Visha Interlude 2 / Interlude Compilation 2
Set some time after Visha joined the 11th
Visha sat at the long cafeteria table inside the 11th Division's mess hall, idly playing with her food. Even several years on, she was still getting used to the food of this world. No matter how much she tried to like it, it just wasn't to her taste, not really. And she really wasn't fond of the spicy ingredients the 11th's chefs seemed to determine to include in every dish that passed through their hands.
Spicy ingredients or not, Visha wasn't going to refuse or waste food; after spending time on the Rhine Front, that was just something she could never bring herself to do again. No, the food may not be to her liking, but this was ten times better than bread full of sawdust or rat cooked over the weak flames of guttering campfires, among the other trench cuisine she'd eaten in those squalid holes.
Looking around the crowded mess hall, Visha saw that most of the 11th Division was already drunk or close to it; clearly, they were having a good time, even though Visha herself was feeling pretty terrible at the moment. She had been here in this strange world for long enough that she had gone from a feral killing machine lurking in the woods to a proud member of a division of battle maniacs, and though said battle maniacs were fun reminders of old times long ago and far away, their camaraderie also reminded her of what she had lost along the way.
And that reminder sometimes put Visha in a sucky mood, especially when she had enjoyed a large number of alcoholic drinks. Somehow, those drinks only muddled her problems, instead of helping her to cope. Already, the former Russy could tell that she wasn't going to be pleasant company this evening; she was probably going to spend the night sulking, before eventually giving it up as a bad job and heading home. Honestly, hanging out with a bunch of drunks was only really entertaining when she knew them, and when she wasn't haunted by the people she really wanted to be drinking with.
"HEY there! What got your face all upside down?!" Slurred a female voice, before Visha found herself under assault by a woman wrapping herself around her shoulders, and pulling her close. It took a moment for her to recognize said woman as she was drawn far too close for comfort.
"Rangiku?" Visha said as she was pulled in close for a side hug by the taller Matsumoto. "What are you doing here?" she asked the blo… her hair was reddish-blond? 'When did that happen?' She mentally asked in confusion.
Rangiku had been one of the first women Visha had met when she arrived in Central. After having a check-up with the Captain of the Fourth Division, where it had been recommended that she meet with Rangiku, so Visha would have expert guidance as she got herself cleaned up and acquired new clothing in the local style. Visha had agreed, since she obviously needed something less ragged than her poor old flight suit, which hung in tatters. By the time she'd come to Central, the flight suit was more patches made from bandit clothing than original fabric, and that had been ignoring the damage from her fight with Kenpachi.
Rangiku had been very kind and helped her get some new clothing as well as take her by a public bathhouse which was a real soap that had helped get the blood out of her hair more than any of her attempts to get it clean in the woods.
After that, Visha had kept in contact with the older women, but they didn't talk very often. As the lieutenant of the 10th Division, Rangiku was a busy person, and Visha had soon found herself enrolled in the local school for her official training so she could go out and fight monsters in the approved manner. Visha had decided to go along with the whole educational thing as a way of saying thank you to Kenpachi; after all, he had pulled her out of a dark place, whether he'd intended to so or not, and she had no other way to readily repay him. One thing Tanya had worked to instill deep in her soul was loyalty, and Kenpachi deserved a piece of that loyalty for pulling her back from the brink. So Visha had worked her ass off to make sure she would be able to join his division, assuming that, like Tanya, he would only accept the best of the best into his unit… Admittedly, she had since learned that she'd been a bit wrong on that score, but there were still some similarities between her former and current commanders' leadership styles, especially when it came to fighting. In some ways, her initial comparison between Kenpachi and Tanya Degurchaff hadn't been as far off as one might think.
"There's a party with big strong men and alcohol. How would I not be here?" Rangiku said, slurring her words slightly as she ran her hand through Visha's hair before finally letting go and taking a seat next to Visha. Smiling as she noted where Visha was looking and said "like my hair? Felt like going bit red so picked up some hair color from a local store."
