Ruin In Rukongai (Open Training Thread)

[Rose✿]

[CTP yo]

[/font] She chuckled to herself as she puffed away more at the joint. Her pup Bacardi barked at the sound of squirrels as they traveled.

Aside from the cloak, she was dressed in a dark red flowing fabric that draped along her chest and held onto her endowed figure with thin straps of leather, leaving her back and arms exposed and barely grazing the tops of her thighs. Metal cuffs wrapped around her wrist, almost looking like shackles while bandages covered her left thigh going downwards to her shin where a brace holds together with thick straps around the calve of her leg. Her leather shorts were cut high, quite apparent as she crossed her legs. Taking a hold of the reins here and there to pull the horses in the correct direction Rose found herself much at peace, even people were starting to wake up and come out from their homes. 

She hummed along to the song that played, even coming to sing along here and there with no shaking present in her voice. "You know there ain't no rest for the wicked~ money don't go on treees, I got bills to pay, got mouths to feed, ain't nothing in this world for free."
She was getting close to the center of district 300, which seemed like a good spot to stop, much changed yet it still had that air about it she could remember. It was deep in this district that many years ago she found her pup Bacardi here, or rather her found her. [/ul]

[Chiku Unoji]

Training for CTP

It had been a long long week after the loss of her master. The destruction of the Unoji estate had not only meant the loss of the only thing she'd ever had close to a father, but a number of the girls there had been injured or worse. With the majority of those that had been underground rescued, the normal staff were all that was left. Chiku's family. But of course, with Master Unoji gone, their only source of income vanished? It hadn't taken long at all for them to be promptly shooed out of the inner districts, and with word having spread that master Unoji had more or less been trafficking women and murdering young noble women in his basement, those associated with him: the former employees of the brothel, now were shunned from the area. Even the darker areas of the rukongai drove them out, until they wound up at the outter sections. Some of which were adjacet, if not permeated by stretches of wilderness.

But... at the very least... they had stuck together. Chikusho had made sure of that. Even with Subida and Echnidae having vanished after the ordeal, Ajora, Jice, and Umi had all stuck around. As the only Guard from the old estate that wasn't dead or missing, Chiku had convinced her little group to stay together. And so far it had somewhat worked out! While Chiku had noticeably suffered from the shinigami raid on the estate, and the subsequent loss of the only man she had ever really trusted, she could not deny her instincts. Injured and blind as she was, she was still easily able to hunt and bring back a considerable ammount of food and vegetation for her little group to survive on.

And at the very least they had done that much... survive.

Avoiding most of the pre-existing structures as a means of avoiding... further incidents with the other denizens of the rukongai, Ajora and Chiku had begun work on a livingspace. Of course at first it had been little more than a big den Chiku had excavated, but after semifurnishing the hole in the ground and beginning to use some of the trees nearby to build some sort of actual structure, the place was becoming rather nice. Shitty, full of holes and with the ocassional breach in integrity aside. The biggest obstacle had been the injuries they had sustained. Havingnot been serious enough to warrant the shinigami to care for them, the few injuries they had received were beginning to fester in the poor conditions. Ariugrette had some sort of discoloration running up her arm, Umi was losing the sight in her left eye, and Chiku, worst of all, was still healing from the wound she had received in the tunnel. That long slash down the side of her chest had not been healing, and while her body seemed to be resisting infection, it was clear that her constant insistence on staying busy and active was repeatedly opening the wound, and none of the women could manage to get her to stop.

When murmur of the caravan began sweeping through the area, Chiku's group didn't receive it. The mere sight of Chiku had prevented most of their neighbors from even approaching, so when Rose's group came near, it was actually quite a surprise. And a worrying one. The last time such a big group had come through had not been to help anyone, so immediately Chiku had the girls head into the den while she headed for the ....cart? She wasn't sure what it was exactly, but in any case it didn't take long for the blind scorpion, garbed in the ratter cloak she had managed to fashion out of an old drape from the ruined estate, to move in and try to see what was going on.

[Kyomei Kuchiki]

Training for TTP

Using Post-Time Skip Kyo for this thread :)

The Kidou Corps, traditionally, was based mostly out of libraries and practice fields, but the current Kidou Corps Commander was more commonly found in the Wilderness or the outer Rukongai. There was too much risk to the Seireitei found outside its borders, such as the Ogatago base from a few years ago as well as Quincy invasion. Kyomei Kuchiki was often trolling the Willderness, searching for such threats in order to snuff them out preemptively. He was also looking for traces of ancient libraries only mentioned in Gotei 13 books... In short, he had many reasons that put him in the path of today's caravan.

