The night began without so much as a bird call. Nothing seemed to give announcement that they day had ended. It was as rapid as a blink. One moment, the sun was in the sky. The next? It had been replaced by the moon. Grimm was concentrating so intently that he didn't even notice the transition. Yellow eyes pierced the darkness. A streetlight beneath him gave enough light to see. Standing atop the pole, the Quincy couldn't believe it. He had just watched a teenager, someone his age, threaten a grown man with a blade for his wallet.

There was something wrong with that picture. Crouching down, the black moccasins that he wore on his feet to reduce noise slid silently along the top of the steel lamp. Pushing up hard, he kicked off the telephone pole. Not a trace of spiritual energy was needed for his movements. Due to the fact that the majority of his life had been spent hunting Hollow and other dastardly creatures, as well as attempting to slay them, Grimm's body was quite honed. Perfectly carved, it was another tool that he used in his nightly missions.

Landing behind the teenager, the kid turned around and attempted to run from the shaking, scared man. Blindly, he struck into Grimm, who's body did not waver. Bouncing off, the teenager landed on his ass. Hard. "What the F**k is your problem?" Snarling through the darkness, Grimm's eyes blazed with an intense anger behind them. "Stealing? Threatening? What else have you been doing? Tell me why I shouldn't kill you right now." Death was a very real part of Grimm's life, so he thought nothing of threatening it upon this kid. The boy thought it was pretty harsh, though.

"Wow, man. I steal some money and you want to kill me? That's pretty harsh." The kid had some balls. Despite the fact that he was knocked to the ground, he still tried to mouth off at the Quincy. Mistake. Kneeling down so they were eye level, Grimm reached out his hand and wrapped his fingers around his throat. It was a slow, deliberate action. The teen was meant to see every movement that Grimm made. And he did. He watched, but did not react. He couldn't. Grimm's spirit pressure sky-rocketed and flattened the boy.

"Killing? I'm not killing. I'm just stealing. I'm stealing your life, just as you stole that man's money. Where is the difference? I see none." Teeth gritted in harsh fangs, his fingers squeezed slightly. Of course, he had no intention to kill the kid. Not for this. But it was still damn scary. "I'm... sorry..." Wheezing, the boy's face was turning blue. Releasing it, Grimm instead grabbed onto the collar of his shirt. Hoisting him into the air, he stared the boy down.

"Don't apologize to me, you insolent worm. Apologize to the one you threatened to kill. And don't skip out. I'll be watching." Suddenly, the kid was released, and Grimm was gone. A simply Hirenkyaku set him atop the building to their immediate left. Watching the kid go over and apologize to the man he robbed, as well as relinquishing all that he had stolen, Grimm smiled.

Fear wasn't always the best answer. But it usually got the best results.

On top of the building behind grimm a blue,white light bathed him.out from the light stepped a long white captains hoari which is sldeveless with a hood.the red silk lining accenting in the moon glow. A voice came through the night" its a beautiful night isn't it?" The man remained unmoved his hands to his sides.

(Sorry it's a short post)

"Indeed it is." Grimm did not turn around to acknowledge the captain. Not yet. He was too focused on the boy below, making sure he was doing good instead of evil. A few moments passed, Grimm silently staring down, until he was pleased. Turning, a sated smile on his face told that he was happy. "How are you on this fine night?" No, Grimm wasn't shocked by the apperance of the captain. Aside from the fact that he could feel the reishi in the atmosphere moving to form the Senkaimon, he also released a rather large burst of reiatsu earlier. That was sure to draw some attention.

"The name is Grimm. Grimm Verbrennung." Offering his hand, the Quincy surprisingly had no qualms with this Shinigami. It was true that a Shinigami had killed his father, and it was true that the Shinigami had wiped out the Quincy a few decades ago. He wore a Captain's uniform. If a shinigami achieved the rank of Captain, they must be good at their job. In essence, their job was to keep the balance of souls from spilling to one side. That meant they fought Hollows and protected the innocent. The shinigami were okay with Grimm if only for that.

I reach our and accept the hand offered to me" its nice to meet you grumm. I am captain of squad ten Tazuma koshi. You can call me taz if you wish. It must have been you I felt eariler. You see i feel reiatsu as posed to sensing it." I shake grimms hand then let go.looking down at the streets below us" its a shame that humans choose to,do evil when they are capable of such good."

