Instead, he had decided that he should try out a bit of his abilities. He had near forgotten about them since things had become so busy; Kira and his progression in their relationship, the villa, the pizzeria, his new line of business; things like that drove a lot from your mind. And, curious about whether or not they still worked, Katou had perched himself on the bar disk, concentrating. Uriel had mentioned that his ability to modify his face at would become increasingly harder as time passed and would soon disappear altogether - latest when his body structure settled in completely.
It was with Renji’s face replacing his own that the junkie welcomed his future manager, grinning broadly and holding a cigarette between the shinigami’s own white teeth. He raised an eyebrow at him, amused and stuck out his tongue. A small drop of sweat trickled down the side of his face.
"'Good to see ya, Renji-kun, my man." He said, acting as though there was absolutely nothing remotely wrong about the situation.
( ooc; hope that was understandable xD;; Unfortunately I don't have the right icon lol, but Katou is very talented at doing the likes of this. )

Renji was looking at his own face. Strangely enough, the only thing that could really register about the situation was that he didn't smoke, and that therefore the version of him in the bar shouldn't be smoking, either.
"Uhhhhhh," was all he managed - that and a rather stupid-looking face.

Calming down slightly after a moment or two, the junkie straightened up once more and, deciding the joke had gone far enough, grabbed a hold of his face (well, Renji’s face) and tore it right off, his real appearance showing up underneath the organic mask. The ripped off skin dissolved into his hand and arms, as though it had never been there. He gave a short chuckle, raising a hand in apology. “Sorry, man, couldn’t resist,” he said, jumping off the bar and walking towards him.
“Haven’t tried it in a while, wanted to see if it still worked.” It had, that was for sure. Only it had been much harder than ever before. The few beads of sweat on his forehead gave that away quite clearly.

"Dude," he said, after a stunned moment. "That's fuckin' creepy. And Kira said you were human!"
He smirked, though; his comments were good-natured, if a little weirded out.
"So! Tell me about this place. 'Portant stuff first. Is my chair comfy?"

He was having fun. The more time he spent with Renji the more he began to notice just how much he valued the red-head shinigami. He was a good guy, the kind of person he could become tight friends with in very little time. They were already working on it, he could feel it.
“Chair’s as comfy as you want it, dude,” he replied in amusement. He knew what priorities came first. “You choose, it’s your office isn’t it?” He paused for a moment, dropping the cigarette and stepping on it. “Basically I need someone to take care of this place when I’m busy, my right-hand man. I got a lot of plans with it, beyond - oh I dunno - the expectations of normal bars…” He winked.
( ooc; business!man Katou funfunfun♥ I love having him interact with Renji, those two should be bff soon y/n? )

Kira really was weird. A sword who fucked foliage?
Renji snorted a little laugh at that thought. But he was here for a reason, so he tried not to think of the mental image that brought him, and looked around. It was a nice place - he could get used to it.
"Don't worry, man," Renji smirked. "I'll take good care of this place for ya."

“I’m thinking of an opium den,” he said, after a moment of thought, waving his hand up and down in the air. “Or something like that; basically the centre of our Rivelatian drug-network. I see you’re doin’ well with the business, you’ll be just fine handling that, am I right?”
“I’ll be around much in the beginning o’ things and I’ll have my own office upstairs next to yours but once all’s settled in…” He trailed off once more, leaned his back against the bar and clicked his fingers, finishing off by pointing towards Renji smugly.
“Then I’ll just be popping by now and again, check and that everything’s runnin’ well. With me so far?”

Renji'd experimented with opium, rather successfully, he'd thought, save for Byakuya's reaction at the time. If there was a place he could continue his experimentation, as it were, without Byakuya finding out...
"Yep," he smirked. "Definitely with you."
"When's the party opening?"

“I’m still looking for a couple more employees,” the junkie replied. “Supplies, furniture, the works. Probably in a week or so, if everything goes smoothly. I’ll need your help with this, though.” If Renji could fish up some more bar tenders, everything would be done much sooner than expected. After all, a bar wasn’t that hard to get up and running, right?

"An' help I'll give! I 'ready know a lady who might be up for the bartendin' job, too..." Kasa was definitely the kind of woman who could handle what was, er, required.
He smirked, arms crossed, surveying the bar appreciatively. He anticipated a lot of good times in this place, though they might be the sort of good times he'd have to keep secret from Byakuya.