He was surpised to see Rose, but very happy to see her with an expedition of food and supplies to this weary area of the Rukongai. While most souls did not need sustenance, those that could become Soul Reapers could starve and die without it. Food was harder to get out here in the 300s of districts, which is why so few Shinigami actually made it to the Academy from these outer rings. "Ho there, Rose. Good to see you all this way out here. What can I help with?" The Technique Master had a great deal of versatility in his spells and knowledge, which would easily allow him to assist in many different ways.

When Rose saw Kyomei, she might notice him looking quite a bit older. While little time had passed for the Seireitei, a few years had passed for the Kidou Corps Commander. After having been abducted by the Vandenreich and forced through rigorous torture and "games" for their amusement and research, the long years in the Dangai Realm had aged Kyomei. He was taller, brawnier, and more rugged. His hair was longer and darker, and quite a bit messier though that was mostly because he was at work rather than dressed up formally.

The Technique Master carried a long staff and covered most of his body with a thick black cloak. Shifting winds would reveal bandages across his abdomen and his entire left arm being covered in the protective fabric. It also revealed a strong bare chest with little distracting hair, but that was besides the point. The point was, the man had aged and was more than capable of being a strong assistance to Rose if she needed help with distribution or defense. And speaking of defense... As Kyomei approached the caravan, a scorpion like creature approached the caravan.

A yellow disk of Kidou would halt her progress by appearing in front of her. Kyomei's face turned up in a grimace as it felt like his abdomen had been stabbed with a kitchen knife. That may have something to do with the following tone he was about to use... "Halt. State your business, beast clanswoman. If its food you need, I'm sure that you're welcome to it. If its trouble you want, you best be on your way." A change in personality was also most evident in how he addressed Chiku. Gone was the man who expected nothing but good things and trusted people blindly. He needed Chiku to earn his trust before he let down his guard and allowed the caravan to be approached.

Remaining Reiatsu: 17,900/18,000 (-100 Enkosen)

[Rose✿]

[/font]She sung the final words of the song out loud, flicking the roach of her joint away as she wasn't one for saving them. As the captain of the 4th approached him she couldn't help but arch an eyebrow at the appearance of Kyomei. Her body tensed up with an 'Oh shit' vibe radiating from her. After all she was missing in action for quite some time, doing her own shit out of the views of others and the safety of herself... She expected some form of scolding sooner or later.

However at the same time she only gather tid bits on the events that had transpired during her absence. This being information from civilians who had to live through some wreckage. Avoiding other captains meant she was also missing the more classified info. Kyomei's friendly words caught her off guard, so she was going to roll with things as she normally would.

"Kyo!" She called out, halting the carriage to step down from the wagon. The horses were trained enough to remain in place. With her zanpakuto was strapped to her side via belt, she headed strait for Kyomei. Her pace was quickened as she closed the gap between the two, her arms coming to wrap around the male in a quick yet tight hug before stepping back. Glancing up and down her signature sly smirk formed on her lips. "You look like shit." She said sarcastically, noting how he aged more since they last saw each other in person. He seemed more rugged, covered in a mass of bandages under the thick cloak. It was clear he had seen some shit.

"I'm just here doing my thing. Figured Id scout for anyone who wants to join the academy, I know how hard it is to do that all the way out here. Buuuut I figured Id help in this wreckage... The fuck even happened?" She came to put a hand on her hip while her free hand undid the red cloak that draped around her to hold in her arm, knowing how Kyo disliked the color in general.

Before any of her questions could be answered Kyo snapped a kido into action. Turning around Rose caught witness of probably her first beast clan member up close. The actions Kyo displayed were a little odd, like he was on edge or.... something. It made Rose hesitate for a few moments as Kyo spoke roughly to the beast woman, and as he did so Rose looked closely at the woman, taking in the minor details of her frame and face beneath the cloak.

The tension seemed almost high as Kyo kept his guard up, which wasn't entirely a bad thing considering the parts of Rukongai they were in. It was riddled with gang violence and people doing what they had to get by. It wasn't exactly the safest place in the soul society. However Rose touched Kyo's arm, gazing up at him with her alluring eyes that had the color he hated.

