“..So much. Fucking. Paperwork.”

Inami had practically groaned out in exasperation, grumbling about one of the many things she hadn’t expected to go along with one of demon worlds strongest positions. Being a queen wasn’t exactly simply sitting down on a posh throne and fanning one’s self, instead it was more about working ones ass off and doing paperwork day in and day out, and after inami had gotten better from her illness, she had decided she was sick and tired of the craggy barren landscape that she saw when naturally looking out her window. She felt she needed if for only a moment, to be somewhere that wasn’t full of people that would grovel or bow as she walked by, a place void of people who knew her status, nobility and her title or hell, she even wanted a place that she could just be one of those normal girls who got hit on, and who could smack someone without the judgement of every singe soul in the country. In short, the Demon Queen of Brutes wanted a moment of respite, of peace and tranquility that she rarely got in the stuffy confines of her onyx hued castle, or in her own capital city, Chaos Point.

So what had that left Inami Asthavon with? Well, seeing as recently her feelers had picked up lingering changes in the gotei, how after the battle between shadow fall and the vanguard she couldn’t exactly go to karakura without having some run in with those members, she decided to forgo canada, or japan, and she was skirting any landmass close to china, or russia given she wasn’t in the mood to deal with either radioactive, or more specifically she wasn’t at the moment wanting to deal with gilgamesh, that self indulgen pain in the ass. These thoughts helped her narrow down her options taking some places out of the picture while making her consider other locations, yet after she had gone through this process for awhile, she figured well why should she have to even when she was trying to go to have some extremely deserved R.N.R that she was continuing to overthink things.

Which meant atleast to her, she was just going to appear somewhere and then decide from there as her whim pulled her along. This lead the royal demon to sydney harbor australia. This wasn’t controlled by shadow fall, and at the same time it wasn’t controlled by any organization, and thanks to this it meant she was able to walk along the streets in her shifter form, without any real problems, and she honestly soaked in the feeling of being unknown, being just another person, even with her immense demonic energy naturally suppressed at this point, so she would feel like anyone else. This disguise helped her as she breathed in the crisp air, while she had finally decided as she had been walking down the street that what she was hankering for was some good ol spirits, rather than just sitting around and doing nothing, she was going to sit around, do nothing, and get drunk, that was her master plan.

This led her to the seediest , run down bar in town, where a man had been tossed directly over her head and straight out the door by what seemed to be a demon bouncer. Inami had slid in without a fuss and traversed the beating heart of light that flashed across a dance floor filled with bodies. Bodies which kept moving in time with the techno beat, writhing and grinding against one another in provocative and more so “slutty or risque “ manners, which the Demon Queen had politely ignored after she had wrinkled her nose ever so slightly in a sign of revulsion for such a mundane and “low class” reaction. This wouldn’t keep her though from walking over to the bartender and ordering a glass of tequila, waiting as the amber liquid was slid across the counter to her by the bartender.

She deftly would catch and then tilt the glass to her lips after picking it up, letting the burning yet crisp and refreshing taste fill her senses as she couldn’t help but sit there, and in all honesty wonder silently just why she had craved this so much. To be a nobody who no one even had to look at. This was impotant because in her life she was never a nobody, unable to enoy these simple things such as kicking back and enjoying a bottle of booze. Or joking with someone, she just didn’t get these chances often, which was why atleast for the time being? The Queen of Brutes took a very well deserved sip of tequila and observed.

While not being one for a place renowned for it's heat and dangerous animals, Momoka stepped into the bar dressed in a decent shirt and skirt that went to her knees. Not one for slutty clothing she looked rather nice among the horde of people that were dressed like skanks. When she took a seat at the bar and looked at the drinks menu she saw the one thing that would be her weakness. Peach Liquor and Pineapple juice cocktail, instantly she ordered the largest one she could and when receiving the drink she didn't really know whether to drink it all in one shot or to savor it before ordering another one. Momoka's decision was to savor it as she didn't want to spend too much money here and if she got drunk she could be easy pickings for someone that hated shinigami...if they knew she was a shinigami that is.

The music here wasn't to her taste either, she preferred music more along the lines of orchestral and...anything non-techno and non-dubstep. In fact techno music irked her a bit but she had an open mind and decided to give the music a chance for a bit before possibly leaving and destroying the DJ's music collection. Then she noticed the woman next to her, Inami seemed to be observing those around the place and as she let out a sigh Momoka seemed to both assume and emphasize with her. "The music is a bit annoying isn't it?" she asked, smiling to her and having no clue who Inami was kind of had her set up for a shock if the woman revealed who she was. The shinigmai woman turned in her seat and this was her first time on earth, there wasn't really anything she had to be doing but she'd keep an eye out for information the Seireitei could use anyway.

