ELYSS KISHIMOTO| THE YOUNG BEAR


It's just another day. Elyss finds herself helping around the Tavern more than usual. She's not simply just watching for trouble, but this time, she's helping clean up after others. It's just a little extra to make things easier for the Tavern owner and his wife. Though, she wished the customers weren't so messy. One table was covered in blood from a drunkard accidentally passing out and falling onto his glass breaking it and getting his face embedded with shards. No matter how funny that was, Elyss can't help but feel bad for laughing after the man's life was no longer in danger.

This day, since she's helping clean up, she decided to dress a bit more shabbier than usual with nothing but a dirty cream colored kimono around her form held together by stained white bandages with shorts underneath as always to protect herself. Her scarlet hair is tied into a high ponytail, and as she cleans, she makes sure to keep her onyx eyes wandering for any troublemakers.

Today has been rather slow, but that's normal since most are probably working. Only the truly despairing individuals appear at this time. Maybe one lost their job recently and have nothing better to do, or someone has the day off and still have nothing better to do. Well, it's an occurring theme. Only the ones with nothing better to do appear in Taverns. That, or they're celebrating. She's only been working for a few days, but finding the patterns was easy.

In all honesty, she actually wants anything more interesting than a drunkard hurting themselves to occur. She doesn't wish any ill to the Tavern, but she randomly gets these moments where she wants a brawl to happen; give her a reason to knock someone out. Such thoughts startle her somewhat however. It reminds her of how eager she is for a fight and that she has no reason why she's like this. Her eyes flick to the door before returning to the table before her as she works on getting a particularly stubborn wine stain out of the wooden surface.

“Just something more exciting.” She mutters under her breath.

Tavern Days (Private)(Rawk) X8EHjdK



Julian

The tavern was, of course, the place the common man found perhaps most inviting. It lacked the responsibilities of home or of the workplace, and certainly was bound to contain a friend or two. The price of alcohol was, relative to many other commodities, quite affordable, and provided something of an escape from the endless troubles of routine life in the Rukongai. Julian St. Vendemiaire, of course, had none of these troubles, at least not to the same degree as many others. He came to the tavern for wholly different reasons; to seek those who shared his dreams.

Entering into the tavern with a small smile on his face, Julian looked around casually, but of course his gaze was in fact immensely discerning. The cause did not seek ruffians, after all. It sought fighters, brave souls who would give their everything to a brighter future. Drunken louts were not an option. As he took a seat at the bar, the white-haired man gave the bartender a small smile, readying his moneypouch for whatever costs might be levied.

“A shochu, please.”

A simple order, for a simple man. But his gaze did fall to the bartender, not in any lustful manner of course. To an observer it would seem the natural action one might take, looking to the woman as he gave her an order. But Julian was studying her with a hidden care, as much as he had to every other patron in the place. Unlike those buffoons, however, he saw perhaps some potential in this woman. Well, he would come to that in time.

Did someone just talk to her? Her onyx eyes move upwards from behind the bar. She had transitioned from cleaning blood and waste to wiping down the bar counter before this new strange man entered. He's not a regular. He doesn't seem remotely interesting at all; just another nobody coming for a drink to move their day along or to slow it down just enough to wallow in it. Seeing by what they're asking for, they may wish to numb their mind to let the hours fly by without them being coherent to such.

She absorbs his face though, she feels it'd be hard to quite remember him without noting down something specific, and that specific detail is his bleached hair and warm eyes. Though, she has a strange feeling the eyes she's looking in hold many lies and truths; something similar to when staring down an opponent in a fighting match knowing they have many things in their head that they display fully while hiding all strategies at the same time. You can only truly read them after experiencing their actions before you, and if you're too slow at retaliating, you lose.

"I'm not the bartender." She speaks up quickly and in one short breath returning her eyes down to the counter wiping away. The man who usually makes the drinks is at the restroom.

"I will get you your drink though, sir."

She has some experience with these sort of things. Her hardened face didn't show much warmth to him, though, despite her manners which weren't top tier either. She is more like a bouncer than a waitress. It's not her job to show kindness. It's her job to appear tough to keep the place from falling apart. She doesn't know this man, and thus, will give him the coldness that shows she's not one for any sugarcoating or entertainment for patrons. He's not earned the right to see her more... friendly side.

The towel in her hand is tossed over her shoulder as she steps away from her cleaning and returns, soon, with his drink placing the glass shochu before him returning to her cleaning afterwords with long, slow, powerful, movements to quickly get her job done efficiently.

