Sun Mar 04, 2012 9:20 am
It was a week after meeting up with a bartender who has an experience that seems to take anyone aback in mild lack of preparation as the group of misfits teamed together under mutual intention of finding an answer to their enigmatic dream of impending destruction; there they stand upon the platform in Karakura Central as they await for the Supply Runner, the train that still runs on steel railing and the one that the bartender foretold to take them into the city that contains their answer. The path the team walk will hold adversity for the old and the young as the appearance of a new line of adversaries are rising numerously and fortuitously as if they alone are capable of challenging the might of the Ziamichi organization, the Yayjuu; for now they must make haste to find the answer for the rise of the monster continues to suspend itself until a catalyst casted its upbringing aurora over its dormancy. The pain of past, present and future are in place as the memories are all but stashed away into the iron grid of the brave souls as the steel railing cries out into a song of industrial intervention; the Supply Runner, the grim reaper of the dream and the angel of passage for the hopeless and the bold arrives with a deathly wonder of fanfare. The bartender each handed the team members a special device that she said to help them carry their stuff while it also hold their information formulated by her to help them get into the city; inside the flip pad was a screen and no keypad other than an orifice that illuminates with a strange green glow that has a spiritual pressure all on its own as the screen was touch based and holds a slip of data labeled, “DEPTH-Com Resume.” There is no turning back from there as the contract was made in their eyes and soul; a sense of duty must be fulfilled in order to protect what they hold dear on Earth and the Spirit World as the monster must not be summoned at all cost and the industrialized city of Minatumi stood as their beacon of revelations.
{Minatumi Arc Event} Train Ride 72633781fd661e08
It was an hour since the dawn of a new day and two hours since the team boarded the Supply Runner that only came once a week and only an hour earlier than dawn; despite the early timing of the train, the grim sight of the Supply Runner is the coffee that some applicants accompanying the team will ever need. As the train carries its cargo, the applicants are preoccupied with the scenery lit up by the dawning sun and the excitement of working for the company supported by the majority of the government and organizations, even by the organizations that some of the team will be familiar; ever since the arrival to the Karakura station and the departure from it, two large, bipedal, armors are hovering by its side without being in its way while carrying auto-cannons that are no doubt more than military-graded, they are experimental “anti-hollow” cannons that to a real military person, means a gun that can bore a hole into an Arrancar’s hierro if it fires only one instead of a burst of five rounds in three seconds. While the applicants are conversing about their dreams of a position with high paychecks, Natalia Ashmourne, one of the team’s members has a plan guide given by the bartender on a way in and out of the city; to enter, the city has a dome powerful enough to incinerate anyone that touches it due to a strange energy source like the one illuminating the orifice of such a strange device and the only way to enter is by train, the Supply Runner while if needing an escape route, they have to dismantle two or three reactors surrounding the city to destabilize the dome and let them through. As for the time being, it seems nothing else is happening as the Supply Runner continues its course for the city without silencing its purposeful fury of screeching and clicking steel on steel as it would remind the veterans of wars of the times they clash steel on steel between life or death, death or pain, pain or relief, and relief or sorrow. Off to the distance that appears to be more than three miles away when it is actually further due to size, the industrial city is vividly present as a landmark of DEPTH-Com’s rise to power as the pharmaceutical giant of monopoly.

In the slum sixty feet underneath the city of Minatumi, there is a ruined church where a girl was tending to a garden of yellow flowers with a glow of green; it was in the morning since the girl’s waking as she takes her time to carefully harvest some of the brilliant flowers from the garden and into the wicker basket and rises from her squatted pose. With the basket of flowers ready for selling, the girl walks out of the ruined church and proceeds through the torn, darkened streets of the slums that were once a town under the sun before it was taken over by DEPTH-Com and before the city above was constructed. Through the ruined streets, the girl was under passive threat of ambushes from forces unseen until too late as she step lightly and quickly; fear creeps no further than her ankles as the feet are aching as if weight was dragging it by the skin on top of it each. Finally she reaches the stairway, the path of safety and new challenges for her to overcome; the challenges involved having to sell the flowers for a hopeful sum of yen to pay off the needs in her daily life. A life of a “slummy” was not all that grand compared to the employees in the city in the sky; they are always poor and sick or weak while the forces unseen are making things harder by having civil war throughout the slums as already there are devastating fires and lives lost as collaterals including lives who are wounded and depended on the girl to get them medical supplies.