Walking ignorantly down the street was a young bount. He was dressed up in a pair of light-wash, skinny jeans; a purple Fox t-shirt; a black button-wielding jacket; and a pair of brown moccasins. Cobalt blue headphones covered his ears, attached to a MP3 player placed in the pocket of his jacket. Short walks like this was normal; who didn't wonder the streets of their small town? Even Lorelei seemed to enjoy this walks. Right now, she was dressed in a violet coat and matching boots over her four feet. The doll even had her own set of headphones over her ears. No one really questioned such a thing. Sure he had realized a few odd gazes but many just thought it was an adorable accessory for a teacup pig.

Wait... Something horrible caught Keoni's gaze. A boy was being attacked by some mugger! Cobalt would surely never allow something so awful to continue, circus people were actually rather nice. Besides... Cobalt had been kind enough to allow Keoni to work for him for free~ Keoni placed his headphones around his neck and sprinted over to the young boy being mercilessly attacked. Or... was the child being mugged..? Keoni doubted this could be anything worse then a mugging. "Hey-! Stop that!" He yelled at the mugger, but it seemed he had grown bored of choking a kid and jumped away like a ninja.

Keoni held his hands out towards the child. It was strange really... Every time Keoni looked at someone who seemed his age, it was always hard to think they were so new to this world... "You alright~?" Keoni questioned the child with a smile so bright, it crassly mocked the sun. Once Keoni was sure the child was alright and he helped him up, he looked over his shoulder. Of course, Keoni wouldn't do anything stupid, but... He shook his head. Maybe he should just call the police. They would arrest the mugger and the kid could get a ride home... Seriously? I can't act so cowardly anymore... I work for Cobalt~ To work for an amazing circus performer and successful business man was great, wonderful really. That meant Keoni could see Cobalt and freely snap pictures, pictures with Cobalt actually glancing at the camera~! Wait... Wait... He should focus. "You!" He called as he dashed towards Grimm. "W-Why did you choke a kid?! You, uh, shouldn't do that! He could have gotten brain damage... or passed out... He could have even died." What was Keoni doing? Yeah... he had planned on confronting the muggers, but there really hadn't been a plan. So... his confrontation had turned into a lecture. "It's not nice to choke people." Keoni said with a deep frown, his hands resting on his hips, as if the motion would reinforce the lecture. Even if this man was some cool black-belt, he would not avoid the lecture! Besides, a ninja was nowhere as cool as a circus performer.

"Kyaaaaaaa!" The cry echoed through the streets, a loud, tearful exclamation before the end of a life. The cry was unlike any ordinary scream. It was full of torment, agony and pain as it was supposed to be.

"That's too bad," Blood splattered over his face and clothes the human-looking man smiled at the sight of two bloodied bodies skewered by spikes of earth. He wore a black trenchcoat that was buttoned and zipped closed with black leather pants and heavy black boots. Under that trenchcoat he had a nice white collared shirt and an expensive golden necklace and number of bracelets. His clean golden hair was stained red by the blood that managed to splash unto him when he tore the man apart, matching those ruby eyes of his.

The energy to use these, though only a fleeting moment, were probably well received by any with any sort of spiritual detection. Of course, he killed the older gentleman first before taking the boys legs. It was then that the beautiful, elegant song came from the boys mouth before the rest of his body was rended and splattered like spilled red paint in an allyway. How much that must have hurt...

"Why should you deserve mercy? I think this color suits you," The individual said, looking over at the boisterous young boy with the pig. Who was he? Some knight here to save the day? How...Interesting, probably. After traveling so far after a bit of information, seeing something interesting would be nice.

He looked away from the boy a moment to look at the mess he made. He lifted up a boot, blood dripping down and stuck to the bottom. "How dare you stain my clothes," He said, though it was a low utterance that was mostly to himself.

Nodding, Grimm agreed. The humans were impossible to teach, because none of them believed they were doing wrong. "Well Taz... There's no harm, here. If you decide that you should return to Soul Society in order to wait for a real emergency, I understand." Suddenly, a spike of energy alerted him to the presence of three more beings. One was an odd little pig thing. Why it possessed reiatsu Grimm would never know. The other was a boy whom appeared to dominate the pig. Finally, a man-like creature, too close to human to tell the difference, had joined them as well.

