[A Yamamoto pops into existence in the Seireitei. Glowering around, he says only one thing.]

Hmph.

[OOC: Hello, young whippersnappers! Have a canon-to-365 Yamamoto!]

...Soutaichou?

[goteifirefightr]

Yes.

Who are you?

[oneremaining]

[A different one, then.]

...Ashi- ...Kano Ashido. I'm assigned to First.

[goteifirefightr]

[He might be old, but his memory is still quite sharp] Kano...formerly of the 13th, considered lost after a hollow-slaying mission?

[oneremaining]

[Well that took him by surprise. And the mun, too. He's almost tempted to deny it, as he had done with Ukitake, but thinks better of it.]

...Yeah. That's right.

[goteifirefightr]

[Well, I've got to believe that he created quite a stir when he scared a bunch of hollows back to Heuco Mundo.]

Good to see you alive.

[oneremaining]

[I guess so. xD I think I was more surprised at you knowing my headcanon for him.]

...

Thank you, sir.

[goteifirefightr]

[OOC: I looked up his past threads when I first saw him after I joined, since I didn't know who he was offhand. I happened to remember you mentioned he was in 13th.]

I'm going to be arranging a captain's meeting soon. Since I don't feel my lieutenant here, you will help me make arrangements.

[oneremaining]

((OOC: Ohh, that explains it. Yeah, I took a poll of a few people to decide. xD))

[There's a little hesitation, but he nods.]

...What'll I need to do?

[goteifirefightr]

Simply help arrange for a room and other administrative matters.

Have you explored this world much during your stay?

[oneremaining]

[Another nod.]

...I'm familiar with the unclaimed territory between here and Las Noches. I... spend a lot of time fighting Hollows out there, when I'm not on duty on the borders. I've seen some of the Neutral Zone, too.

[goteifirefightr]

It seems to me that the unclaimed territory provides the best route for Aizen's troops, if they wish to attack us. However, I do not know this territory well.

What do you think?

[oneremaining]

...The unclaimed territory circles the entirety of Seireitei, except where our borders meet those of the Neutral Zone. Guarding all of our borders stretches our forces thin, but there's no way to focus on one area without leaving ourselves open in another.

I fought one of the traitors recently, and one of those Arrancar a while ago. They're beyond strong. I don't know how our numbers match up, but I worry that we won't stand a chance under a full attack.

Neutral Zone is a potential strategic outpost, and there are a few Shinigami there I feel are trustworthy. But aside from them... Hollows live there, too, and as far as I can tell their leader is the Zanpakuto of one of those named as traitors. And it would be just as useful to our enemy as it would be to us. Either way, they can't be ignored.

[goteifirefightr]

In my world, we have been fighting them as well, and I am aware of their strength. It is for that reason that I believe a treaty with the Neutral is necessary, if not entirely desirable.

I have summoned a simple map here, but it lacks details about the terrain. [Handing it to him.] I would like you to use this as a guide to create a more thorough map of the Nexus as you know it.

Will you be able to do that before the meeting?

[oneremaining]

[Studies the map for a minute or two, struggling at first to place everything from the different perspective.]

...It shouldn't be a problem. It won't take long.

[goteifirefightr]

Good. Keep me informed.
