[TRN] :: Castle Redbrook :: (Bount)

[Natsuki Saomi]

::Castle Redbrook::

Castle Redbrook was built over the remains of the Bount Cavern after it's original destruction at the hands of Ronan, a powerful entity of the Hollow realm some many years back. Rumors of his return are varied. The castle stands impressive, in an old English style. The rooms are elegant and expansive, with the ruins of the cave beneath, being turned into a training facility for Bount to develop their relationship with their dolls and harness their spirit vampire abilities.

Shinji Nakamura
-Bount-

It had been a long time since Shinji Nakamura had been to Japan, especially Karakura Town were the ancient cavern of the first Bount had hid and trained in secret. Now the elderly soldier of god had returned home with his Doll, Shwarzgeist, to begin to fully train for the purpose of taking over Karakura and making it a haven for Bounto and to turn the lowly humans who had developed spiritual awareness of their immortal condition into their slaves. "I guess it's time to get serious...", the wizened man yawned out as he walked into the area and looked around at all the dust covering the carvings and the instructions for the techniques of old. This place had not seen a fresh body in quite some time, and Shinji was here to change that aspect of the Cavern right now. "Hmm...Should be enough room for me to do this.", he continued in his self-talk as he brought forth black spirit particles and manifested his doll, the Black Specter, the Kuro Yurei, and to the Americans who had died at it's clawed hands; The Black Ghost. Shinji's doll resembled his form somewhat, a fiend made up of what looked like black spirit particles and ebony bandages. It's head even had the shape of the cap he wore. The more note worthy aspect of the Black Ghost was it's malevolent presence. It seemed to share it's master's killer instinct and desire for slaughter, and it's aura wreaked of blood lust. A pair of monsters would be the appropriate term for the elderly man and his spectral servant, but that was too kind of an assessment. They were creations of a rogue project of the Soul Society, and a more accurate definition of Shinji would be a plague from the afterlife.

"Ghost, let's clean up the place. I need my new temporary home to be nice and clean for when the rest of the guests arrive.", he commanded with an eerie grin. His doll said nothing, and did nothing but obey. It sprung into action and began to swipe at the dust, clearing it away with it's power and presence. It was a mundane task for a Doll, but Shinji was not just using this as an excuse to avoid putting his own elbow grease into cleaning up the cavern, no. This was his idea of training, but multi-tasking as the doll would practice the Body Shift technique as well. The pair of them would need to master the ability to shift and move at high speeds if they were to contend with the Shinigami's Flash Step technique or the Quincy and their annoying God Step. Movement was key for the way Shinji and Shwarzgeist fought anyway. The pair were known for ambushing their prey by Shinji attacking from the front, and then manifesting Shwarzgeist to attack them from the side of their view or the back. Most of the people he had fought were soldiers in the jungles of Vietnam, and while they could go hand to hand with the elderly Bount to a fair degree, making for an even match, they found themselves at a severe disadvantage when the tables turned into a two on one slaughter. Humans were truly inferior creatures compared to Shinji and the black ghost doll of his. They had the will to desire freedom, but lacked the strength to achieve their destiny. It was as if they were simply blank slates that received no finishing touches. "At least they make for good livestock.", he chuckled as he trained, letting the thoughts of Bount supremacy cycle through his mind.

Shinji had developed an interest in video games as well in his time on Earth; Their invention and development, as well as their evolution and difficulty never ceased to amaze him, as he often compared their difficulty to real life situations. When he was on the fields of combat, under cover as another name during Desert Storm, he was known for telling his comrades (Who he ended up devouring along the way when they were killed in action), "You know why I play games on the hardest difficulty available? Because the harder it is, the more fun it is to beat it." Some of them thought he was crazy, but the fact was, they could not have been closer to the truth. He was crazy indeed by human standards. He operated on the fact that he did not die, he was the soldier of god after all. Death was only a starting point for him, he would keep coming back as many times as it took to achieve his goal. That was the secret of the soldier of death. "I've got a cheat code for infinite lives.", he muttered to himself as the doll finished the task while he fired up a Playstation Portable and began to play a video game while he waited. There was plenty of time to work, but for Shinji, it was time to relax and enjoy life for a moment.

