The New Leader (Incognita, Open)

Vanille was somewhat nervous today, she had been called into the throne-room via message from one of the Números . Apparently, the new leader of Las Noches desired a meeting with her, but she hadn't explained why to the arrancar she had sent. Which puzzled Vanille quite a bit, she couldn't remember having done something wrong, nor could she remember ever doing anything that would require a meeting with the new leader. But she wasn't going to refuse this meeting of course, she couldn't. So here she was, making her way through towards the throne-room, contemplating what it might be that she was needed for.. it couldn't be a mission, she had the Espada or the Números for that, she wasn't exactly a fighter, which was probably the only thing most of the residents of Las Noches knew about her.

Soon enough, she would arrive at the closed doors of the Throne Room, she hadn't even seen this leader before, and knew only her name and that she was quite a strong arrancar, taking a deep breath before she would open the door and take a few steps in, seeing her leader sitting there, waiting.”Good morning Incognita-Sama... you requested to see me? she said, not exactly showing any signs of fear, because she didn't feel there was something to fear. So she didn't think she was here to be punished... she seemed more curious than anything right now. She closed the door behind her and took a few steps from it, patiently awaiting to hear what Incognita had asked her here for.

It had been a rather ordinary day for the Leader of Hueco Mundo. A very low amount of arrancars had visited, no one noticeable. The Espada seemed to being doing their own stuff. She had observed a rather dirty scene between two arrancars, but didn't want to interfere with their private life. She had also noticed that Chaos had been visited by Luciernaga Volatill, the Septima Espada. It made her happy, somehow. It was enjoyable to see him get along with someone else. After all, she couldn't always be there for him, even through they hollows had a vast lifespan. But it could never be determined when Incognita's souls would leave him...
She was now enjoying a cup of green tea, her favorite kind, while waiting for the arrancar she had requested to join her to come. The name of the arrancar; Vanille. An odd name for an arrancar, indeed... But I have heard of weirder. she thought as she started to mix the tea with cream. She glanced at the chair she had prepared for her incoming guest. It was a simple way of greeting someone she had prepared such an important task for. Next to the chair, a small table was standing with a cup of tea on it.

Her glance travelled from the chair and table, to the door. Someone was opening it. The vast door to the throneroom was not the easiest door to open and quite impressive in terms of size. Yet, a woman with such a small stature could open it easily... The leader of the Espada put her cup of tea to the side as the woman started to speak. Yes, I believe I have requested your presence. Please, take a seat. Her echoing voice said with an almost friendly tone. I hope you like tea. Incognita said, referring to the cup on the table on the other side of the girl's chair. Waiting for the girl to sit down, she once again grabbed her cup of tea and started to stir it with a spoon, occasionally sipping from it. I believe you are curious about why I asked you to see me personally. Reason will come soon enough. Please make yourself comfortable first. Though her soft echoing voice had a polite tone, Incognita was a person one clearly never said "no" to. Not because she could easily punish or kill one in an instant, but mainly because she would react like a disappointed mother. Closed eyes, lowered head. Not terrifying to look at, absolutely not. But no one wanted failure. Failing her, was directly failing at Fate.

Vanille didn't seem to be showing any signs of being nervous any more. Incognita didn't seem to be as scary as she would of thought. There was even a cup of tea ready for her on the table. It seemed quite a polite thing to do really and that made her feel quite at ease. That and she quite enjoyed a good cup of tea. As she was offered a seat she nodded and looked to the tea, it did smell wonderful. ”Of course, thank you” she said as she bowed slightly and took a small drink of the tea, which was quite soothing and well brewed. Though her thoughts were then drawn back to Incognita. Who seemed to be able to tell what she had been asking herself the whole way here really. But she decided not to try and make herself sound too eager. Instead she took Incognita's advice and got comfortable in her seat as she sipped more of the tea, soon feeling confident enough to ask.

”Might I ask why you requested this meeting Incognita-Sama?” she questioned, apparently sufficiently comfortable where she was ready to start the conversation as to why exactly she had been called here. For now she would simply stay silent and await what Incognita had to say.

A confirming nod could be noticed from Incognita as Vanille sat down in order to get comfortable. So it is true... This girl does act rather passive for an arrancar to be... But the same time, she isn't completely apathic either. I believe she can do things for herself, if deemed necessary. Incognita thought as her green eyes analyzed the other Arrancar. She stopped before it seemed like she stared, returning to stirring the the tea. This situation would have been awkward for her, but as her comprehension of emotions was as good as Ulquiorra's, it was more of an indifferent passive situation. "Curious why I asked you to come here? I would been surprised otherwise." she said, putting down the cup of tea on a small table. She rose from the throne, revealing her immense height, 7'5" feet. Incognita had some experience with people scaring other people by saying that she was "a huge arrancar with muscles and masculine appearance". She was very feminine and slender with quite the bust, though. Never judge a book by the cover, but do not believe in everything that's written in it either...
She slowly started to walk towards the huge glass-window behind the throne. "Have you ever wondered why Las Noches was built, Vanille?" she asked with her back turned to the girl. "When I first arrived here, I wondered how Aizen built something this enormous. How many hollows he had to enslave in order to perfect this vast castle. That does not matter to me now. I don't want to know how and why he created this. All I know, is that I will protect this castle. Not for Aizen's cause. I want Arrancars to have a home... And I want the Soul Reapers to know that we are still a great power. A power that should not be underestimated." she slowly turned herself towards Vanille. And I want you to help me. By what I have heard of you, you are trustworthy and can carry out orders. I don't want a puppet, no. I want someone I can trust. she stopped speaking now, waiting for Vanille's reaction.

