With the Captains suffering casualties and heavy injuries on their side, all hope seemed to be lost... until Shinji Hirako appeared, along with the rest of the former Shinigami. Though the aid of the Vizards certainly helped to draw the battle in their favor, it seemed Aizen's power alone proved too much for them.
A slight yawn was the only sound. Adan had made his way to the world of the living, on vacation if you will. Los Noches got pretty dull, and after all, pulling his pranks wasn't as fun when many of the arrancar were either emotionless jerks or hot-headed/can't-take-a-joke guys. So, his new option, being humans and shinigami, was much more appealing.
He wasn't bored, well, he sorta was. He walked the park, searching for someone to startle. Really, it was just the blue-eyed arrancar's stump of a left hand that he wanted to use. He hadn't scared anyone with that stump for a while.
It would have been a refreshing change.

Scampering across the ground in a frantic motion, a terribly frightened squirrel dashed up a tree as a young, 6 year old girl with short magenta hair, a smiling youthful face, and an orange and cream colored dress, ran close behind it. Running headlong into the tree with a THUD!, Fae seemed to of hit the trunk of the massive oak hard enough to give herself a concussion, but she proceeded to get up, brush herself off, and then try again. This time she hugged the round, rough trunk with her arms in a tight embrace and tried to climb the tree, her short little legs just dangling as they tried to find grip on the bark.
Fae's attention was diverted by a small acorn she found on the ground. She picked the small nut up in her hand and proceeded to gnaw on it just as she had seen the squirrel do. She continued to do so intently even as another arrancar approached her area. She knew the arrancar was there, in fact, she was aware of everything going on around her, even the fact that the squirrel was inside the tree right now, nervously waiting by his storage of food, peeking out time from time to see if the coast was clear. Fae knew these things without seeing, hearing, or feeling these things, but she never really questioned how. But right now, this acorn was all that mattered, and for something that the Squirrel had tried so hard to steal and hide, it didn't taste all too good.
Adan smiled to himself. Ah, if he freaked someone out, he was fine with it. Age? Did it matter? Hell no. He could sense reiatsu, and he knew she was no human. Though, she did seem rather odd... But then again, so did Adan. He was one of the more childish arrancar in Los Noches, hence the reason he spent more time in the world of the living than he did actually IN Los Noches. Well, it sure felt that way by this time.
In any case, he was having fun with the prospect of putting that stupid little stump to use. After all, he had the crazy thing, one battle scar that would never heal, and he might as well use it. He slowly wiped his smile from his face, letting his expression change to one that held no emotion as he walked to the smaller arrancar and kneeled slightly.
On the inside, he was getting ready to laugh his head off. Whether or not she was scared, the prospect of scaring someone was always a fun time. Maybe the actual pranks weren't as fun, but the prospect was everything! Carrying it out was just a bonus!
That's what ran through his mind as his stump tapped on the girl's shoulder. As he did this, he said, in a very solemn voice "Hello..."

Fae spat the acorn out with disinterest as her wide-eyed gaze turned to the stump on the man's hand which had just touched her. Her eye's widened, her heartbeat quickened, her head felt dizzy, and tears rushed to her eyes as if she were about to cry when
"HAhaaahaahahahaha" Fae's laughter filled the air as she rolled onto her back and kicked her feet in the air as she held her sides. What she had just seen had to be one of the funniest things in the history of ever. "M-mister!" she cackled, not able to speak right in her fits of laughter. "You don't have a hand! Did it fall off? Did you take it off? Can you screw it back on like a toy?" she asked curiously as she continued to giggle.
Well, it wasn't the reaction Adan was expecting, nor was it anything even closely related to what he was looking for, but it was such a perfect moment for the black-haired prankster that he couldn't help but unleash his own burst of laughter. Much like the arrancar before him, he fell backwards and began to laugh hysterically. He sat up when the girl began to ask him questions, and the young-seeming arrancar smiled widly.
"Got it shot off," Adan answered, suddenly falling backwards with a loud laugh. This was too funny. No, it wasn't just funny, it was PERFECT. Rarely did he meet someone who actually had the sense of humor to LAUGH at Adan's attempts at pranks; he'd never met someone who would laugh at the stump itself.
Too funny, he decided, too funny. He grinned from one ear to another as he pulled himself back up, still giggling. Even when he managed to speak, he still squeezed a little laugh of a snort every now and again. "Thank you," a snort, "you've been a great," another snort, "crowd..."
He couldn't help it, he doubled over again, laughing. For the third time he laid on his back, laughing hysterically. This may have been the most hilarious moment in history, and had someone been standing by with a video camera, it might not die just then.

