"Good idea, lass. She's not gonna rebuild herself."
Larkin stood, stretching out his aging muscles. "Oh, before I forget!"
Larkin limped off towards the captain's quarters, shouldering through the newly-repaired door. He rummaged around for a few moments, and limped back towards Bea, placing a blue tri-corn hat on her head.
"First maate's gotta have a hat... Keeps the sun out of the eyes. Can't have you steering us into a mountain." Larkin gave a short laugh, more of a bark than anything, and limped off, picking up a hammer and a leather pouch full of nails as he went. Humming a salor's song as he walked.
The ship was nearly whole again, though the sails were not yet up, and there were a few places that needed patched, where the ground had smashed through. LArkin was grateful for his new friend, and the help she had provided, when he needed it most.

Section 9 : Special Technological Forces Unit
The doctor assigned to the STFU shrugged at Sayla as she asked him about the shards and if there had been any further details on them. He saw no harm in telling her what he had figured out considering she was one of those types within Section Nine that would not leak out intelligence, or rather, as far as it was concerned, could not leak out intelligence. "To put it plainly, a few years back we had the incident with the Hougyoku, how if one were exposed to it, they would undergo a change; The rise of the Vaizard and Arrancar were attributed to this, and then these stones had showed up on the occasion as well after that.", he explained as he held up one of his sample shards. "From our analysis, these Jokaisho Shards, as they've been labeled, are also foreign, as in not native to this world. They are also not native to Soul Society either from our intelligence gathered alongside Squad Twelve of the Soul Reapers. It would seem that for years, an outside force has been influencing our own world, and pushing it to the edge of evolution.", he shuddered visibly at that revelation. It was clear that what was to come next was actually troubling. "To put it simply, Sayla, what is coming to pass is something well over thirty years in the making and could explain the sudden explosion in spiritual activity during those years. I would go so far as to say that our very spiritual existence has been tampered and disturbed by Extra-Spiritual Entities. Something unlike anything we have experienced before."
After a pause, the doctor smirked as he then walked across the mobile facility platform and then pulled down a chart of the potential threats he had been looking to identify. "Since we can assume this is something of another world, we can only determine this as an invasion. With the appearance of a new Arrancar, it is clear that the Jokaisho contamination is across all realms now, and that this is a wide-spread invasion. They are doing as they said they would, forcing years of evolution down our throats, and in the form of these pillars. It is also determined that the power source for the pillars lies beyond the gate inside. Though no information on what lies beyond is attainable.", the Section Nine doctor said with a sheepish grin before letting the chart roll up with a definitive snap. "Somebody is playing 'God' and if we do not stop them, then they will make good on their promise and force us into a world of their liking. Do what you would with that information...Im going to return to work on trying to figure out if there is a way we can neutralize or at least dampen the Jokaisho energy.", he said before leaving Sayla with the revelation that there were beings on the level of what mortals would consider divine trying to "enlighten" the spiritual planes.

