Acquisitions and Misfortune [Hitoshi/Yuri] CMjCIgX

THE BUTCHER'S SON

Tap. Tap. Tap. The sun beat overhead.

Parasol bobbing as Hitoshi approached the gate, shade hiding him from the heat. Pluses shuffled to avoid him, a blank glare passing over them. The first district was thriving, it would seem.

Filthy goddamn animals. Silent resentment poured out, fingers idly twirling the umbrella. Know your place. Bow, offer your graces. Running is pointless. His gaze slipping across the masses with unmoving eyes. Beg for approval.

The thoughts relaxed as he stared upwards, into the shade of the towering gate. Business called, for the moment. Overreaching little....

"We have an appointment. Sixth division." the man stated, geta planted firmly. "Open." He spoke to no one in particular, passing side eyes as he stepped forward. The gates stood closed still. Another step, and it creaked open; the Kurata passing through without hesitation.

Soon enough, he'd cross paths with a woman he contacted prior by the name of Yuri. Stopping, Hitoshi stared, darkened beneath the shadow. "There is a shipment. Missing. Lost in the 73rd district. As I understand it, this is your department?" Stilted, robotic - rage flush in his skull at the indignity.

'Need to come to the seireitei.' Pathetic display.

Acquisitions and Misfortune [Hitoshi/Yuri] HEADER_Yuri93

Yuri really wasn't sure what had gone on but she was not in a particularly happy mood with what had, apparently, transpired. IT seemed that some individual had lost a ......shipment? OF what, she hadn't the slightest idea. Naturally, WHY this was the Sixth's problem was beyond her, but it seemed the individual in question had decided that he would be bringing his grievance to them. IF nothing else, she supposed she didn't have any Squad Six members to be annoyed at. Just some weirdo to talk to.

When the man arrived, Yuri almost immediately recognized this particular flavor of Blue Collar that this man exuded. Well.... at least he didn't waste any time. She watched him calmly as he promptly laid his greivance on the metaphorical table. She took a single moment internally to take a breath before she smiled and responded calmly.

"Good afternoon Mister.... Kurata. Yes, we received your inquiry into the incident. But I'm afraid that at the time of this....incident, there were no Shinigami in that particular District. So I'm afraid that I don't have any particular insight into the fate of your shipment. Frankly, from what I can see, I don't think this incident constitutes addressing the Gotei. There were no Shinigami involved to my knowledge. The incident occurred in the outter districts quite a ways from our regular patrol paths, and additionally, we do not handle interdistrict commerce in the Rukongai." She explained calmly. She of course, was being entirely courteous. Every word she said was within the bounds of her own professional range. She just also happened to be using a tone one might use with a small toddler.

"Now, the extent to which Squad Six interferes with such commerce would be in the event that the goods being transported would be considered contraban or hazardous material." IN short, anything that would cause a big issue within the realm. "So, Mister Kurata. Is there something about the contents of these shipments that you would like to elaborate on which would make this issue a matter within the jurisdiction of Squad Six?" She asked calmly, certainly a Catch 22 if there ever was one. The only real reason she could see this being their problem was if this individual had been moving something that could endanger the rukongai. He could either admit to such doings, or he could accept that he was barking up the wrong tree.

THE BUTCHER'S SON

The umbrella shifted slightly, Hitoshi skirting a blot of sunlight that emerged from a cloud. Ignorant bitch. Who do you think laws are for?

"It was a shipment for the Gotei." he lied as naturally we he breathed, slowly blinking in turn. "Nothing irreplaceable, but our contracts are strict." Hitoshi's free arm slipped into the front of his kimono, producing a piece of shipping manifest. The paper was neatly cut, several lines of inventory orderly placed with costs and expectant delivery dates.

Nothing a walking cunt can understand. Passing the paper over, he'd continue.

"Medical supplies, we were told. Someone in R&D asked for them." He'd gesture upwards with the free hand, mimicking the brim of a hat before dropping it. "Not someone we want to deal with in regards to missing merchandise." The change in leadership involved someone Hitoshi had little interest in interacting with, something he'd expect from most Shinigami.

Something he sought to take advantage of. "Following our contract, we did some research into the supplies. Several items on that list are restricted in nature. So, as I understand it," the man took a half step forward, bringing the woman into his shadow. "This is your department?"

Yuri perked a brow at that, and smiled lightly. Oh this dumb fucking cunt. He didn't even know. Oh she was starting to enjoy this.
"Oh! Well that makes things a lot easier! In that case if you could provide the Order Number and the Shipping Date for the request that'll make this a lot simpler. That'll let us know exactly what the shipment was supposed to be, where it was coming from, and will give us a good idea of what might have happened to it!" She chimed cheerfully. She didn't necessarily KNOW he was lying. IN fact, it was pretty probably he was telling the truth, why else would he be bothering the gotei? But some small part of her really WISHED this asswipe was lying to her.

