Eunice was slowly walking around the urban city and happened to come across an interestingly looking diner. She had never been inside of a diner. She was only accustomed to eating at fast food places and occasionally in fine dining sit-in restaurants when her grandfather was around still. She now walked even closer to the diner with her near torn snickers. She needed to probably steal another pair of common urban snickers or running shoes.
She looked down and ignored the battered up snicks she had on and continued to move toward the diner. She walked up and roughly pushed the front doors open as it hit the limit. It made a loud bang and a noisy entrance for her. She saw that there were quite a lot of people sitting in booths, tables, and the counter. She looked at the three people sitting together as the hyperactive boy with the malt attracted many eyes.
Eunice wiggled her wrist as the odd bracelets around jingled. The bracelet was the last thing she remembered her grandfather of who was a Quincy. She didn't know much, she only thought of those story as spooky kid stories old farts would tell. She gracefully walked towards the three to search for a table.

"When you deal with a man, deal with his most valuable possession, his life. There's play and there's the deep flow. I like to take things to the deep flow of play, because everything is a game, serious and nonserious at the same time. So play life like it's a game..."
-Huey P. Newton
Yomiko leaned back in the booth, with her hand on her stomach as if to prevent it from grumbling more. Her golden orbs looked over weakly at the other waitresses, who seemed to be busy with other customers. The woman cursed to herself, not wanting to wait any longer than she needed to. Yomiko knew she wouldn't have to wait like this if she were at the Jade Flower. With the slight thought of her restaurant in the Soul Society, it made her heart drop. Just the thought of not being able to see that restaurant that she built from the ground up made her lose her appetite.
Trying to turn her attention away from those depressing thoughts, Yomiko's eyes looked around the diner, just to see what type of characters lurked in this type of place. All of them were ordinary humans, completely oblivious to what they were. Her eyes widened in surprise when she spotted a very familiar face. Yomiko repressed the smile she wanted to display on her face when another crowd of people came inside of the establishment. She adjusted herself in her seat with a small sigh when a waitress finally came to take her order. She had no idea where her partner-in-crime was. Maybe he was in the bathroom?
He might've been away, but Yomiko took the liberty to order for him. She was pretty sure she ordered the right thing for him. A bacon cheeseburger. She was so sure that he was going to like it. Yomiko rolled her eyes in slight annoyance, scolding herself for fretting about her bestfriends' taste. She didn't feel as though it was a big deal. Well, maybe it was? Pursing her lips in annoyance, she watched the waitress walk away from their booth.
They said I couldn't play football I was too small.
They say I couldn't play basketball I wasn't tall.
They say I could'n't play baseball at all.
And now everyday of my life I ball.

 Fuyu sat down in the booth opposite Yomiko. "Did the waitress already stop by?" As he said this his stomach growled quite loudly. "Damn, guess I'm hungrier than I thought." He sighed and slouched in the seat a little bit. He was thinking of his squad and wondering who would take over, wondering if they would be worthy of carrying on the squad he had governed for so long. But as he thought of this another thought that made him chuckle crossed his mind. What if the replacement was horrible and they regretted picking them for the spot. It was a notable thought, but highly unlikely so he shrugged it off. Another loud grumble from his stomach made him come back to reality and forget about his old squad.

Tetra snapped out of her less then happy mood the moment the food came out. A chocolate malt made for a good day, no matter how the rest of her day had been. She took a sip then turned her attention to the meatball sandwich that sat in front of her so invitingly. The first time she had had one of these she had made a complete mess of it. She knew how to not fail so hard at eating one, but it still took doing. And napkins. She carefully picked it up and took a bite, savoring the flavor, while still listening to Andrew and Yosuke.

Yomiko's concentration broke away from the waitress, going to Fuyu. Her expression towards him was a peeved one. What kind of question was that anyway. Yomiko rolled her eyes as she placed her arms on the table. She huffed a frustrated sigh before she replied to Fuyu.
"Yes. She did. I already ordered for you...," She trailed off with a shrug. "I don't know if you'd like what I ordered for you, though. I don't know your tastes with this kind of food."

