The lodgings for this particular Espada are very different. There is a simulated sky which has clouds that move, a sun that changes position, a moon that comes out for an appropriate amount of time and a small wind generator.
The ground has grass on it, along with a slightly uneven terrain that Ezru enjoys. The terrain simulates a slightly hilly landscape and even has two trees in the corner that have a hammock strung up between them. It is moderately sized (around 15'x18'0, and offers all the amenities that he desires in a home.

"Welcome to the greatest and most calming of all of the Espada's residences!" Ezru said triumphetly as he opened the door to his room which was out of place; a stone door in a swirling skyline. "I love it here... It's so peaceful and relaxing." Ezru breathed in as he plopped himself down on the soft earth. "So what do you think?" Ezru asked smiling broadly.

 Craning her neck back to gaze at the animated ceiling Isidro watched the clouds shift and merge around the artificial sun. All considering the sky alone was enough to make her want to leave; she simply didn’t like the sun. Still, it wasn’t the appropriate time to be exiting for discomfort reasons, instead she let her all encompassing gaze drink in every detail before turning to Ezru. “I do not find this to be relaxing.” Isidro commented while walking farther into the room, approaching the trees, truthfully she’d never been able to appreciate and observe the living structures and although simulations the ones before her would do. Placing a hand against the rough bark, her expression remained unmoving while the vibrations entering the tree gathered at her palm. She could feel and hear the various mechanisms that kept the room running noted each and dropped her hand. For some reason the sensation had been discomforting to the young Arrancar. Pushing that away for the moment, she looked to the deciduous canopy and turned away after a few moments. Later if asked to recall she would be able to accurately describe the position of every leaf, twig and branch from her vantage point.
Appeased for now with her exploration she returned her attention to Ezru and was mildly amused on how he seemed so out of place on the fresh green grass. No matter the circumstance Hollow were best suited to the deserts of their home world, something Isidro concurred with as she found it most comforting to be roaming the sands made from those who’d passed under the moon that symbolized their empty beings oh so poetically. “Estragos,” she began, unconsciously calling the higher rank by the title she’d associated with him at first glance, “how does this room work?” Although she posed the question, her purring accent held nothing to indicate her mood or intentions for questioning. Isidro was most definitely an embodiment of her aspect, Loneliness. She was removed to a fault and unresponsive, a loner and utterly bereft of the need to interact.

"Haha, you can hear everything but nothing." Ezru laughed "I know you of all people can hear it; the gears... I wouldn't even say move... They shift and whisper more then move." Ezru sighed "Most of the room runs on a form of the Domino Effect I suppose. One part moves, and so the rest move. The sun is nothing but a small mirror hooked up to a skylight, while the moon," Ezru paused as the moon began to come out while the sun began to wane in the light "is nothing but a clouded mirror with a light tint to reflect in a different manner."
"The clouds... I'm not really altogether sure how they work. But they work, and that's good enough for me." Ezru smiled as the sun receded completely and the moon came out, the light barely reflected as the pseudo-stars came out and shone softly on the surface. "You may not like it all the time, but it is quite beautiful... And I am proud to call it my room."

”Indeed,” she replied, acknowledging Ezru’s understanding of her own unique abilities. With that single touch she’d concluded how the gears worked, only assuring her assumption by asking for an explanation. Letting a breath hiss out between her teeth she dropped to the ground, crossing both her legs and arms. She was slightly less but off now that the artificial sun had set and pulled her head back up to stare at the false stars. “Beauty is an ecstasy; it is as simple as hunger. There is really nothing to be said about it. It is like the perfume of a rose: you can smell it and that is all. --W. Somerset Maugham.” Slowly dragging her goldenrod gaze down to Ezru, she appraised him, waiting for a reaction.

"It's what I live for." Ezru said as he lay down and stared at the lights as the moved about him "This is my one reprive from Rage and hatred... And from Vincent who is rightfully in quite a bit of pain. Ka-chan said not to go after that Arrancar girl... But he did." Ezru laughed slightly "Stupid. He criticizes me all the time for thinking with everything but my brain, and then he allows his arrogance to get the better of him." Ezru said as he looked at Isidro, a sly smile on his lips.
"I really hope you don't take me for a fool Isidro..." Ezru laughed as he spoke "Because you'll find that although I act like a moron I have the intelligence to predict what happens in a fight based on slight mannerisms that those who I pay attention to show to me." Ezru laughed again, louder then the first time "The visage of the fool is just one to keep everyone in high spirits... And to make me seem weaker then I am." Ezru said as he looked at Isidro "Based on what I've seen of you so far, I know that you hate people, yet you have come with me. Thus I believe you want something. So go on, and just ask for it."

