(entering as Captain Tsukimura Mizuki and third seat Osamu)
Mizuki entered the 5th squad assembly hall. "Sorry we're late, the rest of the squad should be here shortly." She said. Osamu walked in right after her holding a box filled with bottles of Sake . "I brought extra in case we run out." Mizuki said as Osamu put it down in the corner. She searched for somewhere to sit, she wasn't used to arriving when some of the seats were taken.

(ok I'm gunna do a bit of description so everyone knows whar is where...) Nakamura was sitting in the middle of a long table on a beanbag with Barako sitting to her right. There were several of these long tables filling the large hall. Nakamura was sitting on the side facing the door (which is the side all 5th Squad tend to sit at these events so they are facing the guests as they arrive) the rest of the seats on that side were empty as the party hadn't actually begun yet. On the other side of the table in the space opposite the empty space next to Nakamura was Peishin, then Ayame then Xei. The walls were filled with Pyramids of Sake Bottles. "You think we'd run out of Sake?" Nakamura waves her empty cup at the walls decorations "And that's just for your lot." Nakamura said with a polite chuckle and a smile. She refilled everyone's cups (which to us ooc look like dishes... crazy Japanese ) and poured 3 more the the 11th Squad that entered, reseating herself so that Mizuki could sit opposite her. "So how's it been Mizuki-chan?" Nakamura asked. As she raised her cup to her in a friendly gesture. (I don't think you can really "clink" these kinda cups though) (Quick note on Honorific for you Lunar. Ai and Mizuki are good friends and fairly close, but not enough to drop Honorifics just yet... So they are on given-name basis which shows closeness as well as using the "-chan" honorific.) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Entering with Ito Katashi 11th Squad Lieutenant] Ito wasn't gunna let the speechless 3rd seat show up before him, he came in roughly the same time as his Squad mates finishing off a carrying bottle of Sake (like the ones Ikkaku and Iba have in the anime, the ones lining the walls are just plain round ones for pouring into cups not drinking directly from). The fukutaicho and the 3rd seat didn't always see eye to eye and often had friendly arguments, but never serious enough to come to blows or disrupt the party's/mission. He finished his sake as they walked in and carelessly threw it away, Luckily there was an astute unseated officer nearby and he managed to catch it before it collided with the Pyramid and knock them over! Once Mizuki sat down he plonked himself down next to her heavily causing his Sake cup to jump in the air, naturally he caught it without spilling a drop. (he's a big lad, sorry I'm still working on his description!) "Hey hey, this party can start properly now 11th Squad are here!" he said as he lifted the cup to his mouth. He then fliped it up once it had reached his lips and and finishing the lot in one go.

Peishin was feeling a little fuzzy on his fifth glass of sake.
As the eleventh squad lieutenant entered he got up, drained another glass of alcohol, and headed for some fresh air. He didn't usually feel this drunk with so few drinks, but he hadn't eaten all day.
Outside he sat against the 5th squad barracks walls and stared at the sky.
Such a beautiful afternoon. The wind was cool, gentle against his skin. It flooded his lungs in a big intake of breath and eased out between his lips in a long, contented sigh. Life was good. His mind wandered, and without really realising it he took out his flute and lifted it to his lips.
The Virgin Lament drifted off into the passing wind, a long, slow and lonely song. Its highs were low, and its lows even lower. It was a song of loss, of mourning something immaterial that couldn't be held no matter how much someone tried. He had written it to remind himself that some things shouldn't be caught and held, that some things should stay free.
The song trickled off to an end, and he stared at the emerging stars, a painful half-smile on his face.

Mizuki raised her cup back at Nakamura, then finished up her cup after Ito's comment. "Things have been going well Ai-chan. I had to teach a few of the guys how to drink properly, so we could all be ready for the party." She said as she placed her cup down. Osamu sat on the opposite side of Mizuki than Ito and drank his sake quietly (that's the only way he can do anything) then took out one of his paper pads. He wrote something on one and tore it off the pad. "It's nice to have the squads together." It said out loud before disintegrating. He looked at the others at the party studying their appearances.

