A Hint of Things to Come [Murasaki, Fantasia]

"Captain Kagayaku." She'd heard someone call her "Captain no Kagayaku," but that just kind of gave her a chuckle. She didn't blame anyone, her name was super archaic, and she never really got why mom did it that way, but that was besides the point. It wasn't something Murasaki had ever thought she'd really hear about herself, not back in the day when she couldn't go an hour without hearing some sneering call of "hanpakuto" thrown her way. She had to admit, she'd thought about finding all those people who had made fun of her back in the academy and rubbing it in their face where she was now. The thought of them all defeated like that, it brought a little smile to her face, but that wasn't the sort of behavior a Captain should be presenting.

But really... Captain. The haori was really comforting to the former nomad, not out of any softness of material, but simply as a sign that she'd really done something. Of course, Murasaki knew perfectly well that she couldn't just sit back on her laurels now that she'd gotten here. She'd already come up with a fairly long list of people she'd need to talk to down on Earth, but for now she was taking a little time to prepare.

"Preparation," of course, entailed a nice cup of tea as she sat atop a roof, watching the sky idly and dangling her legs over the side. If there was one thing she wasn't too big on up here, it was how...crowded it always was. If she had to put how it made her feel into a single word, it'd just be “yuck.” There wasn't anything wrong with civilization, obviously, it was kinda important, but Murasaki wouldn't really complain if they decided to replace the whole Seireitei with some big yurts. It'd probably be a lot comfier, even if she knew it'd also just be a worse idea than what they had. Oh well, she was just distracting herself, and not with anything useful, either. She had a lot of stuff to do, and as much as she liked to just think about the steppe, she'd rather make sure she had her priorities in order...

Alright! First things first! Um... Probably trying to find a Vice Captain, to be honest. Much as she wanted to jump right into some more pressing duties, the last thing she wanted was to just be wandering around on Earth for goodness knew how long without someone back in the office to keep track of things. Now who would be good for that, was the question... Well, better to come up with the rest of the list first! Second... Probably trying to get the facilities up and running. Pretty the office up, make sure potential new members weren't just walking into a bunch of empty rooms. She had to admit that, if she walked right on into a big office with nothing but a desk, she probably wouldn't want to work there.

“Uuuugh.” Murasaki finished off her cup of tea, then fell onto her back and stared upward. “What to do, what to do...” She couldn't afford to rest forever, she knew that. But a little bit longer might have been alright...
