New Beginnings (Open)

[Aegoras]

Leocha Novawurrei was bored out of his mind. The newly-appointed Segunda Espada slipped out of his room and headed off down the hall. He didn't really know who or what he was looking for, but he needed some entertainment of some sort. Ever since the reforming of the Espada, there had been a lot of sitting around and waiting, which had never sat well with the Arrancar. His fingers grazed the cold stone as he walked along the hall.

The Cuarta Espada's room should be soon, and he wondered if she was about, or would be worth the visit. She was quite attractive from what he had noticed, but that wasn't his main concern right now. Any sort of alleviation from the boredom would work at this point. A grin began to spread on his face between the pseudo-teeth of his mask remnants as he considered a few choice options.

I could always test the others, see if they're truly worthy of their positions...

But that idea was brushed aside fairly quickly and his grin faded into a scowl. Aizen-sama would not approve of such activity within Las Noches, and if there was one person Leocha actually feared, it was the former Shinigami.

"Tch."

The large Espada's grin soon returned as he came up on a door to another room. This should be... Maybe he could catch her in a less than decent state. Who cares if she was furious about it, the result would be entertaining either way. He was sure he could certainly handle anything she could throw at him.

"Helloooooo... Anyone home?"

[Mina]

It was anything but quiet in the Cuarta Espada, Mimi Musenni's room. Shrieks of pain echoed across the walls as she giggled, entertained. Most of Las Noches had been uncharacteristically quiet and to some it was unnerving. But Mimi wasn't one of those people. Yes, she did enjoy fighting very much. But she found a long time ago the thrill of fighting is nothing compared to the thrill of torturing people.

She looked to her left as one person was in a torture rack, slowly having his arms and legs pulled until dismembered. To her right, she had the ol' fashioned pendulum of doom, swinging back and forth not yet cutting open the victim's stomach. In front of her, someone was slowly being dropped into acid. All of them were screaming in pain, and begging her to stop. Her smile grew as she went to work on the one behind her.

This man, young, extremely low spiritual pressure, was able to see her. So she was now dissecting him, taking out organs and such. He was still struggling, an screaming and so it was still fun to Mimi. However, she was interrupted by the motion sensors outside her room's door. She snapped her fingers and the monitor came over and showed her who was there.

"Tch. Great timing!" she spoke sarcastically.

She cleaned off her scalpel and hands and went to open the doors. Even though the Segundo Espada, Leocha, had arrived. The fact that people were still screaming brought her immense joy.

"Ohaiyou, Lecoha. Can I help you?" she asked sweetly.

[Aegoras]

In a greeting that was almost sickeningly sweet, the female greeted him. He made no effort to mask the travel of his eyes up her form, as his sneer became a permanent fixture on his face. His thick arms crossed as his gaze finally met hers. It was only now that the screams coming from inside registered in his ears.

"Sounds like you're having a bit of fun in there, eh?" His eyes flashed excitedly as he chose the playful banter approach. This could prove entertaining after all. His hand came to rest on the wall behind her head as he moved in a bit closer, his grin still obnoxiously arrogant as always. "Tell me, does anyone ever tie you up and make you scream?"

He had only recently become aware of the Cuarta's general activities within the confines of her room, and it always fascinated him. In his mind, if they were too weak to defend themselves properly, then they were fair game. If one is strong enough, they won't find themselves in this position at all. Maybe soon they would have some Shinigami to dissect together.

A small chuckle at the thought of how twisted the notion seemed, a date where the main objective is who can elicit the loudest blood-curdling screams from their victim. But his head shook slightly as he brushed aside the thought.

"You'll let me know if you need someone to do that for you, won't you?"

[Mina]

Her smile almost faltered when she seen the cocky, arrogant, obnoxious look upon his face. However, she maintained her facade and smiled. Her eyes turned to daggers when he put his hand near her head. She finally stopped, and looked at his form. After a few seconds of analyzing, she laughed internally. he was trying to flirt? She had to admit, he was pretty hot. And he was built like a wrecking ball. But she wasn't just going to swoon over like some bitch in heat.

