The Antisocial become Social. (Social Masa/Aurora closed, R)

[Masa Kumasaka]

The desert of this lost place becomes cool and very breezy. It feels so wonderful for those who've adapted to this place. The moon shines bright as usual and Masa simply lays there in the sands feeling the moon's ray beam on his bare skin. He seems to be napping but when the breeze blows onto his nose, it makes his eyes come open very slowly. It was like an angel was rubbing his nose to wake up. "What the hell...? Why do you wake me up when I'm resting myself? Can't you freakin' see that I'm resting?!" The windy breeze seems to lower itself, Masa simply sighs from the as he lays there in the sands of this beautiful desert. He unzips his vest slowly to reach his hand in to pull out something... He pulls his pack of soul cigarettes and opens it to find he only has one cigarette left. "Well, fuck... Looks like I'm out again," he slowly groans. He would then insert the cigarette into his lips and pulls out his zippo from his pocket. He slides the empty pack into his vest and zips his vest up. He flicks his lighter a couple of times, letting off a blue flame. The cigarette begins to burn at the tip as he lights it up.

He shuts the zippo and slides it away into his skirt's only pocket. Masa breathes the tar and holds this in for a moment... He releases it into the air, watching the smoke slowly fad with nature. He slowly gets himself up and wipes the sand off of himself before beginning to walk towards the open desert. He feels like looking for the arrancar he's heard so much of that's a fighter and one that never rests. He pities her because he knows that if one doesn't rest, they can get grouchy. He looks carefully around the deserts as he walks forward. He's known this has always been a spot for this arrancar to be at, but where is she? 

He continues his search carefully, hoping to find this warrior arrancar...

[Aurora Guerrero]

Aurora was wandering through the desert, like she normally did. It was also for the same reasons she usually did. So, it was no suprise that she was lurking around in the desert. She found another hollow and dispatched it as easily as she did all the other hollows she would eat. She sat on the hollow she was currently eating and was just thinking about what had been going on as of late around Los Noches. She had heard that there was something happening with the big wigs.

But, of course, she had no idea what it was. She did know that there was a new Espada in town. It also meant that all the Espada spots were now filled. It just meant she needed to work harder to beat the shit outta the Tercera to take his spot. It was then that she felt something different around. It was a reiatsu she hadn't felt before. She kept sitting on the hollow while she ate, looking around. Then, she saw it. It was a man walking towards her. The reiatsu was stronger than normal, so she was really curious who this person was. She killed the hollow and stood, using the arm bone to pick her teeth clean while he approached her.

[Masa Kumasaka]

Masa senses an arrancar farther away with reiashu. He begins to move in, already aware that the arrancar notices him but he remains calm because he really doesn't mean harm at all. The moon's light beams down on Masa's hollow hawk mask on his head. He slowly makes it to a stop about 15 yards away from this arrancar. He looks up at her as she wraps up her meal on the hollow. He would drag in his cigarette and breathe out the toxic smoke from his lungs. He gives the Fraccion a glare, his face emotionless but hard to tell do to his samurai mask over his mouth and nose. He would slowly bring the cigarette between his fingers, and bringing his hand down. "Look's like you're full... Are you the Tercera fraccion that I hear that fights a lot? If so, that's quite incredible," he would only briefly say. His orange hawk eyes glare up at this arrancar as praises his ally.

"I really hate talking to everyone... However, I felt you deserve someone to chit-chat with from all your combat so here I am to talk to my 'friend'," he says before putting the cigarette back into his mouth to let in another drag. The cool breeze of the deserts blow onto them both, but it was a calming and yet a cool breeze. Winds would begin to swirl around the Espada as if the winds were alive and knew him well. The winds kept at this for only a brief moment then would breeze away into the white desert, never to be seen again...

[Aurora Guerrero]

Aurora watched the arrancar come towards her. She continued to pick her teeth while the hollow's ashes started to blow away in the wind. She wiped her blade off on her pants and sheathed it. When he got closer, she noticed something about him. There was the number 9 tattoo in the center of his chest. She thought to herself, so this was the new Espada. He seemed to be a loner like herself. But, it was interesting that he had two masks on, one around his mouth and nose and his hollow mask.

She cocked her head to the side, wondering why he would need two of them. Once he was about fifteen yards away, he started to talk to her. He called her incredible, but she already knew that. He felt she deserved someone to chit chat with from all her fighting. Well, she had never had anyone say that to her before. This Espada was definitely different than some of the others that she had met. He was interesting. "So, you're the new Espada? I am, Aurora Guerrero. Why do you need two masks?" She threw the arm bone away and stared at him.

