Nakamura sat down at and let out a sigh. Her and Barako (and the not yet created 3rd Seat) had spent most of the morning and afternoon preparing for tonight's Sake Party. 5th Squad were famous for throwing the best Sake parties, capable of rivalling 11th Squad. Though 11th Squad Claim this simply because they always turn up!
So in 5th Squad Assembly hall had been decked out in its usual party attire, cushions everywhere for seating. on of the unseated officiers had even brought back some gifts from the real world... something call a "Bean Bag". He'd explained to Nakamura that humans used them for comfortable seated so she thought why not! They'd out done themselves this time though, they had actually collected enough sake together to stack them up and line all 4 walls in pyramids! (Still keeping plenty out back, as Nakamura is aware drunken accidents happen!)
"Well we're ready on time, 11th Squad will probably be getting here soon as they always like to get hear before the official opening time, just to get here before the other squads!" Nakamura said out loud to one of the 5th Squad officiers chuckled and nodded, remember the time 11th Squad arrived En-Masse for the first party and they hadn't even finished moving all the tables into the hall!
Nakamura looked around "Hey where's Barako got to?"
-----------------------------------------------
Ok guys this is simple. Not all RP is about combat so lets show off our characters hanging out and having fun! Although because of the setting Shinigami only please!
I want no fights (maybe a friendly drunken one, but nothing serious or long) this is about chillin' out and relaxing and getting into your characters personality.
So come on guys... DRINK UP!

"I'm here!" The lieutenant in question replied, trotting into the scene with a bounce in her step, per usual. She had another bean bag held up over her head as she trotted along, soon tossing it over to the rest of the floor-level furniture. Said bag of beans hit the boards with a less-than-comfortable-sounding crunch.
"Heheh..." She glanced around at the wine-lined walls hall, smirking mischievously and talking sarcastically. "Gee, Ai; I don't think we got enough drinks!"

Nakamura Closed her eyes as the crunching sound was heard, a couple of seated officiers Jumped to set everything so it was set out neatly again.
With that Nakamura looked up at her fukutaicho with a smile.
"I know... Jyuuichibantai-Taicho loves her saki! this should be enough for her lot, We've got enough in reserve for all the other guests."
Nakamura took a quick look over the hall, then suddenly looked back at Barako with a slightly concerned expression.
"Is the Kido display team prepared? Do they all know what they've gotta do this time, it's got some difficult spells in this one, and some tough choreography are they prepared?"

She nodded, giving her captain the thumbs up and an overconfident smirk.
"Of Course, we did a mini-rehearsal and everything! Don't worry; everyone's ready for it!"

"Phew, D'ya think I'm just getting over stressed, I'd best calm down!" Nakamura said then flopped down onto a cushion and pulled out a bottle of Sake and a cup from her sleeves. She poured herself a cup and drank it all. (the cup being a japanese styled shallow plate type affair ) She looked up to Barako producing another cup and offering it her. "Shall we start early, Bara-chan?"

Louh stood in front of the 5th squad assembly hall.
He wondered if he should be here. The word was out that there was a party going on. "Open to all squads," said the rumours. But Louh wasn't sure if he should go in. He was just new, a low-seated officer. Most likely everyone inside would be old friends. Would it be rude of him to interrupt?
Closing his eyes, he took a deep breath, swallowed his nerves, and stepped inside the assembly hall. Not far, he didn't wish to cause offence if his presence wasn't welcome, just far enough in to get a look around and be noticeable.
Two women were sitting on weird, bulky things he didn't recognise, sharing a bottle of sake. One wore a captain's jacket, and the other was her lieutenant. Though he wasn't very good at sensing spiritual pressure, he could tell these two were extremely powerful.
He stared at them foolishly, unsure of what to say.

(Entering with Myouki Ayame - of course!)
Ayame sighed gently to herself. She rubbed her eyes, sore from a restless sleep. Even though the hour was reasonably late to be asleep, Myouki couldn't help but feel drained because of her weaknesses. Her skin was unusually flesh coloured in contrast to her average page white porcelain complexion. She coughed lightly and stared at her surroundings. She was still at her 9th Division office; she had fallen asleep, face-planting herself straight into the recently completed paperwork in front of her. She supressed a laugh at her own expense; she really did fall asleep at her desk a lot... Myouki stared at herself in the nearby mirror. She removed a stray eyelash from her cheek and smirked. She ran her fragile fingers through her hair blissfully, casually diminishing any knots caused when she dreamt. Don't forget, Ayame. Myouki spun around and faced her beloved zanpakuto, Joukaiken. She smiled with kindliness, and reached over to stroke his hilt gently. She grabbed the scabbard, twirled the sword in the air, and slotted in in it's place by her right side. Don't you worry about me, Joukaiken. I may not trust myself as much as I should; but I think I can survive a little sake party she transmitted to her katana. She felt as if her blade almost sighed. Joukaiken was extremely unusual as a zanpakuto; one of the only ones to have a completely different personality to those who obtained them.
After a couple of miles of flash stepping, Myouki finally arrived at the 5th Squad Assembly hall. She saw a shinigami enter the doors - 12th squad if she was not mistaken. She smirked sweetly to herself, and rushed over to the entrance to join him. "Nakamura-taicho, Bara-chan. Seems like I'm slightly early..." She turned briefly to look at the 12th division shinigami with a beautifully pleasant smile. "Hey there. I don't think we've met. I'm Myouki Ayame, kubantai-fukutaicho. And you are?"