She smiled and went to turn around, making an effort to gently slide her fingers across his face. While her back was to him, he mentioned the whole having herself tied up thing. She began to open her mouth, ready to yell at him. But then another idea hit her. She strutted seductively up to him, and put her face to his, her mouth to his ear.

"No...but I've been a bad girl...someone should spank me," she said then walked away slowly. She left the door to her lab open, and she picked up a scalpel.

She wasn't cocky, but she knew he would follow her. His arrogance would get the best of him, and he would assume that she was trying to flirt back. She sighed once, but then the man whom she had been dissecting began to curse at her. She smiled sweetly then stabbed the scalpel into his breathing tube. Screaming was one thing, disrespect was another.

She took out a brush from her table, and began to brush her hair, as she waited for him to enter.

[Aegoras]

Leocha noticed the changes in her looks, the glare when he put his hand up, the appraising that followed after, and the teasing smile as she started to turn away. He couldn't help but chuckle wickedly as he whispered in his ear, but he wasn't foolish enough to take her seriously yet.

Well, maybe I should...

He made no effort to hide his eyes watching her backside as she moved back into her room. She left the door open, so he assumed it was an invitation. A flash of a grin, and eyes on fire, he stepped inside and stood by the door as she brushed her hair. It was very pretty hair, she must spend a lot of time on it. He glanced at the other tables. When she's not busy with victims, he imagined.

"So, this is the Chamber, huh?" He said chamber in a manner that made it sound infamous. Leocha could appreciate her methods, though his own brand of toying with his victims generally took different methods. He moved away from the door, his hands crossed lazily behind his back as he strode slowly around the tables.

"So..." He tilted his head towards her and flashed another large grin. "Where shall I spank you?"

[Mina]

Leocha had chuckled after her teasing, and she knew he had figured it out. However, she still had many surprises in store for him. When he had mentioned her room being 'the Chamber' she laughed, and her grin actually became real.

She stretched out, as the two being tortured in the room died off. She sighed and ran her hand through her hair. She loved her hair, she smiled involuntarily.

When he asked where the spanking should began, she giggled then pointedly looked towards his pants.

"We can start with the spankings as soon as your "pride" grows bigger than that!" she laughed harder, and fell off the table. Not noticing, she continued rolling around and laughing.

[Aegoras]

The large Arrancar scowled as she insulted him and then began to laugh, rolling around and carrying on. He watched her fall to the floor like a woman possessed, and he cursed under his breath. Leocha didn't like being insulted, and it was even less tolerable by someone like her. It took every ounce of his will, but he finally managed to push his blind rage down and give a retort.

"Maybe if I had something more inspiring for company..."

But the thought trailed off as he realized it would be treading on dangerous territory. As much as he hated to let something like that pass, he didn't want to be the one to start any real drama so quickly in the rebuilding process. Being part of a group was becoming increasingly troublesome, it seemed, and the arrogant Espada wasn't used to keeping his pride in check.

He rubbed the fresh tattoo of the number 2, which was on display on the right side of his neck, just above his collar bone. This group situation did come with its perks, though, he had to admit. Being an Espada, the second highest at that, granted him the respect he had always deserved.

Well, by everyone except for this woman, it seemed.

His grin had returned by now, and he stared out the window into the bright sands under the dome. This rebuilding process needed to hurry up, he was itching for some action, some blood, some destruction. As long as he was cooped up here, he had nothing for entertainment.

"How long? How long do we stay like this, how long before we tear apart the Shinigami and the traitors?"

[Mina]

She giggled, and laughed, and guffawed until she needed a larger amount of air intake. She started panted, and she finally regained her breath. She lifted herself off the ground, and brushed the dirt off. She was about to apologize when the Arrancar retorted. A vein began to throb erratically on her head. She took deep breaths, and slowly walked over to the vat of acid in the room. She tossed it at the man, and screamed incoherent words at him.

She calmed down when he looked out the window and began to speak about being freed. As much as she disliked the man at the moment, she had to sympathize with him. She new exactly how she felt, and she sighed deeply. She walked over to him, and put her hand on his shoulder.

