Shinda sighs, a drunken smile on his face. "Remind me again why you went outside of the Sereitei, sneaking off again, just to pay and drink at a bar when you could have had a drink in a more...orderly place?" The man laughs loudly, attracting not just a few stares and glances at the bar. The bartender gives him a wary eye, but continues to clean up the bar. "For the atmosphere, my dear Ekibyou!" He sings, wobbling slightly as he throws his hands out around him in an exaggerated manner.
Shinda was sitting at the bar counter of a rather seedy drinking establishment, as he would usually say to his peers. The tables were old, and rotting a little at the legs where time had taken it's toll. Holes could be found all over in the walls and flooring of the bar, and small cracks spotted the ceiling. A layer of dirt also seemed to cover everything and almost everyone who entered, besides the beer mugs.
"The atmosphere? It's a dump. Literally, there are pieces of trash all over the place, and dirt covers the place, even the smelly bartender." He pouts. "Now Ekibyou, that isn't a nice thing to say. Besides, don't you know? Bar's have their own....shady atmosphere, that makes them unique! It's common sense!" He chuckles, rocking back and forth, almost falling over.
The bartender gives him a mean look at that, and a few of the patrons glance at Shinda, anger evident on their faces. He pays them no heed, and just grins. "Barkeep, another drink please~!" He sings. The man nods, and refills his glass. He begins drinking it down as Ekibyou sighs in his head. "Such a fool sometimes....you know Shinda, sometimes you worry me with your drinking. You don't even notice the men are staring at you not too tastefully..." He laughs. "You worry too much, no one is gonna harm me~"

Another day out rummaging about where ever she could just to get away from the overbearing structure of schedules and paperwork of Seireitei had lead Roxanna out to Rukongai once again. More specifically it lead her to what could have easily been about the most run down bar in all of the Soul Society. It smelled of old booze and dirt and even a hint of blood and vomit. It was just perfect! Roxanna lifted up her cracked cup, chugging down its contents which sure as hell wasn't apple juice. She slammed it back down on the counter, tapping it a few times in about the most subtle way she knew how to signal for another round of whatever alcohol the bartender had been serving her nearly nonstop for the past half hour...or maybe an hour had passed by now? She didn't know. She wasn't hardly wasted enough.
She also wasn't wasted enough to notice how the barkeep wasn't filling up her glass right away. "Huh......?" she mumbled, looking up and noticing he was busy filling up the glass of some guy that looked really familiar. She arched her brow, getting up with her cup just as he spoke of not being able to be harmed. Oh? Now maybe she'd just have to prove him wrong. "What do ya think you're doing, hogging it all for yourself?" Roxanna reached out, taking hold of the males uniform rather roughly, not even realizing it was the garbs of a shinigami. With her free hand she slammed her cup onto the bar, and instantly it was filled to her liking. . It was brought to her lips and again was miraculously emptied in a matter of seconds. She could chug just as well as any man.
She slammed her cup back down again, this time letting it go entirely, putting all her attention on the man now. Okay so maybe she wasn't that upset about not getting an instant refill. She was just one who lived to take on challenges, even if they weren't really challenges. So no one was going to harm him? She'd take that bet. Hell in the bar they were in it'd probably break out into a full on brawl. The whole place could come toppling down. Now that would be a fun event to drink to! God how she loved her 'days off'.
"What do ya think huh?!" She looked out over the men that were sitting about the bar now. She threw her fist up in the air, getting a loud cheer from everyone around. It seemed they had been serious about those mean looks. Oh this was definitely Roxanna's kind of place! She looked back t the other shinigami, clearly smirking in a way that didn't seem to fit her rather soft feminine features. She wasn't exactly the most normal pretty woman though, "Ya hear that boy~" Forget the drinks she could fight just for the hell f it, a common custom of her drunk self.