"Right now..We are just going to enjoy the beta test...The first play through has yet to start...", he chuckled darkly, letting the sickening sound of his playful, yet murderous laughter echo through the cave. His doll often mimicked his speech, speaking in a sort of auto-tuned version of his master's voice, "We..are..just..going to..enjoy..the beta..test.."

Shinji Nakamura
-Bount-

Shinji Nakamura, the Bount with a Black Ghost, and his aforementioned doll had been hard at work in cleaning up the Cavern of the long lived noble line of the spirit vampires that had been created by the Soul Reapers so many years gone past. While the Reapers had created their breed, the elderly man held no love for the creators, as their attempt to 'fix' the issue of their soul consumption was a failed genocide of the entire race. It was due to this that he lie in wait, preparing for when the time to emerge and put his plan into action to become opportune. Time was needed to gain further strength to be able to contend with the power of his spiritual foes who operated on the pretense of balance and order. That couldn't be further from the truth, they had done nothing but impose their view of how the Soul Cycle should work on all creation, and it was this fact that made them nothing but totalitarian dictators of the very fabric of the natural order. This would not suffice for the Bount race, nor did it fit Shinji's design to take over Japan and turn it into a haven for the noble order of the spiritual vampires. He wanted a place were future Bount children could be born and grow while the dredged souls of humanity became their sustenance.

Shinji was still playing his hand held videogame while the doll Shwarzgeist finished the last of the cleaning detail. "Hnnn, this waiting game is worse than a loading screen, but soon enough, the world will see that I do not game around with life. I am, indeed, very serious. This life I have been given along with many others will not be erased like a bad mistake.", he muttered to himself calmly. His frown that had graced his carefully wrinkled visage turned upward into a sort of twisted grin. "This will be a horrible save file that they just wont be able to delete.", his words continued. His doll stopped mid-motion as the emotional link shared between the two caused it to speak in a sort of echo of it's master's brutal desire, "This..waiting..game..is..worse than..a loading..screen..." The elderly bount shook his head as his doll spoke, and he couldn't help but admire how impressionable his creation was. It did leave him to wonder just what else he could 'teach' the creature. He then thought back to his time in the Vietnam War. It had been so long ago in the grand scheme of time and the eternal flow that it went upon since that chaotic time when Humans killed one another for nothing more than a difference in ideas. The doll had exhibited the ability to operate in a unique manner.

It was in the rice patty since the siege had started and Shinji found himself entrenched while mortars and shells whizzed past. "Man, I love difficult games.", a younger Shinji muttered to himself as he adjusted his helmet and finally took action. It was time to stop acting as his comrades in arms were falling left and right to Vietcong fire. He rushed into the jungle firefight, evading bullets and moving between trees and heavy forest growth with his mark sixteen assault rifle. It was a lethal situation for a normal human, though his reaction timing was faster, and his body stronger. Injuries were sealing up as he continued through the pain and fired his weapon, dropping enemy after enemy, but they seemed to come from everywhere, shouting in their language commands that were declaring that they would slay Shinji, but it was then that he manifested Shwarzgeist into the fray. "Time to turn down the difficulty, kill 'em all, ghost.", he commanded the doll as he sat down behind a tree and waited. It didn't take long for the screams of enemy soldiers to reach his ears through the trees as his black ghost went forth and clawed out their throats, but surprising was the doll's ability to adapt to the situation as it picked up a fallen soldier's rifle and began gunning down VC troops. "Time..to..turn..down the..difficulty..", Shwarzgeist moaned out as it lay waste to the small skirmish in the trees. It was interesting to the Bount, but it provided a variety of modes for his doll to attack with. Ranged and melee. The enemy had begun to retreat from the failed ambush maneuver, but the souls of the fallen lingered. Though their spiritual time on the earth was cut short as one by one, the young fledgling Bounto that was the American Soldier; Shinji Nakamura, devoured them all.

Recalling that time brought a sickening laughter from the old Bount. It truly was an accomplishment to kill during war, it set heroes apart from murderers, and soon would be the time for Shinji to become a war hero, but not to a nation. He would take on the mantle of a war hero or even a martyr for his powerful line of kin, the Bounto would rise to prominence under his guiding design for the world, and humanity would take it's rightful place beneath them. Though the disturbance in the Residential District was calling to the pair and so Shinji recalled his doll, and set off to go see the chaos.

