What's wrong with these children [Wan/Open]

Carter studied the flier one more time, something about a thing called a wave race. The location was this city and very harbour. He hadn't come to partake in whatever a wave race was but he came to shove the paper in his hands firmly up the back end of whoever was operating this event. He had been minding his own business, enjoying some treats he often didn't get the chance to indulge in at the Gotei Offices when some riff raff and running down the side walk of the cafe he was sitting outside of. One punk almost made him drop his java explosion coffee and didn't even offer a human apology, he just kept running.
As the teenagers ran away they left a horde of papers flying behind them, litter.. Carter could feel his pulse throbbing in his forehead as he picked up all the garbage and placed it in a trash bin. It wasn't until the last piece of paper caught his eye that he formed an idea. The paper read of an exciting event called wave racing and all the young kids of this city seemed to be swept up in it. Maybe he could find out who was in charge and give them some sweet justice for the litter he had cleaned.
Blinking twice the short shinigami was brought back ro the present, noises all around him as teens yelled in excitement, Carter's eyes going to a man walking out on a stage in front of him, the man seeming to be important to the kids. That's gotta be him. He thought, his anger coming back at remembering the coffee that was almost destroyed.
Walking forward he made his way to the front of the crowd and before anyone could stop him he was on stage, his left hand holding the crumpled paper up with righteous anger, "Just who do you think you are, littering all over the streets and ruining honest citizens oeaceful mornings!" he yelled, his tone and anger not at all matching what should be a 17 year old boy.
The man stood with his jaw slack for a second, bringing a smirk to Carter's mouth before he erupted in laughter, making the Carter's smirk turn into a deep frown. The audience erupted as well, following their leader.
"Get lost kid." The man said into his microphone before security grabbed Carter and hustled him off stage. His golden eyes glaring at these youths and their carefree ways.
He was so caught up in his glaring it wasn't until the security guards dumped him that he realized he was two blocks away from the event and he could still here the echos of laughter and cheering.
"Go figure, no one respects anything these days. He huffed before collecting himself and walking over to a hear by pier to enjoy the morning some more.

Wave racing. She had allowed it because it would draw in revenue and people to come to live in her city. But, it had gathered some undesirables and there were too many different minds for her to cover the city with her power. Some of Column A, some of Column B. What she didn't expect though, was a Gotei Captain appearing and starting to shout at some of the damned kids, and then get escorted away by security for shouting at at some damned kids. Humans didn't exactly respect a Gotei Captain, after all. Some didn't even know it existed.
"Shouting at someone to do something you want is not a great way to inspire respect, Carter" Ulv said having stood from her stand and gone over to where he was. Minatumi wasn't to big, and she was fast beyond measure, so getting anywhere was easy. "You are decidedly less drunk than last time we met, and I decidedly less mad than last time. This bodes well for the meeting going somewhere we can both enjoy" Ulv gave a grin and leaned back against the wall. The exceptional power of Ulv - and her glowing sulphur eyes - marked her out as the Vizard protector of Minatumi Harbor. But other than that, what was real and what was rumor was a hard sell.
"So, what can I, do for you, Captain?"

The waves lapped the wooden posts of the pier and Carter could hear gulls in the distance. It was turning back into a peaceful morning, or so he thought when he heard someone walking up behind him, a voice he only faintly remembered that apparently knew him a little at least, a woman voice that sounded almost scolding. He turned around to see a face he couldn't quite place yet somehow seemed familiar as well.
Then she talked about him being drunk and it all clicked, his eyes went downcast almost in quiet embarrassment. Back in a few years ago he was a stumbling drunk, not that he wanted to be, but because a certain demon queen had placed a seal of chaos on his heart that almost killed him before he managed to break free. Back in the dark times the angel had felt like he had fallen off his path, he had strayed from the light and had acted a fool. Here was someone that remembered him as a drunk.
Looking back up he smiled softly, “Forgive me for whatever actions I committed around you when I was that way, it was a dark time for me.... the unfortunate side affect of being black out drunk is that I do not recall who you are and for that I'm sorry. I've been kinda hanging low and out of the know the past couple years.” He said, hearing how ignorant he sounded as he gave such a weak apology, no one knew though of the source of his darkness those days and he refused to go into details.
“ I made a nice show this morning, kids these days. Can't even pick up their own litter or watch where they are running down side walks.” He said, looking back out over the waves. He could feel her power, a vizard, much like his only real friend Landen. So far he only had the one vizard to go off of but if she was anything like his best friend he knew she must be a good person. Then she asked what she could do for him and he chuckled a little, “I'm not sure if there's anything needing to be done for me, I just wanted to get out and see the world outside of wars. I want to see if my plans are even worth pursuing or if the world is unwil-....” He stopped himself, his golden eyes widening a bit as he realized he was beginning to vocalize his plans, plans he had never before spoke out loud.