Looking directly into Ezru’s eyes, Isidro was far from thinking the Cuerta could be weak minded. She had no illusions as to the intelligence of the residents of Las Noches nor would she ever. “I do not hate people, Estragos.” As a matter of fact she found the differences of mind both intriguing and perplexing. “I prefer solitude to socialization because of what I am, yet it is best that we all have a friendly understanding of each other. Without such understanding we prove to be unorganized and less than what we are in the eyes of the Shinigami.” With the inability to detect a single hint of emotion from her, Isidro was confident that the answer would at least appease Ezru for the moment. Power was what she wished to gain and if it was through continued cooperation with the Espada then she’d rely solely on them.
“It is not my intention to seem as though I’m forcing interaction when I am; it is directly against my being to find solace in the act. I understand it makes me questionable in the eyes of others, just as it has made me in yours.” Standing in a fluid step her posture was lax as was the norm, turning her face away and up at the false sky. “I will leave if you dislike my presence.”

"Oh, but there you are wrong." Ezru smiled coyly "They accept you with open arms. I do as well, but that is only because I only trust a select few. You are difficult for me to read. As such I will not keep you too close for fear that you might stab me in the heart. Nor shall I allow you to wander off willy-nilly." Ezru said, his smile now genuine "Scientia est potentia. Knowledge is power. It is how I fight the Shinigami. It will be how I learn to trust you. Until I am able to accuratly read you, I shall be watching you like a hawk... Through the eyes of a hawk!" Ezru said as he put a small little sticky onto the skull fragment on her left jaw.
"This is a beauty. I stole the idea from scientists on Earth." Ezru explained "Inside is a small gyroscope that acts as a recording device that measures movement. But I've modified it to only record your reiatsu motions that are from the face and certain parts of the body." He continued "It will allow me to eventually -over time- begin to read you, allowing me to trust you, and in return for that..." Ezru said "You get power. Raw power in the form of back-up. Which is me." Ezru said just as he smiled again "As it records it will be able to tell the body's reactions to fear. So even though your face may not move, your body sure as hell will!"

"I think that is rather degrading" a black portal had opened moments before to let Kitsuchi walk through. With the portal closed he stood there with a small smile upon his face. He of course found the whole thing to be a joke, it didn't matter if someone was trusted or not to him as long as they don't back stab you. The man had a black arm which seemed like the skin from a Hollow but he gave off a odd energy, rather than being that of a Arrancars he gave off one of a human.

"Oh look, it's an annoying failed experiment." Ezru said without even turning around "Haha.... If only he knew what his life was before. Unfortunatly for the human, he doesn't remember anything." Ezru said as he turned around "And guess who has all of the information regarding your original life?" Ezru's smile was purely evil as he continued "As I said before 'Scientia est Potentia'... It's what allows me to work intelligently."
"And degrading is what they did to you in that laboratory that long time ago..." Ezru made a mock crying face "This is not degrading. It's information gathering. I cannot trust what I cannot understand."

"Yet you don't dare kill me, I guess you aren't dumb" Kitsuchi grinned lightly at the Arrancar "And about my old life, it doesn't matter. This is me and what they did to me in the lab made me one of the strongest weapons" he raised his hand and a portal opened up behind him. Taking a step back he sighed "Trust isn't about understanding, its about trusting. Tell Mother that I've gone to earth for a little while" nodding lightly he closed the portal and left.

"Tell her yourself. You can make portals with a wave of your hand-" Ezru paused "And you're mistaken. The greatest weapon ever is not you." Ezru laughed lightly "You will understand one day."

Raising a hand to explore the tiny device, Isidro’s eyes were locked on the special distortion that allowed yet another white haired being into the Cuerta’s room. The exchange that followed was highly amusing but Isidro was moderately distracted by the sound waves coming from the supposed gyroscope. If Ezru was already acutely aware of her ability to collect sound with her body and redirect the signals to her ears for processing, then why had he tacked something so irritating almost directly on her ear? Getting a finger nail beneath the tacky surface that held it on she gently pried away the miniscule technological marvel.
”I cannot wear this, Estragos, not on my face nor mask fragments. I am sensitive to sound waves and a device on my face is highly distracting. Not only that, but the ‘experiment’ illuminated a good point.” Stepping over she gently grasped his hand and deposited the device in his palm. “However, I will permit something that does not disturb my senses.” Her words couldn’t have been more toneless, even with her low exotic purr riding every syllable. Dropping Ezru’s hand Isidro returned to her typical lax posture and remained motionless other than the occasional fall of her white lashes. If he could produce another recording implement small enough to be forgotten and devoid of noise she would accept it without complaint.

"Hmmm...." Ezru thought as he fiddled with the gyroscope when his eyes lit up "Here! It's only has a sensor on it... no minuscule gyroscope. It just senses your own rhythm and uses that to mask itself by reflecting the sound instantaneously, melding it's own sound with your own. It uses your own nerves to make sure it's unheard." Ezru said as he placed this one on the back of her right hand. "Is that soundless enough?" Ezru asked as he looked at her, hoping to get some facial reaction.

”Much less distracting, I hear little to nothing…although, the placement could be better.” Pushing up her cuffed sleeve, Isidro peeled off her black fingered gloves and detached the device from the back of the fabric. Examining the small bit of tech yet again without batting a lash or a single facial twitch she pressed the adhesive side to the underside of her wrist and tugged her glove back into place. Twisting her wrist from side to side and flexing her fingers almost automatically she felt that it was as good as it would get. “There, that should do.”
((Gah, can't believe I forgot to post for two days...))
