"hm? oh no, no need for all that. me and God are actually quite close. i beat em in a game of goldfish so he doesn't make me burst into flame when i walk into places like this.."
After amelia mentions hollis' false face, he pauses for a second and rubs it. it really was starting to come apart. even in his gigai it wont hold up, these are the effects of using his shikai and bankai.
"ya know what, you might be right. gaah, but then it'd just come apart again the next time i exert rieatsu. speaking of which, do ya mind if i get a little more, comfortable? thanks.."
Hollis then proceeds to peel off his false face, revealing his 'normal' scarred and burned one. He steps closer to amelia so that he is less than a foot away from her. he touches the area around her wrists and can feel that it's a bit colder there. less blood is circulating in those areas meaning they must be a bit numbed from feeling the same sensation for an extended period of time.
"oh my, we can't have that now can we?"
Hollis fully unsheathes his zanpakto and makes single very shallow cuts on both of her wrists, her ankles, cheek, stomach and neck. just from looking at it, these slits look no deeper than paper cuts, and they aren't, but they do serve another purpose. Amaya would feel the sensation of feeling return to all of her body. in fact, every part of her would feel a bit more sensitive than normal. Hollis then sheathes his sword and hops up on the pulpit stand about five feet away from amelia. he begins to playfully kick his feet.
"do you know what my job was as captain of squad five? I was tasked with knowing everything about every captain and vice captain in soul society. of course i being the good egg i am, took it upon myself to know everything about every SOUL in soul society, pardon the pun. And from what i remember, you just so happen to have quite the interesting past, considering your very short life. A past filled with, all kinds of delicious feelings and sensations.."
Hollis then hops off of the pedastool and walks back up to the girl.
"you know , it's been proven that by activating the correct sensations on the body, a person can be forced to not only remember, but relieve memories. In your case those sensations would probably be, oh i don't know,fear,pain and a feeling of dread or solitude...oh, and why were on the subject! you wanna know how i got these scars?"
Hollis says as he refers to his face, more specifically the ones at the corners of his mouth. His shikai active, He then presses his thumb on amelias forehead, activating her amygdala, the part of the brain that decodes emotion, determines possible threats and stores fear memories. From here on out every word, every syllable hollis speaks would sound as though they were leading to something, possibly ready to strike at her, increasing any feeling of fear she may have.
"So, I had a wife, who was beautiful...like you, who tells me I worry too much, who tells me I oughta smile more, who gambles and gets in deep with the sharks...One day they carve her face. And we got no money for surgeries. She can't take it. I just want to see her smile again. Hmm? I just wanted to let her know that I don't care about the scars. So, I stick a razor in my mouth and do this... to myself. And you know what? She can't stand the sight of me! She leaves! Now I see the funny side. Now, I'm always smiling!lolz, im kidding , that was from the dark knight, good movie though right? but seriously the scars are why i wear a mask most of the time. you wanna see it?"
By now, anxiousness should encompass amelias entire body. even though what hollis has just said normally wouldn't be considered 'intimidating', it's just an effect of him enhancing her amygdala. he then reaches behind the pulpit and grips a red mask with large black ovals around the eyes. He slips it on and glares at amelia directly in the eyes. what would normally look like a mask suddenly becomes distorted to look like a demonic disfigured face with worms and tiny spider creeping out of the mouth and eyes. Whether she realizes it or not, fear would be encompassing her, regardless of if she would normally be scared of what she's seeing.
"not very frightening to a tough young thing like you, but these villains i have to kill, these crazies, they can't stand it..."