The streets of the Rukongai were littered with trash and the rotting deposits of the inhabitants. This was the rocky part of town, the outstretches that he had 'grown up in' after his death. The streets brought back memorys and thoughts of a past day and a past life. Faster times when the giant that was Shaku scraped a living together with the strength of his arms, instead of the speed of his wit. Times were simpler then, he listened and reacted. Ideals were simpler then, unification under one banner, one language, one tribe. Now his life was paper work and statistics. The musings of the behemoth we silenced by a whiff of something in the air. Alcohol, true un-watered alcohol, none of that sake still that they served in the Seireitei. Shaku could never get over the idea of how all the Captains and Lieutenants could stomach Sake. It had no kick compared to the Shochu brewed out in the reaches of the Rukongai. Sure sake may smell of flowers, but to Shaku that was the purpose of flowers, not alcohol. Following his nose Shaku was led to a run down grubby little bar. It was quite close to the one he bounced at when he first got to the Soul Society. As he ducked to enter the small establishment, blocking out the light from out side for a moment, he nodded his head slightly in agreeance. The inside gave him the same look as the old bar. Same dirty tables, same smelly crowd, same ugly barkeep; it was home. Shaku shuffled in and sat down at the bar next too two Shinigami who looked like they were about to duke it, well at least one did. Picking up the cup the female set down he lifted it to the barkeep. "Fill with sstrongesst gutrot."

Shinda blinked as his collar was pulled roughly. His drunken gaze swept over to the pretty woman, and even in his inebriated stupor he paled as he heard her words, and the roars of the men over at the other tables. "See? I told you that you would get into trouble, and now these men look like they are going to beat you, as well as that troublesome child there."[/b] Ekibyou chided lightly. Truth be told, Shinda could tell she was worried. She didn't really want him to die, or get hurt too much, even when he deserved it, which is what was happening now. Now things were beginning to get out of hand, and he needed to stop this quickly.
"Gentleman, gentleman, calm down. I apologize...for my earlier rudeness. I don't want to fight you, any of you. I'm a pipsqueak, a waste of your time. I did not mean any disrespect...to your fine establishment sir." He nods and gives a charming smile to them all, hoping to slide out of this one quickly. Shinda was never one to want to fight, rather just sit out and drink their issues out. The men frowned, and one stepped forward, growling in anger. "Too bad, buddy." Shin paled as the man's fist rocketed and hit him in the face, sending him back against the bar. His nose began to gush blood, and he frowned.
He looks at the woman's arm, and swats it away. "You're lucky..I don't fight women..." He sighs, and looks back towards the man who hit him. He sighs. "I was hoping we could talk this out...but..." He Shunpo's up to the man, sending an uppercut towards his jaw, before spinning and sending a few punches into his gut. The man doubles over in pain, and Shin grabs his head, and smashes it into his knee, sending the man toppling over. The men roar, and Shinda frowns, bouncing around. "Come on then, let's see what you guys can do..." He hiccups slightly, a crooked grin replacing the frown.

Roxanna eyed the man who had suddenly come up on them, fists blazing like he was some kind of bad ass. She shot him a glance of disgust that said that this one hers but big surpise! He went and threw that big fat fist of his anyway. Honestly Roxanna couldn't say it was a bad hit either. She felt a few drops of blood from Shin's nose splatter onto her hand and couldn't help but to get a bit of enjoyment from it.
Just then though...that little punk...SWATTED her hand away like some dirty old rag. Then he said that words that would probably bring about the boy's death in the extremely near future. He didn't fight women? Oh he didn't fight women?! Roxanna felt her veins suddenly be lit on fire. Her brow twitched as she glared at him as he showed off whatever fight skills he had, wasting a good number of hits on the big man from before, probably throwing in a bit of overkill in there. He didn't have bad style. Roxanna probably would have like the kid. Just not today.
She stepped over over him, not even trying to be quiet. She reached out to take a hold of the back of his shirt, twisting her hand in it so she couldn't so easily be swatted away like last time. "Oh I'll tell you boy the guys can't even come close to what this WOMAN can do!" she shouted with roaring laughter and yet a large amount of rage. It was clear her laugh was just a sadistic one. She was going to enjoy this.
The lieutenant gave a tug back, using way more strength than she even need to to try and flip him over, aiming to send him face first onto the counter of the bar right where they had been standing once before. "Sure you don't wanna fight Women Boy~?" she asked through clenched teeth that formed some kind of messed up smile. It was clear she was holding her tongue as to not go off on some kind of fowl mouth rant if just a string of cusses could be called that. So to take out her frustration in another way she again took it out on Shin. Again with more strength than need she gave him a shove that could have sent him all the way to the other side of the counter then right off the bar if he didn't find some way to stop himself. Of course this was long before she ever took notice of the other person right beside them who happened to have a drink sitting right dead center of the direction she was planning to launch Shin. Oh well. Men had to learn where to put their drinks.