Dolos stalked through the halls of an abandoned castle, her shadow slowly behind her. Veritas was carrying a stack of books, but other-wise looked identical to her leading twin. Dolos in opposition was carrying as many bottles of wine, liquor, and booze that she could find. They were slowly making their way down to the basement. "I'm telling you Veritas, there has to be a wine cellar. There's always a wine cellar in ritsy places like this!" Dolos yelled back at her sister, uncorking a bottle and downing the red, bubbly liquid in one go before tossing it to clatter down the set of stairs they were making their way down. Clack. Clunk. Thunk. Crash. It smashed against the bottom step. Veritas sneered at her sister's antics in disgust, "..you have already raided the larder. I highly doubt there can be much more left in this squallid place...I wish you could be a tad more refined..dear sister." Veritas spat. Dolos shrugged and grinned in response, guzzling down another bottle before throwing it against a stony wall. SMASH! A billion tiny pieces of glass twinkled in the dim light as they showered down around the two. "HAHAHA! DID YOU SEE THAT?! HA! I love when they explode like that!" Dolos yelled with jubilition as she bounced up and down on the ball of her right foot. Bottles sliped and clatted out of her arms, clinking together and rolling down the stairs. Veritas sighed in exasperation, pinching the furrow of her brow between a thumb and fore-finger as they turned at the bottom of the stairs and made their way towards a dark-foreboding hallway. "Could you please keep your voice down. You're giving me a head-ache." She growled. Dolos snarled in response, baring sharp fangs as they strode down the gray, stone hallway lit softly by hanging lamps. "Would you let loose once and awhile? Like last night! You were drowning in the bottle haha!" Dolos laughed, her personality doing a one-eighty. She could never be kept down for long. "...we will not speak of that. I'm telling you, you need some discipline." Veritas hissed. Dolos had a grin that spread like butter on a hot day in Texas. "Maybe like a dominatrix? w'chee!" She imitated the sound of a whip cracking, making an 'o' face and jumping forward as if a wasp had bit her right in the butt. "Oh yes Mistress. Anything you say mistress~" Dolos cooed, much to the dismay of Veritas, as she pushed open a set of large wooden doors. Barrels lined the walls of a musty cellar, cob-webs hanging from the ceiling of what could only be a wine-cellar. Veritas mouthed, "I can't believe she was right.", as they both walked in. Dolos got to opening up the first cask she could find as Veritas sat on a nearby stool and opened one of the many books she had precured from the dusty library in the west wing of this forgotten castle.

xxx Ahvira's steps were controlled as she surveyed the area. Like most establishments in this forsaken land, a figure head seemed difficult to find. Heel, toe, heel, toe. As she inspected the castle, her gait remained steady, her posture confident. Her expressionless face intimidated a few of the servants as they went about their duties. Figuring that the Bounts were the most likely ally for her kind, Mieren had set out to offer a hand to their kind. A very weak alliance it would be, at first. With little promised, little gained except perhaps aid to call on in times of need. The Bount shared commonalities with Hollows in that they were shunned and/or hunted by Humans, Shinigami and Quincy alike. Their natures of feeding upon Humans being vile to those who didn't understand. Feeding on humans being no different than humans eating animals who ate other animals. It was all a part of the food chain. All a part of the circle of life and death.

Shaking her head lightly at this thought, she began traversing down a set of stairs before her, merely exploring the grounds at this point, having ascertained there was no leader of sorts for her to meet with, at least at this point. The stairs led her to a dimly lit hallway, illuminated only by sporadic lanterns hanging every ten feet or so on the wall. Their flames flickered every so often, but their dull glow remained steady for the most part. Intrigued, Mieren continued. At the end of the hallway was an imposing set of wooden doors. Pushing the door open, she heard some noise from inside.

