"I guess I'll take your word for it then...." Sui said still unsure how it could happen, it actually piqued her interest to see a shunpo backfire yet she could experiment with that on her own time, and then she saw him smacking himself which made her smile. 'Its alright, nothing to beat yourself up about. I'm pretty poor in Zanjutsu despite the fact I have a Shikai with four swords, i'm much better in Bakudo. I guess that would be because fighting is too exhausting." However the guy then tripped which startled her enough to where she herself almost fell. "Well we can't be lucky all the time Aizen."

After making sure he wasn't bruised up too badly, he turned his attention back to the woman, "Yeah, suppose you might be right about that." he replied before trudging onwards. Walking sucked, majorly, but it wasn't like he was willing to risk a backfiring Shunpo. Fortunately enough for him, they were pretty much already at the Squad Five Barracks, now was the time for Aizen to really be nervous. He turned his head to Sui, "Thanks for your help, Sui, if you hadn't come along, I might have been stuck in that maze for weeks." he thanked her, chuckling nervously. After saying his goodbye, he swallowed the lump in his throat, it was now or never. Taking a deep breath, he stepped inside, "Hello? Anyone here? Umm, I'm looking for the Captain of Squad Five, I'm interested in joining. Umm...is anyone here?" he called, looking around.

A little sad to hear he couldn't do Shunpo without it backfiring, which made her wonder how one could even make a shunpo backfire in the first place, since kido was one that could backfire, but never in her life did she hear of Shunpo backfiring. She did however shunpo back towards him and start to walk beside him as she started to lead them. "Well we are rather close to be honest, its not that far of a walk I guess, Shunpo just makes it easier to get to places."

"That might be so, but I'd rather not risk it. Knowing me, I'd probably either fail, or overshoot. And I really don't want to have either happen." he replied, continuing to walk. He knew it was probably strange to hear about things that could backfire that normally couldn't, such as Shunpo for example, but if anything like that was even possible, Aizen was typically the one who found out firsthand. I'll be surprised if I'm even accepted into Squad Five, given how my Kido backfires. But I wonder if they'd want a demonstration? Of course they would, what a stupid question! he thought, smacking himself on his forehead a few times. He suddenly remembered that what he was doing might seem a bit odd, so he stopped and kept his hands on his Zanpakutos, hoping to avoid any more stupid gestures or movements. As his luck would have it, he tripped over himself once again, "Ow! Damn it, that's twice in one day already! I'm starting to think today just isn't my day." he said out loud, slowly getting to his feet.

Sui listened to him with a smile and laugh. "Ahh don't worry about it. You are correct on that, I am at the moment just like you." She then waited for his response while thinking of ways she could achieve drunk mode despite her Zanpakuto saying it doesn't work that way. Hearing him speak up asking to lead him towards Squad Five she nodded and started to shunpo, but then remembered what happened with Souta and looked back. "You can do Shunpo first correct? And yeah that was my Shikai I feel its nice since I can use it to float that what I mainly use it for."

When Sui mentioned Shunpo, he began to fidget with his fingers, "Well, I'm not really sure, to be honest. You're the first person I'm going to say this to, but, aside from Kido, I can't really do much of anything without it backfiring. Of course, most of my Kido's backfire too, but not as much." he explained, looking down. "If it's alright with you, I'd prefer it if we walk, less chances I'll do something that backfires." he added. He had already begun to walk again, making sure to try and remember his way, should he ever need to navigate the maze again.

"Oh, so you're like me..." he said out loud. He gasped and covered his mouth, "Sorry, I didn't mean for it to come out like that, or at all really." he apologized. What an idiot! How could he say something so stupidly obvious to someone he just met?! When she mentioned she could help him navigate to where he was going, the thought had finally clicked in his mind, why hadn't he asked beforehand? Useless wasn't the right word for him anymore, hopeless was. "Um, yeah, that'd be great. I'm trying to get to Squad 5, but as you guessed, I wound up getting lost in here. Talk about pathetic, huh?" he chuckled trying to deflect attention away from his many and multiple flaws. "So I saw earlier that you have a Shikai? Must be nice..." he said, slightly envious as he glanced at the two weapons attached to his sides. Really wish I had a Shikai for even one of these useless Zanpakuto's. he thought.

