[quote=Axel] After the Captain commander had stopped releasing his power, Koatsu pulled himself up from off the floor, barely managing to stand. "Please excuse my disrespectful behavior sire, I just wanted to know your reasons but I knew I wouldn't get it if I froze up instead of speaking my mind but I." His voice cleared up, while his strength slowly returned to him. "Since I barged through the door first and asked you for your reason, then I'll be the first to answer. Unless of course someone else wished to state their reasons for joining first that is." The Shinigami looked at the others for a response before continuing on with his speech, depending on whether someone chose to speak first or not. If someone did choose to speak first, then he would just state his reasons for wanting to join after the latter had finished. "My reason for joining originally was to protect those that couldn't fend of themselves. Now, my reason is to get stronger by any means necessary so that the past won't repeat itself but you probably already knew that, did you not?." Koatsu asked. [/quote] Giovanni had to take the time to catch his breath. the lingering Spiritual pressure was still daunting to him. he hadn't even noticed a Third guest slip into the room untill the shinigami spoke about joining the squad. the overwhelming spiritual pressure had masked the new ones to the point where Gio would have never noticed. It was becoming obvious that the Head Captain assumed they all wanted to join the squad, since two out of three were expressing interest already. If Gio could manage to get a word out to clarify that he only wished to peak with the head captain and nothing more than perhaps he wouldnt get dragged into the shit storm he knew was coming. He managed to stand up but words werent forming in his abnormally dry throat.
