Grand Hall of The Elite Espada

Welcome to the Grand Hall of the esteemed council of the new and elite Espada. Here the top Espada gather and discuss the important issues revolving around the Hollow's world of Hueco Mundo.



Continuing down the prestigious corridors you will find the entrance to the Council Summons Room. Only those possessing a specially formed crest may enter the Council. All those not granted the Elite token will not be permitted as the crest itself acts as a key. Without it a barrier remains firmly in place and is impossible to pass through.



Inside you will notice the unique build/design, meant to specifically suit the Esteemed Espada. Each Council member will receive their own pedestal, though the mane/central pillar belongs to none other than the Head Espada himself.

As it stands now 2nd Espada Raine is seated to his right, sharing his pillar. And 3rd Espada Darth is on the lower pillar directly to his left. Everyone else shares the traditional cross rank pattern until we reach the 9th and 10th Espada who, as newer/rookie Espada share the central pillar before the Head and 2nd Espada.

*walks into the grand hall and begins to look around*

Hmmm.....interesting design...I approve.

*Raine sonidos out of the shadows*

Welcome Lorde Vasto... I'm pleased to see you enjoy your surroundings.

*She bows her head*

I'm relieved as this seems as if it would be my first real duty as your second Espada and I would hate to disappoint you. Care to view the rest of your Hall?

*She begins walking down the vast corridor*

So is everything to your liking?

*sees Raine appear*

Heh...I should've known this was your doing....you've outdone even me.

The rest? Haha, show me.

*Raine brushed her nose with her thumb and smirked*

Who else would have gone out of there way to erect such a building? You know I strive for the best Vasto ^~

*She leads him to end of the Grand Hall and motions to the entry way beside her*

Beyond this doorway is the Council Room where we will as the Council of Espada will discuss any and all matters of importance.

Interesting.....there doesn't seem to be a keyhole to these doors.

Knowing you, you've made it far more advanced, am I right? *smirks*

*Raine flashes a wicked grin*

You know me all too well m'Lorde.

*She reaches into her corset top and pulls out the pendant belonging to her necklace chain and cups it in her hands.*

After what happened in the throne room I decided we needed a bit more security here... we wouldn't want any rogue Shinigami wandering around here, poking their noses into business beyond their comprehension...

*She steps in front of the door and knocks on it in demonstration*

It appears to be an ordinary mahogany door, but in fact it is reinforced with my own reiatsu... None without my reiatsu signature may pass... unscathed. However if someone manages to break down my door and lacks the proper signature a mechanism will be triggered, and several cero beams will be fired immediately from concealed locations as to incinerate intruders on site. For you see hidden in the entry way are sensors that identify any who enters reiatsu and without this pendant I forged they will be targeted.

*Rain uncups her hands to reveal an intricate crest hanging from her chain*

(It's only 4 by 3 inches in Raine's case, but crests will be forged according to the size of their wearer. IE for larger/broader/taller Espada, larger crest ~ Smaller/more refined Espada,smaller)

I've forged this crest in semblance of our proud Espada heritage... The first Head Espada Trio's weapons... The lion crest in the center symbolizing the first Head Espada Arima's final release, with his Zanpakutou centered behind it. The sword to its right belonged to his right hand, and 2nd Espada Raven. While the left is that of 3rd Espada Tearlin.

*She allowed the pendant to dangle in front of her allowing the light to glint off of it pridefully*

Each one created is imbued with my reiatsu to act as the Council's key. I will forge only 10 of these sacred crests, and only as they become necessary when new Espadas are named so none shall be allowed to fall into the wrong hands. As such, the numbers of each crest holder shall be inscribed upon the pendant's back.

*Raine reaches into a small silk satchell and pulls out a second crest*

I forged yours this morning...

*She took it in her left hand as she formed a cero beam with her right pointer finger and using a tribal-looking script inscribes the back with a 1. As the cero's energy dispersed and the dark smoke evaporated Raine bestowed the now cool pendant upon her leader*

0_0

Impressive indeed....*takes the pendant and looks at it*

Only one more is necessary right now. Others will come soon enough.

