The Seireitei - at the Senkaimon
With a thoughtful gaze he stood at the edge of the courtyard. From up here, the Seireitei didn't look so bad. Well, rebuilding was on it's way, of course. But it went slowly. So many were lost.
A gentle breeze moved his hair. It had grown a little longer, reaching almost his shoulder blades now. His beard had also grown. He still kept ir short, but it had grown in a sense that it covered more of his face, becoming a short trimmed full-beard. It made him look even more like his viking ancestors.
And like some of them he had smiled when he had heard where duty would take him today. Though he didn't remember conciously why. England. London. There was something...whatever. It wasn't important and he didn't care much.
When he heard steps behind him he turned, his armes crossed before his broad chest. Scars from several cuts and grazings where visible. As much a testimony to the past five years as the faint rest of a bruise on his chin, barely visible under his beard. This one was young, not more than two weeks ago, and a remembrance to a sparring fight with a Shinigami named Reyla. The fight itself was a good one, as long as it had lasted, but the situation which had led to it had been another aftereffect of the plague-crisis.
The woman approaching him was also young. But then most of the souls in the Seireitei were, compared to him. Chestnut hair framed a face that could be called cute, weren't it for that blank expression. Her build was slender but looked healthy, and she was a good deal shorter than him. For a moment he looked at her. Then he unfolded his arms and held out a hand.
"Name's Brandt Herleifsen, you can call me Kyojin. Im from the Fifth."
And she was according to his information, from the First. Manpower was spread so thin that members from different divisions had to be put in mixed teams so that their duties could be performed.
"We're going on patrol in London, England. There has been an explosion that laid waste to a part of the city. Humans claim it was a terrorist attack but we know it was because of a Hollow attack. We're sent to search out and destroy these Hollows...cut the losses."
Due to the plague the Shinigami had neglected their duties in the world of the living. Devastatingly so. In some parts the Hollows could virtually roam free and prey on souls as they liked. Now, in the present, although the plague was over, the Seireitei still was far from anything normal, but they had to resume their duties. Protect the balance.
"You're ready to go? Any questions?"
Kyojin's deep voice was in no way impatient, as was his facial expression. In fact, he showed almost no emotion. Like he didn't really care...