It is through the Fleet Plaza that the girl begins to hear about the new arrivals, unsuspecting of the team being the some of them and the news brings new light into the chances as the girl hopes they have a lot of yen and possibly some help that she needs for the people in the slums; she begins her trek further up the stairs from the Fleet Plaza into the city of Minatumi with high hopes glowing in her heart as much as the flowers are. Upon arrival, she stops at the street’s sidewalk to let a car pass by before crossing the street to the terminal with an electronic map in it; the terminal always keep itself update every half second so business folks can avoid sudden constructions and be at meetings on time without delays, but to the girl, she needs the map to find her way to the Intermodal District on foot because the most common way was by hovercrafts or by shuttle and with her misfortunate wallet, she cannot pay for anything for now. Luckily, the map is free so she takes one and off she goes to find the stairway that leads to the Intermodal District that was elevated above the other floors of the city because the Supply Runner can take up so much space, let alone the cranes and equipments to move supplies on and off without getting in the way of the populous; it was at this hour that the girl found the stairway to the Intermodal District and it is at this hour that the train was in visible range of the city. The stairway was wide enough to hold up hundreds of people while technically it was a ramp instead of actual stairway so vehicles and cargo can get up and down without overcrowding the cranes; people uses the ramp as well, but often times, it was dangerous as heavy loads pass through the ramp almost consistently during the morning, but would that deter the girl from meeting the applicants? It certainly has not as the girl climbs the ramp fifty feet into the Intermodal District, determined to greet them and get some good sum of yen for the flowers.

[img][/img]Pierre

Bomber

1-3


Pierre sat in the train headed to Minatumi Harbor. He heard the train cars rattling as they zoomed toward the other city. Pierre found the sounds of the train very disconcerning because from prior experiences he knew when machines moved they were supposed to be fairly silent especially highly modern ones such as this train. He wasn't a very big fan of machines in general, he grew used to things such as cellphones and other smaller objects but he did not trust any mode of transport that was technological. Pierre had thought about just transplanting himself into the city but he heard that was impossible. Apparently the city itself was floating in the air making it impossible for plants from the city to be connected to the ground, meaning there was no way for his energy to get into any plants in the city. Plants in the city, that was another problem. He heard that Minatumi Harbor had very few green spaces which actually made Pierre reconsider going there since he would actually need to grow plants to use in some way. He let a deep sigh as he lifted his bare feet from the floor as he then crossed his legs and sat on the seat in a way that was more natural to him. Pierre had a slightly bleak look on his face. This train ride had been one of the longest times that he had not been in contact with the ground in someway, as a plant iramasha having that contact with the ground was something very natural to him, but all this steel and metals were seriously foreign to him.

He looked around the train to see if he recognized anyone else that was there. They all looked familiar seeing as they had been informed by the cute pub owner to do somethings together but he only remembered one by name, and that was Natalia. He vaguely remembered her from that one day when he achieved his purity form. After that day he had become nicer and more understanding to humans and he thought that Natalia had something to do with it so when he saw her again he instantly learned her name, but he also had other thoughts about her. He didn't know why but he had some feelings for her that he didnt quite understand, he sure liked how boys looked but there was something about her that he didnt quite understand since plants don't really have feelings it was still all new to him.

He closed his eyes as he tried to block out the noise that the train made as it made its way along the tracks to the city. he tried his best to block out all mechanical ideas about the world as a snake like tongue left his lips every few minutes as tiny plants started to sprout on the wood around Pierre.

{Minatumi Arc Event} Train Ride 2itn2va
Colonel of Vizard Corps Spec. Ops.
Ravana Ichiro~Conflicted Hero~0-3+


The flashing sounds, shapes, and sights of yet unknown world; the mechanical beast of engineering that signifies man's first true conquest over nature; even the souls of allies forged from mother necessity. For a day, nay a week full of such utter importance, one would think that any person would be in a heightened state of awareness. However, for one lone man standing stoically apart from the company that had been established since fate first determined to unite them; the past week had been nothing more than this blur of sensory input with very little importance to set it apart from the rest of the information gathered by his sensory memory. It was not as if this man had gone through the necessary preparations for such a grandiose undertaking completely on subconscious processing, but his life had thrown him such a pivotal event that had been ingrained into his character. While any one being could be weighed down by an event of enough traumatic significance to them; to understand the true significance of this specific event and its consequences, we must first better our understanding of this man. Yet, as with any true personal story, the identity of the individual was a key point to begin with for the telling of said tale; this one particular being Ravana Ichiro.

