is the corner stone of being lazy

1.) Rukongai a vast expanse of districts housing the billions of souls that have passed away , said to be glorious paradise despite the rotting underbelly of the further out districts under their jurisdiction but what did that truly matter now? who truly cares when they become a motionless corpse.

2.) It had all been layed to waste , the corpses piled in mass graves and burned. What little remained three months after the hellion invasion was slowly being repaired by the reserve forces of sierite. And soon they would recieve and unexpected guest a curious one at that , with so many sensor's destroyed in the conflict he would appear almost unannounced.

3.) Time itself seemed to pause as the sky itself seemed to lurch and warp as is straining to hold itself together , with a loud warbling tear the sky would be rended open by a massive kumon. Although nothing seemed to come out a small swarm of sizeable hollows would gather at the opening abbandoning thier efforts of picking off survivors.

4.) A yawn would emenate from marik's mouth as he made his way through the garganta , oh how he relishe dthe days when he could hitch a ride in his hummingbird form , he would lightly wince as neared the exit as sunlight flooded into that godless void he used for travel.

5.) Sensing the hollows on the other side he would withdraw his hands from his pockets and form hair thin strands of reishi , twirling them at his side. Upon reaching the end of the kumon he would swipe his arms at the rather impressive hoard , all ten threads gliding through each hollows with guided precion at 3,000 speed.

6.) He would raise his arm shielding his eyes as he stepped out the kumon , taking in his surroundings trying to get a good eye full and to say the least he wasn't impressed. "i thought this was supposed to be heaven...looks like satan took a shit on it" he would say with a sad sigh

[Shawn Rabuburēdo]

Life in the Soul Society was more chaotic thanks to the Hell invasion, but things were slowly returning to normal (or at least as normal as it could). Shawn has heard that bodies of plus', Shinigami, and Hellions alike were being put in piles in the Rukongai. By his understanding the farther back you go into the Rukongai the less buildings, mostly due to them being demolished in the invasion. At the same time though, he knew that wouldn't stop those that lived out there to come back and continue their struggle. He had plans to help them, but that would take time.



On that note something else was eating at Shawn, was either of his siblings there? Were they part of the piles or maybe one of those returning to continue their lives in the less destroyed Rukon districts? He had to find out, so he spent a good deal of time quickly finishing what needed to be done for the day before finally stepping out of his new office. Honestly, he might as well try out the Enhanced Senkimon he learned after joining Squad 13.



Thus Shawn unsheathed his Zanpakuto before stabbing slowly in front of himself, sure enough his Zanpakuto slipped into what could only be described as an invisible lock. Twisting his Zanpakuto while envisioning where he wanted to go a Senkimon appeared and opened. Keeping his destination in his mind Shawn walked through the Senkimon and into the Dangai, at which point he would walk a short distance before another Senkimon came into sight.



Once he arrived at this second Senkimon Shawn would open it and step out, sure enough the sight of the Rukongai would greet his eyes. All of the destruction and piles of bodies littered around. The strange thing was, almost nobody was around, maybe the still living residents found a safer place to stay until repairs were made? The weirdest part was one of the people who were in sight, a man standing among the rubble with his arms shielding his eyes from the sun while the space behind him finished coming back together. Is that an Arrancar? Why here and now? Speaking up Shawn would ask a simple question, "What brings you to these parts stranger?"

Inovation

is the corner stone of being lazy

It opens doors to make life easier

1.) Marik would stiffen slightly as heard the voice of a male nearby , being taken aback as he had intentionally blocked out his senses as he didn't wish to be pinged by every fucking soul reaper that just showed up in his vicinity not like they'd do much he was just looking.

2.)  "ah well to be honest , i've been looking for heaven since i died back in the feudal era and at this point i feel like i dodged a bullet" he would say in response as he shrugged his shoulders. Slowly making his way twoard siereite or well a destroyed section of wall not intent on going inside but curious as to why the hell heaven has a gated community.

