Location: Warehouse, Main Floor


As usual, the TV was blasting out noise and sound across the Vizard's main base, filling the lonely space of cold concrete and dust with the sounds of a police chase and gunfire. With such a program on, it could only be Cliff's time with their television, since he watched these criminal investigation shows almost addictively. There he sat, a rather tall man in jeans and a jacket, firmly planted in front of the story that was being layed out for him today. Things had apparently just gotten interesting, too, with Cliff leaning in closer, and silently mouthing, "No way", as his favorite show continued.

With the thirty minutes coming to a close, Cliff suddenly shot up from his seat, exclaiming, "The big reveal!", as the whole plot tied together for him. His Zankpakuto, previously layed out on his lap, clattered to the ground before him. Able to completely disregard outside noise, he stood there with his smug half-smile, ingoring more than a couple of annoyed glances from the other Vizards going about their daily business. Cliff had solved the mystery already, he would always brag to those who watched it with him, and this ending was a great way to confirm his guesses so far.

This was an almost daily scene for the Vizard, watching their second-in-command in his favorite spot for thirty minutes every day. There was absolutely no telling why he seemed to enjoy this simple time so much, but no one could fault him for lack of enthusiasm. It didn't really present a problem, either, unless you were annoyed by the noise, since anyone could attest to Cliff's skill in battle, weilding his heavy nagamaki with the skill of any Shinigami out there. Cliff was an odd puzzle to put together, that much was sure, but it was best to leave him to his path.

Loydem's cellphone began to ring, the caller ID labeled Kenichi Kurosawa glowed on the LDS display.

"Boss..." Kenichi began. "I've picked up word that there's been an Espada and Shinigami captain battle by the mall. Seems to become very lively all of a sudden as well." There was a pause. "I sense several captains are now here in this town. Be careful, sir."

"Seems we've got quite a few humans here who are spiritually aware of what's been going on. I've talked with one of them. She has already met a Shinigami captain and Espada. I'm going to keep an eye on her, make sure nothing happens to her. So I won't be coming back to the hideout till tomorrow morning."

Kenichi sighed audibly. "Tell him not to bother explaining who the culprit is this time to me. I've had just about enough of that show...." he paused. "Something's coming, boss. I'll talk to you later." He hung up.

Loydem appears in the warehouse behind the couch. He jumps over it and sits down on it then his dog jumps up and sits on his lap. He starts petting the pug, "Good boy."

Loydem gets hit by the box of snacks and falls over off the couch, "Ow. And I did keep a low profile less than what I wanted it to be but hey. I had my mask on so they don't know my face and they didn't seem very worried when I show'd up." He jumps up holding the box smiling, "Ah great i'm hungry. Thanks Kenichi."
