Welcome to Gaia! ::

Nicholas strode, in, somehow conveying the feeling of generally lost-ness, despite the fact that his face was hidden behind that annoying mask of his.

If one listened closely enough, you could almost hear him say "Bloody Australia", but most dismissed his presence.

Rapping up his intense mumblings, he tilted his head to the side at the serious expressions everyone had on their faces.

"Ara? What's going on here? Someone important get kidnapped by evil heartless Hollows are now we're on the brink of war?"

((God I hate living in Australia sometimes. Makes you miss all the important stuff))

His head drooped slightly as he tilted his head so that Tagg could see his eyes. Their quicksilver color showed through his pitch black hair nicely. She could see the ichimaru gin-looking smile on his face start to show. "Your right Tagg..." he whipered. "This is no time to be doubting myself, in this time of war the only thing keeping us from them is the doubt that makes us seek power. The type of power that they (unlike us) achieved through the weak means of turning against what they are at heart and going evil." His blood boiled as his head shot up at Tagg. "Do you like to do hand to hand Tagg?" He said to her...his head obviously giving him some ingeneous plan help out a select few. "Cause i think i got something that will help ya' out...hehe" he was scheming about somthing...but what?

"Well...did you grab one of those arm gaurds i made...?"

Robin got down off the table, now that Michiko said her gigai was usable. Now his last piece of necessary tools was just talking to the captain, and as rude as it was to drag him out of their conversation, the faster they got ready the less time Yuki had to spend with that monster. Robin took note of an iron gauntlet the kid was wearing, and since he wasn't tall enough to tap him on the shoulder, he wen't for the next best thing. Reaching out his paw he gave the gauntlet a tug towards him, using the magnetics that surrounded it.

"Hey. sorry to pull you out of your conversation, but I need some metal, and according to my sources your the best place to get it."

He said, looking the kid in the eye. Robin took note that Tagg had in general ignored Zhen, and his ear's twitched backward, obviously displeased by that. He then addressed Tagg herself, in an attempt at politeness.

"Do you mind if I barrow this guy for a moment?... It seems you have company enough not to mind."

He said... Attempting politeness.

Having heard the situation all over Seireitei by now, Hibiki had decided he'd better find somewhere to join up to help with this battle to come. His captain was taken, he couldn't just stand by and hope that others would solve it for him. He had just achieved his shikai, he should at least put it to good use. Hurrying into the room where he'd be told the advance team, mostly squad 3, was meeting.

He noticed Robin was in the room, along with someone he'd recently noticed in the 13th squad barracks but really didn't know. Seems he'd chosen the right place to go to. He didn't immediately walk up to anyone in particular though, not wanting to interrupt anything potentially important.

"Well...aluminum is kind of a ware thin and wavering thing around here so I'm afraid I cant give you my small waning supply of that my friend. But, i cant give you all the Iron you want...how much do you need? As far as pipes go...i don't have any but i can make about three or four per minute..." As he was finishing that line he pulled out a tool that looked like a small sledge hammer made of obsidian glass...taking the arm guard that was on his hand he gently touched it to the gauntlet, the metal instantly melded around where the hammer had touched it. "And dont worry...I've got my ways and i will get you what you need as soon as I'm done talking to Tagg ok?...no need to rush..."

"No...he doesn't" Kiba turned to the person who just rudely interrupted there conversation. "The metal is in my shop so this is going to have to wait until I'm done here to get the metal. We do not attack until another day or so. So cool your horses and wait please." the creepy ichimaru-smile still on his face he tapped the metal again to meld it back. "If he is in that much of a hurry to build it i will personally put my skills to use and help him. But he has not asked so I'm guessing he isn't. So i would suggest not interrupting in conversations where your not invited stranger..." not a single hint of emotion in his voice escaped whilst he said this. He then waited for a response from the metal from Robin before turning around to continue his conversation with Tagg...

Robin was actually surprised at how this Kiba kid reacted. Most people didn't much care for manners, and just entered conversations whenever necessary. But since this was a time of war they should be working together, not against each other.

"Hold your horses there Kiba... This is Hibiki. And... Yeah, we're in a hurry. My owner is missing, and I'm not resting until she is safe. And they don't have to be pipes. I can mold any metal with a magnetic field to suit my purposes... They could be blocks of lead for all I care."
