Well done Axel, it will take me days to properly heal these wounds. ~~Unless I can find a sufficiently strong life-force, that is.~~ Any fight that requires that long to recover from is a fight worth having, if you ask me. Do take care of that injury as soon as possible, severed limbs can be quite a nuisance to replace.

I apologize for missing our appointment Axel Almer, I stay in on curse days. Especially curse days like that one. ~~I spent the entire day fawning over my lightsaber. Disgusting.~~ Contact me if you still wish to fight.

Now that this place is no longer cursed, it's time to put things in motion.

[OOC: Bane will be skulking about the City today, being generally nefarious and committing random acts of violence (smashing windows, scaring people, and generally being an ass). If someone wants to volunteer to get beat up and/or scared out of their wits feel free, otherwise it'll mostly be directed at NPCs and such. :)

Oh and uh, strikes? What strikes?]

Thank you Eve, our duel was quite exhilarating, despite its briefness. The respite from the ticking and boredom was very refreshing, I look forward to the next time.

I see Aizen has returned, with no recollection of his time here. I suppose my little private war is no longer necessary, I can focus my attention on other things. Perhaps a little random chaos is in order. I'm sure I can stir something up.

I have not heard from Yuuji for some time. Perhaps that is for the best. He brought out unwanted emotions, made my connection to the Dark Side weaker. Though he was the only ally I had in this place who asked for nothing in return for his assistance. That will be missed.

I continue to stagnate in this place. With so many beings of equal, or, I will admit, greater power than I, attaining any sort of dominion over anyone is nigh impossible. I must be content to take what pleasures I can get, when I can get them, and hope at some point that I am taken from this dismal place and put back where I belong, training a new Sith apprentice and plotting the downfall of the Jedi. One can only hope. Perhaps taking an apprentice here would not be out of the question, though I am reluctant to do so after the last attempt ended... badly. Any candidates would have to be considered carefully.

Eve, I believe you and I have an appointment?

Ridiculous.

So Aizen is gone and there is a war brewing between the Shinigami and Arrancar.

Why do I get the feeling this is yet another false alarm?

Steps should be taken to insure that this war does not fizzle out the way the rest of them have, am I right?

2007-07-03T12:20:28Z

I don't know what this is, but it is simply divine.

So then, shall we develop a plan of attack or simply launch a frontal assault and hit it with everything we have?

Quite the little weather shift.

I sought out to teach an upstart girl a lesson in respecting the privacy of others, and came out with second-degree burns for my trouble.

I like this one.

There's something positively invigorating about working out in the freezing cold. Being forced to never stop moving, knowing that if one stops for too long one may never be able to move again. It certainly keeps the juices flowing. I believe I will do it again today, if this weather persists. It also helps keep the mind busy, away from distractions.

Oh and by the way, did you enjoy the show?

baneofmyexist @ 2007-06-25T09:51:00

2007-06-25T14:08:59Z

What a perfect day to be outside, with everyone huddled indoors because of the cold, there is no one to bother me if I feel the need to stretch my legs. As much as I enjoy the darkness of the underground, it is good to spend some time outside now and then. Especially on a cold day such as this. The cold forces one to stay active, to keep the blood flowing, lest one freezes to death. Perfect environment for a bit of weapon practice.

[OOC: So today Darth Bane will be finding a nice, secluded spot somewhere in the City with some space to maneuver and practicing with his brand-spankin' new two-bladed lightsaber, performing a kata or eight and such. Bother him at your own risk. ;) I will likely be posting a log just for the hell of it later, just as something to do. :P]

Wait... what's this? A suit of armor? I can hardly breathe in this, much less move...

OOC: Cursed? >)

It's always the same.

Every time I meditate, every time I immerse myself in the Dark Side, the vision returns. It shows me the most exquisite images, citizens of this accursed place writhing and screaming in agony, their very life forces being drained from their bodies. The sun is in full eclipse, buildings collapse, massive bonfires burn throughout the city, the clock ticks, the carousel turns, and the city's false gods are nowhere to be found. The city is transformed into a perfect representation of what I imagine Hell to be. And at the center of it all, a dark shape, with two points of glowing red light for eyes and a vaguely humanoid body, face unrecognizable behind the shroud of darkness around it.

But I know who the figure is. It can only be one man, the only one in this wretched city capable of wielding the Dark Side of the Force.

And then, in the vision, I see Yuuji. His still pregnant form is contorted in pain, and the look in his eyes... It is as if he has expected this, and the look is not one of terror, or confusion, or hate. It is a look of disappointment, but at the same time a look of acceptance, and... something else I can't identify. Compassion perhaps? In any case, the form in the vision cares nothing for the way he looks, and within moments Yuuji is as much a drained, lifeless husk as the rest of the City's denizens. Under normal circumstances I would care nothing for this event, in fact I would do everything I can to make sure that it happened. However circumstances are not normal. Ever since those days I spent devoid of the Force, a new emotion has burrowed it's way into my psyche, and has refused to yield; remorse. I feel guilty when I see Yuuji in that vision, killed in a terrible way. It is not constructive, it does nothing to help further my goals (which, in all honesty to myself, are unrealistic), it is merely a disgusting feeling that serves no purpose but to get in the way. And yet it is there. And there seems to be no easy solution, short of trading my memories away to the rulers of this place, something I would never seriously consider.

