"You may," Jes folded her arms. "But you'll be disappointed to know I have none with him. So long as he doesn't make trouble in Las Noches, I have very little to do with him. He was, however, involved with Feiy Boelba, the vaizard so recently in charge of Las Noches,"
It really was a shame that Feiy had died. Jes would have been much more willing to follow her lead than that of Aizen. On some level, she owed Aizen her current life, but he had only awakened her to satisfy his own wishes. And speaking of awakening-- "In that respect, your master has taken something that does not belong to him. When you next see him, be so kind as to deliver my message to him? Consider it a warning. I will have the Hogyoku back before all is done,"
She could see-- and if not appreciate-- Powchii's tactic. Keeping her talking bought him time to determine his strategy. She would give him that time, she decided. His life was none of her concern, though if he stayed to fight, she would do her best to divest him of his soul. She was always willing to feed and never denied her Court.

"The Hogyoku?" he said. . . "I'd no idea he took it without permission, but then again it wasn't hard to tell that you didn't just hand it over to him." he took a step towards Jes, "Can I tell you something?" he said, "I'm not to sure if word of this has made it to Los Noches, but since you are sparing my life I could let you in on something." he paused and looked over his shoulder in a sarcastic manner, "Don't tell him I was the one that told you, but Ky has been very busy playing doctor lately. He has in a sense frankensteined his own form of Espada. . . Jagers." his eyes seemed to glow in the light.
"Hm~" Gekko whispered.
"You shouldn't be so loose with information like that." Genma said.
"If you don't get the Hogyoku back you could have what I have." Powchii said smiling, he felt no problems telling Jes about himself since she had no ties with the Bounts. "My power might not be as great as the Hogyoku, but it is a decent match against it." he said as he, "Plus I don't think Ky needs two powerful objects." he smiled and gave a friendly nod at Jes, "Consider your message passed." he said quietly.

"Ky can play mad doctor all he wants. It suits him," Jes digested Powchii's words silently, betraying no emotion. "That doesn't change the original purpose of the Hogyoku. If he wants to make ******** up hybrids, that doesn't concern me. So long as he remembers his place and doesn't get it into his head that he can attack Las Noches as he pleases. In which case he will regret it. You can tell him that, too,"
She was truly unruffled by Powchii's new. Regaining the Hogyoku was a primary concern, but what Ky did with it until such time as it returned to arrancar hands didn't bother her. She was, however, vaguely intrigued by Powchii's follow up. By the sound of his words, he had an interesting power.
"You claim to match the Hogyoku?" She wanted to know, a slight arch to one eyebrow suggesting skepticism. If he had a useful power, she would not mind controlling it.

"Ky a mad doctor. . . I would agree with you there. . . At times I have to ask myself if he has a hidden agenda." he said to her, "Hybrids. . . They claim to be so much more. . . I consider them monstrosities." his voice was full of anger when he thought of it. "They were never meant to be." he said, "Just like the Bounts were never meant to be."
"You really think you should be talking about this here?" Genma asked.
He noticed Jes had a newly formed interest in him, maybe he shouldn't have said anything after all. . . not one of his best decisions. "I do match the Hogyoku. In terms of destroying boundaries between spiritual beings it fails. . . But in terms of being able to supercharge any type of being it excells." he paused and took a deep breathe. "It was made by Jin Kariya back when he first decided to destroy the soul society. He called it the Shinyogo." his stare was cold, "It was an object that would draw in the spiritual energy of dead, and dying Bounts. It is a collective of energy from every Bount that has ever lived. Once their energy is absorbed it is converted into pure spiritual energy, with no characteristics." he unzipped his jacket and removed his scarf. "Jin had planned to use it to super charge the very first doll crest, and with the two combined he could have easily wiped out everything in the entire spirit realm. Realizing that I took it from him and fled the organization. But I was unable to destroy it, and over the years it grew more and more powerful. I soon realized the longer it remained a part of me the more my life became dependant on it's core." he unbuttoned his shirt and revealed cracks that covered the entirety of his body, "Unfortunately, I also realized that it was wearing out my body." a blue glow emanated from the cracks on his body. "My whole life I've been trying to pawn this off on someone else, but I don't just want to hand to anybody." he said as he buttoned his shirt back up.