[Masa Kumasaka]

Masa nods as she states her name. He would slowly grab his lower mask and pull it off his skin, reveling his emotionless face. No scars, no wounds, no nothing. It's just there for some reason Masa only knows. "It is an honor, Aurora Guerrero. I am Masa Kumasaka, Espada number nine as you know from my zipper being down from my vest. I am the new espada indeed," he would continue saying with he cigarette hanging out of his mouth. "This mask here is to cover my face to avoid the emotions being seen. I may don't appear to show anything but I enjoy making my opponents fooled by how I feel. I also admire this mask because it's something my ancestors from my past life would wear into war. My family was once honorable Bushido followers of the Shimazu family until the Modernization of Japan." he explains. He would take in more of his tar from the cigarette and let the smoke out. "That is why I wear my mask, to make myself anonymous in my fights," he would briefly state, before applying the mask back on.

Masa would peer at her once more, "Would you like a joint from Hueco Mundo weed? I promise it'll be a nice way to take a break and chill," he kindly would offer. His tone seems emotionless but his offer seems honest. Masa wishes to find atleast someone who is another loner. He wants to find someone who can actually be his friend and actually have something in common with him. This would be rare for him to give to someone who is a stranger but after hearing her battle so much and never have anyone to get along with, he felt she needed someone to hang out with.

Masa would reach down in his vest to pull out a neatly rolled joint that was hidden away in his pocket. He pulls out his lighter from his skirt's pocket and offers her the first hit. "Guests always get the first drag, do you accept this, my comrade?" he peacefully says, offering this as a token of peace.

[Aurora Guerrero]

Aurora listened to what the new Espada had to say. It seemed that he used to be a Bushido follower, whatever in the hell that meant, and it's wear the mask comes from. She knew nothing really about Japan, just that her sword came from there. But, to make yourself anonymous in fights could definitely be an advantage. Thinking on it, she could see how it was useful. If the enemy couldn't see how you were feeling, it would be hard to predict attacks and whatnot.

When he mentioned a joint, she didn't really know what that was either. So, she started to sniff the area around him. He had a weird smell around him from what he was already smoking. The smoke bothered her nose but it was nothing too bad. She walked closer to him while he went into his vest and pulled out another little paper thing. She assumed it was the joint he was talking about. He offered it to her, with a lighter. She at least knew that.

She nodded towards him and took it. She had the 'joint' in one hand and the lighter in her right. She assumed this was just like a cigarette except with different stuff in it. So, she put it up to her mouth and lit the end. She sucked in and she definitely knew that there was something up with this stuff. She removed the joint and held the smoke in before letting it go out of her mouth. She knew about cigarette smoking, without actually doing it, so she was just doing the motions. After that, she just kinda stood there, staring off in the distance.

[Masa Kumasaka]

Masa slowly chuckles, a rare thing for him to do. He looks glares at her with an emotionless look still, however it's trusting. He slowly sits down in the sands, crossing his legs. "Sit down and take a few more hits if you want. Pass it to me and we rotate. If you relax, it feels great as hell," he says while breathing in more from his cigarette. He would allow the breeze to swirl around him as he feels the relaxation from his nicotine. Oddly, the winds seem always be around him. It's an odd sight for something like this occur. He would begin to tell his tale, "As I stated earlier, I really don't like talking to people but you seem to be a loner type, aren't you? I think we both can relate."

He starts now, "Long ago when my beautiful land was being corrupted by technology, everything with the people changed. People become less trusting, people become greedy with power. No more honor is present in Japan." He peers at her sword, "You have an excellent sword, I see. It's not my favorite but mine's is similar when I release mine but mine's grows. It becomes a odachi or nodachi katana," he says to her. "Anyways, my family was from being Bushido with honor to Imperialist with dishonor. I disapproved of my father's ideas which leads to my death... I will never forget that, and that's why I lack trust towards everyone. You seem like someone I can trust however, yes?" he says and asks her.

He continues to glare at her, respectfully allowing her to enjoy the joint as she wishes to. Taking in more smoke anyways from his cigarette.

[Aurora Guerrero]

Aurora was just staring out and listened to him say sit down. It snapped her out of her mind and she sat down across from the man, crossing her legs as he did. He told her that she could take a few more hits and if she would relax it felt great. She was almost hitting herself. Her curiosity would get her killed one day. But, she tried to get angry and it didn't happen. She tried again and nothing. Instead, she felt a smile go across her face.

She took another drag from the joint, holding the smoke in longer this time and letting the smoke slowly leave her body. She was definitely feeling a lot less angry and more calm. She had never felt this calm before, except during her living years, what she could remember from them. It actually was a little nice to just be calm. The Espada said that he could relate to being alone and told his story. He then said he could trust her.

