The Docks

* a large gate opens near the docks, as Haji steps out.

He observes the lay of the land for a moment to get his bearings, as he awaits Roan's arrival.

All seems quiet at the moment, but Haji knows, nothing is ever as it seems*

*Waving across from the entrance door leading into a large container storage area,

Haji looks over.

he signals with his left hand to keep moving forward.

His eyes settle in as he moves along the containers; unsure what he is feeling,

but knowing something is amiss.*

*with Roan out of sight, Haji notices a Hell Butterfly land on his shoulder.

Listening to the message from Roan, he replies, sending it back to him*

"All seems quiet here... press on...
If you encounter danger, take off your bracelet immediately, I will be able to sense you then,
And can come to reach you..."

*Haji continues on, pressing deeper into the storage areas*

the day turns to night as a mysteriosu salior appeared along the docks, what could be his agenda, just coincidence, or is it fate?

Mission Update

Ask around the dark docks, there are over 5 people around the area, there are two men fishing on a boat near by, lovers having a quarrel and a sailor stacking crates.

Remember that human interaction requires a gigai

Good luck

*Unconcerned with anything, but his single minded focus, Haji moves deeper and deeper into the container storage unit.

All alone now, he kneels down and checks the floor.

He crawls around searching for a moment, and then he sees it, hidden by dust.

Brushing some aside, he sees a line that looks as if it has been cut into the floor.

brushing the dust aside as he walks, squatting along the way, he makes his way towards teh left side of the room.

As he does, he notices a loose stone in the ground.

He kneels down and begins to scrape around the edges.

Once finished, he lifts the stone, revealing a concave crevice, and a worn old, leather pouch.

Reaching for it he says*

"þú ert. Myndað af útlit fyrir þú.

ÉG furða hvenær the tími vildi koma fyrir okkur til hitta aftur.

Nú the þríhyrningur er heill."

*Placing the bag into his pocket, he begins to make his way back out of the storage unit.

As he leaves the building, he notices a man standing by the unit, loading something.

Haji walks closer, not wearing a gigai to avoid being noticed*

The two fishers at the docks continued their daily activities, not really caring about the activity around them

"Hey, good to see you today, we've seen some pretty bad stuff on TV huh, I was worried you might have been caught"

"What do you mean"

"Bevel is completely gone, and apparently there is some surnatural thing involved"

"What?? Bevel? That's impossible"

"I'm telling you, it just went POOF, gone, like that, I heard there was a dragon there not long ago too...with some dark looking people, taking away a small girl..."

A Hell Butterfly soars high over all areas, giving the Shinigami a message only they can hear.

"This is Jinketsu-Soutaicho," It began. "You have all been gone a while, yet I have heard of no disappearances, so I assume you have all been very busy finding information out. I'd like you all to send a Hell Butterfly back to Gotei Headquarters in the 1st Division reporting what you have found so far and any suspicions you may have, and then continue with your investigations. Arigatou."

*Watching the man, Haji tilts his head slightly, curious as to what he is counting.

he stands for a moment, looking at the man's scarred hand, contemplating what may have been the cause for it.

While at the same time thinking of things from days gone by.

He taps the pouch , now safely in his pocket and thinks aloud*

~ I suppose any number of things can wound, Especially fire... ~

~the girl glares over the person that was talking to them and slapped the guy in front of her, "SEE!! they follow you around even here!" she yelled and walked away leaving the boy all speechless and numb "Not again, she.." He looks over at the guy and asks "This is your fault, just who the heck are you and what do you want?" He asked.

Being speechles she sighted and responded with a lighter more calm voice "Uh, she broke up with me cause i joined a gang... all of the sudden i became their leader for reasons i dont know my self, and now that i want out, they wont let me, so i wanna leave this area and become a seaman, i dont think they can follow me there, but that wont make her happy either"

*Moving away from the sailor, Haji slips in behind some crates and removes a small box. He opens it to release a portable Gigai, and slips into it. Getting used to the feel he thinks*

~ These Disposable things are handy but so Damned irritating... ~

*Getting settled in, he steps out from behind the containers.

Just as he starts to move, he steps directly in a young woman, knocking her down.

Surprised and stunned, Haji extends his hand to the young woman and says*

"My apologies Miss; I did not see you there.

Please allow me to help you up."

~Still shocked from her fall she buried her head over her folded knees~

"Sorry... i just... cant hold it anymore" She cried and cried and didnt take the mans hand at all

"Its complicated" He sighted "Its kinda like yakuza too, if you leave, you leave in a box, and equality is a rule, fault of one, fault of all, so if i leave, they will disband, and or i get killed, but they're not taking that action yet"

*Kneeling down in front of the young woman, Haji looks very closely at her,

With a gaze that locks one in place as if freezing the blood.

He smiles wryly and says*


"Can't hold what in anymore? Would you feel better if you spoke about it?"