Having been a former Captain of the Gotei 13, member of the Karakura Defenders, and having been the Colonel for the Vizard Corps' Special Operations for quite a few years now: there was already enough about Ravana Ichiro to set him apart from most others. Add his past to the fact that he currently appeared to be the opposite of his general personality, stoic, solemn, and reserved; and Ravana currently stood out like a sore thumb to any who might pretend to know the man. To build upon the emotional signs his body language had been displaying: physical signs such as his hair having a slightly matte quality to its color, his skin holding a lessened flush than natural, and eyes that held a glassy quality really solidified the image that he was deep in thoughts. For those who had known Ravana's personality before this week, such as Yuri and Iori, it would have been overt that there was something going on within the man's mind; and even those new to him chanced the ability to tell that something was off. And yet, it was within the group of people who actually knew him in which the object of his contemplations resided; Iori Sugiura. Yes, the woman whom most had assumed as dead and gone after her last battle with Kin was who occupied his thoughts; their "reunion" being their cause.

As he too had assumed Iori dead, Ravana had been caught quite off guard when confronted with the woman he had formed a "friend/enemy" relationship with after 400 years. It was at that moment that a sort of realization had begun within Ravana; sparked by the woman who had been both a great obstacle as well as a source of motivation. While their meeting after hundreds of years quickly escalated into a continuation of the battle they had been engaged in since before Ravana himself was even a Captain, the odd sensation of internal self awareness lingered within him despite how furious the battle got; and boy did it get intense. To be honest, the exact "winner" or "loser" of their battle had been blurred by the passing events that seemed to meld together in his conscious memory; having left behind only the vague remembrance of a hard fought battle between the determination of two warriors. And yet, it was not the battle itself that had been ingrained into his mind, rather the realization he came to through it and the effects of expressing it. Having taken 400 years plus the loss of her presence to solidify, after their battle, Ravana was finally able to pin a name to the feeling he had for Iori in three simple words; "I love you."

As expected, the initial reaction of the Goddess of Victory had been to take the words as some sort of jest; believing that Ravana was trying to trick her into something. Despite this, he had pushed further; insisting that the words he had spoken embodied his true feelings. While his seriousness and determination did manage to "change Iori's tone", Ravana himself had no idea how she truly responded to it. As expected, the gravity of his words had left a tension in the air; culminating in a long pause of silence between the two. And then, before he even had the chance to ask Iori of her feelings, the woman had fled; as far and fast away from him as she could, or at least that he knew. Having been left there alone, the weight of his confession a burden fully upon his shoulders, Ravana felt frozen in that moment in time. Yes, while rejection may not seem like much to some, for this man, whose innermost feelings had taken hundreds of years to cultivate, the damage was crushing.

Returning to the train car he currently occupied, it is now clearly evident as to why Ravana is such an opposite of his usual self. Having coped with his feelings on his own, Ravana had managed to return to a workable state of mind. The memory of Iori's complete retreat from his emotions still burned into his memory, he was unable to will himself towards those emotions or a facade of normalcy. And yet, despite the lack of an emotional drive, he was not completely devoid of purpose. The dream that had led him to where he currently stood, although first interpreted at delusions, had given him a reason to pick back up his sword. While he may have stood separate from the rest, he had accepted the challenge to change the fate that he had been shown; for in such an act, maybe too the reversal of his own fate could be found. Yes, even with his emotional self in a wreck and unsure if his goals were even possible; Ravana was nothing if not determined.