As she began to heat up a little bit she pulled her fan out and began to fan herself, Green and white coloring the fan as the cool air would cool her down as she sipped her drink. She smiled to herself knowing that manipulating elements was fun...because she could do it. As she looked to Inami again she smiled and spoke again "I'm Momoka by the way, nice to meet you".

“. . . “

Inami had arched one of her brown eyebrows as she heard the other speak. They way they spoke, the way they gestured and nonchalantly sat there, as if they had been on the same plane of existence, on the same plane of power. It amused the royal demon to no end, because in chaya nation? She would have had no other choice than to put this girl down like a dog unless she actually had been someone on equal footing as her, the queen of brutes, the most powerful figure in the whole world of demons most brutal country, a monster with no equal in her lands, one of the four supreme beings just under the demon god that ruled these lands, and her lands indeed were vast, far larger than any normal continent could be considered, far greater than any one man had probably ever laid eyes on, that was the land of demons her home, yet here with the vast majority of her energy suppressed, enough to make her seem like a minor individual someone even weaker than this . . . spiritually powered being besides her.

So yes, she got quite the rush at being unknown, just another pebble in the great river of life, one among thousands, one among billions, the billions that lived on this planet, and the uncountable number of just simply living things that graced this universe, the countless other ones and the rifts that lay dormant waiting to bloom in between. It was a feeling that she was unable to get anywhere else than here, in this backwater bar that reeked of a human stench, sweaty thrashing bodies and the overwhelming mind-culling scent of booze, spirits, the good stuff if you will. Yet as inami swished around the amber liquid in her cup so that the very corners would have spilled over, she quite calmly formulated an acceptable answer, even if she couldn’t mask the strange almost old-world flavor to her accent, and her poise that came from the air of authority that she exuded from every single fibre of her being.

“I am Ash , Imani Ash. It’s a pleasure to meet you Momoka, i do have an honest question right now though.”

Inami had slowly tilted the glass back to her lips, while remaining perfectly poised, from the straightness of her back, to the text-book dip to her shoulders and the nearly imperceptible way that she kept her head balanced in ratio to how her body was sitting. All of these would be nearly second nature knee-jerk reflex’s that came from her having to act like a queen nearly every second of the day, how she instead now adressed momoka with her glass coming to land against the counter with a gentle clink, the liquid inside sloshing around before settling to a calm stillness.

” Are you human?”

Her question would be purposefully placed so that there would be one more thing to back up her weak appearance and low spiritual level. As she thought if she also seemed to not be adept at telling the spiritual races apart from one another, that it would back up her claim that she was ignorant, but there would be clues such as her appearance, which would closely resemble if not perfectly match the queen of chaya, inami asthavon. There was also her name Ash Imani, which if someone would turn it backwards atleast the last name you would get Inami Ash. Instead of Ash Imani. which would just be inami’s first name spelled backwards and her last name shortened by five letters. Further than that though there would be the odd subtly to her faked energy signature, only accomplishable due to the sheer heights she has with zao-ka manipulation, it would seem forced or suppressed, and that would be the only real clue as to what she was.

Finally Inami had leaned back and allowed her lips to press against the glass once more as her feet rested against the bar and she decided to answer the casual remark that initially momoka had made instead of labeling it as rhetorical and just not answer at all, her soft amber gaze shifting to look at momoka as in that moment despite her mask and her perfect disguise one thing would slip. Her eyes would show the immensity of the being that stood before this girl, not through power, but through the sense of unnaturalness, given one of inami’s more famous talents was the latent power of her eyes, and the sheer strength that became possible thanks to them.

”..Honestly i think this music is trash, but thats what this if for aint it?”

Inami said as she raised her glass discreetly sliding another twenty across the bar so that she could get another one for when this one had run out, as for now? She was certainly enjoying it, the day in the sun that she had all but snuck out of demon world to get.

Wed Feb 17, 2016 5:43 pm

Momoka didn't really know what Inami meant with her comment about the music right away but then realized. She kinda had to agree. This bar was pretty bad compared to other ones she had heard about and she really didn't want to spend too much time in here either. With that she finished her cocktail and set the cup down and ordered another one. She sipped her drink and kind of ignored the question for a moment then thought she may as well admit what she was as this Imani girl was the only one who seemed to notice at all. Well maybe the woman had something to tell Momoka that could be used by the gotei.

