The Garden - Birthday Party!!

[Kolbertt]

In case the constant raving, free food, etc. is too much for your body (Or soul if we go technical) you can always enjoy the free air!

Due to the unique properties of this place, we have a pool, a coast, a set of natural mountains and a special set of dunes for riding around -

There have been rumors of sandworms running around in the desert... So see if you can catch the golden one!

[Mad_Scientist]

Aoihana sat in the peaceful garden, looking around. She felt that all the bustle and inevitable insanity of the rest of the hotel was probably not the best place for her. Surely, here she would be able to best move along her journey and fufill her destiny.

The pool looked quite nice, but of course Aoihana had no swimsuit. But surprisingly, or perhaps not so surprisingly considering how sureal everything was already, she found one just her size, with her name on it, over next to a small dressing room near the pool. She changed into it, a modest one-piece suit that looked just like the type of thing she would buy (creepy), and then jumped into the pool. She wasn't a spectacular swimmer, but she was decent, and she enjoyed swimming some.

[Magest49]

Tenaku found himself wandering into the Garden. Looking around he was quiet pleased. Being around people wasn't his favorite thing for he never really fit in. Looking around he found it interesting that there was a coast. Smiling he walked over to the beach, taking his shoes and socks off, and walking ankle deep into the water. Taking a deep breath he closed his eyes, feeling the wind against his face, smelling the salt of the water. This is where he was most at home, most relaxed. Leaning his head back he thought he could stay here forever.

[Superunknown]

Gwen seemed relaxed on the Garden, time for a break from those idiots she lives with. She eyed the panorama while smiling a bit. However, she had a premonition that Kizer would somehow break this relaxing air. And when Gwen has a premonition, it always happens.

Noira was gleeful with the videotape including Kizer getting kicked over by the Séptima Fracción and hugging the Novena Espada. She would watch it nonstop. "Roja will be proud..." she pondered while she watched the tape the twentieth time.

[Gol D. Roger]

Itō found himself in the middle of the beautiful Garden, surrounded on all sides by greenery and the breathtaking natural wonders of dunes and mountains. As he proceeded through the area, his eyes alighted upon a pool, with a couple of people relaxing.

He strode over, his zanpankutō spirit Akebonohtori still perched on his shoulder. Reached the edge of the water, he kicked off his shoes, then pulled off his socks, and rolled up the pant legs of his tailored crimson slacks. With a comfortable sigh, he sat and dipped his feet into the water.

[Shdo]

Ja'eq entered the garden, it was a serene place, he enjoyed the perfect breeze that blew onto his long hair. There were only a few people nearby, no one he found particular interest in, so he just stood there.

[Unicorn]

Sayuri

Quite alarmed by the sudden transition from Seireitei to this random location with so many unfamiliar people, Sayuri moved around trying to find a quiet spot where she could keep to herself.

One glass of juice and a plate of vegetarian food later, Sayuri happened to wander into The Garden.

Several people had already found this place. Sayuri moved quietly, trying to find a quiet spot where she could eat and enjoy the solitude.

[Hiraeth]

Sisko sought sanctuary in the garden, mostly because with so many trees she hoped she would be able to hide from the creepy arrancar with the tentacle fetish. She found a particularly large tree and was surprised to find it the shade under it already occupied by a girl with brown hair wearing a black dress (Sayuri). She hovered nervously for a moment, unsure if she should go find her own tree, then plucked up and bowed nervously. "Uh, hi, I'm Sisko. May I join you?"

.......................................

Kiku had also discovered the relative peacefulness of the garden. She was currently amusing herself by sitting in a tree, compiling a profile of each of the guests in the immediate area, which she entered in her modified communicator. She was particularly intrigued by the pale man in the long white coat-like outfit. Then suddenly she noticed the species of tree she was sitting in, and excitedly turned her intention to investigating that further.

.......................................

Philippe was another of those seeking fresh air. He'd dismissed Stern for the evening, and the last he'd seen of him, the other man had been heading for the buffet. Philippe wondered idly if that meant he was going to try to eat something. It was unlikely.

So many people in masks was making him nervous, so he headed towards the ocean, passing a small, pink-haired and barefoot girl who was stomping determinedly towards the sand dunes.

.......................................

Suvi could smell the sand. It called to her, she couldn't restrain herself from heading towards it. When she reached the dunes, she shrieked happily and dove head first into them. She swam through the sand like a fish, occasionally launching herself out into the air, then plunging back down. This was her idea of heaven.

[halfnhalf]

Seth was on his way to the party...actually just wandering aimlessly wondering where the party was held, when he was suddenly transported to...a hotel? Seth didn't give a thought, and entered the hotel. It was another one of his days off but he didn't want to go drinking after his last experience, he just wanted to go on an adventure...someplace hot...some place refreshing. While searching for a place like this, Seth stumbled upon a little dessert with a sign saying....warning...dune-worms afoot (OOC: I assume this is within my freedom Kolbertt). Seth had loved the Dune books as a child well actually his brother from another mother did, but he was fascinated with the dune-worms. The air was muddy, it was freakin' hot! after all it was a dune under a blazing sun, one that Seth actually cherished...it was a great day! The sky was the bluest he had ever seen it, and he could see in a very very far distance mountains and even water? Probably a mirage Seth thought to himself as he took a step onto the dune and said "Ima catch me a duneworm I will...time for the huntin' to begin!"

Only problem was...he didn't see any duneworm in sight...perhaps someone would come along and help him?

[Magest49]

Looking over his shoulder Tenaku sighed. He could see several people had entered the Garden and there was bound to be more on the way. To make matters worse he noticed that they all wore masks. 'I knew I forgot something...' he thought to himself as he walked back to his shoes. Letting his feet dry he put his socks and shoes back on, deciding to try his luck somewhere else in the hotel. He had his breath of fresh air so why not enjoy himself somewhat. After all it was a party. Smiling to himself he walked out of the Garden.


EDIT: Walking out of the Buffet Hall and into the Garden Crimson went right for the dunes. Ignoring the sign he looked around for anything to ride, quickly finding several ATVs. Moving over to them he jumped on one, smirking. Without any warning he started up and tore lose, jumping over the nearest sand dune. Laughing he continued to jump off the dunes, heading farther into the area as he did. (Now, if there isn't any ATV's then make mine go "poof" and I'll land safely into the sand only to get eaten by worms.)

[Superunknown]

Gwen and Noira noticed a pink-haired Arrancar among the trees (Sisko) and decided to cheer her up because according to her a maniac with a Tentacle Erotica passion was on the loose. Gwen inmediately knew it was Kizer whom she was referring to, and proceeded to tranquilize her. "That guy won't bother you again, with me you'll be safe". Noira emptily eyed Sayuri, nontheless. Both of them walked towards Kizer in the long distance.

[Mad_Scientist]

Aoihana did a few more laps in the pool, watching the various figures enter the garden. A young man wearing a grey suit caught her eye. She thought she might have seen him before, but wasn't certain. After watching him head towards the ocean, Aoihana got out of the pool and followed, still wearing her swimsuit, as she figured she might go into the ocean waves a bit.

Walking up to the man, she greeted him, saying. "Hello there, sir. My name is Aoihana. I am from Karakura Town." I am a human, not a Hollow, Shinigami, arrancar, or who knows what else, was the unspoken message there. "Have we met before? You look somewhat familiar, but I can't quite place you."

(OOC: Actually, I'm not certain if Phillipe and Aoihana have met or not. I'm fairly certain they haven't spoken to each other, but I can't remember if they were ever in the Wolf at the same time.)

[Unicorn]

@ Superunknown - re: please check my PM

...

"Uh, hi, I'm Sisko. May I join you?"

Sayuri looked up in startlement, then smiled hesitantly. "Uhm, sure, if you want to."

She shifted aside a little, then glanced up again. "You're not eating?"

[Superunknown]

@ Unicorn: Did you send me a PM? For some reason I didn't recieve it...

Kizer was trying to be less noticed for his perverted scheme to be done perfectly. He sat on a cliff overlooking in the sea watching girls taking baths with his binoculars. He got a whole lot of nosebleeds and lustful thoughts. What he saw on a forest nearly made his heart stop. He saw his prey (Sisko) with Gwen and Noira.

"It'll be great, I'll show her my love! ♥" Kizer smirked while he whistled to the ocean. "Cthulhu! Come here!"

Kizer called a huge tentacled beast to make Sisko fall in love with him. He didn't know that she feared tentacles.