Yuri Tsukuyomi
Warden of the Northwest
0-3+

The Dawn of the new day could be seen through the window of the Passenger car- The rays of light being shot into the Dark Enforcer's Amethyst eyes ever so slightly. It wasn't really like him to be so content, Considering they had something to do- saith the flower girl from the Bar. Yuri Tsukuyomi looked rather different to his old appearance. Instead of his Wild and free Charcoal colored hair, He had it tied up in a Pony tail- Something he did on the very rare occasion. His clothes also had a "Formal" look to them, Nothing to Baggy, everything fitting the way they were suppose to. His usual Black Clothing has been replaced with a fitted Black, gold, and Red jacket; The sleeves of the Jacket just residing perfectly at his wrists. Under that was a grey shirt that went with the attire perfectly. Although he didn't like the Idea, He was wearing these Golden greaves that go up to his knees- Sometimes uncomfortable, But, manageable. With Teion-en in his Hand as Usual, Yuri's attention was at the window for the most part, Not really looking over at the others. There were bunch of faces that were foreign to Yuri, But, Some that were a bit too Nostalgic. Placing his hand on the side of his face in a bored embrace, Yuri Tilted his head towards the people in the train. The Grinding of Steel on Steel was hindering the Dark Enforcer's Thought process as the Train was just hauling speed towards its Location- Minatumi Harbour. Yuri has never been there, So, It would be a new experience; As well as interacting with the superfluous amount of people on the train itself when the time deems it needed. But, For now, He sat there, acting literally uninterested at the whole Idea.

"I wonder how long this is going to take..."

He muttered those words to himself softly, letting a soft exhale of a sigh escape his throat- After that, A Yawn was expelled. In response, The Dark Enforcer stretched slowly before making his hands reside on the back on his head; His fingers being interlocked with each other as he did so. However, The Dark enforcer may seem like he couldn't care less about this whole ordeal that was coming to the forefront, But, That couldn't be father from the truth. There were thoughts in his mind on several aspects of this mission; Why were we chosen ? Considering the People here, What type of Danger was going to take place ? A superfluous amount of thought was swirling in his head. But, He shook it off as best as possible, Trying to make it seem he was as Nonchalant as always. At that moment, The Dark Enforcer got up from his seat, walking towards the door of the Passenger car. The Silhouette then walked past a person sitting on the floor, But, Tiny plants were beginning to grow around him in a Tranquil Embrace. Yuri Stopped for a moment before taking a look at the Phenomenon that was happening in front of his face. But then, From the corner of his eye, A Familiar face entered his Field of Vision- It was Ravana Ichiro. Yuri and Ravana has had their ups and downs, Fights and friendly conversations, But, They're still civil to each other.

"So, He's here too.."

It's been a while since Yuri has seen Ravana Ichiro, Ever Since that time in outskirts of Karakura. It was a peerless battle against ruffians that have nothing better to do, But, The Two of them cleaned it up no problem. That had to be about 4 or 5 months ago now, A lot of things have happened within this time. Yuri was going to walk up to Ravana for old time sake, But, Decided against it. He took a soft pace back to his seat at the Back of the car, resting his eyes closed and kicking his feet up. Might as well get comfortable.

The noise was nostalgic in many ways to the young-looking blonde woman sitting at the window seat towards the back of the car. They reminded her of earlier days, which machines like this one were just starting out and how far they had come. Considering the fact that this girl was alive, there should be no way she could remember such things; that is a story for another day though. Natalia was the woman’s name, and she looked not a day over 25 as she sat there, her gaze aimed towards the brightening horizon. Her face displayed none of the thoughts going through her mind though; she seemed somewhat at ease with a neutral expression. Things didn’t add up to her; the dream, the bartender, and the city. There was something more to this, and the flower girl from the dream was somehow the key to it, though Natalia couldn’t tell you how just yet. She had been born in a different time, and had learned when to listen to her dreams and when to take them for that; dreams. This was not one of those times, as she had felt when she had awoken from the dream.

Even that event had told her something was off. It had been distant, and it may have been unrelated, but when she awoke from the dream she had detected something near her; a subtle flux in energy, a light noise. It was too conveniently timed considering nothing had actually happened from the dream. It was simply a telling sign to her that something was amiss. It had taken some time, but she had figured out where to go, and who to talk to, and now here she was. She had turned her mind over the dream a million times already; the girl, the dragon, and the presence of that beast. The creature was a threat beyond imagine; she had seen something similar long ago and it had left scars. Her right hand unconsciously moved to her shoulder for a moment. The flower girl was the key, the beast the box, and Minatumi Harbor the keep.

