Wasteland Campus, A stranger in a Desert (JJ and Crow))

They knew where this place was, it was such a simple matter. That and Washi told him where it was. His frame arrives from a black twisting nether, his body emerging through the Garganta. Jaeden's hands removed his mask revealing black eyes with radioactive yellow centers. His eyes looked as though constantly under the influence of his mask.

Something had changed in the lazy man as he grinned a bit. He could sense many students who'd come to Washi. Wasn't a bad deal if you thought about it. People had trouble with inner hollows. Only a couple masters of the Vizard arts these days. Jaeden was pushing himself further, fusing into a new being with Vait.

The mirror he once saw wasn't broken, he just walked inside it. Walking into his hollow to become one being. He took control of his friend, finding they both wanted the same thing. They weren't two but one, that was the problem with thinking. But easier said than done for the students here.

Best not to cash checks you can't pay the bill for. It wasn't easy the road he took as it had many calamities in its route. How dull it was to sit idle and stare at the clouds, why not reach them and change them. Best to avoid too much trouble scaring the kids. His eyes closed before changing back to normal.

It was a pain to do this but changing his eyes back took concentration, it felt less natural. As though stepping backward, he didn't like the feeling. But it was fine none the less, Jaeden's hollow control had evolved. He was following a path trailblazed by his mentor.

He came here to see Colin Washi, Jaeden read the journal and it moved both he and his hollow. He came to see if Colin intended to carry on the work. Jaeden specialized further into his hollow and vizard powers. He didn't care for the shinigami set.

While his Hoho was excellent and his other skills not shabby, the swordsman preferred this practice. He wondered what surprise was in store from Washi this time. Whenever Colin turned up, something good happened.

He felt the anticipation mounting in his neck, they'd have a fun time seeing their old comrade in arms. Jaeden and Colin got no outstanding offers by the Lux Orior. So both were free agents mostly, Jaeden's role in the Gotei was babysitter to some extent.

Though he'd had some amusing time with Hebi. The doctor would have been a fun fight, shame he missed out on it aiming to die and everything.