This is Cthulhu for those who don't know Lovecraft:
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/62/Cthulhu_and_R%27lyeh.jpg

[Shdo]

Ja'eq started to tune his violin, it made him relax and forget that he is surrounded by so much scum. Someone yelled from the cliffs and it made Ja'eq sigh.

Understanding that the peace of the garden will be broken pretty soon he decided to leave, maybe there will be more quiet in a place with less attractions? He moved directly to the buffet, hoping that if people eat they don’t talk nonsense.

[Magest49]

While attemtping a backflip with his ATV Crimson lost control, fell off and hit the sand. Opening his eyes slowly he swore just before having the ATV land on him. After a few moments of struggling he was able to pull himself out from under it. Standing up he brushed himself off. His black suit was just covered in the sand, filling his pockets and shoes as well. As he began to walk back to the main Garden he started to pour the sand from all the places that if filled, still doing so as he walked out of the dunes. Still looking all sandy Crimson looked around for something to dust himself off with, but with no luck.

Sighing he decided that maybe the sea breeze would clear more sand from his suit. Pouring the sand from his shoes before walking to the beach, grabbing a pocket sized stick first. "I can use this later.." he said as he slipped it into his pants pocket.

[Kolbertt]

A sudden lighting bolt fetl from the sky and burned Cthulu to a crisp. Magically enough, not even traces of him where left, and life continued like nothing happened.

"We apologize, but Chtulu was not an approved guest. It'd be greatly apologized if you don't summon anyone else:uhuh"

Mircalla was behind Kizer now.

"Please, remember to behave and not go on crackish behaviour"

[Superunknown]

He turned watching the Primera Espada. "Eh... Sorry?" He said nervously so he couldn't get crushed by her wrath. His effective plan was halted by a rule, and now he had to think about a way to live lustfully without being noticed.

(OCC: Actually, I planned Cthulu never to appear, Kizer was high and started chanting. But he DID appear :fu)

[♠ Saint ♠]

The lure of a tuned violin caught the ears of the ever-sensitive Yugao. The sound drew her like a moth to flame as she entered the garden. Her long white dress was formfitting around the chest, waist, hips and a down to her knees where it loosened for a flowing bit of elegance in an otherwise classy ensemble. Her mask rested on her face, covering it completely but the way she'd painted it made it look like she only had half a mask on. The other side was painted with an imaginary take on her own face with metallic red lips, a silvery nosering, small faceted crystals lining the top of her eyebrow, and a stylized tattoo of a falling star across the cheek. She'd adorned herself with pearls and silver - necklace, earrings, bracelet. Her shoes were high but classy with a line of rhinestones across the toe strap. In her hand, she carried a glass of wine and in the other, her own violin case. Whomever was playing must surely enjoy a fine taste in music if they were playing such a noble instrument.

Her ears lead her to the sound, her dark hair streaming behind her unbound and fettered only a few pins and clips and a fresh white stargazer lily behind her ear providing a splash of pink to her white outfit. The man came in sight and she hailed him with a nod.

"If you play well, sir, I would like to play with you," she said.

[Hiraeth]

Sisko shook her head at Sayuri's question as she sat beside her "No, I've lost my appetite, the tentacle fetish man has ensured that it is highly likely that I will never eat again."

.............................

Philippe looked up in surprise as Aoihana introduced herself, although they'd not met directly, she was one of the people he'd had watched, and it seemed oddly fortuitous that they were meeting here of all places. He offered her a low bow, taking her hand and kissing it gently.

"Bonjour mon chere, my name is Philippe, and although I do not originally hail from Karakura town, it is my current abode." He released her hand "It is a relief to see a friendly face."

[Unicorn]

Sayuri

"Its all vegetarian." Sayuri responded, misinterpreting Sisko's comment as her being allergic to seafood. "The potato salad is quite nice, would you like to try some?"

Sayuri held out her dinner plate to her, then remembered that she hadn't introduced herself. "Uhm, I am Himura Sayuri, 4th Division, pleased to meet you."

[Final Boss]

Gabriel walked throughout the garden uninterested in the food and entertainment, he was here for the ladies. He scanned the area for potential targets and found two beautiful women unaccompanied by any male, good a start as any. He walked towards the pair sitting under the tree, examining them as he went. One had pink hair and was dressed in a white dress while the other was a brunette dressed in black.

Gabriel approached them both and attempted a graceful bow, "Greetings beautiful ladies, enjoying the party?"

[Shdo]

Ja'eq found himself back in the garden in a series of illogical and FORCED turn of events. Confused, he looked around him and saw a elegant woman approaching him.



"If you play well, sir, I would like to play with you," she said.

Elegancy is rare, its beyond race or rank of power, and should be allowed to grow and flourish, how can he turn something like that down, "my violin is at your service, miss…?"

[Hiraeth]

"No, it looks delicious, but I really have lost my appetite" Sisko decline politely. "I am one of the Septima Espada's fraccion, but don't be worried that I'll attack you, my abilities are healing ones, except when I am in resureccion form, but as I don't have my zanpaktou I can't go resureccion, not even to protect myself from tentacle monsters."

This last, breathless, comment suspiciously coincided with Gabriel's appearance. Sisko swallowed nervously, wondering what horrors this newest lothario would visit upon her person. "Couldn't be worse than tentacles..." She muttered out loud, then offered a shy smile to the man, trying to give him the benefit of the doubt before condemning him "The party seems nice, although I seem to have lost both my master and my family. How are you enjoying it, Sayuri-san?"

[Superunknown]

Kizer's voyeurism was taking it too far, he was now hidden inside a fake rock watching girls taking a bath. It was all perfect until someone smashed down the rock. Normally, one would think a guy would've done that, but...

"What are you doing, Kizer?" Gwen asked the frantic stalker. Gwen had superhuman strength in contrast to her sleek, teenage appearence.

"What I do is none of your business, get lost!" Kizer replied.

She grabbed Kizer and handcuffed him. Kizer's perverted mind thought Gwen would take him to bed and do him some weird BDSM rituals, well, her exposed cleavage made him a bit excited.

"I like crazy women the most" Kizer replied to number 69.
"I'm not doing what you think I'm doing, pervert" Gwen spoke with a relative calm.

She grabbed Kizer and threw him to the ocean as far as she could.

"That'll take care of you for a while!" Gwen shouted to the crazy man from the distance. Noira came by and Gwen told her: "We're going to the Arcade"

[Unicorn]

"Espada's fraccion." Sayuri lowered her dinner plate, staring blankly at the other girl. No Hotaru (zanpaktou's name), and I only have one salad fork. :yell

Then, a strange man suddenly leaned down, seemingly to try and look down her top whilst offering a greeting. Sayuri slid backwards as much as she could, wrapping her shawl tighter around her shoulders.

"Greetings beautiful ladies, enjoying the party?"
"How are you enjoying it, Sayuri-san?"

Sayuri glanced morosely from the man, to the espada's fraccion, to her unfinished dinner.

"Yeah its going well." She responded to both people. "until 5 minutes ago" She finished the sentance mentally, wondering if she would be able to finish dinner before she herself got eaten.

[Hiraeth]

Sisko noticed the other girl's expression and her face fell. "Oh, um, I'm glad that you're having a good time..." She searched around for something to say "Your dress is very pretty Sayuri-san."

Suddenly she saw Kizer being launched through the air by the Numero 69. The mere sight of him forced her to whimper, like a whipped puppy, and she pulled her knees up under her chin and wrapped her arms around them, hiding her face as well. It was truly a pathetic sight to behold.


[OOC: Why is Gabe of all people the first to approach them. From one tentacle monster to another... poor Sisko]

[halfnhalf]

Seth wandered on to the dunes, under the heat, he walked silently and in a crotched manner. He tried to remain quiet and tried waiting but the dune worms didn't appear at all. Wanting to find some duneworms, he cranked up the heat...he engulfed himself in fire and as the heat became more "hot" the sand started to move slightly, turning bright red, he felt something move underneath, and then suddenly a dune worm popped out of the ground and dove into the sand, moving it looked like a dolphin skipping in the water...Seth didn't let this chance go.

He ran as fast as he could after this duneworm...trying to shoot it with the low caliber pistols he had on him....its really hard to shoot a moving target in a desert...or at least a place where its freakin hot and the air distorts things.

[Shdo]

The sound of automatic gunfire was heard and a hail of bullets hit the ground before the dune worm, causing it to pause.
Why Lana did even fired on the worm? She didn’t really cared; she only opened fire on something that someone else fired on.

