This area is in the middle of Las Noches, and most paths all run through here. There are doors all around the courtyard, under the awnings. The Labyrinths staircase has an entrance to the courtyard, which is located on the South wall. Adjacant to that there is a door that leads to another section of Las Noches. this was the area in which Aizen and his subjects Gin and Tousen inhabited, and was also the wing where the throne room was located; to the north, and on the West wall there are wide double doors that enter into the Maniak Wing.

Maniak lurked within the shadows of the Courtyard, again becoming bored with everything... He appeared, as he walked out from a wall which was covered with a shadow. As he appeared, he walked forward, to the center of the cleared area. The grass was gray, like that of indifference; and sat upon patches of white sand.
He walked over it, dragging the tip of his foot in the sand as it glided over it. He was not satisfied there right at that moment, and wanted to do something..else.

As Maniak had left the Throne Room, Asuma had followed him, trying to decipher what he had meant by getting some gain. After waiting for Aizen's answer, Asuma had grown bored, and he didn't have the permission to go and fight the intruders. While in any other circumstance he would have done what he wanted, the threat of having another Hado ninety rip him to shreds made him think twice. After all, as long as Aizen didn't oppose his decisions, he would be just fine there. But, he would still see what this Espada had to offer. Walking into the Courtyard, Asuma looked around, noting that most of the area was white or gray, just like everything else in Hueco Mundo and Las Noches. Honestly...did they hate any other color but white and gray? He wasn't one for any kind of colors himself, save for the occasional crimson or darker color. Bright colors hurt his eyes.
After walking into the Courtyard, he almost instantly spotted Maniak, who was walking along the Yard. Seeing him, even though his didn't have a face, eyes, nose, or any other figure except for his skeleton, he still seemed...bored. Unsatisfied. Annoyed. Just like how Asuma felt. Walking forward, Asuma still wore his mask on his face, hiding everything from the nose down. "Did you mean...what you said, Eapada?"

Maniak watched as the mercenary walked towards him. the man had the stench of every other shinigami he met, but it was bettering that he was not as stupid.
"Yes, I meant what I said, shinigami..." Hawk told him. "Why wouldn't I have? Everyone else feels like they've got their worlds figured out to them, but I am bored with it all."
Maniak stepped away from Asuma, turning his back to him, and the direction of the throne room. If any were to come, it would be from that direction anyways, so that would be the direction anyone would follow him from. He especially thought of Tagg in particular at this moment.
"Tell me, what was it you wanted to gain by coming here, to Las Noches, I ask. Just out of curiosity, as it were..." he added.

Listening as the Espada responded, Asuma had expected that he would ask his own. The question that the Espada asked, didn't really surprise him. After all, he had been asked that question before. And of course, he didn't need to think about his answer. "To escape...that prison that held me. I followed...ho I trusted. And here...I am." Sighing under his mask, Asuma put his hands in his pockets, looking up a the sky. "Curiosity...it has to be more...than that." Of course, Asuma knew that there had to be another reason why the Espada has asked him the question. People, even Hollow, had reasons for pretty much everything. But, the real question in Asuma's mind was, "How will you...back up what you said. In the Throne Room...I mean."

((OOC: Is this a good time to join? If not I’ll delete my post.)) Ishi followed, she too was curious to know why this crazy Mr. Bone Jangles was inviting un-authorized personnel into Aizen’s Las Noches. Looking at the man with slight curiosity she walked past Asuma, her bright pink uniform would most definitely hurt his eyes. As bright as her leather jump suit under her white Arrancar uniform her personality was just as colorful. Walking up to Maniak and looking up at him being that she only stood naturally at four and a half feet tall; even with her quarter foot tall boots she had to look up to almost every one she met. Her bottom lip stuck out as if she where pouting and her hands on her hips. Looking up to Maniak she inched slightly closer to the man and then looked back to Asuma then back to him, ”What’s that?” her voice in an irritated tone. Looking back to Asuma she waited for his reply. The small girl was angry but sadly, she was the kind of girl that looked cute even if she was seething with rage. Her bottom lip still slightly pouted as she glared at the stranger.
Out of all the other Espada, Ishi Riki was an interesting Espada. Not interesting as she had many secretes or amazing powers, but the fascinating way she could repair and heal nearly, anything. Even in her released state (which she still has to reveal) Ishi was not nearly the warrior as those that where once beneath her. Some time ago she once ruled as fourth Espada. Now she ranked one-hundred-four revealing her Priveron status. Along with her healing ability she had no mask fragment and her hole (like many other Epsada) was covered behind her clothing. This Espada wasn’t the kind of person that would go around picking fights... but she knew when to stand up for her master and to question even the Espada’s authority.

