( no. no, tragically they can't.

annoyance soon morphs into confusion as the mirrors begin to spring up all around them. then the flickering image of a woman in a bloodstained wedding dress suddenly appears from within the glass, holding what looks to be a very sharp knife. )

What about her? ( grimmjow jerks his thumb towards who he suspects to be mary. ) Do we ignore her too?

[ Joonghyuk frowns because what kind of b-rated movie is this? He has seen better, but before he can answer the woman in the mirror reaches out nearby and throws her knife full force. It cuts through the air, seeking flesh, and he barely dodges it.

This is cursed. ]

They're making it so we can't ignore them.

[ Puck bats his eyelashes as Mary shows up in a different mirror now, honing a new knife. ]

[arrancar]

Hahaha! I like her. ( look at her flinging her knives! ) She definitely isn't human.

( which means he's allowed to eat her. )

Kill the boy. I'll take care of Mary.

[regression]

[ Does Joonghyuk get to see Grimmjow eat Bloody Mary? Nice. He shoots a leer at Grimmjow, indignant and bristly. ]

Don't tell me what to do.

[ But he will go after Puck because he is the source of their problems. The knife comes singing and leaves an afterimage in its arc, snagging fabric with Puck laughing like a madman. Finally! Attention he deserves! ]

[arrancar]

Don't be so petulant, boy!

( maybe don't give him the chance to find out whether he can eat bloody mary, joonghyuk. it is a mystery that should never be solved.

not that grimmjow is having much luck trying to consume her. she doesn't leave the mirror for long and, even when he shatters one, she simply reemerges from another. it's like a very unfair game of whack-a-mole, except the one wielding a weapon is the mole.

guess he is only left with one option — it's time to shatter all the mirrors.

it's about to get very noisy. he hopes it annoys joonghyuk as much as puck's obnoxious cackling. )

[regression]

[ Grimmjow isn't his responsibility, so the guy can do whatever he wants as long as it doesn't involve him or his favorites. If that means watching him eat Bloody Mary, then sure. Leave him out of it.

The mirrors are making a racket, but he's skilled enough to stay focused. As Puck continues to teleport, Joonghyuk sends a surge of lightning that snaps some branches, maybe scorches some trees, burns some mirror frames. ]

Stop this.

[ Whether it's to Grimmjow and his NOISY PURSUIT or Puck whom he now has by the neck, who knows. Bloody Mary, however, continues her own game and reaches out to swipe with her long, nasty nails. ]
