Ganju.

You're coming home this weekend. We have the Summer fireworks to make and ship out and there's no way in hell I'm leaving the Chucklehead Duo to do anything more than load the orders up. There's also a huge order from the Kasumi-Oouji in this too. Bring your homework, I'll be quizzing you.

Is this thing even working right...? Bad enough that I have to use my prosthetic just to write out this mess, what the hell happened to hellmoths?

There, I'm using this damn device that you shoved down my throat. Happy now?

This weekend, eh? I almost forgot! Will do, big sis!

Yeah, s'workin' just fine. Hey, uh...I got somethin' to tell ya, too. Prob'ly best t'wait 'til I get there, though.

[shiba-explosion.livejournal.com]

Good. Bring your zanpakutou, we'll be going over everything - zanjutsu, hakuda, kido, hoho.

News, eh? What, Bonnie-chan havin' piglets again?

You're taking care of them if she is

[ganju_shiba]

Yeah, will do. M'ready. I'm gonna get my ass kicked.

No...? Not that I know of. Ah...actually I might be bringin' a guest. You remember that orange-haired kid, right?

[shiba-explosion.livejournal.com]

See ya when you get here. Getting your ass kicked builds character!

Yeah, I remember him. Ichido? Ishigo? I thought he went back to the Living World ages ago.

[ganju_shiba]

He's kinda workin' with the Thirteenth now. Uh...well, it'll all make sense when we get there.

You know where the house is, right? Don't want ya wastin' your time running around the edges of Rukongai like a fool.

[ganju_shiba]

If it ain't been moved in the past month, I'm sure I can--

...

WAS it moved again?

[shiba-explosion.livejournal.com]

We're about four miles outside of the 60th. Since its Summer, we have the flower baskets outside.

[ooc: and by "flower baskets" she means stone carvings roughly as tall as the house with colorful stone flowers in them.]

[ganju_shiba]

Oh, those again? Awright, shouldn't be hard to find.

[ihazcheezburger.livejournal.com]

Quite, thank you. It'll save me the time it takes to track down your house when next you move.

On a more serious note... Kuukaku, keep your ear to the ground around the Rukongai. Strange things have been occurring, which you might be made privy to given your rapport.

Re: [Private]

There's been a lot of shit stirring up in the Rukongai lately. Anything I need to look out for specifically?

[Private]

[ihazcheezburger.livejournal.com]

There are a few unsolved mysteries floating around.

1. Anti-Vaizard groups have appeared here and there...mostly harmless, but others not so much. They may conspire against Seireitei as a whole.

2. For a short period of time, shinigami were unable to hear the voice of their zanpakutou spirits or even exhibit shikai. The phenomenon then vanished for unknown reasons.

3. A strange illness corrupted both shinigami and arrancar alike, causing masks to manifest in the former and regression into a Hollow-like state in the latter. Kisuke and the Fourth's lieutenant were able to produce a cure, but the fact that it occurred at all is rather perplexing, no?

There are others, of course, but I wouldn't want to keep you too busy.

Re: [Private]

[shiba-explosion.livejournal.com]

Huh, thats a lot of shit. Just what the hell's been going on in Seireitei, Yoruichi?

I've heard some mutterings about those anti-Vaizard people. Its mostly rumor mill, though, but there are a few people who are cheering them on. I'm near the 50's right now, but I have some contacts I'm due to drop in on.

As for the zanpakutou and the mask thing... I'll set out some nets, but, I don't think you'll hear much about that stuff in the Rukongai.

Pssh, busy? I'm dragging Ganju home for some sibling ass-whoopin' quality time and its the highlight of my month. Come over some time when you're not on business, why dont you?

I need to talk to you about something anyway

[Private]

[ihazcheezburger.livejournal.com]

I don't know. And that's what disturbs me. Rest assured, though, I'll keep you in the loop. As long as you use that particular communicator, our transmissions can't be seen by anyone other than you and I, and Kisuke.

As always, your help is greatly appreciated.

I may do just that~ It's been a long time, after all.

Re: [Private]

[shiba-explosion.livejournal.com]

Thanks, its time I stopped being a hermit anyways.

Will do about the communicator, though having to wear this damn arm is bugging the shit outta me. Tell Kisuke to go jump off a cliff, for old times sake for me!

I'll keep the sake cold.

Re: [Private]

[ihazcheezburger.livejournal.com]

Being a hermit has its advantages. But I wouldn't want you to get rusty the way I did~

I'm sure he'll appreciate the sentiment!

...Just sake?

Re: [Private]

[shiba-explosion.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but damn does it get boring. And getting rusty, yeah, I could probably use a good work out as well. Ganju's trip home isnt just for him.

And... fine, I'll keep some milk cold for you, you damned tomcat.

[Private]

[ihazcheezburger.livejournal.com]

I thought as much. I'd be happy to go a few rounds with you as well, should you feel the need.

Thank you~

Re: [Private]

[shiba-explosion.livejournal.com]

Hah! I'm gonna fry the fur off your ass!

[Private]

[ihazcheezburger.livejournal.com]

You can't fry what you can't catch~~

Re: [Private]

[shiba-explosion.livejournal.com]

You've said that before and been proven wrong!

[Private]

[ihazcheezburger.livejournal.com]

Ha~! Your confidence does you credit. We'll see how far it gets you on the battlefield.

See you soon~

Re: [Private]

[shiba-explosion.livejournal.com]

I'll be waiting!