She reviewed the request she'd gotten from this guy so far that had been passed along before he'd arrived to speak with her and nodded slowly. "MEdical supplies. Hm, unfortunately with R and D that could be anything, haha." She chuckled, her joy much more genuine as she then tucked the clipboard under her arm and smiled up at Kurata.

"Well this is MUCH easier to deal with then. If you have it on you, like I said before. The Order Number and the Date you received the request. I can have all the details pulled up by the end of the day and we can get to finding out what happened to your shipment! Of course I understand if you don't have it on hand. We would just need that information but after that we'll be able to retrieve the materials ourselves and bring it right to R&D ourselves." She noted calmly, every bit pleased that there was a nice, simple, straight-forward solution to this problem.

Even with the man somewhat infringing on her personal space, she didn't back down. After all, with the information he'd provided there was a VERY clear and concise manner to resolve the issue nice and quick. All he needed to do was provide the information. That he most assuredly had~

THE BUTCHER'S SON

There was no change in Hitoshi's gaze as the woman prattled, standing in silence as he waited for her to finish. Less sense than looks, as usual.

"We just did." he replied, calm and evenly. "If you'd note the header, any and all information required for your filing is present."

The Kurata handled enough shipping manifests to know how to cross wires when necessary. Enough orders sharing enough of the same product, it was almost trifling to maneuver vague quantities around. A lie hidden amongst some degree of truth, the amount of orders filed through the Gotei - much less that of R&D - being its own variable mountain. It helped that the grift was simple.

Duplicate an invoice of an old delivery, claiming initial difficulties with recipients and inventory reporting. 'Something's gone missing', 'something didn't arrive', the usual affair. Beyond that initial claim, truth rapidly dissolved, as the delivery would be dissapeared in transit. A hijack or what have you, reported then to the Gotei.

Between any action taken, the contraband would be moved to street level, at a fairly extravagant markup. Once the order was found, the Kurata would graciously accept the loss, making well on whatever product was actually recovered. Generally, nothing but surplus, something the Gotei or R&D would never make a fuss over having too much of.

So long as it was kept infrequent, the occurrence would slip into obscurity. Margin of error, at worse.

"Of course, it is left to your judgement. Bring in whoever you want, but cooperation in the delivery's retrieval is paramount." Hitoshi's free arm rested back into his kimono, notably unbothered by the exchange. "The 73rd is rather unpleasant, and we'd rather save whatever of your time we can. Of course, anything missing will come out of the invoice's cost."

Sells for at least triple to the sewer rats.

Yuri nodded lightly, thinning her lips for a fraction of a second. Mhm. "Right. I ran the invoice. But nothing came up. There WAS a similar Invoice put in which was flagged as missing and there's already an investigation in the ways for retreiving it. But well...there's also documentation that you were contacted about the missing shipment when it was flagged." She pointed out as she gestured lazily to the piece of paper in her hands. Blissfully unaware of the .....complicated fraud scheme brewing between the man's ears.

All the same, she tucked the packet under her arm and cleared her throat. "At this point, if you want documentation on the investigation, you would get that from R&D. We HAVE the paperwork, but in terms of it being verified and handed out, you would talk to them, though I can see why you wouldn't have registered the order being investigated, it seems your system doesn't have the Correct Order ID. That said, the matter is already being looked into." She assured him.

Well this turned out a lot more.....boring? Than she'd hoped. She certainly was waiting for his explanation on why he gave her the wrong shipping number, but that was not a huge issue. It sure did sound like she'd been brought out here to check on something which should have already been handled. Ugh...she could be eating a beef bowl right now instead of talking to this guy. "I do apologize for the inconvenience." She added with an apologetic (insincere) smile.

THE BUTCHER'S SON

"Oh?" Hitoshi feigned ignorance, arm digging inside his kimono for a moment. Producing another copy of the paper he handed over, the page unfolding as he scanned it with bored eyes. Clenching his parasol with the crutch of his elbow, a finger would line underneath numbers for a moment, a dissatisfied muttering.

"I see what you mean. Nothing to worry about, a clerical addition for filing. These supplies aren't an infrequent order." Folding the copy neatly, it was returned to his clothing as he grabbed the parasol with open hand once again. "Saves us both time, with repeated filing." Turning his gaze back to the woman, a fake sigh followed with a faux bow.

"We're glad to hear it is being investigated." The faintest hint of comradery, beneath his even toned words.

She doesn't seem particularly important. Best not to waste the effort. Turning as he raised back up, his shadow would dart away from the woman with an even kilter step. As he began to walk away, he'd stop, speaking aloud.

"Ah! Of course, the driver signed a waiver. If you can't find them, that's fine." Free hand waving goodbye, the Kurata would leave the woman to her work.