After she took the Yaoi picture back in the main hall she 'dived' into the rift and into a open place (can't let her teleport into a building), the dunes were perfect.
As she watched the picture (and got a nosebleed) she heard gunfire and soon after the sandworm burst from around the nearest dune with a familiar face chasing her.

"Finish it!" she yelled at Seth.

[Superunknown]

A figure emerged from the sea, covered in algae and moss. A pair of handcuffs restrained him. That man shook it all off and with anger broke his handcuffs.

"Goddamn Número Sexágesimo Noveno (#69)... Throwing my beautiful persona to a dark ocean with some heavyass handcuffs! She's got some nerve, that woman. I should really get a girlfriend before this gigai blows up, any woman that is not morbidly obese, gross, nasty and whose name is definitely not Noira, Gwen or fucking Roja."

"Hey, casanova, how's it going?" Kiso appeared on the beach to salute his bloodthristy alter-ego.

"How do you think I'm doing? I'm angry at Gwen because she practically defeated me without breaking a sweat!" Kizer replied.

"You tried to flirt with my top subordinate!? Now, that's having some nerve, besides if I had a penny for each time you get destroyed by a woman I'd be over the million dollars."

"Don't play with me!"

"I'm just saying the truth, that's all. I'm smart, you're an idiot. I hate idiots, they should dig a hole and die there for all I care."

Kiso smiled and left to meditate on a Zen-inspired garden behind the forest. Kizer was extremely irritated. His face was all boiling in anger, many veins were exploding, he had a cold, and his tuxedo was ruined. What could be worse for him?

(OOC: Anyone may "play" bothering Kizer, I have no problems with it :fu)

[Magest49]

Crimson's attention turned to the desert after what he thought were gun shots. Turning himself around he went into a full speed run toward the sounds. After a few moments he hit the desert, slowly 'cause of the soft, hot sand. Looking around he thought he saw a giant worm. Blinking he came to a stop. Chasing the worm was a man, apperantly named Seth, and a woman watching. Suddenly Crimson smiled excitedly. "Finally! Something to do!" Sand kicked high into the air as he started after the sandworm. He was going to try and catch it live with his bare hands. :wha

[halfnhalf]

Seth turned around immediately when he heard the extra gunfire, but before he had time to look over his shoulder the duneworm had kicked sand into his face. When the sand cleared, he saw Lana...it had been a while and then well nothing. A man had tackled Seth perhaps by accident...Seth got up. He looked at the duneworm headed towards Lana, he looked back at the man..."Oh its the laugher!...wanna help me catch this worm?...the same offer goes to you Lana! catch dat worm!" Seth didn't wait for an answer, he ran full speed with sand flying everywhere and shots fired wildly all around Seth and the duneworm. Under the bright and strong sun and the clear blue sky...it was quite a fun day...quite a fun day indeed.

[Superunknown]

Kizer forgot what happened minutes ago and hid himself in some bushes and started peeking on bathing women. The nosebleeds he got were big enough to make a city of vampires progress for a year. However, his pleasure was broken by his other half. Kiso, at one mountain screamed: "Peeping Tom on the bush!"

The girls (and accompaining boys) noticed Kizer and started chasing him to beat the living shit out of him. "Why does the worst happen to me!? God Almighty, why me!?!" Kizer thought loudly while fleeing.

[Shdo]

"EEK!" Lana screamed as the sandworm changed course and charged at her. The last thing she wanted was the damn worm to ruin her dress, "RIFT BOMB!"
She raised her hand and a sphere of shimmering light started to grow above her hand, "stay there!" she threw the shimmering ball in front of the worm causing a massive kinetic push to all sides from the impact zone. The worm was thrown backward and landed on its back.

The little sand that did hit Lana was absorbed into rift space, keeping her dress clean.

[Magest49]

Crimson

Crimson was back up and chasing the worm, just barely hearing what Seth had said. Smiling brightly when the worm flipped back he jumped up into the air, landing on the stomach of the worm. "Hah! I got it!" he yelled as he started to squeeze it tightly. The worm wiggled under him before flipping over once more, laying itself over him. "Ah cra.." his voice was drowned out as he went under the worm. The worm started moving once again, away from Lana, with Crimson attacted to the under belly.

Tenaku

Upon walking out into the Garden Tenaku started after some sounds in the desert. He walked slowly, not wanting to stumble upon anything weird or anything that might want to hurt him. When he finally came to where he heard the noises he stopped, his jaw dropping. Before his was Lana, a man shoting at a giant worm, and a red-haired man clinging to the under side of the worm. "What the hell...?!" he said rather loudly.

[Superunknown]

"This is pure gold!" Roja was strolling besides the mountains with a recorded tape of an homosexual couple of Shinigamis dancing. She took out of her pocket the trademark Tearjerker and tried to locate Kizer to play him a joke, with or without the Quinta Espada twins. She eyed the panorama looking for the victim, and she found him... being chased by an onslaught of angry girls and their boyfriends.

"Wish Lala & Lulu were here to watch this!" She talked to herself while she was watching Kizer jumping off a cliff.

[Gol D. Roger]

Before long, Itō heard a loud commotion coming from the desert. The noises echoed between the huge dunes, causing a loud effect.

It sounds as if there's a good bit of fun going on over there, Akebonohtori remarked.

"I suppose that means you want to go over and see what it's all about, then?"

You know me oh so well, Haruki-chan, said the phoenix.

Itō sighed and pulled his legs from the pool. It was a beautiful day, warm air, the sun glinting off of the cool, crisp blue water in front of him. He stood, looking first at his socks, and then his soaking wet legs.

With what came remarkably close to a wink, Akebonohtori flapped his wings, and a hot, yet immensely luxurious breeze swept from his shins to his feet, drying them instantly. Itō chuckled in disbelief, then put on his socks and shoes, and rolled down his pant legs.

"You're different today," he said, as they began walking towards the desert. "I didn't know you could have this much... free reign in a physical form."

Well... Something tells me today is a particularly special day.

[Mad_Scientist]

Sisko
Philippe looked up in surprise as Aoihana introduced herself, although they'd not met directly, she was one of the people he'd had watched, and it seemed oddly fortuitous that they were meeting here of all places. He offered her a low bow, taking her hand and kissing it gently.

"Bonjour mon chere, my name is Philippe, and although I do not originally hail from Karakura town, it is my current abode." He released her hand "It is a relief to see a friendly face."

"Thank you, Philippe. Yes, this place is certainly... odd. I'm guessing all of the humans who have been brought here are spiritually aware humans who know about Shinigami and Hollows, but I'm not sure for what purpose we've all been gathered here along with them. It is odd.

I assume there will be dancing in the Entertainment Salon later on. When the time comes, if you having trouble finding a suitable partner, feel free to seek me out." Glancing around the area, Aoihana went on. "I'm not sure either of us will have much luck finding anyone else to dance with. I said this already, but this gathering is... odd."

[Final Boss]

Gabriel was surprised to see Sayuri retreat further away and take on a more defensive position, did he do something wrong? He was also a little confused as he heard the pink haired female mutter something about tentacles. At least both girls were enjoying the party.

Not waiting for an invitation, Gabriel positioned himself between both women and smiled, his arms stealthily slithered around both girls shoulders as he slowly pulled them closer, almost like... tentacles.

"You both look stunning today, very sexy."

He was not aware that Sayuri disliked to be touched and didn't hesitate to make physical contact. He turned his head towards the girl dressed in white and wondered what her name was.

"So Beautiful, I have yet to hear your name."

[DarkPulsar]

Erin


Erin headed out into the gardens, already eager for some fresh air. While she wasn't one to avoid socialization, she wasn't exactly comfortable with large crowds, either. She looked around for a comfortable spot to sit down. Not far from where she was, she spotted a beautiful cherry tree, and decided to mosey on over. She quickly leapt to a particularly sturdy, unoccupied branch, and gently laid back, closing her eyes and enjoying the fresh night air.

[halfnhalf]

Seth looked at the red-haired man, seemingly not noticing the other man that had just arrived. He was...too into it! The sun was still shining bright, and Seth jealous that he had actually attached himself to the worm...not really aware of his pain. Seth yelled "I'm not gonna let you out do me!" and with this he chased after the worm while he let flames once again out of his body. This time a sea of dune worms came out there must have been five at least, and they seemed mad about disturbing them and about the mistreatment of the other which seemed much much smaller in comparison.