"Ey take it easy... I think she's to hurt for a fight." She spoke in a softer tone only Kyomei could hear. A slight head nod to the side encouraged Kyo to observe the Beastwoman, how she was dirty with remnants of blood on her, a visible wound down along her chest caught Rose's attention, well the medic side of her.

In all honestly she didn't expect Kyomei to drop his guard entirely, but maybe some of the tension was lifted. With Rose giving Kyo a few pats on his chest she approached the Beast woman. Even though she stepped all nonchalant towards Chiku, Rose was armed with her zanpakuto and Kyo not far from her. "Do you have a name? How did you get that?" She asked, her eyes locked on the Beast woman's chest, which she pointed to momentarily. [/ul]

[Chiku Unoji]

Chikusho didn't really have a lot of experience with Kido. Being blind she had trouble sensing it, especially with her lack of considerable energy sensory. Or at least her... lack of experience. She had only just begun to be able to sense it, a result of the battle under the Unoji estate, but she still was getting used to using it outside of her base sense of hearing. So when that barrier was thrown up, the sensation was a tickle in her mind, she didn't think to try and focus on it, and wound up slamming straight into the barrier. Which wouldn't have been so bad if she weren't so big. When she hit it she stumbled, having neither hesitated nor slowed due to her relative blindness, and when she hit the barrier, with Kyomei's immensely high power, that barrier did not budge a single milimeter, and she promptly slammed into it, and then toppled onto her back, a loud HISS of pain escaping her.

There was a sudden crunching noise. Unlike flesh, her carapace didn't re-tear like flesh, there was a thin film of hardening chitin, the wound's attempt at healing. So instead of a spurt, there was a sick crackling noise followed by a light crunch as little bits of half-formed chitin spilled from the breach in her natural armor, followed by a light flow of blood for a brief little moment before Chiku flexed and held the wound closed, two of her six arms moving in to hold the wound as the blind woman laid on the ground for a moment.

the Shinigami's tone was not new. It didn't even bother her. She'd heard it so many times when some....less than reputable rukongai nobles, and even some shinigami had tried shaking down the place she'd worked at. But what DID astonish her was rose's tone and the lack of shrillness or fear in it. Not only this, but she approached the beastclansmen. A look of absolute surprise on the massive woman's face as she tilted her head and rapidly clicked her mandibles together, those sharp little sounds giving her a very clear picture of Rose. If she had still been a guard she would have definitely tried to get her to meet the young master. So much for that.... But what was perhaps the most.....jarring, was the question. For a while she fell silent...

Ever since the incident, her verbal skills had improved immeasurably. But even so she wasn't quite...perfect. The fact that she could speak as well as she could was solely because of the fact that she had made her pack concist entirely of non-beastclansmen. She lowered her head and sighed. "Unoji raid." she stated calmly. Unaware of the fact that it had been the omnitsukido that had taken part in the op, and that likely it was either too small of an operation for them to know about, or simply that the omnitsu probably didn't report to anyone but squad 1. Though depending on how connected either of them was to any noble families, they definitely might have heard about a spirit trafficker that had a penchant for young noble runaways being taken out of business would likely spark a little memory.

Looking down at her injury, she rolled her shoulders lightly, even despite the pain."Shinigami fixers afraid." She murmured softly. Referring to the medical staff that had been at the op. Of course they had had their hands full with the critical condition shinigami, some of which had been her own doing in her enraged state. The fact that she hadn't been executed still amazed her... Then again, it had seemed like they had bigger fish to fry. In any case she paused, eyeing Rose and for once using that spiritual sense of hers. that paired with her animal instinct, she didn't peg Rose for the combatative type.... was she a healer:? a Scout? She had no idea. She had never bothered looking into the different classes of shinigami... She probably should have. But she HAD asked if Chiku was injured...

"Not bad.... but... Others I protect. They are injured worse." She lied, instinctively. Well, not really lying. She was much tougher to kill than them. So she considered any injury of theirs to be of much more dire need of attention than her own. But it was VERY clear she didn't quite trust either of them. Especially what with Kyomei's little trick. She wouldn't be able to protect her family from his strange magic....

"Can you help?" She asked pointedly at rose and not Kyomei, namely by pointing at her and using another hand to hold up in a gesture of blocking at Kyomei, making it VERY clear whose help she was alright with having.