3.) "so sir? kid? man? shinigami??....why does heaven have a gated community?" he would ask in complete and total aww as he walked twoard the massive seki seki construct. "even in death rich jerks are still rich this fucking blows" he would sigh out as he placed a hand on the seki seki wall.

4.) He would immedeatly recoil as he suddenly felt his spirtual pressure being sapped , "..w..why...the fuck.." he would now look at shawn with a bit of confusion and concern in his face. "did your fence just try and eat me?" he asked in complete honesty as he was very ignorant of the goings on of soul society.

[Shawn Rabuburēdo]

The Arrancar would give a pretty simple answer to Shawn's question, apparently he wanted to see heaven. Due to the state the Soul Society was in currently, he wasn't surprised this visitor considered himself lucky not to be living here currently. "Well, you did decide to visit after a massive invasion from Hell. We're still trying to put things back together, though that'll take time." It was true, the way Soul Society is right now will take quite some time to fix.



The strange Arrancar began speaking again, asking Shawn something about why there's a gated society here. He believed for some reason only the rich live inside the Seireitei, although this man was talking as if he's never looked into Soul Society before. "I mean, yes some of the richer nobles live inside these walls, but they take up only a minority of the populace in there. The inside of these walls holds the Gotei 13, in other words the inside is a fort while the outside is the civilians."



Following this quick chat Marik would walk up to the Seki Seki walls, placing a hand on it before jumping backwards as if it were a rabid animal. Shawn would be asked yet another question, though this one was funny. Apparently he believes the wall was trying to eat him, Shawn couldn't help but let out a slight chuckle. "No, it's made out of Seki Seki, a type of mineral that absorbs and disperses reiatsu. So when you touched it, some of your reiatsu was drained into the wall. It helps keep everyone inside the walls safe, meaning officers can be sent out at full potential to defend Soul Society." As he spoke a smile would be present on his face.



Shawn would then drop the smile, "The problem is, no matter how strong and healthy your army is, when there's too many enemies something is going to be damaged. In this case it was the Rukongai. Sure we managed to evacuate and protect many of those that call this place home, but casualties still happened. Honestly we lost to many that day, the only good thing is we sent the Hellions packing with their tail between their legs. We showed enough power to prevent that from happening again anytime soon."

[Deleted]

So much damage had been inflicted in the Hell Invasion, that even now - months later, the damage had only just started to be cleaned up. The citizens of the Rukongai were hardy folk however. Many from the poorer districts well used to living in impoverished conditions, were aiding those from the inner districts who had never before seen such hardship. 

Ken'ichi took it upon himself to personally survey the damage done to the recently installed surveillance network. The timing of the Hellion Invasion could not have been more ill timed. Nonetheless, the early warning system did afford the Gotei 13 ample opportunity to evacuate much of the Rukongai, and establish a defensive perimeter to await the onslaught. Musing to himself, Ken'ichi felt that at least it served its purpose, and was an excellent field test.

Now to assess the damage inflicted, and determine the costs and timeframes involved in the repairs. I would have liked to have started this job sooner, but the overwhelming scale of the attack left considerable casualties. Cleanup operations were only now reaching the point where I could even begin assessing what remains of the LREW network. Oh, what's this then?

Spying the blonde-haired shinigami and his companion, Ken'ichi's interest was piqued. Pale skin, unkempt hair, sporting a lieutenant's badge, and wearing a zanpakuto on his back - Ken'ichi was fairly confident the figure before him was the lieutenant of Squad 11. Ken'ichi felt it was his obligation to not only be familiar with the Captains and Vice Captains of the Gotei 13, but to memorize their respective dossiers.

While the powers and abilities of such individuals were usually a closely guarded secret, Ken'ichi made certain to study battle reports and compile their known and surmised abilities as part of their files. Recalling what he knew of Shawn's zanpakuto, Ken'ichi knew his powers revolved around magnetism, and that he had demonstrated considerable skill manipulating the gravity beneath his opponent's feet, and the redirection of enemy attacks. Useful powers indeed.

