Reminiscing (Karel)

The man know as the Tattooed Bount strolled aimlessly through the streets in the dead of night. He was deep in thought as he roamed around the high school. He looked up at it, remembering the houses that stood in its place over 100 years ago and the people he would befriend before leading them off to his doom. He thought about the lives he must have ruined to fuel his own power and blood-thirst. "If I could apologize...would I?" he asked himself as he gazed at the moon.

The clouds in the sky changed and shifted as they turned into a rose design in the sky while the moon seemed more radiant at the same time. The wind seemed to pick up as warm gusts traveled through the night like a sea breeze on a hot summer day. Karel walked around the base of the high school as she seemed to have no rhyme or reason as to being there. her reitsu was completely concealed, a trick that took her a good while to learn, and her shikai was in her pocket with the ribbon tied to her belt loop. She was a short girl, about 4'6" and her skin was white like snow. She was well endowed as a woman, and she had an athletic build for a girl her height. Her eyes are hair shined in the night as both were silver and radiated a magnificent shine. She was dressed in a pair of tight blue jeans and her shirt was a Hawaiian button down that was opened up with her bikini from when she was at the beach earlier.

Drake noticed the cloud formation but thought nothing of it as he began to feel the urge to absorb a soul. He wandered a bit longer until he came upon the gate to the school. He looked up and leapt over it with ease. "I wonder if anyone is still here?" He thought as he searched the school grounds for an easy 'meal'.

Karel sat down on a bench at the school and tilted her head back as she stared at the moon above as she let the rays of the moon hit her. She loved the feel of the breeze on her skin as she sat on the bench. She hummed an older tune as she sat there, she didn't have much to do, but she liked doing nothing for once. She was for the most part like any other human, other than the fact she had silver hair*

Drake walked around searching desperately with no luck. Just as he was about to give up his icy blue eyes caught a glimpse of a girl....with silver hair, it was something totally new to him as he went in for a closer look. He could see her pale white skin and petite little athletic figure better as he drew closer.

Karel looked at the man that was coming, she couldn't see what he looked like, so she just smiled and stood up looking at him. She waved at him as she began to stretch a bit as the light hit her face and stomach.For a human she was different due to not only the eyes and hair,but her reitsu had a different scent upon her. Karel spoke to the man in a voice that also was different from a nomal human's, it was layered lightly in reitsu that was both cold and warm along with being sweet at the same time*"Well hello there sir, what are you doing here?

Drake didn't answer for he was in a predator like state, and at the moment she was the prey. He saw the 'human' girl as just a soul he would be relieving from its shell of a body. "Don't...she probably has a family," he thought deep in his mind but his body continued to stalk forward.

Karel smiled at the man, even though he didn't speak, she knew she could handle him if he tried to pull anything funny. Karel looked at the man calmly as she began to put a hand in one of her pockets, it was were she had her shikai hiding, a simple paintbrush.but to him it would just look like she was putting a hand there for sake of putting it there. She could feel the man's reitsu, and she would deal with him accordingly if she needed to.

Drake stopped in confusion and lifts his head revealing his icy blue eyes and speaks, "Why do you not run? Are you not afraid?" He asked the girl out of genuine fascination.

Karel smiles as her eyes flare in response to your icy hues and nods. This man was interesting, and most likely to be a bount by the looks of his reitsu. She stretched a bit in preperation, but made it look like a yawn and in a voice layered in reitsu*"I have seen no reason to be scared, should I be."*Her eyes were sly as she looked at you, she wondered as she looked at him, what would this man do....

"Hmm I have live for many years and one thing I've learned is that human are always in constant fear but you....seem different." He backed away slightly as he began to feel uneasy about the girl's presence.

Karel smiles innocently as she looks at Drake calmly*"You refer to me as if you weren't one."*She says this slyly as she moves closer to Drake slowly as her long hair that reached the back of her legs flowed in the air. Karel was interested in this man, but she kept a hand in her pocket. She had to act it out a little longer to see what this man was going to try to do. She had no problem if the man looked at her differently, most people did, most because of the fact her shirt was almost never buttoned, but also her eyes seemed to chill people that looked into them.

