A "visit" to Squad 10 (Social, Celes)

[Eleonora Schmidt]

Eleonora had no idea on what problem she got herself this time and the worst part is that it was 100% avoidable, fighting the Shinigami without being threat first or anything was dumb in hindsight, but now she has to deal with the consequences of her actions as Wynne put the blonde on her shoulder and open a door to Soul Society.

There was an air of uncertainty as the Shinigamy carry the Quincy around, she didn't know their destinations or what would they do to her once they reach it, the only thing she was certain was that being a Quincy in Soul Society spelled trouble, she was literally being carried to the heart of the enemy territory, well one of the enemies considering that it seems almost everyone hates the free Quincy.

After a long walk the Shinigami finally dropped her in a room and then leave, just like that, she didn't try to restrain her or anything which was weird, big mistake because seconds after she left Eleonora would start kicking the door and screaming only to immediately stop and cover her mouth as soon as she remembered where she was, probably not the smartest make a scene when other soul reapers might be around.

"Damm, now what? If I stay here I'm in danger, if I leave I'm in danger, there's no winning here!" It was frustrating to say the least, but there was still one option that might help her out and it was to just cooperate with whatever they ask, maybe if she remains calm and doesn't fight they'll let her go?

[Celes Shindazu]

Today was going to be a long day... It had become quickly apparent to Celes as she saw the stack of paperwork that rested on her desk. Most of it happened to be the usual. New trainees from Squad assignments, delegation of tasks from her duty roster, recent Hollow sightings in the Rukongai... the list just never seemed to end. Most of her Division was either out on patrol or outside training so she'd finally have a good chunk of the day to herself. She cracked her knuckles for a moment and rose to her feet shortly afterwards. Walking over to a set of shelves, cupboards and glass case displays, the green-haired Shinigami poured herself a cup of coffee. This was going to take a while after all.

Several hours passed. The stack of papers slowly moved from one pile to another as Celes organized them by subject along the way. By now she had hit her Squads' annual evaluations. She had to admit that it was a largely dry process. Barring a few exceptions, there was very little negative she had to say about the members of her division. Some overslept now and again... Others had gotten into petty arguments and escalated the situation... All typical things that she expected of the less experienced members of her division. As she began finishing up, she came across one members' file who already left Celes raising an eyebrow. The label read, in big bold letters, Wynne Kuchiki.

Upon seeing the name pop up, Celes let out a sigh. Wynne was an interesting case. She had met her some time ago for the first time. She seemed like a sheltered girl who simply wanted to try her best. She aimed to move away from the prim and proper expectations that were forced upon her by her parents. During a training exercise between the Tenth and Eleventh Division, she had shown herself capable. She had a bit of a violent streak indicated by repeatedly firing Byakurai at her fellow officers. Regardless, she was punctual, and Celes felt that she had everyone's best interests at heart. That was up until nearly a month ago when she suddenly went missing.

Celes had done her best to track down the officer of her Division, but she wasn't really able to make heads or tails of what happened to her. Much less where she had even gone. She had been declared missing for the time being. At least that was the case up until a week ago. Wynne had shown up before the Tenth Division although she was... changed. Monstrously taller, an almost sickly pale skin tone and a radical shift in ability and personality. The officer had confided in her that she went with Camila, a known rogue Shinigami, to Hueco Mundo. After fearing Camila to be dead, she returned to Soul Society as if nothing had happened.

The Captain stared at the performance review for a moment. Then a dozen would pass. Suddenly an entire minute. She set her pen down and took a sip of her coffee. She began to mutter to herself. "What the hell am I supposed to say...? She's went missing for weeks... underwent some kind of a transformation... and was clearly withholding information. For all intents and purposes, I should have her detained and questioned further, but..." She paused for a moment as she bit her lip. Her voice grew far more solemn. "Can I really afford another Cami situation?" She tapped her fingers on the arm of her chair, mulling some things over.

Wynne and Celes were not on the best of terms. The officer had questioned Celes' friendship with Camila after all. The Captain, at the time a Lieutenant, had told Soul Society that she was overpowered by the rogue Shinigami. In truth? Celes had let Camila go without a fight. She did not dare raise her weapon against a friend. When Celes was sent down to ideally assassinate Camila, she had tried to find a peaceful solution. When that fell through, she could not bring herself to go all out against her friend. She had known Camila for years. By comparison, Wynne had met her once and suddenly believed that she knew better than Celes? Declaring that the Captain had no loyalty for her friend. It was enough to make Celes grow rabid. 

She found herself clearly upset. For a moment, Celes just rubbed her temple. She needed to calm down. Rising from her seat, the Captain shifted towards the doors to her office. Grabbing her twin Zanpakutō, Celes fastened them along her obi. With a gentle push, she'd open the doors and begin walking through the halls of the Tenth Division. Many of her officers would still be out training. The others would likely be holed up in their rooms, resting. This gave Celes plenty of time to peruse the halls of her barracks. She needed to move her mind off of Wynne. She needed to calm herself down. Perhaps stretching her legs accomplish that. What could possibly go wrong?

[Eleonora Schmidt]

Eleonora stood on the room and waited patiently until either the Shinigami that brought her here or someone else came to try and appeal her case and be free, but as time passed the frustration on the blonde grow stronger and decided to stop just lying around in the room, if she wanted to be free might as well give it a try herself after all there was nothing assuring her that they would hear her, besides her being rather weak could help her pass unnoticed as long as the shinigamis in the barracks weren't that good at energy sensing.

With all that in mind the blonde took a deep breath and slowly move open the door of the room and took a peek to the corridor, at first glance no one was around so it meant she was OK to move, Eleonora would keep her body down and walk while crouching trying to make as little noise as possible, once close to the next corner she would hug the wall and peek to the other side before moving.

On the one hand it seem the barracks were empty today so the blonde had almost complete freedom to move around, on the other she had no idea where she was going or if she was walking in circles, it still beats sitting and doing nothing and besides this also gave her a feeling of Soul Society, it definitely didn't felt like the world of the living, if she had to put it into words it was as if there was a higher amount of reishi than on her world, it feels like if she had a bow she could create and shoot arrows with more ease.

"Too bad I'm planing to leave, I feel I would have an easier time training here" She thought for herself, then again "leaving" was a stretch, she had no idea how to return to the world of the living, but for now she was content with simply getting out of the barracks, she would think her next step once she manages to step outside.