His companion on the other hand, Ken'ichi knew nothing about. Dressed in a sleeveless white jacket, white hakama, and black sash - the green-haired figure's uniform identified them as an Arrancar. The casual demeanor of the Arrancar, and Shawn both however, quickly revealed to Ken'ichi that said individual posed no immediate threat. They appeared more curious, and disgusted, rather than hostile. 

"Rabuburēdo Fuku-taichou. Ken'ichi Shihoin, Fuku-taichou of Squad 12."

Ken'ichi bowed in a slight, formal gesture. His eyes never straying from the Arrancar as he did.

"And who might your Arrancar companion be? Fear not stranger. I can tell you mean no immediate harm, and so offer you no threat. What brings you to the Rukongai, and far from Los Noches?"

Ken'ichi's demeanor was calm, inquisitive, but nonthreatening. Walking slowly toward the two, it would become swiftly apparent that the shinigami was perfectly at ease, and that his claims of nonviolence were genuine. No hint of animosity, stress, or threat was present in his body language, and his hands never strayed toward the hilt of the twin swords he carried on his hip.

1.) Marik playfully stuck his tounge out at shawn as the man chuckled at his distress , "hey i didnt know that , do you how scary it is to think i came this far just to get eaten by a wall" he would complain in response. a fear that resonated with most if not all hollows who had come as far as marik

2.) Not becoming an arrancar but climbing all the way to vasto lorde , it had been some weeks since he had his mask shattered by teh goons of kohai and was dead set on avoiding that ivory citadel of oppression. and the fact that the left hadn was probably skulking around still.

3.) Taking a moment to process the new comer marik would hold up his left hand to gently stop the man. "when you say las noches is that the name of the big ass ivory pallace i swore that was a figment of my imagination till the jackasses who lived there kept hounding me saying the king owned me" he would say with a sigh clear stress painted on his face as he recalled the memories that had been carved into his memory. "like who the fuck is lord stink eye and why does he rule the worlds largest sandbox WHY!?" he exclaimed grining his teeth at that last part it was very clear he didn't like the man.

4.) Marik would take a moment to take a deep breath , as he visibly calmed his posture would return to that of one who was calm and relaxed. "sorry lets start over both of you my name is marik , i came here because i wanted to see what heaven was like and im tired of lord ass eye's men hounding me.." he would sigh as he looked around clear dissapointment in his eyes. "but it seems like heaven is a dump or atleast is right now , and you guys have a gated...i mean fortress funded by rich people with a wall that trys to eat people who touch it...i was just hoping things would be diffrent here ya know" he would say with a light yawn as he began walking away from the wall deeper into rukon.

5.) Waving for those two to follow him "you guys mind if we walk and talk , i ca help with finding survivors if thats ok...i just need some basic interaction with someone who doesnt wana induct me , or kill me , or eat me" he would say slowly relising just how normal that was for him nowadays.

[Shawn Rabuburēdo]

The response Shawn got from the Arrancar was certainly entertaining. He was going to continue the conversation with this fellow when someone began approaching the pair. By the introduction given Shawn understood this to be Lieutenant of Squad 12, someone who he’s never personally met before. “Ah, welcome, as you've already said I am Shawn Rabuburedo, Lieutenant of Squad 13.” Giving his own bow in response.

Once introductions were finally made it was clear that the Arrancar was no threat, which meant Shawn had no plans to attack. Relaxing a little he nods his head in response to Marik’s question, “I have no problems with that, I was planning on searching for survivors myself.” While this was true he couldn’t help but leave out the fact his goal was to find one or two specific people, though he would help survivors in the process. Turning to face Ken’ichi, he would wait for his fellow Shinigami’s response before beginning to walk.