[Lisa Ko]

(If ya don't min will be joining too XD. Trainin' for CTP)

Noise. Too much noise. The screaming and hollering did not suite the nest well. Too much interference in the wind made the nest difficult to construct. Too much noise from the surrounding areas meant possible dangers to the nest. Too much too much. The wilderness was the best place to set up shop for a new home, or at least based on her knowledge. Lisa had been hard at work gathering the twigs and bushes to be used as building materials for the new nest. She made good use of the natural lubricants that came from her body to weave the materials together. And damn it takes a long time to really have them stick well too. That and the constant patrols that come and venture into her territory Lisa was going off and on about construction. Too much interference, too much noise. Too much noise, too much bother. Nest in danger. Home in danger. The threat is close. The threat is near.

Fluttering over to the damn noise she saw the town. She'd seen it many times during her scouting ventures. A Hive of many lights. Lots of noise, lots of banter. Before the noise was little. Some times it was loud, but never intrusive. This time, this time the noise was intrusive. Too much noise too much banter. Lisa had to investigate. Many humans running around. Many humans making noise. Hovering over the rural area of the districts the insectoid narrowed her attention to a small gathering. Wings beating at a rapid-fired rate through the makeshift tank top did the girl peer down. It wasn't her first choice in clothing, but with nothing but Shinigami wandering so close to the nest she used what fabrics they had to make something to cover herself up.

Shreds of the black coats of those Shinigami flapped wildly from the fluttering of her four silk wings. Her numerous screens peering down at the small gathering, the noise came from them. The noise threatened the Hive. Hive was in danger of the noise. Humans, Shinigami, they endangered the Hive. There were man of them. Humans and people in the black cloaks. Lisa didn't know the purpose of their gathering, but from what the commotion was all about it was probably due to the carriage that the people in black were dragging with them.

Were they going to attack the Hive? Many of their people came and threatened the Hive. They brought the noise with them. The noise hurt the Hive. And if the Hive was hurt Lisa would have no home. The people in black threatened Lisa. The Insectoid couldn't allow that. The Hive has given its answer. Beating of her wings Lisa took herself to new heights before diving down towards the crowd. Her four appendages peeled open. Arms expanding out to her sides and talons barred down. Down down down to the Shinigami below. What the woman didn't know was that there was another like herself. Another of the Beastclan like herself.

Her fangs became bare with her remaining two arms snapped from the sides of her plated back. Sharp and pointed, these arms were purposed to penetrate with their lancer-like tips. They arched beneath her opened arms, ready to pierce through the target. Legs cranked and ready to snap, Lisa snapped down towards the woman with the voluptuous figure. The only one who had the body type eaaily to get a grip on the shortest distance from herself. With a raged induce hiss from the vibrations of her inner jaw the hornet came down to swoop the woman into the air.

[Kyomei Kuchiki]

Kyomei's help was unwanted by the Beast Clanswoman, and that was fine. He had to respond to Rose's questions and comments anyways. "I'd say that I've been through hell the last few years, but that'd be an understatement. I know what Hell truly feels like... And as for what happened here... Takashi happened. I wasn't at the thick of it, but apparently with the help of the Espada he stole the walls of the Seireitei and caused chaos out here." He hoped that his explanation was precise and concise enough. As much as Rose was a crucial niche that was needed in the Soul Society, he couldn't help that her voice brought back awful memories.

Her taking off her red cloak, however, was a motion that was highly significant to the Kuchiki. While it was the lighter shades of red, namely pink, that caused his PTSD-esque memories to emerge. Flashes of the horrors against the Ogatago and of the King of Hell ran through his mind before filtering out away and leaving him alone for now. He didn't particularly mind that Chiku hadn't wanted his help, he figured he'd just guard the caravan and practice some of his coping strategies for the pain and the memories.

Kyo shood away Rose, letting her know that he'd be ok. "I'll keep the caravan safe if you want to tend to the wounded. Flare your reiatsu if I'm needed." He jumped onto the top of the caravan, performing a flip and landing cross legged with his hands on his knees. He had barely a chance to let his Aura come out before it was needed. Moving quickly, another member of the Beast Clan came within range of his average Energy Sensory, this one headed straight for the caravan. More specifically, headed straight for Rose. Completely unacceptable, given the caravan was of peace and not hostilities.