Preparing to enter, she filled herself with as much of The Source as she could hold. The Source was similar to, but quite unlike the "Reiatsu" of the common folk. In this Age it seemed to be a rare talent indeed. Perhaps The Dark One finally held his hold over this world. It would surely explain a lot. Whether or not this was the case, she was under strict orders and she would carry them out regardless of if her Forsaken knew of this or not. The Forsaken and the Forsaken alone were allowed contact with The Dark One himself, though it was not something even they looked forward to. Weaving air, she prepared binds for any who would oppose her entry and also shields of spirit to cut their link to their Spiritual Power. Figuring out how to apply this to someone who was unable to draw upon The Source was difficult, but it was a thing Mieren was able to learn. In Dreams, time is at your disposal. Mieren entered the wine cellar.

Dolos was currently splashing a pint of some foul, brownish liquid towards Veritas as Mieren stepped into the cellar. "Ah-hahahaha! Take that you bore! GAH!" She exclaimed ostentatiously, falling off of the barrel she was precariously balancing on. The wooden cask tumble and rolled with a clatter towards the austere, blonde newcomer. It thumped and clunked and rattled. Veritas' eyes followed the barrel as it rolled, her own orange orbs travelling up the sharply dressed hollow; From the soles of her boots to her toned glutes up to her strongly framed shoulders, across her lusciously full-lips. Her gaze finally stopped at the icey blue stern eyes of a powerful chiseled face, framed by soft flaxen locks. "Get up Dolos, we have company." She said, closing her book with a whoosh and thump. She placed the book slowly and carefully on the barrel she had just been sitting on, cross-legged. Her eyes narrowed as she kept her distance, her feet spaced evenly with her shoulders. Veritas' hands were clenched as she puffed out her unimpressive chest, standing with her back straight and her mediocre biceps flexed. "What can we do for you?" Veritas asked gruffly. Dolos rolled the barrel obscuring her view out of the way with her foot, pushing it with the heel. It scraped against the floor with a horrible din. The metal scratched against the cobbled floor. "BRAAAP!..hehe, whosit?" She belched, a gurgling liquidy noise escaped her throat before she posed a query. "Whoeryou?" Dolos stumbled to her feet, leaning on the barrel, slipping as it slowly rolled away from her. Dolos tripped over her own feet as she stood drunkenly in a stupor. One eye twitched as she eyed up the attractive new guest. "Hower you doin'~?" She flirted, turning her chin up as she winked at the golden-haired, blue-eyed goddess.

xxx Mieren stared down at the small set of bounts before her, eyes narrowed back at Veritas as she spoke up. Expression firm, she merely shifts her gaze to the other of the twins, Dolos, who was currently attempting to stumble to her feet. Assessing the situation, Mieren releases her hold on the weaves, still clinging to the True Source and the ecstasy it brought along with it.

Approaching Dolos first, Mieren merely leans in close enough to be face to face with the Bount. Eyes showing no sign of anything but perhaps a bit of disapproval, Mieren planted a deep and long kiss on Dolos' lips, forcing her back a few steps until she was backed up with her butt level with a small crate that had been a short distance behind her, plopping her down into a seated position.

Hoping that would sate the girl for the time being, Mieren approached Veritas next, flipping a larger cask of ale on it's end and seating herself on it, the barrel creaking beneath her weight. "Well, firstly, I'd like a glass of wine. Whatever's the finest you have. And secondly, I'd like any information you have on this manor and it's lords and ladies. Are there any masters of this abode?" As Mieren spoke, she crossed one leg over the other, a smile now upon her lips as she spoke with Veritas. It was a faint smile, but a smile nonetheless.

