Blinding Sunrise [Private/Mercy] [Jenny/Santa]

After the mini-vacation with her father and Celeste in Asia, where it was attacked in the middle of the night by Hubert the Asshole Space Whale. But, with some help from others who were either nearby or called onto the scene, they had managed to get through it relatively unscathed, saving as many people and as many buildings as they could.

So, Jenny had no problem running around not terribly far from where the three of them were staying in South America, waving to the people she knew and passed by, putting in a pair of earbuds, and swayed with the beat of the song. It was in the early morning, and Jenny was in a good mood, bouncing to the beat of the song she listened to, cute pink sunglasses protecting her eyes from the early morning sun.

But, there was one person that was a bit of an oddity compared to the rest. She saw someone that was there that wasn't like the others. She tilted her head to the side slightly as she paused her music. She was blonde, pretty tall, and...well, pretty. But, she stood out not for her looks, but for the less-than-obvious fact that she was spying on people.

She could sense that she was an Arrancar, but she didn't really understand why she was just randomly spying on humans. So, she'd walk up to the blonde, still with a smile on her face as she poked her side.

"Why're you standing here like a gargoyle, spying on people?"

When she approached the woman, calling her out for standing around and looking like a spying gargoyle, she wasn't expecting the response she got. It wasn't much of a response, but she certainly seemed confused. Akumu, a small, pink blob shape with a face manifested and sat on her head, peering at the Arrancar as Jenny tilted her head to the side.

"Whaddya mean 'what'? You're standing here, spying on and staring at everyone as they walk by like some kinda gargoyle on the side of the road!"

Jenny's eyes narrowed as she stood on her tiptoes, looking closely at Santa, as did Akumu, with its regular purring sounds growing just a tad bit louder as they looked at her in equal confusion.

"...Do you even know what 'spying' or 'gargoyle' means?"

Welp, she pissed off the gargoyle somewhat. Setting her earbuds in the case and tucking them in her pocket, she kept an inquisitive look on her face as the Arrancar pressed her with questions, wondering what her name was and why she was there. She tilted her head to the side in confusion.

"I'm here because I live here, silly! I wanted to listen to some music in the morning and I found you! Big, tall Arrancar lady that's staring at people!"

She stuck her tongue out at Santa, giggling softly before giving a big, wide grin as she looked up at the significantly taller Arrancar, pointing to herself with one hand, and to Akumu atop her head with the other.

"My name's Jenny! Jennifer Eve, second-most adorable human! Up here is my little companion, Akumu~!"

The little blob atop her head let out a purring noise, hopping slightly in place as Jenny brought her hands back to her sides, holding them behind her as she rocked back and forth on her heels and toes.

"So, what's your name, and what're you doin' here, staring and spying on people?"

Giggling softly as the Arrancar poked her forehead, she stuck her tongue out at her as she did, rocking back and forth on her feet. But, the question of if she had anything better to do other than bother her made Jenny tilt her head to the side, her smile fading into a puzzled look. She had only just woken up maybe an hour or so ago, so, in reality, she didn't have much else to do other than converse and talk to people.

"Mmm...not really, nope!"

As she said that, her gaze turned to the ground, noticing the brief, subtle shift out of the corner of her eye. She didn't really know what had caused it -- likely the Arrancar's powers -- but it was interesting, as well as something to keep note of. The Arrancar then broached the topic of if she was a bad hollow, disguised as a human. She could have sworn she had heard of something similar happening in Japan, but she wasn't sure.

Nevertheless, Jenny simply smiled, offering Santa a big grin as she spoke.

"I'll be fine! If you were bad, you'd probably have tried starting to kill me by now! Even then, I can defend myself pretty well~!"

The blob slipped down from the top of her head as if reading her mind, sliding down and expanding to provide a seat for Jenny as she sat down, bouncing lightly on the seat as she tilted her head to the side.

"If you're not spying on people, then why are you just standing here, lookin' at people?"

Jenny didn't really have an immediate response to Santa. Well, yeah, humans like her were pretty neat and cool, but it felt like there was more to it. As the Hollow looked over her shoulder, Jenny peeked around her body to see where she was looking, tilting her head to the side as she spotted the suspicious person that she seemed to be looking at.

But, she wasn't exactly gonna start smiling and waving at the random person on the other side of the street like he was an old mate ready to get a pint with her, now was she? So, she straightened herself back up before Santa turned back around, her smile returning as she rocked back and forth on her heels. However, she smile turned to a puzzled look as she put a finger to her chin, processing Santa's question. She remembered a few really strong people from the now defunct and destroyed Monsuta, or from a previous iteration of the organization.

She remembered the name "Stefan Soan", who was the leader at one point, but last she knew, he had gone missing and she figured he either went into hiding or was dead. He was kind of a dick, so, it wouldn't be a surprise if he made a lot of enemies. Azuma was really strong too, but he self-destructed and took Brazil with him, so, he was out of the question too. She knew that she was decently strong, and her father was no slouch, but she didn't really know if Santa wanted "decently above superhuman", or "actual fucking planet buster" levels of power.

"I mean, I'm pretty strong, but I think Papa might have connections to even stronger people. What kinda 'strong' are you looking for?"

Jenny's smile returned as she briefly let out a pulse of her own spiritual power at maximum output, barely lasting more than a second before returning to a more contained state, rocking back and forth on her heels yet again as Kumu sat atop her head, purring softly.