Ulv's Resolve Flame had a way of soothing people, the powerful reiatsu that came off her making the edges of one's emotion less sharp. The knots of one's emotion less frayed. So it came as little surprise that he spoke about his desires so freely.
"Don't worry, Carter. There is no judgement here. It is a question that everyone must ask. If your current drive is ineffective and useless, then you must find a new one. Living without a a reason to live is the worst way to live in the world. The desire to kill everyone in the world is better than having no reason at all"
Ulv was good at putting forward a show of serenity, despite how she felt most of the time. And so she just gave Carter a warm smile.
"And don't worry about a few years ago. It was a short interaction. You were drunk and loud, so she shouted at you for being drunk and loud, and told you to go be drunk somewhere else. Which you did. And that is the extent of our interaction. I looked into you a bit later, but we never properly met again"

Somehow without knowing him, knowing his hidden goals, she had managed to speak something true to him. He doubted she was meaning to hit home like she had but her words about finding a drive or a reason to live made him think of his goals, his golden eyes turning to look out over the water of the harbor. In his minds eye a giant ship mounted launch pad sat, his eyes going up as the a flaming rocket ascended into the heavens, his day dream ending with a blink that cleared the phantom scene from his mind.
Ultimately his goal was to create a place, a place where the word of Truth could be made into a reality, a place of refuge for any and all beings that didn't want to live on an Earth over run by demons but couldn't escape to other realms, a place where he could harbor them to live in peace while he worked with those who wished to defend against said demonic influences. This dream was a long ways away but for the first time in years Carter finally saw a path toward it, coming back out from the shadows he had managed to grab the captain seat of Gotei's research and development and as he stood idle even in this moment his blind harvesters were evolving into Truths first Listeners. The first thing he needed to secure his idea was a way to protect those he would offer sanctum to and The Listeners were the shield he was developing.
Bringing himself back from his thoughts he looked at Ulv and she smiled, telling him not to worry about a few years back. This woman seemed warm and inviting and as she told him not to worry he almost blurted out why he was a stumbling drunk but managed to hold his tongue, as nice as she seemed he hardly knew her yet.
"Thank you for being so forgiving, so Ulv you seem powerful enough, your energy shows. What are you to this city? a citizen, a quiet protector? I've been wanting to get out and experience the world outside of the wars and this city seems to be bustling with diverse crowds. I find myself lacking a guide around the streets and wouldn't mind making a new friend. I'm in sore need of friends these days." He said, sounding yet again like a fool, his mind drifting to Animum a dear friend he had lost contact with, his old squad that had seemed to drift with the wind, and Landen, the idiot hunter. Out of the group he had only heard from Landen recently and it was an e mail, he hadn't seen anyone he considered a friend in almost two years. It was time for new friends.

"Forgiveness is my nature, Cartner. Don't worry about it, I give it to everyone for whatever they wish. Nobody is too far down a path to turn back. The only issue I have is when that is abused, then my power is given a more malicious tint" there was a flash in her eyes, in her energy, that told Carter however, friendly she was, and however calming her aura was, she was fully ready to rend him limb from limb if he crossed her. A shocking dichotomy that Ulv personally enjoyed. And then, while her head was reading his heart, she picked out a name.
"Animum...There is a name we have not heard for a long time" she muttered, smiling to herself. The woman that Mirja had met in the Seiretei was a big memory, it was the first time Mirja had felt the mentality that Ulv embodied these days. That everyone who wants forgiveness deserves giving it, so long as they ask with their heart, not their mouth. "Certainly, I can guide you about this place. I am the Mayor, here. Mifune, is the quiet protector. Demonica is the..." Ulv let out a giggle as she thought "-less quiet protector. And while I guide you about, maybe you can tell me more about Animum. She was very withdrawn when I met her"

While she spoke he merely noted the tone she had, a woman that appeared friendly enough but wouldn't hesitate should he step out of line. It was a mentality most people would fear but one he found refreshing, people that were so bold about who they actually are were few and far between. The glint in her eyes was full of dark enjoyment for battle that he could understand, no one with power could make it far in this world if they didn't enjoy conflict to some extent. They all fought for one reason or another, but even those that fought for peace enjoyed the conflict that would birth peace. That was the conflicted way of the world.
"Animum" that was all he heard before his eyes snapped back to her and he felt his heart speed up a few notches. He had just been thinking of his missing dear friend and that thought manifested in her name from Ulv's lips. His golden eyes turned to slits as she spoke, " We are not good enough friends yet for ypu to peer into my inner self, I will forgive it this time as it seems innocent enough but please do not violate my privacy in the future." He said, his words taking a hard edge before he turned to look back out over the water.
Animum, the only woman he had cared about more than a friend, the only woman that valued him, the only friend he ultimately failed by sending her away from the Gotei. His left hand came up his chest and his fingers wrapped around the crystal necklace under his shirt. His mind drifted back to the winter festival he had met Animum at, the first time he felt like more than just a stumbling idiot, the snowball fight, and her making him the necklace he never took off. It always faintly felt like her, a small part of her energy living inside of it.
Her words never left his mind, In a way as long as you exist, I too will have hope. Just remembering those words formed a small lump in his throat, it had been over two years since he saw her last and the energy of hers in his necklace felt fainter than it ever had before. He was worried something had happened to her and he could never find her.
Letting out a pent up breath he turned back around, a smile plastered on his face to hide his sadness, his eyes trying to appear cheerful as well.
"Animum was... Is... My best friend, a person I care for very deeply. She has always had issues within herself so it doesn't surprise me that she was withdrawn when you saw her last. When I find her again I pull her out of her melancholy. Now where to first guide? I promise to tell you about her if you give me a good trip around your wonderful city."