"It looks good?" Visha said not really sure about but she wasn't going to push to poke hard on it, she never had much time or reason to play with her hair like that. Besides, it was a bit, wistful of the limited found her family had after they moved from Russy to even think about using the very expensive stuff just to color a person's hair.
"Thanks, I know it is," Rangiku said with a smile, "actually have you ever tried hair color, something tells me you look good as a blond?"
"Not really, not my thing," said shaking her head before, she continued, "so your just here to flirt with the boys?"
"Well of courses? Why isn't why you are here? " Rangiku said with a smile.
Visha shook her head "no not really just wanted to check one of these parties out, never got around to one before tonight."
"You missing out, then but hay no time like the present to find your self-boy and spend a night having fun" Rangiku
Visha's face went flush and if she had a drink in her hands she probably would spit it, "ah not really something I would do, I'm not really into the boy like that at least not yet. Just never tought to hard about romances"
"Ahh, no worries you find love sooner or later and it won't matter if it boy, or girl, you just know, who you won't spend the rest of your life with. But of course, there is nothing stopping you from having some fun along the way now is there?" Rangiku said with a wink.
"Um I guess?" she said uncomfortably by that line of thought.
Rangiku checked running Visha's shoulder, "ah so pure, for someone who goes on rampages on the field of battle you really need to loosen up off the field."
"I think I'm fine off the field, just my former commander was very reserved when came to public life," she said smiling remembering Tanya for a bit.
"Oh? A smile? Was there something going on between you and your commander in your last life? Perhaps you're not pure as I thought?" Rangiku said with raised eyebrow.
"No nope nothing like that," she said feeling flushed at the thought.
Rangiku chuckled and said, "Sure nothing happen, not some sorted tale that your keeping secret, nope, that just what I'm going to think from now on whenever you mention your last life, a life full of forbidden love perhaps?"
"You have no idea what you're talking about," Visha said shaking her head profusely. Before looking down at her food wondering where Rangiku got such perverse ideas. Perhaps she should just head home now, it would be faster, and she wouldn't have to deal with much more of these strange claims about her love life or lack of love life.
"Visha?" a male voice said sounding confused from behind her, the voice sounded familiar perhaps one of the members of the division were about to ask for a dance, she pondered, until the voice finally clicked causing her head to shoot up and she span around in her seat. Standing just behind, her wearing black robes of the Shinigami was a tall man with long brown hair tied up in a short ponytail. He was looking at her in confusion and shock, followed by a broad smile.
"Wili!' Visha said stunned by the appearance of Wilibald Koenig before she was overwhelmed and rush out of her seat hugging her former fellow, soldier tightly. She was just wanted this to be real for this not to be some alcoholic delusion. he didn't fade out of existence and was still there so that was a good sign she did not lose her marbles.
"Well now, who do we have here? Finally fine boy you like?" Rangiku teased from where she sat coughing Visha to release that women would take this much further if she didn't get some control of herself.
Letting go she said. "Um Rangiku this is Wilibald Koenig I have not seen in a long, time,"
Rangiku smiled and nodded saying "ahh I get someone who helped you before, the whole bandit genocide thing, you went on?"
"Bandit genocide?" Wilibald Koenig said confused.
"Not my story to tell, but I can tell you two want some privacy for that, so I'll be on my way, just make sure two do everything I would do, and be safe about," Rangiku said with a smile as she got up from the seat and stretched her back showing off her chest to anyone who was looking before she stated walking towered a nearby door. "Have fun with your boyfriend Visha!" she said as she exited the main building heading home hopefully.
Visha put her hand to her face and shook her head wondering if there was anyways to just avoid the blond woman for the rest of her life. Before she took a breath and turned to back to Wilibald. "Good to see you Koenig welcome to the afterlife," she said offering him the recently vacated seat.
Koenig smiled and took a seat. "A better welcome than most since getting here, though a lot more confusing"
Taking her seat as well Visha shook her head and said "don't worry about her, she is just in love with the concept of love."