Dolos' eyes blew wide open, golden globes flung wide; Pupils dilated as her black lashes were divided by a great white expanse. She did not expect Mieren to do that. Ho' boy was she a good kisser too! And dominant! Dolos found herself being backed against a barrel and pushed down into a seated position. Her fingers kneaded the metal rim of the barrel as her lips were accosted so intoxicatingly. She closed her eyes in ecstasy and felt herself slipping into comfortable warmth, and then literally slipping backwards off the barrel and tumbling end over end. She landed, head between knees and on her noggin. Face entirely flushed and completely stupified. "hic~ get'er number.." She murmured, pointing lazily at Veritas and waving her hand. Veritas meanwhile, ignoring her sister utterly, swirled a glass as she poured the finest wine should find. A fine year, she thought. Her extensive reading had led her down a trail of research above vineyards and the process of cultivating wine. "You seem to be a woman of more..refined tastes." She said quite ironically. Considering the blond-haired bomb-shell had just puckered lips to Dolos. But, she had a refined nature. Perhaps it was how she carried herself, or her stately attire. But Veritas certainly respected the much taller gilded goddess by the way she conducted. "Castle Redbrook, the current residence in which you find yourself maam.." Veritas said with a flourish of an upturned hand, gesturing to the dank cellar they currently resided in. "..Was originally an old cavern the original bounto gathered in. It was destroyed and rebuilt by an unknown party. Since then there haven't been many...visitors.." Veritas finished with a smirk, putting a tad more inflection on her final word as she stared into the sapphires of Mieren's eyes. "..wes thought we'd..crass here fer a bit..maybe learn shomthin' from the ol' shtones." Dolos hiccuped as she slowly rolled over onto her stomach. She cupped her chin in her hands and bent her legs, kicking her feet in the air as she stared through lidded cat like eyes up at Mieren. A sultry smile spread slowly across her. Dolos bit her lip, one fang nearly piercing the plump flesh as she traced a circle absently with the index finger of her right hand. "As my...obviously inebriated sister so articulately said, we came here to learn of our past. Though I have had little luck."

"The merest shade of me..."

Hideki had recently awoken inside the castle after about five years of slumber. The dust that had collected on his body seemed roll off of him as he stood, naked in the moonlight of his chambers. It was amazing that he had been left undisturbed up until this point, but with that in mind, the first thing he decided to do was shower up and put on his armor before slinking down stairs, and walking along the ceiling absently. He was one of the feared Hattori clan descendants, so in this mode of movement, it was likely that he would be on the hunt for a meal.

As Hideki walked along the ceilings of the halls and corridors, the scent of evil permeated his nostrils. It smelled absolutely delicious and it had been some time since he had enjoyed a good morsel of spirit energy. The sound of chatter seemed to reach his ears and it was not even hushed. This only served to entice him to investigate as he strode along the tops of the rooms until he entered the area were Dolos and Merien were located. It was a quaint encounter and one he decided to observe from his ceiling location, crouched like a gargoyle.

He could not help but let his curiosity get the better of him and the thoughts of wonder at to why a Hollow had decided to come to this sacred place of Earth's supreme race. Hollow were generally giant meals, being that they were basically constructed of the souls they consumed and thus a freakin' buffet to any Bount who was strong enough to take them down. Still, there was no reason to be rude to a house guest who could become a potential ally in this world currently being threatened by the Jokaisho Shards and the beings who controlled them, so he stayed his blades...for now. Staying silent as he spied on the two, until noticed, if at all. People rarely paid much attention to the ceiling, making it an excellent place to hide in plain sight.

"...is enough to defeat you."

Lusha walks through the rusty old gates of a old castle after leaving from the Ghastly Bringer Bar. The bar has some nice refreshments but nonetheless, too many mortals flood the place like rats. Some point Lusha feels to have a conquest over the World Of The Living but that must wait until she gathers more power in the far future. Lusha though lingers into the castle more and more as she begins to sense others which she with a serious look on her face uses Soul Material to attach onto a wall walking along it. In the far distance she sees Dolo, Veritas, Mieren, and Hideki. There something mysterious about Hideki that Lusha finds interesting but otherwise her focus is more about why is a Vasto Lorde here among all places. The castle itself is indeed the place where Bounts go to train, she feels the soul like essence of bounts stench up the place. Lusha though sensed a familiar being to herself which lingers on Hideki. Lusha though isn't friendly nor hostile to her own kind, she is more neutral with them and would wish to stay that way due to that they carry her same curse regardless where they are or who they serve. Lusha though goes toward the ceiling with Soul Material keeping the palms of her hands on the ceiling along with her feet as if she is sticking to a wall. Lusha observes the Vasto Lorde more closely in the shadows of a corner near where she is at licking her fangs a bit. "Oh my, the Vasto Lorde's spirit energy is so rich, i would love to have fun picking at her energy however there seems to be someone else that may want a taste of that energy." Lusha though could see Dolos is drunk as heck on the wine in the cellar. However Dolos is a bount she feels which she frowns greatly due to that Bounts lead to her cursed state. Lusha knows she can take her own pace of dealing with any bount as every bount should die by her hands. Though the spiritual pressure of the bount is weaker then the Vasto Lorde, something that Lusha takes great pleasure knowing that bount couldn't touch her in a battle though underestimating a opponent is a stupid mistake indeed. Lusha though plans to remain hidden and observe the Vasto Lorde's movements and see if she can potentially drain any spirit energy out of her. However she can't control it at this point, she is mainly able to drain spirit energy when she is excited in having "fun" with her potential victims. Lusha smirks a bit as she does have a lustful presence after all, with it so seeped in that tends; to create a murderous atmosphere around her.