Not having enough time to move in respose to Lisa's attack, the Kuchiki was content to fire a Byakurai at Lisa. The lightning bolt originated at his head, but was a... big bigger than a normal bolt. It had been augmented with the Kuchiki Magic Hana: Occupance Eater. While it only had a third of its power, it was four times bigger than normal, so it could easily punch through its target if she didn't adjust her course. It wasn't aimed to kill Lisa, but rather was aimed to get her to dodge away from Rose.

Class: [4]

Technique Type: [Kido]

Usable By: [Kuchiki Family]

Technique Element: [N/A]

Technique Description and Effects: [Insert Below]

O-Eater for short. This is to be cast after the initial Kido has been cast. It causes said Kido to do one of two things. It either expands to QUADRUPLE in size, or it retracts and becomes the size of a marble. If it quadruples in size, its offensive power goes down to 1/3. But if it becomes marble sized, its offensive power increases by 3x.

How to use technique: [Insert Below]

This must be activated for 150 reiatsu after the initial technique has already been cast.

Technique Drawbacks (Insert Below)

Reiatsu cost and stamina drain.

Reserved?: [Kuchiki Family only]

Technique Name: [Aura Call]

Class: [8-1] (Costs 250 TTP per stage)

Technique Type (Kido, Hollow/Arrancar Technique, Human World Dweller Technique, Other): [Other]

Usable By (Technique is available to which races?): [Shinigami, Arrancar, Quincy (TM Races)]

Technique Element: [Varies]

Technique Description and Effects (Explain appearance, powers, and effect): [Insert Below]

Techniques have very simplistic souls that are focused on one aspect. A Shakkaho's essence is to explode in fire. Living beings are much more complex. Kyomei has learned to not only harness the essence of techniques, but to harness his own essence. His own aura. This technique can be released at any class. This technique simply brings out Kyomei's Primal Aura. He appears to glow with a white light emerging from his body about an inch in size. The Primal Aura has one effect. It allows Kyomei to attempt to redirect spiritual techniques with his body. He can punch a Cero, kick a Shakkaho like a soccer ball, catch a Quincy arrow and throw it back, etc. This Aura has no effect on physical techniques, like Hakuda attacks. Just reiatsu-based techniques such as all Kidou, Cero, Ginto, etc.

If he has 2x more offensive power than the technique, he redirects it with no harm to himself and can absorb the elemental aura from the technique. If he does not have the 2x offensive power, he can still absorb the elemental aura, however he takes full situational damage from the technique then he suffers a jolt of pain as if he just used a technique of the class of the technique he just struck. Against techniques of 1-2 classes higher than his Aura, Kyomei would need 3x superiority to resist it. Against 3 classes higher, he cannot even absorb the elemental aura. If he has 2 or more Class superiority over the technique, he only needs simple superiority to deflect it and absorb from it. Cannot effect or absorb from Class 0 techniques at all.

The Primal Aura has a per post upkeep of the standard class cost per each post. He can fluctuate between Classes at will, but pays both costs on a post that he switches. Meaning, if he is maintaining the aura at Class 6 but needs to spike it to 2, that post he will pay 650 reiatsu and on the post that he downgrades to not suffer so much pain he also pays 650 reiatsu.

The elemental effects are equivalent to the Aural Pull technique's effects. Meaning, with a Water Aura Kyomei could extinguish fires with his whole body and with a Metal Aura he could cut into/through things with his blunt physical attacks. ((If you want me to make a list instead of making it situational, I'd be happy to. Just trying to make it more freeform instead of so rigid))

How to use technique (How is it activated?): [Insert Below]

First, stimulate the inner aura of the soul to exude a Primal Aura.

Technique Drawbacks (Limitations, repercussions for use, etc) (Insert Below)

Constant Reiatsu cost and TM pain. Has either a low class for Clash purposes or a significant per post reiatsu cost. Additionally, requires a fair superiority to not suffer for punching a raw attack. Requires a 3 in some sort of reiatsu study (Kidou, Cero, etc.) as well as being a Technique Master.

(Its all good, sorry im taking forever and a day here. x.x')

[/i] being.