xxx Aizawa felt some of the tension drain from his bones as the last remaining bits of the Arrancar's reiatsu dispersed from the area. He held no doubt that the truce was a tactic the dog had used merely so she could go running with her tail between her legs. At least she was chained for now. Dog or no, she was a threat to human kind and now she was chained, as frail of a chain as it was at the moment. He would have to keep as keen of an eye on her as he could manage in case she broke that chain and needed to be put down. For now, though, he decompressed. He laughed as he realized he must be sounding to the individual before him. "I am sorry if I come across as militarized or heavy handed. It's in my blood. I'm afraid I'm not too keen on social cues on an everyday level." he explained, sort of demonstrating, in that very instant, what he meant as he progressed. As the Quincy began to voice his concerns about the truce, Aizawa nodded his head, being able to sympathized with those same concerns. "That is totally understandable. Hollow are the bane of our existence. We're built to kill them and they're built to kill us, it's not something in our blood. At times, it takes everything I have not to run an arrow straight through them." But, most of the time that was exactly what he did. "I have an obligation to Earth and to Lady Shinra to put peace and protection before all else, no matter the cost. If you accept my offer, I will ask you to honor truces that are made and to do your best not to put Earth or any of it's inhabitants in jeopardy, but beyond that, any Hollow (or Shinigami) are free game." He had to admit that it was a way for him to vent when others were able to take care of a threat that his obligations prevented him from touching. If someone happened to kill the Hollow before their truce could be broken . . . he couldn't say he would be entirely upset, though there would have to be reprimand to establish how things were done going on into the future. He could understand Ryan's sentiments entirely. He nodded his head as Ryan accepted the offer presented and had considered some grander gesture, but the influx of speaking was about as far as Aizawa felt he could push himself. He really was trying, but he wasn't going to be fake in how he presented himself. "Excellent! As for the base of operations, I'm working on something a bit more semi permanent, so that won't be necessary. The offer is well received, however." He spoke noting the shift in Ryan's mood when he spoke of his family's empty house. Aizawa was beginning to put some pieces together, but he didn't have the biggest and most important pieces to solve the puzzle. Not that he would pry into this man's life more than required, but Aizawa was constantly analyzing and assessing. "There is one final thing I have to offer, however." he began, considering how to approach the topic. He got the feeling that he needed a much more gentle touch with Ryan so he began to explain as best he could. "I can offer you a boost in power to handle the upcoming threats we may face, but in addition, I can also offer a cleaning of your soul. Through my purifying affinity, my blood is able to cure a soul of imperfections and darkness. This has a variety of effects ranging from minor to no changes in the individual to some major changes in the person's personality and or appearance. It doesn't seem to work based upon a common denominator, it seems to be entirely up to the individual how they receive it. It will place a mark on your body, and one thing that all who experience it say, is that they come out feeling refreshed and invigorated as if they've had a nice day at the spa." Aizawa carefully withdrew his ritual blade, Callandor, from his Ian Sokutai and drew it across the palm of his hand. "My blood is required for this ability, but your's is not." he spoke as he intentionally put the blade back where it came from, holding the hand he'd just cut away from him to avoid getting blood on his white robes, though his blood was turning paler by the minute until it was sno white. He remembered his contract with Rozurial and though he appreciated the man's vigor and enthusiasm, he didn't want to shake a bloody hand again. His blood would be absorbed to create the mark, the rest evaporating as the wound healed with Healing Strings. He held his hand out for Ryan. "It's up to you whether you want to shake on it or swat it away, you will still be accepted into The Order regardless. But, if you accept it, your affinity for holy type abilities such as our Quincy arrows will notice a spike in power along with the cleansing of your spirit. The choice is yours."
If the man accepted, there would be vibes that Aizawa would pick up on. This wasn't as intrusive as it could be, but gave Aizawa a feel for the person's soul as it was cleansed. This worked the other way around, as well, and served to be a bond between the mark giver and the one who received it. The two would get a vague sense of the other's personality and how it was changed by the mark and the intentions of one another. This was one of the main reasons why Aizawa preferred to give his marks to his members. Both to help them in their tasks and to create a unity among the organization and specifically between himself and the members that comprised The Order.

Ryan listened as Aizawa spoke and grinned slightly as he was told the Hollows and Shinigami were free game. Though truth be told he was not going to actively hunt for anything at the moment. It did not bother him that he could not hunt Quincy anymore which surprised him mildly. "Who is Shinra?" He thinks not realizing that he had spoken out loud he does not mind if the question goes unanswered. When the use of the old house is turned down Ryan decides that he will just abandon it for now. He mentally shrugs off any further thoughts of his old home. Then listens as Aizawa talks about one final thing. He then curiously watches as the man pulls a knife and cuts his own palm. Then as the blood turns white in his palm he offers his had to Ryan. Ryan stands their thinking about what he has heard as he looks at the other mans hand. After thinking about it for a moment and thinking a little about his past which has only been filled with rejection, pain, and anger Ryan decides to go for it and accept Aizawa's offer. So he bids farewell to his days as a loner and murderer for the last time and reaches for the offered hand. But if the man ever decided to betray him Ryan would do everything in his power to make him regret it even if it took him a million years. Pushing all thoughts but of acceptance from his head Ryan looked Aizawa in the eye and with a firm grip shook his leaders bloody hand. Then smiled hoping he could follow orders and be accepted for who he was.
xxx Beatrix smiled as Larkin placed the hat on her head. Though, she really wished it came in a warmer color. Like a warm brown or a deep red. She would never voice any complaints, however. She was more than appreciative of the hat and her heart swelled as it was placed upon her head. She laughed lightly with Larkin and remained unable to wipe the grin from her face. She was giddy and full of energy, so much so she nearly felt like dancing. But, instead, she decided to focus that energy on Terminus Est. She couldn't stop herself from humming an upbeat tune, however.
. . .
After weeks of working on Terminus Est, Beatrix stepped back and climbed upon an up-rooted tree (toppled over when the tower appeared) to get a better look at the work that had been done. "She's . . . she's beautiful." This was as much addressed to herself as her Captain. She had never worked on a "project" like this before. And the outcome was . . . very rewarding in and in of itself. She became jittery with excitement all over again. While you were working on a project, you could get focused in on the details and over look the big picture. Standing back like this, she could really see Terminus Est sailing through the sky and it sparked her hunger for adventure anew. She brought her hand to her chest in a failed attempt to still her pounding heart. A Section Nine worker looked her way to ensure she was doing well, a handsome young lad who had taken a liking to Bea in the time that she had spent working on Terminus Est. It seemed that Section Nine had no discrepancies with them working near by and a few of the men had taken to making sure that Bea (and Larkin) remained well fed.

