Jack: Mhm.

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

*Your chakra returns to how it was*

@The World

Salvador: I'll take my chances with the faster process, once we manage to trap this thing. I take it you probably have some ideas, right?

*You feel a slight difference in your chakra flow*

<Snipped quote by Stabby>

Jack: We're gonna have to isolate you from that no matter what you pick.

@The World

Salvador: It doesn't like being messed with and can put up a fair fight. We would have gotten rid of it by now otherwise.
*Investigates the chain attaching him to his body.*

<Snipped quote by Stabby>

Jack: Well, you can be given a blank Zanpakuto and slowly build up your spiritual power through extremely grueling training over a long time, or you can start the process to become a hollow and overcome it before you fully change.

@The World

Salvador: ... And how does any of that change with the existence of this thing?
*A large, disturbing creature of pure Black fades into view, resting on my shoulders. Its eyes and saliva comprised of a White substance that seems unnaturally juxtaposed against the black, looking almost like it should be emitting a glow of some kind even if it doesn't. The space around the creature seems to darken.*
It feeds off of stress and negativity, so it often perches on my shoulders. Samantha has taken to calling it absence.

Jack: Everyone takes the boring route... Anyway, there are two ways to go about this. The slow way or the fast and dangerous way. The fast way also has a chance of giving you partial Hollow powers, making you even stronger. But, there's the risk of turning into a Hollow anyway and then you'll be stuck on that route.

@The World

Salvador: How does each work?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stabby>

Jack: Well, as a human you'd have to get an injection, then have an object that you care about more than anything. Keep the object near you for a long time and go through some training and you'll become able to use something called "Fullbring", that'll give you some personalized power and some basic ones like High-speed movement and the ability to fly. As a Soul Reaper, you'd get a soul-sword called a Zanpakuto that's a part of your soul and harbors another spirit within it. Then you get strength from there. As a Hollow, you're going to have to suffer a lot, risk losing your mind, then risk losing it again in a competition against other minds, then risk losing it again until you reach a certain level of power at which point we can transform you into another type of Hollow where you'll get a zanpakuto that works differently than a Soul Reaper's does and doesn't have another spirit in it.

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

At this point, I'd say learning jutsu and practicing them is the best way to move forward. They're the main point of getting control over chakra after all.

@The World

Salvador: I'll take the Soul Reaper route.
*His eyes have changed to a mixture of shifting, pale colors by now, when they were once a grayish white.*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stabby>

Jack: Now comes the lecture. There are three ways to give you some real power. The "human" way, the "Soul Reaper" way, and the "Hollow" way. The human way's the easiest but probably the weakest. The soul reaper way is much harder, but potentially the strongest. The hollow way is the fastest but the most likely to result in you turning into a mindless monster for the rest of your life, or having your consciousness overcome by someone else's.

@The World

Salvador: *The grin fades.* Describe each and I'll make my choice.
*His voice seems to have changed slightly, though you can't tell how.*

Looks like you've got Earth Release~ Congratulations!

<Snipped quote by Stabby>

Jack: *Puts on a red glove and pushes against your forehead, pushing through your body to push your spiritual body out of it. You find yourself outside your body as it falls over, connected at the chest by a chain with it* Shouldn't hurt, but that usually scares some people off.

@The World

Salvador: *Still grinning, tries to summon my black flames, but fails.*

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

*Holds out a piece of paper* This is a special paper called "Chakra Induction Paper" that reacts based on a person's chakra type. Just put a touch of chakra into it and boom.

<Snipped quote by Stabby>

Jack: I'm going to have to rip your soul out of your body. Are you prepared for that?

@The World

Salvador: *Narrows his eyes with a mad grin.*
I will have this power.

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Hand seals. One second. *Goes back through the door for a moment then comes back and hands you a book* That book has all sorts of jutsu in it, and the seals needed to use them. You can also mold the chakra into your hands or feet or even your brain to achieve enhanced performance.

<Snipped quote by Stabby>

Jack: Who wants to be next?

@The World

*Samantha doesn't respond. Salvador gets up and makes his way over, staring Jack in the eyes.*
Salvador: I'm ready.