The medic couldn't help but think about her personal research, and how she'd like to figure out how beast clansmen's bodies tick. Rose always was a curious one, and the words 'Unogi raid' made her even more curious (She'd have to ask about that one) as she got closer to the creature, hesitating when it spoke how shinigami fixers were afraid. She could understand that, this creature was rather intimidating, irking even Rose while most of her division was comprised of little bitches or people who's area of expertise were not in combat, which was why Rose was captain as she provided protection to those in the division who can't fend for themselves. She was up close to see that the wound was on the verge of infection if it wasn't already. The presence of dirt and foreign objects prevented it from properly healing over, and an infection would most likely weaken her slowly but painfully.

The creature pointed up to her, asking for her help even though she didnt know a thing about Rose, she didn't come off across as a healer compared to other members within her division, which meant this being could be desperate. Rose could even bet money that a zanpakuto was the cause for that paticular wound, so why should this beast clan trust another shinigami? Wait what was the shinigami stand point on Beast clan members again?

"Take me to where they are hiding." She ordered with a firm tone in her voice, holding an authoritative demeanor to herself as the captain within her tried to shine through the unsettling feeling within her gut. "But first..." The blonde woman's words trailed off as she held out her hands in front of her, swirling them around ever so slowly as if there was an invisible ball between her palms. A light began to take shape, bright and with a slight green hue to it. "Lets fix you up." She cleared her throat, a slight flare in her reiatsu was her form of a non-verbal signal to Kyo that she was doing her thing, and would be at a more vulnerable position.

Rose would come to kneel if the beast clan woman didn't stand, Rose's bloodshot eyes locked onto injured the beast clan woman's wound; gauging the damage done. Pouring more of her reiatsu into the palms of her hand caused the orb to grow bigger, and it was enough to mend a wound deeper then she guessed, enough to mend broken bones even to be on the safer side. Dropping her left hand Rose held the shining orb in only her right palm, she exhaled deeply. That was only step one.

Slowly yet surely, Rose began to press the orb into the laceration itself. Her hand not touching the body of the beast clan woman, however bit by bit the orb was being absorbed, or rather pushed, deeper into the carapace. As the reaitsu poured into the wound it began to close. One could watch the wound repair itself as more and more of the orb disapeared, three quarters of it almost gone now.

At this moment her clouded mind had picked up on the similar, rapidly aproaching reiatsu signature that was being acompanied by a growing hiss. Normally the shinigami woman was more keen on sensing a person's energy, but being high and well, clearly occupied, had made her slow it seemed. Perhaps Rose wasn't as sharp as she use to be.

Luckily for Rose, Kyo was on the case before she was. The shinigami woman had looked up to see without a doubt... A very very big bug.... The Captain was still unsure about what kind of beast she just healed even though Chiku had many insect like similarities, but this new one. Oh boy, without a doubt THAT was a big ol bug. Like shit from her nightmares, bugs with tits!

The sound that had left Rose's mouth was something that wasn't befitting for someone trying to have a strong disposition. With the kido being fired overhead at the giant wasp woman Rose's concentration was certainly broken. The kido was interrupted, the infection in Chiku killed off but the wound itself was about three quarters healed, which left Chiku healed enough to carry on with only some soreness to her. With reflexes taking over upon sight of the very large wasp, Rose had instantly fluctuated her spiritual pressure; the gravitational pressure had increased around her.

Rose had sprung up, squealing and quite frankly, freaking out as as her feet were tapping abouts rapidly in the dirt as she paced about, back and forth, side to side and even in a circle; abandoning ship and getting closer to Kyo and away from the wasp if she landed, wanting him to 'save' her. "Nope nope nope nope!" Were the only sensible words that escaped her lips as she flapped her hands about. The color had drained from her face as the gravitational pressure increased, almost to a crushing level as she tried to collect herself. "I caaaaaaan't!" The woman almost had tears in her eyes; she really didn't expect to look up to see that! With deep breaths the pressure was being lifted bit by bit. Rose's freak out had probably confused Chiku, first she had healed her then almost crushed her with an invisible force! Rose dun gun fucked up

[Chiku Unoji]

Almost immediately Chiku felt... calm. Eyeing Rose as the rather gorgeous shinigami worked on her, gently clicking her mandibles now and then. she was, after all, blind. But she could see. She could hear the sound bouncing off the woman's body. She could see QUITE a lot of the Captain actually. she could hear how sound molded around her, and how even underneath clothing, some little tidbits of sound managed to escape, giving her a glimpse that those constrained by line of sight wouldn't get. Not to mention Rose's smell. Boy could Chiku smell! A few little sniffs was all she got, but with how Rose was so close it did tell her a lot. Especially when Rose started to freak out, and the smells associated with fear that any animal recognized hit her faceparts.

