Expllo — Roleplayer Guild

GM Update 1.0

Guidelines

#1. Given the number of players we have as well as being in the beginning phases of this system, only two missions will be active at this time. Three PCs per mission, plus an additional pc on a mission. As we get used to playing in this system, I’ll allow the group to spread thin more.

#2. Each of you vote, ooc, for two missions you would be interested in playing in. Please place it in order from most interested to least. Afterwards, I’ll be deciding who goes where based on skill set and RP reasons (I.e a stealth mission would most likely take a silent character over a character that likes exploding things). Later as the game goes on, you will have more say in which missions get picked IC-Wise.

#3. There will be a separate IC for the Main Missions. You can still freely post and collaborate as you’d like in this IC as long as it takes place before the Main Mission. Meaning, nothing in that thread should be referenced until after the mission is completed. I will be providing dates to help us all keep track of what’s going on at which time.

#4. For those of you still interested or new, curious if you can still join at this time, yes. It isn’t unheard of for the Gotei 13 to send reinforcements out to missions or people to scout for information. I’ll be able to fit you in, somewhere, just be wary you may not have a say so in where as I’ll have to fit it in narratively.

#5. You may recognize some companions [NPCs], some you may not. You'll be able to vote on which NPCs will accompany you on missions later on, so take the opportunity to get to know them and their abilities in order to help you down the line.

#6. I’m hoping to advance things Saturday, however, I’m giving the entire weekend for you guys to decide since I should have had this up earlier. I’ll be announcing who gets picked either in a separate GM post once decisions have been made or when I make the new IC.

Changing Nature

Setting: Rukongai, 90th District, Forest, Cavern
Companions: [Lead] Akaino (4th Seat - Squad 7), Sio (4th Seat - Squad 4)

In an attempt to restore peace within the Rukongai, more resources have been sent out to fulfill the requests of souls within the deeper districts, no matter how minimal. The people of the 90th district have reported sightings of a weird glow at night, followed by the disappearance of various villagers. Bandits or a serial killer are believed to be behind it. Dispatch of them and Restore Relations within the 90th District. (Diplomacy and combat is recommended)

Tower Of The North

Setting: Hueco Mundo, Castle
Companions: [Lead] Aya (3rd Seat - Squad 2), Deimos (5th Seat - Squad 5)

Not too long ago, an abandoned castle was discovered in Hueco Mundo awaiting further inspection. Recently, energy has been said to be emanating from the castle in the northern tower drawing hollow towards it. Find the source and assess the danger, and if possible, clear the northern tower of all hollow. (Stealth and combat is recommended)

Snakes Without Sin

Setting: Human World, Shipyard, Warehouse
Companions: [Lead] Mei (4th Seat - Squad 13), Rio (5th Seat - Squad 11)

Similarly to the second mission, energy from within an abandoned warehouse has been drawing hollow to a Shipyard. Slay the hollow and protect the living souls else they will be slaughtered, and then find out what the energy source is. (Combat recommended)

Asami, Umeki, & Aya

An Expllo and @RevekaRed collab!

Umeki leaned against one of the four beams holding up the pavilion. His face now wore a neutral expression as he watched the new graduates flock around his peers. He remained unbothered, as this was the situation he hoped for. Not everyone deserved to be in his Squad, and he wouldn't play nice like the rest. That's why it was a shock to him when the smallest person here approached him, and so bluntly at that. His face morphed back into that intense, bizarre, stare as he bent his body forward almost unhuman-like in order to match her height. His face was mere meters away from hers, staring daggers into her eyes to gauge her reaction. "And what the fuck am I supposed to do with that information, Asami? Kekeke~" His eyes would shudder for a second. "You're a bold one coming up to me, ain't ya?"

After introducing herself with a bow and staying in the position for until he would address her is when she would raise from her position. When she had raised, she noticed just how close he had gotten but it didn't stir her like she expected it to. She assumed it was her curiosity that was keeping her from recoiling away from the man who, in her mind, was seeming almost like an insect with his behavior. Asami was annoyed by how he addressed her, however, which made her flat expression turn into one of disgust toward Umeki as she continued to look at him. She was very expectant of people not liking her in the same way that they didn't like her during the Academy but she stayed strong in her stance and would allow others to continue to paint the picture of them that they had in their head of her. 

"Bug." She said in an almost faint whisper, not even realizing she had let the thought out that he reminded her of a bug but as she stood, it seemed like she didn't even acknowledge that she even said it as she stayed staring at him almost like she was doing a staredown battle with her eyes before she would inhale to compose a slightly better answer than what she could have given if she was at the Academy because she was indeed in front of a Captain and they had to be competent in their position in order to even have it to begin with. "You seem competent enough for someone to follow. And you're creepy." She said a bit more in a normal tone while still retaining her bluntness and harshness to her voice. Asami wasn't about to brag about her talents as she was sure that some of the captains had been made aware of her capabilities and if he wasn't aware, then she needed to not burden herself with dealing with him. 