xxx Aizawa had brushed past a weighty topic for the moment as the man had spoken off hand. He was far more anxious for the man's response to his offer, and was pleased when the man grasped his hand, as shown by the content smile on his face. Aizawa nodded his head in approval, as if the man needed it, and held their handshake for a moment as a white aura spread from the blood on Aizawa's hand to Ryan's and from there would spread upward over his body. It would wash over him in a wave of white until he was a silhouette surrounded by sheets of white. Ryan's feet would lift from the ground if only an inch or so and the man would feel this embracing warmth and a sensation of free falling. It would feel as if he was gently falling through a never ending array of freshly dried sheets. Except these sheets wiped away any impurities the soul may have held. Ryan and Aizawa both would notice the amount of impurities that seemed to be washed away. Aizawa could not tell any specifics from Ryan due to these sheets, but it was enough to piece together some bits. Or at least one. It was beyond a shadow of a doubt that Ryan was the one who had killed the students at Souken Falls, but that was behind him now, especially after this purification ritual. The man would feel his sins being left behind as the person of old he had been, his soul being reshapen anew. As Aizawa had mentioned, this sometimes ended even in a physical change in the person, though not always. It generally ended in at least some amount of an emotional and personal change in attitude and the way the person presented themselves. Though, it wasn't always in the way that one might expect. Zera seemed to be more openly bossy than she used to be, but more confident in her actions. Rozurial had seen little change at all, which was unsurprising. And he'd seen people that were quiet and well mannered become someone who was openly rude in some instances with their directness, though he didn't think it was intentional. The ritual just purified the sins of the soul, but left the true nature of ones self, so it was never known how the person would end up, but it always seemed to be a more solid version of the 'themself' from before.
As Ryan's feet would touch the ground once more, Aizawa would nod his head once more. Aizawa's feeling of approval and embrace of welcome would have been added to the sensation that Ryan felt. The Order were truly his family as the Khalids who had adopted him into theirs had been to him. After losing Miharu, Aizawa was a broken shell of a man, even with Shinra by his side. He walked his way through daily routines, but his heart was somewhere else and the Khalids had seen that and done their best to welcome him as their own. Aizawa's blood father had been a cruel man only intent on gaining for himself and exploiting every situation and attempting to turn a profit from everything he could.
"Welcome, Ryan." He would speak. The reason he had not addressed the matter of Shinra before was because due to their link from the Purifying Mark, Ryan would understand how he felt toward Shinra. She was motherly, he looked after her as he would a younger sister. She had suffered so much at the hands of his father and he owed her more than he could give her. She was his closest friend and she was the only being as close to omnipotence as he had ever seen. He still wasn't so sure that she wasn't behind this rift in one shape or form. Some how some way, he wouldn't be surprised. "Shinra Banshou is the Lady whom I serve. We've been separated, but I wholly believe we'll be reunited one day." he spoke with a solemn smile upon his face, though it didn't quite touch his eyes and the somberness in his voice spoke of why. He missed Shinra with his entire being.

Kai would walk down the streets glancing around nervously as he went because... well highly illegal sword on his back, ripped and bloodied shirt on his torso, and more than a few neighbors that didn't like him for this or that reason and would love nothing more than to ******** his day arbitrarily. Though eventually he would calm down and simply walk his way along until he reached a stretch of road and saw two men talking to one another... and they gave him a feeling of pressure and his stature would hunch a bit, and his hands moved almost instinctively to go into his hoody's pockets... the hoody that wasn't there right now... there was only his bloodied shirt. Well there was nothing much he could do... he could go around or something... well he had a friend so she could put something. "What do you think Crystal? Do we go around, or try and sneak past?" Kai's voice would ask in her head.
Incidentally all of Kai's Koi were fully deployed ans simply floating around him, anyone with a lick of spiritual energy could see them, or feel them, and ten there was the fact that he was just standing at the end of the road sort of staring unhappily in these guys direction, sure it seems like a lot of words and maybe you want the point to all this so to make a long story short; Kai was really easy to notice and he didn't even seem to notice that himself.