And then she was hit with a WHOMP. Holy FUCK that hurt! Even though her injury had mostly been dealt with. The infection and a good ammount of the wound had closed up. But when that bug arrived, Rose's spiritual pressure had gone with it, and suddenly WHUMP. She was almost floored with that massive stunning blow, her eyes a little wide as she writhed on the ground, trying her best to adjust to that sudden kick to her body. Wow that had hurt. and she could feel fresh blood in her reduced wound. But she wasn't going to let it bother her just then. Noooooo, she was more concerned with the fact that this gorgeous woman, who she totally was considering setting up with one of the boys she looked after, was VERY afraid. It was only an instant as suddenly, Chiku, for all of her massive weight and size, moved with rather incredible speed, placing herself between Rose and the new arrival.

Almost immediately, she gently whistled. It was a nice, soft, slow whistle, to catch Rose's attention and try to calm her down. The giant of a scorpion smiled, her mandibles folding into the inside of her cheeks and out of sight, making ehr face a bit more human looking as she offered a light smile, even if behind her, that massive stinger of hers was arched in the bug's direction, warning them from approaching the Captain as Chiku tried to console her, completely ingoring her now-bleeding wound. It was simply in her nature to look after Rose first. After all, she did so remind Chiku of the people she looked after.

[Lisa Ko]

Bbzzzztttt She came down and came down hard onto the position. Claws ready and waitin', dropping down from the air down towards the Shinigami woman. The noise was real, the noise was close. Her ears were plagued with the damn noise. Each tiny hair that lay scattered across the surface of her body quivered with relentless squirming as she drew closer to the caravan. With a group such as this, certainly the noise came from them. At least that was the idea anyhow. The woman would be first of the many. Why? Maybe it was due that she was more closer to the Beast woman, or perhaps her proportions made it easier to keep hold of when handling her. Nonetheless, she would be the first.

The air circulated around her body as she went into a nose dive into the group. All fared well in her perspective, at least until her hairs stiffened and jerked away from her body. Something was wrong. Something about the air was wrong. It felt more crisp than usual. Foreign and faint on her unnatural sensory ability. Though dim as they were it remained present. Strange, she only felt such a thing when the Shinigami were around, but this time it was more noticeable. Clearly shown that something was emerging. But from where? Two signatures arose. From she was able to see through her many lenses a soft hue came from the woman.

It was the first of the two, and it appeared that it was doing something with another person. She didn't know, she had to come closer. But before even that the other came. This one was clear as the day itself, and more luring to say the least. So tantalizing... so pretty. A light that called to her like no other. The Shinigami knew it as Byakurai, but to Lisa, she saw it more as a light from heaven. All those bubbly and warm feelings came back to her. She felt calm and wooed over by it. She couldn't explain it. It's like a warm fuzzy daydream that you couldn't wake up from. It caused every nerve and thought to flaunt to the light. It drew closer, and all Lisa wanted to do was embrace it with her entire body.

Wait. Closer? Light don't do that sort of shit. Oh shit. OH SHIT! That was no random heavenly light at all. That was a mobile zapper flying right at her. A brief shift in her body weight caused her body to lean right, adjusting her flight course away from its current target. And just in the nick of time to barrel herself away from the zooming light. Barely was the keyword. The Insectoid felt the rush of lighting that surged past her body. Her hairs told how hot the spell was. Not exactly how hot itself, but hot enough that it could have killed her. This included on how big it was too. Both factors applying shot at the Beastclan woman brought enough force to really have the girl barrel. Out of control to be exact.

If this were a cartoon then her cycle down to the ground would sound much like an airplane falling due to engine failure. Around and around she went wondering what the hell was going on. Both claws and legs swinging at an enemy that she couldn't see, nor track. Like the whole world was constantly flipped on all axis with no means of stopping. If she were not use to such a dilemma then she would have lost her lunch in no time at all. The flutter didn't stop. Beating fiercely in nearly all directions Lisa didn't know which way to direct herself. At least not until she saw a spinning floor that seemed to have been drawing closer. When she finally took notice she pushed up, and she did so hard.

