Back Home For the First Time (Murasaki, Ibiki)

THE BLADE MAIDEN
MURASAKI KAGAYAKU
It had been a very, very long time since Murasaki had set foot even in the Soul Society, let alone the office of the Captain Commander, and in her time that office had been Tsubasa's. To say Murasaki felt just a little uncomfortable here, then, would have been quite the understatement. After all, Tsubasa had been the reason her mother kept her position, instead of having to raise her in exile, and without him she knew she wouldn't have been able to live the life she had. But he was long gone from that post now, and according to Mom, there had been quite the ordeal that had him removed from the Gotei entirely. That definitely made her a little uneasy, since she'd known him such a long time, and she found her grip on Kagayaku's hilt tightening ever so slightly. Dad, this isn't going to go wrong, right? We aren't doing anything wrong here, we even got a meeting.
It wasn't really meant to reassure her father, though, because he hardly needed reassurance, and as she continued her measured steps toward the Captain Commander's office, Murasaki found herself becoming more and more confident with each faint click of her heels against the floor. She may have been a half-breed, the infamous Hanpakuto, but surely the times had changed. It seemed like there were plenty of other people that weren't full shinigami now, or even vizard, though she'd be the first to admit that her situation was just a little different. The problem hadn't really ever just been that she was a half-breed, it was more about her father.
With a sigh, Murasaki glanced around with a hint of discomfort, the knot in her stomach tightening as she realized that she was nearly at her destination. What was she supposed to say? She'd left almost two hundred years ago now, and while she'd hardly ever kept her whereabouts a secret or anything, she knew that just up and leaving was sort of frowned upon. Her train of thought was cut short, however, as she realized she'd finally arrived, and so she took one final deep breath to steel herself, emptying her mind of any stray thoughts and reaching out to both of her zanpakuto for a bit of reassurance. Dad, Keifu, just try to make sure I don't sound like an idiot, okay?
For all her age and all her skill, Murasaki still felt like she was just a kid sometimes, and really, this was exactly one of those times. With a firm nod to herself, she made her way forward, and announced in a firm, clear voice, “Kagayaku no Murasaki, here to meet with Captain Commander Suika Ibiki.” Was that too formal? Probably not, it was the Captain Commander after all. After a second, she realized she hadn't bowed, and fixed that right away. Awesome, she was already giving a great first impression, as if her reputation didn't do that well enough. “I'd sent a message earlier outlining what I wanted to talk about, but thanks again for having me here.” Her language was pretty casual, but there was definitely nothing disrespectful about her tone. That was just how Murasaki talked.
“I've been content to just kind of help out in my own little way for a while down on Earth for a while now. Never fit in here too well, didn't feel like I was exactly welcome or anything, you know? But things seem like they're getting bad, and then I heard about the whole thing with Mr. Unabara, so I kind of just wanted to come and see what I can do to start really helping out, if you're actually okay with having me around, anyway.” Honestly, Murasaki didn't have a clue how this was going to go. She didn't know much about Ibiki, er, Miss Suika, and she definitely wasn't sure how exactly things had changed, if they even had at all. She was really just banking on Miss Suika being a decent person, and her own reputation and demeanor not ruining everything.

Booze helped to take away the strain, pangs and hellish pains of life. It helped cleanse the soul, relax the body and let forth a sense of utter bliss to flush into the mind. And, given the current state of the Seireitei, more of that was needed. Tension, destruction, conflict, and death were always around every waking corner given the unstable nature of this world; so it only made sense that when there was times to catch your breath, reflect and think that one would capitalize on this serenity by making the most of their time with happiness in a bottle.
Which is why by the time that the antsy Murasaki entered into the office of The Captain Commander, there was not a bit of concern washed over her face. And why would there be? The Devil Shinigami could care less bout whatever non-sense occurred in the past. So long as a person had not killed Gotei operatives, destroyed their land or anything else which could be considered betrayal; there was not much on the mind of Ibiki which would warrant beating this woman within an inch of her life or trapping her in some kind of prison.
"Relax. I'm not going to arrest you."
So, it came to be a natural state of fact that those words were all that were needed to convey the atmosphere The Suika woman had in mind. If Ibiki wanted her life ruined? There were a million and one ways to do that with her reach. Hence, she showed a sign of goodwill, rolled her wrist and used her spiritual energy to create a dish. When this dish appeared, it levitated on the mist of her plum reiatsu until it came forth right in front of Murasaki. And, when it did, a strawberry-scented liquior oozed into the dish which was enhanced by the essence of The Captain Commander herself to instill calm, peace and a sense of heightened energy and awareness.
"You look like you are about to die of a heart attack. Have a drink~"
A ginger laugh then left the amber-eyed commander after she herself took a swig of her gourd and guzzled down more of that liquid bliss in a can.
"Eh, don't worry about the Tsubasa stuff. You have nothing to do with what he did, so I won't pin those problems on ya."
Soon after a nonchalant shrug was given, what more could Ibiki really say to that? While she loathed that man at the moment with all of her spirits, what would punishing those close to him achieve? Nothing. That's what. As far as Ibiki was concerned, Murasaki and she had no issues unless she went well out of her way to make the Gotei her enemy.
"But I would like ya help. It's always nice to have extra hands on deck."
With her fire lit eyes squared in on the gaze of this potential Gotei member to be, Ibiki needed to do some digging and figure out just where this woman's ambition laid. So, she'd start with something simple:
"Tell me: what division would you see yourself in anyway? And what would be your ideal position if you had the power to do anything you wanted within our home?"
