KUTABARE GESUYARO

Birds chirped, filling the still morning air. The sun crept slowly over the horizon setting an array of orange and yellow tones over the town of Karakura. A small crack in the curtains blared a beam of the morning light into Kutabare's face, waking him from a dead sleep. Wincing, he grunted as he stretched out in the bed, the comforter flowing away with the erratic movement of his feet. Hands slapping the bed, he propped himself up and grimaced at the intruding hole of light. He sucked his teeth as he looked at the clock to mourn for the lost hours of sleep he would not be getting this morning. Grunting and grueling as he pried himself from the comfort of his bed and to his feet he murmured, "Damn birds..." His words drifted as he stumbled through his small studio apartment and into the bathroom.

Pressing his hands upon the counter he stared at himself in the mirror somewhat grumpy. Thoughts of what he was doing with his life flowed through his mind as he stared into his golden eyes through a parallel universe. Combing his hand through his hair he sighed, his eyes dimming before he proceeded to get dressed. Once he had his shirt on he grabbed the pack of cigarettes that laid upon his nightstand. Flicking a smoke into his mouth he lit it with a metal, refillable lighter. Looking down at the box after he did so, he noticed it was the last in the pack and he hadn't made a stop to get any the day prior. Grunting once more, annoyed, wanting to be lazy for a little while longer. It couldn't be helped, though. His addiction for nicotine had complete control over him, which seemed to be the only thing that was able to do such a thing. His mind was set on getting some more, but boy was he dreading the reality that he would have to go outside to do such a thing.

Nonetheless, the door creaked open and slammed shut. Taking small drags from his cigarette to make it last longer. Shoving his hands into his pockets and began walking to the nearby corner store just a couple blocks from his small apartment. Just another ordinary day in his ordinary life.

((OOC: Just wanted to say that I have, like, 0 plans for this thread except for introducing some sort of spiritual awareness into Kuta's life. So anyone that joins may introduce themselves as well as a threat if they so wish. If not, I'll have something happen. Thanks!))

Well well well. Wellwellwellwellwellwellwell. Toshi paced around, his socks muffling the patter of his feet on the hardwood floor. This... This was a predicament. Yes, it was a deep predicament indeed, and young Toshi wasn't exactly certain what to do about it. He knew that this day would come, but so soon? When he was so unprepared? He stared at the bowl before him, two weetabix atop one another, crying out for milk. But there was not a drop left. He shook the empty carton with a sad sigh of defeat. He envisioned the next twenty minutes in his head; sad, slow, munching through the bone dry wholegrain bricks like an animal. Agriculture was what separated Man from Beast, and to be without milk, the ultimate symbol of Man's dominance over nature, at a time like this? It was nothing short of criminal.

"You... You do realize you could just go to the shop and buy milk right?" Kanaboshi, one of his guardian spirits, asked in his mind.

"But I want cereal now dammit." Toshi replied, tiresomely, "And besides I'm going to be late for work, Rosa kicked my ass last time." Despite being an honours graduate, Toshi still just worked at a little record store in town, pushing odd hours and dealing with a harsh boss. Rosa's only redeeming quality was that she was insanely attractive, and that the shop was so quiet that Toshi seldom ever had to actually do anything. He could swear it was a front of some description.

"Just eat it without milk." replied Ianto, the worst by far of his guardians.

"YOU STAY OUT OF THIS!" he shouted out loud. His neighbours knew he lived alone. They also thought he was crazy.

With a loud sigh, Toshi shouldered his rucksack, picked up the stack of vinyls he'd been painstakingly packeting and labeling and headed out the door. He supposed he'd just pick up breakfast on the way in. When he walked out of the door, however, he looked at his watch and realized that for all his dallying, he paid the price of already being kind of late. With a muttered string of curses he leapt forward, briefly entering and exiting his step intermittently as he flew down the street, heading for the train to take him to the next town over where he worked. Punctuality, however, was not to occur as he flew around a corner and there, before him, was a delinquent looking guy with bright red hair. He was only a few meters away. Now only a couple. Now one- aaaaaand with a 'whumph!' the two collided, records spinning wildly into the air and tumbling down this way and that, Toshi, and most likely this new guy too, in a crumpled heap on the ground.

KUTABARE GESUYARO

A sigh escaped the lips of the, now, hot-headed ginger as his cigarette began to reach the filter. It would be about fifteen or so before he'd reach the destination of the convenience store in order to make the purchase to quench his addiction. Yet, for some reason the addiction ate at him despite the fact that he was currently partaking in the consumption of what his body and mind demanded. A slave to an object, it was sad. He didn't see it to be as such, as he had fallen so far down the rabbit hole that it was what he wanted as well. The though of being without for just a moment tormented him, but the future humbled him and calmed his nerves as he took another drag from the stick.

