This really was the best time of the year to be in London. Chie usually did not give too much about old cities like this, and most of the time, there were better destinations to visit in the human world, like Tokio or New York. But festivals were always great, and even prude britannians knew how to throw a party that was at least visually impressive. So when she had enough off time to take a little trip that coincided with the festival, she simply did so, mingling with the crowd for a few hours and then preparing for the big fireworks over the river.
And what better place was there to watch it than up on big ben? It was the one building everyone associated with this town after all, and it was usually empty, lacking a visitor’s platform for the public. It could get quite loud when the clock struck midnight, but being this close, feeling the mechanism that was older than even she was work, it just added to the experience. And besides, a shinigami could climb it easily, and undetected, so there was no problem at all.
Given that she was not looking for a fight, she did not bother to scan her surroundings for spiritual powers. It did not matter. Hollows were nice enough to announce their presence beforehand, after all. Yet, it still surprised her to find someone else on the structure, some woman, drinking leisurely. Now that was peculiar. Someone else had the same idea she had, how nice. But then again, most people wouldn’t be able to see Chie anyway, due to her having left her gigai to a mod soul below, so she did not bother talking to the other trespasser, only just kind of enjoyed her company by leaning onto the big clock behind her near that woman, sighing.