Seth didn't waver, he only smirked pulled out his pistols and dodged the massive worms dives for him. He shot them but the bullets just bounced off their skin. Seth stopped in his tracks and then the sun disappeared...blocked by a massive worm that was about to squash Seth, Seth crotched, bend his back forward, stretched his legs out at the same time, and spun to the right using his own momentum, he managed to dodge the impact but the sand was pushing him back, with another swirl of his body, he propped his knees up and pulsed them giving them a good jump, that managed to get him onto the Wurms head. The red haired guy was riding the small one and when Seth saw him, he stuck his tongue out and yelled at the top of his lungs "I BET YOU CAN'T RIDE ONE OF THESE!"

[Mystic Serenade]

Keiji stood on the shore, looking out in the ocean. He didn't feel all that much like socializing at the moment, so he had decided to go on a little walk. It had been a long while since he last been to any beach. He sighed in content as the sea breeze blew past him. It was comforting somehow, it was nice to experience it again.

Just for reference

[Magest49]

Crimson

Crimson managed to poke his head out of the sand as his worm tried to dig into it. Growling he looked at Seth. "I'll beat that!!" Dragging himself out of the sand he pulled the worm from the sand, grabbing it around the tail and spinning it over his head. Waiting for a big worm he looked around. Suddenly, a worm even bigger than Seth's, not by much but still noticibly bigger, popped out infront of him. It was apperently mad that Crimson was hurting the little one and dove forward at him.

With a smile Crimson jumped into the air just above where the worm hit the sand, landing on it's head. Turning the same way the worm's head was Crimson laughed. As it brought up it's head he swung the smaller worm, landing it's body in the bigger ones mouth. Pulling on both sides of the worm Crimson managed to stay put as well as stop the worms movement. "Let us see you control on like this!!" Laughing he kicked into the worms back, causing the worm to start forward above the sand. "And if ya can, let us race!!" He smirked over his shoulder toward Seth as he passed him by.

Tenaku

Tenaku watched the two of them, Seth and Crimson, as they preformed like idiots. Laughing he looked over to Lana. Walking over he gave her a friendly wave. "So, you here to watch there idiots or just escaping the party?" he asked as he sat down next to her.

[halfnhalf]

Seth saw the not by much but noticeably bigger worm. He saw crimson commandeer it and heard his challenge loud and clear. He may have beaten him in size by luck but in speed...a smaller more agile worm always wins. But the distance was growing...he would have to find a better wa- he paused. Seth found the way. If I just crank up the heat and apply it there then... Suddenly flames appeared around Seth hand, as he threw the flames at a constant rate at the dunes ass...well not directly...more under it...for a little PUSH! Seth went flying! A huge amount of sand flew into the air as the big yet not biggest worm fly forwards at an incredible speed. Catching some of the dirt with his other hand, he threw it in Crimson's face as he dusted dat sucka!

:p

[Magest49]

Crimson growled loudly as he blocked the sand with his hand. Quickly he grabbed the stick from his pocket, knowing now was the time to use it. Letting go of the smaller worm he slid all the way to the back of the big one. Pointing the sharper end of the stick downward he stabbed it into the butt of his worm. Jumping back into position he grabbed hold of the skin of the worms head as his worm was now pissed. Quickening it's pace his worm bite down hard into Seth's worm's back, halting both worms. Smirking Crimson yelled out, "Worm fight!!" Laughing he tightend his grip as his worm let go, backing up a bit.

[Shdo]

"nah, I just took a picture in the party and wanted to watch it in quiet, then I got here and saw Seth firing on the worm and joined the firing instinctively."

"But never mind this," she gave Tenaku a hug from behind, "do you think I can get piggy ride back? I don’t want to get my shoes dirty in all this sand…" she then whispered to his eat, "pwetty pweeze?" and gave him a :wtf look.
sure she didnt have a problem returning on her own but where the fun in that?

[Hiraeth]

I assume there will be dancing in the Entertainment Salon later on. When the time comes, if you having trouble finding a suitable partner, feel free to seek me out." Glancing around the area, Aoihana went on. "I'm not sure either of us will have much luck finding anyone else to dance with. I said this already, but this gathering is... odd."

Philippe nodded "It would be a pleasure, and you're quite right, I'd much rather dance with a pretty girl like yourself than, say, the scythe hollow that I passed earlier." A momentary shudder passed through him. "Still, perhaps these hollows aren't entirely as horrible as they are made out to be, some of them are even human shaped, I believe they call them arrancar..."

He trailed off, into thought then suddenly realized that he was being rude and apologized with a shrug "I'm sorry, I'm just curious, if even hollows aren't as evil as we believe them to be, then what other races might we have to re-evaluate our estimations of? It is food for thought, oui?"

"You both look stunning today, very sexy."

He was not aware that Sayuri disliked to be touched and didn't hesitate to make physical contact. He turned his head towards the girl dressed in white and wondered what her name was.

"So Beautiful, I have yet to hear your name."

Sisko raised her head and sniffled "It's S-sisko, and- and you should go away. All males are monsters, except for Durante-sama, and even he's a little monstrous some of the time."

She put her head back down and went back to sniffling into her knees. Part of her wanted to immediately run off to find her master, but there was no telling who she'd run into if she did so. At least here she could see people coming, inside the building the rooms were smaller, so she'd have less time to escape from them. She needed some time to gather her courage before she attempted the dash to her master.

[Superunknown]

Kizer somehow survived the attacks, actually, the chasers fell to their doom when he jumped off the cliff. "That Kiso is definitely going to die by my hand!" Kizer talked to himself as he always did, regardless if anyone heard him or not. He composed himself, repaired his tunic, brushed his hair and used a French Cologne to attract the ladies. He wandered around the forest in search for his "soul mate".

==0==

Kiso was having a nervous breakdown because one of the four Hindu statues surrounding the meditating platform had an ear cut off. He wanted that someone could repair this abomination. He sighed and set himself to meditate despite a constant foaming on his mouth because Ganesha's left ear wasn't there. He finally stood up and said "Screw this".

He listened to a violin in the horizon and took out an acoustic guitar and played an acoustic rendition of Jimi Hendrix's Little Wing while he was locating the source of the violin. He found the Sexta Espada playing the violin, and amazed by his talent he went to spark up a conversation. He felt that Espada hated idiots as him, and at least loved music and experimentation.

[Unicorn]

Sayuri flinched as the pervert suddenly sat down between them and began trying to chat. However, she didn't panic and flee as was her usual habit.

She was too confused and oddly concerned about the Espada's fraccion's seeming depressed response to the unwanted attention Didn't fraccion eat vice-captains for breakfast?

The pervert didn't feel like a shinigami, nor a hollow, nor a proper human.

It was the hand crawling up her back that triggered both Sayuri's need to flee and her protective instinct.

"Sisko-san." Sayuri said, just before reversing her salad fork and stabbing it hard into the pervert's arm, although the thick jacket probably blocked most of it. Almost at the same time, she simultaneously got to her feet whilst reaching for Sisko's wrist.

"Run."

[halfnhalf]

Seth was neither amused or happy to see two huge worms fight to the death....he was CRAZILY AMUSED!!! well not really but it interested him. Seth knew his would lose if nothing happened, so he took out some new-age super huge steroids....you never know when you'll need them, and he threw them into his worms mouth. The victor would be decided soon, as Seth's worm buffed up and grew sharper teeth, apparently worms react rapidly to steroids and thier much more affective.

Seth smiled widely as he stared at Crimson..."You know, my worm will win"

[Hiraeth]

Sisko looked up again "Sayuri-san? Oh!" Sisko's own instincts kicked in at this point, she couldn't allow the other girl to fight on her own, and so she grabbed the first thing that came to hand and lobbed it at Gabe's head.

It turned out to be a coconut, but she didn't have time to apologise for her poor choice of projectile, before Sayuri had whisked her away. As they dashed for safety, Sisko managed to pant out "Have you also had problems with tentacle monsters Sayuri-san?"

[Magest49]

Crimson

Growling loudy he jumped into the air, landing on the other worm. Taking his stick in hand one again he went for the eye, stabbing them out. Laughing now he jumped back to his worm landing between the eyes. "Go go go! You can kill that blind son of a bitch!" Crimson yelled to his worm as he continued to laugh. Now that his worm once again had the advantage he grinned at Seth. "Oh, I'm sorry! Did your worm need his eyes?!" Once again he started to laugh.

Tenaku

He looked at her and smiled. "Alright, I guess I can." Moving to his knees Tenaku let her get on his back before standing. Turning away from the two fighting worms he started back out of the desert. "So, what picture do you have that you'd want to look at it in private?" he asked looking over his shoulder just as he walked out of the sand and back to the main garden.