"Hai, I'm a Shinigami, first time on Earth though...so not sure what to expect." She admitted to Inami. Her confidence with Earth wasn't the best as she had heard some rather bad things about constant fighting from Landen and other shinigami she had encountered that had come to Earth before. But these were Shinigami that had come here primarily for that reason, to fight their enemy's. Hollows and Arrancar might be a big threat to those on earth but there was the case of Demons too. But Momoka never really knew any demons yet. She had no idea she was sitting next to one either so that was a bit of a problem too.

She grew curious as well with Inami, was she human or was she really something else? May as well ask then! "What about you? Are you human?". She smiled to Inami, she'd rather a friendly approach to things over suddenly interrogating the poor woman so she went with the smile and ask approach. There was also the act drunk and kiss act but she only had one drink so far and she really didn't want to kiss another woman. What would her morals say?

She didn't really want to be a bitch though, just asking if someones human or not...but she had her Zanpakutō with her. Who would know that this harmless little fan could change into a larger more dangerous fan? No one would possibly know she was capable to destroying this whole bar with exerting too much effort.Then again with a shikai that could cut through steel anything is possible really.

“Aren’t you a blunt one~”

Inami had said with an amused rumble to her words, it was refreshing to see someone that wasn’t going to “beat” around the bush. She liked that and so as he arched her brows in a manner that made her big brown eyes look especially full. As if she was absolutely apalled that she had been asked such a question, and from that? She would pause for theatrical affects as the bar itself would subtly seem to dim just a tad around the edges, given even without making herself obvious she still was one of the few who could say they were masters in the art of manipulating demon energies and as such? She would manipulate it so that for the moment the two of them while they wouldn’t vanish completely nor would they vanish at all, but through the manipulation of light through the subtle medium of demon magic she’d make it so that her body wouldn’t change if anyone other then this spiritually aware shinigami laid eyes on it, and with that out of the way? She would let out a soft giggle.

Next would come the small batwings and devil tail that would sprout on her body through the demons basic ability to manipulate the body itself, this would obviously show what she was, even if she was doing so in a way that obviously was making a slight joke out of her race. The wings flapping lightly as she took another drink before batting her eyelashes in the shinigami’s direction for the moment, doing so in a way that was coy and shy, but mostly amused and a tad bit sassy, but for now? the demoness would have said with a soft cackle that was marred by an appriciative exhalation as she had taken yet another sip of tequila from her shot glass.

”..Why my good shinigami, i am a tiny weeny demon.”

The way she would say it, would have a puffy tone to it, given she for the most part wasn’t afraid to let the girl know what she was, given if she was stabbed it wouldn’t really be the end for her. Quite the contrary it would just plain suck for the shinigami if they had tried something as dumb as trying to stab her, but for now? She took in the rest of what the shinigami said about being on her first trip to earth, and that was something the demon queen had pondered, wondering just why they would send such a rookie to earth and why they would be specifically wandering in a place like australia. Given australia while not under monsuta control any longer was still deep within the lands that antagonists or the “bad guys” inhabited, it was amusing to see someone so clueless in these lands so she said.

“momoka’s never been on earth?”

The demoness commented as she swirled the amber colored liquid around again in her glass, downing the rest of it and sliding another twenty across the bar for another glass, her amberish brown gaze lingering on the shinigami from the side as she thought for a moment and said in a manner that was light and cheery, but more then that was with the joking humor the demon queen inami asthavon or in this certain scenerio Imani Ash, had maintained this entire time so far.

”..Don’t stab me and i wont stab you okay~”

Wed Feb 17, 2016 10:58 pm

She blinked as the bat wings and devil tail made themselves present, while shocking it was also kind of cool in her eyes. She wished she could do that but then again tails and wings would get in the way most of the time if she had them. Maybe if she achieved bankai she'll have nice wings and a tail but honestly it was a long time away before she would even achieve such a state. She also had to become a lot stronger before even trying to do so but she wasn't in a hurry and would wait for more lessons from Landen before considering herself stronger by any means. She then began to think for a moment, what if this Imani girl was one of those demons that seemed to be friendly to everyone. She heard about them but she didn't think they existed unless they were half breeds.

Momoka then heard Inami speak and she responded with a smile "I'm sure tiny weeny demons can be strong too, maybe we'll get to fight along side each other one day, but I don't really know as I've heard a few bad things about demons in my honest opinion they're as varied as us shinigami and even humans". She then began to think a bit about the stories she heard about demons being a kill everything they see machine. These were very specific on the demons though...but she ignored them now, dismissing them all as myths now as she wanted to get to know this woman better so she could potentially one day ensure demons and shinigami could possibly work together.

