Made It to Squad 11! {Social, Squad 11}

[Shawn Rabuburēdo]

"I did it"! Those words couldn't have come out of Shawn's mouth any louder and with more excitment. "I made it through the Academy"! Not caring how many wierd looks he got, Shawn continued his happy screaming until he noticed how long he's been standing outside of the academy gate. "OH CRAP, I'm gonna be late", turning around after only 20 feet he said his last goodbye's to the palce that got him further to his Goal's before taking of as fast as he could.



Not being the fastest shinigami sure has it's downsides, today that was not gonna hold Shawn back. I wonder what the captain is going to be like in squad 11? How are the other member's going to act? Ton's of questions flooded his brain but all that he knew is if he didn't make it in time he would have a harder time finding out. Almost there!  Speeding up as fast as he could he raced past turn after turn until finally the last corner came.


Rounding the last corner filled his view with the squad 11 barrack's, although it wasn't much to look at, it caused Shawn to nearly burst with glee. *I made it! Let's just hope they didn't start without me* Slipping into the barrack's was easy with the new squad 11 badge he carried, Actually being in the barrack's unnoticed was hard however as the welcoming "ceremony" had already began shortly before he entered. Here we go were his final thoughts as he moved into place with the other new members.

Shawn would be able to notice some oddities as he moved about Squad 11's barracks. For one, it seemed that a lot of the Squad 11 folks were unusually cautious as they moved around, particularly when it came to opening doors. Secondly, more than a few of them seemed disheveled and messy. There were even signs of some small scrapes, and bruises on them. Twitchiness seemed to be the norm among almost everyone present. A few of the other fresh recruits seemed nervous upon seeing these sights.

Eventually, someone would walk up next to Shawn. They were a shorter man, clearly nervous about how things were here around here. He would saunter up next to the new Shinigami.

"H-h-hey there," the man said, stuttering heavily. "You one of the new guys too? I'm running a bit late, and I'm lost, and this place seems scary.... Do you know where the meeting with the Captain is?"

[Shawn Rabuburēdo]

While moving around Shawn doesn't notice anything out of the ordinary, just a lot of member's that he could get to know. This excited him while furthering his intention to get stronger to protect them. Feeling the potential this squad can help him with spurred him on to love the squad he is now apart of. Time to look around i guess was his thought as he began to move.



After a little time passes someone a good amount shorter then him walks up to him. Shawn responds to his greeting "H-Hi" and nods while listening to his question. "I-I'm also new to this squad so i have no idea where the place is we're supposed to meet the captain".



"May-Maybe we should ask someone?" Meekly asking while he grasps the cross on his necklace, "Otherwise we could just walk around and hope we stumble into the place?" Not knowing who this person is he finally builds the nerves to ask "I'm Shawn, Whats your Name?" Hopefully this guys nice Went through his mind as the man standing across from him responded.

"R-r-right..." the other Shinigami said nervously. "I think you're onto something with the wandering around idea. Why don't you lead the way, so I can keep an eye out on everything that's going on around us?" With that said, he would shift nervously in place for a moment before speaking again.

"A-a-and my name's Thomas," he said, gulping heavily. "It's nice to meet you too Shawn. So, uh... Is there anything you can tell me about yourself at all, while we're walking about? Maybe it'll make us both feel a little better to talk while we're looking for our place to go?"

[Shawn Rabuburēdo]

“Thomas..... does that mean you originated from the human world in the U.K or the U.S?” as Shawn asked, all he could think of was his family. The pain of not being able to protect his brother and sister still haunts him to this day, but he must push on if he intends to grow stronger to protect those in the future.



“O-OK, I can try leading the way”, as he spoke he started to move forward through the halls, ”It’s nice to meet you Thomas”. The longer he spoke the more confidence filled him, “Let’s see, something about myself”, Pausing for a moment he pondered on the question. “The reason behind my decision to join squad 11 was driven by two reason, one was losing my siblings in life due to my lack of power, ever since i have devoted myself to training, searching for them in the Soul Society, and following my faith in God to do the right things” he began to say as he continued moving.



Most Sinigami would look twice at the fact he is still a strong believer in Christianity, especially as a fundamental Christian to boot. It did take him months to come to terms with how the Soul Society and Soul Cycle work, but through determination he pieced together what he believed to be how everything worked in God's plan. “Of course me following my faith is the second reason I chose squad 11, after all it lets me purify hollows giving them a second chance to be saved and make it to heaven, it also lets me destroy all those who oppose God’s wishes and do evil. Sending those who escape from hell back is just a perk.” While he is talking Thomas would notice a scar on his face that goes from the tip of his lip on the right side back about an inch towards his ear.



Soon, after Shawn was telling Thomas about himself, they reach an area that seems split off from the rest, it doesn’t have large rooms with multiple beds in each, no, this area seems to have more average sized rooms with what looked like desks, beds, and miscellaneous stuff in each one. This must be where the Captain and Vice captain’s rooms are. “Should we knock on one of the door’s to see where we are supposed to go?” he ask’s questionably to his new found comrade.

[Francis Grin]

"O-o-oh," Thomas said, stammering. He would continue walking along with Shawn, his entire manner awkward and halting. "I'm from the United States originally. A-a-and it's nice to meet you too." Aside from that, the man would remain quiet, simply listening to the new recruit speak as they proceeded. At least until the mention of faith. Thomas would grimace at that one for a fraction of a second before returning to his normal expression.

It was at this point that the two would arrive at the Captain's office. Thomas would pause outside for a moment, letting Shawn speak his mind.

"I think we just go in?" Thomas said after a long bit of hesitation. "After you?"[/color}

[Shawn Rabuburēdo]

Listening to Thomas’s advice, Shawn proceeds to slowly open the door to what he presumes to be the captain's Quarters. “H-H-Hello, I am a new re-recruit” he barely manages to get out as his heart feels as if it is trying to escape his chest, “I-Is this where we were supposed to come?” I really hope this goes well was his last thought before the door fully opened.



The door finally opened to reveal an empty room, this confused Shawn as he doesn’t remember seeing anyone who acted as a captain. “I-I don’t know where to go now, do you have any suggestion?”
After asking that question he tried to piece together where the captain could have been, maybe out on a mission? Either way all he could do at the moment was listen to his comrade and make a decision.

[Francis Grin]

As Shawn began to open the door, Thomas would take a rather large step towards the left. Why he had done so was immediately apparent, as Shawn was lifted off his feet by the air cannon that was set up on the inside of the Captain's quarters. What's more, it seemed that it had also been loaded up with various bits of gristle, fat, and other partially rotten leftovers, leaving the poor rookie just absolutely coated with the stuff as he soared through the air. Eventually, he would land a few feet away. Shawn would have a few moments to process what had just happened before Thomas walked over.

"You alright there man?" the other man said, his tone worried. "Man, looks like we're gonna need to be more careful!"

[Shawn Rabuburēdo]

Shawn manages to get out “I-Is this where w-” before the door opens enough to allow an air cannon to blast him off his feet by rotten garbage and the like just to land a few feet away. He then hears Thomas ask if he’s ok and that they should be careful. Other than a slightly sprained right ankle and barely bruised chest Shawn doesn’t seem that hurt. Taking a couple of minutes he finally realized he’s sitting in garbage, “W-W-Why?” seemed to leave his lips without really thinking.



Shaking his head precedes to get up and brush what he can off of him, “I'm fine but is there anybody in the room?” he asks Thomas without really looking up. Who would set that up was the lone thought that floated in his head wondering if it was the captain or someone trying to prank the captain. Waiting for Thomas to answer he begins picking some rotten food out of his hair.