	The back part of her mind did keep surfacing through all of this as a young girl squealing and blushing from the close proximity that Umeki was to her that she would definitely have to write about later in her journal that she kept. While outwardly she would restrain this expressiveness of hers, it was still there, just hidden until she had private moments to herself. She wasn't completely blind to romantic advancements, but this moment with Umeki would definitely provide her with plenty of inspiration for a while.

'Bug huh? Well, that was my nickname as a kid. Kekeke~' Umeki thought to himself. A genuine smile flashed across his face as she called him creepy and refused to back down from him. "And you seem annoying, but cute, in a puppy sort of way! Kekeke~" Umeki reached down and pat the girl on the head, before backing away and allowing the girl some space. "So, what's your deal pup? You really interested in this Squad or are you window shopping? You must not know what comes with joining us..."

	When Asami heard him say that his nickname was bug when he was a child, she tilted her head a bit in confusion with a frown on her face as she continued to look at him. She was surprised for him to smile at her but didn't allow her face to change when she saw it which managed to bring her some smugness that she got a captain to smile at her. Asami would pout however when he called her annoying but cute like a puppy before patting her head. It took every ounce of her body to not swat away his hand because while she did enjoy head pats she did not enjoy the feeling of being patronized by the person in front of her. 

	Asami was a bit glad that he had backed away from her a bit as she went back to her stonish expression even though the back of her mind was going absolutely wild with ideas for writing romantic moments. Even though her mind was acting a bit erratic, she was still able to listen to the captain as he asked her what her deal was, if she was window shopping or had any actual interest in the squad. She was a bit put off by him saying that she must not know what comes with joining them which is where the weirdness came back as she went back to being on guard around him even though there was a slight hint that she felt deep inside that she could trust him because as she has learned, you can't always trust outward appearances.

"I'm not interested in the slightest. I just couldn't quit staring at you and your piercings. I like them." Asami said very promptly and bluntly after the captain had asked her. Once again, her boldness with her blunt behavior in the way she talked to people was something else, even if she was being restrained because she was talking to a captain and still wanted to provide him with enough respect that she could. "That's all, sir."

Umeki shrugged at her disinterest in the squad, however, this was the first time he had gotten his piercings complimented. And that's all she wanted to tell him? What was with this girl? He refused to let a new graduate swoon him. He cocks his head slightly to the left. But she was being nice, and the only person to approach him this night, so he wouldn't be a downright asshole. "I appreciate it pup, but I gotta say this social shit's not really my thing. I wouldn't want you wasting your night around me anyway, so, why don't you run and bark along to who you're really here for? Kekeke~"

	Asami was at least honest with the captain about not having an interest in joining his squad but she at least let him know why she was even standing in front of him to begin with, albeit a fairly silly reason, he did catch her eye even if he was creepy to her. She expected to be reprimanded for her answer but only heard him thank her before trying to shoo her off to who she actually had interests with in joining their squad. Again, referring to her as a pup and told her to bark at who she would talk to next, she was annoyed yet mildly entertained that he referred to her as a dog of all things and allowed her stonish and disgusted exterior drop for a second as a smirk came across her lips as she looked at the captain.

"See ya later then, Captain Bug." It was quick, her smirk, but it was there before returning to her frown that she normally adorned before bowing to the Captain of Squad Six and then moving to walk away from him and to the line of students that stood in front of Aya from Squad Two. The only things Asami could note from the interaction from the captain of squad six was that he certainly wasn't as annoying as she thought although he could get on her nerves fairly easily and that her bluntness didn't deter him from the interaction with her. For that, she was grateful but now she was focused on trying to secure a spot or at least notice from the girl from Squad Two and then possibly get food because she was starting to get a little bit hungry.

"Kekeke~ trailed in Asami's wake as she approached Aya. Her spot would be easily secured as not too many were looking to join Division Two either, as they made their high standards well known. There wasn't as much action comparted to Division Eleven, nor did they do as many incursions in the human world as Squad Three. It created a perception of being boring, but that was good, as they needed members to intentionally want to join their squad. Still, enough interest was garnered that Aya was able to have direct conversations with everyone directly, instead of just answering a barrage of questions. Her attention would turn to Asami not too long after she approached. Aya laid one hand on her hip and waved. "Heeeeeey girl! My name is Aya, and I'm the third seat of Squad Two! Nice to meet you!"