She had reviewed the plan for how this was going to go down already; it was a good plan, but there were dangers with it. Luckily, they did not lack for strong allies; she could feel it from the beings that had also received this strange dream. She was the weakest of them; at least that’s what it would seem like. Considering the nature of her power and such, she probably seemed like nothing but a powerless woman wrapped up in the affairs of powerful beings. Only one of those assembled would honestly know anything beyond that. That would be the same woman that the man who went my Ravana took interest in; Iori Sugiura. Iori was quite possibly the only one on the train who knew that there was much more to Natalia. This was because the two of them had studied Baji Quan together…over 500 years ago. Once time had taken its course, neither had ever expected to see one another again, but fate has a strange way of keep strings intertwined. Again, another story for another day.

The only skill Natalia had shown to any of the others was a small proficiency with martial arts and weapons; only the tip of the iceberg of martial knowledge she possessed. Her hand came away from her shoulder as she watched the landscape. A small smile graced her features rather suddenly; memories of another time were sparked by the scene outside. Another life it had seemed. She adjusted slightly, and drew the strange device out to look at it once more. She hadn’t seen anything like it before, but it seemed to store information and object within an alternate space, which had its uses. There was next to no information on her luckily, and as she lacked spiritual pressure it didn’t detect much there or didn’t seem too. Her cover was intact for the most part.

Natalia was dressed casually once more, a jacket and jeans with a long sleeved shirt below to keep off the chill of the morning and day. Considering where they were heading and what they needed to do, she expected many would be nervous, and had a right to be. To a small degree she was as well; she had lived long enough that she had greater control over such feelings though, and instead allowed herself to reflect on the strange month this had been; the dream, Iori’s return, an increase in spiritual activity around her home. The days were drawing closer to something big; she had seen the cycle so many times now she could read the signs, but they did not point her towards what that would be, only to its coming. For now, she relaxed in the seat and enjoyed the relative silence to a degree. It wouldn’t last long she knew.

{Minatumi Arc Event} Train Ride 860c42966b67035acc34834056776804


400 years. Those words echoed through the mind of the goddess of victory, or rather “Rinko” like the notes of a finely tuned violin. No, Rinko wasn’t her true name, only one she was using to keep her identity a secret. In reality, she was one of Karakura’s former defenders, the second daughter of the Queen Misaiko from the land of the Sugiura, and a once prolific fighter who nearly took down the leader of one of the most heavily sought after organizations, K-world – or the Kokuryuteshi. Her life, filled with as much sorrow as there was happiness, eventually found its end long ago. Only by the blessings of one woman’s earnest curiosity and the fresh memory of a girl who heroically attempted to defeat one of the world’s biggest threats, was she able to be reborn here in this time. Once she grew and acquired new forms of power, her only intention now was to make the best of this newfound life. Where would her path go now? Would she finally be able to make amends for all the wrongs of old? Such mysterious questions were up for fate alone to decide. There isn’t any need to elaborate on “what-ifs”.

Currently, she is boarding the train to Minatumi harbor. Now, while this group as a whole consisted of full grown adults, Rinko was but a mere child compared to all of them. Her frame was waifish, lithe, and small. The reason for this alias was most likely because Iori had no intention of revealing her identity quite yet. She was not entirely ready to return to everyone yet. She still felt that she possessed too many imperfections to come face to face with her friends and family. One week before this even occurred; Iori reunited with one of her greatest friends, a woman with whom she formed a sisterly bond with. Natalia Ashmourne. She was a kindred spirit, a sister disciple who trained with her under the tutelage of the prominent Li shuwen, a man who was so well versed in the ways of martial arts, that all he needed to defeat his opponents - was a single strike. Both of them mastered the arts of Baji Quan and went their separate ways, but the memory and the bonds formed between the two were everlasting. How they reunited was quite humorous, actually. Iori simply found herself entering a city unharmed by hollows and low level demons. It made her curious and she simply traveled to the city to cure that curiosity. When the two finally met, they hardly recognized each other. Iori had grown well into the age of a young adult, so when she died and came back to life, her body reflected the one she possessed during her life as a Sugiura.