((Seems fine to me. Let's see what Maniak has to say, though))
His eyes flashing with annoyance for a moment before returning to their normal bored look, Asuma scowled under his mask. This girl that had walked in-obviously she was an espada. Although he knew that she wasn't one of the numbers. He had seen almost every one of them, and she didn't give off the amount of reiatsu to say she was higher than fourth or fifth. His eyes, flashing white for a split second, took her in. Short, yet to him, she gave off a slight aura...something that told him she was hiding something. Maybe what she could do, or what she knew. Obviously he didn't know, and wouldn't ask. It wasn't his place to know others secrets unless they were told to him. Or he 'accidentally' overheard them. A low and barely audible growl came from his throat. He had a habit of doing that when he was annoyed.
"If you want to know....something about me...ask me. It's slightly annoying...when I am ignored." Looking from Maniak to Ishi, again he scowled under his mask. After all, his right hand was burning under his clothing right now, from the black chain that was under it. It had been burning like crazy ever since he had gotten there. Yet, he hid it. "Who are you." It was more of a statement than a question, mainly because of his mood at the time of asking. He had a tendency to show his moods in his words. And...it was showing, pretty bluntly.

Maniak grinned, his back still to Asuma. But it was only noticable to him, and it went away as soon as it came.
"Shingiami, you do not fear the concequences of your actions? Because I will let you know now, I do not tend to do things lightly." Maniak said, vaguely at that.
He then spoke to Ishi, "And those who are here, they are just for amusement. I wanted to see what kind of reaction Aizen would have to them."
He then wondered whether or not Tagg or the Arcane were going to be interested, but still, he already knew that if they weren't going to be curious about it, he would still just end up doing it by himself like planned. Still, he for some reason felt when in her presence, the possibilities to do great things are endless.
"I wanna let you in on a little secret, shinigami." he told him, "I do not fear my actions, and I will gladly kill you just to watch the ash fall from my Cero."
The two of them were silent for a moment.. How Asuma took these words had no consequence, and Maniak just stood there like nothing was done. He then stepped forward once, the air only containing the rattling of his bones as he moved.
"Which are exactly my intentions for Earth." Maniak then went silent, and for a moment there it was an akward second or two until he broke it again.
But Maniak didn't speak, instead he laughed, a sick evil meniachal laugh that would have sent chills up the spines of lower-level shinigami. The evil figure continued the display for a second and then turned around again, stepping forward, as the room grew silent and the echoes faded into the sky. [ exit ]

Asuma just stood there silently for a moment, just looking straight. He seemed to have a slightly shocked look on his face, but..."Is that...a threat?" And suddenly, he started laughing. His eyes filling with amusement, Asuma laughed loudly under his mask, making it sound like a loud bark. Containing himself for a second, Asuma still gave off the occasional chuckle. "I'm sorry to tell you...Maniak. But if you...think that you...can do that...then good luck." And again, another laugh ripped through his mask. Shaking his head, Asuma was still grinning. "You truly...are misguided. If you think...that you...the eighth espada...can take Earth...then you will die...by the ones who are there. I've fought them...I know them...and they will...they will"-he emphasized the word will-"kill you...without hesitation...and with little problem. Especially...especially...the Vizards. The one you brought...is one...of the lower ones. There are two...specifically...that together...could most likely...take down this place. Do not...let your feelings...cloud your mind. Because...you will die for it."
His eyes looking like they were bored once again, Asuma sighed. "And now...if you have no other...misguided seizure plans...I'll take my leave. Come and tell me...when you have something...that can be done, Maniak." Turning around, Asuma shook his head once more, before his reiatsu spiked slightly, and he disappeared, a small amount of sand being kicked up around where he once stood.