"I have no use for something that wears on the body so," Jes blew a breath through her nose, vaguely disappointed that she hadn't found something truly worth taking. Still, Powchii could yet prove useful. He seemed to have no particular fondness for Ky. In that regard, Jes shared his sentiments. The Bounts were as unnatural as any hybrid race. There were hollows and there were shinigami. That was balance, though the two sides constantly struggled for the upper hand. Mutts like Bounts and Quincies had no place in the world so far as Jes was concerned.
"Anyway, if it's useful merely for Bounts, I can match that power without so much trouble," That was true enough. She needed only to evoke the right emotions from her opponents and she could become nearly unstoppable. "Why are you bothering to tell me these things to begin with? This can't be entirely loyal to Ky's wishes,"
She asked mainly because she wished to test his loyalties. She was sure there was a way to shore up his mortal body with a combination of shadows and hollow energies that would combat the ill effects of this Shinyogo, but she wouldn't offer the option unless he was willing to ally himself with Las Noches to a sufficient degree.

"I owe no allegiance to him. I was treated better by a Shinigami more than I was by my own kind. I was ridiculed. . . I feel like I don't belong with the Bounts." he paused and picked his belonging off of the floor, putting his jacket then his scarf back on.
"Au contraire," he said shaking his head, "The Shinyogu is pure energy. It can be used and maipulated by any race." adjusting his scarf he paused when he heard Jes ask him about his loyalties. "Hm~" he chuckled, "Nobody but you and me know of it's exsistence. I am telling you because. . ." he paused, "Well because. Whatever you wish to think of it is your deal." he said he barely realized that the light he had put up earlier had now faded.
((Also I cleared this with Ky so don't worry about me just making crap up))

[Didn't think you were. It would take some serious cajones to make things up. The crew flips over that sort of thing XD]
"..." Jes paused a moment, trying to decide if she actually wanted to extend a suggestion of allegiance to him. As a Bount, he was not to be trusted, yet he had been shunned by his own race. It was slightly damning that he spoke well of the shinigami, however. She would not want an ally whose loyalties were somehow questionable. She, herself, did not trust anyone. That was likely one of the reasons she was still in her position. But she still had the good sense to surround herself with the most powerful of allies.
"I believe I could shore up that mortal shell of yours if you so wished. But there would be certain... Stipulations," She said finally. "My aid does not come without a price,"

"A body that could withstand the Shinyogo's power. . ." Powchii paused, "I wouldn't ask for help without paying for it in any way." he said. "What's your price?" he asked curiously. He knew that she would most likely question his loyalties, "I would like to add that I am loyal, but only to those that are important to me." he shook his head, "I would consider you important if you managed to find a way to null the effects of the Shinyogo. You would spare me death, and for that I would be grateful. . ." he stopped talking, "But I do hope that I will one day be able to die, but only to atone for a great sin I did so many years ago." his voice was full of melancholy, it was his one true goal, to protect another like his partner had protected him. . . and to atone for doing nothing when she died.

"Allegiance," Jes said. "I require allegiance of you. Against the Bounts, the Shinigami, against anyone I deem an enemy. To be sure, I don't trust you, but you have something that is of some interest to me. As such, I'm willing to shore up your body in order to preserve your power,"
She pressed her lips into a thin line, tasting the waves of sadness that emanated from Powchii's form. "However, if you keep dwelling on such melancholy thoughts you will wake my appetites," Jes warned casually, as though commenting on the weather. "You would do well to control yourself if we're to continue this association. Softness will not serve you well in my circles,"

"Hm Hm~" Powchi chuckled soflty and his sadness faded, it was replaced with happiness. "I'll do it." he said, "All the other Bounts care about is self preservation, and in that name I act as I do now." honestly he was hoping for something like this to happen, he hated everyone deep down and cared for nothing but the memories of his closest friend. "Honesty, I honor that." he said as he gave Jes a devious smile.
"I assure you I will not show any softness when I am summoned by you." he paused, "I'll do what you ask me, and I'll perform it to the letter." his hands trembled with excitement. "From here on I will work for you, and only you." he paused, "I am Powchii Hamada, ex-Raven."