Then there was the remark of not stabbing eachother, she found it funny as she wasn't one for stabbing anything. Then again with a weapon that was primarily just not a weapon she couldn't really stab anyone unless it was with a kido. "Don't worry Imani-san, I'm not one for stabbing, more burning than anything really". She gave off the hint she was primarily fire based somehow to possibly give off some sort of edge if the two ever did have to fight to the death.

She then finished her drink again and ordered another, this time she said to add some Mango liqueur as well to not get sick of the same drink over and over. Momoka really didn't like the music, but the bartender was great...perhaps she should learn a thing or two from them before leaving Earth.

“. . . Demons are by nature cruel and vicious. Due to the nature of our homeland and how there are different nations in the demon world themselves though the general mannerisms of each demon can vary widely. So what you have heard is probably not entirely wrong, the majority of our race are horrid creatures that would rather rip out ur first born child and tear it apart and stuff it up ur anus, rather than sitting down and having a good conversation with you. But we are so vast that even the minority makes up a vast amount of demons that just don’t kill left and right, and more importantly actually converse in a civil manner with other races.”

Imani Ash had said as an offshoot, her soft amber gaze looking up at the roof for now, as the queen of chaya had questioned just why there was such a brutal reality. Why there was that reality and yet there was people like this shinigami, to naive to understand that everything wasn’t as varied as she thought it was. She had taken another sip of tequila as the light buzz had settled over her senses, the warm sensation and lightheaded-ness going hand and hand with her buzzed state of being, which could be almost entirely attributed to the fact that she for the most part was a) extremely small. and b) because she was small she had to drink less to get a higher blood alcohol content, and these two factors together? They meant Imani Ash was while not fantastically drunk, but she was getting there in terms of how her head was beginning to swim around.

As such? The demoness had decided to purge a majority of the toxins from her system through her bodily manipulation, making it so that even though yes she had drank a fair amount, she wasn’t quite as hammered as most people would be that had been 3 times her size, and because of this the demoness would have turned over to momoka appraisingly, because this girl had been different then most of the other shinigami, ones that had naturally hated and would slaughter or shun a demon, and instead? This girl was conversing with her talking with her as if she was just another person and on a fundamental level that impressed the demon queen of chaya nation, to the point that she would let out a chuckle as the girl seemed to speak about how they might fight on the same side some day, and that got her giggling for a moment, given the way that the gotei was going now-a-days she’d be astounded if she wasn’t put up on the gates with her head on a spike if she ever went back there, but she’d none the less answer the shinigami’s sentiments with a adequate amount of kindness.

“Honestly, i would love to work with you. You are a fascinating specimen as far as shinigami’s go. However at the same time, the fact is even if im friendly with you i am a demon, and because of that there are certain boundries that are in place, such as if you want to be friends with a demon you can, just don’t let ur superiors catch you because that might be a problem momo~”

Imani Ash answered as she tilted the next glass all the way back downing it as she continued to gulp the fiery liquid that traced its way down her throat, one gulp after the next until this girl decided to speak something about how she was a “fire wielder” as if such a thing mattered to the demon queen, and yet? It was amusing to the point that she would choke with laughter spitting the few drops of tequila she had left in her mouth across the counter before she had cleaned up, uncontrollably partially drink-induced laugher echoing throughout the bar before she said with a gradually widening smile on her face.

“I am many things and you could say i am also a person who wields the flame.”

As the woman seemed to prove that all demons are pretty much brutal in some way or form she frowned a moment but didn't let it get to her. She payed attention to the womans body language a moment and wasn't sure if she was going to attack or just continue talking at the moment. Momoka didn't want to get into a fight right now as she wasn't experienced enough to take on a demon, that's what she thought at least as the horror stories she heard had been on demons that turn experienced shinigami into shredded meat. But she seemed to fool the demoness into thinking her primary method of combat was fire. That meant she could surprise the Inami if she attacked Momoka atleast.

Then she heard how Inami had said she'd love to work with Momoka but it'd probably be best not to do so as her superiors might not approve of such. But the thing was that Momoka had no superiors at this time and she wasn't really keen on having any as she wanted to be strong and not taking orders and doing things that she would disagree with. She'd rather be her own boss and do what she thought was right and right now the right thing was finding allies from all sorts of places. For instance, a demon in Australia. What could possibly go wrong? She sipped her drink, the mango adding an odd sweetness and bitterness at the same time, it was really nice for her, maybe she'd make it for her friends some time. She remained silent for a moment before finishing her drink and looking back to the demon woman and smiled.

