Reaper Mingle is go!

Who: William T. Spears and any reapers of the far shore
When: Evening of August 16th
Where: The temple of Baron Samdi (Ronald Knox)
What: William calls an emergency meeting for any and all reapers. There is something they all need to be aware of. (And because it's being held at Ronnie's temple, you can expect it to devolve into more of a mixer once William stops preaching.)


Part 1 - The Announcement

[ The following is a text that appeared on the BBS late last evening, shortly after the training session wrapped up. It is addressed to those on the far shore who were reapers in their home worlds, however, the only one who is blocked from viewing it is William's shinki, Hannah Annafellows. ]

I am calling to attention anyone who holds the position of a Reaper, Death God, Shinigami, or other related title. Good evening. My name is William T. Spears. I believe I met many of you this afternoon during the training session at Bishamon's temple. However, regardless of whether we met, this announcement is still directed towards you.

There is a matter of utmost importance that I feel all of you need to be made aware of. I have arranged a meet up at Ronald Knox's temple so that we can discuss the issue and come up with potential solutions. Please arrive to the temple of Baron Samdi by 7 p.m. so that we can make the most of our time. Thank you.



Part 2 - The Meeting

[ William finally stands up in front of where everyone's busy chitchatting. He's clearing his throat, attempting to get their attention and already looking pretty peeved. And it's not even because of the topic he needs to discuss, or the fact that it's well past 7:45 and they haven't even begun yet. Nope, the main reason for the crease in his brow is because of the absurd jacket he was forced to wear this evening. Not his usual black dress coat, but a lovely gold sequined one that nearly makes him glow in the brightly lit room. He has no idea how the eyesore of a garment found its way into his possession, once more, but he wouldn't be wearing it if he didn't have a good reason to. ]

Everyone. If you could all please have a seat. We are already behind schedule.


Part 3 - The Mixer

[ Now that William's concerns have been made aware, it seems that the event has evolved into more of a reaper shindig. Ronald has set up appetizers and has plenty of booze available. It's almost as if he'd planned this from the beginning. ]


(( ooc: mingle mingle mingle! Feel free to tag and threadjack around! Discuss the issue at hand or ignore William and just build cr with your fellow reapers! Party crashers are always welcome, too! ))

Because it's not right, and you should be ashamed of yourself. Not just for wanting to keep all the demons and youkai here under our thumbs, when we don't have that authority or right, either.

[ Oh, she's not done. You don't know this, Will, but this is someone who worked more directly with the 'big bosses' and had no problem sassing one of them at times. She won't have to spare any bravery to chastise you. ]

Were you hoping that you'd say 'demon' and I'd just use my talents with sensing and tracking energy to pin down every demon? Some of them are shinki, one of which is yours you said. They rely on their gods to be a type of guide for figuring themselves out and learning how to act. Some of us here would know.
genkireaper: (For duty!)

Oh, she will!

[personal profile] genkireaper 2017-08-21 05:03 am (UTC)(link)
How dare you. Some of those demons are helping people at the risk of their own lives and have been nothing but peaceful. They aren't trying to line all of us up and put us in 'our place.'

[ There is now an oar in her hand- Most already knew that she could just make it appear. What they probably didn't know was how likely she was to smack people with it.

Someone stop her. ]

[...Will you're kidding.]

...That sounds like a lot of effort just to screw one person over.

[Can assure, most of them are pretty lazy.]

[...]

[Also was that too much?]

This drama has become a bit droll, don't you think?

[ Grell moves to stand beside William, draping a wrist over his shoulder, so that she might rest her chin atop that.

It's a bit painful, physically making contact with this fashion travesty of a blazer. The things she'll endure for this man.

Raising her opposite hand - the one holding her cocktail, God help them - she'll gesture to Botan. ]


Your place, my dear, is serving a Goddess renowned for slaying demons. Do you intend to betray my natural interests, in addition to stepping so very far out of line?

trademark_skull: (Shush you)

[personal profile] trademark_skull 2017-08-21 07:40 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh...this is bad. Botan had been covering Emizel's back the whole time but, this isn't exactly her fight to be in either. Especially not against her own God. He had no idea.]

[She...she did well though. It's time that someone defended her.]


It's not out of line. You can't just control every demon like that! They been brought here unwillingly just like the rest of you. Or they been reformed to shinki. There's nothing to even fight over.

[Besides followers maybe. But that's true across every god.]

[ Oh. Has the Pink Elephant in the room not yet been addressed? Is that why everyone's been skirting around the topic all night? ]

Oh, but it is, dear boy. The only exception I've met so far is you. [ Taking a peek at the small reaper over the frames of her glasses, she grins. ] For that, I will attest for you, alone!
trademark_skull: (Out of the fire)

[personal profile] trademark_skull 2017-08-21 08:05 am (UTC)(link)
[DAMMIT GRELL YOU WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO MENTION THAT.]

[...Then again considering how much she likes seeing him scared like that.]
genkireaper: (>: x)

[personal profile] genkireaper 2017-08-21 01:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[ No, it's okay Emizel- Botan can turn this around! She won't even have to read minds to do it, either. Also, Botan has no qualms about turning this at Grell and chastising her as well. Shinki being out of line or not.

Luckily, Botan is one that doesn't feel guilt.

This did distract her enough to not swing that oar though. It's gone so she can pointedly point a the redhead. ]


Grell, your natural instincts have you wanting to have a child with a demon. The goddess that you're here as only appeals to you because she's known to slaughter people.

Some of us know that I'm the best chance at finding and tracking these demons down because, if I wanted, I can sense all of them. Except I'm telling you now that I'm never sharing that information with you two.

