back alley's, roof tops, places where you can't be as easily spotted." She said, as she started to circle around the Arrancar, keeping her distance, her golden eyes remaining fixated on the big. Not a tremble in her voice, or in her step, she wasn't afraid. She could detect her movements with ease, and dodge them with ease if it came to confrontation.
"I am a high ranking member in an organization known as Conscero. We are higher than the Shinigami here, and you were causing quite the ruckus with that Shinigami. Although, unlike the Shinigami I don't attack and ask questions later." She said, stopping for but a brief moment, as she then continued to circle the Arrancar."I would like to know why you are here, and your motives while you are here. While most of us won't readily accept your kind, I do, and my word holds a lot of power in Conscero, especially because of my rank. She said with a small smirk on her face, her eyes wide, and appearing more hollow like than ever. "And yes, I do have that same air around me i said you do, because, I am stronger than you. Now, explain your motives, because trust me, I won't be as easy to take down as that Shinigami, and even then I won't kill you, cause I hate... hate hate hate hate.. killing people." She could not put enough emphasis on that fact. Hoping that this would not result in blood shed, or the death of the Arrancar. Just trying to get her motives, see what she was doing her, although from what Priscilla could see she appeared to be good since she had not attacked her yet, that and paired with the fact that she just wanted to be left alone also seemed to be a good sign. "You can also call me Priscilla, if you so desire." She quickly added, now waiting for a response from the Arrancar, as she had completed one full circle around her before stopping in her original spot.

She shook her head. "There isn't one occasion where I stated nor implied I was stronger. I know for a fact that you aren't revealing your full power to me, and for me to assume either one of us is stronger than the other without seeing the full extent of your power would be dangerous and stupid on my part. I am cautious, not arrogant." She said, her voice never raising or lowering in any emotional way. "As for whether or not you would be foolish to make friends with an Arrancar, we attract alot of unwarranted attention, and are always being hunted. Anyone who would willingly put their life in danger for any situation would be foolish, but whoever said foolish is always a bad thing?" She continued. She didn't bother addressing the misguided idea that this woman had of her believing this woman was Human, as the subject hadn't even been brought up until just then. "Just because I'm trying to avoid attention doesn't mean I'm not fascinated by the things the Humans have created. This is my first trip to the Living World, and I plan to enjoy my stay. You may think I'm here for some dark motive, some violent means, but the fact of the matter is, I am tired of sand and crystal trees. I'm tired of perpetual darkness and the vast expanse of nothing that Hueco Mundo has to offer. I am not here to do anything but find an old friend. I don't even know why, but considering I am lacking in that field, That means I either stay in Hueco Mundo living the same droll lifestyle, or I come here in search of Ich- of my friend..." She stressed may to show she wasn't assuming, but addressing the situation should it so be the case, and avoided mentioning Ichigo's name in case someone reported back that he was friends with a former Espada and was labeled an enemy. "And as I already said... I am tired of the blood that must be spilled by Hollows and Arrancar because they're all trying to prove to the others that they're the strongest and should be King of Hueco Mundo. So I have come here." She moved to a girder and sat. "At least we have that much in common. Neither of us wants to shed any blood." She added, taking a deep breath and letting it out slowly. The air to her tasted weird. Less blood and sweat from constant battles like Hueco Mundo's air. It was more... clean. |