Julian

“Ah, no? Well, I'm sorry then. I should thank you for taking the time to do so.”

The young lady's assumption of the responsibility was a good sign for Julian. Yes, it was incredibly minor in comparison to a lot of things, and he knew that. But he also knew that most people would have simply either ignored him, or told him to wait for the bartender proper to come back. Stepping into necessary authority was good. He took a satisfied sip of the liquor handed to him, and indeed needed to hold back a cough due to its strength. Well, this was indeed shochu.

Continuing to study this barkeep as he drank his (faintly unpleasant) shochu, the white-haired man thought idly, mostly about the current situation in Soul Society. Little had changed in the grand scheme of things, but the Coalition was assuredly growing. That was all Julian could ask for at the moment, and he knew that sooner or later, the time would come. Thinking for a touch longer, and taking another sip from his glass, he posited a question to the woman behind the counter.

“How are things in this part of the Rukongai?”

She only shows concern for his thanks by bouncing her shoulders in a weak shrug finding it more necessary to finish wiping down the bar. Though, his coughing fit did bring a small smirk to her lips as her eyes flicked up for just a moment to watch his first struggling sip of the powerful beverage. He should have just gotten Sake if he can't truly handle the drink. Well, why would one even ask for a drink they couldn't handle if not wanting to quickly lose focus on everything? For a moment, she wonders why he's here. He looks bland, but he also doesn't seem like the normal everyday individual that walks in. 'Keep an eye on this one.' She mentally notes just to be sure this man isn't more than he seems.

She didn't keep his eyes on him for long uncaring if he watches her. Many look at her with lustful or drained eyes. She wonders why she feels nothing when many do so. Maybe they're just not her type which makes her wonder about her type at times. 'You're getting distracted.' Her mind mentally notes cutting her strange thoughts off right before she hears the man's voice.

'How are things?' She looks up and pauses for a moment wondering if she should answer. "Things are repetitive." That is her answer, but she feels she should add just a bit more as she goes back to wiping the bar. "Always someone with a problem, always a hazy depression in the air, and always commotion." That's a good overall answer she feels.

"What brings you? You don't have that... stank like so many who comes in here?" She might as well get something like this, and she is direct with her suspicion of him showing little kindness about her wording. Hard onyx eyes focus onto his person trying to get a read of him before he could speak.

Julian

"Repetitive? Ah, that does sound quite right. Does life in the Rukongai not always seem that way? Day in and day out, always surviving but never living. Yes, 'a hazy depression' does seem quite fitting. Well put."

ulian liked that answer, and found it all too agreeable in its accuracy. This woman certainly had the outlook and the potential to be all too helpful to them, but of course that had been the case many times before. If Julian simple took in anyone who seemed competent, he suspected that their cause would have been wiped out long ago. He did not look for conviction merely to maintain some sort of ideological purity, but rather to ensure that there would be no dissension when that, in itself, could doom them all.

"What brings me here? Ah, nothing in particular. I simply listen for the good word, keep an ear to the ground for the people. Life is hard enough without needing to listen for news or gossip. To that end, I seek to make their lives a little easier. After all, no others seem willing to take up the task."

Well put? She just didn't sugar coat her words. Though, maybe she did just put things in a more favorably appealing way than she meant. No concern to her, however, if one thinks her aptitude for explaining the overall blatantly visible issues around is top notch. Still, despite everything, the Rukongai has yet to completely fall apart and devolve into the pure savagery it very well could be. That means one thing. There is some law even if not as forefront as it should be governing the daily existence of everyone. With her set mind, she doesn't take note of much she doesn't need to. In fact, it's been a while since she's had to think about life beyond the Tavern; think back to before she was blessed with a job such as this.

"Life is hard for those who don't know how to climb. Some have yet to even crawl." Her movements become slow and thoughtful; long swipes from left to right in a never ending circle. Isn't everyday just like this? A constant circling movement? For a brute, she has quite the mature thought process. Probably from always being inside her own head so much.

"There is something out there though. The world around me is bad, but it isn't as bad as it could be. Someone is pulling the strings." If only she truly knew of the Shinigami and their whole purpose. Knowledge of Rukongai's caste system would have no doubt answered all her questions she never wondered. Though, she is no fool. She sees there is some sort of hierarchy simply by walking from point A to point B. The issue lies in her lack of care for what has nothing to do with her. Yes. She has noticed the groups of people dressed in black patrolling, but she was usually out shopping for her boss, and with her one track mind at times, there was no room to investigate such things. Though, that still leaves her blatant ignorance to when such beings stepped within the Tavern.