[Shdo]

Lana started to blush, her head became completely red, "it's…yaoi…" she buried her face in Tenaku back, "I am a little sick person…not my fault, its genetics…"

"You know, you are really strong fellow…I always end up getting carried by you, hope its not a bother. And another thing, why are you not dressed with a suit? If you didn’t found one you can find one in one of those rooms, it seems that somehow everything we need is open for grab (totally boring, what the fun if it's actually given to you?)"

[Magest49]

Tenaku laughed. "So I'm guessing you're one of the people who took a picture of that kiss in the dance hall? Don't worry, I'm not boterhed by it. We've all got something like that."

Stopping he looked for the rooms she indicated. "Well, for one I'm not the party type and I didn't feel a suit would fit me." He looked back at her again. "Besides, this was in my budget." Smiling he looked back infront of him. "Though I could use a mask."

"I have to say, you look very good in that dress."

[Shdo]

"Thanks, you know, you are a real sweetie. And for that I demand that you will at least look for a suit, after all I can't give you a dance if you won't find one.
You are better than most people and should be rewarded as such, I won't agree for you to be poor by choice, I am your guardian angel and you can be sure that you can always find easy jobs with me, and the reward will be massive."

[halfnhalf]

"Well for your information worms don't need eyes, the eyes on these ones aren't even used so HA!" Seth laughed at his opponent. (btw...worms don't have eyes :p but these ones have redundant ones lol) Seth wasn't gonna let some shrimp take out his worm, he burned the ground underneath and behind his worm, it jumped forward and latched onto the neck of the other worm. Seth smiled...."mines gonna win!"

Suddenly he felt a rumble underneath the ground, ignoring it, Seth wondered how Crimson got a stick from his pocket...where the hell did he get it?

[Magest49]

'Damn! I don't want my pet to die!!' he thought as he started to kick Seth's worm. Eventually it let go but his worm was now bleeding. "Okay, I guess I'll have to swallow my pride..." he said to himself as he looked at Seth. "I give up! I know my worm isn't going to win and I'd like to keep him for as long as I can!" he said grudgingly to Seth. Patting his worm on the head it lower down, lying flat on the ground. Climbing off Crimson looked up at Seth. "Good fight! I like you man!" he yelled with a smile.

[Mad_Scientist]

Philippe nodded "It would be a pleasure, and you're quite right, I'd much rather dance with a pretty girl like yourself than, say, the scythe hollow that I passed earlier." A momentary shudder passed through him. "Still, perhaps these hollows aren't entirely as horrible as they are made out to be, some of them are even human shaped, I believe they call them arrancar..."

He trailed off, into thought then suddenly realized that he was being rude and apologized with a shrug "I'm sorry, I'm just curious, if even hollows aren't as evil as we believe them to be, then what other races might we have to re-evaluate our estimations of? It is food for thought, oui?"


"Arrancar..." Aoihana mused. She had never heard that name before, had not known about the human-shaped Hollows, but she was not surprised that there were some things she did not know. Much of the info she had gotten from her uncle, he himself had gotten from Shinigami, and they might not want the existance of Hollows with such a semblance of humanity to be well known.

"Yes, you have a point. 'Hollows are evil, Shinigami are, if not exactly good, necessary, and the closest thing to good.' That is what most people who know anything of such matters probably believe. But perhaps that is not truly the case. It is definitely something to think about."

[Magest49]

Tenaku

He smiled at what Lana had said. "It's no problem and I guess I could get myself a suit. I wouldn't want to pass up that dance." Setting her down Tenaku turned to face her.

"Well I thank you for your kind words. I didn't think you cared so much about me being poor by choice." He laughed. "Though I'm sure that if I continue to hang around you that will change in no time, whether I want it to or not. Now, wait here and I'll find a suit and mask for myself." Smiling he walked over to what seemed to be changing rooms. Finding his name on one of the doors he went in. Inside he found himself a traditional black suit as well as a mask.

Mask (http://www.theurbanfox.com/images/foxmask1.jpg)

Walking out of the room he put on his mask, rejoining Lana.

[Shdo]

"Of course I care, you saved my life and the little I gave you is nothing for me so until ill save your life it’s the least I can do," she smiled as he went to look for a suit.

He returned with a regular suit to Lana disappointment, "hmm…next time you go buy some cloths call me and ill fix you with something more fitting…does being poor ruin your sense of style?" she said without realizing how rude it was.

"But I like the mask…" she grabbed Tenaku arm with hers, "so, I was wondering, do you have any fast speed move with those rings of yours? And how do you look in military uniform?"

(its mission related, but since this is a filler it wont have actual effect on the canon story so its better to leave it unanswered )

[Magest49]

Tenaku couldn't help but laugh. "I'm sorry I've got horrible fashion sence but this is the kind of thing my father wore when I was a little child." He looked at her. "And no, being poor has nothing to do with it, the memory of my parents is what that is, but I can call next time I go shopping if it's that bad."

Smiling he walked with her toward the entertainment salon. "I'm glad you like the mask. I thought it suited me." Once again he laughed. "Why would you wonder such things? I think it's fairly pointless here."

(I'm sure you'll find out exactly what he's got later so I wont answer the question.)

[Final Boss]

Men were monsters? What is she talking about?!

Gabriel was pondering why Sisko would say something so absurd when he suddenly felt a sharp sting in his arm. He immediately flinched in slight pain and looked down at his arm.

A fork?!

Gabriel pulled it out of his arm, it had drawn blood but the wound itself was only minor. He looked up to ask why such a beautiful girl would stab him but instead saw a rather large coconut flying straight into his face, hitting him with a loud thunk.

"Ow! What the..."

He rubbed his head and noticed the two women running away, his first attempt looked to have ended in failure. But Gabriel was persistant.

"Hey! Wait! I only want you to bear my children!"

With that he began to chase after the pair curious as to why they would run away from him.

[Shdo]

Ja'eq played a few tunes with miss Yugao and really enjoyed that, he really felt a deep connection to the young girl.

On the corner of his eye he noticed Sisko and another girl running from a guy who said he wanted them to bear his children.

With a swift move he blocked the human path, "don’t you have decency? Don’t you understand that a man must be a gentleman around woman ?(either respect them or murder them in the back alleys of London) your screams are pretty vulgar and tarnish this occasion…I demand you stop this behavior and leave those girls alone, especially the pink haired one…otherwise ill be forced to bring her owner…and it will be merciful instead of me dealing with you."

"this party is rare chance for my group and those black clad genocidal freaks to be in the same place without ripping body limbs, people here don’t need a trash like you to break their peace, if you want to 'hit' on a girl you will do it in a manner that fit a man."

[Final Boss]

Gabriel looked with disgust as a man blocked his path. As he spoke about being a gentleman Gabriel couldn't help but feel a little confused.

Gentleman? Being honest with a woman and speaking your mind, nothing wrong with that.

Gabriel was certainly not in the mood to deal with an annoying male, especially one as ugly as him. If he was held up too long then he would lose the two girls. He lightly pushed the man aside and continued to run after the pair.

"Can't you see I'm a little busy right now? It's a party enjoy yourself, away from me."

[Shdo]

"Scum everywhere, I need a drink…" even if he usually doesn't drink alcohol just like that, he had to subdue the pain in his brain. at least the girls wont be impregnated against their will.

Ja'eq moved towards the buffet, "maybe I should go back to planning 'exterminate humanity' plans like in the old days?

[Unicorn]

Sayuri tried to pick up speed, dragging the other girl along. Tight formal dresses didn’t allow room for anything more than a fast walk. There was the sound of tearing fabric, and Sayuri muttered an unladylike word.

"Have you also had problems with tentacle monsters Sayuri-san?"

Sayuri mused over the question whilst running.

"Hey! Wait! I only want you to bear my children!"

She looked over her shoulder “We call them perverts in Seireitei. And maybe.” She didn’t want to tell any more, not comfortable with talking about her private life with a random stranger.

They headed straight for the doorway leading into the Buffet Hall.

[Hiraeth]

"Oh okay" Sisko didn't want to pry so she didn't press the matter "I just call them tentacle monsters because nine times out of ten the ones that come after me actually have tentacles." She shuddered "I hate tentacles."

They entered the buffet area.

