[Kuukaku is bandaged up along her forearm, a shallow splash of acidic blood catching her a day ago. She's scraped, banged up, sweaty and exhausted - just like everyone else has been lately. Her fingers are a bit charred with all the kidou she's been flinging around, too.]

So, status report: Everyone still alive or what? I swear, if anyone is dead, I'll wring your fool necks.

So when these bastards have cleared out, sake at my place.

Still alive here. Getting tired of all the ugly. I've taken down about sixteen of these damn things--seventeen if you count the one that became two after I split it down the middle... How many have you gotten? Maybe we should start keeping a ledger.

Ah fuck, I didn't even think to keep count. Between making rescue runs into deeper Rukongai, its just been one ass-ugly face after another. Burn 'em with kidou or tear them apart with Hakyouku, I'm just worried about the people out here.

By the way, your men have been one hell of a blessing. We've got a few secure spots in the second and third that wouldn't be possible if not for them. Thanks for sending them out here.

And I swear, if Kensei doesn't sit the fuck down and rest, I'm gluing him to the damn walls of Seireitei myself.

No worries, I'm glad they've been a help to you guys. Wish I could have come lent a hand myself, but I'm sure you guys can handle the situation. I think we've finally taken care of most of the ugly in Seireitei, so once we round up the injured and make sure we've secured things here, I can try and head out to you if you still need the help.

And you have my permission to do just that.

Good to know.

Renji...Renji, Rukongai is completely demolished. Ruined. What are these people gonna do?

I don't doubt it. I haven't had a chance to really get a proper damage report yet, but if the state of Seireitei is anything to draw comparison from, we're gonna have our work cut out for us.

We'll figure something out. Set up some camps with some healers and spare what manpower we can to try and rebuild what's most crucial and most damaged... It won't be a quick fix, but I ain't just gonna let it get swept under the rug.

No offense, but Seireitei had a wall for a while to protect it. Still, this is... this is bad. I dont think I've ever seen something like this level of destruction. I dunno if my own house is still standing in this insanity.

None taken. But you're gonna have to bear with us. I'll help where I can, but fixing the damage in Seireitei has to come first. If the core falls, Rukongai doesn't stand a chance. Wall or no wall, we're in a bad way here, and while I'm sure the damage is nowhere near as bad as it is in Rukongai, we've got quite a mess on our hands, and a lot of casualties.

I'll keep you posted, and try and get out there ASAP. Hang in there, okay?

Re: [private]

Yeah, yeah. We'll be okay out here.

[A pause, long enough to have a "GETSUGA TENSHO" echo over the line.]

Oh hey, there goes another one...

[howls-at-stars.livejournal.com]

Oh good, he was gonna be my next question. You two take care of each other and I'll come check on you guys and the rest of the mess out there soon as I can.

Will do!
