high tea with the bat and the witch and luppi

After your rather ammusing encounter with the alluring Harribel and her fraccion you start to stroll through the halls of Las Noches. "White, white, white, WHITE!! GAAAAHH!!" You grab your hair in frustration at the sameness of it all.

Wandering lost, and muttering to yourself you start to hear what seems to be a conversation. "More tea, Ulquiorra-sama?" "Hmm...yes.." ""So Ciruuci, do you think we'll meet the mistery man?" "Eh, who's to say, he might have been eaten alive by those beasts that swarm around lady Harribel."

Following the sound of the voices you enter a small library and spy a round table surrounded by three women haveing tea. Setting down her cup a woman with pure white skin looks to your position. "You may come out now, we will not harm you."

Walking out of the shadows you wave slightly. "Uh...hi, I hope I'm not interupting anything, I kinda wandered into here." Nodding politly the chalk white skined women introduces herself and her companions.

"I am Ulquiorra Cifer, with me are my fraccion." Pointing to the girls in time. "Cirucci Sanderwicci, and Luppi Antenor." Uliquiorra looks toward you again, you catch a small glimmer of hope in her eyes that flashes ever so slightly. "Would you care to join us for tea John?"

You nod and smile to the girls. "I dont see why not, what are we haveing?" A very small hint of a smile cracks Ulquiorra's stoic face as you sit down next to her. "Earl grey." Meanwhile a minor arguement has broken out between Cirucci and Lupi.

"I wanna pour for John!" "No, I get to, you poured for Ulquiorra-sama!" The two are plastered together by the foreheads stareing daggers at each other. "BITCH!" "SOW!" Chuckling at the display you look to Ulquiorra who has a tic mark growing on her head.

"You are embarrassing me in front of our guest..." Her monotone voice seems laced with venom. The girls squeek in alarm and start bowing to you and Ulqui. (In tandem) "Sorry Ulquiorra-sama, Sorry John-sama, please forgive us." Placeing a comforting hand on Ulqui's shoulder you smile to her.

"No harm done, right? They just wanted to impress." You swear you see a tiny ammount of pink form under Ulqui's large doe like green eyes. "Y-yes, no harm done. Lupi, you may pour for John. Cirucci, you may bring John a snack plate."

The two girls hop in place and squeel in happiness at the compromise. After getting your supriseingly good tea and a plate stacked with an assourtment of cakes and cookies you'r quiet moment is broken again by Ulqui. "So John, how have you fared in Las Noches so far?"

"Pretty well, in takeing into account bieng pounced on by a horny blue panther, saveing a lonely Coyote from falling out a window, and being kidnaped by a blond shark and the three stooges." Cirucci and lupi are sniggering at your colorful explanation of your trials so far.

Ulqui however has cocked her head in confusion. "Um...the three stooges?" Cirucci takes the initiative by explaining for you. 'Gnk....I think John is speeking about Lady Harribel's fraccion Ulquiorra-sama." "Ah...I see, it is a fitting description." Ulqui cracks another small smile.

Ulqui clears her throught slightly. "John...I know I may not seem like a loveing person...but...I would..do anything to be chosen by you." The last section of her impromptue speech could barely be heared even in the quiet room. You look into her eyes and spy great sadness, and lonelyness.

A simmilar feeling you got from all the girls you have met sofar. The tense moment is broken by a sudden burst of static and a loud bouisterous voice. "HOLA NINO, it is I the GREAT Dordonii Alessandro del.." Lupi slams her hands on the table. "DAMN IT PANINI!!! YOU'R STUPID INTRO RUINED THE MOMENT!!!"

"Non, non, I am not the delicious grilled sandwich, I am the great Dordonii Alessandro del.." "SHUT UP PANINI!!!!!" Cirucci and Lupi scream. "After poping your ears and helping Ulqui up of the floor. (The blast wave blew you and Ulqui of your chairs. You turn to Dordonii. "Um....what can I do for you senor?" Dordonii kneals at your feet.

"Aizen-dono has requested your presince in the meeting hall Nino, Something about averting a large scale riot." with that Dordonii phases out of the room with another blast of static. With a deadpan expression you turn to the girls. "Um...am I the only one who realises that he didnt tell me WHERE the meeting hall is?"

Cirucci and Lupi face fall at your statement. Ulqui meanwhile giggles ever so slightly. "THAT IDIOT!!!!" Cirucci and Lupi scream in rage. Ulqui places her hand on your shoulder. "If you would like, I would be honored to take you there John." Ulqui's monotone voice is tinged with a very slight tone of hope.

You grin to her and chuckle happly. "I guess I'm at your mercy then Ulqui-chan." Useing the nickname has Ulquiorra struggleing to keep her neutral expression from breaking out in a deep blush. "W-well then, let us be off."
