Time for some A+ info-gathering
A recent arrival is back in the Nexus, this time of his own volition. Rather than stop to talk to anyone right away, Hitsugaya spends half the day simply wandering around, noting landmarks and the different districts and trying to get a feel for navigating here. In fact, some residents may notice him flickering into existence - in midair - at various points across the Nexus for a short time before disappearing again.
Later, he's back in the Plaza, familiarizing himself with one of the Nexus Terminals. Upon his initial inspection, the thing seems vaguely similar to the systems used by Squad 12 and Soul Society's archives, appearing to be some sort of... half-database, half-communications system. (What Adina was referring to when she mentioned computers, he hopes.)
As such, he guesses there has to be some sort of staff to manage it - and perhaps even answer some questions. Hoping to get some much-needed information from a knowledgeable source, he spends a fair amount of time hunt-and-peck-ing at the keys, and after a lot of tapping and backspacing and mulling things over, he considers it good enough and hits Submit.
(Does he have any idea that it's about to take over devices everywhere? No. No he does not.)
This is Captain Toshiro Hitsugaya. I'm relatively new to the Nexus and have some topics I would like to discuss. Any information that can be provided would be greatly appreciated.
First, I've found a house along the outskirts of the Nexus that seems to have been unoccupied for some time. As it would be useful for a number of reasons, I would like to make it my residence here. Is there anything I need to do in order to claim it in some way?
Second, I would prefer to keep my skills sharp while I'm here, however I'm concerned about the so-called AV field. It was mentioned to me that it prevents non-consensual violence. Does this mean that sparring sessions would work around the field provided the involved parties willingly agree to it? If so, are there any preexisting groups that offer such things or would be open to the idea?
Also on the topic of the AV field, it looks as though a battle was fought recently. Was the field somehow affected, and if so, has it been restored?
Then, almost as an afterthought, the final line of text reads:
Lastly, what are the summers like here?
...And that's that, it seems.
If anyone happens to be passing by, he'll be at the Terminal for a while yet, poking the keys every so often as he investigates this strange thing called "the internet."

Tch, of course he'd checked. He wouldn't have even bothered asking about it if he hadn't. He hadn't sensed anyone nearby, but he'd still poked around, made some noise, asked if anyone was there just to be sure, etcetera, before venturing inside to find the same lack of any potential inhabitants. Not even raccoons. No signs of anything that indicated recent ownership, either, at least not that he could tell.
"What, you think it's haunted?" He quirks a brow. That's where he assumes the man is going, at least. Not that Hitsugaya is particularly concerned about that, as he fights the cause of most "hauntings" in his world on a regular basis. "I already investigated. There wasn't anything there."
Ohhhh no, nope, nuh-uh, if the man wants to poke around as well, Hitsugaya's gonna have to put the brakes on that real quick. He totally found it first, okay. Finders keepers or whatever. He does not want this guy following him and being a pest.
He eyes the man for a moment, considering whether or not to tell him to go find his own damn terminal because it sounds like Hitsugaya can just look up the library himself anyway, but he steps aside.
"Fine. Make it quick."
(So sorry for the delay! Been up in the mountains with practically nonexistent WiFi. @_@)

The Doctor rambles on, and he damn well knows that to some he might be talking nothing more than nonsense. Ah, the life of looking like an old man sometimes proves to be of an advantage to him. Or perhaps it is a disadvantage.
He leans forward again to take a peek at the terminal, and he touches the screen with his fingers. "This place is a bit strange, and I wouldn't put it past the place to be haunted. Though if you found nothing, then perhaps all you would find are a family of raccoons."
He brings up the map, and enlarges it so it will show the location of the library. "Ah, there it is. It is just a short walk near the outskirts of the plaza."
(Slow is cool here. Summer and work are not good bed fellows. )