It was a pleasure to see that this woman actually had some sense around her. Although her stating of what beings friends with an Arrancar was were not too far from the truth. At the same time there wasn't much that the Obelisk of Charity had to fear, except the Sins of course. Then she continued to listen to the Arrancar and the reason why she was here and they were very plusable reasons. That she just wanted to visit the human world, that she was tired of Huceo Mundo and she was looking for an old friend here also. Further mentioning that she was tired of all the in-fighting, and blood being spilled. It was a good thing too, the Arrancar did not seem like a threat to humans. She then decided to talk down, glad to see that either of the people here did not want to shed blood, as she took a deep breathe and let it out slowly. Running a hand across her face as she tried to think of ways to make the Arrancar's stay here easier. "I am trying to think of a way to make your stay here easier. I would like to stay your familiar with Conscero but that would be assuming too much." She said as she paused for a moment, looking this way and that before focusing eyes back on here. "Conscero, is the governing body in this world, we are above Soul Society here. I am one of the seven guardians of this world, and it is my duty to make sure the peace is kept. Whether it be from Arrancar or from Shinigami, my duty is still the same." She said, her voice full of justice as her back went a little straighter and she continued to stare the woman down.
"I would like it, that while you stayed here, if you could, perhaps wear a cloak or some sort, or perhaps a shawl? Maybe even a hat large enough to fit over your cap? I can also give you a cellular device with a few hundred prepaid minutes, encase you ever need my help. I would much like it, that even if you are provoked again by a Shinigami that you do not kill him. That Shinigami you almost killed was far weaker than you were, from what I can tell. I would like to keep the blood shed of this area to hollows only, since they seem like the only mindless beings that cannot listen to reason. You can listen to reason, and so can the Shinigami, and as long as Conscero is around, I will keep both in line if I have too." She said, as she now turned her back to the Arrancar, looking up into a window as a stream of light peered through it as the sun shifted in the sky. The light falling over her body and embracing her as she gently hugged herself. "Do the terms see fair to you? If you accompany me I will go purchase the device I was speaking of so you can contact me within minutes of any confrontation." She asked, her head gently shifting to the left, than to the right, as it straightened and she let out a young yawn. Hoping the woman seemed it was fair that she tried to hide herself a little better while she stayed here in the human world.

She nodded as she listened. So these were almost the equivalent to gods in the Soul Society. She had been right to assume the woman telling her she was weak was a lie. She was glad, though, that she was above Soul Society. It meant she could, in fact, call some of the shots, rather than trying to be nice, and then being told by the higher ups that she was to just outright kill Nel. "A cloak sounds fine. I don't think a hat would fit over the skullcap anyways, and even if it did, it would probably make it look as though I have a misshapen head." She listened as she was told about cell phones. "I see. That sounds good, though I'm sure the increase in spiritual pressure would alert you just as well as that device, it sounds like a safer bet to just call you, rather than come off as intimidating or antagonizing." She added, stretching out her back and shoulders. She still needed to find Ichigo, but she might not even get the chance until tomorrow. Karakura Town might have been a smaller place than any location in Hueco Mundo, but it was still a large place to be looking for once specific person. Perhaps if she widened it to find that girl who had traveled with him. She could ask that one where Ichigo was. "So, shall we get moving, then? It would seem as though I am in luck. I won't have to lift a finger to fight against someone as long as I can call you and clear things up." 'Which should also speed up my search, and let me focus more of my attention on finding Ichigo. Perhaps I should flare out my power, so he senses it and comes running to discover its source...' She dismissed the idea quickly. It wasn't a sure thing that he would show up first, and doing something so foolish as to outright reveal her presence wouldn't exactly make this Conscero woman happy about her decision. She remained silent after that, making up her mind to search on foot and over rooftops to see if she could spot him. |

