[BSD-RP] Soul Society: Southeast Seireitei

[BSD]

Everyone had to be here at this point. It had been moments since the Division had made their way into the Nest. Nearly a full house and can tell by standing apart from the rest, Xiaolin took a quick glance around the area and counted heads without any recount or back track. Over one hundred were currently in audience with the Third Seat. Though what about the other seated officers? Had they been among the many members tending the Maggot’s Nest? His light brown orbs after counting had only looked to scout out the other two seated officers, with a mere squint. He could’ve called out their names, they didn’t have to be among the rest given their status nor because of Xiaolin being in charge of this area. Ongoing silence but inside voices among the members, the blank expression on his face made others think if he was going to say anything else after what he had announced prior. Suddenly, a loud outburst came from the crowd, shouting the latter’s name. His head pivot in the direction and could only note one’s small head with bright sea green hair-- it was just who he was looking for, one of them anyway and then, the other had barged in late. It’s no wonder why he couldn’t find her. Meanwhile the petite Fifth Seat made her way closer, now it was easy to spot the two and he finally could address them to come forth.

“ Sakiko, Fujioka. I’d rather have all the seated officers away from the rest. Come forth, if you will.” Simply distinguishing the highly seated members from the lower ranking ones, it can be easy to divide them into groups should a situation calls for that. Had the two proceeded with standing by Xiaolin and the two guards beside him, he’d continue to address them in regards to the matter with his own inside voice, refraining from speaking aloud to the entire audience. “I may be just as clueless as you two are, but this is clearly not a good sign. We’re more than capable of a division to stand our ground. Sakiko, I’m sure you have messengers from the inner that can relay back to us in regards to the First Division. We’re utterly clueless until given an order. ” Xiaolin was as calm as he could be, despite the seemingly, needless situation. Doing his part, he just hoped that the things outside of here calmed down. After taking a breath, his eyes shifted to the Sixth Seat. Xiaolin is highly proficient at figuring out what one is feeling. He could tell that Fujioka was oblivious right after her entry. “Based off what I said, let’s just maintain composure. There’s nothing, no one we can’t dispose of as a Division.”

The bank face of the third seat was visible through the parting crowd after a moment and she nearly tripped over her own gata as she managed to push her way through the last few stragglers that hadn't seen Sakako making her way through. The single block didn't even make a single noise as she righted herself carefully but with the concerned murmurs of the crowded room, this was to be expected. Once she was standing in front of Xoilin she looked all the smaller the bagginess of her clothing making her look all the more childlike and her bright yellow eyes haveing to gaze all the way up at him. Now that she laid eyes on her friend close enough to touch him she realized something that the others couldn't get from that blank expression the others couldn't. He knew as little as she did. She could see this even before he said a word. Her eyes grew a bit wider and quickly not wanting her own messengers to hear what was being said she gave a small wave to dismiss them. The two, however, seemed to know that this was where the most information would be given they knew better than to detach themselves completely from potentially important information and they remained close in the crowd.
She wouldn't have let him speak until they had gone a bit farther however, she didn't want them spreading the word that the superiors where all useless after all in a time like this the last thing they needed was a mutiny. Despite the fact that the second division was loyal to their death that didn't mean that there wasn't the possibility that the stress and lack of information in this situation couldn't tip them over the edge. If Fujioka would join them she would give a nod and would let her hand pull free the short blade that her squads normally used for communication. It was likely both of them would have seen this device before so she didn't bother with explanations. The only godsent of the situation, however, was that she was no longer drowning in the sea of bodies she just had the other two a far more comfortable situation though not knowing Fujioka well left her still chewing on her lower lip with nervous energy as she fiddled with the hilt of the blade.
"That's just the thing... Xiaolin, something was cutting off my comunication I couldn't even get static."
She flipped between channels where quiet chatter was filtering through a small filter most of it in code that the others would likely not understand then one more flip and it was as though it was turned off or that no one was using it. This went through a few more of the channels before sound returned. She shook her head, she was glad the messengers wouldn't be able to notice this due to the fact that they had limited channels but her own could access the channels of all her men for simple safety reasons that would allow her to give back up to her charges when it was necessary. She would look to the others for advice but there was no way for her to know that at this point most of her messengers that had joined with the captain where likely dead having given themselves for the barrier that possibly wasn't even still up at this point.
"I don't like being disconnected... I feel like something is going to happen at any moment,"

She wasn't exactly a psychic but all of this was just making her extremely nervous. She had no way of knowing that a returning small squad of her own messengers in the second division barracks had heard the sounds of the entrance of others that didn't belong there. The messengers were well trained to be unseen and they had home-court advantage, they knew each dark corner of the place and it wouldn't be difficult for them to be spotted by the outsiders. With no lights to illuminate the dark halls of the seemingly abandoned second division, there were plenty of places to hide and with the shrouding dark that seemed to wrap the area, it gave everything chilling energy that could only come from knowing that this place housed so many ruthless killers.