Ishi simply remained silent, just watching the events unfold about her. There was a lot of tension between the two men, she simply sighed and turned towards the Espada and walked up to him and placed her right hand gently against his chest looking up into his empty eye sockets, ”You know...” She paused and grinned playfully up at him, ”Curiosity killed the cat.” Patting his chest gently she turned away too and began walking away, putting a slight sway in her hips, she paused before she entered the shadows turning slightly she looked at him with her playful grin still on her pouty lips, ”I’d be sad if you died.” Turning again she slinked into the shadows. Though she was no longer a full Espada she still seen the Espada as her brothers and sisters; though they where slightly demented in a way, and there was no real compassion between the ten Espada, she still seen all of the Arrancar as equals respectfully. They had all died and suffered torture of death, not being blessed enough to pass away into the next life The damned and crazed creatures cursed with an emptiness that could not be described or compared to anything within the living or the dead.
Though she barely knew this Espada she respected him for his rank, and the fact that he was loyal enough to be granted Espada rank. If Aizen trusted him enough, than so should she. Ishi would serve Aizen in any way that she could or he wished. She had granted him full permission without limits of how she could serve him. Since Aizen planned on being God (or at least that’s how he spoke) she wanted to make her future lord as pleased with her as much as possible. Then perhaps one day, she and little Accapello could be granted permission to pass into Soul Society and forget all of their past horrors and live forever, as mother and daughter... ((OOC: Exit.))

[enters from Labyrinth]
Emerging back into the sunlight's reach, Ky looked around and saw the vast interior of Las Noches. This had been the first time he had entered the place, but that certainly won't mean he would get lost. Not while his built-in radar had anything to say about it as it immediately scanned the surrounding area and made a real-time map of the area. Surprisingly, not a single arrancar was to be found within the area which would be quite predictable with all the ruckus going on down there. But even so, Ky expected for Aizen, Gin, Tosen, or any of the famous people within Las Noches to greet him, or even a least bit of resistance, but the area was barren like a ghost town.
"Scheiss, this mission is all so easy, it's boring." Ky cursed, but didn't dally too long. The fact that he was left unnoticed gave Ky the opportunity to get some information he needed without much trouble if the situation were to remain. At once, Ky headed off to the first stop in his "tour" of Las Noches. The arrancar laboratories.

[enters *whew*]
saiko bursts through the door, coming into the open area, seeing the darkness and stars above...
He slowed, and looked around him, letting his sword hand drop to his side. His blade touched the ground, and he stared in wonder, seeing th large structure from inside it. There were towers on all ends of the place, and in some direction he could feel an espada and two shinigami close by.
"Wow, this is nuts... But I'm strangely drawn to the architectual design here, man the white makes me feel like I'm going crazy." he said.

Evil looked around without much interest, entering behind Saiko.  ~* Evil Wolf*~ She said pessimistically. It was much quieter here, and she liked that. Less bodies in one tight space, more room to breath. She wasn't claustrophobic, but the labyrinth was ridiculous.
"Is anyone here going to stop us?" She asked. She was still in Zaigou form, prepared and ready for any surprise attack. ~*Captain of Squad 10*~

"I'm not sure, but there's alot of doors, and they all feel different. Some have no reiatsu behind them, but I feel something familiar nearby." Saiko said.
He was trying to concentrate on the reiatsu traces he could sense. Layla seemed to be in some area near the courtyard, but it was coming from a tower or something, and was faint in comparison to all of the different arrancar signatures that were around them.
"I'm not even sure where Maxi went, but do you think we should proceed, because I'm not sure how safe it is to get lost around this place."
In truth, Saiko felt like for the moment this area was safe, but did not know if further along it would be the same.

~* Evil Wolf*~ "Well...I can tell Ky has been here. Looks like he got out first..." She said, walking in the direction where she felt his faint reitsu residue leave off. "Are you in Maxi's Squad?" She said nonchalantly, making small talk. ~*Captain of Squad 10*~