Shaku winced at the comment of the man, especially when the woman's face turned an ugly dark color. It was then that he recognized her, another Lieutenant like himself, Squad Eight if his memory served. The lad then smashed into one of the bar patrons flourishing in his alcohol riddled state. Not bad one liners, but he still had the girl to contend with. She stood there a second staring at the boy with flaming eyes. She then walked up to him while he was standing in his victory. Shaku shook his head to himself and turned his attention back to the cup in his hand. The bartender had just filled it with a clear liquid that stank slightly of rotting beats, perfect. Has he begin to lift the drink to his mouth something smashed it from his hands. The lad was on the other side of the counter, his path of flight had taken him right through where Shaku's cup had been. The cup now lay on the floor, it's contents seeping into the dirt that was the floor. Shaku sat there for a second, the stool bent slightly under his weight. He stood ever so calmly, a silent graceful giant in a den of villainy. He reached down and grabbed the stool. Lifting it to about chest height he smashed it onto the counter, breaking off all bu about one of it's legs. Holding the impromptu club in his massive meaty club he let his arm fall back to a relaxed posture. "A'right, we do thisss." He then turned and threw the wooden stool leg at the Pirate of Squad Eight as he turned his fists to the other male Shinigami.

Shin's eyes widened suddenly, as he felt a hand, filled with rage, twisted the back of his shirt. He paled, a silent "Uh-oh." escaping from his lips. Then, the woman spoke, and he paled a little. Perhaps he shouldn't of have too much to drink like he did. But it seemed that it was too late to apologize now. Now, this woman was gonna kill him, he could tell. "U-Uh, l-listen miss..." he tries to begin.
And just like that, she laughed sadistically, making him shiver and pale. To his surprise she picked him up...no...manhandled him onto the bar, and he paled more, looking at her. He saw another man, this one much bigger than he was, sitting in front of him, his glass on the bar. He pales, as the woman chides him and mocks him for what he said, before she runs him across the bar, and throws him down it, sending him flying into the wall.
Shin crashed against it with a thunk, his head seeing stars, and he groans, holding his head. He looked around, vision blurry, and saw that the rest of the bar was breaking out into a full-on brawl. The man was now standing, and he smashed the chair against the bar, making a makeshift club. Shin paled some more, and he sighed. "Maybe I could sneak out of here while they are all distracted..." He makes to stand, before freezing as the big man threw the club and turned to Shin. "Shin, you can't get out of this. You're gonna have to fight. Just...don't die, please."[/b] He sighs. "Thanks for the bode of confidence, Ekibyou..." He stands tall, a frown on his face now. "Time to put the training I know into use...." he runs towards the man, kicking up one of the broken bits of chair from the stool earlier and swings at him with it.

With Shinda now sent flying down the bar on his merry way to the wall, Roxanna picked up his discarded drink, bringing it up to her lips and chugging it down. Just as she reached her last sip though the cup was knocked from her hand with something wooden that also managed to strike the side of her head. The cup fell to the floor where it shattered, leaving a rather ticked off Roxanna who could feel a trickle of blood flowing down the side of her head. She glanced at the stool leg on the floor, noticing that the man from before was now standing, his stool in tatters. So it was him huh? Oh well she'd show him just what he had gotten into.
She couldn't see what was going on on the other side of the large man who she deemed looked rather familiar. What did she care though she had her own business with the man. She picked up the discarded stool leg, tossing it around in her hands before extending it, tapping on the male's shoulder. "Excuse me" she said roughly, drawing the stool leg back again. "I think you lost something!" Roxanna swung the stool leg right at the man's head with nearly all of her strength which really could have been devastating should it have hit.
As she swung though she happened to get an angle that allowed her to see Shinda. She narrowed her glare in on him, not looking to pleased. "What the hell are you doing up?" the woman barked. She leaped up onto the bar counter, lunging to the side, picking up a forgotten jug of sake on her way. She tilted it up, finding it still had so of the drink in there which she quickly tried to down before she pushed of with her foot, aiming to plow right into Shinda, fist first, and bring him to the ground. "You should have stayed down boy!" She shouted cheerfully, rolling over in a flip whether she had landed her hit or not. Staying on the ground wasn't a good idea with so many large men running about beating the hell out of each other, especially when she hadn't even been paying attention to that other shinigami.
"Come on now boys! You're disappointing me!" she shouted, laughing out loudly, mostly to Shinda as well as Shaku. Surely they were better than this. Shinda had been such a bad ass earlier and the other man had dared stand up to her which took balls of steel. Where the hell were they now. She threw her arms out, leaving herself open for a shot, though in a manner that just screamed 'come at me bro'. She wasn't nearly having enough fun.