Audibly blowing the smoke out, letting the shape of his mouth carry into a whistle as he continued down the street. He began to approach his turn. As the next street was nearly within a few arms reach he figured he'd take the last hit of his cigarette. He looked down at the smoldering end of the death stick, his brow furrowing at the near end of this small pleasure ride. As the filter neared his pressed lips his eyes were fixed on the cigarette. The filter was close, so close. His eyes adjusted in front of him by the commotion of steps toward his direction. Kuta's golden orbs grew in shock as he watched the blonde hair kid bolt in his direction.

No... He thought in his head, his eyes shifting back down to his cigarette which he tried to save by placing his arm up in the air. At the same time, he wished to avoid burning the kid as well. It was obvious collision was inevitable at this point, the speed at which the kid traveled was far to great for this regular human to dodge. He'd tried his damnedest, though. As his body flinched and he made an effort to put his free hand out in front of him to deflect the kid. It would be all for not, in the end. The two would meet, the objects on the kid's person were sent to the skies. Kuta would find himself on his rear as he bounced back. His eyes were able to catch what he needed to see. Watching as his cigarette tumbled in the air before landing with a sizzle in a patch of dew riddled grass, it was as if he watched it all happen in slow motion.

He laid still on the floor, looking up at the sky as clouds sluggishly moved throughout the sky. A small tear formed up in the corner of his eye, all he wanted was the last hit from that cigarette. It was a satisfaction that he would never obtain now. Spiraling into an anger he rose up to his feet with a great haste, shacking his fist in front of him. His head inflated, "WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL?" His voice elevated, his words directed at the kid that put him on his behind. Fuming, he waited for a response.

"Yaaaaaaa-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da." Toshi waved his hand at the irate and suddenly cigarette-less man. He'd got to his feet pretty quickly, while Toshi was still anxiously ferreting around attempting to pick up all the damned records. Jesus a guy gets knocked over, and knocks another guy over, and gets all mad. Toshi figured though that with that bright red hair that this kid was a delinquent. Though he was one to talk with his own bright blonde hair. Just a couple swaggerin' delinquents getting inta fights on street corners. Except Toshi had left his delinquent days behind him. And he was late for work. And his records were all over the damned floor. There was only one thing for it.

There was a sudden surge of reiatsu as Toshi summoned Kasei to his aid. He was careful not to manifest her right there; no, instead the Hogo-Sha, or spirit guardian, would appear around the corner. She ran around the corner, wearing her school uniform and satchel and gasped loudly.

"Neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!?~" she cried, before clapping her hands to her cheeks, running to Toshi's aid, helping him pick up the remaining vinyls.

"Hey Kasei-chan! Thanks." He said to her, as if her appearance was a surprise. Then he turned to the red stranger. "Hey man look I was just late yanno? Couldn't see where I was goin' cause of all these things yanno?" he asked, hefting the records. "Did I knock your cigarette out? Ahh those things are bad for yer health anyways man." he said, as Kasei dutifully continued to stack records into his arms.

"You've missed your train anyway Toshi-sama." Kasei told him brightly. He sighed.

"Oh well. What's your name?" he asked the stranger, juggling the records into his left hand to shake the stranger's with his right.

First off; sorry this post took so long! Doesn't usually happen but I've been commandeered to do a bunch of plot NPCing for people sorry!

Name: Guardian Summon!
Class: Human Powers
Tier: V
Type: Summon
Range: 100m
Description: Toshi may summon one of his spirit guardians while released, creating bodies for them out of reiatsu. When he does this, he loses the ability to use any of his spirits' powers, and the corresponding marks on his body to all but the summoned guardian stop glowing, and become dull and brown. The summoned spirit, meanwhile, can use only their own powers. (e.g. if Kanaboshi were summoned, she would be unable to use Kasei's powers). When destroyed, their bodies simply disappear, and they go back to Toshi's mind. Toshi can dispel them any time he wants. Only a single Guardian at a time may be summoned in this way. They may be summoned for up to 7 posts, with a cooldown of twice the length they are summoned. The summons use the same reiryoku pool as Toshi - i.e. they trigger his cooldowns and visa versa. The extra length is due to Toshi losing all of his Guardians' powers while the summoning happens.

Since this is out of combat the technical details don't really apply. (Unless you really want them to?)
