Both groups hurry their way across town; the Shinigami toward their contact, the Quincy and the rogue Shinigami, towards the park... and a Hollow.<br/><br/>As they enter the park, it's mostly deserted; a picnic area lies to their left, and a forested walking route, to their right. A few people are eating, enjoying the nice day, not really noticing the bizarre looking Quincy, running in. The malign energy seems to be coming from the forest... and a woman's scream, moments later, that no one else reacts to, only supports that theory.<br/><br/>The Hollow's power is growing... it's making less of an effort to hide itself. It's hunting, now, and its prey has seen it.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, the Shinigami reach their destination; a small door, in an alleyway, leading down into what is, presumably, a basement. Or would appear to be, anyway, from the outside. The door in unlocked, leading to a nice set of stairs, leading deep underground.<br/><br/>The main room of the shop is set up like a small general store; shelves of common items lie about, marked with prices. A little bell jingles, as they push open the last door at the bottom of the stairs. No one is in the room, at the moment... though, a few seconds later, a woman enters from the back room. Short, skinny, well-endowed, she wears a hat, low on her head, covering her eyes and ears, as well as loose, baggy, brightly colored clothing. "Hello, and welcome to Soruchi's Emporium, how may I... ah! You are the Shinigami I was told to expect, are you not?" She smiles, wickedly, then tosses off her hat, revealing pointed ears and yellow eyes, her furry tail slipping free of its confines, the feline features completely apparent, now. "Good, I can get rid of this disguise."
