_{[Riddle me this, Vatheon; what's dead and is currently on his twenty-fifth pint of beer?

Grimmjow, that's who. He's vaguely aware of the SFC recording, but his attention is currently focused on something else (other than staring into said beer). After a few seconds of staring at nothing, he slowly turns his gaze to the blinking red light on the face of the communicator. He's not drunk, but he looks much calmer than he normally does which all things considered is a good thing.]}

Hn. The old man got me thinking... What do the living do for birthdays? 'n what if you can't remember how old you're supposed to be? What then? I don't mean it in the sense of not having any sense of time, I mean it--

_{[He looks down at his now-empty glass before he slaps the counter.]} Oi! Barkeep! Gimme another pint!

'Sir, I think you've had enou--'

Shaddup! Just gimme another one!

'Right away, sir.'

Feh... Can't even get drunk. _{[The arrancar pauses for a moment before he reaches to shut the SFC off with a faint scowl.]} Fuck it, this is stupid.

_[Click!]

You have had an orgasm before, haven't you?

...The hell is that look for?

_{[Which is code for "not in this lifetime".]}

Well, I sort of like you and it worries me if you haven't.

I know you have a gaping hole in your middle, but you do still have all the necessary equipment, right?

Worries you? Why?

Unless their hollow hole is where their junk is, most Arrancar do.

_{[He doesn't even want to know where Szayel's is in that case.]}

I don't know, it's this troublesome thing called empathy. You seem to be missing out on something very enjoyable, and I don't like it.

_{[He should be angry. He should be more than angry, but at most all he feels is a mild annoyance. It's a very good thing the alcohol in his system is keeping him calm or the poor bartender may have lost a few glasses.]}

...I don't need your pity.

_{[Maaaaaaybe he was a little sore about empathy. Shhhhh.]}

Pity and empathy aren't the same thing.

Just do me a favor and have an orgasm for your birthday. It'll make me feel better.

...

And if you need help with that, it might really make me feel better.

Why is it such a big deal?

_{[A beat, and then he's tilting his head. He really doesn't understand people.

Especially Anya. He can honestly say he's never met someone like this.]}

...And why would it make you feel better?

Because it's so basic.

And if we had intercourse, I'd hope I'd get something out of it, too.

For most people, maybe. Before Aizen showed up and gave us these powers, survival was the only thing that mattered to me.

...Keep talking and I'll think about it.

Obviously you have the opportunity to think about other things now.

I am experienced, not to mention very attractive, but that goes without saying.

...Guess so.

_{[He can't say he's met a woman here that wasn't attractive--men, too.]}

Why me? What're you hopin' to get outta this?

Orgasms. [Duh.] And why not you? You interest me.

So you wanna use me, huh?

_{[Judging by that smirk, he's definitely teasing.]}

...What else do humans do? Just fuck and ditch like in a couple of those movies?

I'm not looking for a relationship, but if you're any good there's no reason it can't happen again.

Do I look like the romantic type?

_{[Well. Aside from his 'romantic' other-worldly self that took his place during the curse.]}

I'm a clean slate as far as that goes, but at the very least I know how shit works.

Well then, there's only one question left:

Your place or mine?

Either or. My place is up on the island but I'm guessing yours is down here somewhere since I've only seen four other people living topside.

That sounds more private. I'll meet you up there.