"Hey, you are the guy who screamed her name at me. All I did was recognise it, so that is hardly a reason to get all pissy" Ulv replied, clearly a coy and teasing individual when she wanted to be. Although what she meant by screaming the name, would probably require more explanation. As he explained why he screamed it in the first place. "But in all seriousness, never hide your sadness. Never shield your tears. It is part of life, and it tells others that you feel keenly for them. It is no shame to be sad, because that means that you have been happy"
Ulv listened to him, and smiled. It was nice to hear that the woman who blamed herself for so much, had a friend she could trust. Maybe it was not the best time to break his heart, but she couldn't not.
"When you see her next, she will be so very different. Unrecognisable, even. It is here, as it isn't her. Do not blame her too much for what she did, it was her choice" Ulv told Carter, before turning to the city and taking a deep breath. Where to first, he asked?
"No idea, to be honest. Not much to look at yet. Still recovering"

She played off his scolding her and he couldn't argue it or ask her what she met by screaming it at her, it didn't surprise him that she had some ability to sense emotion, or read thought, every one had something now a days it seemed. Next she went on about never hiding who he was and he found he could agree with that a bit. Staying true to ones self was paramount.
As he started to walk with her she didn't waste time dealing him a blow that left him speechless. Her words didn't seem to make sense, Animum would be unrecognizable, how though? What had happened to his friend? How could he even call her his friend if she had struggled in some way and he was absent to help her. His eyes seemed to lose their shine as he thought of her again, she was a troubled woman who had her own demons on the inside and she fought them daily. He knew that back then and still he let her struggle alone rather than be by her side as a friend should.
Exhaling softly he pulled himself back together, over the years carter had managed to do very little of what he wanted to stand for and he had accepted that his short comings had led to certain thing he disliked happening an this was just another on the list he would need to fix. Reason 894 you need to get Rigel up and running you idiot. When this war has ended it's time to start building the reactors. He thought quickly before coming back to the real world.
“If she's suffered in some way and I wasn't there to help I truly am a shit friend, I'll have to find her soon and help her with whatever she is struggling with now.” He said, his left hand gripping the jewel of his necklace before he addressed Ulv's recovering city. “So a vizard is the mayor of a living human city and its just being built up by its appearance. Last time I saw something with this beginning it was with Hayden and his Vastime, I don't know him as well as I would like to but I can offer this advice from what I know of him. He seemed a serious and hard man, a good man, but a hard man nevertheless. If you're planning on ruling something like he has, no matter how big or small, don't lose this warmth you have now. It will guide you very well.”
Feeling awkward as he blurted that out he scanned the streets while they walked, the more he looked the more he noticed this place was in recovery, it was in its fledgling state after all. “I'm not speaking as a Gotei member here, I'm speaking as a singular man. If this harbor is attacked while you're still developing I will come help you defend it. This world has way too few safe places as it is and we can't afford for another to be lost.” He blurted out, smiling weirdly while rubbing the back of his head, he wasn't sure why but he felt the need to protect this place, felt the need to do something, anything!

"To be honest, I have no idea how she is feeling right now. That is something you'll have to ask Magnolia if you see her. All I can tell you is to go with an open heart and judge nobody for the choices they chose to make" Ulv advised, before returning to a meander and listening to him. He gave a talk about how similar this situation was to Hayden, but it was different. He had dreams, and aspirations, Ulv just headed this city because she was here at the time it needed a person to head the city.
"Mmm, I know Hayden. He was down here a few days ago. We had a really nice talk, but our plans are nothing like his. We are multi-cultured refugee sanctuary, so you'll find at least one of every race here, but I feel I am keeping my demesne to this island for now. And as for defending the city...-" Ulv cracked a grin and a twinkle in her eyes implied her sentence before she ever said it. "-Between myself, Mifune and Demonica, we have it covered if anyone wants to come here and start a fight.The terrifying truth of this places defenses is you'd be the weakest of them all. Plus we also got Tiny" She would nod behind Carter and use her Tulpa to spontaneously create her fourteen foot wolf Tulpa. Cranial Endoskeleton similar to a Hollow mask, massive shoulders, teeth the size of a man's hand, claws the size of knives, and some ten thousand pounds of muscle.
"He keeps the riff-raff in line"