As Sui floated around with her Shikai again heading in any random she really choose to, as she knew she could get the Squad Thirteen eventually. She knew where it was she just choose to relax a while longer before joining, as she yawned she closes her eyes and stretched her arm, opening her eyes she saw someone in front of her losing her focus this time more prepared she placed her hands on his shoulders before she could fall and flipped over his shoulder landing on her feet. "Whew that was a close one, sorry i almost bumped into you."

Aizen turned his head to and fro, attempting to figure out where he should head, "This place sure could use a map...but then again, perhaps it was built like this intentionally to keep intruders out? But...I'm not an intruder..." he said out loud. Moments later he felt a hand on his shoulder, causing him to turn his head, unaware the individual was actually already passing over him. When he heard her voice, he spun his head back around to the front, "Yeah, well, I really shouldn't be standing where people could do that sort of thing." he replied, rubbing the back of his head. "I'm sorry, I seem to have left my manners at home, please forgive me. I am Umezawa Aizen, currently unseated and, um, squadless..." he trailed off on the last part, though having bowed anyways. He straightened up, "I guess that makes for a pretty stupid introduction, huh?" he added, rubbing the back of his head again.

Bleach: A New Dawn

Well, he's currently within the maze-like structure of the Seretei. I don't mind where he is exactly in location, as that makes no real difference in itself.

Bleach: A New Dawn

So yeah, Aizen's lost currently. So if someone could casually 'bump' into him for whatever reason, that be appreciated, since he's useless and all. xD

Doll Master

Xavier felt his body complete it's manifestation, indicating the bonding was complete, and without a moment to spare. Despite his appearance, Xavier was graceful with the twin katanas, each stroke he delivered or parried with sort of like a dance of blades. Eventually, the Puppeteer had retreated, aware he was no match for this Doll and his victim had been the wrong one. However, the fight didn't end, Xavier giving chase. Nobody assaults my Master and lives to tell the tale, not anymore! he thought, pursuing the Puppeteer. Eventually he found the Marionette he had attached himself to, Marionettes are like shells in which to hide, the Puppeteer bonds with them, then uses them for evil deeds. Common knowledge. But the extraction of a Puppeteer is another story, one humans should not be privy to. I am sorry, Master, but this, you cannot see. I am glad our chase ended in this alley, it will make things more simpler. he thought, sheathing his black katana. He moved before the Marionette could react, the white katana blade having already plunged itself into the Marionette's body and struck the Puppeteer. Upon withdrawing the weapon, there was no visible wound on the host, thought the extraction of the Puppeteer was obvious as it was absorbed into the blade. After sheathing the weapon, he waited to speak, "You were ambushed by some unsavory types when I happened upon you, and after disarming two of them, they fled." he told the stunned former host. Xavier returned to where he had left Artemis, "Xavier. No last name, wasn't created with one. You are?" he asked. Xavier rarely ever spoke, but when he did, it was short and to the point. It seemed idle banter would be out of the question in the future.

Sorry about the delay by the way guys, I'll be working on my half of a post later.

No worries, we understand life likes to blindside you when you least expect it.

Doll Master

Nina simply smiled at Eris' protests, "Don't be silly, Eris, you know I've been planning this since you entered my life. It's just, these Hunters have started to frequent here more than I should like, and to confine me in this very room...we both know how that will end." she replied, carefully sitting her companion on her bed. She stood and looked at her, sighing, "You're not looking that well, Eris, I think you used too much of your power back there. It might be more difficult getting us out of here with you in that condition." she added, looking around the room for something. She turned back to the pile of junk, opening the closet again and digging all the way to the back, feeling something cold touch her fingers. "Oh! What on earth was that?" she cried. She reached out, feeling the coolness once again, though finding that it appeared to be a door handle of some sort. Turning it, dim light poured through the newly opened door, which appeared to lead under the house. If her luck held out, the hidden passageway would lead them outside somewhere, hopefully a fair distance from the house. Shoving her way back through the closet and into her room, Nina carefully lifted Eris again, "Come on, we're getting out of here, this time for real." she said, leading her companion to the closet. Just as they were reaching the door, she heard her room's door open, knowing it had to be someone coming to check on her. Once the pair were past the door, she pulled it shut, hopefully it would give them enough time to find a place to hide down there. "Come on, we have to hide somewhere..." she whispered to Eris. She had no clue where to hide, just that they had to for some reason.
