Reclaimer walked down the cavernous halls of the unusually empty UCA, his laughter ringing out. Talking to himself once he knew he was out of Tenshis earshot. "Why of course Celestial, I was merely protecting you, Celestial, Yes I can do your do your dirty work celestial..." Reclaimer broke off his parody in a fit of laughter. Like he said. Royalty was all the same. Reclaimer stopped at the mammoth door that contained this "Yuuka." He entered and was immediately struck by the sent of nature. Yukka did enjoy her plants.

As soon as Reclaimer opened the door, he could feel it, the sensation that he was being watched. And indeed, the sea of sunflowers before him all seemed to be starring at him, sunflowers that towered above him. There was a clear path before him that led him straight to the mansion inside the room, but with so many eyes on him... it was as if the plants here had a life of their own, as if they had sentience...
or worse, something was watching him through them. If he could hear their language, the rustling of an artificial breeze through the room, he could have heard them talking to one another, on how odd this new arrival was, how bold he was to waltz on into such a dangerous place, but to the normal person, it was simply a massive garden, enjoying the artificial sun provided to them, and the cool breeze that was flowing, all while the massive mansion in the middle of the large room towered above all else, vines growing around the outside, and no lights seen coming from within... except for the top window...

Reclaimer looked up curiously, walking as he did. His eyes shifting across the spectrum yet again. He got the feeling that even touching the plants would bring adverse effects. The avid orange that coated the mansion indicated excitement and satisfaction. This was puzzling to him. He could understand the excitement of course. He could only assume that the excitement was due to the Orsa event. That he could understand. He felt the same way, but satisfaction? That was odd. This should be an interesting talk to say the least. He finished walking up to the mansion, and knocked on the door.

No sooner had the first knock landed, had the door swung open, but it was not of its own accord. A vine from within had reached out and opened the door for Reclaimer, revealing the insides of the great mansion. Nothing had changed from when Yuuka had held her party a while ago. The halls were remarkably clean, aside from a few vines snaking across the ceiling. Pots and vases holding rare species of plants lined up the sides of the hall, and doors between each of those plants were there as well, though they were all closed, and if Reclaimer had tried them, he would have seen they were locked. From behind one door, came the smell of chlorine and salt water, and behind another, the scent of fresh meat and blood. But at the far end of the hallway, was a table, and around it, two spiraling staircases leading up to the upper floors of the mansion. Above the table, was the same picture of a girl, yellow haired and brown dress, with a massive scythe over her shoulder...

Reclaimer did indeed try every door. After realizing the only way to go was up, as he ascended, he looked at the picture. "Charming. I assume she's the one who lives here."

"Actually, you would be wrong to assume that, but right had this place not been here." The voice of the owner reached him. Ebillulz turned to see the master of the Mansion, Yuuka Kazami, walk down from the right stairway. She was in her usual attire, but her normally short hair was quite long, reaching past the shoulders, and instead of a long plaid skirt, it was plaid pants she wore. The vest, white shirt, and the umbrella she had were still the same, though, as were the red eyes that narrowed ever so slightly as she eyed Reclaimer. What an odd thing, to come waltzing up into her mansion, without so much as an invitation or an asking. Either he had forgotten his polite etiquette, or there was more to him than he let on, something that seemed to fascinate the woman. "The woman there is Elly, my gatekeeper. She is not here at the moment, for I came here only with what I have and the garden. This mansion, and the picture here, are only a replica of what I actually have. The true mansion I have is still back at home, with my dear Elly overseeing it. Such a sweet girl..." Here, the plant master turned, her green hair swishing behind her as she examined Reclaimer more closely.
"Now may I ask, why you are here, and who are you, for barging in without welcome? You did knock, and I let you in, but a little forewarning is always welcome..."

Reclaimer gave Yukka a gracious smile. "I meant no offence. I simply needed to see you. For something has come to my attention, and it would not be fair to leave such a powerful being such as yourself ignorant to it. Especially as it might concern you. My pardons for not recognizing you immediately, but I am frightfully new here. You are Yukka I presume?" Reclaimers eyes returned to their normal shifting state as he stood before Yukka. "Even if you are not, I am forgetting my manners. You have a noble air about you." Reclaimer sunk into a one kneed bow. "My appologizes..."

