Welcome to Gaia! ::

((It's an extremely large mansion with a big garden out front and a large pool out back. There is a large fence all around the area in order to keep people out. This where the members of the advance team are to stay during their time here on earth.))

Tansen came out of the other side of the gate and stared in awe at the mansion in front of him. Everytime I come here this place looks even bigger than the last time... He quickly brought his mind back to reality and stood back against the fence as he waited for everyone from the advance team to show up.

Toshiro was one of the first people to find the mansion. He ignored the size of it and walked up to Captain Tansen with a neutral look on his face. When he finally met him face to face, he managed to produce a fake smile to shadow his fear. "N-Nice place you've got here." He stuttered. No one would have been oblivious to the fear in his voice. Patting Tansen lightly on the shoulder, he began to slowly pace around the mansion. Pretending to examine the estate. The walk began to relax him slowly. Maybe I'll check out the neighborhood... He thought to himself quietly.

:Suri appeared swiftly. Feeling Tansen's reiatsu outside, she decided to walk around first. It was important to her to be comfortable in all settings so that she could operate efficiently. In doing so, she wandered through the mansion, taking it its vast size. There was dusting coating the place since it was slightly disused, but other than that it was in good condition. Satisfied, Suri left the house.

Her steps into the yard allowed her to glance around at the scenery, and she decided that she thoroughly enjoyed the living nature of the plants and the neighborhood. She breathed deeply. The scent of grass and trees was refreshing and invigorated her. It made her happier also, but inwardly she felt as if there was a mist around the house, an ominous fog.

"Hello Captain, Lieutenants," Suri greeted them politely. "Captain Tansen, do you require any shields? I am able to produce a kidou shield that might be effective.":

Mizu got to her feet, after falling on her way through the gate. She ran over to Michiko, and smiled. At this point, the swollen spot had nearly been gone, leaving only red all over her forehead.

Mizu looked up at the house. "This is a quaint little place he has here." Mizu lifted her hands to her face. She had a small little cut on her hand from when she fell. Last time she remembered a cut on her body, was when she was sparring with her old friend Hitsugaya, who had learned to make his zanpakuto at the same time as she had. After that little spar of theirs, she had been meaning to get together with him again. It had been a long time since they had talked, and she didn't want to float away form him.

As Mizu ran over Michiko gave a quick smile. Seems most everyone got through the gate fine. Nodding at her words, she answered, "You could say that."

Looking around she saw Suri was already working at putting up a shield. She wondered if she could help immediately.

Hayashi was outside the mansion as he let out a sigh, "Besides Tansen I think I could take everyone inside with relative ease" Hayashi thought as he sighed once more not really interested in the place. "Maybe if I'm bored one Day I'll come in and see if anyone cares to entertain me" Hayashi said to himself as he began to walk away not interested in the reiatsu levels of the people inside

((It hasn't been used in a couple years so it would pretty dusty. There are numerous rooms that you can pretty much just make up on your own. It would look fairly modern but a bit old at the same time. Sorry for not describing it batter earlier, I was kinda in a hurry... sweatdrop ))

Mizu peeked through the now-open doors of the house. She stood in the middle of the large foyer. She immediately turned to the right. She paced around the room for a while, waiting for the others to come inside. She stood over the cushion of a love-seat, and straightned the dress underneath her, and sat on the couch. There was another couch adjascent to the one she was on, with a small coffee table placed in the middle of the two couches.

She crossed her legs, and folded her hands ontop. She eyed the rest of the room. "Oh, how I wish I could remember my past life." She saw the royal, wood stairs, with a beautiful red carpet, curving upwards to the second level. "Up there must be Tansen's room, I'm guessing."

Mizu didn't bother to leave her seat, as she may be getting another briefing inside, once everyone arrives. In all her experience in The Sereitei, she had not seen anything like this house. The invigorating smells, the fresh air. Mizu breathed in deeply, but took in a lot of dust. The dust she had just breathed, made her sneeze. The sneeze seemed to bring back the pain on Mizu's forehead, and she bent forward into her lap, and clenched her fists. Apparently the pain had not all left.
