A simple meme. Post a comment describing a hypothetical meeting between the Save the Earth AU version of your character (IE the one in this game) and the original version (IE the one straight out of the TV show/book/game.) either with a description of their opinions or with an actually written out conversion.

Also, if you like, you can continue by way of tagging other people's posts, and threading out an encounter between your StE AU and their Original Flavor version. Or between your your Original Flavor and their StE AU.

New-Toushirou would honestly be kind of impressed with his former self in some ways. So . . . a captain of death gods (that . . . apparently protect souls instead of devouring them or whatever, so that makes being a death god okay), with a whole whack of useful powers and people that actually listen to him. He can get behind that.

On the other hand, New-Toushirou would be rather unimpressed with the fact that Old-Toushirou didn't see what kind of danger was around his own best friend for years and years and start criticizing him for his screw-ups in protecting her. Because being critical solves everything.

Old-Toushirou doesn't really know how to deal with kids, but if this is really him, then it shouldn't be that hard, right? Don't have to treat him as much like a kid. Except shutting him down when the kid is being a brat and getting on his case about how he wasn't able to protect Hinamori. Shut up, child. They alternate butting heads and getting along fine, because that's how people like them roll.

As a side note, Old-Toushirou is quietly unhappy that his new self gets to be taller. And New-Toushirou starts mentally griping that future echoes may make him shrink. Not. Fair.

Looks like Captain Brat is a real brat now!

[walking lazy circles around the boy, he ends up behind him and sniffs his hair]

Weak as a kitten, too. But you still have that wonderful minty smell. How is Hyorinmaru~? Is he well?

[icy_heavens]

[HOLY HELL WHAT?!]

[Yes, that's an instinctive shunpo to get some distance. Not taking his eyes off the creepy . . . thing, either. Nope, gotta stay on guard. Even while being unable to suppress a mildly confused blink.] Who?

[Whoops, seems actual brat doesn't know his sword's name, yet.]

[hollowleg]

[oh, it's not going to be that easy to get away. Zangetsu uses a bit of sonido to follow this tasty little morsel. He wraps his tail around Hitsugaya's legs.

Loosely, for now.

Just a warning not to do that again.]

Awwwww! Aren't you so cute... You don't even know your own power, yet. [he trails a clawed finger across his cheek] I could just eat you up.

[icy_heavens]

[Crap. He stiffens a bit at the tail wrapping around him. Not good, not good. That rumbling voice in his mind keeps urging at him, pretty much drilling into his head that this is a bad situation. Well no kidding, Voice. Like he hasn't already figured that out.

[His mind is racing too much for him to get offended at being called cute. If he tries to move like that again, he's going to get tripped up. But he can't just stand here. The guy is threatening to eat him, for crying out loud!

[And . . . "Hyourinmaru"? Maybe . . . Is that the Voice?]

Get out of my face. [The words are surprisingly steady; he might not have all his old powers, but he's still got some nerve. Small hands go to shove at that clawed one, ice crackling into existence, the surrounding temperature dropping drastically. He's not in full control at this point; he just wants to use whatever power he does have to get this guy off of him.]

[hollowleg]

What, you gonna make me, Tiny Taichou? [so serious. It looks like some things never change. Even his reincarnation is so mature, steady as stone.

Zangetsu pays little attention to the ice crawling on his skin. Hyorinmaru's power was so weak, without his master knowing his name and properly hearing his voice] Is that all?

[he ignites his hand with black and red flames, melting the ice immediately] Fire beats ice, kid.

[icy_heavens]

[That gets him to jump a little, only because it's so close. He's not exactly sure what he can do, here. He's . . . not his old self. His old self knows what he's doing, has his abilities under control. Much as he hates to think it, he's a pretty sorry imitation at this point.

[His eyes momentarily latch onto the hole in the guy's stomach, and something he regained a while back makes a bit more sense now that he thinks of it.] Because I'm just going to stand here and let myself get eaten by a Hollow, right?

[Not that he's moving right now. He's still trying to figure out a solution to this. Clearly, smarting off is the best option, right?]

[hollowleg]

[he laughs, moving his hand back down. This kid was so stoic... it's not any fun!]

It'd be an honor, you know, to be eaten by me. I ain't no run of the mill Hollow. I'm a Zanpakutou, too. Like that voice who's name you don't know.

[icy_heavens]

[He's fortunately had a few real fights under his belt. Makes it easier to confront a threat right in the face. Even if Zangetsu has actually managed to freak him out more than most of those.

[But what he says . . . that doesn't sound right. Nothing about what he's gotten back says that could happen. So there's another confused blink before he settles his face back into that far too natural frown.] It's not an honour to be somebody's snack, no matter what they are.

[hollowleg]

[Vermaxi have nothing on him, kid. Zangetsu is the real deal; a ferocious monster with very little in the way of morality. Just a hunger for fighting and tasty souls.

Even if he doesn't need them, per se.

That little confused blink makes him chuckle. Of course he's not common. There's not that many four-way hybrids running around] Mmmm... well... that's too bad. Because I'm not actually giving you a choice, here. [a frown and he plucks a single hair from Hitsugaya's head. He examines it, then lets it fall] If I wait a little longer, you'll be even better. I'm nothing if not patient.