"Yes, you can Espada. But, you're a hawk right, with your whole mask thing." She was slurring words just a little and felt herself go into a certain haze. She handed off the joint to one of the Espadas she saw in front of her and was starting to really relax.

[Masa Kumasaka]

He slowly grabs the joint, feeling glad she's enjoying it. He would calmly put the joint into his mouth and would take in a good hit off of it. He holds it in for five seconds and begins to cough, laughing suddenly. "Damn, I couldn't hold it in!" He looks to her with a mellow expression, "Yes, my hollow's mask is a hawk's skull. When I release my sword I completely change my physical feature into a humanoid hawk. Perhaps one day I can show you in a fun duel. We could show off our moves and probably train each other a bit." he would kindly offer her. He'd take another hit off his joint but this time it's successful and he holds it for awhile and breathes it out.

He falls backwards into the sands, and lays there, "Daaamn, I'm stoned...!" he says in a surprising tone. He reaches out and hands the joint to her, "Your turn Aurora... So, what's your story anyways? Do you remember much?" he calmly asks her. The winds continue to blow around just him and eventually blows over to her.. The winds seem to swirl around her and it feels cool to her and calming.

[Aurora Guerrero]

Aurora watched as he fell into the sand and she crawled closer to him to grab it. Well, tried to crawl but she almost toppled over a few times to get there. She sat right next to him and grabbed it. She took another long draw from it and was able to hold it in for about ten seconds this time, coughing as she let it out. She had never encountered anything like this before. She heard him say stoned, and maybe that's what she was feeling.

"I don't remember much. I just know that there was peace in my life till right before my death. It was all rage then. And now, the rage continues. But, what the hell is this stuff? I've never encountered anything that took my rage away before." She took another hit from the joint, letting it simmer in her before letting the smoke out. She chuckled a little to herself before she tapped the Espada and held it out. Then, she laid down on her side, staring at him.

[Masa Kumasaka]

Masa would allow swirl on top of him. He reaches out to grab the joint, sliding it into his mouth. "This is weed from Las Noches... Usually, this kush is white which is unique and great but I loooove it!" He would slowly lay there thinking about his past but he quickly snaps out of it. "I understand how rage feels... Rage is an evil thing to corrupt one's mind. You have to be calm or else it'll completely take you over." He sighs after saying that and takes a drag off of his joint... The joint slowly fades off his mouth, it burns up into ash. This paper he rolls it in seems unique and fades on it's own. He lays there, "Do you have any friends? At least one person to talk to?" he slowly says.

The winds feel beautiful and great at the moment. Sands would be picked up by the soft winds and would make the area very calming for the two high individuals.

[Aurora Guerrero]

Aurora listened to what he said and she got herself up slowly. It felt as her limbs were light but she could barely move them. She listened to him and waited for the joint. But, sadly, she watched it burn off into ash. "NNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" she said before she fell on top of the Espada, her head laying on his chest. She really liked that stuff. But, there wasn't anymore. She thought about what he said and the answer really wasn't that surprising.

"You're the only one that's actually taken time to talk to me. So I guess I don't."

[Masa Kumasaka]

Masa laughs that she was sad that the joint vanished but he also felt sadden that one such as herself is lonely. He actually cracks a smile under his mask's shadow and reaches in his vest to pull out a joint. He hands this to her as a token of a new friendship, "Here, if you ever feel like the rage is causing you to have pain, take this." he offers. He feels a sense of happiness but he feels that he shouldn't get too comfy with this. As much as he loves making friends with someone, he still must learn about her. "Aurora, as an Espada and you as a Fraccion we train together. You want to become better for your Espada, I can teach you a technique that I have only for myself... Do you think you can learn this ability?" he asks.

[Aurora Guerrero]

Aurora watched as a new joint appeared from pretty much nowhere. She was to use it if the rage caused her pain. She took it and put it in her pelt jacket. While he was talking, she felt him take breaths and he rumbled while he talked, making her laugh a little. She was kind of listening to what he was saying, but she still felt in a fog. She stretched out before she answered, nuzzling her head on his chest. "I think I can learn, but you'll have to help me up off your chest. I feel a little heavy right now."

[Masa Kumasaka]

Masa's eyes grow wide as she nuzzles her head into his chest... His face grows red as he would, wrap his arms around her to pull her up with him. The winds would lift them both up because of Masa's communication with the winds being well. He felt his guts butterfly around before he would release her, hoping she won't fall over. "Don't get too dizzy, you'll need to balance yourself or else you'll just fall back over." His face is still red as he speaks to her, feeling not emotionless now but shy... Good thing his mask is covering his face, she wouldn't be able to tell if he was blushing or not.

"Do you want to relax for a moment before we play a friendly game of dueling?" he kindly asks her, not wanting his new friend to mess up while she's high.
