[BSD-RP] Human World: Karakura Town

[BSD]

The look of confusion on his face caused Blume’s lips to twitch, but a gentle smile immediately returned upon his laughter and exclamation of being out of his expectations for the night. Good. He was amused, and that made it easier to reel him in. Small and fragile was what he had expected, and Blume was anything but. Indefinitely towering over him by nearly a foot more, the Diamante head listened closely as he praised her of hidden features despite her outward appearance. Adding to the fact that he didn’t seem deterred by her appearance in the least, it only meant that his priorities wouldn’t be swayed once set. Feeling the eyes of the crowd on them, Blume’s gaze never left Dominic, observing him quite closely and letting out a tinkling chuckle as she watched his gaze shift into something that would only scare the sheep away, and it did.
As his eyes once more fell onto her, she tilted her head, listening as he immediately got to business on why she needed him.
"So what's up? I figured this is for some sort of Quincy business, and I guess your family is super important or whatever. Need me to kill some loitering Hollows you guards can't handle? Even though you would be able to do that yourself with all that strength, you're sitting on. Or is this about something else altogether?"
He was observant. Thinking back to his pictures, she could only wonder exactly what he was waiting for, but of course, with his enthusiasm for beating down hollows, Blume could get an idea of what this boy did for fun when not training or in matches.
“While it is for Quincy business, my family has no hand in why I want you.”
Taking a stride forward, Blume led Dominic to one of the unoccupied balconies and felt the rush of cool night winds blow against her skin. As they walked, she talked, taking small breaks here and there just to see if Dominic had questions, comments, or concerns.
“I want you for selfish purposes. Those guards you mentioned earlier: nonexistent." Blume brushed back a stray lock behind her ear. Occasionally she would glance and find Mia and Bradley glancing in her direction. “I understand you’re a fighter, fresh off the block but with three wins under your belt, no losses; it is always impressive to see someone as ambitious as you.”
Her gloved hands rested against her hips and she glanced up towards the sky. It was… eerily quiet, the more she drowned out the background noise of the party guests. Not as if she forgot about Dominic’s presence, Bluume was just in thought on a proper approach for him. Beating around the bush wouldn’t do any good; Dominic was upfront about everything, and it was made an example of when he exclaimed of her not being anything frail nor small. He was fierce, she saw it in those green eyes of his, burning with passion for a fight. Dominic was fearless and loyal if she played her cards right. So without another thought, she laid her cards out on the table.
“Are you aware of the story regarding the Sealed King, or his hymn?"
It was years ago when she had first heard his tales. The Kaiser Gesang was drilled into her head, from morning to night.
"The seal would be broken, and the king would regain his heart after nine-hundred years. Ninety years after, his intellect would return. And nine years afterward, his power would return. After regaining his powers, it’d take nine days for him to take the world."
Possibly startling Dominic, she’d wave her hands a bit frantically.
“Not that I think that our King would rise anytime soon, anyway. But, you of all people know that activity has been rather active lately on the spiritual side of our spectrum. What did you see a week ago on that trail?”
Once he’d give her the answer that she already knew of, it only confirmed that she needed to move quicker.
“Things aren’t going to stay peaceful any longer, and I need someone like you by my side. I dislike fighting, believe it or not; raising my hand is the very last thing I wish for. It's not necessarily putting you to work. You always have a choice after all.”
Taking the time to approach Dominic, the distance between them was just inches apart. Not with the means to intimidate, but show the sincerity of her cause. She wanted to protect the human world. Shinigami couldn’t be depended on every time, and even if it meant upsetting the balance of souls, Blume would do what she had to. Blume was a lover of peace and hated any sort of conflict. She saw and felt what greed had caused as she grew up. Power was dangerous in the wrong hands of the starved. While other Quincy may share the same drive with her cause, the only difference between them was that Blume wouldn’t follow anyone.
She knew what she wanted.
And she would get it.
“Follow me on my path to Empress and stay by my side, won’t you, Dominic? I’m aware that it’s a lot to take in. I don’t need an answer now, of course, but eventually…” She trailed off. There was no telling where Dominic would stand, but there were only two choices: with her, or against her. On a lighter note, she started again, should he not give her an answer right away. “Regardless, you have the Diamante Forge’s sponsorship for your matches since you enjoy it so much. I managed to sneak in a couple of your fights before the night started, actually. I may just have to ask you for a private lesson for self-defense purposes.”
That warm smile of hers wavered as there was a shrill cry that echoed through the city of Karakura Town, and it was far from human, but maybe she was hearing things. Maybe it was a faint cry from the party, but she knew better. All the Quincy would, hopefully.