"What keeps this world stable if not perfect? How would you better everything?" Those two questions causes her to stop. Even though the answer is simple, she still stops in her motions looking back up to the man actually caring for his features. How strange? She's actually conversing with another without having things devolve into a slugfest. That alone is enough for her to give this man a bit more of her attention.

Julian

Julian, truth be told, was unsure if this woman was merely playing coy with him for a moment, but he realized all too quickly that she seemed genuinely uninformed as to the full state of the Rukongai right now. There was, all too briefly, a touch of disgust that flooded his mind, but it was of course replaced with a more rational desire to inform. Being judgmental would get him nowhere. Well, not in this context.

“Our 'stability' is kept by the shinigami of the Gotei. After all, it wouldn't do to have this realm of theirs in some state of total anarchy, would it? From what I've heard, that used to exactly be the case before they were established. I'm not sure I believe that, however. And even if I did, does it excuse such unilateral authority?”

With a small frown, Julian drank of his shochu with far less trouble than he had the first go around. The topic of conversation had given him a great deal more mental steel, as it were, and his displeasure was rather apparent just from his tone of voice. As the glass was emptied, the man set it down on the counter with a measured level of control, though in truth just speaking about this made him quite aggravated.

“Do you believe in the merit of strength above all else, miss?”

ELYSS KISHIMOTO

Tavern Days (Private)(Rawk) 6EdIfMt


The shinigami? This man makes it evident that something has displeased him. Though, she now knows more of these shinigami. Are they the men and women that sometimes march into here for drinks and party dressed in all black? They seem uniform enough to be the governing and police force of the Rukongai. She had not paid much mind to such with her mind more occupied on watching the ones who cause issue. But, that does cause her to question why none that have come within have taken it upon themselves to bring order.

'If this world was in such dire state before them, is their govern bad? But, you've seen the outside and depraved world as it is.'

Her movements fully stop. With a quizzical gaze, she looks around the Tavern. Unilateral authority... Who else needs to be weighed in? Does he mean the people; the one's the shinigami are governing? The leader should listen to the people, should it not? That sounds fair, but fair is a term that is determined by those who can force such definition on others.

"If you are weak, then, why do you sit at the top? Won't something stronger simply take your spot then? Though, strength has many shades just like the color red. Strength in mind and strength in body are just two examples. But, strength is also a tool used for abuse, and strength used to bully the weak simply means you are afraid to face other strong people."

She looks at him with a small smirk.

"The strong deserve such power for their efforts, but that does not make the weak useless, nor should they be abused. All in moderation I suppose. Our leaders should listen to it's subjugates, and if not, they aren't the best of leaders. How else will they handle what is wrong if they will not hear what is wrong?"

Julian

"The 'strong' of the Seireitei do nothing more to protect us than what is absolutely necessary. We are but a statistic, something cared for out of duty rather than compassion. Even that might not be so bad, but those outside of their quota are lucky to simply never interact with the Gotei at all, for all the good they do."

Down the rest of the shochu went, though Julian made no gesture to have it refilled. He had, after all, only ordered it as pretense for his being here. Now that conversation had been struck up, there was little need for any further inebriation.

"More than one has the Gotei decided it would be in their best interest to simply relocate catastrophic fights into the Rukongai, fights which cost uncountable lives simply by their scale. We have been invaded many times, and yet despite that all of the greatest defenses go directly to the Seireitei, even when the Shinigami within are surely powerful enough to defend themselves as it stands.

"So tell me, miss. Why would that power, and our lack thereof, make us so much less valuable? For what purpose does the Gotei even continue to lord over us? Simply for the sake of the authority in itself? So far as I can see it, that does no good to us. In fact, it damns us to lives where the only avenue of strength is capitulation, to join the regime and gain power on their terms.

"That, to me, is unacceptable. I will not stand by while the people must simply accept the judgments of those mightier than themselves, when that very same might is forever out of their reach unless the Gotei so allow it. Let the Gotei burn, I say. Let the people of the Rukongai forge their own future. A day will one day come when the Gotei is not so monolithic, when their authority wavers even the slightest bit. And tell me, miss. Do you believe that the people they have left in the dust will let that opportunity pass them by?"

For all he had spoken, Julian's tone was not so different from when they had started. This was not the first time he had had this conversation with someone, but it was a bit more than that. He knew that becoming emotional about this topic was not only needless, but would rather obviously give away the full extent of the passion he held for this cause. As it stood, his tone seemed almost disinterested, as if simply positing a philosophical question. What interested him more than anything was how Elyss would respond.