In truth, Incognita was partly lying to the Arrancar. She didn't want to protect Las Noches, not more than she wanted to protect the human world. But she wanted someone to trust. It was almost impossible to find a trustworthy companion, though. She hoped this Vanille could be trusted somewhat at least. "Your first mission will be an intel mission. Please do not reveal that the Espada is alive. I want to know exactly who is protecting Karakura Town, before an eventual invasion." she turned her back to the girl and closed her eyes. "I am believe this mission will be piece of cake for someone on your level." Incognita turned around to look at Vanille. "Fate is counting on you." Her green eyes continued to stare at the girl.

Vanille looked up to Incognita as she stood up, not one for rumours she hadn't heard she looked masculine but even if she had, this would have been proven wrong just by seeing her in person. She nodded at the first question, taking another sip of her tea, apparently enjoying it. But as she was asked why Las Noches was built, she couldn't be sure as she didn't think of such things often, in fact all she had ever seen Las Noches as is a home and nothing more. Though that didn't mean she didn't treasure it dearly. To know Incognita felt the same way was quite a good thing in Vanille's eyes, she wasn't about infinite power, as Aizen had been but was instead concerned with the people that were there to help her.. a true leader. Though, the last part of the sentence confused her... she had never been told she was trustworthy, or that she could carry out orders... maybe it was just a guess, but of course if asked she would do it. She looked somewhat speechless actually, so much to take in all at once. ”Of course.. Incognita-Sama” even a few minutes she still seemed surprised. Though it seemed only more surprises were to come.

A mission? Simple as it was, she didn't know exactly how to go about such a thing, it wasn't often she left Hueco Mundo.. But, if those were her orders of course she was going to go. Finishing off her tea she would stand up. ”Might I ask a question?” She waited a moment before continuing. ”Why have you chosen me? I don't think I have actually done anything notable in my whole existence as an arrancar” she was being blatantly honest really, and couldn't work it out why she had been chosen. With a whole army at her disposal, with Vanille probably being the least violent out of all of them... that could be a reason, but she doubted it.

Ulquiorra was out to replace his Tercera number into Segunda, the process went smoothly, or as smoothly as any, it was taken care of by a numero and it took only about 20 minutes Ulquiorra had something important on his mind and thought that she should know their leader that is, a mission he had in mind, off course it could as well have been a complete waist of time but at least it was something, as soon as it was done he zipped his shirt and stood up, withouth a reply Ulquiorra started to walk with very deceisive steps out of the room the numero simply bowing at his way, he kept his spiritual pressure down while holding his both hands in his pocket`s, after a while of walking, he approached the throne room his steps echoing in the hallway... he stopped right in front of it supressing his spiritual power, Ulquiorra sensed someone inside besides the leader, he had never sensed her before at least not this close, nor so directly he could determinate that it was a woman and that it was not an Espada, since he knew more or less everyone of them, futhermore she seemed to lack the qualities that an Espada posessed... more than that was anyone`s guess...

If he wanted to know more he would have to approach this arrancar, then again she was none of his intrest, if she was Incognita`s personal lap dog then he had nothing more to add This is Ulquiorra... I`m coming in the doors opened seemingly by themselfs as Ulquiorra stepped in being alone and all, the woman seemed to be rather short well toned, he held little attetion to the woman but kept staring at Incognita he did not bow to her but seemed to be determinated to get to the point why he was here in the first place...

Excuse my intrusion... Incognita-sama, but i have reason to think that you would enjoy our discussion, Aizen left us a gift it is only natural for us to find it before its too late... he stared at Incognita with a serious attitude, remained standing and keeping a distance of at least 15 meters, not because he feared her but naturally because he saw no reason to get closer, they could hear each other just fine from this distance withouth the need to raise their voice... he pulled out his left arm and placed it on his chest where number 2 was covered by his hakama, he held no intrest for the ranking all that mattered was that he could serve their leader... the double door went shut behind him...

If one looked past the fact that Incognita was a female with a masquline appearence and quite the bust then they where not so different from each another, their eyes remarked of that fact more than enough, their hair was quite messy and on the front stylished almost in a same way, altrough her hair was longer even across her forehead and consealed one of her eyes...

Some light footsteps could be heard, and the small frames of the ever so loyal Luna stepped out from the shadows, having entered before the doors had closed completely. She was dressed in the usual non-revealing uniform, her long sleeves covering up her hands that were hanging loosely down her sides. Her sword was located on her right hip, she always seemed to carry it around. There was no real expression on her rather young face, yet it seemed a little softer than the blank expression her master had most of the time. Keeping herself 4 feet behind Ulquiorra, she turned her blue eyes onto Incognita, whom by far was the tallest in the room. She had encountered the new leader before, but she had yet to understand the complex personality of her. An unknown face was present next to the leader, a girl with red hair around two inches shorter than herself. The girl was most likely one of the fraccions, or one of the personal guards Luna had heard a little about. She turned her gaze onto Ulquiorra, the feeling of being fraccion to one of the most powerful arrancars still sinking in. Luna didn`t really care what rank her master had, but the fact that Ulquiorra had chosen to rise further in rank had surprised her, he had never really seemed like a person who desired more power. Turning her gaze towards Incognita again, she remained silent.
