Wh-What in the...the fuck..

[There's the sound of something crashing through the feed and Kuukaku yelling at someone to keep running. A quick chant and the resounding boom of kidou going off.]

...is going on here!? What in the unholy hell are these things?!

Don't quite know yet. You, ah... need a hand?

Rukongai needs a hand! These things are causing some pure hell out here.

Where are you? Are you okay?

South Fourty-Eighth and I'm

[KRA-KOW! Thats the sound of something exploding again.]

...fine!

I'm on my way.

Don't you have a division that you're responsible to?!

[Loooong pause, then finally a grunt]

...Yeah.

You stay safe until help comes, dammit. I know how you can kick my ass, but something really fucked up is goin' on.

Just be careful. Alright?

Re: Voice

[shiba-explosion.livejournal.com]

Safe? [A snort to go over the sound of rattling chains] What is this safe shit? I can take care of myself, the people around here can't, so like hell I'm gonna run and leave these people with nothing.

Just tell the Gotei to fuck the reports, fuck the reassignments and come out here and DO SOMETHING.

Hang in there, Kuukaku--I'm on it.

Re: [voice]

Bring. Company.

[voice]

[howls-at-stars.livejournal.com]

Actually, I'm hoping for you to bring company. As in yourself, Ganjuu, and the twins, to Seireitei, until we can get this under control. We can't send all our manpower out into Rukongai, that'd leave Seireitei wide open, and I have a feeling we haven't seen anywhere near the end of this yet. I can't make a move until I hear back from Ukiatke-soutaichou, but I'm pretty sure he'll allow it, so get packing.

Re: [voice]

[shiba-explosion.livejournal.com]

Honestly think you guys can protect Rukongai? All of it?

[Pause]

Did Kensei put you up to this?

[voice]

[howls-at-stars.livejournal.com]

No, I don't. So I'm gonna protect what I can, and don't you argue with me about it, either. We're gonna do what we can, but I ain't keen on taking no chances.

And Muguruma didn't say a word to me--can't a guy think to look after his own friends? Yeesh, whaddya take me for?

Re: [voice]

[shiba-explosion.livejournal.com]

Then you need as many able-bodied people out here as possible. I know these streets better than you and these people trust me. Ganju should be evacuating with the other Academy students and the Twins are more than capable of taking care of themselves.

Just get your asses out here!

[voice]

[howls-at-stars.livejournal.com]

You can't be--

Are you seriously--

What the hell are you--

...You're hopeless. Fine, soon as I get heads counted and patrols assigned, I'll see what I can do. But pack a bag anyway--just humor me, okay? If things get really bad, I'm bringing you back with us if I have to fuckin' drag you. I'm sure Muguruma will help.

Re: [voice]

[shiba-explosion.livejournal.com]

I'd love to see the two of you TRY.

[Hear that kidou go off? Just for you, Renji. Also the sound of chains rattling.]

So don't make me have all the fun tonight!
