[Kuukaku is having the half-yell into the mic, as the roar of voices around her is deafening, angry, and chaotic.]

Uhh, guys? We got a problem.

[There's the sound of something crashing nearby.]

Scratch that, we got a fucking riot on our hands! Where the fuck have you people been!?

[Over her voice, there's distinct chanting starting to form. "No water? No food! No warmth? No food! No homes? No food!"]

Wh...where the hell are these fuckers going...?

[Unohana sighs bitterly.]

I feared something like this might happen.

The Central 46, in their not-so-infinite wisdom, placed a priority order on the rebuilding of all of Seireitei. Unsurprisingly, that council cares nothing for the people of Rukongai. Time on duty is being spent on that order, leaving only those who choose to volunteer their free time as helpers.

Such foolishness from the Forty-Six. Or perhaps it is by design, to incite Rukongai's people . . .

That's nice, Unohana-taichou.

...Well, not really. But you understand how I couldn't give a rat's ass about Central 46.

I understand, but unfortunately, the Gotei as a whole does not have that luxury, much as we would like to. I am in no more agreement on the order than you are. But that does not mean that I can so casually defy it.

Re: [Same Filter, Voice]

[shiba-explosion.livejournal.com]

Yeah, yeah. Nobody challenges Central 46, I know. That shit's gotta change.

But that doesn't answer where these guys are going right now. They're going away from Seireitei.

[A pause as Unohana considers pointing out that matters are more complicated than that, and decides that arguing over them would be fruitless.]

Away from Seireitei? I wonder if they might be trying to gather more people . . .

I dunno, I'm gonna follow them and see whats up.

[theoriginal69.livejournal.com]

I know this will look like an idiotic question considering the circumstances, but you okay?

[shiba-explosion.livejournal.com]

Yes it does look like an idiotic question, seeing has how I'm moving, talking and not bleeding, but I'm fine.

[Cranky Kuukaku is cranky]

[theoriginal69.livejournal.com]

I can hear you talk. The other two I couldn't exactly confirm through a single voice message. Especially when the word 'riot' is involved.

I've tried to get out there. But we're all locked up in here with no word on when we're gettin' out again.

There's really nothing we can do. It's important you try to impress on everyone that as peacekeepers to Soul Society, we'll be forced to step in and arrest any troublemakers, regardless of whether or not the Shinigami are in the wrong or not. With Central 46's orders being what they are, there's really very little we can do.

Re: [same filter]

[shiba-explosion.livejournal.com]

Thats real nice, but these people are thirsty, freezing and don't even have a roof over their heads. And there's a lot of them out here and they've kinda got a reason to be pissed.

[same filter]

[zetsuboutaichou.livejournal.com]

I emphasize with their situation, but without the backing of the Central 46 we have no choice. I really am sorry.

What, exactly, is going on?

Re: [Filtered same]

[shiba-explosion.livejournal.com]

Besides angry shouting and throwing around things? They're moving to somewhere, where is anyone's guess.

[sado-chado.livejournal.com]

I'm coming to help.

[shiba-explosion.livejournal.com]

You keep your head down, kid. There's not much you can do here right now.

[howls-at-stars.livejournal.com]

Man, what the hell is wrong with these guys? Sure, I can understand their being pissed at what Central's saying, but they're just blindly going after any Shinigami now. I fucking got attacked trying to come out your way last night, and a lot of these guys know I've been trying to help. What the hell do they want from us if they're just gonna attack when someone actually tries to help?

Re: [filter]

[shiba-explosion.livejournal.com]

Are you serious? Shit, they're not listening to anyone anymore except whoever can yell loudest.

Dont come out into Rukongai alone - better spread the word.

[fighting-boy.livejournal.com]

I have to agree with Renji here. Going out in shinigami uniform is pretty much asking for a beating. We all know Central doesn't have their heads screwed on right, but somebody on the other side is a few spears short of a full armoury, too.