"Hmmm I think you know what I am....and I must say you are a crafty one...you are the second spiritual being I've encountered that can full hide reitsu" He said after deep thought. He was actually going on a bluff to see how she responded if she elaborated the she was a shinigami but if she saw Drake as a mad man the she was once again the prey.

Karel almost smirked, but resisted the urge, she had to be careful, she wanted to keep the charade. Karel raised an eyebrow and looked at Drake oddly*"[color=blue]Well I've never heard that kind of response before, what are you talking about[/color?"*Karel was a good actress for the most part. She circled Drake calmly looking him over for weapons, but the way she did it made it look more like she was checking him out.

He felt even more uneasy even though she passed his test there was something off about this girl. He held up a hand and his tattoo-like doll slithered around it then back down his shirt. "Is the what you are looking for," He pressed on with his intuition which told him she isn't a normal person.

She blinks as she looks, well even as a shinigami, she had to say that was unusual.Karel put a look of surprise on as she looked at him. Karel got closer to him and looked at him cooly, the scent of her reitsu like cherry blossoms, but with something else cold behind it. She looked at Drake calmly and looked at his hand curiously*"What in the world was that?"*Her eyes were wide with curiousity as she looked at his hand and arm looking for the markings.

He shook his head at her persistence but felt the urge to tell her what she asked "That was my doll...Ink and I would stand to close if I were you." he sighed and spoke, "Now lets drop the games....what are you?" He asked, nearly demanding her to tell him.

Karel smiled as she back up a bit while taking her paintbrush from her pocket and in the air she writes the name "Karel" in the air*"I am the most powerful human you will ever know."*She chuckles as she looks at Drake and smiles cat-like as she let her reitsu be felt , her reitsu above the strength of a normal captain from the Seireitei.*"Now the question is...who and what are you...?"* She smiled as she circled him again

"So you are shinigami....as i thought and I am a bount.... that's all you need to know." He said now a bit more defensive, and edgy.

Karel chuckles as she flicks her wrist behind her and a swing set appears and she sits on one beginning to swing on it smiling and looking at the moon, her hair flowing as she did. She ignored the fact he had gone defensive and simply smiled at him, nothing more nothing less, and as she did this, she completely hid her reitsu again, she did not need every hollow in the area coming over here. Karel finally speaks in a kind tone*"I have no quarrel with you Bount, you are welcome to swing with me if you like, I promise I'm not up to anything, I swear by my hands.."

He was a but cautious but there was something about her smile that reassured him of her true kindness. He want over and sat on the swing she had conjured up "It's Drake, Drake Nightingale, and what is your name shinigami?" He asked as he swung.

She smiled and laughed, she had already spelled it out, but oh well. Karel waited a bit to answer, she was enjoying the feel of the wind upon her skin. Karel finally answers as she looks at him with her silver hues.*"Karel Trivalia, 7th Division Captain, The Artist Shinigami."*She giggles a bit, as it would probably be hard to believe that she was a captain, but oh well. Karel Waited for a response with a kind smile as she swung high in the air. She had no intentions of hurting the bountou, she was just wanting to talk with people.

"Artist, huh? I've dabbled in such thing in my life." He added and pointed at the side of the school building where the shadows bent as his fingers guided them to create a temporary portrait of her from the bust line on up. "I've learned from some of the best artist of all time," He continues.

Karel smiles as she nods, no doubt he had, and he envied him for that, but she had her own power*"The difference between you and me then though....mine capable of staying forever...."*She draws marks into different parts of the air and in an instant a flock of sparrows flew from where she was drawing into the air and away towards the sky. Karel smiled, while she never learned from the best, she at least was greater in her own aspect.

"That is very impressive, living art....hmm now I can honestly say I have seen anything," He joked as the portrait started to fade and turn back into a normal shadow "How did you come across such a skillful ability?"