Fae's fits of laughter finally ceased as she struggled to calm herself down. This man was funny, much better than those other arrancar that hang around Las Noches. "Ne, Onii-chan" Fae shouted excitedly, tugging on the older arrancar's sleeve. She had a habit of calling all of the arancar at Las Noches her Onii-chans and Onee-chans. "How can you jump rope with one hand? Or how can you play sports and video games and use the potty?" Fae asked curiously, a whole list of things that would be hard with one hand came into her mind. "I think they have pretend hands that move like robots, did you know that onii-chan? Oh! Oh! You should be a pirate! You could put a hook on your hand and maybe you can find a parrot and a hat and get a boat and go look for treasure and take prisoners and kill British people and drink lots of rums and eat jolly ranchers (mixed up Jolly Roger)"
"Video games?" Adan asked curiously, although the girl continued on her rant, thinking up random things. Somehow she managed to get to the point of piracy, and hell, Adan was laughing again. He still had no clue what a video game was, but his laughter seemed ceaseless.
"Nah, can't do that. If I put a hook over this, it'd get blasted ta bits whenever I do," Adan began, raising his stump and pointing it behind his head slightly as he spoke. Soon blue reiatsu formed on his stump and he released it, letting it fly into the air perpetually. Finally, he continued. "This."
He smiled at her again, revealing how overly-wide his grins could be. His smile was ear-to-ear.

"Oh Oh! That's a cero right? I can do that too but mine is colored different. But I think balas are funner!" Fae decided to prove her point by forming a large pink ball of reietsu in her hand that glowed magenta in color. "Mine are really special, they bounce" Fae said as she smiled, still holding the bala in her palm. Fae began to bounce the ball off the ground lightly like a basket ball. Each time the sphere hit the dirt, it bounced back up quickly to her hands. Fae then gave the ball a harder throw into the air above her head. The bala zoomed forth with lighting speed as it disappeared from view. Fae turned her attention back to the arrancar in front of her as the ball still hadn't come back yet. "So thats too bad, we should be pirate anyway, it could be really fun!" Fae explained, trying to convince the man that investing in the life of a buccaneer was the way to go. Fae quickly stuck her hand out to the side just in time for her bala to fall neatly into her palm with the sound of a hard impact but little sign of damage. Fae clenched her hand tightly, causing the energy to dissipate and vanish. "I don't fight that much like my other onii-chans and onee-chans do, so I like to make up powers that are more fun to use"
"That's cool," Adan said, looking at the girl's bouncing bala intently. Well, that was one way to entertain oneself. The blue-eyed prankster watched intently, his eyes seeming to bounce with the ball. He smiled curiously as she threw it upwards, and soon reentered her pirate-loving state.
"Aye, but that'd be just a tad harrrd for theh likes o' meh!" Adan said in the best pirate-y voice he could muster, "I'd have ta swab the deck an' work instead o' just lazin' aro'n' an' jokin' wit friends. I'd have ta read tha maps and understand them too. I'd have ta-"
He was cut off by the ball bala landing back in the girl's hand, and after she offered her explaination, he realized something. They hadn't exchanged names yet. Well, Adan decided that would have to change in a moment, as he tapped his head with his stump of a hand and stated, "Oh, the name's Adan by the way."

"Oh, I forgot to tell you my name too! I'm Fae! I don't have a last name so people just call me Fae!" Fae introduced herself cheerfully. "So Adan-nii, what are you doing out here in the human world? I was here to chase squirrels you see, because they always take those nuts to hide them in the holes in trees, so I decided to go and look at them. But I guess they only eat and hide the nuts from all the other squirrels. I think they're really funny, I wish we had squirrels around Hueco Mundo but all we have are hollows. They're fun to watch too but sometimes they try to chase me but they aren't very good at it. They never catch me at all and then they get tired and give up, I guess they don't like playing for too long." Fae was innocent and oblivious to the fact that hollows would often chase and try to eat a small little child like her, life was just a great big game to her, and she enjoys everything that ever occurs.