"Then you'll be free to come and go at Court as you please. My arrancar will not harm you, though I cannot extend that same protection to my fellow Espada. I suspect,"-- here Jes smiled cruelly-- "that they will respect our alliance. I have found that none of my fraccion have met with much trouble,"
Thinking back to the project at hand, Jes's most plausible idea was to augment Powchii's mortal form with her Shadows as well as select hollow energies that her own body could provide.
"For this to work, you must be willing to accept my powers into your body," Jes told him matter-of-factly. "Following this transfer, you may find it slightly... difficult... to disobey my orders. I should not be surprised if it awakens some darker tendencies in you as well,"
[What I'm thinking is that she pours Shadow into your character's body so that they manifest themselves over the cracks in his body as flanged hollow-bone-like structures that effectively seal up the damage the Shinyogo has done. Depending on his fights, he may need to have the seals reinforced from time to time. Want to pound out the exact appearance since it's your character?

"Yes. I'll be sure to keep out of their way. None of the Bounts know of our alliance, would you like me to stay close to them for now?" he asked as he prepped himself to accept Jes's darkness.
"I'll submit willingly to whatever you ask of me." he paused, "Whenever you're ready."
((That sounds good to me))

"Yes, do," Jes said, warming the idea of having a spy amid Ky's ranks. Still, she would take his intel with a grain of salt. There was always the distinct possibility that he would feed her false information. Still, she was used to this lack of trust and would be able to verify his words with more reliable sources. "Report any significant or unusual activity when you deem it prudent,"
Reacting the dimming of Powchii's light, Jes's Shadows converged. They spilled from every crack and crevice, billowing in a cloud around her form. The selfsame darkness seemed to drip from her lips, black as pitch. Jes's form was covered with unearthly shadow that highlighted the sharp planes in her face. Even her eyes darkened, to a color more akin to fresh blood.
"This will hurt," Jes told Powchii, moving towards him. Her voice was toneless, bored. "It would be best if you didn't not resist,"
This close, Jes's tall stature dwarfed Powchii's. She was made all the more imposing by the darkness billowing around her form. Before he could change his mind, Jes grabbed a handful of the hair on the back of his head, forcing his head up. She then sealed her lips against his, breathing Shadow and her own hollow essence in to the kiss.
If all went well, he would feel the coolness of the Shadow as it slipped down his throat followed by an intense pain as it insinuated itself in his body. The Shadows would install themselves in the crevices of his mind as well as seal up the damage done by the Shinyogo. These physical seals would appear as a strong lattice of hollow bone in patterns of black and white that traced the cracks and sank into Powchii's skin. The seals would be as resilient as hollow bone, but excessive power use would likely cause them to crack under the pressure.
If this procedure worked, Jes would gain a spy whether Powchii gave her information or not. Now that the Shadows were part of him, she would be able to see what he saw and understand some fragments of thought. It was not a bond he would be able to destroy without considerable effort-- or even death-- on his part. There were other strings attached to this bond that she imagined he would discover in time. He might find himself drawn to her or her Court. Because she had infected his soul with her Shadow, he would likely feel a greater tendency to inflict pain upon others. He would also feel a distinct compulsion to follow her orders, and this was aspect that Jes enjoyed immensely. It made for a more loyal follower.
[So, I guess you can describe what the hollow bone looks like ^^]
[Oh! And that was not meant as a gesture of attraction XD It's just how her powers work best.]
