Welcome to Gaia! ::

After taking a nice long bath to scrub out even the ugliest of smells after such a mission as his last, Efrain took it upon himself to personally welcome a newcomer to the division. He was certainly looking forward to the meeting, Focus Efrain! Keep your mind on the task at hand! Strictly busy! Sides, woman can smell fear, fear and anxiety, or was it fear and surprise...? The Spanish Inquisition? For god's sakes, Efrain Focus! So what did he know about her? Not much yet, except she had 'long dark hair' and 'golden orange' eyes and that was all he heard aside from her room being in the northern wing. Well, all that he heard before resolving to go take a look, Of course now... I'm walking around like a fool because I didn't stay long enough! Come on Efrain! You've got to act cool when you're ambling along! Well, at least look like you belong here... Maybe I'll stumble into her? Hopefully not literally, that'd make a horrible first impression...

((Open RP as of circa early 20's postcount.))

Maybe he had seen too many of those poorly dubbed foreign cartoons on his forays, but Efrain froze up on one toe with his arms ready to protect his gorgeous face (( xd )). Oh snap! I swear I heard a voice! From.. down.. the hall... Is my hair on straight? Fitfully putting one foot down, Efrain relaxed a bit and shook of the tension. Even putting his jacket to rights and dusting off his appearance. Fear and Surprise, the Spanish Inquisition. sighing, Geez why am I scared? It's not like Sayuri got into the knife drawer... Gotta be carefuly on the greetin' tho', she might not be from the state. Ok! I'll stick with the bright and cheery, 'Hi!', or 'How you doing?' ... No, that's a states thing... Then it hit him, Oh crap! What if she doesn't speak english! even though his mind registered the perfectly understandable, 'hello'. Bam, like a truck! @#$%! That was a 'Hello'! Reply you retard, reply! On the cusp of an anxiety attack, Efrain finally pulled himself together and mustered a low, "Yo..."

Ok. Ok. Chill! She's only.. woah... "Hey, new to the division? I'm Efrain, pleased to meet you." as Efrain offered a hand after finding a practised confidence he never thought he had. Gee, I hope they have handshakes as greetings where-ever she's from... a place I wouldn't mind visiting now that I think about it!

Whew, for a second there... Inner Peace, Serenity and whatnot. Relaxing a bit, though Efrain relished the moment, he gestured with a free hand around him at their surroundings; he would have freed his other hand, but he'd let that happen later on. "This entire building is the Division. Inside it houses 10 smaller divisions assigned with the task of... Oh what's the word..." furrowing his eyebrows, Efrain thought for a moment, "Watching over the living all over the world. We, you and I, are shinigami. Souls granted a second chance at life... roughly. I'd be more then happy to show you around!"

Great job! oh yeah, definitely a crowd pleaser... Damage control, damage control! "You look plenty alive to me. Think of it as being reborn." Yeah, good, dissemble the topic, maybe then you can solve this mess, Efrain, maybe. "Yes'm, at one point. I, like you, passed away. As quick as that happened, I found myself here." Efrain released Dima's hand just before they started to get sweaty, "Essentially we, and all the shinigami in the division, have died and been brought back. Like I said, a second chance."

"Well you're certainly welcome to..." #$%@, What do I say to that? "Ya got me there, but lemme ask you this... What was the very last thing you remember doing? Very last. Besides here and right now. Very last?"

Ah... I don't have the will to spout curses anymore... not even think 'em... Sighing, "No... no one kidnapped you... I'll even show you where all the exits are if needbe..." Maybe I should give up? Noo... "What would it take for me to convince you that no one stole you away in the dead of night? Much less the whole idea that everyone here was dead at one point... Here how bout this, got a knife? You can stab me here," as Efrain pointed to his chest, "or if you prefer the back," turning around, "I don't think a kidnapper would offer you those choices. Need something sharp? The cross on my chain here is sharp enough." Efrain began to loosen and drop the metal, his back still turned. "Free shot, or shots, take as many as you want. Didn't kidnap you, all this is voluntary, I wont stop you."

Well, at least she didn't stab me... Tells me she's not crazy at least... Efrain tidied up real quick, "Mustn't be late, why don't I help out then? Never know when you might need an extra hand." WWSD?
