Gentle strumming. [Pvt]

"I'll take two please."

Alrich said as he handed the man running the vendor he always visited every so often the Yen required for his purchase. Red bean Imagawayaki. The bount found no one who could make it better in Karakura Town. And to think, it was just some third rate vendor as well. The way the world works sometimes could just be fascinating. Thanking the vendor owner again Alrich made his way down the street while at the same time making his way through his bean filled pancake like snack. Today had been good thus far. He did not die, and he had not ran into any Shinigami yet either. And on a even better note, Tyr has not brought his day down as well. With a pleasant smile on his face he continued down the busy street until he came upon a younger female playing a guitar.

She was pretty good, and not bad looking either. Standing quite a bit away from where the girl was set up, the music made him reminiscence about the old days. The really old ones, from back before he was turned into what he is now. His sister used to play music. As he stood there, soaking in the music he decided to give the girl a tip. But as he made his way through the crowd to place the rest of what Yen he had in his pocket, time froze. Like literally.

A dark figure moved though the frozen in time mass of people, randomly touching one with a long and slender arm. Those who were touched seem to be sparked ablaze by a white fire, but they were not burned. Instead after a moment they seemingly vanished as if they were burned up. The figure took its time as it looked each and every individual it came across over, before either touching them or moving on. Before too long, the figure had touched both Alrich and the girl playing the guitar. Once this was done the figure stopped for a moment and looked around, as if it were making sure it checked everyone within the area before it too, burst into white flames and were gone. As time started again Arich found himself in a somewhat familiar place, but was in a moment of shock as he watched his Yen float down into a mass of nothing but white sand.

He and the others had been transported to Hueco Mundo.