"I know how you feel..the anxiety of knowing how our superiors passed. Wanting to get out there and show them how we can kill them as they kill us. Show them fear they showed us, as if it were our faults we became monsters..." she finished and choked up a bit on the last of her words.

Despite her tough exterior, she never talked about the fear she remembrered. Not superiority, or anger, or arrogance. Fear. It crawled up her skin, and gave her a chill. Now she knew she was stronger and could easily kill almost any Shinigami, but the past fears clung to her like a scar. Shaking off her thoughts, she looked up at the Segunda Espada.

[Aegoras]

Leocha was suddenly quite uncomfortable around the woman. The newly-named Espada wasn't used to being vulnerable, his emotions were usually kept in check for just this reason. He averted his eyes as she placed her hand on his shoulder and spoke. This situation was becoming increasingly antsy the longer this conversation went. He allowed a single nod and then scowled suddenly.

"Tch. The Shinigami and treacherous Grimmjow will never be able to stand up against our might." His grin returned as he continued, and he looked down at her to return her gaze, his arms now crossed before him. "And what of the others? I haven't seen the other Espada much as of late. Wonder what they're up to."

It had been so quiet around the fortress lately, that was most of the problem with the boredom. Leocha wasn't usually much one for companionship, per se, but when he couldn't kill and maim, he wanted people to talk to and berate as a second-best. As of late, he'd has neither.

"And I could use some Fraccion to torture. I'm starting to get impatient on that front, too."

[Mina]

Mimi coughed and walked away from the man, and went to go sit on her windowsill. She gazed out into the bright, luscious building of Las Noches. She wondered what it would be like, to be free of anguish and terror. To just wander around Karakura Town, murdering, and torturing helpless people. Dissecting, stretching, testing...

She shook her head and looked at Leocha. The new Segunda wasn't as tough as everyone perceived him to be. Maybe if she got to know him...she shook her head again. She looked up at the ceiling as he mentioned how he wanted to kill the Shinigami and Grimmjow. She wasn't particularly loyal to Aizen, so on this subject she was neutral. Sometimes she wondered if maybe she should've left with him.

"Nah...this is my home,"[/i] she decided after a few seconds of thought.

She looked toward the Espada, "Be careful what you wish for, Leocha. You just might get it!" She said, smirking cockily at the man.

When he mentioned how he hasn't seen any other Espada, she nodded. Not many liked to be sociable, a perfect example was the Primera Espada, Ulquiorra Cifer. He was very solitary, and really didn't like to be bothered. However, there was just a newly appointed Septima Espada.

"Well what do you say we initiate the Septima?" she said with a wide grin. Although she knew she couldn't do anything too drastic to the man.

[Aegoras]

At her suggestion, his grin grew, till it was wider than it had been since he'd shown up at her door. Messing with the new Septima, eh? Oh, that could prove quite entertaining. He wondered just how far they could go in their teasing, how much they could put him through. After all, it was their job as Espada to ensure they were willing to go the distance for Aizen-sama, right?

Leocha began laughing slowly, as if pondering truly wicked things. Finally, he turned away from the window and faced the woman. "Yes, let's go initiate the poor guy."

He led the way out of her chamber and began walking at a leisurely pace down the hall. This venture may not be a loss after all, he had found himself an interesting new companion in the Cuarta (attractive, too), and now they would be having some fun at the others' expense. Well, at least one of the others, for now. But which door was it?

They had walked a good deal, by now, and Leocha was starting to get a little worried that they had passed it. He glance at Mimi and made sure she still seemed confident in their destination. The Segunda was horrible at finding his way around the fortress, and if Mimi's room hadn't been so close, he probably never would have found it. A being as powerful as Leocha Novawurrei didn't need to concern himself with direction or learning floor plans. Especially not for a place so large. If he really needed to get somewhere, he could always start punching holes in the walls till he found what he was looking for.

Of course, soon enough his fraccion would be doing his bidding anyways. A small sigh as his grin had grown smaller now, and his eyes took on a more annoyed look. They had been walking for a while now.

"Do you remember where it is?"