As his sins and impurities were wiped away Ryan noticed that his desire to kill seemed to be gone. That would have to be tested later he thought to himself. Also gone was the feeling of loneliness that he had always tried to ignore. Ryan knew moment when Aizawa realized that he had killed the students in souken falls and let it go. He was not yet sure what other changes came over him when the ritual was done. Only time would tell and so far as he knew he had plenty of that. Smiling slightly he nodded as he was welcomed into the order. He then nodded when Aizawa told him who Shinra was.
Crystal walked next to Kai as they headed towards his place. "If you just removed the bloody shirt you might get less stares ." She said using telepathy so as not to freak out any humans without power. She had also spotted the two men ahead of them. And stopped to stare at them for a moment. Growling softly with indecision as she watched them and sensed their power. She then flexed her claws still debating the best option "If we noticed them then they noticed us or at least you, they may or may not realize what I am in this feline form and with your koi swimming around us." She stared at the two Quincy and came to a decision it would probably be safer to avoid the area though more interesting to try to sneak past or just walk past them. "Avoiding would probably be safer but I am more tempted to try and sneak past. Hm if you got rid of your shirt they will not see it and the blood that covers it less dangerous that way." She was not certain that he would be willing to give up his shirt after all he had kept it when they left the haunted mansion. "I could distract them and you could slip by them, then I could catch up." She twitched her tail as she watched the two men. Even though she wanted to go forward if Kai did not she would follow him.

Xzavior looked around at the residential district. People were everywhere, some hastening to rebuild the wrecked parts of the neighborhood, while others gawked at the enormous shard of crystal that jutted awkwardly from the ground in the middle of a roundabout. Xzavior eyed the shard hungrily. He knew that color, the glassy texture, the distinctive shape. That was a Joukaisho shard, and the largest he had ever seen. It seems things have become quite interesting in my absence... Xzavior thought to himself, as he turned to Suki.
"Yes, Yes. I know just the place, come."
Xzavior led Suki down a street, and through a dizzying series of alleys, into a dimly-lit back alley, where few people had ever been. There was a short wooden door, with a few Japanese characters on it, the characters for "Ramen". Xzavior knocked three times, paused a second, and knocked once more. The door opened a crack, and a few whispers were exchanged before the short olf man let them through the door, and into a dimly lit room, the air thick with the smells of cooking and incense. A small cluttered alter to the buddha stood in a corner. The only other decoration in this room was a single table, and chairs for two. The elderly japanese man waddled off to the kitchen.
"Few people know of this place, but there is no better Ramen to be found anywhere. Hideki is a good friend to have."

Hideky waddled off to fetch the tea, after he had set the two bowls of ramen before them. Suki began to eat immediately, but Xzavior sat in thought for a moment, before he began to speak.
"What are you planning on doing after you get your bankai, and your mask. You will be forbidden from entering Soul Society, and will be hunted by the Gotei 13. Do you have Allies in the other realms? Hueco Mundo? Northweald?" Xzavior did not make it know that Northweald was his own domain, or that he had named the dimension. "The Valley of Screams" sounded so dark and dreary. Nobody wanted to visit a Valley of Screams. That just sounded loud... and painful.
Xzavior took a pensive bite of ramen, barely tasting it for his racing mind. Hideki returned with a teapot and two small bowls, in the traditional japanese fashion. Xzavior snapped, and his own teacup appeared, filled with Earl Grey. He was not a fan of the green that Hideki favored.

Posted: Thu Jul 06, 2017 11:51 am
"Easy. I named the place "Northweald". You truly know nothing of my past? If you did, you would be less keen to be seen in my company." Xzavior smiled as he communicated telepathically. Hideki was not one to tell his patrons' secrets, but it was impossible to know who else could be listening.
"There is a place in Northweald for anyone who wants one. Prove yourself, and you may find yourself in a position higher than anything the Shinigami would have given you."
Xzavior sipped his tea politely, watching the shinigami with amber eyes. There was a contract here. Xzavior could taste it.