	While Asami walked over to Aya, she was a bit weirded out by the sound that followed in her wake but chose to ignore it as she got closer to the third spot of Squad Two. She did notice that not many people expressed interest in Squad Two but did join among the few that were there in front of Aya as she kept a rather flat expression on her face. She seemed a bit more watchful this time as Aya introduced herself when she walked up and Asami gave a quick nod and bow for joining the group, not really having a question yet. 

	The others around her, however, seemed to keep hounding Aya for why the Captain or Lieutenant wasn't there instead of her which made Asami annoyed to hear from them as they seemed to not let it drop. Why were they so focused on the fact that the captain wasn't there? She understood wanting to impress the captain but if the captain had left someone capable in charge, why would you question it? The more she thought about it, the more she became irritated by there incessant questions which she was sure that Aya was probably tired of hearing but seemed very friendly when talking to the others and trying to dismiss those kinds of questions. Asami was definitely not one to mince words, especially when she was irritated. So she said a little louder than the others, "So when can one actually start in Squad Two?" When Asami raised her voice, she could tell she irritated her former classmates by speaking over them but it did manage to get them to quit pestering the lady that was representing Squad Two. Also taking advantage of the fact that they were finally quiet, Asami did step forward and bowed to Aya more properly this time. "I'm Asami, miss." She introduced herself to make herself known to the young looking woman in front of her. Asami may have been a lot smaller than her other classmates, but she was for sure more blunt and ballsy than most of them.

"Well it's very nice to meet you Asami!" Aya smiled, "I see the academy is getting sloppier explaining things. Well, let's see. First, you have your Squad Ten evaluation missions! We all go through it. Your Captain will determine where you fit best, and you'll generally be sorted that way. However, if you work hard enough and make a name for yourself it isn't unheard of for the Captain to send personal recommendations to the main Squad of your interest. Takehiro is very nice about that."

Aya taps her chin, thinking. "What else, what else...Oh! I remember!" She giggles with a light snort, "Aw, silly me, the reason I'm here. So, while this is a chance for new graduates to meet us, this is a chance for us to spot anyone interesting. So, Asami, if you would like to be on our radar... what exactly interests you about our Squad? What can you offer us?"

	Asami made sure to listen diligently to the woman in front of her so as to make sure to not miss any information she would give that would be helpful to her. She really didn't want to wait for evaluation missions to complete but was glad that she said if she made a name for herself that the Captain would send a personal recommendation for the squad she was interested in. After hearing that, Asami simply nodded before hearing some snickers of the others around her muttering that she's already made herself known as the Ice Queen in the Academy. 

	Asami chose to ignore them and not retaliate like she normally would, showing a lot of restraint today. As she listened to the jubilant female, and heard her question, she wondered about whether or not she should boast of her capabilities but it would most certainly be out of character as she continued with the stonish look on her face not ever wavering the entire time. 

"Most of my capabilities would be an asset to your squad and would fit most perfectly to Squad two." She explained as the young woman before thinking of anything else she could say. "And I'm pretty fast."

"That's a very good start so far!" Aya smiled wider, "Buuuuut... unfortunately that's all that is. While speed is definitely a priority for us, we need people who can think just as fast. You need to be able to study your opponent in an instant, weak points and all. If not, you certainly need to be able to analyze it quickly based on knowledge that you've gathered of said target. If I could give you the best piece of advice, it'd be to work on that when you get out there in the field. Now did I remember everything?"

Aya began counting on her fingers, one, two, three, four. She clenched her fingers into a fist. "Yup! Looks like that's all! As for your personal capabilities fitting our squad, that'll be determined in time. But I sure hope you're right! Another pretty girl with bright hair working in our Squad sounds so.freaking.amazinggggggg!" She giggled again, snorting slightly harder this time around.

	Asami mostly just stared at her in a way of like staring into her soul when she told her that it was a good start but that they needed more than that. Even though the woman gave her advice, Asami did get irritated by the belittlement she was feeling from how these people would speak to her. She did understand that they were at least being realistic with them and giving hopefully most of them a reality check for if they couldn't tough it out in their squad but it still irritated her to hear. She was almost thrown back to a moment she had trauma blocked out but quickly phased out of it to stay back in reality and simply sighed as if sounding she was bored of the interaction she was having but that was not the case.

	As Asami kept staring at her, she did keep her gaze not only focused on her but the others around her in her peripheral and simply blinked at her like she was bored of the interaction. But that was simply just her being irritated. "Sure." She said, very restrained through her teeth before bowing to Aya before walking away. Fully knowing that if she stayed any longer, she would have blown up at her, but that's mostly from her being hangry and needing to satiate her hunger.