Perhaps with more meditation, a solution will present itself.

Another cultural curse. The watchers seem to be losing their edge.

baneofmyexist @ 2007-06-01T11:14:00

2007-06-01T15:12:15Z

Once again I have faced an Arrancar in battle, and once again I have proven myself the stronger. I believe I have made my point with this latest kill, no Arrancar would be stupid enough to face me after having defeated one of their Espada.

Cirucci, Yuuji is off-limits. If you harm a hair on his head, you will suffer pain the likes of which you have never experienced. And you will experience it for a very long time. I do hope you are foolish enough to ignore this, I would so enjoy torturing the life out of you.

Zaera-Polo, or however you spell your name these days, bravo. I could not have said it better myself, were our positions reversed. Perhaps someday they will be.

baneofmyexist @ 2007-05-29T08:33:00

2007-05-29T12:39:05Z

I require several pieces of advanced technology and a specially designed crystal for construction of a weapon, is there anyone in the City who can provide such materials?

baneofmyexist @ 2007-05-28T10:50:00

2007-05-28T14:51:25Z

What a ridiculous curse. Hardly a test of one's power.

baneofmyexist @ 2007-05-26T22:43:00

2007-05-27T02:50:10Z

Major, the rest of you, if my vision is correct then my next fight with the Arrancar will be sometime within the next few days. If you wish to observe I suggest you be ready.

I believe I have trained long enough, it's time I made my presence known in the City again.

baneofmyexist @ 2007-05-21T12:37:00

2007-05-21T16:37:43Z

What a beautiful day. I believe I will go for a walk.

I assume one of your subordinates was observing the battle, what did he find?

baneofmyexist @ 2007-05-20T19:27:00

2007-05-20T23:53:56Z

Well that was disappointing to say the least, I expected far more of a fight from one of Aizen's minions. Perhaps I merely chose poorly.

No matter, I'm sure whoever comes along to avenge his death will make for a far more interesting duel.

baneofmyexist @ 2007-05-20T11:01:00

2007-05-20T15:04:40Z

Another day, another curse.

Major, the time has come. Have your minions ready with their equipment, if my vision was correct I will be engaging Tesla on the street today in the general 4:00 area of the City. I am not sure of the exact timing, so I suggest you have someone there as soon as possible. It will be a wonderful way to celebrate our return to our normal selves.

2007-05-17T15:48:24Z

Just a reminder that the final exam is tomorrow. For those of you inclined to procrastination in my class, this is for you. Normally I would simply allow you to fail, however it has come to my attention that poor performance in my class is a reflection upon my teaching ability as well as the student's ineptitude, as much as I may disagree with this view.

The final exam will consist of an essay, with topics assigned randomly. They will be graded on proper grammar and spelling as well as content, points will be taken off for typos, double negatives and the like. I expect you all to take everything you have learned in my class and apply it in the proper way (that goes double for you Aziraphale). There will also be an extra credit assignment, to be announced at the end of the exam.

Now that the insanity is over with, it's time to get back to business.

I have decided on my first target.

I believe the Arrancar called Tesla will be a good place to start, by all accounts he is one of the weaker Arrancar in the city (perhaps stronger than the one called Di Roy, but something tells me that one isn't even worth my time), and facing him in a direct confrontation will at least give me an idea of what I will be up against later. There is always the chance of interference, but Aizen seems universally loathed in this place (even by some of his minions), so I doubt anyone will care if one of his Arrancar were to be destroyed.

And if one of them happens by and decides to get involved, well, so much the better.

Major, I know how much you love to watch a good fight, and I do believe you have access to scanning equipment to measure energy levels and physical strength and such? I will provide you with a time and location of the upcoming duel, in exchange for whatever readings that equipment may record on Tesla. I'm sure you or your minions will be able to find a suitable place to observe without being noticed.

2007-05-09T16:40:56Z

What a strange day.

If someone else asks me if they can hold my lightsaber, I will show them the blade.

baneofmyexist @ 2007-05-08T01:00:00

2007-05-08T05:04:52Z

I require intelligence on the locations and activities of Aizen's Arrancar minions, if any of you have this information I would be very much interested in obtaining it.

It's time I showed that fool Aizen just what it is he has unleashed.

OOC: Bane's gonna go hunting, but uh... I need volunteers? :) If no one wants to plot with me I guess I could come up with something else but uh, this is what Bane would do in this situation. :/
