Turn Back The Clock IV: Seireitei, 1000 years ago. [BleachitP]

[H. Zee]

The kick bounces off the knee and Raithe laughs. Heh heh, innuendo. You take the pith out of me just becauthe you know you have the funner Shikai. You may have more fun in battle, Giriko, but that'th only because my enemies die too quickly. His eye bulges some more. And altho the ladies, they much enjoy news of my cockleth.

This is said in a very creepy voice.

[Innis Cabal]

Giriko shudders, sticking his fingers in his ears

"Must. Scrub. Brain. Must...scrub brain! One of these days....your going to say the wrong thing...and i'm going to have to bail you out..."

[H. Zee]

I mean well, grunts Raithe happily. You know that, old friend. I've... heh... saved your arse enough timeth for you to have learnt that.

[Innis Cabal]

"Ya? Well your not alone in that you crazy jerk. But thats hardly the point. If this was a contest i'd still beat you. I'm cuter"

[H. Zee]

Look at these abs, says Raithe. Are you looking? Look. Are you looking? He laughs again. Heh heh heh!

[Innis Cabal]

"No i'm not looking you wierdo! I like pretty men not scar riddled beasts. cover yourself or something."

Giriko shakes his head, laughing to himself.

[strawberryman]

As Liz reaches her office, she sends a Hell butterfly to Daisuke, offering him to dinner, too. She then resumes working.

[Neknoh]

On a treestump outside of the academy sat a laughing Honoka, her features fair and beautiful, her long hair let out, and her haori without the embroidery we now know of. Her laughter rang like silver bells and her eyes twinkled just a bit, she was amused, so many boys of the academy were flocking arround her, she found it fun.

She had been a captain for longer than Giriko, however, the circumstances had been different for her, beneath that happy face, beneath those raised cheeks and glinting eyes, she was still kind of sad. Giriko was her senpai by a few decades, but when her captain died of old age, she took his seat, Giriko said he wouldn't want to steal her squad from her, it was only recently his captain got promoted and he moved up. It was funny actually, he was her senpai, and yet, she had been a captain for longer... circumstance eh?

One of the youngsters pulled her out of thought as he excitedly asked her to show some awesome kido, Aiko played allong. And suddenly, every one arround her was knocked off their feet, looking up at the female captain, who with a coy smile had her hand in front of her, index finger pointing straight up as she said, a rather long time after the spell, "Hado no ichi, sho."

She started laughing, as did all of the boys after a while, she really was much too old for them, but nothing wrong with a bit of harmless fun.

[Hadrian_Emrys]

Toho walks through the door of his dorm looking confused. He breaks free of the binds on his arms once he passes through the threshold and freezes. "Wow. Dinner with multiple captains... Oh crap! What the heck do I wear!?"

[horngeek]

5th division Vice-Captain, Hayashi Daisuke, is frantically doing paperwork.

He needed to do some training with Shinken later on...

Then he recieves the message from Liz. I might as well. Don't have much else to do.

[strawberryman]

Liz finally finishes her paperwork, sighs, and sits back for a few minutes... She looks around at her office. The dining table was decorated with a vase of roses... In fact, there were multiple such vases around the spacious room. She was known throughout the Seireitei for her love of roses, usually red. Though she occasionally switched palate for a pink or white.

She takes another breath. Her "dates" would be arriving soon, in all likeliness. She sends an order with one of her lower seated officers to pick a good amount and range of food, probably more than they needed, but it's always better to have too much than too less, and she could afford it.
With her office empty for now, she took a book out from a drawer in her desk, flipped to the middle, and caught up with some of her reading.

The cover: Le Morte d'Arthur.

((EDIT:))

Liz smiled upon receiving Daisuke's response. She was glad he accepted, even though she'd be too embarrassed to admit it.

[Hadrian_Emrys]

Toho blows the light out in his room, and starts out for the meeting spot. "I'm going to be so underdressed..."

((i c wut u did thar!!1! She's got a thing for the whole family. ))

[Innis Cabal]

Giriko is early, of course, due to the mention of free food. It was his idea, but he didn't think anyone would buy it. He waved at Toho as he approched, beaming

"Hello! Its so nice to see you again. Are you still mad?

[horngeek]

Daisuke arrives, carrying Shinken on his back.

I say again, why do I have a Zanbatou for a Zanpaktou?

[strawberryman]

Liz chuckles at Daisuke's comment as he enters, and nods to Giriko and Toho as they arrive. She puts her book down, dog-earring a page to keep her place. "I have only just sent my 13th Seat to retrieve our food orders... It may take a while for it all to be made, so might any of you want tea?" She stands, preparing water to boil, and motions to her table, which is a european make, instead of traditional japanese. With chairs!