Koenig nodded then said, "yeah still better than muggers trying to mug me for, my clothes because they're too fancy, I'm going to guess you had similar issues?"
"Yeah Simler, bandits were a problem in the area where I showed up… there's not much of a problem now thankfully. Though what I did seemed to been over gradized a bit, I simply followed the asymmetric warfare manual Tanya had us memorize. "
"Ah yeah, Damn good manual, help a lot in later war after you… died" Koenig said rubbing the back of his head.
"Things didn't end well did they?" Visha asked already feeling like the story was not going to be a happy one.
"Nope, and really I would like to not talk about it, instead let talking about here, so how long you been in the division, what have you been doing?"
"Not long just really joined rather recently still getting my military legs back under me, after being independent for so long, how long have you been around I haven't seen you around before."
Koenig nodded "Probably even shorter than you though I like to go out beyond central and recon map the outer districts so that's why we probably never run into each other before."
Visha nodded understanding and remembering the few times he delved into cartography while they were reckoning an area "that makes sense, going to guess you got top scores in sword combat?" she said remembering then many times he brought a sword into mage combat.
"Of courses, though I could gotten a position with the 6th if I tried harder their Kido spell, I heard the 11th had the most freedoms, so, I may flunked a few tests. Turned out to be the right moves considering you were, here, makes me wonder if anyone else is?"
That thought hadn't passed Visha's mind, and as she realized she could possibly one day see her old friend, maybe even Tanya she smiled brightly "I don't know but I hope your right we deserve peace after, and really this is the place to have it I think. "
Koenig nodded and smiled before reaching over and grabbing a cup from a nearby serving plate and holing it up in a toast. "To old friends!" he said with a smile.
"To old friends!" Visha said with a smile clicking her cup to his before she drank down the alcoholic drink. Visha smiled feeling happy, thing just looked better now, now that there were chances to see her friend again for life to be picked up again one day.
Set sometime during chapter 22
Yumichika Ayasegawa, 5th Seat of the 11th division sighed as he looked down at the old shinigami castle now overrun by bandits. So a return to from really these northern districts really all the outer districts. Frankly, it was a wonder that anyone tried to build anything out in these outer districts with how barbaric they tended to be. That was its natural state, and any efforts to change it were going to end in an eventual failure.
That is most likely why the ancient Soul Reapers and whatever organizations used to keep the peace before they abandon these districts and their castles. It was a waste of resources that could be better spent protecting the beauty of the central districts.
That being said he could understand Visha and Kenpachi's idea of Forcing bandits to police other Bandits may have a chance of actually working this far out. At a bare minimum they were not losing resources in this operation they were making the bandits kill each other and if I happen to make some Bandits strong enough to join their ranks down the line so be it.
Unfortunately, there was always going to be someone to whom serving the Soul Reapers would seem like a terrible idea and something that must be repelled against. beautiful failure of an idea that it was of course they would try it and that is why Ayasegawa was here.
One of the skill factions that thought she had put in power last time he'd gone through the region dealt with as many Bandits as he can get his hands-on, and had to stop communicating with the other groups. Then other groups in the area stopped communicating and then a local warlord supported by a noble who needed a shield in case banditry ever increased in the region of the northern sixties, Reported said the warlord was now dead and he needed someone to come out there and deal with the bandits.
Under other circumstances, this most likely would have been left to division 2 to sort out, but put together the pieces of the Fallen warlord and the Rogue Bandit police quite quickly while reading the reports. And so he figured it was better to keep this in-house with the 11th division. or at least far far away from Tanya, the little blond-haired ball of efficiency would most likely organize a Counterattack that would blow the whole thing out of proportion.
It was better to send one man to deal with the situation or two. He had considered bringing his friend Ikkaku, however, he had eventually decided against this. This situation was a golden opportunity to push the boundaries of his swordcraft.
