The Theme
Está en noches como éstos, donde la luna es tan brillante que es como si refleje el alma del mundo mismo, que yo me pregunto acerca de todo...
The Stage
It is silent. Only the wind, which has picked up in the last hour, can be heard rasping gently as it flows through the narrow alleyways and dirty streets that permeate Karakura Town's Red Light District. The small courtyard in which this story takes place is filthy, littered by the undesirables of every class, but most of all the poor. Garbage in the form of rags and rotted papers and broken toys covers the ground so thickly that what few strands of foliage that still exist in this forsaken place are hard pressed to stand above the roof of poverty and neglect. Such is life.
Aside from the scenery, the courtyard is nearly vacant; most of its usual inhabitants are fast asleep in their beds. The only company the courtyard has this night exists in two young Shinigami, and even then, they are there on business.
The Act
“Animals, the lot of them I mean.”
“Mm.”
“Completely filthy. Soul Society could never be allowed to be this filthy.”
“Mm.”
Helios took one last drag on the cigarette in his hand before flicking it away and crouching down next to his partner. A few feet in front of them, laid the chalked outline of what was once a man, young, maybe in mid-twenties. In any case, when his body was found it was barely identifiable. The killing had law enforcement stumped, the bruises and lacerations were so vicious that it was deemed improbable that they could be caused by any weapon such as a knife, and to boot they resembled claw marks, teeth marks. But what sizable man eating animals were there in the concrete jungle that was Karakura Town? The local law enforcement was stumped, but, to their credit, this was out of their jurisdiction.
“At least twelve feet… judging by the claws I mean. “
“Mm.” Helios nods at his partner’s assertion and brings a hand up to his eye and rubs it. Haki was good at this type of analytical stuff; Helios wasn’t, and they both knew it. Thus, Helios sufficed to sit back and watch the brown haired boy go to work. And work he did; upon arrival the two Shinigami immediately got to work, stepping over the yellow police tape bordering the crime scene and sliding into their by now near automatic motions. As Haki began his processing, Helios lit up one of the cigarettes he’d found in a box laying around. At first, it irritated Haki to no end, the smoke especially. “Why do you even do that?” The young Shinigami would always start off by saying that when he had an objection to an aspect of Helios’ life style. “Cigarettes are bad enough for Humans, why do you smoke them?” And Helios would answer. “Because I want to.” The discussion always ended in the same way. “And besides, cigarettes represent the cool part of Human culture. All the coolest Humans smoke.” Haki would say something about that being a stupid reason, and Helios would shrug; then they’d move on.
“Whatever Hollow did this has some pretty nasty claws.”
“Mm.”
“Wouldn’t want to tangle with it.”
“Definitely do.” This was Helios’ first time back in the Human world for almost a month, and he was more than excited to be back in his element. A month in Soul Society was beyond torture for him, and maybe if they took care of business quick he’d have some time to run around a bit before his next assignment.
“Hey, are we handling this one alone?”
“No, I think someone from another squad is supposed to be coming?”
“’Kay. You wanna wait here?”
“Why not.”
“Kay.”
“Haki.”
“Yeah?”
“Obama smokes.”
“That’s stupid. You’re stupid.”
“Alright.”

)) Couple of ground rules, this is thread is PM invitation only, meaning I either invite you, or you ask and I say yes. If you're invited to this thread, there is a rule that you have to adhere to, one that doesn't necessarily apply anywhere else on the board. This is a story driven thread, not a "lul fuck shit up fight everything" thread, what that means is that primarily, NPC's will be fought, and I will control these NPC's, they will have abilities created by me, and they will be scaled to your power level so that if you fight you are both relatively equal. Because I am controlling them, that means that you can not just kill them in your post, you have to treat them as if you are fighting another PC player, and even beyond that.It even goes beyond that, because I am narrating this story and if you don't like something I have an NPC do in a post or he survives an attack that you think is unsurvivable, suck it up. If you can't hang with that, don't post in here. This is mostly a Shinigami fighting Hollows story, so if your character is a Hollow, and all he wants to do is kill things (which is what most Hollows do), don't be surprised if I don't let you in the thread, this is primarily open to Shinigami, Quincy, and maybe a couple of Advents. ((
EDIT- )) Alright then. Eviscerate and EvilAngel are participating in this. That means that, including Haki, there are four Shinigami total. I think that's the most efficient amount for this roleplay, so this is now closed to anyone else, sorry. ((