"Well I'm not sure how I can be a Specimen, you'd have to capture me first and I'm not keen on being captured right now". She chuckled and put her glass down, ordering some water this time around to wash the taste down her throat a bit. "So tell me, what's the demon world like? I imagine it's either very barren or very very red" she chuckled again seeming a tiny bit drunk as that weird buzz covered her body making her feel a bit numb and light headed but that'd pass by after a while.

“..Not captured you say? “

This girl kept amusing her further and further, given the queen of chaya had come originally here for a drink, and instead? Was at the end of having a full blown conversation with a shinigami and she rather liked how this conversation was going, and little by little? The Queen Of Brutes was opening up, even if this was her enemy someone who she shouldn’t share anything with, she found herself oddly compelled to speak about it, atleast what the demon world was like. And so as Imani Ash had tilted her head to the side she had quickly found herself shifting into using her hands as she began what some would consider to be utilizing her hands to shape and show how this all looked, kind of making the shapes of mountains with her hands at first.

”..The demon world is kinda of inhospitable by nature, it is full of crags and chasms. But more importantly the land itself is just so immensley barren, there is nothing there and. . the only thing that is present is the demons that wander about, but there are some beautiful points about it, such as in the central capital there are massive spires that reach into the heavens themselves. There are immense buildings that span miles and miles as far as the eye can see. But more then that, it is dangerous, and you probably shouldn’t go there. “

Imani finished as she had exhaled and taken another shot wordlessly from the bartender. Palming the glass before she took another sip, the liquid scalding down while in the background some kind of fight had been going on, and she had been honestly ignoring it, as fools would be fools right? Well then a gunshot went off after a minor tussle had taken place and things would slow down as she was of course enjoying a good drink, and hadn’t thought to put up any form of demon barrier or kind of demon magic, and because of that a bullet would end up going straight through her head, her expression freezing for a moment as the blood from her cranium would splatter paint the bar red, and she would fall face first into the table, twitching for a moment while the pain was flooding her body, she had been here for a bloody drink and she had gotten shot in the bloody forehead by a mere human.

Well, she would straighten up as she rubbed her temple and pushed her drink to the side, the irritation of being shot in the head was pretty big, and while the queen of chaya hadn’t killed the individual she wanted to throttle him , wanted to rip him limb from limb and yet? She’d just sit there as the wound closed as if nothing had happened, probably this would of course give away that she wan’t quite the weak-ass that she was pretending to be but still, she’d turn to the girl named momoka and smile before she had said.

”..Lovely crowd aint it?”

Fri Feb 19, 2016 11:47 pm

The explanation on the demon world was very fascinating to Momoka, to know it managed to to have cities was a bit surprising. It was so because if demons managed to be vicious and yet come together to build entire cities she thought maybe they could work with other races. However potentially they could all work together and destroy everything, that could be very bad for business as a shinigami. With that the fight seemed to break out, both of them seemed to be ignoring it and soon enough she responded to Imani. "I don't intend on going there really, I was more curious than anything and it sounds like it's nice in it's own way". As the fight seemed to grow more and more she glanced over to them to see what was going on before seeing one pull out a gun. It wasn't that bad...until she saw the bullet go straight through Imani's head.

Her eyes widened and she stood and the next thing the gunman knew Momoka appeared right in front of him and glared at him, the crowd seemed to freeze at the sight of the rather pissed off and attractive woman. She grabbed the man by the collar of his shirt and then sqiftly slammed her fist into his throat. She was weak physically but the speed of her punch seemed to be enough to make the man collapse gasping for air. She then rushed back to the table and saw Imani suddenly rising up from being shot in the head. She blinked seeming rather shocked at the sight before her, maybe Imani was a bit more powerful than what she claimed to be. Then hearing her comment on the crowd tonight calmed her down a bit and she just smiled, she was more glad that she was still alive instead of being dead with a large hole in her head. As she looked over to the man she punched in the throat and he was still wheezing, well she probably killed a human, or almost killed one at least. The man then stood and managed to catch his breath.

He looked over to them and she glared at him with a rather death inducing look and called out to him. "If you come over here I'll punch your ball sack next". That seemed to do the trick as the man just cleared his throat and walked out. Momoka sighed and looked Imani over and made sure the wound had healed fully. She seemed to be ok and she smiled before placing around 230 dollars on the counter.

"Sorry about the mess, this should be enough to clean it up...and fix whatever damage was done...hopefully". She sighed and turned back to Imani before smiling "Are you alright? I imagine that would have hurt quite a bit". Momoka looked around the bar again and saw everything returned to normal, hopefully no assholes with guns would walk into the bar any time soon.