[DarkPulsar]

Erin hopped down from the tree she'd been people watching from, landing gently on her feet, looking around. The mountains in the area were gorgeous, and the beach looked incredibly inviting. She took off her heels and padded softly down to the beach, noticing that someone else was there, unexpectedly. She sat down, not worrying about dirtying her dress, and curled her toes into the sand as she enjoyed the night air.


"What brings you all the way out here?" she asked Keiji.

[Hiraeth]

"Arrancar..." Aoihana mused. She had never heard that name before, had not known about the human-shaped Hollows, but she was not surprised that there were some things she did not know. Much of the info she had gotten from her uncle, he himself had gotten from Shinigami, and they might not want the existance of Hollows with such a semblance of humanity to be well known.

"Yes, you have a point. 'Hollows are evil, Shinigami are, if not exactly good, necessary, and the closest thing to good.' That is what most people who know anything of such matters probably believe. But perhaps that is not truly the case. It is definitely something to think about."

Philippe smiled "Then we are in agreement. I must admit it's rare to find someone from the Living World who is actually willing to be open minded about this kind of thing. Most people have had experiences with shinigami or hollows that turned them against the entire race. While the reputations of both races are quite well deserved, there are always exceptions to the rules. In my time I've met a number of both shinigami and arrancar who are sympathetic to those of us in the living world.

"Perhaps one day I could introduce you to some of them, I'm sure you'd find their opinions incredibly interesting."

[Mystic Serenade]

Keiji looked down at the young girl sitting in the sand.

When did she get there? Well she's not that much of a bother...yet.

"I just came out here to look at the ocean, what about you?"

[Superunknown]

While humming the Mission Impossible theme song, Kizer slid through gardens and to earn cred in the art of love, he went to the Buffet Hall inmediately to devour food and... other things.

[Kaoru Miyazaki]

Bael stood on the shore before the sea, looking out at the waves, one arm wrapped around Kaoru's shoulders. Both of Kaoru's arms were encircling the taller shinigami's waist. The two of them were smiling as they observed the rolling waves breaking on the shore at their feet. Strange how a walk on the beach can suddenly become a walk down memory lane.

A warm coastal breeze caressed them, playing with Kaoru's long unbound hair, which caught Bael's eye. "All these years and you've never cut your hair any shorter, Ruru.", he chuckled softly. "Is it because I told you that I really liked it this way? Ah well, it looks so much better now that it isn't held up in a ponytail with several Kenseikan in it..."

Kaoru removed one of his hands from Bael's waist and reached back, keeping his hair from getting too untidy. "Yes, that's right... I kept it this way because you liked it this way. I tossed those Kenseikan away, since I always hated them, even before you took them out of my hair. But that's not all. I also kept that purple Kazanohana Usuginu that was stained with your blood... Of course, I can't wear it, but the thought of tossing it away never even entered my mind." He pulled their bodies closer together, nuzzling against Bael's chest once again.

[DarkPulsar]

"Pretty much the same," Erin said. "I don't really like people all that much, and it's nice and quiet here. Too noisy and crowded in there," she explained, once again going quiet.

[Dizzy]

Claire had settled, away from the others, on the veranda's railing, still not entirely certain just what was going on. She'd been issued an invitation from who-knows-where, suddenly transported to a random hotel with a whole zoo of other partygoers, and most confusing of all, all around her, the same sorts of black-robed people and monsters she associated with the afterlife were attending the party as well.

Unsure whether she should be freaked out or enjoying herself, she'd settled on grabbing a plate from the buffet, a glass of fine wine, and enjoying the outdoor view.

[halfnhalf]

Seth looked over at the red haired kid, he wasn't that bad...he had kept up with Seth. Seth now looked at the creatures in front of him, he felt kinda bad for the drive of competition had made him harm an innocent worm. "Yea, you're not to bad yourself!" Seth snickered and did that weird flick of his nose with his thumb.

He sat on the sand, petting his own worm. "Here, you can have mine, I'll take your in and get it some worm first-aid later. "So...did you hear anything about a mask and a suit....I heard that they're for the party but I haven't gotten one"

[Mad_Scientist]

Philippe smiled "Then we are in agreement. I must admit it's rare to find someone from the Living World who is actually willing to be open minded about this kind of thing. Most people have had experiences with shinigami or hollows that turned them against the entire race. While the reputations of both races are quite well deserved, there are always exceptions to the rules. In my time I've met a number of both shinigami and arrancar who are sympathetic to those of us in the living world.

"Perhaps one day I could introduce you to some of them, I'm sure you'd find their opinions incredibly interesting."

"That would be quite nice. I have been interested in learning a lot more, about the Shinigami and Hollows and the spirit worlds, but I have not met anybody who even knows they exist until very recently," Aoihana said.

"I think I will check out the Buffet Hall and see what sort of refreshments are available. It was a pleasure to meet you."

Aoihana headed towards the Hotel's Entrance. There was quite a collection of odd people in the garden. She considered stopping to talk to them, but passed most of them by. Stopping by the pool, she entered the changing room and put on her dress again, still wondering about how a perfectly chosen swimsuit bearing her name had been available for her.

As she neared the Hotel, she noticed a pretty young girl with streaky blond hair leaning over the veranda with a glass of wine and a plate of food. She had big eyes, and for some reason seemed to give off an aura of innocence and purity. An odd thing at this party, as Aoihana doubted very many of the beings there, even the decent ones, were really very innocent at all. Perhaps this image the girl had was just an illusion, though.

Seemingly on a whim, Aoihana walked over to the girl and introduced herself. "Hello there. My name is Aoihana. From Karakura Town... in the human world." Aoihana added the last part, as she wasn't totally certain the person she was talking to was a human. If she was, then Aoihana suspected she would learn that she was also from Karakura Town.

[Dizzy]

Claire

"I ... wha? Karakura?"

Claire noted that the girl who had just approached her had felt it necessary to specify that she was from the human world. Did that mean Aoihana had seen the black-robed people and the miniature monsters and come to the same conclusions? It was too impossible for words, and yet here was another, likewisely affected person. From her own town, no less.

"Ah," she settled on saying, "I'm from Karakura too. Haven't seen you before, I don't think. Though I don't live in a good part of town, so I wouldn't expect that I would've. Umm, you probably shouldn't go there. Ever."

Realizing that she was rambling, Claire abruptly shut up. She normally would've shied away from this stranger, but seeing a friendly face in this afterlife-infested mess of a party had been an enormous relief. A question suddenly came to mind.

"Umm ... are we ... dead or something?"

[Mad_Scientist]

"Three humans and counting so far, and all of them are current residents of Karakura Town. Interesting..." Aoihana made a mental note of her observation, then responded the the obviously scared girl's questions.

"It's true, I don't usually decide to take a stroll through the bad parts of town, but I've been some places that might surprise you. But there's really no need to get into that now."

Aoihana put on what she hoped was a reassuring smile. She could still seem friendly at times. And some of her friendliness might even be genuine. "Don't worry, I'm fairly certain we're not dead. And despite the fact that many of the... ah... beings here are not exactly known for their friendlyness, I do not think we are in any danger."

Realizing that she still did not know the girl's name, Aoihana said, "So if you don't mind me asking, what is your name, and how did you end up here? I was given a rather curious invitation with instructions to meet at a park, and suddenly found myself outside this hotel."

[Hiraeth]

Philippe watched Aoihana leave, she seemed like a very genuine person, something that was very rare these. He stretched and began to walk down towards the beach, when suddenly a small girl wearing a peacock feather mask blocked his path and folded her arms expectantly. It took him a moment to place her, then when she lifted her mask up and grinned at him the pieces fell into place "You? What are you doing here?"

Kiku rolled her eyes at Philippe's confusion "Did you think that amongst the massive amounts of shinigami that came here, there wouldn't be one that you knew? You know how much I love parties, how could I miss this?"

"I guess this means you'll be following me around for the rest of the evening, little hellion?" Philippe asked warily.

The hellion shrugged "Not if you have a problem with it, I was actually thinking we could play chess, I found a stone chess table down there" She pointed down to a tree near the beach "And I thought it was a game we could both enjoy."

"Ah well, you know how much I love chess, how could I refuse?"

[Superunknown]

Roja was strolling along the Garden with Lala & Lulu, discussing how to play a perfect joke on the Decima and Sexta Espada.

"I think that we should trick them both into-" Roja's mischevious plan was cut off by a rushing Kizer. Kizer was too distracted finding Nyarle's favourite gifts that he didn't notice the trio of girls.