[Ogihci]

Jericho Cross was a little pissed as he was picking up his new room. He was gonna have to move again do to a certain miss calculation. Though he guessed it was fortunate that he only had to pack one box at any rate. He would be moving from the Septima room to the Quinta room. To think he had just gotten this room recently and now he would have to move again. Thanks to all those bastards dying and ditching this place was becoming a vacuum of the weak taking the places the strong used to be. Though he guessed it could of been worse. Those weaklings could be higher up them him. He began to walk out of his room, the big box in hand. When he got to the door he had forgotten he had closed the door. Frustrated he simply kicked the damn thing down. *How annoying* he thought to himself and then walked out.

As soon as he did he heard voices and looked to see the Segunda and Cuarto espadas. He nodded at them in a slight bow. "Hey guys what are two strong beings such as yourselves bothering coming to this area of Los Noches," he said in an attempt at flattery. If there was anyone he actually respected it was those stronger than him. The box contains a electric guitar and amp, along with a few reading materials and standard living needs such soap, toothpaste, etc.

[Mina]

Mimi's eyes shone with excitement at the thought of torturing the poor fellow. Nothing compared to what her usual torturing was like, but none the less, it was exciting. She jumped up and squealed. She shooed him out her room, and closed the door. In the back of her mind, she reminded herself to get more...erm subjects. Leocha was walking at a rather fast pace, and Mimi had to use sonido every 5 steps, just to keep up with him. It wasn't the fact that she was slow, more so that he had longer legs.

She had a little pep in her step, for once. And she smiled down the hallways as Leocha had a confused look on his face. It took her a few moments before she realized what he was so confused. She burst out in giggles, as she ran farther ahead of him. He thought they were lost! True, it's not like she had spent any personal time a the lower numbers' rooms, but she knew how to get there.

"Geesh, of course I know my way. Besides, Leocha, if you had a good Pesquisa you'd know where he was. Obviously you should polish your Pesquisa, 'cause mine is fine," she said, teasing the Segunda Espada.

As she said this, she felt them closing in on the Septima Espada. She giggled, delighted, then used her more advanced sonido to close the gap. As she arrived, he had a packed bag and was moving out of the room. What the hell? When he attempted to compliment her, she snorted.

"Kid, flattery will get you no where. Except my lab..." she said, and stopped slowly as all the possible ways to torture an Espada crept into her mind.

An Espada!

[Aegoras]

Lecocha wandered slowly, approaching after Mimi, a scowl on his face after being teased by her about being unsure of where they were going. But his scowl morphed into a sneer and his eyes lit up as he listened to the two of them speak. He wondered if the sudden shine in the Cuarta's eye as she mentioned her lab was new thoughts of torture, and he chuckled softly. Probably.

"You would be wise not to take her up on that, New Guy." Leocha warned with a grin, even though he would personally be watching such a display with interest. Torture in and of itself didn't really interest him. But control and power over someone else on such a deep level did. It was all a part of his mentality of toying with his opponents, showing everyone who was watching just how strong he was. It was all a show.

He leaned against the hallway wall casually and watched with only half interest. His eyes moved over the box and its contents, and he put two and two together before speaking again.

"Moving out? Where are you headed so quickly? You only just got here, didn't you?"

[Ogihci]

"ha ha ha, duely noted," he said grinning. He was amused by this, it almost seemed like she would torture him if if continued with the flattery so, he dropped it. He looked over the two they were quite strong from what he could tell though he was unsure if they were as strong as the ones before but he guessed if they got the positions they must be worthy much like himself. Then the segunda asked him if he was moving out.

"OH! Right check this out," he said setting down the box of stuff and lifting his sleeve and turning to show his shoulder with a 5 on it where his 7 used to be. "I got promoted," he said grinning. Not that he was the strongest mind you but he was still rather proud of it. "It was a little annoying that they told me after i unpacked my stuff but hey at least I didn't have much," he was looking on the bright side though it still pissed him off.

"But really though what brings you guys down here?" he asked a little puzzled they would even give the time to the ex septima and the new quinta espada.
