It was a nice Day in the Ruins. Not many hollow where out today, out in the area there was a table with two chairs. On the table supplied a checkered table with corresponding Chess pieces, a bottle of Dom. Romane Conti from 1997. In one of the chairs sat a tall young looking man. His skin was a bit pale, but not albino. His eyes were sharp yellow as he piked up a glass and poured some wine. He stirred it around in the glass by waving it. The aroma spiraled up as he wafted it in. He lifted it to his lips and gently swallows it. His pink hair blew in the breeze at a little under shoulder length as he tasted this perfection. The flavor was amazing, this was is favorite win. It smelled of Berries, spies, and even leather hinted in the scent. He sat the glass back down and studied the Red Burgundy coloration as he awaited for his guest to arrive.

This man sought out to strength the connection between him and this other person, even though he has yet to formally be introduced, he thought it would be nice for them two to meet face to face under less stressful circumstances. He adjusted his black tuxedo's collar and looked to make sure his shoes still shined the moonlight of Hueco Mundo. This man didn't have much friends, maybe this person would become valuable as a friend as well as other assets. Only time would tell today.

Zazie, after hearing from another hinrichten who had gotten a message from a messenger arrancar, had decided to take Grand Chat, Hayato's replacement, on his offer to meet up with him. Zazie, since it would be the first time meeting him, also decides that she should make a good first impression by wearing a dress... Even though Zazie shouldn't have done this, she decided to keep her usual make-up on. The scar-looking makeup that practically perpendicular to her right eye and the cyan-teardrop like makeup that looked as if it hung on the left edge of her right eye were still clear and apparent on her pale, lifeless skin... However, she was a little embarrassed about wearing the dress since she was mostly known for her cruelness and darkness, so she decides to shadow walk to where she was supposed to meet with Grand Chat.

Just as Grand looked at his shoe to make sure that it still shone in the moonlight, a black, oval-like orb appeared a good 10 feet behind the empty seat on the other side of the chess table. The oval-like orb then unpeels itself, slowly revealing Zazie in her dress... When the shadowy oval-like orb dissipates, Zazie's body was covered in an extremely dark shadow of a piece of the ruins. She looked ahead and saw a pink-haired man drinking fancy wine and wearing a suit. Zazie bet that this was Grand... Her mouth then forms a half grin, knowing that he was also wearing formal attire and made Zazie feel a bit un-alone in her dress...

Zazie slowly walks out of the shadow of the Ruins, revealing herself in the eternal moon's moonlight. Her pale-ish skin glistens in the moonlight, complementing her olive-tinted iris well. Zazie, when she reaches the empty chair, she pulls it out and manages to sit in it while not ripping her dark-purple dress.

Zazie, while having her eyes fixed on Grand, sits quietly as she waits for him to address her and start the conversation...

(OOC: The type of dress that Zazie is wearing is similar to Lust's dress [Lust from FMA/FMA:Brotherhood], except it is Dark Purple...)

The man was impressed at the entrance of this Hinrichten. Other races sure had interesting abilities, or was it her own, either way. “ Good afternoon Mademoiselle Zazie Rainyday” the man smiled as he held his hand to greet her with a hand shake across the table. “My name is Grand Chat, We are aware of each other's positions, yes?” It seemed she did know him, but it was still a formal greeting. Grand didn't know much about the Hinrichten race, he was hoping a meeting such as this would help clear any misconceptions he may have, as well as that but strengthen the bond of their alliance. “So Mademoiselle, would you be interested in a glass of wine?” He motioned his hand towards the wine bottle completely filled, aged to perfection. Grand lifted his glass and tasted some more, he loved the taste of the wine, and hoped it may serve as some sort of common ground between the two.

The moons shown brightly in the place they have been for years, since night never left the area the sun never tainted the wine, hueco mundo sure was the best place to hold wine. Upon receiving Zazie's answer, he would either fill it or leave it empty, depending on yes or no, so he moved on to small talk. “So how is Life Mademoiselle” Grand generally called all people he respected as either Miss or Sir, well Monsieur or Mademoiselle.