Nakamura was calmly enjoying herself with a big friendly smile on her face. Happily refilling everyone's cups pausing slightly when she got to Louh's as he'd gone. She shrugged then continued pouring.
"It is, the whole reason I started throwing these parties, other than my love of a good party, was to help improve inter-squad relationships!" She said to Osamu raising her cup to him and drinking.
---
Ito happily drunk down the second cup Nakamura had poured for him.
"Yeah it's good we can all get together for a good shindig. Bet I can still drink ya under the table Speechless!" Ito once again used his friendly insult to Osamu. (as mentioned before they don't get along, but in more of a playful friendly kinda way, a bit like brothers do sometimes)

Peishin took a deep breath, leaned his head forward, and brought it back to clunk against the wall. He always did this. A few drinks inside him always brought on a brief, inexplicable melancholy that only passed if he gave it some attention.
Of course, he always felt like a fool afterwards. This was exactly what he felt now.
Inside there were many influential Shinigami having a good time. He stood, rolled his shoulders, and rubbed the back of his head. He never learned that it hurt to do that.
Forcing a grin onto his face he stepped back inside, into the warm, alcoholic atmosphere of the party. He took his seat back near Nakamura-taicho and picked up his cup, gave it a quick inspection and downed the contents.
"I apologise for disappearing," he said to Nakamura. "I needed a breath of fresh air."
He was about to explain further when he noticed the Shinigami writing in a notepad. Curious. When he ripped the paper out and it spoke, Peishin felt his jaw drop. The paper disintegrated, leaving no sign of its ever being there.
"Whu-What was that?" he stammered to the Shinigami. "Are you in twelfth squad too?"

Itsuru Enters -------------------------------- Outside of the sake party, Itsuru was walking away from the academy on his own with Koori Jun on his back. looking down on the road (the road is clean, usally when he was alive he can kick the can on his feet) he muttered to himself. "Man, I can't beilieve I showed myself up infront of the 13 Captains AND the Lieutenents on my field trip." Hearing a few "clinks" and laughter Itsuru tilted his head up (he didn't want anyone to know he is upset about getting detention). looking at his left he saw about six people who seem to be socializing and drinking sake. starting to smile Itsuru leaned on the Squad 5th enterance gate on his shoulder and crossing his arms and legs. "So is this BIO, (By Invitation Only) or can anyone gate crash?" said Itsuru with a smile.

Peishin heard the boy call in from the doorway and sat up on his knees. He waved.
"Boy! Come on in, free to all!"
He poured out a glass of sake for the newcomer and plonked it down beside him, patting the floor nearby. The party was beginning to get into its stride now, the captains and vice-captains as relaxed as the less prestigious Shinigami.
"Come, sit, and tell us all about it!" Peishin called.

Getting noticed by the bulked up man with long hair, he has caught Itsuru's attention (Itsuru's POV: the man seemed like he has a conserned look about him). ""Boy! Come on in, free to all!". "Just look at them all wearing black, aww man I feel like the odd one out in my academy uniform. If I say "No", he would think I'm anti-social." (OOC: Italic = Inner Emo) Itsuru accepted his invitation walked passed the gate, took Koori Jun off his left shoulder, over his head and on the floor (like he HAD a bad day at the Academy). "He poured out a glass of sake for the newcomer and plonked it down beside him, patting the floor nearby. headed towards the bean bag next to the rugged guy, ""Come, sit, and tell us all about it!" Itsuru lifted his right leg up, turned 180° clockwise and landed on the bean bag with the table behind his back. FRUMP! (Sound of Itsuru's weight on the bag) "He STILL has that look on his face, maybe he wants me to lay it on him" thought Itsuru. "Well I had a good morning but a bad afternoon, I went to see the Gotai 13 for my field trip and well I got into a fight infront of the Captains, I was admiring the Squad 8 Captain. (with that silk kimono and that straw hat) he seemed like a god in a glass case." Pausing in a middle of his story Itsuru picked up the sake from behind with his right hand Itsuru looked at the dish of sake (rice wine) seemed to look like water and the smell seemed awfully simular to beer as Itsuru continued on his story. "still standing in awe and of course some scuzz bag said "Hey Beanie baby!" he took my hat, I told him to give it back", he told me to kneel and I MIGHT return it to you, went on one knee he kept my hat and tried to kick me in the face, blocked him with Koori Jun and then a fight broke out and in the end I had detention." Itsuru had a sip of the sake and scrawlled his face "Urph! Barf!!! Quick I gotta reach for the dnL!"putting down the dish on the table quick and reaching for Koori Jun with his right leg Itsuru pulled out a green bottle and opened the green top off and gulpped 2 glugs of the lemonade and started to swill and gargle (yes he'd swallow his drink).

