Alright, I've decided this deserves another shot. So, if you have a problem with how I'm portraying Pesche Guatiche, here's the place to do it. Also, you should check my ever-expanding Characterization Essay below. Anonymity is go, so have at it.

Since I know some people feel I have been developing Pesche in a non-canonical way, I decided I would write this little essay thing, so even if you disagree with my rational, you will at least know what it is. I'm going to be doing this in the form of a Q & A.












If this essay is of any interest to you for whatever reason, please check back later as I will certainly be adding a few more things.

Nel-sama was always such a good speaker. When one arrancar speaks to another, the two most common comebacks are, "Wanna fight about it?" and "I could beat you up if I wanted". But not with her. If someone told her off for whatever reason, she'd always have the perfect response. And it was never mean or crude, but just perfectly thought out. But that was a long time ago.

I wonder what I'll say to her when I see her in her adult form again. It's inevitable that I will...

Lately, it seems like the ticking is louder than before, but I'm not more or less alone than I've been in weeks.

Except for the minarets and the daylight, this reminds me a lot of Hueco Mundo. Not nearly as sad though.

I guess Uryuu is gone now. All I have to remember him by is Szayel-Aporro's doll. And the doll gets old pretty quick.

Just so you know, it's a bad idea to be outside during the night in the desert. You wouldn't believe how cold it gets.

Look who's come for a visit!



It's my pet, Bawabawa!  I don't know what he's doing out of Hueco Mundo (or Dondochakka's stomach for the matter) but it's so good to see him!  I think I'll take him for a walk today, so consider the stand closed.

[ooc: Hollows in general are probably the closest thing to a national "animal" of Hueco Mundo, so Bawabawa fits the bill.  Pesche will be riding him around the City all day long, oblivious to the fact that Bawabawa might be a little frightening to most people.  Also, the picture is not IC]

Does anyone out there know how to make sushi? I am considering opening up a new stand to sell my fish in sushi-form, but I don't really know how to make it. I just thought, since so many people are Japanese here, it might be something people would buy. So, please inquire here on my journal thing or at the stand.

Oh, and Cirno-chan, I am in need of your services if you are available this afternoon or this evening.

EDIT: To any of my friends who have other friends who have become children today: I am available to babysit. I have...several years of experience as a full time babysitter. No charge of course---just happy to be helpful.

A lot of things have been going down lately. I've been thinking about the past, and Hueco Mundo and Las Noches, and about the City too. There's this one thought I have...maybe not a happy thought, but a good one, one that makes me not notice the ticking sound even when I'm all alone.

I think the arrancar will be free again one day.



Hmmm...well, I guess that's all. Don't think I'm being all mopey and serious with this, because I'm not. It's a good thought, you know? I just wanted to share.

Everyone is getting really sick. It makes me worry a lot. Kuromi-chan is sick, and Ichigo, and a bunch of other people I know. I'm really worried about all of them. I'm not sick at all, and none of the other arrancar seem to be either, so maybe we're immune somehow...I don't really know. I wish there was more that I can do to help besides get coffee for people. If there are arrancar powers for healing...I don't have them. But, if any of my friends collapse from sickness, I can rush in and sonido you to a doctor I guess. That's about all though.

Oh, and Zoro-san...I don't think we should head out this week, or at least until all this rolls over. Also, I'm closing down the stand until further notice.

EDIT: I just remembered that Nel actually did have weak healing powers.  Her drool and puke could heal wounds.  I remember, whenever me or Dondochakka got even a little cut she'd chase us until we were covered in drool and puke.  Ah, those were good times...

[Filtered from Aizen and Co.]

I hope anyone with, um, non-disease related injuries is doing okay too.

I am in need of another employee besides myself and Zoro-san. The gutting and boning of the fish is becoming much too time consuming, so I am looking to hire one or two people to do that, so I can spend more time actually catching the fish. Pay is very good, since I know for humans it is maybe a little gross. All you need to be able to do is use a boning knife, and if you can't I can show you pretty easily, and be willing to get pretty messy and smelly---though a shower or a swim in the ocean will usually solve that. Please inquire at the stand on the beach, or here on my journal thing. Thanks!