Zazie's hand greets Grand's over the table, as she says with a half-smirk on her face and in a slightly monotonic voice, "Yes, It is very nice to finally meet you Mr. Chat... I've never had wine before, so sure... I'll try some." She watches as Mr. Chat fills up the wine glass. As Chat fills her wine bottle, she mutters to herself "Engulf all before me, Sombras." Her staff-like sense blobs into Zazie's shadow. When Chat finishes filling up Zazie's bottle, she makes the red-ish shadow of the wine come to life. The shadow turns into a hand that extends to the wine. The hand the reaches over to Zazie's left hand, allowing Zazie to take the wine. After that, the red-ish shadow arm sinks back into the wine glass, then Zazie takes a sip of the wine as if the shadow never even appeared.

Zazie's eyes momentarilly lit up as the wine hits her taste buds. She takes the wine glass away from her lips and places it on her side of the chess table. Zazie looks at Chat and says, "This wine is good... It has a sweet, but strong flavor... With a tinge of sourness in the after taste..."

When Chat asks her about how life is going, she smiles as she says, "My life is, excuse the pun, hellish... I have to deal with some of the more 'animal-like' hinrichten while educating and polishing the skills of the good hinrichten. Other than that, life is good for me. However, I want to ask how is your life going so far? The life that you have under the grandeur of the eternal moon and the peaceful blackness of your everlasting night Hueco Mundo..." Zazie, as she says this, looks towards the moon, as if admiring the beauty of this Desert of Hollows and Arrancars. In fact, she does admire the place that the Hollows and Arrancars live in, wishing that the 9 circles of hell were like this instead of the extreme 9 circles which come with their own completely different biomes and enviroment styles...

At first, Grand was a bit mesmerize again by the ability but shook it out when she asked the question.“Well, don't mind if I make a pun as well, but my life is...well Grand” He smiled and took another sip of the wine. “of course, I must deal with some of my own followers, one being not quite fond of following” He snickered. “but I always love a good challenge, and ones with the least respect, can switch better than the ones with none.” he smiled again and looked up the sky. He did like this place, he used to spend most if not all his life on earth, and now he has a reason to be here, and this place was amazing. “its so much more peaceful here, back on earth I kept running in vizards” he said with a bit anger swelled in his voice. This was to start as informal, may get to business when they are more comfortable.

Zazie takes another sip of the wine that was oh so good as Grand continues speaking. Her nerves were somewhat loosening to a more lucid, more calm and social side of Zazie that almost never pops up. "Challenges sure are good... And I do agree with you on the damn vizards... In fact, it seems as though almost every shinigami is turning into a half-breed... I mean vizard..." Zazie said with a barely noticeable tinge of disgust every time she says the word 'vizard'. That was truly how she thought of them, because it is practically true. Vizards are literal half-breeds of Shinigami and Hollows, which gives them ungodly powers and even ungodly looking masks and new forms.

Zazie, with a rotation of her left wrist, says, "Well, I've had this idea for a long while now, and I think that I should present this idea to you first... I was thinking of educating slash civilizing the Arrancars and Hinrichten, and have both races in joint training sessions. I thought of this because A- Since most arrancars and followers I have are a bit... Brainless, in a sense, I think civilizing them and educating them would improve their usefulness since. And B- Since most Hinrichten have similar styles of powers, same going for most arrancars, having joint training sessions could prepare them for opposing enemies that have power types that are different than our races... I'm sorry if it may seem as if I am bringing business into a social meeting." Zazie smirks a little in that last sentence.