He had asked her to call him by his first name, but after working in this particular line, it was merely a sign of respect and politeness. Mia didn’t know Fredrick well enough to call him by his name. Even her lady, who has made it adamant that being called “Blume” was just fine; it was not fine.
“I’m afraid I can’t do that, Mr. Elbeck.”
As she motioned over to Silas, the last thing that Mia ever expected was to be hoisted up by her waist in such an ungraceful manner.
“Mr. Elbeck, please!”
Embarrassment crawled up her skin, and the heat was apparent in her face. She covered it, and hid away from the crowd that looked in distaste at the actions of Fred and Mia, but would not dare utter a word under the Diamante household. When Fred had finally settled down and realized how bad the display was and set her back down. She couldn't land quick enough and smoothed her skirt down quickly and coughed, even as he apologized for his excited rowdiness.
A gentle bow of her head was all that she offered Silas, and she listened intently of their tale against the dastardly Santa figure. She followed behind Fred had he taken a seat with Silas, and chose to continue standing, her eyes drifting to follow the line of her lady's figure as she led the priority of tonight's personal meetings out to the balcony. At the other end of the room, Bradley was conversing with the elder Kaiser. Even if perhaps somehow her lady was unable to convince Dominic by tonight, then maybe the constant pestering of his doting uncle would sway him to take Blume's proposal.
This maid's expression hadn't shifted as she too heard this shrill shriek.
“Excuse me, gentlemen.”
Mia's gentle tone and soft expression make it all seem as if there wasn't a thing wrong in the world. She casually makes her way over to the balcony where Blume and Dominic, seeing a similar expression in concern. Both knew that something had come, but what? And would they have to step in to deal with the matters themselves?

Quote:All things are clear for tonight

Just a simple message sent off, but their night wasn’t going to be clear, both were going to switch out to their gigas, but that was stopped by their phones going off. The tone was that of a warning, that a hollow had been dectected in their area. The darker haired male sigh while the blond would perk himself up in excitement.
“Is that what I think it is!?!?”
A deep breath was taken in by the dark-haired male, as he looked towards his partner.
“… Yeah that would the Que for us to go do our duty… I was really looking forward to having some food…
The blond would jump for joy, as he was getting his first taste of battle against a hollow, he wanted to prove to his partner here that he has what it takes to become a captain, and this hollow would die in one swing. His arrogance was showing in his eyes, long before he could speak words.
“I’m going to ki-“
“Don’t you fucking say or so help me Soul King I’ll be sure to put you in the ground right now”
The blond was again annoyed by his friend, but he still that didn’t stop the flame that was now burning in his eyes. He was screaming at himself with the voice in his head, screaming he can do this, he can win he can kill this hollow in one strike! He was determined to do so, for he saw it as away to get recognition amongst his peers and possibilities of a captain, but he was young and naive enough to believe such silly things as getting recognition for doing his job.
The two began to run up and across the sky, creating reshi platforms with each step they took, Their phones beeping faster and faster till finally they were upon the hollow beast. It was a strange looking creature, it had taken on the form of a bat, with long talons on its arms and feet; and it just so happened to take hold of an unsuspecting individual before screaming loud enough that it began to hurt its ears, before quickly eating its victim. Though they two didn’t say a word to one another they leapt into action, with hesitation; It was their job to do so and stop this hollow from causing more harm.

“Bakudō #4 Hainawa!
He had put both his hands together before shooting out the yellow rope of Reshi towards the hollow, hoping to bind the beast in it; While the blond used shunpo to appear directly above the hollow, his finger and sword pointing down wards at the hollow, the sword at the head and his finger at a wing.
“Hadō #1 Shō
As he dropped down his Kido shot out with haste it would be difficult to avoid as his kido at such a close range, while he himself came down with his zanpakuto, where he aimed to slice down from the back of the head and down to its tail, his goal was to slice the hollow in half as cleanly as possible. Though had the hollow dodged the attack the Bakudō would miss the blond haired Shinigami in his descent. While the dark haired Shinigami pulled his zanpakuto out, and began to chant once more.
"Disintegrate, you black dog of Rondanini!! Look upon yourself with horror and then claw out your own throat! Bakudō #9. Geki"
This was to prepare to help protect against physical contact with the hollow, so as to ensure that he would paralyze the beast, if the contact was made, all so he could finish the beast off.