"Oh! My name is Peishin, vice-captain!"
He bowed quickly, keeping his eyes on the floor. The vice-captain had surprised him, and he hoped she hadn't noticed his embarrassment.
When he felt he had it under control, he straightened.
"I came for the party, but I don't know anyone from 5th squad. Actually, I don't know many shinigami." He scratched his chin and chuckled. "I guess I'm a bit of a loner!"
Damn! Why did he have to go and say that?
He laughed nervously. "Anyway! I brought some sake as a contribution." His eyes wandered around the room, noting the pyramids of alcohol arranged against each wall. "It looks like there's plenty already though."
Don't be rude, Louh whispered his zanpakuto. Offer her a drink.
"Would you like one, Myouki-san?" he asked. "We might as well get started now too."

"Are 11th Squad here early as always? No wait isn't that Myouki-fukutaicho come on in ,come on in and bring your friend there with you, is he from 9th Squad too?"
before the pair had even reacted she'd already poured 2 cups of sake for them at empty places in front of her and refilled her own and Barako's. (even though the places directly opposite Nakamura and Barak were normally reserved for the 11ths Squad Captain and Lieutenant so they could banter. Actually less reserved and more they got first dibs coz they were normally the first there, so Nakamura thought it'd be ok.)
Nakamura had the most welcoming pleasent smile any shinigami unfamiliar with her had ever seen while she poured and waited for the early birds to take their seats!

[Entering as Xei Haruhoko. Horray! This RP finally got activity!]
Xei walked along the street of Seireitei as he gripped the hilt of Hitokiri, his zanpaktou. As a spirit born from Xei's sense of loyalty to his father and his father's influence, Hitokiri's ideals sharply contrasted with Xei's own ideals. Due to this they were sometimes at disagreements about how a mission played out and which method would have been the best way to solve it. Hitokiri's ideas were usually more violent than Xei's. Drastically. They were just having an argument about one of Xei's previous missions when Xei allowed a hollow to escape after a fierce battle. It had held a human as hostage as the Negacion fell down from the sky to save the hollow. Hitokiri was disappointed with Xei for not rushing forward and killing the hollow at the risk of the human's life.
After some argument, Xei was able to corner Hitokiri in the debate and now Hitokiri was pissed at him. Xei's left eye twitched as Hitokiri's voice kept intruding into his thoughts. They weren't even relevant, mostly consisting of single words meant to annoy Xei.
Xei kept his pace brisk and spotted the gates of the 5th Squad's barracks. Once he got close, he hid his anger and put on a more cheerful demeanor and entered the room to see a few people already there.
"Good evening Nakamura-san." Xei greeted as he stepped into the room. "I've been having a trying day today." He confessed as he rubbed the brow of his forehead with his fingers. "I need a drink to get over all of it." He said as he sat down next to Nakamura.

Louh sat at the table, quite stunned to be drinking with a captain and two vice-captains!
He accepted the sake that was offered to him (quite dazzled by the captain's beaming smile) and put his bottle on the table, presenting it to the captain as he assumed she was the hostess. The rice wine was just sliding down his throat when a fifth Shinigami sat with them.
This one was a happy sort, though Louh sensed as much from the tone of his voice as his words that he'd had a stressful day. He obviously knew the others, and so Louh simply held his tongue from asking questions and waited for the man's friends to do so and offer their comments.
He did, however, refill his glass. Problems, even if they belonged to someone else, always looked better through an alcoholic haze.