[personal profile] untodeath 2017-08-21 03:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Okay, maybe it isn't William that they have to worry about flying off the handle. Not when she puts her drink in his hand, to step up to Botan. ]

I am many things, my dear - but if you're to name me for them, I implore you to characterize me properly, at the very least.

[ Bending over just so, to better meet the blue-haired woman at eye level, Grell's grin pulls taunt. ]

Tell me, smart girl, are you satisfied with accepting your half-truths as fact? Are you proud of yourself for flaunting abilities that I may not have previously thought to request from you?
genkireaper: (Keep a brave face!)

[personal profile] genkireaper 2017-08-21 06:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[ This would probably be better if Botan was the type to be easily shaken out of her mood. The girl was certainly a scaredy cat a lot of the time, but she's that from the beginning. Switching to being intimidated, as this might have done otherwise, was tough when she was still upset at Will.

Grell just seemed to have caught and tried to grab the brunt of the anger onto her. ]


Well slaughtering demons isn't exactly part of your character, now is it? Just slaughtering and 'painting the world red.'

[ Her stomach had a bit of a churning feeling, assumingly from the anger (though it was really more than that,) but those feelings were still hot. ]

You might not have thought to use those particular skills of mine, but you can't say that he wouldn't have tried to make the request. Not after the things we talked about on how I linked you three together. It's not about what I think is a fact, I'm just cutting a lead off before it's even thought of. You might've named me, and you might like your supervisor, Grell, but I'm making my own agency and thoughts clear on this. Who I serve doesn't change that.

[ Painting the world red. Ah, if that doesn't illicit hunger in Grell's eyes! With a scoff, she plants a hand on her hip. ]

Mn, as much as I do adore that gorgeous sanguine, I've been so good here, darling. Uncharacteristically good, you could say! Following the rules, which I very seldom do! Trying to be a decent Goddess - although, perhaps, I am not.

[ Leaning back to stand upright, she shakes her head. ]

Perhaps you're right. Who we serve doesn't change anything.

[personal profile] freezetheheavens 2017-08-22 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
Enough.

[Goddamit, now look what's happened.

Toushirou speaks up from somewhere enough to catch their attention, his voice stern even as he looks fairly unimpressed with the whole fight in the first place. He knew already that the whole elephant in the room would have been addressed already and is even slightly on guard in case a fight breaks out.

He moves away from the wall, teal eyes glancing between the god and shinki pair.]
genkireaper: (Which was plan D?)

[personal profile] genkireaper 2017-08-22 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
[ Botan was ready to continue, mouth just opening when his voice cuts her off. Glancing over to the shorter captain, the aggression and backbone seemed to melt away. Backing up, the girl's shoulders slump just a bit.

She doesn't feel guilty, or anything that would sting Grell. However she's already a little chastised by that look they were getting. ]
trademark_skull: (Having meltdown brb)

[personal profile] trademark_skull 2017-08-22 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
[It was turning out to be a messy fight. However had Emizel said something it would have driven the attention back to him and demon matters. Or worse, resulted in a physical fight somehow.]

...

[He will awkwardly remain quiet, for the moment. Perhaps Everyone else would have ignored at Grell said about him... The ones that did not already know.]
untodeath: (wicked .)

[personal profile] untodeath 2017-08-23 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
[ To the interruption, Grell's line of vision cuts toward the source. While her aggression still burns strong, she will tense her jaw to resist any further quips. Fighting a child is hardly her style.

Scoffing, she turns with a toss of her red hair. ]


William, I'm, sorry to say, you've wasted your efforts this evening. They'll need to discover these perils, themselves.

[ And she'll teleport out for a breather. ]
freezetheheavens: ([06])

[personal profile] freezetheheavens 2017-08-23 05:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[As Grell disappears, Toushirou releases a quiet sigh.

He doesn't quite relax, not really, not when things have been brought out into the open and it could very well mean things can go badly.

But he's rather relieved, still, that Grell has decided not to fight him.

He glances over at Botan and Emizel, a silent inquiry if they're okay.]
genkireaper: (TMW you're flashed but it's not much)

[personal profile] genkireaper 2017-08-23 10:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Ah... She should let Grell cool off for a little while. While not completely worried about what Grell would do to her if upset enough, the redhead could still be rather scary.

Glancing over has her catching Hitsugaya looking over at her and Emizel. ]


... I think I might stay at your place tonight, Hitsu.

[ It looks like they've successfully distracted everyone from Grell's 'reveal' about the youngest in their group. ]

Are you going to be okay, Emi?
trademark_skull: (Too much information)

[personal profile] trademark_skull 2017-08-24 12:04 am (UTC)(link)
[Uh oh, feeling worried again.]

[Did Will really not notice? Emizel would find out quickly if he did.]

[So..]


I'm not sure...
freezetheheavens: ([27])

[personal profile] freezetheheavens 2017-08-24 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
I suggest laying low for a bit.

[Especially if it's unclear if Will's caught onto it or not.

He gives a nod to Botan, though.]


I'll set your room up for you later.
genkireaper: (Should've done that first)

[personal profile] genkireaper 2017-08-24 09:52 am (UTC)(link)
Make sure you have our contact information in your phone, just in case.

[ Hitsu can teleport, being a god, but if he's busy then Botan was rather fast on her oar.

Wait, Emi was a god as well. Right. ]


If anything, teleport to a place that you know will be safe when you need to.
trademark_skull: (Why me)

[personal profile] trademark_skull 2017-08-25 08:23 am (UTC)(link)
[Pretty sure that William doesn't know where he lives yet. And it's not that easy to find either. So there was that.]

I...I better not need to.