Shaking his head Ayasegawa sighed deeply and started walking down the hill towards the castle. Yumichika Had a secret, a secret shame as it were, while Ikkaku and Where are examples of what the division strove to when it came to combating their swords having no real special abilities. Yumichika did. Fuji Kujaku was kido type Zanpakutō And in the division known for its direct combat capabilities that stood out, he's even feared that the others in the division would ostracize him for being able to use keto spells in ways not seen by their captain or their third seat. So he had Prevented it from showing its power and only ever used it as a direct combat weapon, even a few years ago he kept the fact he knew kido's to himself.
But Times have changed, the division had changed for the better for him, and it was somewhat thanks to Tanya. Her use of spellcraft to increase her combat efficiency and make it more direct attacks, had shown him that it was possible to use a kido weapon as part of the 11 Division.
And the fact that her fights had become more spectacular and enjoyed by the stadium goers adds showing him that really the division didn't care. Deep down the personnel of the 11 division was not focused on the direct combat but on putting on a good fight and show as if it were Something Beautiful to watch and have fun with.
And that was a different understanding he was slowly coming to embrace. it would take time to re Master his blade with this new understanding. However, as long as he was given opportunities like the one presented in front of him he would do so.
Looking up he saw he had finally reached the Gate of the castle and so we called "hello there, I represent 11th division and would like a talk with your leader about the lack of information being sent back to central and other stages and quite mysterious events going on in this region"
Smiling he saw a guard look over the edge of the wall at him before the head popped back out of view. He strained his ears but he couldn't Make out much conversation from up above either ignoring him or waiting for someone further up the food chain to show up.
He gave them 5 minutes, 5 minutes was plenty of time to find someone in charge if they did not show up in 5 minutes he would deal with them as he needed to. After 5 minutes though someone did show up, he heard a muffled sound and then dodged out of the way and was refused and trash that was thrown where he had been standing.
He heard laughing up above followed by taunts and all he could do was sigh as he reached for his sword and pulled it from its sheath. Looking back up at the guard who threw the trash in his general direction he said, " I tried to do this nicely I really did but you've left me no choice, Ruri'iro Kujaku." Several Vine-like tendrils shot from his blade embedding themself in the wooden door of the Fortress and with a simple pull, the whole darn thing fell apart collapsing under the strain of the weapon.
"I will see myself okay?" He said with a bemused Smile as the guards have been guarding the door ran or fell to their knees in utter Terror. With the first obstacle breached he walked into the Fortress ready to deal with the Bandit leader who'd gone Rogue. Hopefully, he would be smart enough to apologize for the situation but more likely you'll have to find someone else to run this little Outpost. trustworthy Bandits were a hard thing to find.
Sometime before Chapter 25
"You want to take a group of soul reapers for training outside the Seireitei?" Tōshirō Hitsugaya Captain of the 10 division asked as he looked over the paperwork in front of him. He expected his new third seat to want to do things differently as she had served in the 11th for nearly 10 years so some blood lust was to be expected. Frankly, he was a bit surprised that she switched divisions when the offer had been given to her, from the few times he'd seen her fighting in their Arena she looked to be having quite a bit of fun. But assuming anything about her tended to be foolhardy.
"Yes, I am of firm belief that training outside the walls will lead to a better class of soul reaper, in the long run," third seat Tanya Degurechaff said as she sat across from him hand entwined in her lap.
Intrigued by Tanya's choice of words he asked "How do you figure that?"
"During my time on the 11th, I found Those who engaged in heavy training outside the Seireitei Did better in the competitions of the Arena as well as heading higher in survival rate. those who stayed inside the walls independent of training amongst their fellows once in a while, We're not terrible but we're not as effective as they could be. This along with the fact that I found that the 11th has a generally better reputation in the outer districts wherever they are directly deployed gives me the impression that a unit training insight of the local Population of the Rukongai, We'll do better in the long term." The blonde Reaper said listing some pretty reasonable ideas on why such an operation would be beneficial to 10.
Sitting back in his chair he asked the all-important question on this subject. "this idea sounds reasonable but how exactly would the operation of yours run?"