xxx MMieren's expression remained hard as she kept her eyes locked on Veritas, the obviously more sensible of the sisters. Mieren was unfamiliar with the bond between doll and bount, and the little stories she had heard, Bount's dolls were creatures less than people, so her mind hadn't connected Veritas as the girl's doll, yet. Their spiritual signatures were rather similar, as well. Nearly identical, actually . . . which was odd in it's own rights. Mieren had spent her time as a soldier and was becoming acclimated to her new role as a general under her Forsaken. As a general, her skill set had grown to suit her needs. As she adapted, she picked up new skills such as reading reiatsu. From Veritas. From Dolos. And from the two strange bount spying on them from the roof. Without any of her wards set, she didn't need them if they weren't even Inverting the Weave. Perhaps she could learn more from action than words. So far, Bount seemed to be equally as predatory as Hollow. She'd had a hard time taming so many of the beasts of Hueco Mundo too weak to climb their way to sentience and content with their survival instincts alone. Were Bounts the same in this? Was Veritas (and ironically, Dolos) an example of the Bounts that had reached a higher level than the more base of their kind through willpower? Or perhaps the duo clinging to the ceiling above them were simply curious. Either way, it contented Mieren either way. Whatever meager information was fed her way was information she'd not held before. This excursion was a scouting mission to assess the viability of an alliance with the Bount kind. Perhaps her initially evaluation was in error. It was possible that these Bount were either unable to comprehend the concept of an alliance (or a fraction of them, rather) or maybe they were too loyal to their brethren of Earth to ally themselves with an enemy of theirs. Or, most conceivably, the Bount kind merely didn't want to share their meals with other predators. The entire while she was grading these options, she maintained a focus on what Veritas was saying . . . at least, in part. "Interesting." she spoke, tapping a long nail on the heel of her combat boot, her legs crossed in a masculine fashion. "What can you tell me of your kind?" As she spoke, she deliberately maintained a steady expression and calm demeanor. She didn't want to give it away that she knew the presence of-- Her expression nearly slipped as she realized that these two above possessed a spirit only "similar" to Dolos' and Veritas'. Her curiosity was peaked. "Are there different . . . variants? . . . of your race? Hollow can ascend in power on many different levels and each are notable in their own right via signature, appearance and several other means. Not even mentioning, if one was able to obtain a Jokaisho Shard. Are your kind similar in this regard?" Mieren maintained eye contact with Veritas as she spoke. Perhaps if she could tease out a bit more information before she progressed to more pressing interrogations.

Dolos sobered very quickly when she realized there were two more presences suddenly in the room. But she kept of the facade. A stupid grin remained on her face as she suggestively traced a circle with her right pointer finger in the dust. She blew a kiss at Mieren, winking as she puckered her lips. Her citrine eyes were as clear as brook water, no drunken haze veiled her gaze, but she bobbed her head as if still in a stupor. Her physiology helped her retain such a clearheaded mind, as did the danger of being attacked by two (if not three) stronger entities. "I'll tell ya all ya wanna know 'bout bounts if ya take me wit ya!" She said, still sluring her speech as if she had only just consumed copious amounts of alcohol (she had). Dolos gave Mieren a knowing look, gesturing to the rafters above with her eyes. Veritas never broke her gaze from Mieren, though she was also aware of the two that hadn't even bothered to mask their spiritual presences. She kept her sly, fox-like smile as she thumbed a page of the book on her lap. The parchment crackled beneath her unblemished digit, pressing against her delicate flesh in a way that almost seemed to threaten to break the skin. The books were old, musty and every movement caused the spines to groan. "There are different paths our race can take. Two that I am aware of." She replied politely to the tow-colored woman sitting in front of her. Mieren had impeccable posture, Veritas noted, and sat as if she had a lot of power at her finger-tips. Both literally and figuratively. "One, a fused bount. A bount that has become one with their doll." She said, holding up a delicate finger. "Two, a spirited bount. A bount who has such a close bond with their doll that they are practically alive. I believe we are nearing the latter." She said, offering a smile to Dolos. It was true. They were practically inseparable. Hell, they were identical. So much so that Mieren had already confused Veritas, though the more book-smart of the two, as the master and not the bount. "Both! Needsh a Jokaisho shard to make the trashformashion. Hic." Dolos chimed in suddenly, answering the last quesstion of the militaristic hollow that confidently sat before them, in a room of three bounts. Potential enemies...and comrades.

