Welcome to Gaia! ::

*The two arrive at a large castle and walk through the various chambers, Zukota stops a few servants and tells them to prepare some food and drinks for their guest. Eventually, they arrive at the main meeting room, two servants open the door, Zukota walks through and invites the hollow in.*

"Come in and sit, I don't know if you eat or drink anything, but the servants will be bringing a meal and tea in a little while," he gestured with his hand to a mat next to him for Kalron to sit on.

"Well, this may sound strange, but have you seen any strange phantom images roaming around," He asked staring directly into the Arrancar's peculiar eyes, "they are neither Shinigami nor hollow, they seem to be harmless, but if what I have read from the archives is true, they are a dangerous omen of what is to come."

*A servant walks in and sets down a teapot and a pair of cups for the two men, she bows and leaves the room at Zukota's command.*

Zukota pours two glasses, "here, have a drink while you think it over."

"As of right now, they appear to be dark and formless," Zukota sipped his tea, "but as time progresses, the phantoms will become more clear."

*servants walked in and began placing plates and bowl of all imaginable types of food. They swiftly finished, bowed and exited the room.*

"You may not have seen them," he added some meat dumplings to a plate and handed them to Kalron, "they only appear for a few moments and then vanish, though the length time they are present in our world has begun to increase."

"Only the finest for the 'Captain Commander'," he sighed, "The old Captain Commander died a couple decades back, and now I'm stuck with the Soul Society on my shoulders, I have to admit, I would never have asked for the position even without knowing what I know now." Zukota picked up a few dumplings and began eating himself, "I'm not saying that the food isn't the best I've ever eaten, but I hardly find the responsibility worth it. I became Captain commander because I was asked to do so, the previous Commander told me that I was selected by the King himself, and refusing the King is never a great plan." Zukota ate a few more dumplings then added a few spring rolls to his plate, "help yourself to whatever catches your eye."

Peara quickly pivoted as she caught sight of a blur out the corner of her eye, but as soon as she looked it head on it was gone. She shook her head, the phantom appearances were becoming more and more frequent. Quickening her steps she sighed as she reached the grocery store.
She had been shopping for about thirty minutes when another shadow flicked past. Grinding her teeth she again turned, hoping to see what form it truly had.
"La mère de Dieu!"
What she saw made her gasp and drop what she was holding, briefly she had seen what appeared to be her, only.... old.
"I must be going batty,"
She muttered to herself. Shaking her head she bent to pick up what she'd dropped. Silently scolding herself for losing her grip on the items.

"I don't think having me stay here without you would be a good idea. I'll head with you. I'm curious to see how you work Shinigami Zukota." He said as he bowed respectfully to the female servant that came in to clear the table.

Crimsoneye looked down at his hollow hole. He pulled out a pouch from beneath his vest, and grabbed a roll of bandages.

He bound his waist and chest with the wrappings, effectively hiding his undisputable physical evidence of being a hollow.

"That any better?" He asked the Captain Commander.