Her falling rate ceased when she got a hold of her bearings. The world didn't seemed to be spinning as much anymore. That was a good sign. She hoped to continue her pursuit of the noise, yet, she couldn't. Just as soon as she was relieved to be flying straight again yet another issue came down and smashed down on her. Like a swatter it pushed against her exoskeleton. It pressed down on her so hard that despite the various series of fluttering her wings did made no change in her situation. Her body had put on few pounds. And before she knew it, she was pinned to the dirt floor beneath her.

"Aaaagghhhhh" She couldn't even hear her own voice. The little noise that she could make blurred in the vibrating rhythm of the gravitational pull from the female Captain. The noise was different. Not like before. This noise cried out in a different wave length than the others. Why? Was it the same one from before? She couldn't tell for certain. Thus she clawed. Snapping away at any object that attempted to get close to her. She had been trapped, trapped in place by something that she couldn't see but only feel. Dust and dirt scattered around her midst as she was completely out of her element. Frustration came easily for someone like her, for a soldier unable to fight against an enemy she couldn't see. So she hissed within the depths of her mouth as she cried out, "The noise. . . . The noise. The noise endangers the hive. The hive."

[Kyomei Kuchiki]

OOC: Rose is letting me add in some plot for us. Let the joint training begin! Feel free to defeat whatever and to bring in whatever is reasonable, guys. Let's have some fun getting our characters familiar with the others.

The hornet beast clanswoman dodged the extra large Byakurai, which was good of her. If she hadn't, well... she'd probably be dead. The power was leagues above her own, and the technique was even of a class superior to her. It could have been very dangerous to have been hit by such an attack, but even as she moved towards it for a moment, she did eventually turn aside. She had some semblance of intelligence, after all. It was still unwise and suicidal to attack two Captain class figures without a great deal of power. Power that Lisa did not yet have. She could eventually grow to the point where she could challenge a Captain, but two? Would take a great deal of skill.

While the Kidou Corps Commander had been defending the caravan, Rose went to heal Chiku. The scorpion received some healing from the Squad 4 Captain while Kyomei continued to track the out of control hornet. But when Rose caught sight of the flying beast clanswoman, she freaked out. The Kuchiki could feel something bad coming on, but he couldn't do anything to stop it. Rose flung most everything down with her gravitational pressure. Lisa plummetted to the ground, yes, but the Captain flattened most of the people she was trying to save in the Rukongai.

However, there were some who were left standing. Rose had held back so no one was killed, but some were standing just fine in the onslaught. "We'll be taking those supplies now." Four men with facial scars and home made shanks were standing up on the side of the road, eyeing the caravan hungrily. They looked starved and were not about to share with any other members of the district. They wanted it all for themselves, and they looked strong enough to take it. That is, if two beast clanswomen and two captains weren't right there.

It wasn't known yet what side Lisa was going to be on, but Kyomei thought her to be safely out of the way for now. He kept his energy sensory off in the direction that she had fallen to the ground while also paying attention to the men trying to steal the food. "I don't think it best for you to try. If you continue to advance towards this caravan with hostile intent, I will have to restrain you." The men chuckled at the noble's words, confident in their own strength. They didn't have Zanpakutou nor Kidou, but they were survivors who would do anything for a meal...

OOC: I'll stat one of them for Kyo to fight against and the rest of us can create one to fight as well.

One of the men jumped up onto the caravan, brandishing a club that was little more than a worn branch and a makeshift dagger
that was little more than a shard of metal with a rag to hold onto. The Kuchiki was prepared for an easy victory that wouldn't require any use of his power, but the man ran fowards at decent speed. Quite a bit faster than the Commander could come up with if he was in a dead sprint. The noble got to his feet and swung his staff out to catch the thug in the chin, but the staff was battered away by insane physical strength.

Using his acrobatic skills to contort his body, Kyomei had to bend all the way backwards to dodge the swipe from the dagger, then spin to the side to avoid the club that struck the caravan hard. That wouldn't do. Firing a Sho mentally, the Kuchiki hit the thug square in the chest and lifted him up and away from the food and medicine with the powerful force of the blast. At least the pain of the low level technique would be less than that of the pain of being cut in the face by such a strong opponent... "Hey. Rose! Focus! You'll kill everyone here if you're not careful with your pressure. We'll have to take them on one on one if we want to eliminate casualties!"
