[Adstringendum, meet Hino Rei.

She is taking none of your shit today.]

Everyone who is being affected by whatever is coming over from the other city needs to speak up and say who they are now before it spreads -- that's anyone who has been bitten, anyone who has so much as been touched by these things.

If you don't say anything, then we can't help you.

To anyone who's a new arrival -- stay inside and don't get in the way.

[Speak now or forever hold your damn peace.]

[You know, just when she was idly thinking to herself she hasn't seen you in awhile, you have to go and remind her that she hasn't had a headache in awhile, too.]

You know what I mean, Toushirou.

I do.

[It's his extra special way of saying he misses you too, Rei.]

[You're lucky she knows that, because she has little to no patience today, so you're saved the irritable 'if you have nothing helpful to say, shut up', and instead get a:]

Have you seen these things?

[She's been good and has stayed away from the wall.]

I've seen them.

[Gotten close? No. He was looking from over ten meters in the air. He's good too.]

[She can always count on you to not do stupid things, Hitsugaya, except when you do.]

They seem to be sticking to the other city, for the most part... but the more people that get bitten, the worse it's going to get over here, especially if people don't realize they've been bitten or infected.

I doubt the problem is that they don't realize it.

[You don't get bit and not notice, okay? Unless you're Zaraki.]

People are stupid, Toushirou.

[... he's right, but she's not going to say that, come now.]

Besides -- Castiel said that the infection can spread through wounds, too.

Yes, they are.

[And it takes a special kind of stupid to get bit and pretend nothing's wrong afterward. Nevermind that there is a large possibility he'd do just that in that situation. That doesn't count because he's not in that situation!]

Wonderful. [Sarcasm. If you couldn't tell.] A man by the name of Duroc is documenting the infected.

[Rei knows perfectly well that you would be that idiot who wouldn't say anything, alright. But Hitsugaya sounds okay and she's pretty sure she'd be able to tell if something was wrong, so -- ]

Yeah, I saw.

[With the slightest cheek-twitch and irritation in her tone, because the documentation was organized after Rei voiced her concerns about knowing who the affected are -- but she supposes big male authority figures get paid more attention than teenagers in skirts.

Besides, it's getting done. Being irritated over something silly like her pride is so not the concern here.]

[The silly part is less her pride and more that she is actually being paid a lot more attention than Duroc.]

Holding out a list won't stop it.

[Rei doesn't think that way, hush.]

No, it won't. But knowing who's infected and who isn't will help contain it.

The only way to stop it is to stop the infection altogether.

[And Rei is not going to slaughter zombies like some mindless action hero.]

But I don't even know if that's possible -- and we can't stop people from going over to Veles. They might have friends and family in that world that they haven't seen in years, no one is going to turn down the opportunity to try to check it out.

[For a moment, his thought process leads him down the old "of course we can stop people from going" road, but he pushes the thought aside as soon as it comes.]

Then you're suggesting quarantine.

[...It worked on him.]

It's either that or people die.

[Rei is normally not this blunt, but -- well. She's tired of events killing people and Hitsugaya, of all people, will understand.]

Any shinigami at least should be capable.

Are you volunteering?

[She isn't going to ask the people who put Hitsugaya in a box -- not unless Hitsugaya declines.

Besides, Rei dislikes this lack of self-confidence, it's not a fitting look for you, bb.]

If necessary. Unohana, Urahara, and Hinamori have stronger kidou ability.

Unohana-san will probably be busy all week with healing alone... but the more people working on this, the better off we'll be.

Of course.

Good! So let's start now -- we can't do anything unless we know what we're working with. Want to take a trip to the wall with me?

[She's going to coax you into making yourself useful, Hitsu. Let's go rebuild that confidence of yours. Besides, Usagi is at the clinic, so she's safe.]

I'll be there shortly.

[It's not like he really has anything else to do.]

Great. See you soon, then.

[She sounds pretty pleased. She misses you, stupid.]

Mm.

[And he misses ~~her too~~ being able to do things, so it's win-win.]

Cheer up, Toushirou, it isn't every day you get to stop a zombie invasion.

[:T]

[And he promptly hangs up.]

[Excellent, you are feeling better.

Coordinates are sent. They are almost certainly laughing at you.]