"I will put together a team of 4 to 6 Soul Reapers, it will be the core of this training unit and make sure that everyone comes home alive. every couple of weeks I would take a formation of a dozen or two dozen Reapers who you have decided need extra training out into the Wilds of the Rukongai, I would engage you in heavy physical exercise, hollow hunting, And community outreach in order to improve certain areas opinions of Soul Reapers." She listed off several good points and Improving some areas of any of the Soul Reapers was Frank we needed from what he experienced in his life. Oh sure, Central and inner districts had no problem with the Soul Reapers and personally bigger supporters, but he's been on patrol in the outer district once or twice so they gave him certain deference. It was more of fear of what he could do to them and less what he could do for them.
Looking over the paperwork he nodded his head in agreement and also noted that there were other things that Tanya had not listed which would be beneficial in the long run as well. Mainly the little Rangiku issue. There were certain rumors swirling about that said come to his ears from members of the 10th division about Tanya. Most were just ideas that she was the little sister of Matsumoto, and perhaps got her position due to nepotism. There were a few others who are now on report for implying even further nepotism in exchange for favors.
The Quickest and easiest way to get rid of that problem was to make sure that those members of the division actually got two know Tanya, and got to see just how professional and hard-working she really was, And this would be a golden opportunity to do that, he could deal with the members of the division who are on report for unkind comments and make sure that they understand that their new third seats had got in there through hard work and determination and not some nepotistic schemes.
Thinking about it, Tanya Probably knew about this already. From what I understood she had gone into the 11th division by setting herself up as a rising star so There is no way she didn't know how to play the social status games That happened in divisions over time.
The only real reason she probably wasn't bringing it up was because of plausible deniability for himself. He wasn't going to spoil her attempts to try and integrate herself into the division.
Nodding his head he said "all right I think you have a point, I will assign some men to this operation and you can train them up as you see fit, Is there anything else we need to discuss?"
"Not particularly do I think I should mention I plan to use this operation as a testbed to determine what kind of training is best, and put together a manual for future recruits help speed the process along as it were so that we get the division up to its highest quality of standard we can," Tanya said With a smile sounding rather thoughtful on the matter.
"hmm planning on becoming a writer on your off time?" he asked with a smile.
"Something like that I just want to be helpful to make sure everyone has a better chance of surviving any conflicts they come in contact with."
Sometime after, set before chapter 25
"This is a bad idea," Visha said as she fidgeted about in her seat looking at the contract in front of her, on the dining table in front of her. Sunlight was coming from windows of her dinner and business was moderate, she didn't need to speak too loudly to be heard by her confidant in this situation.
"I'm sure this is a terrible idea… I mean renting a cabin out in the woods for you to seduce your former commander, there is no way that will not backfire, whatsoever. I mean what if it turns out she loves you taking control, then you have to always find a way to end up on top" Rangiku mused as she sat across from her sipping her coffee. "How do you make this stuff taste so good, do you have a spell or something?"
"It's family a secret," Visha said shaking her head at the Lt of the 10th not about to tell her that was just skill she built over years of effort. Especially with who likely it was she going to be teased for what she was up to.
"Hmm well fine then keep your secrets, but I think you shouldn't worry about this, you won't spend time with Tanya, somewhere secluded and won't be bothered, I see no way this can go wrong, and everything that can go right.' Rangiku said putting her cup down on the table.
"But what if I don't know she doesn't want to move our relationship forward?" Visha said running her finger along the edge of her cup.
"Yeah, I doubt that, Greatly," Rangiku said with a bemused smile as she crossed her arms under her chest.
"Why would you… SHE told you something!" Visha said her eyes widened at the realization, that Rangiku had been holding out something on her.
"Yep… in fact what I won't say, I think you're going to need to get that out of her yourself, but let just say in my third meeting with her ever, she brought you up in a roundabout way."
"What? How?" Tanya being open with someone that early in a meeting did not make sense to Visha, she was open when came to work but her private life, well even She thought Tanya was not telling her everything all the time.