Has anyone seen Neliel?  She was in the common room with me a minute ago, but I can't find her now.  Have any Hufflepuffs seen her with Dondochakka maybe?

I think I'm just going to skive off classes today.  At least until I find her.

[ooc: So cursed, he doesn't even know he's cursed.  Also believes Nel is a fellow Ravenclaw and Dondochakka a Hufflepuff.]

It seems that, even though it's tomorrow, this curse hasn't gone away yet---it actually seems to have gotten worse, as my sword has turned into a stick.  Why, City?  Why you always gotta change my Ultima into different things, eh?

Anyway, the stick doesn't seem to do anything but shoot out super-weak cero.  It's more like sparks than cero, but it is red.  So, does anyone know how this stick thingy works?  Because i use my sword for a lot of things, and if this stick's gonna take it's place for a while, the stick's gotta start pulling it's weight.

[ooc: Pesche's wand: Hazel wood, 11 1/2 inches, Abraxan tail-hair core; quite bendy; surprisingly good for jinxes and hexes]

If this is a curse, it is one of the most bizarre yet.   I was sitting on my bed, practicing my new saxophone when a brown hat thing crawled into my apartment and jumped on my face!  It was on there for almost a whole minute, then it went "Ravenclaw!" and scurried out before I could catch it.  I think it left this card thing too:



Maybe this is, like, it's calling card or something, I really don't know.  Anyway, if you see this hat thing, be on the lookout, because it nearly suffocated me.

[ooc: My rationale?  Pesche is naturally very curious. He discovered a new cero.  Like Nel, he appreciates reason because, as a hollow, he was without it.  And most of all, in my opinion he's airy, and Ravenclaw is associated with the air element]

Of all the things I am proud of, even more than Cero Sincrético, the special kind of super-powered cero that only me and Dondochakka can do, I am proud of my Infinite Slick. This is my ability to secrete a liquid that makes everything it touches super slippery. What's that you say? It's a useless ability, but YOU ARE WRONG! Let me tell you a story about my Infinite Slick...in dramatic form:

Scene: Las Noches: a Room with a bunch of pillars

I have just run nobly onto the scene to aid Uryuu, whose battle with Cirucci Thunderwitch is looking bleak.

Cirucci: I am going to hit you with my yo-yo thing and then you will die, silly white ant!

Pesche: Your yo-yo is no match for special ability, fiend!

I spray the yo-yo. Yo-yo bounces off me harmlessly.

Pesche: Hahaha! I have foiled you! Now I will go on the offensive!

I spray one of her pillars; she jumps off.

Cirucci: You are so stupid! You think I'll just stand there and get hit! You are so stupid!

I spray all of her pillars; she lands on one and falls to the ground with a thud.

Pesche: Ha! That's what you get for underestimating me!


And now, another story, with a similar theme:

Scene: Las Noches: the Lab of the Octava Espada, Szayel-Aporro Grantz; the roof is collapsed

Szayel-Aporro has ensnared both Renji and Uryuu with his voodoo doll-making powers.

Renji: Alas! I too have been ensnared by his voodoo doll-making powers.

Szayel-Aporro: Stop struggling, pitiful shinigami! Your efforts are entirely futile against me, the Octava Espada, Szayel-Aporro, and my pretty pink hair!

Uryuu: If only some gallant hero would rush in to save us!

Pesche: I will save you!

I spray Szayel-Aporro's hand; he drops both voodoo dolls.  I slide in under him and grab them before they hit the ground.

Renji:  Huzzah!  We are saved!


So, yeah, what we're you saying about something being useless?  Yeah, that's what I thought you said.  Haters.

I have found something even better to do with my money than donate it or buy candy (which was my other plan).  For some reason, I was inspired to buy this:



It cost four indigos, but it was worth it!  I'm also going to start taking lessons in the evening when I stand is closed.  And hey, maybe when I learn how to play a little better, I can start a jazz band to play really loud and publicly as often as possible!  Wouldn't that be great?  Anyone interested who can play?

