[Elektra]

"Hello, Ulquiorra-sama..." Murcialgo said.  "It seems that you are in quite the bind, which also means that I am in quite the bind." he explained.  At first, Ulquiorra wasn't sure what to say, but he recovered quickly.  "I see no reason to assume we are in a bind as you say.  In fact, there is nothing here besides you and I." he said flatly.  Murcialgo did not comment, but turned away and began walking.  He knew for a fact that his 'partner' would follow.

[Elektra]

It seemed that Murcialgo was either dillusional, or he was avoiding some sort of invisible obstickle that made sharp twists and turns every few yards.  Ulquiorra was tempted to stop him after what seemed like hours of walking, for he saw now point.  He changed his mind, however, when they were brought to an abrupt half.  Murcialgo frowned, but then his face lit up soon after.  He reached out into the emptiness in front of them, but instead of just continuing on, his hand disappeared.

[Elektra]

"Aha!" he exclaimed.  "Cloaked in some strange reiatsu.  I knew that there was something else around this place." he said as he pulled his hand out, then stepped forward, his whole prascence disappearing instantly.  Ulquiorra made no move to follow, but suddenly found himself being dragged by a long hand sticking out of thin air, holding on to the collar of his shirt.  If anyone else had even thought of doing this to him, they would have been dead isntantly.  However, he put up with it, knowing Murcialgo and his hunches.

[Elektra]

When Murcialgo let go, Ulquiorra turned around to a slightly-welcomed sight.  There were massive ruins everywhere, which looked to once have been from a big castle-like structure.  There was an eery feeling that hit both the men in the face like a cold bucket of water.  "Murcialgo, where have you taken me?  This is not the world I met you in, nor is it anywhere I have ever ventured." he said, trying to take in this discovery.  The place was unseen from the outside, but there did not seem to be any reason to go to such trouble to hide this place.  Whatever it was had certainly sparked Murcialgo's interest though.  Perhaps it was worth investigating.

[Elektra]

The two started walking through the crumbling halls, stopping occasionally to inspect a room that was still partly in tact.  There were no furnishings anywhere, nor any apparent occupants.  Even if they were not alone, anyone wthere was harmless, for they would've sensed a threat imediately.  After a while, Ulquiorra began to tire of this pointless walking around.  He stopped, and turned down a smaller hallway that was barely standing.  He made his way into a small room, one that still had a roof over it, and sat down.

[Elektra]

Murcialgo followed him in, and paced around a little bit before sliding down a wall himself.  He folded his wings back behind him once again, and stared at Ulquiorra.  "What is it you want now?" Ulquiorra asked, uninterested.  "Oooh, cold." Murcialgo said in reply, pouting.  Honestly, that man could be so unappreciative.  "And it's not that I want something, I just like to look at you every now and then.  After all, you and I are supposed to be partners.  And yet, I never even get to see your face that often.  It's a miracle we work so well together on the battle field still.  Or, well, we used to."

[Elektra]

Ulquiorra looked up, confused at what Murcialgo meant.  They had always worked well in battle, but he never really had thought of how different they were.  Sure, he'd noticed it, but brushed it aside.  Now that he was forced to really see that, it was a lot more stunning.  Ulquiorra was an empty shell, while Murcialgo was capable of all sorts of emotions.  He controlled himself, yes, but he still smiled and laughed and frowned on a regular basis, which was something Ulquiorra couldn't ever remember doing.  Regardless, it didn't really matter now.  After all, the two were stuck in some void, and Ulquiorra remembered quite clearly his disintegration as some might have called it.  So as far as he was concerned, they wouldn't have to worry about fighting together for quite a while.

[Elektra]

"Jeez, what a spoilsport...  It's not as if we're doomed.  At least we aren't being tortured in hell like all those other poor ass holes are.  Especially Yammy," Murcialgo said as cheerfully as he could.  Ulquiorra looked up, annoyed.  However, he knew reasoning with the spirit was hopeless, so he didn't say a word.  Instead, he got up, and left the small room.  "Hey, don't just up and leave without a warning!" Murcialgo said annoyed.  He was used to his master being quiet and devoid of emotions, but this was different.  This was just a lack of emotion, this was a lack of hope, a lack of will to live.  Had that orange haired girl really shaken him up that much?

[Elektra]

Ulquiorra continued down the opposite direction in which they'd come, and took a sharp turn.  He wasn't sure where he was going, but walking was better than sitting he decided.  His energy renewed once again, he sped up, nearly running into a couple of walls, or in one case, Murcialgo, in his haste.  "Hey, watch it!" Murcialgo said, annoyed now.  Ulquiorra just turned around and glared at him slightly, but it didn't phase the other man.

[Elektra]

Eventually, Ulquiorra ran into a dead end.  The walls stopped, and the last part of that hallways was still in tact.  There was nothing but a brick wall at the end however, and Ulqiorra turned around swiftly.  It seemed that it was a bit to swift though, for Murcialgo rounded the corner and barreled into him, knocking Ulquiorra down flat on his back while he went summersaulting into the wall.  The odd part was when he actually went into the wall.  As in, into and then disappeared, much like when they had first found this mysterious place.

[Elektra]

Ulquiorra was beginning to sense a trend here, and this time he went straight ahead, not needing any help from Murcialgo.  There was a slight disturbance in the bricks, and then he passed right through them. "Interesting..." he mumbled as he looked around for Murcialgo.  His bat-like companion, however was no where in sight.  Ulquiorra sighed, and surveyed his surroundings.  It was much like the other ruins, but these were more in tact, and for the most part, still connected, even though different parts were crumbling.  Finding it odd that this place seemed to be in much better shape, he decided to search around, for both his partner and an answer to this odd place.

[Elektra]

Murcialgo, meanwhile, had tumbled straight through the wall, and hadn't hesitated before setting off into the smaller structure.  To his surprise, the rooms, despite already having started to crumble, were lightly furnished.  There was nothing fancy, a small table and a futon, and then a chair or two in some rooms, but it suggested that there had been, and maybe still was, something living there.  Intrigued, he left and started down the halls again, hoping to find the center of the building.

[Elektra]

Ulquoirra entered through what now was a gaping hole in the side of the house.  He supposed that there were once a set of doors there, but they had been the first parts of the structure to decay.  Though, he had never heard of anything that wasn't living decaying...  It was all quite puzzling, but he had to keep focused on finding his partner.  He knew what kind of trouble could arise from Murcialgo's quick mouth and odd attitude at times, and didn't wish to take any chances if something were to be alive here.

[Elektra]

Murcialgo made his way down a small staircase, careful not to trip again and go flying down into the dark area below.  He was thankful that his vision was much better than the average human's - or anything, for that matter - at that moment, seeing as he had no torch or light of any kind.  He didn't see anything in the room, and headed for the nearest door.  He managed to open it after a minute or two of struggling, and he went in.

[Elektra]

Ulquiorra advanced as well, frustrated that Murcialgo hadn't left any trail behind.  Did the other man not care about staying together?  He clenched his fists and continued on down the hallway.  He to noticed how these rooms were different from the others, as if meant to actually house something living.  This theory put him on guard, and he made sure to pay attention as he continued toward the center of the building.