Only by tasting Natalia’s signature stew, was Iori able to place all of the pieces together and confirm her identity as the student whose skills enthralled her above the rest of the group they studied with during those days in china. Iori was ecstatic, to say the least. Once the two caught up on each other’s lives, they decided to spar and after a long, hard fought battle, Iori requested something of her idol. The request was; allow her to take on a child’s form and parade around as Natalia’s niece, Rinko Asagi. That is what allowed our little girl to board this train without knowing the slightest idea of where her path would go once she entered this new place. As she stood calmly within a set of small dress pants and a red shirt emblazoned with symbols of dinosaurs and cars, she scoped the area for seats. The moving train did little to hinder her balance. However, seeing one man out of all of these individuals present caused her to fall back in conspicuous surprise. Ravana Ichiro. While there was much history between these two, the most recent reunion between them ended on an abrupt and sour note. It was not Iori’s intention to reunite with Ravana, he was simply strolling through the Sugiura Lands and accidentally happened to stumble across Iori. She didn’t mind, of course, and was actually quite jubilated to see how much he had improved over the years. The only regret…the only regret was when he confessed and spoke the three words that no one should ever speak lightly. “I love you Iori Sugiura. “ The words hit her like an avalanche when she noticed that he was truly serious about these feelings. She didn’t believe they had cultivated enough time with one another for him to fall for her, she never would have guessed it. She didn’t say anything, and ran, ran as far away and as fast as she could.

Thus, upon noticing him, guilt fills her heart like a tumultuous thunderbolt striking the ground. She wanted to apologize, but now was not the right time. There was one thing she was willing to learn, however. Why did he feel the way he did for her? What did he see in such a loud and overbearing woman like herself? Where did these feelings come from? She was eager to ask these questions, but not as Iori. Rinko was going to sit by Ravana and find the answer to the questions that had stuck firmly in her mind since their last encounter. With a deep regulated breath to gather up courage, she walked over to the second seat adjacent to Ravana’s and sat down beside him. With a feigned expression of happiness, she greeted the much taller man in sophisticated clothing. “Hello! I’m Rinko Asogi. I was afraid to speak to all of these other people besides my aunt, but when I saw you, you seemed most welcoming. Do ya’ Mind talkin’ with little ole me?” Her tone was reminiscent of a classic southerner. She normally never spoke like this, but when the situation called for it, Iori could play many roles. Today and for a very long time with these people, she would play the role of a child. Fate would change this, of course, but for now she was content hiding the truth.

It was by no coincidence that this long, rumbling train to seemingly nowhere contained so many of the universe's premier spiritual figures. There was something going on, something... different in the air. It was hard to put a finger on it, but it was definitely rather obvious that something was off... different.

Seras wasn't exactly sure what had called her to board this train. It had seemed only chance, or maybe some twist of fate, that she had been anywhere near the area in the first place. It wasn't her territory, it wasn't her game. However.. she was. She was there. She HAD seen that train... and she had been called to board. She felt a tad out of place stepping on, and even as she chose a seat at the back, she didn't feel like she belonged with anyone else here. They all seemed.. different.. their energies seemed connected in some way. Had a few of them met? It was only a feeling, but maybe there was something valid behind it. Some had been tossing nervous or curious glances around, others seemed to be minding their own business. Seras chose to be one of the latter, keeping her eyes forward on the back of the seat in front of her. Seras crossed her arms over her large bust, her eyes slipping closed as the train rolled along. The noise of the engine and the soft vibrations of the seats helped to calm her as she dwelled over the day's events. It was funny how fast a day can change.

She didn't quite understand why her of all people had chosen to volunteer for a team of people she knew nothing about. Even now they were all strangers to her. However, that mysterious bartender had been very persuasive about the purpose of this mission. Seras really couldn't say no. After all, she may be known as a beast, but her moral compass still read high for the most part. She had met for the train, as promised, and well.. here she was.

Her attire for the mission was nothing short of usual. She was wearing a yellow, button-up shirt with pockets on the left and right breast area and a brown belt around her waist. Along with this was a yellow skirt, the waist of it hidden under the long shirt, that only went to about halfway down her thighs, length-wise. With this, she wore white knee-socks and black boots, buckled up the sides. Seras gave a curt, soft sigh as she curled her legs against her chest, wrapping her arms around them in the seat and resting her head on her knees. She felt mildly motion sick.. or maybe it was simply the excitement of the day? She didn't know.. At any rate, this train was taking her where she needed to be. It was fate, it had to be...