“hmmm” Grand thought about what Zazie just said. Joint training could work out a lot, and it may give this allaince a lot more use than it has had for along time. As well, a lot of his own side is lacking in power and size. This could prove most beneficial. “It seems like a great idea Mademoiselle Zazie. Maybe hold friendly tournements as well, and possibly show our followers what we are capable of in held back matches between ourselves” He snickered. He has been lacking in competetion, and training with others due to his high level, Zazie may be someone who can provide an equivalent match. “ and its quiet alright Mademoiselle. It is a brillant idea” Grand would be sure to introduce this idea to his horseman when he can. “how about we start with a small tourny between our forces, not to death, and we will be sure to make very well it does not escalate that far. See how things go at that point and then open group training.” He began to think about the education part. It was very important, most of his arrancar were already civilized, but education could prove useful. “about education and civilizing, how would we go about that without making them cause a ruckus, school is almost never something someone is happy to go to” He chuckled to himself and took another sip of his wine.

Zazie nods. Knowing full well that some of the hinrichten would feel insulted about the re-educating. Zazie grabs her wine glass and finishes it off. She felt a little tipsy, but that didn't matter. In fact, she was able to be still seem part social while being loose-like.

"Well, that is just wonderful. I am glad that this idea has turned into a wonderful success," Zazie says with a somewhat-genuine smile, "I would like to point out, however, one little setback... That setback is that even though we agree for the joint training sessions, our race might be resilient to this new change on our alliance. I don't have any idea on how to introduce this new change to our race and have a better chance at not having any objections. Would you care to give me some advice? Also, would it be okay if we can have some of your more useless arrancar, such as ones that are able to be easilly killed with just a single punch from one of our lower strength members? I just want to experiment on them and see if there is a way to strengthen both of our sides... (The last part is a bit of a spoiler alert for a future idea...)"

(OOC: Short post, I know... Got many things to do...)

He finished his wine, thinking of what idea was placed infront of him.“Well I’m afraid we lack in useless arrancar, being a small group I need every possible soldier I can get. However I offer a solution to a way we can introduce training between us to. How about we hold an annual tournament. A friendly competition if you will, we can have our members randomly selected in teams of two. Each team consists of one arrancar and one hinrichten. We have them face off in a non death combat against another team and have to combine uses they have. After which we can introduce how we will merge training sessions when he can, combining it with class as well, teach them about civility in fighting, to think more than just kill mindlessly. If we can get them to think as well as get stronger, it may hold the answer to educating them as well. We can assign the more civil ones to lesser ones in order to be trained.” Grand’s thoughts were forming as he spoke the words. His head flooding with all sorts of ways to incorporate dual organization training. “oh, and we must keep this down from other organizations. If they learn about this, they may think of war, and may attack us when we are most vulnerable.” He set down his wine glass.

Zazie listened and nodded approvingly, thinking of this as a way to learn more about her ally's soldiers and her own, while having them become more civilized, educated, and stronger at the same time...

"I like this idea very much. And I do agree that we must keep this to ourselves, but what about the other Arrancar King? Rui, was it? Would you think that it would be more beneficial to strengthen our alliance with him as well?" Zazie said, not knowing Grand's take on Rui Herutsu... She knew that they have different hierarchies in which Grand controlled the purebreed, while Rui took in every other arrancar... and a shinigami whom he had sent to spy on the shinigami in the Soul Society... She found out about this and sent a formal letter to Rui to send the rebellious shinigami to the Soul Society to spy on them... The spying is working out so far, but the info on some of the divisions and locations and areas of concentrated guards weren't complete yet...

When Grand makes his replay, she glances towards the chess board and sees that on her side were the black pieces. She delicately picks up the queen by the base and somewhat examines it while listening intentively to Grand's reply.

