These halls are too confusing. [Open to everyone!]

Full House! Mine again~!

The three Numeros looked on in maddened disbelief as Nina set down the cards, scooping up the scattered piles of assorted chips for what felt like the millionth time that night. A smugly content smile crossed the Septima Espada's face as she quickly stacked her winnings with a practiced ease, not a hint of fatigue hinting at her satisfied features despite the sheer time of the night. The Numeros on the other hand, were a completely different story.

"How'd you manage to do that again Nina-San? How on earth'd you catch my bluff? You're not cheating, are you...?"

one cried in an exhausted slur, his tone making it quite clear that he would rather be in bed. Or playing Poker with somebody else. Nina didn't answer right away, instead far more focused on precisely arranging her myriad of chips on top of each other. It took yet another impatient sigh from the almost bankrupt servant for the girl to even look up and register what he was uttering.

Huh?

Nina exclaimed with a slight touch of airhead-ish cluelessness, her grinning head rising above the six or seven chip towers,

No, of course I didn't. Just takes a bit of common sense up here

She tapped her head a few times with her fingers, appearing utterly nonplussed by his accusations,

...No cheating from me! I just won with the cards that you yourself dealt me, Raúl. Now c'mo-

"Ngh, I'm tired. No more games, please, Nina-San...?" complained the next of the servants, "It's not like we can win against you anyway. Plea-"

No! Again! Again! I reckon I'll be able to make a thousand off ya guys tonight, lets not stop here. I'm so close~

Wide smile still stapled to face, Nina picked up the cards lying on the table in front of her, dropping in front of the third of the Numeros,

...If I'm lucky, I think I'll be able to win in three more rounds. So hurry up, deal!

With a final sigh of defeat, the man hastily gathered the discarded cards, forming them into a deck and began shuffling them before the weary eyes of his fellow servants - and the overtly eager features of Nina's visage. Three - heavily diluted with impatient foot tapping - minutes later, Sarén had finally laid the required two cards before each of the four players. Without wasting a single moment, Nina lifted her own up, examining their patterns and almost immediately fighting the tempting urge to abolish her perfect poker face, and give off yet another boastful tirade. Ace of Hearts, King of Hearts. One of the best possible initial hands in Poker. Material for all three Straight Flush, Flush and Straight. Best High Card to boot.

Unfortunately though, Nina was not given even a moment to indulge in her luck, let alone to think up some bluff to toy with the others. For at that precise moment, the seldom heard wavelengths summoning all Espada to a specific room sounded through the walls of the palace, reverberating off walls for what felt like the first time in years. As the sounds met and airborne motions met with the four gamblers, it was now Nina's turn to sigh whilst the others found their faces rising with the new found euphoria known as escape. Without speaking, the girl set her cards face down on the table, rising slowly from her seat. As she found her stance, she looked up at the others who were all too obviously filled with an immense glee and impatience for Nina to vacate the room as soon as possible.

Though unfortunately for them, she had other plans.

Alright looks like it's meeting time. You guys stay here until I get back, alright? Then we'll continue

She spoke energetically, the laughter returning to her fair face,

...And don't look at my cards. I'll know if you do

As she said it, Nina's right hand fingered the unreleased zanpakuto lying around her neck. The moment's relief vanished from the faces of the Numeros as suddenly as it had come. Nina widened her smile as she turned on her heels with a swish and made for the door of the office, waving at her playmates behind her.

Good, I'll be seeing ya later~

--

Despite her slight disdain at being called away from her gambling antics, Nina moved through the halls of Las Noches in a flourish. As always, she was incredibly eager to get to the meeting and see what diplomacy had in store for her today. Every meeting held new possibilities, new chances - different groups attended each one, and each time, different things were discussed. Nina, quite the socialite, enjoyed meeting new people and delighted in the quirks that arose from the conflicting myriad of personalities that around the elongated table for the duration of the meeting. There truly was nothing certain about the Meeting Hall of Las Noches. Just the way Nina liked it. However seeing as she was new being a Espada she still didn't quite understand where all the rooms were so she was having a lot of trouble. Either there was a dead end right around the corner she was gonna go or that she went through a door and slightly looked into the room and she saw that there was nothing within the room or there were other Arrancar there doing whatever they were doing. One of the rooms contained a group of Arrancars playing what seemed to be like strip poker, She actually wanted to join, but she was having a meeting and all and she couldn't be distracted from that so she ignored the poker game going on there. Minutes have passed and she was still going through the halls of Las Noches she had no clue where she was. Hours had passed as well and no doubt that the Espada meeting was finished and she was the only one that didn't came. She was becoming more and more lost.

Nina saw that there was another person, finally a person that she can ask questions regarding to where she was. She was stuck here for hours and finally a person came, the person in front of her she thought she was beautiful with her hair and her pink eyes. Nina couldn't help but to smile, she was awfully lucky. This beautiful person in front of her asked a question and as such she responded with smile. But it looked like she wanted to say some more so Nina waited until she had finished talking.

I'm Nina Hazard, the new Septima Espada. I got lost trying to find where the meeting was held but as I went by through the Halls of Las Noches I got even more lost and here I am.

Nina replied to her questions, after she was sure that the person finished talking.

Nina imagined how the male Espadas were trying to out do one another for god knows what reason and it did seem quite annoying especially if it went on for quite a while. Nina was relieved that nothing major was going on in the meeting, she missed the meeting so she'd thought her status as a Espada would be revoked or something due to the not going to a important meeting, but it seemed like nothing would happen so she gave a quick sigh of relief. Aries Senka, Third Espada was talking with her, she expected that all of the Espada's would be mean but so far she knew that one of them were a nice person. Nina realized that Aries gave her a bow and that she didn't bow in return so she bowed as quickly as she realized it. Aries giggled and Nina thought she made a rather cute giggle. Nina then remembered her situation, she was lost so she asked Aries if she knew where they were.

Aries do you know where I am? I've been here for a few hours and I kinda wanna know where all these halls lead to so I was wondering if you could escort me? Show me around the place?

Nina tried to laugh it out as she mentioned that she had no clue where she was in Las Noches. Her stomach made a noise indicating she was hungry, after all that worrying about the meeting, then meeting Aries she completely forgot about her hunger. This of course embarrassed Nina, right after she tried to laugh it out the fact that she's completely lost but now that she's hungry too. It seems she can't take care of herself.

Nina followed Aries letting her guide the way, Nina wasn't ever that good at directions she would usually get lost and never find the way she was supposed to go that quickly until a while had passed. Especially in Las Noches, this place was huge and she would be lost for quite a while. Thankfully she met the 3rd Espada Aries, she was humming a tune while smiling simply because she was overjoyed. Not gonna get lost this time~! She thought while her eyes were closed. Due to the fact that her eyes were closed her head had slammed into a wall and then Nina fell unto the floor while scratching her head with her left hand gently due to the pain that was inflicted. Some Arrancar came out of their rooms nearby and were yelling at Nina but they retreated back to their rooms or wherever they were and left Nina alone.

Sorry about that Aries

OOC: Tune is the theme song

Yea, I'm alright. My hierro protected me so I didn't get hurt.

Nina showed a smile while tapping her head with her right hand giving sign that she didn't get hurt at all. But she was still at fault for walking through the halls with her eyes closed, she was just overjoyed that someone found her. She wasn't much of a fan of getting lost in a ridiculously huge place that seems to never end by length. She liked Aries even if she had only met her today. She was a nice person, well at least to her.

So where are we going Aries-chin?

Nina wondered where they might go, hopefully it'll be somewhere with food as she was getting hungry after all the time she was stuck within these halls.
