[ Open! ]
Who: Byakuya Kuchiki, and whoever tags him :D
Where: Library
When: November 23rd, afternoon
What: Studying up on this strange new realm, possibly making new enemies friends?
Rating: PG at most
So it seemed...he was stuck here, for awhile. Stuck in an entirely foreign dimension with foreign people and foreign powers, alone. If all that wasn't bad enough, they had done something to him (put him in a gigai, perhaps?) and now everyone, even normal humans could see and hear him. It's...unsettling. Humans and spirit beings are meant to be separate, live in different dimensions and on different planes of existence for a reason. Breaking down those boundaries was just asking to destroy the balance that shinigami strove so hard to protect.
What's perhaps even more unnerving for him, however, is that he is alone--alone in a place where the name 'Kuchiki' means nothing, in which after a century of relying on servants for almost everything, he would need to learn to fend for himself, by himself. It's a small blessing that meals will be provided, but there are many things he's never bothered to learn how to do, and he will look deficient amongst these commoners if he cannot master them on his own.
...And then there is the question of money. Kuchiki Byakuya, sole heir of one of the four great noble houses, has never known want a day in his life. He's never known privation. The very notion that he could someday be in a position in which he would have to carefully monitor what he could afford or not was absurd. And yet, here he was.
One day...one day, he'd be vindicated for these indignities--he would make sure of it. But for now, he has to make his own way in this new dimension, and that means he will need to adapt. Byakuya thinks he can do that; for now, he can consider it practice for when he will need these skills as a shinigami, and as a leader. Adaptability was key to survival in many types of missions, and he is still the future captain of the Sixth Division. He would adapt, and he'd make his grandfather proud.
That's why he's here, in the library--to learn about this dimension, and what's necessary to live within it. And he can't deny that he's looking forward to that part, at least; Byakuya has always enjoyed his lessons, after all.
He stops in front of the nearest shelf, and starts scanning through the titles listed for one to read.