Also, Zoro-san and I have set out again.  Should be back Thursday or Friday.  All of Pesche's friends, take care!

Urahara-san, may I have a word? It is something I think you will be rather interested in.

Zoro-san, I'm going to be heading back out tomorrow. If you're coming, I'll be at the beach tomorrow morning.

Ever since I started selling lobsters down at the stand, I have more money than I know what to do with. I paid my rent to Urahara-san, got my boat repaired, bought a bed and blankets for the apartment, bought human foood (which is quite tasty) and a cold-making box to keep most of it in, and even after all that I still have lots of money left over. So I am wondering: what do humans usually do with money when they already have enough for the things they need?

Also, to the human who hacked Ichigo's account and spoke disrespectfully about Nel-sama: if I ever find out who you are, you're never going to walk over a surface you won't slip on for the rest of your life. So, be forewarned.

[OOC: This is where it will all go down! Pesche is currently down by the fountain stretching. Volunteers I know of from the
ooc post are:

Minato
Orihime,
Zoro,
Barnabas.

I'll be assuming they're there from the beginning (though I won't have Pesche mention anyone specifically until they post), so they can jump in at any point. Add-ons can join in mid tag as they see fit, but there will be a cut off at some point. The rules for Eternal Tag (it's different than normal tag) are here.

I'll mention the pun-pun effect for Pesche one last time before tag begins: Pesche's wish is to be black and shiny like a stag beetle, because, you know, they're so cool. The twist to Pesche's wish is that everything he touches and everything that touches him will have the black coloring rub off on them like ink, creating quite a mess. Also, for tag players, the stain is "infectious" if you will---if you get it on you by tagging him, it will spread to anything else Additionally, the pun-pun magic can affect any character so that playing tag becomes irresistible, as this will spread the chaos even more. Pesche will start of the game at 6:00]

The ship hit a patch of rough water, so I won't be in until Friday afternoon. So I am declaring the official starting time of Eternal Tag to be 6:00 P.M. Everyone who is playing should meet at the fountain. I going to be the first It since I was the one who called the game. Also, if anyone sees the incredible fun we're all having, you can join in and start chasing the It, whoever that might be, until 6:15...any later and you would have a serious advantage over the rest of us for stamina.

I hope to see many of you there!  Unfortunately, I don't think Ichigo is coming, as he seems to be afraid of losing to me or one of the other contestants.  That's okay, though---accepting your limitations is a good trait to have, in my opinion.

[ooc: MORE PLAYERS PESCHE NEEDS MORE PLAYERS!  Check here for the details, as Pesche's game will coincide with Kuromi's pun-pun and hence have a little twist he doesn't know about yet.  The pun-pun will have a way of drawing in players with it's dark magic, which will certainly give any character an excuse to participate. So, c'mon and give an ant a stag beetle a bit of a fun, eh?]

Okay, for those of you planning to play tomorrow, here are the rules of Eternal Tag, which is a little different from regular human tag:

• Unlike in normal tag, if you are the It everyone chases you
  


• If you tag the It, you become the new It


• If you stop chasing or being chased (like because you fall over from exhaustion or any other reason), you're out. Walking counts as stopping!
  


• If you use any kind of special powers, or any speed boost from a machine or something, you're out


• You can run as fast as you can, but remember that its the last man standing who wins

Also, I'm offering a free lobster or any kind of fish from the stand to the winner...unless, of course, I win myself---which could totally happen, as I've been playing Eternal Tag for years.

In other news, I've got a new shipmate on La Verdita, Zoro-san. He's apparently some kind of pirate in his own world. He's pretty cool I think, and I'm an excellent judge of cool. We should be back tomorrow morning, and then Eternal Tag begins!

[ooc: The ooc sign up for Eternal Tag is here. Pesche will be under Kuromi's pun-pun, so there will be a little extra twist. Also, the pun-pun can draw your character into the game by some irresistible force if you want them to play, but think it would be ooc for them to do so of their own free will.]