Myouki took Nakamura-taicho's offer, and seated herself down on the place that she had indicated to. She returned Nakamura-sama's unbelievably pleasant smile, but with a shy and appreciative effect and graciously accepted the cup of sake she was offered. She gave Peishin-kun a sweet glance, and sipped her rice wine, holding her cup with a calm gentle hand. He obvious was exceedingly shy; probably more so even than herself. Something about his personality made her smile inside. Myouki froze when she heard her taicho speak. He always seemed to scare her from out of nowhere; but of course she was more careful to listen for his voice this time - she knew his fondness for sake after all, especially after a hard day like this had been.
Myouki swivelled around to face her captain with a certain sense of grace, and stood in pure respect. "Ahhh... Haruhoko-sama... I'm sorry I went off again. I finished my paperwork so I... I thought it would be alright to spend a while unwinding. I'm sorry..." she shyly nodded her head several times. She kicked herself inside, why did she have to go off on her own so much without telling him? Why did she always have to act like a pathetic shy idiot in front of him? Smooth, Aya-chan. S-mooth. Joukaiken sarcastically joked to her in her mind. She bit her lip in a light fear. "Ah...gomen nasai. Peishin-kun, this is Haruhoko Xei - kubantai-taicho. Haruhoko-sama... this is Peishin from 12th Squad. She bit her lip once again. She apologised to damned much these days... she looked up to Xei, but looked away to avoid his warm glance, before sitting down with a paranoid grace.

[Note: I'd got the numbers wrong in my previous posts, now edited... Ai was assuming you were both from the same squad]
"oh, 12th... I see, my mistake..." Nakamura muttered to herself.
"Well well, this is most unusual. Kubantai-taicho and fukutaicho arriving before 11th squad. I hope something bad hasn't happend to Mizuki ot her subordinates to make them late."
When Nakamura said late she meant later than usual, as the Party wasn't officially meant to open for some time but 11th Squad usually turned up long before the doors officially opened. These were relaxed gatherings anyway so 5th Squad never turned anyone away for being early anyway but it was quite rare for any other than 11th Squad to show up so early! After a brief pause pundring this Nakamura said.
"Anyway you two sit down, no need to be stiff, we're all friends here, those comming to this party are here to have a good time!"
while saying this she refilled all the sake cups and poured another for Xei set down next to where Myouki. (though she didn't mind if they switched places, if Xei wanted to have a Captain to Captain chat.)

Peishin watched with interest as the vice-captain apologised to her captain. She seemed shy, which surprised him. With power like theirs he'd always thought captain and vice-captains would be hugely self assured and confident. Maybe they were more Human than he'd realised.
"Haruhoko-san, nice to meet you," Peishin bowed his head slightly. "I must say, it's quite something to be surrounded by such high-ranking officers. I feel like I should be fetching your drinks."
Realising that Nakamura-san was worrying about her 11th squad friends, Peishin turned to her, draining his cup and refilling as he talked.
"I wouldn't worry about 11th squad, Nakamura-taicho. I have a friend in that squad and she told me she was going to gather a few squadmates and get the drinking started in their barracks before joining you over here." He paused with the sake under his nose and grinned. "Knowing her, they'll be a little drunk by the time they arrive. She has this wild party game called King of Kings and nobody walks away from that sober."
OOC: any suggestions for translation of the name "King of Kings?"

(It's all good, if the seat next to Nakamura is taken)
"Ahhh... Haruhoko-sama... I'm sorry I went off again. I finished my paperwork so I... I thought it would be alright to spend a while unwinding. I'm sorry..." She shyly nodded her head several times.
"Ayame-chan, if you keep acting that way, I'm going to eventually resign as a captain just s I can have a normal conversation with you..." Xei said with a weak smile after he sat down next to his fuku-taicho.
"Haruhoko-san, nice to meet you," Peishin bowed his head slightly.
"Peishin, eh? Very nice to meet you. Sorry if you have to see me like this, but I've been having a rather off day." Xei said as he accepted the cup from Nakamura. He stared into the cap and saw his reflection on the surface of the sake. His eyes had dark outlines on the bottom and he really did look like a wreck. He really needed some sleep. These past few days have been loaded with paperwork and Xei was constantly saying up all nice filing work and giving mission reports. Even with the help of Ayame, Xei found himself getting only 1 or 2 hours of sleep each night.
"Well well, this is most unusual. Kubantai-taicho and fukutaicho arriving before 11th squad. I hope something bad hasn't happend to Mizuki ot her subordinates to make them late."
"Oh no Nakamura-san. I was actually just talking a walk to refresh my head. I just happened to come across this party by chance. If I hadn't I would be back in my office filing even more paper work....." Xei said as the enthusiasm of his reply plunged when he mentioned his paper work. "Ugh...... all this stupid paper work.... It's like I need to file a 5 page essay on every hollow my squad purifies...." Xei complained as his face fell down and banged against the table top. "I think I'm just gonna get wasted tonight and forget about my troubles for a bit...." he moaned as he extended his arm, asking for a refill.