"Helloooooooo, Kizer-kuuuun!!!" Roja saluted Kizer inmediately. Kizer turned around and saw his worst nightmare: Roja. Since Kizer is an idiot in every sense of the word, he feels like insulting everyone to get his point across.

"What do you think you're doing, Roja!?" Kizer screamed to number 42 and the Quinta Espada. "What are you planning with those two brats behind you!?! Are you planning on sticking a test tube up my ass once again!? That won't work for you three! HAHA! My logic is flawless!" Kizer turned to the twins inmediately. "You two bitches won't get away with it! You hear me!?! Go back to kindergarden you losers!"

[Final Boss]

"What did you call me?!"

Lala immediately jumped up and grabbed the Kizer's head, throwing him face first into the ground. To emphasize her point she placed her right foot threateningly on the back of his head.

"Say that again and I'll crush your head. Say it, I dare you."

[Superunknown]

Roja's sadism went off and started taping the scene where Lala was beating the living shit out of Kizer, she left the camera on a point and immediately peppersprayed Kizer in his eyes. He started screaming with a hint of anger and pleasure. "Roja! You lolicon whore! I'm gonna kill you, motherfucker!"

"Whoooo... This spray says 'APPLY ON ASSHOLES PLZ' and you definitely fall into that category!" Roja smirked to the suffering half of the Número 27. Out of anger, Kizer used a maneuver (read "Plotkai for Dummies") to slip away from Lala's grasp and said to the trio arrogantly: "I'll deal with you brats later, I'm going to bring some gifts to Nyarle-kitty and I'll get her to bed! <3". Roja suddenly got an idea to take on Kizer and Nyarle at once and smiled fiendishly expecting the twins to get the idea she was thinking.

[Final Boss]

Lala watched angrily as Kizer left to get gifts for the Tenth Espada, Nyarle. She wasn't about to let Kizer get the last word and began to plot out a devious plan to get back at the Arrancar. Despite Lulu's protests, Lala looked over to Roja expecting some childish prank to be ready. Lala wasn't into planning herself, she left that to Lulu, but with her sister's refusal to be a part of it she would have to depend on Roja.

"So you got a plan or what?"

[Superunknown]

At Lala's questions Roja smirked and said to the Espada: "Lala-chan, I got the best plan ever! Nyarle was that lady you were harrassing back in the Entertainment Salon, and Kizer is looking for the best gifts for her! We trick him into bringing what Nyarle detests the most and he will be eliminated! That way we can get away with our hounding without being chased afterwards! Since Kizer is more resistant than cockroaches, you can get back at him when he's down and make him eat dirt for the rest of his life! What do you think?"

[Final Boss]

"Hmm the kitty cat? Why would he get presents for her?"

Lala thought about Roja's plan for a moment, she had no idea what Nyarle detested and Lulu mentioned that Roja probably wouldn't know either. Going off of what little Lala did know, it was likely one of the things Nyarle would dislike would be annoying children. From the first encounter Lulu noticed Nyarle's similarities to cats, now what did cats despise? Lala had no time to think too much on it, she just wanted to do something, anything.

"Lets get going then! Now how do we start?"

[Superunknown]

Roja motioned Lala to a walking Kizer and told her to trick Kizer into bringing Nyarle whatever she had to hate. "She must hate annoying children, so we can get Kizer to act as one! Just mention Nyarle is an Espada and since you are an Espada too, you know her! When he falls for it, tell him NOT to bring whatever she hates. Since Kizer will know we are tricking him, he'll do the contrary!" When Roja finally understood Lala didn't follow the rhythm of her words, she simply said: "Just follow me, oh, feel free to kick Kizer's ass since he's backing away from us!" Roja went dashing towards Kizer, awaiting the twins to follow her plan.

[Final Boss]

Lala smiled and ran after Roja and towards Kizer, once within range she jumped up and delivered a powerful kick to the back of the Arrancar's head knocking him to the ground. She stomped on his fallen body a few times before laughing out loud.

"Heya Stupid! Bet you don't know what to get for the kitty cat Nyarle! Since I'm an Espada like her I know what she likes best!"

[Superunknown]

"Maybe I should simply steal some of Kiso's poetry..." Kizer was walking in the Garden thinking about Nyarle's tastes, until he sensed something knock him to the floor. He was now being stomped again by one half of the Quinta Espada, after she laughed and mocked Kizer, Kizer felt the need to answer.

"You stupid whor-... Wait a sec, you know the tastes of Nyarle-kitty?! And you're an Espada?!? Wow, the world is so screwed up! Tell me what she likes most! If you do I'll give you candy!"

Roja whispered to Lala suggesting she uses inverse psychology on him, telling Kizer what NOT to do in front of Nyarle to make this plan effective.

[Kaoru Miyazaki]

Bael glanced down at the smaller shinigami and an idea suddenly popped into his head. A grin spread across his lips as he moved his hands to cup Kaoru's cheeks, pulling the other's face up gently. "Ruru..."

Kaoru smiled and closed his eyes as his boyfriend pulled him up, expecting another kiss like the one they had shared in the Entertainment Salon. However, even though he felt Bael lean in, there was no kiss. Instead, he felt the other's lips on the side of his neck. His dark eyes opened half way. "Wh... what are you doing, koibito?"

"Hehehe..." Bael laughed softly against Kaoru's neck before placing his lips to the tender flesh again. He closed his eyes as he began to suck gently with the intention of leaving a mark. Even as Kaoru gasped and clung to his shoulders, he continued until he felt satisfied. Only then did he stop and pull his head back to examine his work.

There was now a fresh blossom of blended purple, blue, and red visible on the side of the purple-haired shinigami's neck. Kaoru reached up and grazed his fingertips on the spot where the mark now was. He recoiled with a slight wince of pain. But then he looked up at Bael and gave him a partial smile.

"That hurt. And the mark can't be covered up easily... How am I supposed to explain this to my squad members? It's going to be very awkward...", he said.

Bael merely smirked. "Yeah, right. You know you love it. Just tell them off if they give you problems or lie and say that a Hollow did it in battle."

[Final Boss]

Lala was glad she got Kizer's attention, he must really want to get Nyarle on her good side. She didn't know why but she wasn't going to help him. Lala listened to Roja's suggestion, something about reverse psychology. Lulu quickly explained that she just had to tell Kizer what not to do and that he would believe she was trying to trick him and do just the opposite.

"Yep! I do know what Nyarle likes the most!" she said, wearing a suspicious grin, "Well first off don't grab and pull on her ears, it turns her off and makes her angry. Also she hates getting wet so keep her in a nice dry place."

Lala held out her hands, expecting the candy he promised. She mumbled evilly, "Hehe sucker..."

[Superunknown]

Kizer listened to her words. He smirked and instead of giving Lala her candy we gave her the middle finger.

"Ha! Idiotic brat! Like I would believe Nyarle-kitty sama hates those things, I know you're trying to trick me convincing me about things she doesn't really hate! I'm simply going to please her by eating her ears, behaving like a brat and showering her on cold water! TAKE THAT!!! You want candy!? Suck my meat lollipop then!!!" Kizer said while grabbing his crotch.

Before Lala could do something, Roja restrained her whispering to her: "Don't worry, Nyarle will kill him. It's much funnier that way!!!" Kizer spanked his butt and said to the trio: "See ya, suckers!" He ran to the forest locating Nyarle.

"Okay, I'm bringing the camera! This is SO gonna be featured on YouTube!" Roja said while she grabbed the camera. "Kizer can't run away from us." She held out a radar from her pocket which said where Kizer was going GPS style. "Let's go! You wanna see this guy being beat up badly?"

[Final Boss]

Instead of candy Kizer flashed his middle finger, Lala knew it meant she wasn't getting candy and was very angry. The fact that Roja attempted to restrain her only made her madder. She wasn't going to leave all the fun to Nyarle. Quickly breaking out of Roja's grasp, Lala swiftly jumped up and grabbed Kizer's finger twisting it and effectively bringing him down to his knees. Her tiny knee smashed into his crotch and with one final movement she turned him around and delivered a powerful kick to his behind sending him off into the distance.

"Freakin' jerk, Nyarle better kill him or I will!"

As she followed behind Roja she hoped Nyarle would make this trouble worth it. If he didn't die from Nyarle she would definitely rip him limb from limb. No one messes with the Quinta Espada and gets away with it.

[Superunknown]

Kizer
Kizer was sent flying by the Quinta Espada to a faraway place in the Garden. He recieved a kick in his crotch by a little girl, but for some reason, his genital area didn't hurt. Without wondering, he scanned around the area locating Nyarle. Before he went to declare his love, he searched for COLD water.