"leveraged it out of her, she wanted to get to central fast, I presented that opportunities if she gave me something juicy… and that something I been watering, this entire time really," Rangiku said with a satisfied smile.
Visha's eyes widened as she said, "wait is that why you pushed for me and her to go to the drinking party at the 11th a few years back?"
"And pushed her to ask to move in, before that as well, really I been pushing you two lover bird towered each other since I figured out, you two had a thing for each other," Rangiku said with a smile.
"But why?" Visha asked wanting to know why she had been pushing for this situation.
"Simple, you both were screwed up when you got here, and love fixes everything if given enough time, that, you make a cute couple. Though if I had gone of strictly a cute couple I probably would push harder on trying to get Tanya and Hitsugaya to get together," she said with a bemused tone.
"Wait what you tried to get Tanya and Hitsugaya together?" Visha asked sitting back in her seat completely stunned by what she was hearing.
"Only a little push, this was before I knew about your and Tanya's prior relationship so though those two might rub off on each other in a good way. Considering she took the job as the third seat I think it worked to make them friends at least which is a win in my book," she said happily.
"Your some level of evil," Visha said realizing how much the older Shinigami had been playing with their lives over the last few years.
"Ah evil is the subject of but hey you have evil Shinigami of love on your side, that should be a sign that this trip in the woods will be a major success?" Rangiku said giving her a thumbs up.
"How do figure that?" She asked with a tone of un-surety.
"We'll let look at my pushes, I pushed her move in she moved in I pushed you to take her to party you ended up moving closer, I thinking I'm batting 100 at the moment, so now I'm telling you that your idea to take her into the woods for a night away from the world, will work, trust that instinct that told that was a good idea more and you won't need me around to push you in the right direction." She said listing things of by coughing them on her hand.
Visha signed screwed herself and then said "alright I'll do it." she said reaching for paperwork and quicklity filling it out. She didn't knows what would happen but if Rangiku thought it would work out, then she would go forward with it, she would just that instinct and go for it,
Once she was done filling out she sighed and put down the pen cracking her knuckles before saying, "alright it is done, I just have to take this by the rental office, and me Tanya can have a vacation."
"Good now, let's get you something to wear for that vacation," Rangiku said getting up from her seat and fishing her coffee in one go leaving. Before placing the cup on the table.
"Wear?" Visha said confused? As she watched the red-blond woman tie her sword back to it place on her back.
"You plan to seduce your former commanding officer. It's best to have an outfit to make sure they have no way of saying no, unless they're an idiot or don't swing your way. And we already know she swings your way." Rangiku said waiting for her to stand.
"Alright, alright," Visha said standing up from her seat and signaling some of their waitresses to take care of the table. 'But nothing too exotic okay?"
"Okay, though I think you underestimate what exactly is exotic… but trust me the place where going got good stuff, and your instinct will know what to get.
Put this story anywhere you want in the timeline that makes sense to you.
"Rangiku there is no way in hell I am doing that," the short blonde said as she sat behind her desk looking up at the older. Rangiku Matsumoto was standing in front of Tanya's desk broadcasting how annoyed she was thru her body language which happen to mirror each other, both their arms under their chest as they stared each other down.
"Oh come on I got you a good deal just one appearance and you'll have the next 50 years of your SWA do's paid for", Matsumoto said rather annoyed that Tanya was putting up such a big fight about this.
"You're asking me to sell something a lot more valuable to me than you apparently, there's no way that I would take payment in an arbitrary number of due years, what if the due was to fall then I'm being short-changed, besides that, I'm getting no hard Capital out of this business proposal and selling away my likeness rights for a pittance."
"Likeness," the blonde lieutenant asked tilting her head, "you're concerned about your likeness rights over something like this."
"You're asking me to pose for pictures for a pin-up calendar," Tanya said standing up from her seat, her palms down on the table and she continued to stare up at the older blonde. Matsumoto had not realized how tall she was compared to Tanya, normally her overpowered personality would make her feel small, guess she finally found a chink in the shorter blonde's armor.