Eunice grabbed her empty stomach and then sank her shaking hands into her roughed up jean pockets. No luck. She was out of money; she was out of the money that she stole, looted, or pick-pocketed from people on the streets. Her only option: begging. She sighed and walked to the bathroom, passing the three in the booth gorging on their chocolate malts and meat sandwiches. It all sounded so good to her. She was envious of the young boy, who looked about her age.
She locked the bathroom door and dirtied herself up by smudging her dark palms over across her face and under her cheeks. She ruffled her messy hair to even look messier than usual. Eunice never enjoyed begging. Sometimes she would get more than the crumbs people usually gave her. There were generous people and greedy or evil-hearted people who would not share or suck every possession out of her before aiding her.
Eunice opened the door and silently went up to the purple-haired woman. She looked generous and kind of heart. She seemed to be talking with another man opposite from her. Eunice waited for her chance until he was done speaking. She kneeled and went next to her, tugging on her leg.
"Please... Can you spare me some money? I have no money, no place to stay, and no family... Please... I'm starving..." Eunice looked up at the woman's golden eyes as she saw her reflection with her dirty dark brown eyes. The woman looked so beautiful and stunning! She felt good around her.

Yosuke grabbed his malt and started the proccess of drinking it, oh yes... drinking it. He waited aslong as he could without getting a brain freeze and released the malt from his grasp onto the table, looking at his meal, then Andrew. "Ah, the apartment is nice, it's much better than the one I lived in seven years ago before I moved in to the Temple for a while, and possibly better than my College dorm... the only problem with it is me." He let out a weak laugh, "The furniture is all in order, but me and my work can't seem to get along, my documents are spread out quite a bit... theres just that one area near my desk that you can really get lost in."

Andrew noticed the girl as she passed their table. Aside from the familiar spirit pressure he felt entering the place, he felt another one. Not one he noticed, but one similar to the three at their table. As the girl passed, he was reassured that she was in fact a Quincy. The only he was sure was that she seemed to have a greater pressure than most humans. He would try and get her attention on the way back.
But the girl didn't pass their table. Instead she went over to the table with the person Andrew had felt before. "Excuse me," he said to Yosuke and Tetra as he got up and went over to the table. "There you are sister," Andrew began, putting a hand on the girl's shoulder. "We're over there. I'm sorry," he said towards the two at the table, giving a wink of reassurance at Yomiko. "She likes to play games with people sometimes. Lets' go and order you a malt." He pulled slightly on the girl's shoulders to get her to follow him to the table. This would be her, and his, lucky day.

Yomiko, with another heavy sigh, placed her head on her forearms as she waited for their food to come. There was nothing to do but to sit and wait, she guessed. The woman was in no mood to talk now as her depressing thoughts drifted back to the Soul Society. Yomiko wondered what was everyone doing now that she was gone. Hopefully, for her sake and Fuyu's, they did not send someone after them. Knowing it would be a hurtful blow to the Gotei 13 to lose so many Captains. Before they left, the 8th Captain had vanished. Who knew where she was. Maybe they were in shambles, who knew.
A tug to her pant-leg shook her out of her thoughts. Yomiko looked down, and blinked at the young girl that was presented before her. A small sympathetic frown appeared on Yomiko's face, as well as her eyes. She looked like she didn't have anything. Just like she... Before she could speak up, she noticed Andrew's voice. Looking up, she had caught on to his wink. She smiled weakly.
"Alright."
They said I couldn't play football I was too small.
They say I couldn't play basketball I wasn't tall.
They say I could'n't play baseball at all.

