Welcome to Gaia! ::

Yasumeh's glazed eyes watched as yet another Arancar, riding of all things a car, the absurdity of the entrance making even him question how much alcohol he had actually ingested on the way here. His attention however returned to Kura before him. His coat was still turned inside out but that wasn't apt to fool anyone if he decided to fight or release his reiatsu, rather it was merely done to keep the slightly less clever from figuring him out. If nothing else one might assume he had been one of those brought there that had merely been misplaced upon landing.
Kura spoke of her spiritual pressure possibly killing the other shinigami, and the threat was likely true to some of them, but not all. Given it would still incapacitate those that where strong enough to survive making them far easy to slaughter given the numbers here that could jump in. If nothing else he needed to buy time. He was grateful that at least one other shinigami from the outside had decided to come, and rather quickly at that given the time it took him to cross. The arrival and means of transportation was bound to do nothing but attract attention along the way, something he had tried to avoid doing.

"Fight?" he said laughing, "No, no, I merely came to retrieve that which is ours and if.." he began to say holding in a belch as if about to spill his stomach contents onto the ground before him before resuming. "Sorry... if you're unwilling to give them over to return, safely, back to where they where taken from... then I suppose that would be the only option. After all, it's not as if the hollow have had the best of friendships with us in the past so I see the two results as our only current options" he said, making no move for his zanpaktou. In reality drawing it made him no more deadly, his body itself was his weapon, as deadly as any drawn blade do to the years of honing and abuse it had taken tempering it like steel. He had no intent to use it and even if he had his own fighting style was more reactionary anyways meaning taking an aggressive start was, by far, not his favored or even of choices.

((Was waiting for others to respond rather than cluttering it up with our posts, but it's been a while sooooo oh well haha))

Yasumeh eyed Kura curiously. The idea that she wanted merely to meet with the shinigami authorities personally confused him slightly as his mind tried to weave different possible scenarios as to why she would wish for such a thing. She essentially claimed it to be for the sake of preventing bloodshed, however with hollows very need to devour souls to survive it seemed almost an impossible goal to achieve. None the less the alternative wasn't a promising thing to come about. He remained silent for several seconds, his glazed eyes half fixed on her or past her at times and it seemed almost as if he was in deep thought or more than likely given his appearance had merely dozed off with his eyes open.
"I could do that very thing... however I can not trust that their safety will be maintained while I do so" he said taking another swig from his small sake gourd. "And unfortunately your word as true as you may claim it to be would not be sufficent, I'm certain you can sympathize as my word to do so after I have taken my shinigami back would also be unsatisfactory... with that much. Instead I propose the alternative. You let them return and I hand pick a single shinigami to relay the message with my blessing. You loose a handful of hostages but gain..." he began to say with a sigh having to reveal his coat, though he was certain at least some of them would have figured it out, "A Captain, far more valuable it would seem, given the excuse for a retrieval team sent to rescue the missing few" he said wavering left and right slightly, looking as if he was ready to fall over at any moment. "Besides I don't know if I'd quite be able to remember it all once I got back". The idea didn't sit well with him, but he knew that if he where to actually get the best chance of saving those that had been taken that this would be his chance.

“Don’t give me that look. You know as well as I do that if there are one of them floating around there are likely more hiding in the shadows. All I was doing was making sure they knew where they stand in a situation like this. We are the rule makers Senrai. Don’t go forgetting that now or we’re all in for a world of s**t.” The Quincy said as he stepped out of the car. Of course what he said was truth; he wouldn’t lie to his brother, but that wasn’t to say it was one hundred percent complete.. Hitting a shinigami while they had their back turned definitely brought a smile to his face. There was just something about seeing the prone figure of one of the so called ‘keepers of the balance’ that sent a shiver down his spine. “What are you doing?” It was hard to keep the surprise and the disgust from leaking into his normally uncaring voice. His brother was going to soil his hands by touching such filth. “You’re letting yourself become weak, Senrai.” Unfortunately by the time he managed to say it his brother had disappeared with the telltale static pop of sonido.

“Where do you get off saying you had important work to do? All you did was wait for me to bring the weirdo to you.” Seiko growled as he stepped off of the reishi platform he had created beneath him. His pride had once again gotten the best of him and his mouth responded before his mind could catch up with it. “And you… who are you to sit there thinking you can throw around suggestions like your amongst equals? Any one of the Kings could easily rip your spine out of your a** and yet you stand there mocking them with your inebriated ramblings!” He spit to the side, slate gray eyes taking in the sorry display of shinigami. “Why are we even discussing this? Just end them now and get over it.” Without waiting for a response the Quincy lifted his left hand. From the cross on his wrist came the dark, angular bow of the Kazume Clan leader, an arrow forming out of the dense reishi without so much as a second thought. Just as he was about to release the arrow his arm was jerked to the side and instead of being able to take joy in watching the Captain’s head run through on a spire he had to watch his arrow skip across the sand and implant itself in a random adjuchas. Turning to scold his brother for messing up his shot he was instead met with a fist.

”Nuh uh, I found them first!” The little tyrant responded to the odd-looking man who seemed off balance. He was glad that Kura had formally acknowledged his ownership, yet for it to be challenged again! By a Shinigami even. Shinigami can’t own Shinigami, that’s like slavery and made as much sense as a puppy having ownership over another. Now an Arrancar that owned Shinigami, that was much more reasonable. Akin to human ownership of a puppy. Not that puppies talked, mind you. But as usual, Satsu’s little mind began to think of ways to make this work. Maybe he could make some trades? There were plenty of things he wanted to try from the Human World. He racked his brain for everything other Hollows had mentioned to him, as well as objects he had discovered during his own, short sojourns to the Human World.