"Why, yes I am, though from the sounds of it, it seems you're misspelling my name." Yuuka said, a slight smile on her face as she proceeded to correct Reclaimer. "It's pronounced You-ka, not Yah-ka. That's an entirely different kind of plant. I am not a Yucca plant, for starters." Here, she laughed, as if telling herself a funny joke. Reclaimer had been pronouncing her name wrong, and she felt it fit to correct him..."Now with that settled, what is it that you felt so urgent to tell me? If it is the Orsa conflict, then I already know." Now she was getting suspicious of this person. The scarecrow appearance was one thing... but why treat her as royalty out of the blue? Respect was one thing, but this... was a little too blatant, thought she made no indication of her distrust for this odd figure... Things were already going as she had hoped, and the last thing she wanted was some unseen element coming in at the last second to ruin it.

Reclaimer stood. "I apologize. No I am not here because of the situation with Orsa. As enjoyable as it would be to talk about that." As he was speaking, his eyes once again shifted to the color of lead. He was right. Excitement and Satisfaction positively oozed from Yuuka. As did a sense of light suspicion and distrust. "Does the name Tenshi mean anything to you Yuuka?"

A chuckle escaped the plant woman's mouth as she leaned back. " Why of course I know of her. Who here doesn't know of her overinflated ego and bratty nature? She asked, shaking her head, like doing her best to remove a headache that had been plaguing her. "She is, to put it bluntly, someone I can barely tolerate, let alone the rest of the UCA here, always boasting on how much better she is than anyone else, and how her family is supposed to be oh so powerful, and how we are all dirt-sniffers and maggots. It was funny at first, but now, you could say the only enjoyment I get out of her is throwing her into a wall. I had hoped a certain fight here would have humbled her, but alas, she's still a stuckup brat that refuses to know better. But now I must ask... why do you bring her name up? Did she, by chance, ask something of you?" The fact that Reclaimer's eyes seemed to flash every so often was raising alarm bells in the plant woman's head. what was the purpose of that? Rarely was such a thing just for show... it had a purpose, but what it was, eluded her at the moment...

"That she did. After our initial encounter, she asked me to do something I just could not condone. She asked me to spy on you. Naturally I was curious to why, which is why I sought you out. To see if it was even worth doing." Reclaimer paused, and smiled. "I thought about it to be sure, but after she threatened to crush me. I did not feel like doing her any favors."

Yuuka laughed at what Reclaimer said, her eyes flashing on their own as she walked over to the main table, inviting Reclaimer to take a seat. "So I see. That does sound like something she'd ask. She's afraid of me, and I like it that she's going to such measures to make sure I'm not breathing down her neck. Unfortunately, she only gave me a good reason to do just that, and more..." Here, she took a seat for herself, and folded her arms as a vine extended down and laid down cups before them, as well as two containers, one with iced tea, the other with lemonade. "So tell me, Reclaimer, what purpose do you have here at the UCA as a whole? You seem a very odd figure for them to just bring here."

Reclaimer took the seat that was offered to him. "The UCA attracted the interest of an organization known as 3b1l. Which I belong to. They sent me to get a feel of the conduct here. I must say, since I have arrived, things have gotten very interesting. Especially with the introduction of Orsa. I am hopeful for the future of this place. Especially if things progress at the way they have been before. If I may ask, how did you end up here?" Reclaimer sat back in the chair and bridged his fingers. Looking at Yuuka with curiosity.

Yuuka poured herself a glass of lemonade and took a sip from it. It was always refreshing, having a cold icy glass of lemonade. "That is very interesting. I must keep that in mind. And there's no need to worry for this place. I'm sure the heroes fighting Orsa will save the day and all that good stuff." here, she took another sip. "Have some lemonade, or some tea. Your the reason I had them brought out. As for why I'm here... well, an old acquaintance of mine wanted me to ovesee how her daughter was doing here. She feared there was a certain creep tormenting her, so she had me come here to prevent any such molestation or defilement from happening. Though, that aside, I became quite entertained by this place, so I volunteered myself as a fighter, though my track record here isn't the longest or the most impressive by a longshot." For the most part, what she was saying was somewhat true. But of course, there were certain key details she was leaving out, but those were for her to know, and not Reclaimer...

Reclaimer flashed another smile. "I feel no fear, I just said it was exciting." Reclaimer reached for the proffered jug and glass. "Well, compared to me, you have a long and lustrous history here." Reclaimer took a sip of the lemonade. "This is well made. You have my compliments." Reclaimer looked over at Yuuka again. "Is the Orsa situation the only major... Deviation from standard procedure here?"