As Eunice was about to get a good dose of food, she hoped for even better. Money to buy food that she want! That was interrupted of course by a strange man. She looked back as the woman she begged to made direct eye contact with the man who intentionally grabbed her on the shoulders.
She felt a cold surge sizzle through her body and shook lightly. She turned back to look at the man's face, only to be called 'sister'. Sister? What... Who is this man!? Eunice said through her thoughts as she took him as a 'Creeper'.
"She likes to play games with people sometimes. Lets' go and order you a malt.", said the man behind Eunice. Who was this man to call her like she's known him for years? She reacted with a frightened, yet agitated look on her face. "Please... I didn't do anything wrong! P-Please leave me alone... I just wanted some food to eat... I haven't eaten in the last two days...", she complained. Eunice tightened her grip on the beautiful woman's pant-leg.

"Now, now, don't bother the woman more than she needs to be." Apparently this girl would be a little harder to persuade than Andrew originally thought. The next move he would make would totally depend on whether she had been trained at all, which he was believing to be about a 68% chance that she had been. So he stepped back and flicked out his right hand for her to take it, his Quincy cross falling into his palm for her to easily see. "We'll get you something to eat, don't worry. You're among family now." He tried to reassure her as much as he could without scaring her anymore. If she had seen a Quincy cross before, then should would know that Andrew's was one as well.

This man who stood behind her didn't give up just yet. He even encouraged the young beautiful woman to not pay any attention to the poor hopeless beggar at her feet. Eunice sighed, but wasn't about to give up to his strange man yet. He could be a mass murderer for all she knew!
Before she could take any action, the man stepped back and offered her an arm this time. He treated her like she was some sort of queen or high-status person. She had never been treated like that, not even her old grandfather, who was a stern man to start with. She eyed the universal symbol of the cross and thought at first that he was a priest or pastor. He also said something about 'family', which she never had since a long decade ago. She kept eying the cross that hung lazily down from his wrist. Eunice thought that it reminded her of her long gone grandfather.
She took his hand and rose up. She was just a couple inches shorter than the tall man. Eunice blushed as she examined his face fully, now that she was near eye level with the man. She saw how gorgeous his facial features were. The glasses only expanded the beauty.
She grabbed her stomach once more as it roared out a weak bellow. "Uhm, my name is Eun He- I mean Eunice... Just call me Eunice....", she told the man and then followed his lead. She shied behind the man as they both approached the table with the two others.

Fuyu smiled at Andrew as he attempted to draw the girl away from Yomi and to their table. Fuyu knew full well who the other man was, but had never been in the same room as him before so it was unlikely that Andrew knew the same of Fuyu, but that didn't matter much. Fuyu was going to be on earth for a long time now. So plenty of time to get acquainted with the Quincy. A sigh escaped him as his thoughts drifted back to the food. The service here seemed to be a little slower than what he was used to. But if he wanted to eat right now he would just have to bite his tongue and wait for the food to come.

Yomiko didn't say a thing as all of the events played out in front of her. They might have puzzled her a bit. Out of all people, why did this girl decide to cling onto her? The thoughts she was getting from this situation was making her uneasy, and it shown on her face. Yomiko was glad when Andrew led the girl away from them. Just as they were walking away, the waitress came and presented their burgers to him. Yomiko pursed her lip.
"What the hell just happened?"
They said I couldn't play football I was too small.
They say I couldn't play basketball I wasn't tall.

"Eunice, then let me welcome you to your new family." Andrew lead her over to the table and motioned for her to sit next to himself, across from Yosuke. A waitress had noticed all this and went and brought a glass of water for Eunice and to take her order. When she finished, the waitress would leave and Andrew would begin the introductions.
"First and foremost, I am Andrew Heath, Bejhart of the Quincy in this area," Andrew started off simply. "Sorry for the confusion earlier, I just didn't want to confuse the people at that table. This is Yosuke and Tetra," he pointed to each, "And they are my top students." Andrew pulled his left wrist out again to show the Quincy cross, motioning for the other two to do as well. "You don't have to worry, you are among friends here."