”Buuuut, Mr. Straw Hat, I’ll trade you some Shinigamis for a hundred pounds of chocolate, something called Red Bull, a pony, lots and lots and lots of water, something else called tequila, packs of “Instant Ramen”, and uhm… There was something else one of his researchers from Los Desaparecidos had brought up a while ago, mentioning how it’d be really helpful. ”A nu-cu-ler reactor.” Of course he wasn’t expecting all of those things, he knew how rare ponies were and he’d be willing to compromise a pony for a unicorn or a Pegasus. Other things were critical though, such as the aforementioned nu-cu-ler reactor and the chocolate. And depending on how much he could get, he thought about keeping a few Shinigami, maybe just one or two. It seemed reasonable enough to him and there were an excess of Shinigami in Soul Society anyways.

It didn’t take long for Satsu to sense the arrival of another strong Spiritual entity. Followed by a thudding noise and Satsu noticed Senrai , another one of the kings, standing atop a black cool-looking car of some sort. ”Hey hey Senny, is that a present for me?” Satsu asked as he pointed excitedly at the car. It wasn’t rare for the other king to give stuff to the easily-pleased child-king. There wasn’t a better way to appease him and keep the peace. On the other hand, it was a really nice car. Most people probably wouldn’t be too keen on parting with it. And Satsu couldn’t even reach the pedals with his current stature. Not that there was much to crash into in Hueco Mundo anyways. Another guy also appeared from inside the car, most likely the driver. He formed something from reishi and created a bow seemingly out of nothing in his left hand. And it was a cool-looking bow too.

”Whaaaa…” Satsu whispered to himself. Now he wanted to be able to do something like that. Maybe he should ask the man to teach him? Especially how to fire an arrow. He was even willing to forgive the man who kinda looked like Senrai for shooting an Adjuchas. Not that Satsu was really capable of using a Quincy’s bow.

(Forgive me for leaving anything out. I just wanted to get a post in)

[Yeah. I gave everyone a bit of time since I knew a few people were coming back but I owe a post or two now.]

Kura was interested in Yasumeh's proposal. She weighed it up to herself. He was a Captain to that guaranteed that he'd be privy to information that others were not and if she were able to convince him to work with her for the better of both of them then she was certain that she could obtain far more useful information. However she could not use torture techniques to obtain it. Of this she was certain. He would be at least on some level trained to resist it unlike the recruits here whose development she could guide but would also be able to exert a greater influence over. There was also the option of dispatching of him and taking all of them but that would give the recruits some sort of support. The offer did however interest her and so she decided to question it further after letting each person shout their part at him. She was not particularly interested in the thug that Senrai moved around with all but for the fact he was a Quincy and it was ever so slightly intriguing but nothing more.

"I will consider your offer after you tell me how you plan to prove they go with your blessing." Kura considered that he may use a butterfly to transmit a message as Shinigami seemed to do but was unsure of the exact mechanics of it. She was also unsure of just how that would be evidence. It wasn't as though the Sereitei could rule out that she had used certain means to force him to record a message. The whole operation was far more risky as it was more than likely a second rescue team would be sent after Yasumeh given he was a Captain and also because there was a chance he would escape. There was also the issue of Satsu demanding far more than was reasonable for a few Shinigami. Half if not all the things he had listed meant nothing to Kura.

"I would obey my subordinates wishes if I were you. You are in no position to make deals with us now." Kura highlighted the fact that Yasumeh was not just surrounded by hollows but the hollows who even the other hollows feared above all else. Those with personalities so forceful or with strength so great that few hollows even dared to cross their paths. Even if that was not enough some of the oldest of all hollows were gathered here tonight. Kura had been willing to diffuse the situation without a threat of superior fire-power earlier but she could see no other worthwhile path of action than ridding herself of the Captain. "I will keep the Shinigami safe in my domain if that is acceptable to Satsu? I will save him the trouble of feeding and clothing them for a small period of time. I have nothing to gain from killing recruits and it would not be acceptable as they belong to Satsu. Now go. The longer you stay here the greater danger you place yourself and your fellow Shinigami in. " The situation otherwise seemed hopeless to Kura. Satsu would not relinquish his ownership and this meeting would dissolve into a bloodbath sooner rather than later. Not wanting this Kura's only intent now was to force a conclusion to her part in dealings now.

Kura looked over briefly at Accapello. She was with Torrik then. The Arrancar that may or may not have had human ears at all and was talking in his place. Well he needed a mouthpiece of some sort. He was deathly quiet. Even more-so than Kura who only spoke because it was a necessity to control this situation that had unfolded without killing Yasumeh. She acknowledged that he had 'been on vacation' for no more than a day with a nod. Clearly that was not the case but it was an answer she was content with. Even Hollows had things they didn't talk to each other about.

When the world is yours....

Angel looked at Kura with a surprised look at what she was proposing. In simple terms a peace treaty with the Soul Society. He rubbed his chin as he went in to deep thought on the idea, "That is gonna be difficult. Even if you wish for peace their is always someone or some splinter group who will disagree. Either side could start a fight and give a reason to attack the other. Hmmmm...." He said to himself as he went back in to thought. He didnt really pay attention to the others conversation as his mind went on overdrive on ideas on how this grand plan could work. This would take months or even years to perfect, but their was always an unknown unvariable. He growled, "This will be very difficult."

.....what is left for you to take?