Shaku stood in a half grappler stance, his arms out to his side. He felt a tap on his shoulder and turned, it was the girl Roxanna. She hung back her arm and smashed the stool leg right into the side of his face. The wood splintered and shattered, cascading across the bar just before the woman jumped up on to it. Shaking the ringing from his ears Shaku turned in time to see the male Shinigami smash his chair leg into the other side of his head. Wiping the blood from his forehead he blinked back his sight. The Roxanna then leaped from the bar and smashed towards the other male. As the woman fought the boy Shaku turned to the Bar, it was large and rough wood, pretty solid for this old bar. Spitting out a wad of congealed blood the giant smashed his hands together. As the woman turned around, giving out a mocking laugh at the other boys of the bar, Shaku had lift the entire bar above his head. He grunted slightly has he through the massive hunk of lumber at the two Shinigami. Then after it left his shoulders he sprang forward, his arms spread slightly to counter the next attack.

Shin smiled in triumph as he felt the bar stool connect with the giant, smashing and splintering in his hands. Yes! This was great! If he kept fighting like this, he might be able to force the other two Shinigami out of the brawl and escape, and they would be none the wiser. Then he would get the hell back to the Sereitei and go back to Division 2. Training was beginning to sound very nice right now, better than dealing with a homicidal psycho woman and a giant of a man. He smiles, feeling a lightness in his heart that maybe he will get out of this alive.
His eyes widen as the woman jumps up on the bar, and lunges for him, sake bottle in her hand. He doesn't have time to move as she knocks him over, her fist hitting his gut. His eyes almost bulge, and then clench along with his teeth in pain. He lets out a hiss and coughs, being hit to the floor. He groans again, glancing to see her flip backwards and laugh, urging them both on. He stands, ready to punch, before freezing as he hears a mighty groan and creak.
He whips around, and pales greatly as the massive Shinigami from before literally begins to pull the bar from the ground. The barkeeper stares in shock, and the fighting from the other me pause in wonder. With a grunt, the man hurls the large bar at Shin and the woman. His eyes widen in fear, and he jumps up, onto the hurtling bar, and springing off it onto one the shoulders of the man. He frowns, and jumps off, kicking at the back of his head before landing, and sweeping at the man's feet in an attempt to topple him. He then jumps, running and moving towards the woman, and sending a roundhouse at her face before spinning and sending a few punches her way. "Fine, you want to see me fight, here you go!"

It was loud and disappointing. They were destroying the bar and the atmosphere around it. The yelling was making lag disgruntled after a long day of work. Lag looked at the offenders while he was sipping on his orange juice. Oh... A prissy bitch and two drunkards. How horrible it was that their tiny dispute would be the things to wreck the bar.
Surprisingly, it made him feel left out as well. Lag felt like he needed to get into this action, and he could tell others were starting to feel that way as well. It's been a long time since he's had any type of opponent. The other drunks in the bar were about ready to jump in. Lag needed to take action before it became an all out battle royale.
"Hey, kids. Calm down. You don't want things to get out of hand" As soon as he said this, a wide smile crept on his face and he got into a fighting position. "You know this bar wasn't magically put here. You weirdos going to fix it?"