"Nyarle kitty sama! <333" Kizer was humming while going to the beach to retrieve the coldest water he could find.

Roja
Roja was filming Kizer from faraway with the impatient twins behind her. She was hoping Nyarle would tear Kizer apart. Well, he wore a gigai, so any harsh attacks on him will turn him into trash.

Kiso, Gwen & Noira
Kiso was with two of his subordinates locating Kizer to screw him in every inhuman way possible. Not much to say from their behalf.

[Superunknown]

Kizer & Kiso
Kizer had some cool water. He made his way back to the Buffet Hall, when Kiso appeared before him.

"Hello, Kizer, may I give you something you need?" Kiso asked his other half.

"What the fuck? You are now helping me!?!" Kizer refuted his "twin".

"Yeah, you are me, so I stopped being a masochist and gave you this!" He took out a pill. "It will turn you into an Arrancar with dog qualities. I heard Nyarle-sama loves dogs the most. You can do it tiger, you're a man now. Well, You're the man now dog, or the other way around..." Kiso smiled to his evil half.

Kizer smiled and laughed á la Grimmjow after killing Luppi: "DO YOU HEAR THAT, FUCKING LOSER!?! THE FELINE IS MINE!!!111one!!!!one!" Kizer screamed to the sky and with a bottle of cold water and the pill in his hands and he rushed off to the Buffet Hall to earn his lust much more.

Kiso smiled creepily and said: "You can come out now"

From a tree, Gwen and Noira (who felt lonely without her Estrés doll, her only best friend) came out.

"Not too shabby... Kiso-sama. I knew you could do it." Gwen said smiling devilishly to her master.

"Not too shabby? I convinced him, or myself, of self-destructing! That's being a genius if you ask me, Gwen." Kiso proudly told Número 69.

"She needs to see Kizer bleeding... Must watch him retort in pain..." Noira said creepily while looking to the ground sadly.

"Well, let's go. Nothing to do here." Kiso left to the Buffet Hall.

Roja
Roja unbelievably watched with the twins her mentor convincing Kizer flawlessly of behaving like a canine in front of a feline. Even a five year old could've seen the trick, but Kizer was too distracted he didn't notice. She also noticed that Kiso & Kizer were a taller, masculine version of Lala & Lulu; with matching yellow hair. Roja made a satisfaction look on her face and told the twins:

"Well, Kizer's apocalypse is near. He'll now go to the Buffet Hall, and YOU want to see Kizer being beat to a bloody pulp, don't you?... THE LAST ONE ARRIVING AT THE BUFFET IS A LOSER AND HAS TO HOLD THE CAMERA FOR THE BEATING SCENE!" Roja dashed to the Buffet Hall as if she was doing race against the twins.

"Three humans and counting so far, and all of them are current residents of Karakura Town. Interesting..." Aoihana made a mental note of her observation, then responded the the obviously scared girl's questions.

"It's true, I don't usually decide to take a stroll through the bad parts of town, but I've been some places that might surprise you. But there's really no need to get into that now."

Aoihana put on what she hoped was a reassuring smile. She could still seem friendly at times. And some of her friendliness might even be genuine. "Don't worry, I'm fairly certain we're not dead. And despite the fact that many of the... ah... beings here are not exactly known for their friendlyness, I do not think we are in any danger."

Realizing that she still did not know the girl's name, Aoihana said, "So if you don't mind me asking, what is your name, and how did you end up here? I was given a rather curious invitation with instructions to meet at a park, and suddenly found myself outside this hotel."

While Aoihana waited for the girl to respond, a man walked onto the colonade and over to them. He was dressed in a nice suit, and held a jester mask at his side. Which meant his face was visible, revealing fragments of a mask of a different sort. A Hollow? No, he must be one of those Arrancars that Aoihana had just found out about.

She heard the man mutter something about "avoiding the 7th" and "don't need to find a Shinigami anymore", but didn't quite understand what he meant by all that. He then looked at her and the frightened girl next to her, and introduced himself.

"Hello there. I am Alan Matiaha, and I would be pleased to learn your names. Are you two enjoying the party?"

"I am Aoihana," was her simple reply. She left out the part about being a human from Karakura Town, as she was afraid Alan might respond with the fact that he was an Arrancar from Hueco Mundo, and that might have something of an unpleasant effect on the girl next to her. She just hoped that the girl wouldn't recognize the mask fragments on Alan's face for what they likely were.

(OOC: Pokes Dizzy :p )

[Oops sorry, forgot about this >>]

"Well, that's ... a relief." Claire didn't know whether not being dead qualified as a good thing or not, but she didn't feel like bringing up the nihilistic aspect of her worldly views with a complete stranger. Aoihana did seem to know a lot about the entire afterlife situation though, perhaps the other woman could be pressed for information. It was worth a shot; what did she have to lose?

"Oh, and as for your second question ... I was sleeping," the girl admitted sheepishly. "I just woke up in one of the hotel rooms with an invitation in my pocket and a dress and mask hanging in the closet. Except I guess unlike most of the attendees here, I just ignored them and came down to try and find out what was going down."

Another man strode up to join them, seemingly interested in making small talk. Claire reflexively shrank away ever-so-slightly before realizing that there was no way that this man could know her occupation or be making a proposition. She removed her gaze from him, staring off over the ocean, and responded softly, "I'm Claire."

[Mad_Scientist]

"It's a pleasure to meet you both," Alan said. The girl Claire seemed somewhat nervous, perhaps not surprisingly. The other woman, Aoihana, did not seem nervous at all though. Odd, that. Alan himself had been incredibly nervous when he was first brought here, and had spent a fair amount of time at the bar, and he was an Espada. Both these women looked like humans. A human should be at least a little scared being stuck in such a situation. Yet Aoihana looked back at him without a hint of fear, her eyes showing a strange intensity.

"If you have not already, you should check out the Buffet Hall. There is a fine selection of food. I'm afraid the food selection in Hueco Mundo is rather limited, at least if you want food that is akin to what you ate as a human, so I've rather enjoyed the selection here." Though technically speaking, it had been Ninian who ate, but Alan didn't feel like explaining all of that.

____

He just had to blurt out that he was from Hueco Mundo, didn't he? Well, with luck, Claire might not know what that meant, though Alan's comments about food certainly hinted at the fact that Alan wasn't human. Aoihana wanted to get as much information as possible out of both of them, but if Claire clammed up from fear it would be difficult to learn much.

"Perhaps I will check out the Buffet Hall later," Aoihana said in response to Alan's comments. Turning back to Claire, she said, "I'm afraid that I don't really know that much about what is going on here either." Glancing back at Alan, Aoihana noticed that his face didn't look quite right, and his skin had an odd quality to it as well. In fact, it was quite clear that he wasn't human. Fortunately, Claire was busy looking at the ocean and might not have noticed it yet.

[Kaoru Miyazaki]

Kaoru blushed, a vibrant red spreading across his pale cheeks. He opened his mouth and was about to respond to Bael when a gentle rumbling sounded from between them. It was then that Kaoru realized he was hungry, as he hadn't eaten a single thing the entire evening. "Ohh...", he whimpered, placing both of his hands over his stomach.

Bael chuckled, raising a hand to pet his boyfriend's hair. "Well well... Sounds like you're hungry.", he said, watching Kaoru. "Ya know, I just realized that you look a bit thinner than when I last saw you... You really need to keep your weight up. Come on, let's go inside and get something to eat." At that, he took one of Kaoru's hands in his own and the two made their way into the Buffet Hall.

[Kaoru Miyazaki]

Kokoro

Kokoro snapped out of her thoughts and looked back at Souji. She gave him a bright smile before taking his hands into hers. "Everything is alright, Souji-kun. I was just thinking... thinking about how I didn't have any of this before. I was never greeted into parties and I never had any friends until met you... and you too, Blaire-chan!" Her eyes softened. " I would like to thank you very much... for everything."

Blaire

She smiled secretly before slipping away silently to let the two have some... privacy, or so she thought.

Souji

Souji was pleasantly surprised when Kokoro took both of his hands into her own. An extremely light blush colored his pale cheeks as she smiled up at him. Though he was glad to learn that nothing was wrong with his friend, he was also a little embarassed by her words. But at least now she was happy, and that was really all that mattered. He noticed Blaire trying to move away from them but didn't bother to call her back. "I really don't know what to say, Kokoro-chan... Other than, you're welcome. I'm glad that we're all friends..."