The blood. The organs. Flesh….It was all just so egregiously delicious. Every soul that Bltz tormented he devoured, the downtown core now in growing uproar of an invisible threat to most, but to some gifted individuals they would know what is to come. A hollow. To them it was everyday. Sad as it was to say, but some souls just cannot be saved from the demonic likes of the hollow “scum” that inhabited the same world as they reap upon the souls of the living, devouring them to strengthen their holdover their sanity. To sate their thirst for bloodshed momentarily before gorging on the next feast. A certain madness washed over his body, controlling him in a...frenzy. Feeling more confident and comfortable in his being and his need to satisfy the thirst from within him, he killed many people downtown, screeching at alarming heights and blowing the ear drums of nearly all he came across. It was a shrieking nightmare as a multitude of citizens now fleeing from the core of the city, praying they make it home alive to their women, and children.
”Oh dear god please...Don’t kill me! I have to watch over my son!!”
”Unfortunately, not everyone can be so lucky…I'll tell your son that you had my permission to die.”
As he approaches a soul, her chain still linked to her bosom, fear struck through her eyes as the giant bat-like menace pulled up on her. He stood calmly, not raising his voice...Something out of character for him. He never raised his voice unless he felt it necessary. Wasting little time in this feast, he devoured the soul of the woman, starting with her head. He wiped his mouth and soon leaped up and into the air then broke out into flight once more. Unleashing a cannon of soundwaves upon the city, shattering glass on the sides of buildings if not destroying complete floors with his sound piercing reiryoku energy. A vibrating pulse could be felt emanating from Blatz’ body; it was his own reiryoku, making a sound to any as he crept up on them for a meal.
He was surprised with the lack of response he has seen so far from the outer forces, such as the Shinigami. They would be the most notable to stop him from this slew of chaos and uncertainty, to save the middling humans that they hold so dear.
It made Blatz want to vomit.
Disgusted by their creed to "protect those who cant protect themselves" and to "balance" the level of souls passing from one realm to the next. He felt it more important to rid the world of those who can't pay the respect to those who came before them. He wanted nothing more than to come across a group of Shinigami and rip them limb from limb...careful what you wish for?
As he flew around the downtown core of the city, partially in shambles and destruction, the people of Karakura would seemingly be rescued by their black clad protectors. Two Shinigami's, a blonde and a dark haired one seemingly tracked Blatz's whereabouts, took them long enough he felt. He didn't lose speed as he flew towards them, they started to make their move. A good team, their tandem offense was a flurry of well placed Kido spells and swordplay. One shot a yellow rope towards Blatz' incoming body, he had seen this Kido before, once trapped by it long ago he managed to free himself after deducing its weaknesses. Unfortunately, he would not be entangled by it today. The speed he flew at, wasn't overly alarming, but it was faster than what they had expected, slightly tilting his body left about 45 degrees, dodging the rope completely. He then turns himself while midair, flipping himself belly up to completely telegraph the next attack coming from directly above him. Surely catching the young Shinigami by surprise, he would soon excrete a large sound blast upwards at the fast coming Swordsman. Air and concussive energy ripped through the air with a horrific sound, howling towards the Shinigami and blowing him back and away upward in which he came with superb force. His kido spell lost within the intangible chaos that was Blatz' sound screech. Blowing away the initial Shinigami's partner, taking his attention back to the other. He watched as he pulled out his zanpakuto, meaning he was getting serious. It should have been that serious for him from the start. Unleashing another Bakudo, this one took him much longer to execute, probably to build its power. Considering he took this time to site the entire incantation, Blatz built his reiryoku within his body rather quickly before the spell had the chance to go off. Once he finished speaking, now passing over to "Bakudo #..." Blatz raised his reiatsu and flew over to the other Shinigami and just before the name of the Kido left his lips, Blatz released his dog whistle like Reiatsu signature. A piercing sound would emanate from Blatz' position, ultrasonic vibrations made from his reiryoku could paralyze and deaden if not entirely kill another being. The sound was crippling, if heard the Shinigami would both have to bow down to his might out of paralysis. Any prolonged exposure could burst their ear drums.
He would raise the volume if not heard loud enough. This would also incapacitate all humans in the immediate area without question. The Kido spell shot off from the dark haired shinigami near encapsulated Blatz but was overshadowed by his great spiritual energy. the vibrations engulfed the spell, forcing it into submission and never fully taking hold of its limbs. Now two of them were at the mercy of Blatz and he had little patience for Shinigami. Approaching the dark haired Shinigami, still having his shroud of sonic vibrations in effect, pinning him to the ground potentially to his knees if his resistance was that great. He wished to offer no final words. They were lifelong adversaries, this wouldn't be the last time he came across a black clad ghost. But it would be the last he would come across these ones specifically. He then would then soften the muscles in his throat once more and then proceed to attempt blow the flesh off of his adversaries.