Peishin watched the newcomer gargle some lemonade, chuckling at his reaction.
"Not a drinker, eh? Well, that's fine. What year are you in?"

I might as well laugh WITH that guy, I am the comic relief character after all. ^^"
Recovering to the "shock to his system", closing the bottle of lemonade with his left hand and holding the bottle with his right and putting his lemonade on the table (just in case he did needed a drink) Itsuru started to laugh with the man.
"Yeah, I'm not much of a drinker, I'd rather eat the rice then drink it. ^^" Laughed Itsuru ;D
Ending his own laughter Itsuru smiled and answered to the man with honestly.
"I'm a first year at the soul academy."

"First year? Wow, that brings back some memories."
Pieshin lifted his glass and drained it, put it down and refilled. His cheeks were flushed from the alcohol, his eyes a little glazed, but his speech was still steady and he moved with confidence.
"Man in my first year we had a real pain of a sensei." Peishin lifted and tilted his right hand, forming a fist, displaying faint, ugly scars across his knuckles. He grinned at it fondly. "What a bastard. He did this to me just to prove a point."
He spent a moment remembering that long-ago day.
"I learned though. Don't try and block a sword with your bare hand," he chuckled. "His name was Mitsurugi, so watch out for him and stay on your toes or he'll do the same to you. What's your best subject?"

"First year? Wow, that brings back some memories." Looking up at the only star in the night sky, when that man said "first year" and "memories" triggered something in Itsuru's mind [Flashback: Black background and being surrounded by his old friends laughing and sitting on an octogon table.]"Yeah!" sighed Itsuru. practically ignoring the ramblings of the old rugged man (Itsuru seems withdrawn from the world looking up as if his mind is somewhere else) "Man in my first year we had a real pain" [Flashback: Previous flashback is now painting a picture this time more tables surrounding them and a girl in pink
"Oh great? what does Brittney Lance want THIS time?" laughed Sun-Takeharu (Itsuru's Japanese Friend)
"Hey, I Brittney Lance as the welcoming committee of this school, suggest that... you sit with the skaters, you with the goths, you with the "euro trash", you can sit with the Asians etc... asking them to move to there proper seating area's Itsuru's gang threw their lunch trays at the welcoming commitee and all sat on the outcast steps.
"Sorry miss Brittney, but last time I checked... soups have labels... not people." said Billy as he tipped his cowboy hat. (Itsuru's cowboy friend)]What's your best subject?" Still looking at the sky and replied to the man's question (but not the answer the man was after.) so he thought out loud... "I never really had a in a best subject in school, I just wanted to make it in everyday school life, every teenager's life is a battlefield." replied Itsuru.

Peishin got the distinct impression that the kid wasn't listening to him. He felt irritation heat his cheeks, but bit down on the mild anger and forced himself to find some sympathy for the boy.
"You had a tough life, eh? Well don't worry, kid, you just tell your first Hollow all about it." He drank his newly-freshened cup and refilled it, feeling suddenly guilty. "Gomen, I didn't mean to be rude. Too much sake for serious conversation!"
He grinned at Itsuru. "Lighten up! I'll tell you what, if you join in with the fun and forget your troubles for today, I'll visit you in the Academy, maybe teach you a thing or two about the Arts. How's that sound?"
---------
(OOC: When he says "the Arts", Peishin means the 4 combat styles of the Shinigami)

Pulling out a photo of his school friends, (Itsuru's got his inner emo out of his chest) he turned to the old man and smiled at him. "You're right, my school friends would never wanted me to be upset, I'm glad someone like you helped me get my troubles off my chest" he said to himself. "You're right, I should lighten up. I had a wonderful life, I'm just glad someone like you woke me up to see it, arigato" said Itsuru. getting out a bag of Skittles from his right pocket and putting it on the table, Itsuru forgot to introduce himself (fighting his inner emo all afternoon). "Ya'know Senpai, Ive been fighting my inner emo all afternoon and I forgot to introduce myself" ;D Itsuru got out another of dnL, turning himself around and sitting properly at the table, offering Senpai one of his drinks and plonked it besides the old man, still smiling Itsuru started fresh" "Hi, I'm Zak Itsuru"
