Who. Who is the fucking moron who spread these fliers around Rukongai? WHO!? Cause you've just made a bad situation a lot fucking worse, thanks so damn much asshole.

Do you realize that most of these people can't read in the first place? This stuff is being used for toilet paper more than its being read. And the people who have had them read to them are now flipping their shit because you had to go mention that there was going to be another attack. Good fucking job, whoever the fuck you are. As if I didn't have enough to do keeping some people calm around here, one of you brilliant fucks had to make it worse.

These people don't give a damn about Aizen, they don't care who he is. They barely know him.

Allow me to repeat myself in case it didn't get through before.

Rukongai doesn't care about Aizen.

Godamnit, this whiny piece of shit is the last thing I fucking needed.

[Rukia]

I'm getting some of the water out to the camps now. I'm not gonna distribute tools or anything until shit calms down a bit more.

Thanks, these people needed this.

[Kensei]

How you holding up in there?

[Ichigo]

Take your girl and make sure she gets some sleep tonight, damnit. She looks almost as bad as I do.

[Kisuke]

Huh, didn't expect the blinky text to be that simple. Go figure.

[Private to Self]

...I need a drink.

Going stir-fucking-crazy.

Insanity abounds. I'm probably going to sleep for a week after this.

[theoriginal69.livejournal.com]

I bet. Feels like it's been non-stop, no rest since before the new year.

I haven't been back to my house since this mess started. The Twins are keeping the fort down, but I've been sleeping in the camps here.

You should at least go and check in. Get some sleep there or here where you don't have to worry about being caught in the crossfire.

I know you want to stay and try to keep people's heads cool, but being as exhausted as they are won't help matters any.

I wish I could help.

Re: [Private]

[shiba-explosion.livejournal.com]

I can't. I'm all thats keeping these people that dont want to cause shit from being bullied into it by the ones that do.

[the-rotator.livejournal.com]

I'm quite sure many of them do read. Unfortunately, that doesn't help matters. This isn't the way to do things.

[Private]

Good. Please let me know if there's anything at all you still need, and I'll do my best to get it.

[shiba-explosion.livejournal.com]

Will do.

Oh yes, the Bananaphones are fully blinky-text compatible.

Scrolling text is also supported by the Bananaphone.

All levity aside, if there's something I can do to lessen your burden, do let me know. Crowd control isn't really my forte, and there isn't much science to quieting a riot, so I'm not sure how much help I can be to the overall situation, but if there's something I can do for you, don't hesitate to ask.

Water purification would be wonderful. A lot of the available sources are tainted because those...things fell in and made the damn water undrinkable. Heat sources, blankets, maybe tents? I dont know, we've got nothing but lean-tos out here right now.

[Private]

[shady-shopkeep.livejournal.com]

Oho, water purification I can surely do. Those aren't hard to whip up, so I can put a handful together and probably get them to you by evening. I don't know that I have the supplies for much in the way of shelter, but I've made a few improvements on those delightful little kidou-heaters you cooked up.

Since I don't answer to Central, I don't think they'll mind if I focus my efforts on Rukongai rather than Seireitei. They seem to have enough help there for the moment, wouldn't you say?

Re: [Private]

[shiba-explosion.livejournal.com]

Thank god someone around here doesn't have to bow and scrape to those assholes. I heard they have the shinigami repainting the noble's houses and repairing their damaged property even as they're fixing the wall. What a fucking abuse of power. Goddamn.

Ive pretty much come to the conclusion that some of these people arent going to be pleased with any sort of help thats going to be given, but there's a lot that will take what they can get. You know how it is out here. Like it or not, the shinigami are gonna have to suppress these nutjobs. I just hope they do it smartly, or this problem will come and bite them straight in the ass.

Why am I unsurprised that you have been fiddling with my inventions?

[Private]

[shady-shopkeep.livejournal.com]

Were I the sympathetic type I'd feel bad for the rest of the Gotei, but that's really not my style. Besides, I'm sure they'll figure some way to get something done--the ones worth anything, anyway. There are a good number of folks I can think of off the top of my head who would sooner paint obscenities on those nobles' gates than leave Rukongai to rot while they wasted their time whitewashing.

I do know how it is; it's rough country on the best of days. I can't imagine what you must be going through. I'll be along in a while, after I get a few of these purification engines up and running. I'm told the blood of these monsters is actually corrosive?

Only trying to improve on an already-good thing, my dear.

Re: [Private]

[shiba-explosion.livejournal.com]

Yeah, there's a lot of people that want to come help Rukongai, but Central's got 'em locked up in the walls like a damn prison. Seems like history's repeating itself, eh?

Yeah, the blood can pit steel, burn right through flesh.

I'd better see some royalties if you start selling them.

[god-of-games.livejournal.com]

You made it blink! How'd you manage that one?

[Private]
I can't imagine anyone I know would be stupid enough to send that out. If they're out there "flipping their shit," maybe that pamphlet doing exactly what it was designed to do.

[shiba-explosion.livejournal.com]

Ask Urahara.

[Private]

I'm starting to think this might be the case. It doesn't seem to be the same writing style as the ones before (not that those weren't stupid either), but there's a lot of subtle poison here.

Got any suspicions?

[Private]

[god-of-games.livejournal.com]

It's a bit different than the former pamphlets, yeah.

The same suspicions any always has, these days.