As he approached Silas, he did indeed notice that his suit was and is well fitted to man’s frame, though that can be attributed to the fact that Silas seemed to have someone familiar with him. As for Fred, while it did fit nicely, he still had to be careful with his clothing, if only for fear that he might rip it apart with ease. though still he moved his hand towards Silas and gave it a firm shake, before letting the now fully embarrassed Mia down, where she apologized on his behalf. He was a bit embaressed himself but he didn’t like showing that.
“Indeed Fred, I’m doing well! Forgive my interruption earlier. It seems as if Ms. Diamante and I have the same things in mind.”
Silas stopped only to just his glasses to which Fred’s eyes wondered a bit, around the crowd, before Silas spoke again.
“The other end of the battle went quite well fought, I even managed to spot a few shinigami in the process as I’m sure you saw when things came to a close. There wasn’t much to it aside from a joint effort between shinigami and quincy. I see you even managed to meet a few new faces of your own. The fullbringers are an interesting bunch to say the least and you? How was your end of the battle?”
He still kept his smile, but the pain was still there for him, his wound ached when it came to remembering the events that happened.
“It was strange, we we’re transported elsewhere, that beast you saw at the end of that battle was the same beast we fought, it was able to phase through our attacks, even phasing through a powerful attack. Though that could be me being a little to slow on releasing my attack.”
He was about to explain more when a scream could be heard, causing his head to turn just as Mia excused herself. His head shook as he would look back at silas, before smiling, it seemed as though this was an excuse for him to get out of this whole event, as he still felt out of his element.
“excuse me as well Silas, I need to change it something… More comfortable.”
His smile widened as he walked towards the direction of Mia, Blume and another quincy it seemed, a younger looking fellow who had a bit of an air of cockiness to him, even though he never met the guy before; his face said it all though, but Fred wasn’t here for either Blume or the younger male, he was here to ask Mia to lead him back to the guest room he was taken to.
“Excuse me but, I was wondering if Mia here can show me the way back to the room, where I changed. I would like to head out for evening and take care of some… business.”
This was him trying to keep a little quite about the whole situation, as he didn’t exactly want to interrupt the event that was going on, he wanted to investigate that scream, but not in the current clothing he had on; it was too nice of a gift for him to get it damanged or destroyed in the battle that was to come, on top of which he left his battle supplies behind with his usual attire in that room.

It appeared that the hollow was and is faster than they anticipated. This wasn’t a normal hollow what so ever. It was an adjucha level threat, one where they weren’t equipped to deal with and tonight it began to show as the hollow quickly dodged the incoming attack from the first intial Kido spell shot out by the darker haired male. His partner almost had the literal drop on the hollow but it had other plans as it was able to sense the young Shinigami dropping down and with a quick turn and a scream it knocked both himself and his kido off course.
The secondary Kido that the bark haired male was trying to create protect himself from a physical attack was interrupted by a high pitched scream and reiatsu baring down on him, and the humans around them as they began to collapse. This situation was getting worse, he couldn’t reach for his phone, and his hearing was starting to deafen out, as the hollow would move forward, step by step
The blond who was launched back was quickly forgotten about, but the sound blast that he had taken had disoriented him. Infact everything was a blur, and sound? It was a high pitch ringing as he finally stopped his motion mid air. Thankfully Shinigami are some durable creatures, more so than their counter parts the humans; but still he had a ringing in his ear, his vision was blurry from the concussive force he had taken, though he couldn’t hear a damn thing, just that ringing. His hand reached up to his ear, only to feel blood coming down. He couldn’t rely on his hearing, but he could rely on his senses, and so he did he was able to figure out where the bat was going. He was aiming to deliver a killing blow.
He had to act fast, no Kido just action. He began to do his running start his zan still in hand as he began to pick up speed, from there he would shunpo and reappear behind the hollow once more, his Zan pointing directly in the hollows spine, where if he did land it he would slice upwards towards the head, all to purify the beast, but in this case this hollow would more than like be sent towards hell, for his actions committed.
The dark haired male however was at the mercy of the hollow, but he was still trying everything in his power to escape the hollow’s reiatsu, if the hollow had gotten distracted he too would shunpo out, and away to catch his breath.
