Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ground Level:
A large metallic dome lays present in the Squad 12 grounds and within the dome is an arena – the training grounds. Large sliding doors open up to a lobby area. To the left you find the female lavatory and locker room and adjacent is the male’s. Several windows are displayed facing towards the innermost arena of the dome; through it, you can see the training grounds, however, the shinigami that train are not able to see the viewers – one way mirrors. To the right of the entrance is a longer hallway that curves with the shape of the dome. One way windows are faced towards the arena throughout the long corridor. As the hallway continues down, an elevator becomes apparent and adjacent to it is a large number pad with a fingerprint scanner. The elevator leads to both the underground level and the second floor.

Underground level and Second Floor are under construction.

A petite figure walked slowly towards the huge dome that had been under construction for some time, forcing the rest of the squad to train elsewhere for the time, but oh when it was finished! She'd been hearing rumors through the squad about ideas that had been passed around on what would be included. If even half of them were true then it would be the best training grounds available! An excited smile danced across the young woman's full lips as she thought of how much fun it was going to be to try out the new complex. Rich blue eyes traveled up the metallic domes shiny outer surface, watching how the light glinted off and lite up the area around it. Even from the outside it was impressive, with all that shiny surface drawing the eye like a beacon. The inside just had to be amazing to match! She wondered if the rumor that some of the inventions that the squad had made over the years were being included in the design was true, and if it was if one of her's was in there. Wouldn't that be bragging rights?

"Taisho-san, your a genius." She breathed, her wandering gaze having come to rest on the insignia that boldly dominated the top of the door. The symbol she'd worked towards being a part of since her first few years in the academy. That symbol said everything that needed to be said about what potential this building was going to hold. To make it that much better it wouldn't end there, because 12th squad was never stationary. In a group that held inventions as close to objects of power as possible, it was only going to continue to grow and improve.

The giant dome was still technically under construction, but it couldn't hurt to take a quick peek right? Blue eyes swept to the left and then the right, scanning to see if anyone was watching before she started sneaking closer towards the beautiful building that dominated the landscape.

Had anyone been looking they would have seen a dark clothed female creeping comically forward, the bright pink ribbons that held her knee length blonde hair back away from her face drawing easy attention but not half as much so as her obvious attempts at being sneaky. She'd taken a special break from working on her latest project just to come down here and see this, she wasn't going to leave after getting just a peek at the outside after all.

"Sneak, sneak, sn-" The doors to the building whoosed open to reveal a figure coming out wearing the same black uniform that the blonde was plus some additional features such as an instantly recognizable purple scarf covering the lower half of her face. Had Rue being paying a little more attention she might have noticed that the blue-haired female's eyes were closed thus giving her a chance to slip around and avoid getting caught. Instead she instantly straightening up, interlocked her fingers behind her back and bounced up and down from the balls of her feet to flat trying to appear nonchalant and innocent. Usually it wasn't very hard for someone who looked like her, innocence was easily assumed, except for Rue because she couldn't lie to save her life.

"Ah...Kamikaze-Taisho."She greeted her captain in a voice that screamed she was guilty of something and covering it, her wide cheesy smile didn't help anything. Although there was nothing close to repentance in her bright blue eyes that were all but sparkling with enjoyment.

"Looking at the new training grounds?"She asked glancing towards the building and hoping she was being believed she was also partially thinking that if Taisho-san didn't act too upset maybe she could be talked into releasing some of the information on the dooms mechanics early. The suspense of not knowing was killing her! Even just a few of the rumors being confirmed by her captain would put her that far ahead of what everyone else knew. That and maybe she could start working on a few personal items that would help with training within the new grounds.

As Beaute exited the training dome, she heard a slight fracas coming outside. Her eyes opened widely as she then saw, now her Vice Captain, Rue. “Mmm?” was the noise that came from her when she saw Seirou. Strange that she’s here, but, nevertheless, it’s good to see someone here. Beaute told herself as she then began to speak. “Hello there, Rue!” She said excitedly. Her right eyebrow arched in confusion. “Why are you so stiff?” She asked Rue. “Lighten up.” She added with a smile. Beaute couldn’t help but make a small giggle at Rue’s reaction to seeing her. She had often been mistaken for a very serious person; however, Beaute knew when to put on a smile. She knew when to be serious or when to be playful. In this case, she was playful.

Beaute turned around to look at the dome with her continuous smile. “It’s still in the process” she said, “but it should be finished soon.” She turned back again to Rue, placing both hands on her hips. “It’s going to be the best training arenas once it’s finished.” Beaute was confident in this project. Not only was she sure that it would be -the- best, but that it would be the most efficient. Not every training area has an elevator and several series of floors with different training ground areas, such as weathered grounds.

Beaute’s attention then diverted to a man approaching the arena. Lovely! More people! She exclaimed in her mind with a smile. “Excuse me for a second, Rue” she said in haste as she walked toward the man. Her eyes picked up his appearance and for a second, she recognized him. The ex-Captain of the Sixth Division, Koma. Beaute knew the reason he was here now. As she approached him, Beaute adjusted her scarf once more behind her shoulder. “Koma, it’s a pleasure.” She gave a slight smile knowing that being too friendly may offend him since his demotion. “I have been informed a bit ago, from the Captain Commander, about a reiatsu limiter to be placed on you.” Beaute began to tell him. “I have it set in the underground level. Follow me, if you would.” She gave a quick smile before turning around and heading back into the training dome. Out of courtesy, she waved at Rue before making her way past the doors and inside the dome.

