Detention, Saturday, June 30th.

[namelessblade.livejournal.com]

Coming into the Danger Shop for the detention session, Kenpachi was grinning. True, it was his usual sadomasochistic, baby-eating smirk, but there might actually have been some small threads of genuine joy in between those rows of white, white teeth. He was almost out-grinning the beaming Yachiru on his shoulder. The Danger Shop itself, the students would notice, appeared to be a long stretch of grassy field, occasionally interrupted by a shrub here, a rock there. Behind them seemed to be a squabbling little village. Ahead of them, they would find an odd, odd building. Off in the distance, there stood what could only be described as a strange, white fortress.



"My, my, aren't you all the lucky ones," Kenpachi started out, dangerously happy glint in your eyes. "You see, while I'm sure each and every one of you has done something quite terrible to earn yourselves here in punishment, this is the last of any of you I will ever have to see again. They've finally come to their damned senses and realized that this is not the place for me. In other terms, whatever nonsense they were trying to keep me out of has blown over and I can return to the Soul Society. So help me, I never in a million years thought I'd miss it until I came here. And, this being detention, I hope this means I get the roughest, toughest, worst that this pit has to offer, but, getting a look at the likes of you," his eye passed over the assembled students, especially...was that a frog? "I seriously doubt it. Try not to disappoint me."

"This," he continued, sweeping out his arms, "is the Soul Society. A part of it, anyway. This little exercise I've put together for you is like a little situation that happened before I came here, when a group of ryoka thought they could just parade in here and rescue someone. Ryoka...a term used for people who enter the Soul Society that are not dead. Today, you are ryoka. You are here to rescue someone."

"It will not be easy," Kenpachi warned them. "The person you are to rescue--"

"She's a princess!" Yachiru interrupted brightly.

Kenpachi groaned, rolling his eyes. "Fine, fine, this princess you are going to rescue is there." He whipped out his sword and pointed toward the fortress. "The Seireitei. This is the place where Shinigami such as Yachiru and myself reside. A place where normal souls are not supposed to go. More specifically, this princess will be there...That tall white tower. That is the Senzaikyu. In order to get to the Senzaikyu, you must first get the the Seireitei. The only conventional way to do that is to not only get past the guards at the gates, but also any Shinigami that might come investigate the break-in. The first ryoka tried this and failed, but they found another way in."

The smirk seemed to grow. Telling a whole new group of people how to cause chaos in the Soul Society just felt so wonderfully antagonistic. He cocked his head toward the strange house nearby. "Kuukaku Shiba. That's your ticket. You are to go to Shiba, get into the Seireitei, and save the...princess. Don't expect it to be easy. This is just a simulation, but there will be two obstacles waiting for you within. Be prepared. Give me something good to go back with."



Kenpachi waved his hand at them dismissively as he turned and started to walk away. "You're on your own now," he said. "Go."

"Good luck saving the princess!" Yachiru waved at them brightly as Kenpachi lead her away.

"Oh, yes," he said after a moment, pushing off the wall. "That's right. I am ryoka, yes. I do not suppose you could assist me? I need to reach the Senzaikyu."

The boy's arms were flailing desperately. "I could...I could get in trouble for even talking to you! Oh no, oh no, oh no! I can't help you! I can't...oh geez, the ryoka, right here! Asking me to help him reach the...." Suddenly, he stopped. "The...Sen...zai...ky...You need to get to the Senzaikyu? What for? What would a ryoka need to be doing there?"

"Easy, easy," he said soothingly. "It is all right. Truly, it is. You will not get into trouble. Only you and I are here, so no one will know you spoke with me. I need to get to the Senzaikyu, because there is someone there in need of rescue, but if helping me would endanger you, I will attempt it on my own."

The boy eyed Karal carefully, suspiciously, but with a small inkling of hope that he would probably be able to pick up on. "The...only person in Senzaikyu right now...is the princess..."

Re: Step Five : Recovery.

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

"Yes, I know." Well, he didn't know she was the only one, but he was prepared to bend the truth slightly, because he could see the glimmer of hope in the boy. "The princess is who I have been sent to rescue." Karal leaned down a bit so he could look straight at him. "And I cannot leave without her."

"Why didn't you say that in the first place!" The boy flailed again. He was in a very flaily stage of life. Eternally. "If you're going to save the princess, I'll be more than happy to help you! I used to work there, and I think it's terrible what they're doing! Do you really think you can save her, sir?"

Re: Step Five : Recovery.

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

"Karal, not sir," he corrected, beaming at the boy and backing away just a bit so as not become a victim of the flail. "And I am certain I can, especially with your help. Seeing as you used to work there, you can show me how to get in, and that means you will be as responsible for her rescue as I!"

Re: Step Five : Recovery.

[namelessblade.livejournal.com]

"Nononono," the boy waved his hands and chuckled nervously. "They'd kill me if I were responsible, and then you'd be rescuing me instead of her."

Re: Step Five : Recovery.

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

"All right, well, we definitely cannot let that happen. I will bear full responsibility," he promised. "But you can help me?"

"Oh, of course! I know all the secret passages through the Seireitei so no one will come across us, either!" The boy started moving right away, motioning for Karal to follow him and leading him to the Senzaikyu (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/1429660.html?thread=86831260#t86831260).