The hell was that boy running from so damn fast? Was he that scared? Roxanna rolled her eyes though when she refocus she saw the bar flying at her, about a good whole 2 feet away at this point. She widened her eyes before thinking quickly, throwing her fist forward. It got through the top of the bar well enough but there was only so much just her fist could do. She was still sent flying back onto the floor, landing just a few feet before the door, sliding around on the dirt and alcohol covered floor before coming to a stop. She sat up slowly, picking some pieces of glass out of her hair as she did so before just shaking it out. When she finished there was already something else waiting for her.
A kick was headed right for her face. It was that little punk again. Seemed he heeded to her words. She lifted up her hand, letting it take most of the shock from the kick which she was only slightly rocked by. Of course he wasn't done though. She managed to get up to her feet before he began his barrage of punched which she found herself able to dodge well enough. Until the last one anyway. It made it past her view, slamming right into her cheek, It could have sent a lesser man flying back, but Roxanna held her ground, not even budging or leaning in the slightest. She glanced at Shinda through her tousled blue bangs a new fire burning in her eyes. He was as good as dead now. Roxanna drew her own fist back, sending it flying right toward his gut with a good underhanded punch.
There was some one talking, shouting really that caught her attention, just a few feet back by the door. Roxanna turned her head, looking at the young looking kid who had stumbled on in here wand was telling them to stop. Who the hell did he think it was? "Shut it, aye, kid!" She raised her foot up, kicking one of the closest tables to send it flying in the child's direction hoping it'd just knock him outside. She was so very merciful sometimes.
However a certain barbarian would not be getting to see the sweet mercy she had shown the kid. There was that giant that had chucked the entire bare right at her. Roxanna quickly strode his way, picking up a chair in her travel. It was a chair that would soon be meet that giant man's head much in the same manner the stool leg had before, only this time with a lot more brute force behind it. She doubted it could knock such a...big boned..man out but hell it could keep him down for a bit. At least she hoped it was enough because a moment later she aimed to plant her foot right on the top of his head, hoping to plant it right into the dirty floor.

The young male Shinigami thrust his foot back into Shaku's head, but the forward momentum of the giants jump canceled out any damage the kick would have done. Finishing his leap Shaku landed on the bar he had just thrown, the other Shinigami had scattered away from the impact zone has he had planned. He turned to the other Shinigami, again making sure he could see them both, and was surprised as a young voice piped up behind him. Turning slightly he saw another young Shinigami, a very young Shinigami. Had they let out school early? As Shaku turned back to the other bar occupants he noticed Roxanna kick a table at the really young Shinigami. Not thinking about it Shaku placed himself in between. Smashing his arms down into the table the giant smashed them in half, lifting the two sides he held the table by it's legs, making two impromptu shields. Leaping at the already weapon equipped Roxanna The Ogre of Squad Three brought his arms down in an earth shattering smash.

Shin frowned as he threw fists and kicks at the girl, and she was taking them like nothing. 'Why won't she go down???' He growls, sending a fist to the pirate lieutenants face, only for his eyes widen in shock as she doesn't even budge. Then she drew her own fist back, and Shin paled slightly as it flew right into his gut with all of her strength. His eyes widened, and he coughed, as he was thrown back against the wall.
Blood trickled a little from his mouth, but he shakes his head. He stands shakily, noticing the giant of a man defending a small boy...wait, a little boy? His eyes widened. Why was a kid here? He was going to get hurt. He stood shakily, and noticed the giant block a table the pirate sent at the boy, and use it as a makeshift shield. He turned, looking at the rest of the bar, and his eyes widened as it was a full on brawl. Beer splashed and covered the floor, and broken bits of tables and glass were everywhere, as well as a lot of blood. Shin saw a chair, a little worn, but decent, and frowned, a plan forming in his head.
He jumped up, and ran into the crowd, jumping over and moving behind the flurry of violence, before grabbing the chair and moving back. He Shunpoed towards the woman, the chair raised, and anger in his eyes. "It's not nice to attack children you know!" He swung the chair down full force upon the pirates head. If hit, he would come back and hit her into the ground, before attempting to restrain her. "I hope you learn something from your inevitable ass-kicking , miss. Don't attack children, that's just low."

He originally thought the men were picking on a poor, albeit bitchy, woman. Now he saw it. she was a wretched bitch who deserved to get her face punched in. The two men were drunk, but at least they still had their common sense. The woman, however.. She instantly annoyed him, or maybe it was the table. He didn't care. He ran towards that bitch and threw a punch at her, initially wanting to hit her face, but his small size made the breast his next choice.