Once inside the dome, Beaute headed toward a door adjacent to the elevator. Using her reiatsu to open the door, she walked on through the frame and began to walk on stairs that descended toward the underground domain. It wasn’t a tightly closed stairwell. It was more of a “grand” spacious stairwell filled with a metallic look. The walls illuminated from lights that were installed within them and it gave the stairwell a more pleasant feel. As Beaute reached the bottom of the stairwell, she used her reiatsu once more to open the door for herself and Koma. She only used her reiatsu to pave a way for her if she was in haste. As she walked through the frame of the door, both entities entered a similar floor to that of the ground level. The only difference, however, was that the training arena was simple. It just consisted of metal walls and tiles. This was the weathered training arena. Passing by the series of one way windows, Beaute walked through a hallway that had a series of five doors; two on each side and one down the middle. In this instance, she was heading down the middle door.

Her reiatsu opened the door and before them was a large tool-like room. There were hip length tables that had a key pad to the right center of the metallic tables. Seven tables were present and Beaute made her way toward the third one down from the door. “This is the one.” She said to Koma in a serious tone. As she approached the table, she tapped several digits with letters tied into it. Once finished, Beaute pressed her index finger against a scanner next to the key pad and the center of the table began to rise as a wall. It had a series of devices hanging from both sides and immediately, she identified the machine. Here it is. She told herself. Beaute reached up and took it off its place and held it in her hand. It was a small black device with several wires hanging from it. At the center was a small metallic oval that contained tubes running through it. This would be the first time I would put it to use on a shinigami. Beaute thought as she held it in her hand.

She turned to face Koma and looked at him directly as she began to address him. “Koma” she began, “this device here is what is called a limiter. What it does is that it limits the reiatsu of a shinigami or any other containing it. I’ve had it tested once before, however, Koma, I must tell you, that you will be the first to have this installed into your body. I have high hope and expectations in this device, which means there should be no failure in either installing it or activating it.” Beaute looked down at the limiter in her palm and traced the metal oval that revealed several tubes. “One thing about the limiter is that it will surgically be planted into your body…” She looked back up at him in a concerned manner. Beaute was unsure how Koma would feel about the surgery, but, nevertheless, it is to be done. “I’m uncertain at how you feel about this, Koma, but it must be done.”

Beaute answered to Koma’s series of questions. “After this is installed, you may experience a series of headaches and may often get tired. This is only because the device would be limiting your reiatsu and is suppressing it. As for its affect, the limiter will have lowered your reiatsu to only having shikai. So in other words, it would be as if you had just achieved shikai and have not yet the ability to learn bankai. The limiter would also have you to only know eighty kido spells.” She made a quick glance to the device and then back to Koma to answer the final question. “Yes, Koma” Beaute began to say with slight hesitation, “I can understand your loss.” Her vision moved downward to face the floor. It must be hard if others take it against him. Beaute thought with concern.

She looked back up and refocused herself. “Are you ready for the surgery?” She asked. Beaute looked on over at the metallic shelf next to her where other devices were hanging from. She was accustomed to performing surgery, yet it almost seemed as if she was starting from scratch. I shouldn’t be nervous. Beaute reassured herself. She placed her index finger on the fingerprint scanner to close the shelf. The shelf descended and merged back into the table. She now awaited for Koma to be ready.

“The limiter, unfortunately, has been created to be a permanent device.” Beaute said calmly. She twiddled the device in her hands. Her head lifted to look at Koma. “Alright then” she said, “follow me and we will begin the procedure”.

Beaute exited the room and entered into the one adjacent to the right. As she entered, the room in all directions was covered in a metallic color, both wall and tile. Metal shelves engulf the walls of the room along with several cabinets. Lying in the center of the room is a large tank filled with water with wires and tubes hanging on the inside. Two of those tanks existed in the room. Next to the left tank was a large surgical table. Beaute made her way to the table and looked back at Koma gesturing him to come over.

(( Yeah, I'm not feeling this one. Talking about being a Vaizard without ever asking me 1) as Guild Captain, or 2) as Vaizard leader. Stick to the limiter and follow the proper channels next time. ))

((Um, so you're saying you want me to purposely fail in planting the limiter so koma could die and you could spawn another character?))

(That’s fine, don’t worry. I was just confused.)
Beaute soon laid him out on the surgical table carefully. Alright, focus now. She told herself setting the anesthetics in the syringe. She rolled up her sleeves and put gloves on her arms, followed by a washing of her hands to disinfect. She made her way back to the table where Koma laid. “This may sting a bit” she said cautiously. Beaute grabbed the needle and then injected it into Koma. She gave some time for the anesthetic to take effect and then moved on to the procedure.

Carefully, with her scalpel, Beaute made a long incision on Koma’s chest. Nice and easy. She said to herself. It was deep enough to break the layers of skin. It was as she intended. Following this, she made her way onto making another incision toward his chest muscle region covering his heart. As the incision was made, with both hands, she separated the muscle and ribcage to reveal his beating heart. Fascinating, she began to say, how much beauty lies within ones’ self as the human body. She continued onward and held the limiter in her hands. She used clipper-like tools to grab individual wires from the limiter and began to attach them to his heart. With the passing of time, Beaute managed to finally get the limiter planted on Koma. Took a while. She said as she wiped sweat off her brow.

Beaute made her way back to the tray table and set the tools down as she then picked up a stitching needle and thread. She came back to him and began stitching up his incisions. One stitch followed the other and soon enough, it was complete. The limiter now rested inside Koma. Beaute left him lying on the table and set all the appropriate medicines to maintain his heart beat. She grabbed a chair and sat nearby Koma, keeping an eye on his status.