“honestly” Grand began. “Incorporating Rui would seem like a good idea. I have no real qualms against him. However” He sighed a bit and glanced at the two king chess pieces. The Kings hardly ever went in the battlefield to kill pawns, rooks, and knights. However they went to kill the opposing kings. “I'm afraid the idea would not be so friendly with my fellow arrancars.” Grand would probably never go to kill another arrancar, but they would either try to kill him and his comrades, or the other way around. This is one of the reason Grand wanted Unity between the too. To solve problems such as these. “ With me and King Rui. We are not at conflict, but it is not yet ready to be considered peace, or an alliance. I would like for it to happen eventually, but things of that stature will take time to form. It may take months or years for a burnt out bridge to be rebuilt, stronger than before.” He looked across the checkered space in between. “perhaps at times.” He began to think. “If we first at times have meetings between the three of us. You it seems could be the mediator in between, but even then our comrades will be a problem as well. Pure-breeds...can be racist to others not of there breed.” He hated to admit that. But maybe, just maybe this education could solve some of that. With the exception of a few close minded fools. “It will take some time for this joint training to be comfortable with the rest of our members, so it may be a good idea to introduce it soon so they can get used to it faster. Something of this idea will strengthen not only our alliance, but also our own military strength of our members, in the body and mind.” he smiled at Zazie, who thought of this idea in the fist place. She was right to be the Queen of the Hinrichtens.

"True, True... Now I assume that you want to know more about the Hinrichten just like every other person on this planet, no?" Zazie says as she puts the Black Queen in her pocket. "I also want to learn more about the Arrancar since the Hinrichten are going to create our very own society within hell, one that divides the members to fight their fights their own way so we can conquer them all... especially the Shinigami... And the only way to get a shot is to combine our strengths to cover our weaknesses... That's why I brought up Rui, because he is the more reasonable of us, while being able to lead his troops into battle without much trouble. I also agree that I am the mediator between the two of your races... But I can't say that I can be the overall leader of the alliance, because I still have flaws... Anyways, like I was starting to say, what would you want to learn about the Hinrichten?"

Zazie said all of this just to maybe get Grand a little more relaxed, relaxed and confidant enough to trust Zazie with information on Arrancars...

Grand began to think. “One of the big thinks about a three alliance, is that neither me nor Rui could become leader, our members most likely would not accept these terms” he spoke, but then got to the question of hinrichtens. Grand himself did not need to know much that he couldn't find himself. He mostly needed to know what beneficial they could provide. But he wondered how to ask such a question, also he wanted to know one other thing. “Well. What is a hinrichten exactly. As we have Resurreccion, what do you hold. And another question I may add. Why do so many people compare our species. How are we so similar. I myself have never met someone such as your race. Your species does intrigue me, but I haven't see so many similarities yet. For one you don't have gaping holes on your body” Grand chuckled at the little joke, he hoped Zazie would catch it to ease the atmosphere. He began to pour himself another glass. Grand has been drinking for many years, he had quite the immune system to being drunk. He took a sip of the wine to delight his taste buds. The bottle was left open encase Zazie wanted another glass, but it was entirely up to her to ask.

"Even though I wanted to learn more about the arrancar first, I'll let you know what you want," Zazie begins after a slight chuckle from Grand's joke, "My best bet is that others compare our motives and goals rather than who and what we are... Such as the fact that a good amount of our savage members are apparent that only people think of us as such. Another is that we don't like shinigami or human. One last similarity is that, if I'm not mistaken, most of our members change forms when they release their weapon... Other than that, we are different. The Hinrichten's power is directly linked to their sense... At the moment, I'm at my first release because I didn't want to carry my staff... I thought it'd be rude to bring a weapon to the meeting, so I just released myself and no weapon..." At that moment, she chuckled because her powers have no need for a permanent weapon...

She then picks up the white queen and threw her away. With that being done, she used a shadow hand, which rose out Grand's shadow, to grab the black queen out of her pocket and into the middle of the chessboard. Not in a square, but in the exact center of the chessboard. It was a bit of symbolism in her mind. She, being the midnight queen of the black darkness, could be the medium between the two kings.

After a couple 5 seconds of silence, Zazie's shadow arm sank back into Grand's shadow. She then continues to say, "Hinrichten Senses are basically extensions of their power. When we release our senses, we re-absorb them and our powers grow to another level... Basically... So, now will you tell me more about the arrancar?"
