...

Holy shit, they're burning food.

I'm not kidding folks, a caravan just got ambushed about to wheel into the First District. I tried to intervene, but they burned the whole damn thing. They're not letting ANYTHING get into Seireitei. They're slaughtering livestock and burning the corpses.

You people have leftovers, right?

We have stockpiled emergency reserves, but those won't last forever. I can understand why these people are angry, but for them to destroy the food to spite us instead of taking it for themselves...

Shiba-san, I know they're probably beyond listening to you at this point, but they're more likely to listen to you than anyone the Gotei could send. They have to stop, or the repercussions could be severe. The Central 46 obviously has Seireitei as its priority, and if they view these rioters as a threat, the results could be dire. I will come in person to help, but I don't know how much help I'll be able to provide.

I've been talking with some of them, I've been trying, but all they're saying or hearing is how the shinigami are too busy cleaning up their house when Rukongai suffered a lot more.

Fuck, there are little kids here that are crying because they're thirsty. No amount of words are gonna drown that out.

Are they fucking retarded? What are they gonna eat? If things get thin here, we can always go get some stuff from the living world, but... Crimony, this isn't the way to make a point.

Not a lot of them need to eat, Renji. Thats the point, they have stuff you guys need. You won't help them, they wont help you.

Its stupid as fuck, but these people aren't thinking straight.

I warned you that criminal behaviour won't be tolerated, and while I know there's very little you can do, the fact remains that we won't be permitted to stay in the back seat for this. The Third Division's responsibility is to intervene and hold troublemakers that threaten the Seireitei, and it will inevitably fall to us.

I can only wonder why they waste their time causing trouble for us than helping themselves. We cannot be relied on to pour on the aid if people are not willing to pull their own weight too. I know things are hard, but we are only so many.

Yeah, I fucking know. You gotta come play "peacemaker" by force.

But if you're wondering why they're getting all pissy, try building a house with no tools?

It really is no use losing your temper with me. This is the Third Division's responsibility, no matter how I might feel about it.

Oh, trust me, you'll know when I've lost my temper. But it also wouldn't kill you to show a damn bit of sympathy either.

I sympathise - of course I do - but this is a fight that we have put our every waking moment into. We fought out there, and we lost good Shinigami protecting these people, but this is the way we're repaid.

Holy fuck, are you serious?

... Wait, yeah, I can see you are. Something's definitely on fire outside the wall. Maybe they are shooting themselves in the foot, but a lot of them can survive on a lot less food than a shinigami, right? Since you only gotta eat if you actually use your spiritual energy. (Now would be a good time to tell me I got this wrong, guys.)

They're not even listening to you anymore, are they?

Most average plus souls don't need to consume food to survive. However, not every soul with spiritual ability chooses to become a Shinigami. Some aren't powerful enough and don't pass the Academy's entrance exams. There are definitely enough people out there to make the need for food an issue.

They stopped listening a long time ago.

This won't go over well.

You've got a good grip on the art of the understatement.

Thank you.

I somehow doubt any sudden charity from this side will be welcomed warmly, either.

Re: [Same Filter]

You might be able to get some stuff to the people who really need it if you can catch a time when the angry mobs are stomping around angrily somewhere else.

Words or not, there are plenty of people with kids and sick people that will take help from Aizen at this point.

Maybe that's the point.