Priscilla turned around to focus her attention back on the Arrancar as she was speaking. Saying that a cloak sounded fine, and that was reassuring. Also glad to see that the Arrancar was reasonable and that what she said had seemed fair to her. Then she mentioned the talk of the cell phone, and it seemed that the Arrancar also liked the idea of that device as well. She watched as the woman stretched out her back and shoulders. Asking a minute or so later if they should get moving. "Yes, that is my intention. You can call me, if you ever get into a fight again and I can be there in minutes with back up. I intend to keep the peace here, especially if you have no intentions of causing a ruckus while your hear. So, please, follow me." She said as she turned around, and at first walked out of the building. Then she started to run, keeping the pace quick, but slow enough for the Arrancar to follow. As she first ran across ground but then jumped on top of a building. Since that would be much quicker travel, as she started to jump building to building. Occasionally looking back to make sure the Arrancar was there.
Within minutes they came to a store and she dropped into the alley beside it, as she started to speak to the Arrancar as she walked into the store. Going straight to the section with the pre-paid cell phones. "Now, after we purchase this, I'll tell you how to use it. This store also has a clothing section, go find something to wear that makes you a little less.. inconspicuous. I'd really like to keep Karakura peaceful, and like I said earlier, we can't have almost dead Shinigami on the streets. Who knows, the spiritual pressure flares could of brought hollow looking for a meal, or if he did die... even more Shinigami, possibly even Quincy. So, I hope we can keep everything, peaceful here." She said, as she followed the Arrancar over to the clothing section, giving her time to look through the clothing to buy something. "I will purchase what ever you need, all in good faith that your good while you stay here." She said, the smallest of smiles coming to her face, although she showed no teeth when she smiled.

Nodding, Nel followed the woman, making sure to keep up. As they stopped at a cell phone shop, she looked at the small devices. [green]"Alright."[/green] She said, as she moved towards the clothes section. She picked out a cloak, black, with no designs on it at all, as well as a pair of jeans, blue, with bedazzled heart on the left back pocket. The shirt was a little harder to find, as there were many she just didn't understand. After rifling through three separate shirt racks, she finally found one. It had a small animal on the front, with its hip cocked to the side in attitude. She had a need to get out of her other outfit while she was at it. She made sure she had the three items, before heading back to Priscilla, ready for the runthrough of how to use the tiny device she was being bought. [green]"I found a couple things so I fit in a little better around here. Won't the humans not even noticing me be a slight giveaway, though? I mean, if people run into me and can't find what they bumped into, or is someone noticed me but his friends couldn't see me, wouldn't that alert any Shinigami paying even the slightest bit of attention to my presence? What if, like the previous Shinigami, they don't give me a chance to explain anything or even dial your number?"[/green] She asked, running a few scenarios over out of concern for them and her mission to find Ichigo. |

Priscilla watched Nel as she picked out a few things in the clothing section. A cloak, a pair of jeans, a shirt, and she headed back to Priscilla once she had gotten all the items. Nel returning back to her speaking of the few things that she got to better fit in. After everything was said and done from Nel she sighed. Grabbing the items and paying for them as they headed to a changing room. Priscilla somewhat pushing Nel into one and closing the door as she handed her the items. Leaning against the wall beside the door of the changing room she started to speak. "This device, literally, all you have to do, is press one and then the send button and it will almost instantly call me from anywhere in Karakura and even outside of it. The fact of the matter is people will notice you and not notice you no matter what. The best thing you can do is fit in as best as you can and avoid confrontation."She said, as she gave a light cough for speaking again. "If you have to, and you do come into contact with another Shinigami I know you are a lot stronger than most, and can easily run from them if you have to, but before you do, be sure to mention that you are under the protection of Conscero if anything. They will deffinately get the picture then." She grinned, even though Nel could not see it.
The Shinigami knew that the Conscero had been around for centuries. That their leader was extremely powerful and that they held a high level if influence, members, and followers to their cause. On earth they were the leading organization against hollow and anything that would harm human and human-like beings. They had a much larger network of members guarding the other areas of the world that could be called to Karakura within a moments notice ready for a war. Even Priscilla stepped out of Japan often to visit other countries to make sure that their hollow populations were kept low and that things were running smoothly. As long as this Arrancar mentioned Conscero in any advanced conversations with Shinigami it was more than likely they would back of. "You can even mention me by name, maybe they will know it. Something along the lines of. During my stay here I am under the protection of Conscero, specifically the Obelisk of Charity, any fights with me you are also starting with her." She said, nonchalantly. Hoping that the Arrancar was listening to this as she changed.
