Another week and already complications have arisen. For anyone who might venture to the Thirteenth's grounds, I'd advise staying away from building six; several squads apparently gathered for an unauthorized party this weekend, and the alcohol consumption deluded them into thinking a contest of shikai was a good plan. The building is no longer structurally sound.

Ichigo, good work with the butterflies the other day. Please thank your father for me for the gift he sent. It was unnecessary, but thoughtful.

Captain Ukitake, if your offer is still extended, I would like to accept the position.

What was in that package anyhow? Nothin' else in the box exploded--I was dubious. Yuzu didn't send you my mini taiyaki, did she? Traitor!

A special kind of honey gummi candy.

I'm very happy to hear that, Rukia. Come by when you get the chance to get what is your's now, and I'll make an announcement.

And, I'm going to have a word with the squads that will soon be renovating building six...

I'm sure they'll learn the error of their ways.

Uh, thanks? And don't mind the old man. He gets the idea in his head you're family, he's not gonna shake it any time soon. Just reap the benefits and don't overthink it.

[Private to Rukia]

Regarding that last bit--right now, I'm just really proud of you. So you know.

Ah, is that so? That explains the gift. He must want grandchildren.

[Private]

...thank you. That means a lot.

[fighting-boy.livejournal.com]

Yeah, seems that way. ... And eh, come again?

He sent some honey-flavored gummi candies that were quite nice. Apparently, they're also billed as having aphrodisiac qualities.

*sound of face meeting palm goes here*

... I'd say I'm sorry my family's completely off its rocker, but Yuzu and Karin still debunk that theory. Hopefully.

[the-rotator.livejournal.com]

I thought it was sweet.

[fighting-boy.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you can take it so in stride.

Congratulations are in order for you, Kuchiki-fukutaichou.

Also, in regard to the damage done to the 13th... Iba-san had sustained some injuries, though he is hesitant to explain their source to me. I suspect this gathering may have something to do with it... If so, allow me to extend my apologies and contribute what I must to the reconstruction of the building.

Thank you, sir.

That's a thoughtful gesture, truly not necessary. But I believe Captain Ukitake has a response in mind if you'd like to discuss it with him.