Despite her small frame, Kazumi used her tiny body to brush away those who were coming too close to the Division Two members. It was somewhat comforting they all looked as confused and lost as she felt, however, she refused to let it show on her face. A light smile lifted her lips as she looked over their faces, hoping to give a calming effect. The inmates, however, received a cold gaze and kept their distance. Vaguely recognizing the faces of her fellow squad members surrounding her she felt a little more at ease herself. Kazumi knew that most of them could hold their own and with the large gathering of them they would doubtless be able to handle any situation that came from the less than wanted company surrounding them.
Though she had seen them, she said nothing to the two others of ranked seating that she could recognize in the room. Knowing little about either of them she saw no justification in approaching them for mere social purposes. It also seemed incredibly rude on her part to simply walk up to those of higher status than her with no true reason. With this in mind she continued with her mild crowd control, though it seemed to be managed for the moment. Those who were imprisoned recognized the squad, and regardless of the confused looks on their faces it was fairly obvious not to mess with them. Hearing her name along with that of the fifth seat her head shot up, looking over to their third seat. Carefully moving through the throngs of people she made her way toward him, but Sakiko had reached him first from where she had been. Nearing the both of them as they talked she paused, eyes lifting upward at light shaking of the rocky ceiling above them.

Something big was happening outside, but it was fairly impossible to tell in their current situation. Their location made it futile to attempt to sense any near-by reiatsu that wasn't located directly inside the cave, leaving the rest of the area a mystery to her. What an unsettling sensation.... Finally arriving beside the two she gave a light bow of respect for them both being of higher status before setting her eyes on Xiaolin as he spoke. Kazumi could feel him studying her face, discomfort rising in her as she could sense his recognition of her helplessness. She had no idea what was happening and it was very obvious that he knew this by the look in his eyes. Straightening her posture she listened as he orate once more, hardening her eyes and face in an attempt to give off less fear and more of an authoritarian air.
"Sir!"
Giving a bow at the waist before she straightened herself almost immediately she turned slightly. Enough to not be so disrespectful as to turn her back to him completely but enough to keep an eye on the area around them that he was not looking at. Taking a moment she looked to Sakiko who seemed stressed over her radio, giving a light smile to her and a nod of her head. Whatever was happening, they would be fine. As he had said, there was nothing they could not handle together. Kazumi believed these words completely, feeling the doubt slowly erase from her mind. It didn't matter what they were facing or why this was happening, they would prevail in the end.

Katsuo fell over with an “OOF” upon getting smacked by Oya. He knew they were supposed to stay outside and observe, but something was bothering him, and as an Oda, he wouldn’t want to just sit back and watch as others risk their lives defending their home. He rubbed his head as he slowly got back up hearing Oyama, and was going to apologise to her, until he felt like they were being watched by the rest of division two no doubt… he wondered if anyone of high command for division two was here. He would have to apologise to Oya later. Now, they had company. A lot of company, from the feel of it.
“It’s alright… Katsuo Toshiyuki Oda, 5th seat of squad thirteen…”
He said, to what would appear to be an empty lot, but call it the sixth sense, he felt beings watching him, from everywhere. They weren’t authorized to be around here, but it was where they landed anyway.
“I’m looking for answers regarding the current situation… earlier today Onmitsukido members were in front of every barracks we passed by to get here, and were being eaten by vines… As a member of squad thirteen, we still have no true clue as to what exactly is going on. If there’s anyone here wiling to give us some answers, we’re here to help, that’s all…”
He said, keeping his hands at his sides and keeping pretty still. He motioned toward Oya to do the same, but to keep on guard anyway in case squad two really were all traitors instead of a select few as Katsuo had guessed earlier. Now, the ball was in their court. Were they going to attack… or were they going to listen to the squad thirteen members and tell them what’s going on so that they could be of some help now?

character: Oyama Hoshi

She was still in a daze, her eyes closing as she was overthinking things for a moment, but something started to happen, a voice spoke to her. Not out loud but in her head, It was familiar, causing her to snap out from her thoughts, only to find herself standing not in second, but in gothic style stone room, with polished marble floors to where one could look down and see a perfect image of themselves.
“You’re a foolish girl you know! Overthinking things, instead of looking around! Along with the fear of what others think of you!”
Her eyes widened at this scolding, infact she was more surprised he decided to talk to her. There she looked at the small Red Panda, his fur darker than that of a normal one. In fact it was the colour blood was, his face was one of anger, before pointing down at Oyama’s feet, before speaking, to which she would look down, at see herself…. Though it wasn’t exactly her, this one had a wicked grin, her hair was blood red, with her eyes red as well. It was her other half, the more happy to kill and don’t ask any questions.
“She will break free if you don’t satisfy that blood lust.” his head shook before dashing forward with his paw out in front hitting Oyama in the stomach, to which she would awaken to Katsuo speaking.
“I’m looking for answers regarding the current situation… earlier today Onmitsukido members were in front of every barracks we passed by to get here, and were being eaten by vines… As a member of squad thirteen, we still have no true clue as to what exactly is going on. If there’s anyone here wiling to give us some answers, we’re here to help, that’s all…”
It appeared he wasn’t a full on hot head, like he had shown before, but willing to reason a bit. Though she herself was still weary of her surroundings, for she was concerned that they were in a barracks that wasn’t theirs and it was their home advantage. They knew everything about this place both inside and out. She wanted to test the waters, be a little more daring, in doing so she move towards the barracks, with her hand on her zanpakuto readying to draw it out, in which if there was an attack to happen Katsuo would hopefully react in time to warn her.
