{When the feed clicks on, there's a Togepi peering curiously at the screen. She trills, and picks it up awkwardly, giving the network a lovely view of Nanao's bare feet and ankles, which grow steadily larger as the little egg Pokemon toddles unsteadily towards her.}

Love, Kanra - I wonder what that's all about... Oh, hello there. {And suddenly we're flying through the aiiiir~ but not really, as Nanao gently sets the Togepi next to her on the piano stool. The 'Gear gets unceremoniously dropped, and the view changes to one through the open back door, where a Houndour is making a concerted effort to try to attack a laughing Alakazam, who is simply avoiding every single attack with ease.}

Yes, yes, I missed you too, Miki. {The Togepi squeaks happily, and Nanao laughs a little - and outside the noises of battling cease for a moment, as the Houndour starts to glow.} Huh?

{The Houndour grows bigger and bigger... and bigger still, until it finally stops, and the Pokedex goes 'ding', announcing the fact that 'your Shuuhei has evolved into a Houndoom'. But Nanao ignores that, and accidentally leans against some of the keys of the piano as she turns around properly to see out the door.}

. . . My dog has turned into a horse. I can't believe it. {Her Houndoom looks to be just as surprised, as he looks himself over in a state of shock, before something seems to click inside his brain, and he turns to face the Alakazam, who is simply standing there.}

{And then the giant canine leaps for the fox-like psychic, and Kiyone can't move fast enough to get away. There's a few moments of slack-jawed silence from Nanao, before she mutters something along the lines of "I can't believe I'm going to do this." and a familiar sounding piano tune starts up.}

{This is a wacky chase scene accompanied by the Benny Hill theme on the piano, Johto. You're welcome.}

{OMIGOSH this egg is the happiest egg ever. It is literally bursting out of it's shell with happiness.}

Sometimes I wonder what would have happened had they... not have happened.

[NO bursting, egg-buddy! Growlithe's just gonna be cuddling around you now, so enjoy all that warmth and fur. And lickings. Lots of lickings.]

Things would undoubtedly be different. I doubt we would have been prepared for what Aizen has done without experience in war. There might not have been anything left of the Seireitei without them.

[It's a sobering thought, truly.]

{Fuzzy warm softness - this egg in in heaven!}

You are quite possibly right. I.... no, you are right.

{She's still trying to process it in her own mind, and the conclusions that she's reaching are fairly horrible.}

[A heaven that isn't moving. Nope, not moving at all. Growlithe's just going to settle in for a nap, that's all.]

Without the previous wars, none of us would be ready. He could have wiped us out with a single attack and gone on to move his plans unhindered by any opposition. There's no telling what he might have done if that was the case.

[Aizen had been around during the wars, so he undoubtedly knew about strategy. Even if they hadn't happened, the older Captains knew things the younger generations didn't. If they turned that knowledge against an unknowing Seireitei....it's almost too horrible to think about. In a way, those wars saved them. Somehow.]

{Then they shall nap!}

You read my mind. I just... can't comprehend him. At all.

{In some horrible way, it all made perfect sense.}

[Napping! The perfect way to spend an afternoon while trainers talk.]

You're probably better off not even trying to. There are some things we'll never understand.

[That's what made it horrible. Nonsense could be laughed off, but actual sense? Not so much.]