"Look, kid. If I had to scare him a little bit so he wouldn't take a life, then I had to do it. Don't be so naive in thinking the world is a nice place." His eyes brushing past the bount, Grimm faced the demon that had joined them. "Let me give you an example." Staring down below, the quincy's rage began to grow as he saw the blood from both people, the ones he had tried to save, splattered across the ground and walls of the alley.

"You see that Demon behind you? He doesn't deserve his life. He's a threat to those around us. He must be eliminated to protect those that can't protect themselves. It's not natural order, but it's how things have to be done." Raising his left arm from his side, Grimm extended it out and concentrated. Not a moment passed before his bow formed. Six feet tall, brown, with two dragon heads (one tipping each end) glaring at the extremes, Grimm smirked. Then, he jumped off of the roof. Landing on the ground, he drew his bow and faced the demon once more.

Reaching with his free hand, he plucked at the string that only materialized when it was needed. Pulling back, reishi from the atmosphere was suddenly called towards Grimm. Orange like the sparks of a flame, the spirit particles formed the arrow rather quickly. Releasing the string, the flaming munition, roughly three feet long, shot through the air towards Cubix. Staring down at the demon as the arrow rocketed with intense speed, Grimm's body was solid as a rock.

What now?

"don't be foolish grimm.i just got here." I can feel the reiatsu of three others getting closer.then two other pele join us on the roof. A boy and a pig. I look at them and say"hello my name is Tazuma Koshi captain of squad ten. Then grimm draws his bow and fires an arrow at the third being. I,draw my zanpacto from my shoulder shethe and stand ready.

(OOC: Taz, I never left the rooftop. I'm still up there. Keoni came to join me, I believe, considering he stated that he moved to where I was.)

What a heinous scream... Keoni's hesitant, fiery blue eyes were stolen from the mugger. The previously choked child and the old man near him were... They were... Oh wow. Keoni gaped, his hands flying to his mouth. A man with interesting colored eyes, Are they scarlet..?, was standing before the bodies. After a few seconds of a transfixed eyes, his eyes fluttered away... staring into random air. That man had killed an old man and child in cold blood... in front of three people..? Were did he find those guts of his..? The Black Market? "You... You..." Recently, Keoni had saw quite a few people senselessly kill innocent humans. "Why? What did you get from that?!" Keoni screamed at the top of his lungs, his eyes aiming to lock with those scarlet eyes. A bount was lecturing someone on killing humans? But... it was wrong... So wrong for these super-humans and energy-overflowing creatures to senselessly kill humans. "Tell me why! What was the point of that?!" Keoni growled.

Briefing, his attention rested on the mugger. "Don't-!" He argued. The mugger was going to kill a man for killing people? Such a horrid punishment... Couldn't he just hand the man over to the police..? "Let him explain himself!" Killing this man would make the mugger just as hienous as the murderer. Monsters... Monsters that saw nothing would with causing harm and untimely deaths to others. That string... How did Keoni get himself in another situation like this? Stalking Cobalt... even creating a snowman..! Keoni felt like he had been carelessly tossed into a mirror maze. This time, Keoni would make sure he got an explaination for the senseless killing of people. Even if the answer was what Keoni expected, a simple 'just because'', he'd be satisified. How idiotic... Just... It ticked him off to no end to watch humans die for no reason! Even if this super-human thought killing a murderer would make everything right in the world, it wouldn't. "'The police should deal with this!" Keoni told the mugger, still trying to stop him for attacking the murderer. "Explain yourself!" Keoni repeated, stomping his right foot... in a crude mockery of a childish tantrum.

From the sky, another ninja appeared. Or... was this just another super-human..? Maybe it'd be for the best if Keoni walked a little bit away and made an important call to the police. Nice night? Did that man not realize an innocent child and an old man had just been murdered in cold blood?! Keoni swooped up Lorelei into his arms and took a few steps back, distantig himself from the possible battle. "Please, stop this! Let him explain-!" Keoni's growls had started to dissolve into pathetic pleas. Keoni hated how his own ressolve had been easily destroyed. Keoni locked his gaze back onto the murderer and returned to the crass, childish tantrum. "Explain yourself! Explain!" He howled in a whine while stomping his right foot.