I envy because of the heart.
I glutton because of the heart.
I covet because of the heart.
I am prideful because of the heart.
I sloth because of the heart.
I rage because of the heart.
Because of the heart...
I lust for everything about you.

    There was a quiet. A large quiet that seems to just accentuate the fact that she was perhaps the weakest of them all : her large crimson eyes were blank, as her face was stoic at the same time. In fact, it seemed like she was merchandise : pale ivory skin, and silky black hair that never seemed to be out of it's design. Her body was frail looking and small : her face was childish, even considering her age. She was a doll like thing : the fact that the dreams even reached her was strange, considering she had next to no awareness at the time. The fact she even came along on such a trip was something else : she was something to protect a burden. That crimson gaze stared into the emptiness, knowing that's what went through their minds. After all, humans were resentful of weak seeming things. Rather, it wasn't just humans anymore, wasn't it. It was anything with a thought, a consciousness or an awareness like them. It was a simple thing, really.

    The doll was actually listless, as she slowly blinked. The fact that she was even blinking was part of this. Her body rose, tired of sitting, as her school uniform fluttered into place, her long black hair gliding as she moved, closer to the gaggle of people. Stopping at the door, the doll held in a hissed breath, before slowly moving in, knowing that people would notice. Her first steps were light, as she stopped, looking at all of them, closing the door behind her. Empty crimson orb, and an even emptier blank face. The girl simply stood against the door, facing the entirety of the cart, as those eyes seemed to stare blankly into nothing. Such a strange thing, she knew they would think, for a girl of her age to seemingly be so lacking.

    The dam was build, the wall was sealed once more, so they would never understand. Shisome simply let her gaze absorb the world : every action, every movement they made were hers to take in and understand. Smells, sights, sounds : everything was absorbed into her, as her gaze was empty and lacked no focus. No, the doll was here, despite trying to be persuaded otherwise : for she was but a child, and a weak one at that. The doll had said nothing, and simply continued : she had decided on a path, and a light stubbornness allowed her to continue of course. Would it matter if she died? She was but a doll, something to throw away once used up : but until then, she would watch and learn.

    The power that hid within her agreed to this train of thought, the training from her childhood still present in her in some cases. After all, her parents were unique.. and so was she in the end.

There was a air of importance, Which accentuated the air of the train car. This is where and when Nue entered, having came there for probably different and similar reasons as the others. He himself , was not terribly strong it just was something that is a fact. Though this being said, he was not one to leave someone hanging who needed help. Not to mention, of the many things which went on in the world. There where seldom anyone who gained Nue's respect , the only one for ten years was hanako.


When he entered though, Nue was nothing flashy. Infact he probably was one of the ones, trying to draw as little attention to himself as possible. Due to the fact it might not go well for a Ni, and A Nature shaman of the Iramasha clan to be found here. Then again it also was something that could be the exact opposite as well. Since, flow city was not , well in fact related to iramasha law or protection as far as Nue knew.



Entering the car, Nue would have had a strange presence being not one which was intimidating. But he was graceful in his own way, having when he entered made little if no sound at all his form had entered the car through one of the abridging car connectors. His complexion being more of something that would be drawn up then naturally conceived. His skin was pure white having the softness of satin, While his pure white snowy hair was not of age but was naturally that way; Eyes which where gray, though they never seemed to have a gleam from them. His Composure usually hiding the demeanor within, As this was his mask of sorrow so to speak. As he had looked out He had a slight feel for the energy of the others, but it was nothing special. As he was not really able to see aswell, as he was in his seishi when in normal form. A fact which was annoying but , was easily dealt with.


By now, His form had crossed the car to the far corner; the one least crowded and farthest away from the other people. Since even now in this form he was afraid he'd somehow hurt them as he did to guards and anyone else near him in Blackwing. Now though Simply settling in he waited for the briefing before having then slid his eyes around, For the purpose of taking in the peers in their squad.
He knew though this was not a weak group even though they looked human, they most without a doubt where far from it.
