An odd meeting (Open)

Draylon was currently in a small park inside the Seireitei, enjoying a book as he leaned up against a tree. The history of Kido, an interesting book. Some of the ways that the kido we use today were developed is ridiculously complicated. Though some tend to extremely simple. There are so many forms of Kido and for so many different purposes. It seems like basically as long as you know how to manipulate your Reiatsu into doing what you want it to do and can apply a ritual on it you can make a kido. At least that explains how i was able to make a kido so easily. Draylon looked up towards the sky and clouds above, pondering kido, when another shinigami approached him.

Shioshi grumbled under his breath as he moved along the Seireitei, a mop in one hand and a bucket of water in another. He sighed as he continued his mopping along that one road, the water cleaning away the dirt and filth covering the ground from years of use. The roads hadn't been cleaned in forever, and so all of the lower ranked Shinigami and many of the Academy Students had been assigned to clean up the Seireitei, no matter how much time it ended up taking them. He rounded a corner and a park came into view, a welcome break and relief to Shioshi, who immediately breathed a huge sigh of relief. He continued cleaning up to the park, and then allowed his his mop to drop into the bucket. He carried the bucket, and therefore the mop, into the park and then set it down next to the small pond at its center, replenishing the water within it. Then he looked up.

He nearly jumped out of his skin when he saw Draylon just on the other side of the pond, up against a tree and reading a book of some kind. When Draylon looked up, Shioshi followed his gaze to see that another Shinigami was approaching, so he took that moment to approach as well, so that Draylon's conversation wouldn't uncomfortable or awkward. "Draylon, hey! What're you doing out here?" he called over to his friend. He stood and walked around the pond to stand at Draylon's side as the other Shinigami approached as well, and he waited for either a response from Draylon or for the other Shinigami to speak.

Kyro Nerra, unseated member of the 5th Division, was glad he had finally returned from a very prolonged trip to the world of the living. With the sights of the Seireitei surrounding him once again, he certainly felt glad to be home once more. He brought his gloved hand up and scratched his head, giving a smile of relief as he took care of the spot that had been bothering him for the last several minutes. Ahead of him, he could see a park coming into view, although it was still off in the distance. Thinking he could catch a bit of relaxation, he picked up the speed, whistling a tune as he moved. Then he saw the Shinigami reading a book.

It was someone he'd never met before, and so he thought he might as well introduce himself. It was probably someone who'd entered the Gotei while he'd been on his prolonged trip to Earth. As he walked towards the man, another Shinigami came over to the first, calling him 'Draylon' as he approached. He called out ahead of his approach to the other two Shinigami. "Hello, Draylon, he called you? And hello to you as well, whomever you may be. My name is Kyro Nerra, and I have recently returned from a prolonged mission to Earth, during which there have apparently been many new additions to the Gotei 13. The pleasure is mine," he spoke, his voice loud and sure. His smile was quite genuine as he stopped before the other two Shinigami.

Draylon looked up from his book as someone approached him and said his name. Looking over he saw Shioshi with a bucket and a mop, apparently he had been assigned to clean the streets, Draylon was glad that he no longer had that duty anymore now that he had gained a seat. He raised his book and said, "Just reading up a little bit on kido creation."

Draylon looked over at another shinigami approaching, who introduced himself as Kyro Nerra and said he had been on a long mission to earth. Draylon put a bookmark into his book and set it down beside him and said, "Hello, I am Draylon Kerosu, 14th seat of Division 12." Draylon looked at Shioshi then at Kyro, "What division are you in?"

Shioshi examined Kyro, not sure what to make of him quite yet. He seemed reliable, and like a good guy. He ran a hand through his hair, thinking over what to say. "I am Shioshi Reinuu, unseated member of the 7th Division. Pleased to meet you," he said, deciding to take the polite approach. Then Draylon spoke, giving his own name to Kyro and then asking what Division he was from. To tell the truth, Shioshi was interested as well, and so he waited, eager to hear this man's answer. It was nice outside, so he closed his eyes and allowed the sun to give him warmth against the cold weather lately. He wasn't really sure what would happen once the awkward introductions were done with, but he believed he'd like this guy, eventually. Hopefully. That last thought caused a smirk to cross his features.

Kyro smiled at both of the Shinigami before answering. "I am from the 5th Division, also unseated, although hopefully for not much longer," he replied, his tone still polite. He glanced at the title of the book that the first Shinigami was holding, and then smiled. "Reading up on your Kidou Creation, eh? That's a very wise move. Why, if I'd studied that a bit during the Academy, then I very well may have been able to create my own Kidou. Tell me, have you managed to successfully create an original Kidou yet?" he continued, smiling the entire time. He turned and faced the other Shinigami at this time now, taking him in now that he'd examined Draylon. Shioshi Reinuu. He seemed like an alright guy.

"Pleased to meet you as well, Shioshi. Cleaning duties, eh? I'm cleared from the smaller duties for now, since I just returned from the real world for an extended period of time. However, once I'm fully rested, I'll see if I can help out, if everything isn't done yet," he said to Shioshi, still smiling. He returned his gaze to the 14th Seat, Draylon. He seemed to have a closer personality to his own than Shioshi, but that didn't mean he couldn't be friends with the both of them. He moved over to another tree across from the other two and sat, leaning up against the tree and motioning for the other two to sit as well, if they were going to talk.

So he is from the 5th? Interesting, since I am eventually going to try to become Captain of 5th. Dray looked up as the man talked about how he could have probably created his own kido, then asked if Draylon had successfully created a kido. Draylon looked at him and said, "As a matter of fact I have successfully created a kido, Hado 20 Arashi-Tomoshibi. The basic concept is simple, I create 10 small orbs of energy that I can control with minor concentration. A very flexible technique, especially effective in combinations, isn't that right Shioshi?" Draylon turned at smirked at Shioshi, before turning back and saying, "I used it to kick his ass once, he could probably tell you about it too." He turned to Shioshi and said, "Couldn't you?" Draylon leaned back against the tree once more, sitting contentedly on the ground.

At the mention of his utter defeat at the hands of Draylon, his face burned red, and he threw him an annoyed look through his eyes. He then threw Kyro a grin to try and hide his embarrassment. "Yeah, I could tell you a thing or two about that particular Kidou. This guy right here beat me up pretty badly before I graduated the Academy. I became revenge driven for a while, until he helped me come to my senses soon after I graduated. I'm certainly glad for that, right about now," he said. As he finished, he gave Draylon a not-so-friendly-punch in the shoulder. He gave him another look that let him know he'd done that on purpose, a not-so-subtle reminder that that subject was still a sore spot. Then he returned his full attention to Kyro.

"Anyways, did you know that mister show-off here wants to be the Captain of the 5th Division some day? He's already seated in his current squad, and so you may end up serving under him in the future," he said, grinning. He remembered when Draylon had told him that, just after showing Shioshi the error of his ways with his want to take revenge for his humiliation at his hands at the Academy. He'd seen what an overreaction he'd made. "Anyways, you wanna tell us what your plans for the future are, Kyro? Or do you prefer not to tell anyone?" he continued. He wasn't sure if his question was a little early in coming, since they were still just acqaintences, but he just couldn't deny his curiousity. This Shinigami seemed quite interesting, so he would have to have interesting plans for his future.
