Garganta In My Basement

[Zephyros]

Joe, with his newfound confidence, strolled down the sidewalk with a relaxed aura about him. He wasn't afraid anymore. He didn't have a reason to be. A Shinigami seemed like it was on his side so he didn't have to worry about the Hollows, and Arrancar seemed like nice enough people even though they look like demons. He shrugged, and kept going.

After walking a long distance from the construction site, Joe found himself in front of a nice-sized apartment building painted a reddish brown for reasons that baffled him every time he viewed this. "Well, we're here." He says to the Shinigami as he makes his way to the front door with his keys in hand. "My Land Lady's probably out shopping and everyone else is usually gone in the mornings so it'll just be us. You don't have to worry about hiding, then again, nobody would be able to see you anyway..." He sighs and unlocks the door, then slowly pushes it open and steps into the building.

Ryu followed Joe in relative silence. He was more interested in how Matsuri was fairing against that Arrancar. He wasn't sure if she was strong enough to take him on by herself. If they had fought him together then they would have been able to win. Once they reach Joe's apartment the human begins to speak. Ryu chuckles a bit.

"I wonder if anyone walking by with wonder why you are talking to yourself" Ryu says, clearly amused by his own joke. The apartment was in pretty good condition. Ryu continues to follow the man into his apartment. Cracking his neck lightly Ryu takes in his new surroundings.

"So, where exactly are the Hollows emerging from?" Ryu asks Joe, getting right to the point. He needed to get this over with, and quick. Getting back and helping Matsuri was the only thing on his mind at the time.

"I wonder if anyone walking by with wonder why you are talking to yourself"

Joe snickers at the joke as he enters the hallway and starts straight for the back. "It's not like I haven't done this before. I sorta have a reputation around here for 'talking to myself.'" He snickers and keeps walking until he reaches a green door to the left of the hallway.

"So, where exactly are the Hollows emerging from?"

Joe opens the door, revealing the dark stairway leading down into the basement of the apartment building. "Right down here, actually. Nobody really uses the basement but me and my roommate so there was no point in telling anyone." He walks down the metal stairway keeping his grip on the railing.

There was a faint bit of Arrancar Reiatsu in the air, but Joe's spiritual awareness was not strong enough to sense it. "Sorry about the lights, I was meaning to change the bulb before we left for work but I kinda spaced." The interior of the basement was an empty room with a few tables set up and random pieces of scrap metal thrown about, kind of like an ammature workshop.

"Ah dammit! Another one must have came out." Joe was referencing to the large chrome clothing dryer that was lying on its side on the center of the room and an open trap door that seemed to lead deeper beneath the property. "I'm gonna have to wait for Ruban to fix this... but that's where the Hollows are coming from: right under there."