"Oh it's not that bad I did one 10 years ago and the boost in revenue for the SWA has kept me not having to pay dues for that entire time, if prices on the dues hadn't gone up it probably would not have to do this one either."
Tanya was giving her an evil glare as she mentioned that after a moment of thinking she realized 'oh Tanya was right'.
"All right you might have a point there but I'm sure if we have a nice conversation with the treasurer you can negotiate a deal you're more comfortable with."
"You're asking me to sell pictures of myself in a bikini, you want me to objectify myself for a pittance. I am the third seat of this division. I need to maintain an air of control and authority and this act would seriously hamper those efforts."
"Okay first you will not be in a bikini. The theme this year is bunny suit," Matsumoto said with a smile as she explained. "If anything you will be in more clothing than I was in 10 years ago."
"A wonderful improvement," Tanya said, shaking her head giving the air of she was not buying that argument one little bit before she said, "so instead of prancing around half-naked I get to say what's up doc in clothing that still objectifies me and removes an air of authority."
"The second point you're not the only one being objectified here technically we are turning all the men who are going to buy this calendar into money giving objects.'' Matsumoto pointed out hoping that would help win the argument
"Still removes an air of authority," Tanya said, sitting down and pulling up her paperwork appearing to get ready to start ignoring Rangiku and doing her own thing.
"Oh, don't worry about that lieutenants and captains have taken part in these calendars both the male and female version.'' Rangiku said, shaking her head.
"There's a male version?" Tanya said looking up at her I've been surprised.
"Oh yeah, what do you think half the money for the female version goes towards the creation of."
"That is a weird economy to run a portion of the soul society on," Tanya said as she reached for a cup of coffee.
"Maybe but that's how things work with these unions, but if you're so worried about your authority seeming to compromise you can bring a prop like a whip or something."
Tanya immediately put her coffee cup down and stared at Matsumoto with cold dead eyes. "Please never say that again."
"Okay okay but seriously what reason do you have to say no, you're worried about your authority being compromised captains and lieutenants take part in this all the time you're worried about being objectified everyone's objectified by this system-"
"Point of fact I don't care about the objectification I care about proper payment and the repercussions of being objectified."
"Which we've already clarified can be worked out I'm sure the SWA treasures willing to work with you,"
Tanya sat back in her seat and rubbed her forehead, appearing to have some sort of mental anguish going on.
"You raise valid points and I am willing to admit that, but I just do not see a reason to join the SWA pin-up calendar for this year. I'm making plenty of money with my own projects and I'm not interested in the possibility of losing what reputation I have built so far over pretty pictures."
Metamutu sighed she'd known that there was a possibility this would fail. Tanya was not exactly the freest spirit of the female soul reapers out there. However, she had not come here without a backup plan. "That's too bad, Visha is going to be so disappointed," Metamuto said, turning to leave.
'Come again?" came the voice of Tanya from behind her. Matsumoto fought hard to keep the smile down knowing she had a hook in now and it would not be a good situation to allow Tanya to slip free at the last moment.
Turning back she said, '"oh I forgot to mention, Visha has agreed to take part in the SWA calendar, I'd actually swung it so you two would be appearing in the same month."
Tanya sat there for a good few moments looking at first red then pale then red again before she coughed and said. "How long from now is this calendar shoot from today?"
"Oh, that would be this weekend I believe 24 hours from now."
"Of course, you'd wait for the last possible moment," Tanya said with a sign before she continued "I will consider it, you will have my answer by tomorrow."
"Perfect, see you tomorrow," Matsumoto said, taking a few steps back, and out of Tanya's office.
She walked away from Tanya's office slowly until she thought she was out of earshot and then she started running.
She had to go make sure Visha agreed to the photoshoot as well, shouldn't be that hard. She'd already got a tentative agreement out of Tanya, and as long as neither of them asked too many questions about who agreed first, everything should work out fine.
This calendar was going to pay for her next hundred years of SWA dues.