*Raine nods*

I shall make sure to craft it for her by the first time we are called to meet here.

*She backs away from the door, sidestepping out of the way*

Shall we continue our tour then?

*looks at the door, then to the pendant*

Of course. I wonder what other surprises you have beyond that door.

Why wonder when I have given you all you need to see for yourself?

*She grins*

After you Lorde Vasto...

Heh....gladly.

*presses the pendant against the door, and reiatsu flares up to burn the door away, leaving an opening to the council room. Vasto walks in and looks in amazement at the room*

Hahaha! Nice!

*Raine follows Vasto in and walks to the center of the room*

I tried to design it with our kind in mind... but also making sure to take into account your penchant for the dramatic ^~

*She points to the farthest pillar*

Your seat is the tallest pillar with me, straight ahead of us. I've placed a meager chair there for now, but I wish for you to redecorate as you see fit... a nice throne perhaps?

*She flashes up to their shared pillar in a silent sonido*

I have yet to decide what to do for my own throne...

Hmmm.....maybe I'll bring in another seat like the one in my throne room...oh well, I'll worry about that later.

*sonido's to the pillar and sits down*

Nice.....Now to fill up the Espada ranks...

*Nods in agreement*

It may take some time to sort out the new Espada, but I await the day we are all seat...

*She snaps her fingers and the right half of the of the column transformed to Raine's liking.*

(Ignore the little person XD)

Not too bad... what do you think Vasto?

I sometimes wonder how you do such things.....not bad at all.

It's magic ^~ lol

*Raine entertains a coy smile on her lips*

As a Taichou and 2nd Espada there are many things to ponder... but these things are often best left to wonder...

*Takes a seat in her new throne*

I'm glad to hear you like it though ^^

*MCI sonidos into the grand hall as a the new 4th esapda*

"I can't believe I am an espada! I thoguth I would fail after my mock battle with Eve on the previous BW! I noticed that their are some new espadas like chickenboy. So, could someone please ctach me up on what I've missed so far when I was gone and deserted back on the old BW? Thanks!"(Oh, and hi Darth, I'm sure you recognize me!)

*Raine sonidos behind MCI and rests her chin on his shoulder*

You never failed, besides, one has to be able to roll with the punches just as well as deliver them.

*She smiles as she flashes in front of him*

You showed some real promise out there, always thinking... And I'm not the cold-hearted, icy Arrancar I appear to be ^~ So welcome MCI, to the leagues of the Elite Espada.

*She manifests a brilliant platinum chain, upon it the Espada crest she hand forged nobly hangs, this particular pendent emblazoned with the number 4. Raine places the chain around MCI's neck*

Here you are Cuarto Espada. Now it's official.

*MCI stares at his new pendant proudly*

"Well, it's good to know I did okay. I'm not the best at RPing, but enough about the past. I succeded and that's all that matters. Oh, and Raine, I'm sorry if you though that I thought you were mean. I know you're a really nice person. Remember that food fight we had on NP when I was a newbie?"

*listens*

Oro? Food fight?

That reminds me, I've been thinking of adding hang-out areas to Las Noches. Any ideas?

*Laughs as she recalls the good ol' days of NP*

I do indeed...

*Flashes back . . .
http://www.narutopod.com/forums/showthread.php?t=181&page=527* XD

Good time MCI ^^

*Looks over to Vasto*

Perhaps a fitting nightclub or rave.

*MCI bursts out laughing*

"Yeah, that was one of the best and mot enjoyable moments I had on the computer! Come to think of it, my RPing skills are better when I goof off.....Oh well. I really liked the part where KS came in and I blamed you guys for the mess and ran way. Heh heh...."

*MCI galnces at VLRK*

"Hmm......Oh, a hangout place? That sounds fine with me. It's another place where I can fight for brownies!"lol

*Raine's eyes narrow as she grins*

Just remember MCI... my skills as a ninja are nothing compared to the power I hold as the 2nd Espada ^~ Just try me XD