"The merest shade of me..."

Hideki glowered down at them as the full blood discussed the mechanics of how they operated and how dependent they were on huge sources of spirit energy to evolve. It actually seemed logical to him, but at the other hand of that argument, the Red Murder never had to face that particular need. His needs were actually quite simple. Feed, murder, torture, and possibly a little bit of a release here and there. He was considered an animal by some. Hideki preferred to think of himself as sort of a self-aware apex-predator. The top of the food chain, were Humans used to be.

The Red Murder gathered information on those present just by personal appearance. He wasn't certain if he had met any of them as nothing seemed familiar. His coffin had been moved from the caves below during the renovations and anyone who was aware of him five years ago was likely gone. The one that caught his eye more than the delicious meal of a Hollow below him was Lusha. A beautiful example of a hybrid at it's finest. His animal instincts inside growled as urges to become..friendly with her made themselves known to his conscious thought. All in due time, likely. There were more important matters at hand, like Dolos' guest, Mieren.

Though he eventually grew bored of the discussion at hand and chuckled audibly before dropping off the ceiling suddenly and landing in a crouched position. It was a solid landing, hinting at his training in something acrobatic, or more ninja-like. "Hideki Ishikawa, Karakura Town's infamous Red Murder, charmed. Erm..any of you fine ladies..", he said gesturing to Dolos and Lusha before finishing his sentence, "... mind explaining the buffet table here? I'm actually sort of hungry and unless it has been claimed for a purpose...Well, you see were I'm going with this?", he said with a toothy grin now flashing to Mieren. His voice was soft and presented a well-mannered aura, despite the brutal beast of a mental state that lived behind the façade he was putting on now. A wolf who could act like a lamb. It was his most dangerous character trait. "No hard feelings, but you know what they say? Don't wave a flat-steak in front of a hungry wolf.", he said to the Hollow. It was clear he had every intention of attempting to devour her unless a clear purpose for the blonde's continued existence remained.

"...is enough to defeat you."

Lusha as she was clingy on the ceiling with the Soul Material ability, she was licking her fangs looking at Mieren wanting to taste the hollow energy she has even have"fun" while she is at it. Lusha though does have her eye move to the right corner looking at Hideki. "He looks so mean and vicious, the looks of a killer, and even better he has such good looks. Maybe ill get myself acquainted with him." Lusha even licks her fangs a bit looking at Hideki but in a different way. Its the kind of lick to her fangs that doesn't indicate thirst for his energy but rather to be friendly with him. Lusha then smiles as she drops herself from the ceiling landing down in a crouch position as well as Hideki. Lusha gets up smiling as she listens to Hideki and him inclining about having fun and feeding on Mieren. Lusha then says"Well her energy is very potent, so potent i could feed on her all night. I don't know what to do with myself if i don't have a bite with you. You sure have very potent energy there hollow lady, its so potent it makes me excited. Don't worry, you can relax i don't bite much." Lusha puts a sexy purr on it slowly working up her seducing charms wanting to bring Mieren in close to her. Lusha though secretly was examining Hideki's spirit energy as well, it wasn't as potent as Mieren's but there was something about it that was very rich. The kind of richness Lusha doesn't find in many mortals specially of her kind, Lusha though thinks about meeting with Hideki some point and talking to him. Lusha wants to see if Hideki is a very interesting fellow and by that, she means if they have killing intent like she does.