[H. Zee]

Raithe turns up late, as usual, and doesn't seem to have bothered getting ready at all - he's still wearing his ragged, tattered haori, but has at least gone as far as putting on a soft and strange shapeless hat.

Good wishes to all, says Raithe happily, sitting himself down. How raw do they do their meat here?

Once his question is answered he will pick up a knife and casually twist it into a circle, looking distant and withdrawn.

[strawberryman]

Liz offers tea to everyone. "It's rose, of course..." She says, seemingly in jest of herself. Seems she has a sense of humor, as well. After offering to everyone, she sits down, sipping her own tea. She looks to Toho with her rose red eyes. "I cannot say I know of your name, young one."

[Hadrian_Emrys]

Toho looks to be in a state of psuedo-shock as he passes by Captain Giriko, with no response, before silently planting himself in a seat at the end of the table. He jumped, as if pinched, when the Captain of the 4th addressed him. Shifting nervously in his seat, he offers his softspoken reply. "Uh... Yeah. I'm not surprised. I try to stay out of sight when I can. Perhaps you've heard of me though," Looking down and away. "-everyone else seems to these days..." In response to his own tone of voice, he sits upright and presents an awkward smile. "I mean, sorry. My name is Toho Tohon, ma'am. I'm not trying to be rude or anything, I-I'm just really nervous. First that creepy ass memo from the Commander-General, now I'm sitting at a table with Soul Society leaders. Uh, sorry. I'm babbling."

[strawberryman]

Liz puts a finger to her lips in thought. "Yes, I believe I may have heard some things about you. Fairly skilled, if the rumours are correct." She takes another sip of her tea, still probing Toho with her eyes. "Please, drink. It might help to settle your lack of comfort." She winks. That probably didn't help.

[Hadrian_Emrys]

Toho sits frozen, with only his darting eyes betraying his stasis.

[Innis Cabal]

Giriko threw an arm over the poor boy's shoulder, laughing

"Calm down, none of here is going eat you....Rai might bite you but your safe other then that. Here, don't drink that...silly girl offering a man tea...really. Here have this."

He hands off a small glass filled with sake

"That'll put some hair on your chest!"

[H. Zee]

Giriko exaggerates, says Raithe earnestly. I tend not to bite. Heh. His chair creaks ominously under him as he shifts his weight. And the kid needs more sake than that, Giri, if he wants to grow some man parts.

Raithe hands Toho his own enormous glass, filled to the brim. Heh heh heh, enjoy.

[strawberryman]

Liz rolls her eyes slightly at Giriko's comment, but doesn't comment. At this time, her office door open, and in comes the food, carried by several lower seats. It seems she's done her research, as each of the Captains finds their favorite dish. "Un bon repas doit commencer par la faim.", she cites. "Enjoy."

She thanks her officers for the delivery, promising them a meal in return, then starts on her own plate of soba.

[Innis Cabal]

"Are you trying to kill him?! Thats way to much for a young man like himself"

Giriko pushs the drink away before the food is served, thankfully it keeps his mouth shut untill his plate is clean

[Hadrian_Emrys]

Having found something within himself that vaguely resembles resolve by the time the food is served, Toho quietly clears his throat. "Uh, thanks for the offer, but... um, I don't drink." He scratches an imaginary itch on the back of his neck. "Heh heh I mean, I don't think anything is wrong with it or anything, but I just don't like feeling buzzed."

[strawberryman]

"I have to say I am in agreement with him, Giriko-kun.", Liz comments, shifting her gaze to the other Captain. "The displays one is capable of while intoxicated are uncouth, especially for a lady." She coughs. That wasn't to say she hadn't had her own occasional celebratory situations that she hoped Daisuke would keep quiet about.

[Innis Cabal]

Giriko slams his hand on the table

"We're with friends ya?! Drink up the both of you, this isn't some childs play party!"

Giriko downs his own, shrugging and drinking staight from the bottle, handing it to Toho

"Come on, drink up kiddo! You to Captain Liz!"

[strawberryman]

Liz shoots a glare at Giriko that would likely make any lesser man die from sheer terror.

[Hadrian_Emrys]

Toho pulls his head back a bit from the bottle as he swallows his bite of food. "I-I'm good. Thanks. Uh... How about I take a rain check until after I finish my officer training? I think I'll really need to unwind then, because uh... *gulp* -because I'll be the captain of the 5th squad."

[Innis Cabal]

Giriko's mouth hangs open

"You...Captain of the 5th...I don't belive it. Lets make a bet. If you manage to make Captain...of any squad. I'll...dance at the next Captains meeting in a dress."
